Hello everyone,
Got a Bell Atrix 4G, unlocked it and I am using on Rogers network. So far, it is working well.
I am having a problem setting Notification Light. I tried the built in notification light under Settings and a few different notification light apps from market. I used to get a green light for email before but I don't get it anymore after playing with other free apps. I just can't figure this out. I put my phone on vibration mode at work so I would love to have notification lights working.
What I need is different lights for Missed calls, Email, SMS. Has anyone dealt with this issue?
Any help will be much appreciated and thank you!
I use the app light flow for that. Gives me total control over the LED. I have different colors flash for different notifications.
I use Light Flow https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow
and it handles a ton of apps and uses a TON of color combinations.
Worth the $1.
haha, i was going to start this topic today. I use blue for my Trillian notifications, Purple for yahoo mails.
will try the light app suggested above.
Thanks!
Thank you guys! Yes, "Light Flow" makes it work. Please ensure you turn on "Setting > Display > Notification LED".
Light Flow does not work correctly on the ATRIX AT ALL. I had low battery warnings going off when the battery was fully charged, no charge LED ON option, no charging LED, only discharging WTF?

Hi,
I have 2 issues with the TP2...
a) Keyboard Light - can it be set to a different value? Seems it is set to around 10 sec - tried Advanced Config..but that doesnt seem to work..also cudn't find anything in the Registry yet.
b) LED - the LED only seems to work during charging(Red/Green solid) = any program/Registry hack to use the LED for other Options (eg "new Mail" = Red blinking)?
Hope someone has the same issues and found a solution already
Thanks!
Regarding the notification light, you should RTFM. You don't need a hack. By default the notification light will blink green for missed calls, new SMS, and new emails. It'll blink amber for low battery warning.
Yea I would like the keyboard to stay lit longer as well. For the LED notifications make sure you select the "flash light for" in the sounds & notifications settings.
But it will not blink when there is missed call or sms when you are charging the phone though.
I don't have that problem with my previous X1.
LED & Keyboard Light
Hi Guys,
thanks a lot - stupid oversight of mine in reg to the LED
However still looking for the Keyboard Light..I used Advanced Config and set it to 30 sec..but that doesn't seem to work.
Also looked into the Registry but cudn't find anything related there as well.....
Cheers!
What are the reg entries for the LED lights? I would like diff colors as well
yes me too. please post your solution
I doubt the registry will give you different colour apart from the green, amber & red. It's a hardware thing.

I guess its too bad then that the manual doesnt say this functionality is BROKEN.
i had to turn it off as it would continue to blink even after I cleared the notifications.

I've searched and searched for a tweak or mod for that - I would MUCH prefer it blink for alerts / notifications, even when connected. Mine usually sits in the cradle when at home. If the LED blinked for missed calls / messages while in the cradle, I could see that at a glance from across the room, rather than going to it and looking at the screen.
Is there a tweak or mod to force the LED to blink, regardless of connection state? I don't care what color.
Thanks, Folks!

guys google nueLed that might work its an old program that controls the Led in many ways
I've seen references to nueLED, but also read of several issues with it on the newer devices (TP2s in particular.) I'll do some searching later today and see if I can come up with a later version and/or higher confidence level that it won't give me problems.
Thanks for the suggestion! Anybody else?
Well, I managed to do a bit of research about NueLED today. I keep finding too many comments in various threads on various forums that mention problems, particularly on TP2s and even more particularly with WM6.5. Perhaps most are overblown - I honestly don't know. But it's enough to give me pause. Above all else, I need to keep Touchie as stable as he is currently. That said...
Can anybody confirm that NueLED works reliably on the T7373 w/ WM6.5 (official HTC SEA ROM update) with no instability or quirks?
Beyond that, can somebody confirm that NueLED provides an option for the notification LED to blink even when connected to power? That is really my only interest. I'm fine with the current setup & colors, but would like the LED to blink for an alert when the device is in the cradle.
Thanks, as always, for the help and suggestions!

The impact on battery life should be absolutely minimal. It blinks when a application sent a notification with a LED-request to the phone. Usually, you can turn this off in the application in question.
For example, Gmail lets the LED blink green when a new E-mail was recieved, Twidryod lets it blink blue. In both programs, you can deactivate the LED-notification in the settings of the program.
None of my apps (incl gmail) have any LED options, and I've never seen the LED flash at all. Not for calls, sms, email or anything.
Could be under sound, pulse notification light?

If a guy wants to carry on a conversation by himself he need not do it in the forums.

Try Light Flow app to see if LED is working or not
Well I've got LED pulse enabled in display settings but it's not working, even with Light Flow test mode.
Is there a trick I'm missing or is it buggered?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Is your LED ON, pulsing or OFF while the phone is charging?
Mine is OFF
Also the LED is pulsing when I get an email, but off if I get a notification from the agenda.
Is this normal behaviour?
Care to share the solution buddy ?
Others may have the issue as well .
It didn't seem to be working for me either, but now it is.
I installed Light Flow, just to run the test, and that seems to have fixed it. Running the test didn't help particularly (you need to turn the screen off during the test, and the LED only flashed once), but once enabled I get a subtle green LED with an unread email in my Gmail inbox.
I didn't change any of the settings in Light Flow or on my phone apart enabling Light Flow in Accessibility as the app requests when it starts up.
Hope that helps someone.

Just done the same, much better now.
Strange that there is not any control of this without installing the app
I read online how to enable it, not sure how true it is.
Settings > Display > Pulse (something like that, there should be a check box)
Apparently it's disabled on stock, you have to enable it like that first.
Don't know if it works, worth a shot right?

Stock work only with sms. Light flow is very good !
so by 4.2 default, led notifications only work with sms messages? really? seems a bit daft. i'm sure on the gnex i had for a while using stock i got led flashes for missed calls tweets etc
I have just received the Nexus4 and was intrigued about this led light. I have seen in screen options a ticker which is called Notification ligth, which is marked. I tried to call myself from home but the LED did not light, so I have tried sending me an email and it has started to blink in white.
Maybe I had no patience after calling me or it just work for some notifications. I shall investigate it further.
Hope this can help you
I've been using Light Manager so far. I can only specifiy the Color for SMS. If i turn Chose gmail to Flash red and missed calls orange i dont get any notification for a missed call and only a White one for gmail. Same for any other Color.
Hi,
It works for me (stock) :
SMS (Handcent)
Mail : Gmail
Whatsapp and probably more... I would say try to disable/enable led notification.
Mine only flashes green for new gmail and that seems to be it. Light flow test did nothing, even with screen off.

Hello all,
Myself like many others have started using the BBM service on our Nexus 4's. So far I have no complaints, it's been working great and I am enjoying the app/service.
One issue I have noticed, and I am not sure how to fix, is the notification LED. In the app settings I chose an LED colour and turned the notifications on. So I would assume that I would receive an LED blinking notification when I get a message in BBM. For some reason though it isn't working for me. My phone will vibrate and I will get a notification in my drop down menu, but the LED doesn't flash to alert me.
I am running Light Flow Lite, I don't know if this would have something to do with it though? A friend of mine is also using BBM and Light Flow lite on her S3 and the LED light works fine for BBM incoming notifications.
Any ideas on what I could do to try and fix the issue? Thanks.
Have you tried disabling the notifications on BBM settings? Perhaps enabling the Light Flow and BBM notifications both on interferes with each other.

I haven't tried that, but BBM isn't an option for me in Light Flow since I am using the Lite version. I only have access to a limited number of apps to specify LED colour with Light Flow lite. So right now I don't have BBM under Light Flow, but do have notification LED turned on in BBM app.
Try Light Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager&hl=en
I've found that Light Flow has conflit with whatsapp led light (it won't show the whatsapp led), LM working great.
I have the exact same phone as my partner. Both the same OS, software version - everything. The only difference is that I can't get notification lights to work on her phone for things like SMS, WhatsApp etc.
If I choose a light colour in WhatsApp on my phone it works - flashes, works fine. Do the same on hers and she gets no light whatsoever. I have set our phones up to have exactly the same settings, neither of us has any special apps installed (like Light flow) and pretty much all our system settings are exactly the same. Her LED toggle is switched on the same as mine and she is using the same SMS app. Neither of us has any rogue-looking apps installed. We both have the same SMS client and all apps are up-to-date.
Does anyone have a clue what could be going on here? Her light definitely isn't faulty as it works when someone calls - flashes green, lights red when charging and blue when she double-taps the screen to unlock.
I'm all out of ideas now. She is not wanting to do a full restore.
