Lightflow problem, same as my mega - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Light flow accessibility option on makes the default video player bottom bar not go away. Figured it out with my Mega. Tried on wife's note 3 and it does the same thing. Without accessibility light flow will not work properly

Light flow works without accessibility option. Be sure to check notification access in the Android settings though! The bug with the accessibility option you describe comes in many other forms too. For example once the accessibility option is active all gestures stop working( like one handed use gesture). The bug is pretty nasty and persists since years on different Samsung devices. There is another thread about this with more information.

We just want to stop email from flashing the notification light all night but still want the notification icon. That's all

Light Manager works for me on all those. You do need to uncheck some of the stock led options in the settings. Don't disable, click on the words notification light and the individual selections will appear. Uncheck all the stuff you have changed the color on.

the problem is that light manager doesn't support the power button light so if the phone is sitting on its face you wouldn't notice any notification for third party apps

I can't get light manager or lite flow to work. I read I might need to do a factory reset, but want to avoid that.
Basically in either app, the test mode doesn't even work. I turned all the notifications off but left the notification light on. I know the light works and they light up when enabling them there. Gmail never works and same with Google voice. The calendar and text do work.
Anyone have thoughts?

I did a another factory reset. Lite flow didn't work at first, but it ended up working. Just make sure you install it before anything from the play store. I bought the full version so i could control Google voice. Well worth it in the end. I'm still ironing out the settings,but it works well now.

Let us know how it's working for you in a couple days.
I had it working on mine as well, but always after a day or two, it starts giving phantom notifications (the LED lights green, even with no notifications) and also using green for any notifications (it completely ignores the custom color setting).
I'd love to hear that it's still working for you in a few days. I hate not really having use of the LED for my needs (such a waste of a multicolor LED )

Yes, both Light Manager and Light Flow works for me. I'm rooted with the notifications lights turned on but the individual lights off. 90% of the time it would display the correct colors but sometimes it will go to the default green for my gmail. My charging color light always works. Make sure the options in Light Flow are correct. Check root mode if you are rooted, run in foreground, and reset color before change. I also have the reduce wake lock checked, and it's working for me so either way should work. To test just set the charging battery notification to blue with it constantly on, then plug in the power. The blue led should turn on.
I've also tried Light Manager and Lightflow and I've got nothing. LED's working with stock notifications, but not with third party software.
Does anyone have ideas for solutions or do I need to factory reset my phone (will that solve it)?
I had the same issue: native LED notifications worked (email, calendar, charging, etc.) but no 3rd party apps (BBM, WhatsApp, Kik, IM+, etc.) and Light Flow would not work. Light Flow was working in that I could hear the sounds, but no LED.
I had been using Light Flow on a GS3 for over a year so I was familiar with the app but nothing I did got it working.
Finally, I decided to do a factory reset; however, I first turned off "save settings to google servers" (paraphrased) and turned off "automatically restore apps and settings" (paraphrased). After the reset, I re-installed Light Flow first and then a 3rd party app (BBM, I think). Did a quick test and Light Flow was working! I then reinstalled the rest of my apps and for the most part everything is working.
Only two slight issues: my Email LED is green rather than the yellow I set it for (although it seems a very bright green, I wonder if they are both working?), and my Calendar reminder does not work at all (natively or using Light Flow). However, I am not sure if the issue is that I am using a replacement calendar app (DigiCal+) or a Calendar Snooze app. Not a biggie though, I am happy that my IM and 3rd party app LED's are working, especially since I am running the stock launcher and my notification badges aren't working for non-native apps (I used to use Missed It! with Nova Prime).
Oh. Same issue. Even the test mode does not work . And i don't want to reset at any cost
Even whatsapp notifications do not work. that's bad.
Might run going into settings > general > accessibility and check to see if Lite Flow or Lite manager is on in the services. Hope this helps

Light Flow strange behavior

Something very strange is happening with light flow. If I enable light flow option under accessibility I get a different keyboard layout. Instead of swiping the space bar to change language I get a small globe button on the left. When I disable light flow I get the standard keyboard. In android 4.3 it's best to leave the light flow option off under accessibility because you enable it in security and you get to avoid that annoying lady talking to you when you use the stock browser. What I want to know is how can I change that keyboard layout by myself. I looked in every single option in the settings but nothing. Here's screen shots of what I mean:

Light flow works well on my unrooted GN3. However, I don't use the stock keyboard though, so I'm not affected by it.
Why don't you email the developer through email? I've emailed him many times and he's very friends and helpful

[APP] Light Manager Compatibility

I am the developer of Light Manager. It is an app to configure notification LED color and its flashing frequency for different notification types.
I noticed that there are quite a lot of Nexus 5 users are using Light Manager app. Almost comparable to Samsung devices which Light Manager is designed based on. So I would like to make it fully compatible with Nexus 5. One major bug that users reported is the WhatsApp notification LED does not turn off even after notification has been read or cleared. I think it happens to other notification as well.
I don't have a Nexus 5 to test. Could someone willing to help in doing some beta testing? You may PM me or send me an email. I will send you the install apk for beta testing.
Thanks in advanced.
Actually I only start to have problem after update to 5.8, I am using ART
p.s. I got the same problem on hangout, not whatsapp
I have no issues with light manager but I don't use whatsapp or art.

You mean the LED notification for hangouts remains blinking even after you have read the message? If you are using normal mode, did you enable "Allow Recreate Notification" in Light Manager > Hangouts option?

Could someone here verify if it happens to you too? Just want to make sure if this bug happens to all Nexus 5 users instead of certain users only. By the way, he is using alternating mode.
Thanks in advanced.
I use to use this app a lot but the same issue with the whatsapp app was happening with Google hangouts for some reason.
I really love this app and always use it.
Is it possible to make notifications flash even if the screen is on? (i.e when using another app)
Thanks in advance

This has to be done at the firmware side instead of application.
Light Manager can support it if manufacturer allows it.

Will custom notifications sounds be implemented in future releases or the donate version?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Sometimes whatsapp notifications keeps blinking even after clearing the notification. It's needed to restart the light manager app.
It would be nice to have a led notification when receiving a call like light flow does.
There is no charging indication too. But I think it's a problem of nexus and not the app.
I keep using this app anyway, I use since a had a galaxy s4.

There's no continuous led when charging.
The s4 behaviour is: when charging, red led continuously, when fully charged green led continuously.
In my recent experience with nexus 5, I can see that, with the stock kernel, it's impossible to have continuous led, only intermittent.
With custom kernels, like Franco or faux, we can see in changelog that there is continuous led implementation.

You can try go to Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Static LED and select option 2. That will give you somehow continuous red LED (In fact it is just 8s on 2s off as reported by other Nexus 5 user).

[Q] Ambient display on the Note 4

Hello,
Is it possible to have ambient display working on the Note 4 like the Nexus 6 just by picking it up or when a notification arrives ?
yup. enable it from the hidden air gesture menu using the app. no rooting required.
Cool thanks, and does it affect the battery life ?

What app?????
It's not in the recent release. It's missing. It should be under the display and wallpaper menu in the settings screen above the daydream option. You can use alternative apps from play store such as acDisplay or dynamicnotifications - they are more like the moto x (2014) version of ambient display so won't be the same as what you'll get on nexus 6 or in cm12. I'm guessing they'll release it in a future update which I hope is sooner rather than later. The lollipop release for note 4 had been somewhat delayed for one reason or another. There's also a bug on the priority notifications where you can't set a time period for auto selection of priority notifications as you would have in blocking mode. I'm hoping that is resolved in a future update too.

Seems like the coding is there but I'm guessing the ui implementation could be one of the bugs that they're supposedly working on. Hope three rollout of lollipop starts again soon and that these issues are rectified.

Disabling "Peek" notifications

having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to turn off peek on apps. I have gone through the settings and found nothing other than disabling notifications completely. I read some stuff on other sites talking about enabling something called UI tuner in Android N, but the method they say to use does not seem to work on the V20. Can anyone point me in the right direction to these settings?
I don't know how you get them in the first place. I don't get them
Sent from my LG-H918 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I'm not sure what you mean by peek notifications but you can swipe left when a notification shows up and hit the setting icon to disable notifications
if you go settings/apps go to the app you want to turn off s turn show silently on
it doesn't work like on marshmallow or at least on a samsung device.
it basically disables peek vibrate and tone..but you still get the notification on your 2nd screen or notificacion bar..pretty stupid if u ask me
Anyone figure this out yet? On the note 7 you were able to disable peek but still have your phone ring or vibrate... This phone you either have peek or disable everything grrrr..... Help anyone it's suppose to be an Android 7 feature but it's not present on this phone LG v20
