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

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...

My DHD has now the functionality of a rock!

Same problem here too... is this a universal problem for those who have updated?

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.

[Q] recommend a led notification app

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.

Hands on my new Nexus (how to...)

Hello!
Just unpacked my new phone today. I can't do some things:
1) The notification LED seems not to work the way i want. How do i configure that (colors, blinking time etc)?
2) How i remove and add some items to the notification bar, like GPS on/off etc?
THanks !
1) download lightflow from the play store.
2) They cannot be configured with the stock rom. Custom Roms have this ability. Alternatively there are a few apps in the play store that emulate the touch wiz toggles.

'Notification Toggle' on the Play Store is what I use. Doesn't need root or anything

get the following apps and you will be good to go:
1) lightflow
2) widgetsoid
I like how the responses that told the OP to search for such simple answers were deleted. Jeez, what happened to the "search first" rule in xda?

Get Motoactv alerts as a pop up rather than in the status bar?

I want to get my hangouts notifications as an alert so that when I shake my wrist to check the time, I actually see them unlike where I used to need to pull the status bar down. No icons show up in my status bar unlike in standard android.

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head that will do what you are asking is Augmented Smartwatch pro: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alk.k9
You can configure pop-ups for all notification types with this app.
Before I buy this, do I need to have this on my phone? I'm using my watch standalone on wifi. Could I have it be connected to its self with the app?

No, this app pairs to the phone. I don't know of any standalone options for hangouts popups. Perhaps there is an app on the market? Unfortunately, I do not use hangouts............I just like popups for text messages which I get through Tablet Talk paired to my phone (only works for calls/mms/sms).

It's not specifically Hangouts, I just want every notification to show as an alert like in Augmented Smartwatch, but stand alone.

Does Lightflow work on this device?

Hey everyone! Got my G2 today. Got it rooted in like 5 mins. Almost done setting it up. One thing I can not seem to make work is Lightflow. It's kinda weird I've done everything I normally do. It's set up the same way as my Nexus 4. LED is enabled. I've tried unchecking all the stock system LED'S etc. Stock works. I've Googled it already and it doesn't seem like any kind of known issue. Accessibility is turned on. Root enabled. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I love Lightflow.

Yes, it does work. However, it took a while for me to figure out the proper configuration. You must leave the G2's stock LED notifications enabled, but disable all the individual apps/notifications (incoming call, missed call, etc) except for the one labeled "Downloaded apps" (make sure that one is enabled/ticked).
In Lightflow's settings, have "root mode", and "Run in foreground" enabled. Seems that "Nexus 5 force LED reset" is enabled by default, so I left that alone. "Reduce wake" is optional...seems to work either way.
For some apps to work properly (Like Facebook Messenger) you must have "Accessibility Services" enabled for Lightflow as well.
I think that should do it.

This seems reasonable enough. The only question I have is that I don’t see a "downloaded apps" option under the LED settings "see screenshot" is it located somewhere else?

Hmm, well I'm on the Verizon variant, so maybe that option isn't available on yours...? It's underneath the other notifications...
Maybe try some of these troubleshooting steps.

Dang. Have you been updated, or was it that way from the beginning? I'm on the T-Mobile variant. Thanks for the help anyway. Maybe someone else will chime in on this too. :thumbup:

On the latest JB update. Not sure if it was that way before the update, since I did the update the day I got the phone (before rooting or installing any apps).
Hopefully someone else can help you.
