[Q] recommend a led notification app - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

can anyone recommend a good one for the nexus
I am using light flow light at the moment but seem to be getting lots of what i can only call 'miss reads' as the led flashes green for no reason. I mean that there is no email received or anything else to cause it to light up as far as i can see.
so.....are there any others you can recommend i try....i want it mainly for missed calls and email (k9)

I'm using light flow and haven't had any issues so far. Have you checked through all the notifications? There are lots of things the led can come on for eg signal loss, charging battery etc

I'm using LightFlow and it works pretty well, but it seems like the latest version is really bad about dismissing the light notification even after the app has been entered. Specifically with the Messages app. Does it on my Galaxy Nexus, too.

+1 LightFlow, haven't noticed the issue you've experienced...though only had a few days. I'll keep an eye out.

Seems its linked to the k9 notification as when I dissabled this the the led stopped flashing. When enabled it was back to flashing all the time and not just as if it was a new email received.

Have you followed the "hint" for k9 to change a setting in k9 to stop this happening.
Thinking about it, since I wrote the k9 notification I may be able to filter this issue out in future versions without changing that setting.
Also the lightflow debugger widget it handy for tracking down issues like this as it'll list which notifications the app thinks are on.

Glad I am not the only one, so fare I tried to disable incoming text notifications and then reboot. After reboot I enabled them again. changed nothing. Thing is I find the problem to be totally random. Dose it sometimes and its not for the same contacts.

I have had the same thing with the notifications, but along with it I am not getting notifications for half of my texts, I only notice I have some of them my manually looking into the messages app.
Tried rebooting, changing the notification settings etc and nothing works!

Have the same problem. Exactly every second SMS does not have any notification! Sometimes it vibrates, but there is no notification in the statusbar...so I have to open the SMS-App.
Now I will miss every important SMS and I have to check all 10-20min to be sure -.-
Hope there will be a fix!
Got the same bug. This is a major bug, and htc have to relese a bugfix asap! This bug makes the phone useless. Can't thrust the phone anymore...

I guess im really lucky. I updated and have had no problems whatsoever. Not even that 100% CPU bug. I couldnt be happier. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that i followed hamdir's guide to install the update and keep root and s-off.

The sms-bug isn't there all the time. I've only got two txtmsg that didn't trigger the alert. And I got a lot of txtmsgs. But the two that didn't trigger the txtmsg receive notification was two important txtmsg, so I no longer can trust my phone.
I do not have the 100 cpu load issue. So it has nothing to do with that. My battery is just as good as I think a battery should be on a phone in this class. The only thing that really drains my battery is the Angry Bird Seasons. But I'm addicted, so I keep on playing

Same here, its completely random which messages it happens with and it is not the same people that trigger it too. So far I have seen no pattern to the messages with, for example it is not every fourth message etc, they happen at random intervals and the only time I know there is one is when I actually open the inbox.
This needs fixing asap!
Just like to say 1. I have a dhd sim free on official Rom. 2. With regards my notification problem the best way to save you having to clear the notification bar after you read the text is it to access your text via notifications bar in the first place.

looks like i spoke too soon.. someone sent me a sms and i hadn't seen it cause the phone didnt notify me. Only when i went into the messages app it showed :/
edit: and now im getting the notification stuck in the bar at the top HTC need to get on this.
its a very random issue. started happening to me after i deleted my HTC sense account (and then reinstalled it) after doing the OTA update to deal with the 100% CPU issue
Can confirm that trying a different messaging app from the market will fix both problems. The one with stuck notification in the bar and the one where you don't get a notification. Just make sure to disable notifications in the stock app.
Ty! I'll try that out later.

Led lights working with kik messenger

If your a kik user you would know that the app has a led color changer for received messages. Well in 2.1 I tried and the colors never changed but since I been using the leaked froyo I notice that every color you pick works. Has it work for anyone else? & would it be possible to do the same with other apps?

CM10.1 & Notifications

First off I'd like to say I believe this is an extremely isolated issue, but I would appreciate any and all help.
I can't seem to get notifications working for snapchat. I've looked around before since I had the issue in CM10 with my note, but I've found nothing on the subject. I realize not many people here probably use snapshot, but the way it works is that when a snap is received, the screen turns on and a notification pops up in the notification bar. Since I flashed CM10.1 today I receive the snaps but my screen does not turn on and no notification appears.

I've noticed this has gotten quite a few views and I just want to post the solution. For whatever reason, if you use titanium backup to restore the app it will not be able to display notifications.
To fix it just reinstall the all through the play store.

Can you make screen flash on email ?

Can you make screen flash on email ?
At the moment I have to wakeup the Nexus 7 all the time to monitor email
You can activate notifications by sound and by flashing led. No need to unlock to see or hear. But to address your question, I don't know of any screen flashing app.

Oops, my bad. I'm so used to my Bionic I forget the N7 only has sound notifications. In the Gmail account settings you can set a sound notification for each message received, so you might be more likely to hear it.
Look in the apps section of xda, there are 2 apps, something like buttonled or noled. I'll post a link if I come across it again.
Here you go:

Buttonled won't work with a nexus, but try noled

Or just try Tasker, its hard to master, but whren you do, you can do like anything you want with it

[Q] Notification Light

Hi guys,
I got my G2 today and it's amazing , but i'm facing an issue with the notification light in the front.It shows notification for text messages but it doesn't with any 3rd party app like whatsapp and google+. Is there any way to fix this ?
Device completely stock..
It doesn't allow it, just laziness on LG part sadly. Someone said you can root and use one of the apps but doesn't work for me so I'm back on stock. It's annoying.
