LED Color notifications

Is anyone running an app on their slide for changing the led colors when messages,calls, etc comes in( for non-rooted phones) or do you need root for this?

LED Notifications
I have tried many; all have been a epic failure showing only a green light no matter the color selected... And I'm not running root, not yet anyway...

Wonder if it has to be something like the trackball for nexus (trackball alert free) ill test that tomorrow and post back if it works

Tackball alert doesn't work, it requires custom ROM's not available to us, just tried it. no matter what colour I picked it flashed green

Wow that really sucks lol

After looking at the LED real close while it was charging I noticed the orange is at the top of the spot and the green is at the bottom. If you look real close while it is lit up you'll notice there 2 LEDs on the chip, so it looks like orange and green are all we'll be able to get

Notification LED

Hi.
Im used to have a LED notification LED on my current phone, Nexus One and The old Magic.
I just purchased a S2 on eBay.
Is there a Notification LED on the S2?

I can't believe that they didn't put a LED on this phone either. It makes no sense.

Because you can't take your eyes off your phone, so a LED is useless

noled looks very nice

great to see NoLED working on the SII
I wonder how the new SAMOLED+ screen adjusts for battery savings with my app. I've seen through the videos that there are some screen brightness/color customizations that dynamically adjust to the image displayed on the screen.
I can't wait til I get my hands on this device.

It does look nice, until you notice that it drains your battery and keeps the phone warm to the touch since the screen is on the whole time when a notification is on the screen.

but since it has an samoled screen, i dont think that the whole screen is on, or not?
i thought a main advantage of BLACK on samoled screens is that the black pixels are OFF and only others need to be maintained with power?

Just use it and you'll see.

Yea it is said it works like this. But I can't imagine the black pixels consuming 0% power. Can't wait for my Sgs2 in two weeks!

if you also know what you're doing and configure the app right. you could make it consume absolutely no more power than without.
check out the battery saving features submenu

Isn't there a LED indicator on the front of the GSII? Look at 0:15 of the below video where it blinks while phone is booting up:

the black pixels don't use power, but the display controller still has to be powered on and that uses battery too

Led notifications

Hello!
Now that we have root, I'd like to know if we can in some way modify the notification light so that it uses the led on the homescreen led?
Would be so much better then the one on the side!

Well it's gonna be pretty hard, since there's no LED on the front, only an ambient light sensor and a proximity sensor....

I think maybe the OP means the lights between the buttons on the homescreen.

There behind the home button!

I would LOVE THIS!!!

Yea lol I thought normally things see on the top yea the bottom lights would be amazing but camy see it been done really

Im using the application "Light Flow" from the market on my play
although it only does the light on the top of the phone it is useful for it to flash different colours.

Don't beleve the ambient light is a multicolor led anyways...

Pretty sure its not, but it would be so awsome if the led behind the homekey could just light up whenever something hapened. that way i could just have it in the dark at home and see if it lights up at all time without having to turn it the right way.

whatsapps does have the features to use different colour side led when a new notification arrived....

Blink - Just search on the Market for it =)

yup whatsapp can change the colour of the side LED for notification

I had BLN on my SGS Captivate. It would be awesome to find a way to do the same with the front button lights on the Arc.

Notification light?

Is the LED below the screen supposed to function as a notification light? I ask because I haven't seen it light up even once for anything. Not when charging, nor when there are new emails, messages, etc. Heck, does it work at all?

I see the notification light blink white when I have a new email from Gmail. Do you have Settings->Display->Pulse notification light enabled?
I guess you should make sure you have email notifications (do you hear sounds?) on as well.

I to have yet to see this notification light. I do have Pulse notifications enabled and yet nothing happens when charging even after the device is turned off and charging. I'm unlocked, rooted, stock, with CWM recovery.
Edit: I also do hear the notifications when receiving emails just not the light notification.

Yes, my pulse notification setting is on. I get the audible tone that I have email but no light ever.

You guys are not alone. There is another thread on this issue. Seems that the LED, for some of us, works sometimes but often does not work at all. There is an app called LED tester (free) that you can use to see what the situation is with your LED. Note that installing Light Flow is not a solution - when the LEDs are not working they will not be working under Light Flow control. So far I haven't been able to spot what triggers the LEDs to start or to stop working. Restarts seems to have no effect. With mine, when they work they work for a day or two then abruptly stop and stay stopped for a day or so.
A number of people seem to be affected by this but there is no indication yet whether this is a software bug (hopefully) or a dodgy hardware batch.

Mines been working since day one... Installed light flow and kept on moving

I've never seen the LED on mine, LED tester does nada! I'm hoping it's software but ultimately not too concerned, not a feature I care too much about.

Where is the light supposed to show up?

My notification light works, alas on both the N10 and the GN it *never* blinks on the first notification it should report after a reboot. From the 2nd time onwards it works as intended.

Didn't even realize this had an led...so guess mines never lit up either

The notification light only blinks when the screen is off and a notification is received...

By default, the notification lights only show up when the screen is off... and the moment you power on and reach your lockscreen, they go off... in my custom ROM, I have an option to enabled the notifications lights when the screen is on as well...

No kidding, I had to go look in the little book to see where the led even was!

I disabled it due to constant pulsing...mine works TOO good.

Looks like mine doesn't work. Even after using light works app. This may push me to exchange this now along with light bleed problem that is pretty visible.

I hope so buddy. I find the LED notification to be extremely useful. Great not having to turn on the screen each time to see if you missed something. Just wished Samsung got more creative with the notification like LG did with the Optimus Pro.

What I meant about "more creative" was that LG decided to make the LED notification around the home button instead of a blinking dot on the device. As far as apps, Light Flow is definitely the way to go.

Lg was not the first to come with that design. Just saying. My htc flyer had this design too.
