Light flow not working properly after .253 - Xperia Z General

Hi the pulse light now works in stamina mode but not properly with programs like light flow led control. The leds flash correctly for a couple of seconds before sonys default led notifications replace them.
Tried different programs and settings, even disabled stamina mode but nothing works.

And if you run the cycle tests under tools, does the same behaviour show?

Yes the same behavior when you run the test and the same thing happens when I tried a different led control pRogram
when the screen is on it works fine as soon as the screen is off it exhibits the same behavior. Stamina mode on or off doesn't make a difference.
worked fine in.434 or whatever the old firmware was.

Right, mine worked until I rooted my phone. How I got this to work was to delete all the lightflow folders on the internal SD, then deleted all data for the app, un-installed the app and re-installed it, now it is all working fine. I am using 3.7.0.

Done all that still not working what Rom are you on. Not rooted and it worked fine in the old Rom.

Try LedBlinker Pro app. I just bought it and it works perfect!

It worked on my FTF ROM posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280329 non rooted, it didn't work initially when I moved to NUT's rooted ROM, that was until I did the steps I mentioned above.

strange I wonder why it doesn't work here.I'm going to try out the UK o2 Rom tomorrow.

i have the same problem mate, unfortunately it is lightflow related. I found a string on the developer site telling that lightflow can have problem with stamina mode and he suggest to disable stamina mode!
Now i will try this other app (Led Blinker) and check if it will work.
The behavior is clear: stamina mode shuts off the lightflow process.. i think the developer must fix it!
EDIT:
tried both, tried to whitelist both in stamina mode menu, tried to delete folders, app data, cache, everything. But still not working lightflow neither led blinker.
On stock ROM after few seconds Stamina shut off the LED control..

Does you LED even work .
Just out of interest do you have google backup enabled, to back up your phone to your registered email account?
Disable this and see if you still have the same problem, just putting it out there because I do not use this feature and I had read someone posting something about this along to LED issues.
This can be found under settings, Backup & reset

BTW, LEDBlinker seems to work flawless by using user-defined values for the LED off and on times!

right well led blinker works in normal mode now.
has any one got it working with stamina mode on.

No i have the function disabled! (and yes my LED works by default with all the apps)

I updated my XZ to .253 and yes it has this bug. Earlier my LED light used to work fine. I had set different colors for different applications but now after the update the light blinks to default white color for all the applications while the screen is locked. It behaves normally once the screen is unlocked. Earlier I used to know by the color of LED what is the notification for without unlocking the screen but now I have to check evrytime Hope sony fixes this bug in the next update. Anyone of u guys face this problem ??

i don't think this is a bug.. only that sony, to fix the previous issue, changed the method the LED is managed.
The developers of the applications should fix something i think!

The problem is to do with the Sony firmware, this is obviously the case and has been for a while now, because some people have this problem and some do not.
This is likely to be due to the variations of the ROM per location. For example my ROM has issues with WIFI but the europe version does not, and the list goes on for inconsistancies.

Right guys heres a update.
Had some free time so flashed the O2 (uk) .253 version and now the led magically works, even in stamina mode.
Plus the phone is back to its original smoothness.
So for me the .253 central european version wasnt as good as O2 UK's .253 version which I guess makes sense for me as its a UK phone and I live in England..

i780 & LED indicator in stand-by mode

Hi everyone,
I've noticed that the indicator LED of the Samsung i780 will not flash to signal missed calls etc. once the device has entered stand-by (=display off) mode - and likely every other user of that device has as well.
I gathered from several threads that this is likely due to the flashing done by some software that just isn't run during stand-by.
Anyone a clue how to work around that? Obviously some software is still working in stand-by, since the phone will respond to incoming calls etc.
Thanks for any hints&discussion.
Tee im S
PS: Could someone please smack the developers who created this brain fart until they understand the basics of usability? Like trying to use the device for more than 5 minutes and see if some annoying properties show up? I'll never understand how that could possibly pass the SW-QC process. Well, I can, because there likely was no SW-QC process, but that makes things even worse.</rant>
Someone said that DontForget software fixes that,
i tried the old version, didn't help,
Try the new one and report...

Thanks for the hint; I downloaded, installed, and tried the latest version (2.01 PPC) from the developers homepage. Sadly, same result as you have: doesn't make a difference, LED notifications still won't work once the display is off/the device is on stand-by.
But then, the developers themselves say:
http://magazin.softimage.cz/dontforget/app-description/ said:
"In general, all LED options/features are very device and even OEM specific and may not work in the same way or correctly on all devices. The best practise is to try it on your device before purchasing."

I'll try version 2.61 SP next, but I won't get my hopes up.

Dontforget SP
Short notice:
Tried the SP version of Dontforget - same results, no LED indicator in stand-by mode.
That's a real *D'oh!*.
I guess all that's left is waiting for a new (homebrew?) ROM.

I've had some success on my i780 with a little app called phoneAlarm. After a missed call or sms, an alarm is activated which flashes the green LED (I've set it to flash until I've acknowledged it and not too sure the impact on my battery life). I'm still playing around with the settings but it appears to be doing the job
Thanks for the hint; tried phoneAlarm lite and full.
Worked "kind of"; after a call wasn't answered the Led continued to flash even after the display turned off again - which is an improvement. However, once I switched the display on and off, the LED went dead again - and I did not acknowledge the messages/calls. LED continued to flash while the display was turned on again, and both phonealarm and todayplus signaled the missed call/unread SMS.
Maybe help comes this

way. Or with the official WM6.1 ROM.

No and Yes.
No: None of the available *official* firmware releases for *my localization* fixes the problem. Dunno about other releases.
Yes: There are several third-party-solutions. Have a look at
http://i780.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/samsung-i780-led-problem-solved/
and follow the links. Notif Blinker is the most lightwight solution I know.
(The blog is generally worthwhile to follow if you own a i780).
Generally: The whole issue is a major brain fart by Microsoft and/or Samsung.
HTH
Tee-im-S
i had the same problem with the led.
but now the phonealarm solution works fine on my i780.
I am using the version 2.13.
but before it will work you have to go to the extra-menu and in the drop-down menu to the point "indiv.LED colours". There you has to open the option menu and there the "device specific"-menue. There you can activate the LED Wakeup Fix (for i780).

Notification light

Hi Nexus 10 owners,
Love my Nexus 10 but I have an issue with the notification light under the screen.
It was working fine when I first got it on Friday, with it dimming on and off when an email is received.
But since yesterday, it hasn't light up at all, for any notifications, and I do have the "Pulse Notification Light" checked in setting.
So I was wondering if anyone else have any problems with the notification light? Could it be a bug, or perhaps my light broke after the first day?
Thanks in advance for any response.
I might suggest trying https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coolbeans.ledtester&hl=en to see if your light still works

Just tried the app and there's no light.
However, could it be that this app doesn't work on the Nexus 10 yet?

Yea it might be possible that app doesn't work; may want to see what an actual N10 owner has to report though
Works fine on my N10, only flashes white though, regardless what colour I pick.

Thanks though.
No problem, try reflash with stock images and you might get lucky. My Nexus 10 is buggy as sh** and I put it down to 4.2. It'll all get sorted out soon enough, hopefully yours is just a bug too. Hope you solve it.

UPDATE
Just reset my N10 and now the notification light works again.:victory:
Guess it must have been one of the app interfering with the light.
BTW, when I tested it with a LED tester app, it can actually show green, red, blue and purple lights.:good:

If I understand right, he just flashed a factory 4.2 image from Google, without any OTA updates.
You can get the factory software from the Google developer site and you can download it to your nexus device in case anything gets messed up.
By "put it down to", I mean I blame 4.2 (Android version on the Nexus 10) for all the bugs I'm having. It's a new OS, and this multiuser stuff amongst others means some pretty major changes so I expect it to be a little unstable for a while. Still a better state than honeycomb was when I bought my XOOM on launch day, boy was that a mess.
You're right about the lights, I just got it to work with all the different colours, cyan and then purple look nice

Wow, I did not know about the factory software from the Google developer site. Guess i learned something new today. :laugh:
UPDATE #2
The notification light is not working again
Reset my N10 again, then performed a LED light test each time I install a new app.
Until the last app installed, the notification light was working, then after a few minutes it stops working again.
So I guess it's not really caused by 3rd party apps.
So I ask again, has anyone had problem with their N10's notification light?
Still hoping that it's a bug instead of just me having a defective unit.
Thanks again!
I'm having the same issues. Sometimes the LED seems to be working, others it's not. I installed LED tester and again, sometimes it works fine and others not at all. I have tried to spot a pattern to see what causes it to stop and start and have drawn a blank - no idea. I have since installed light flow but this has not helped. Seems to me that there is either a software bug and we haven't yet figured what the trigger is, or there is a dodgy hardware batch (I hope it's the former!)

I think I've found the trigger. If I turn the device completely off, and turn it back on with the charger plugged in, notifications work. If I turn it back on with the charger unplugged, notifications do not work.
Other things I have tried which made no difference included factory reset and factory reflash.
Can some other folks see if their behavior matches mine? I have a replacement device being shipped to me, but if this is a software problem I'd rather not swap hardware. I'm very curious to hear if there are any devices that have a working LED under both boot up scenarios.
I think you are right. LED notifications were working ok when I had a freeze in google now. I restarted (on battery) and tested the notifications - no LED. I plugged in the charger, restarted the system and retested - LED working again. Looks like we have a workaround and a confirmed software bug rather than a hardware fault.
I'll test when I get home, but, I've only ever noticed the light when my tablet is plugged in, so it could be the same for me too. Shouldn't be a major problem, will get fixed in the next update as long as Google are aware.

Called Google today and they are sending me a replacement.
Ok, this is ridiculous.
Just unplugged my N10 and now the notification light is working.
So apparently it's working randomly.
Hopefully my replacement device works 100% of the time.
BTW, are replacement devices new, or refurbished?

LED Notification BUG!!!

LED notification light works only when battery low and while charging and then full charge indication not working for other notifications. mine OPT updated to oxygen os 2.1.0 rooted and unlocked bootloader with twrp recovery I have factory reset wiped caches and all after rooting the device

Factory reset the phone (in setting menu not in recovery) and not sign in when it set the phone up initially. Then once the home screen shows up, go into settings, then add account through backup & reset. It's a pain, but for some reason when I set the phone up like that, I got the LED light to work again. :highfive:
wanted to avoid factory reset...to old for the hassle
Thanks, will try and say whether it worked for me.
Update
It worked like a charm.

This worked for me as well, was definitely a hassle to get all my apps installed again but its worth it. Kept missing important messages and emails when I left the phone inside the room.

Is there a stable app for enabling the LED for notufications?

I have a moto G4 (16GB) dual sim...
I use moto LED enabler to allow notigications to use the LED.
It sucks however, it seems to only ever work once, abd then never again until the next reboot.
I've tried lightflow with various different settings, and can't get that to work at all..
Does abyone know of an alternatve app that works ?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, it at least confirms the problems I'm having as well.
I use ElementalX App to enable the charging LED, and it works pretty well.

Anyone have the exact settings for LightFlow?

Disable Charging LED, Possible?

Things ive tried:
1.Ive tried Xposed Modules for disabling it on other Huawei phones it did not work.
2. In root directory went to sys/devices/gpio leds /red & green or something like that. I changed the values to 0 for both and it disables it temporarily until unplugged & back in. (Its a pain to do this everytime,)
3. Light manager & light flow. Neither work.
Madvane anybody help plz. I use my device in the dark often.
Also the Red charging LED is considerably more bright thsn the green LED. Making it a real pain using when charging. Its brighter than the screen.
Have you tried Xposed GravityBox module?
It can disable charge LED on my Huawei Ascend Mate 2 which is running LineageOS/Nougat, so maybe worth a try to see if it works on the XT .

Just tried Gravity box. None of its features work AFAIK. I tried different features no avail. im stock B180 from madvane then i flashed magisk myself. Oh well.
This issue has come up before, but never resolved for XT as far as I can recall.

Pigs might fly before you see a custom ROM for the XT since Huawei won't release source code for the phone other than the bare minimum requirement by Google for Huaweis usage of Android.
Maybe cover the LED with black tape or don't use it at night when charging the phone .

No i know another way of disabling it temporarily. Until i unplug and plug back in. So i use that way.
If a config file edit works, just spitballing here... perhaps using tasker, automagic (my personal fav), macrodroid, or another similar app to edit the file upon being plugged in would work. There's several file manipulation plugins for tasker (which also work on automagic, macrodroid, locale, and others), and if all else fails you can use command line.
It's a little more involved, but I can't imagine any reason it wouldn't work. .
