Do you think that it would be possible to make a virtual notification light on the screen?
Like, lighting up a few pixels right beside de notch that blinks like a real notification light.
I've had this idea for a few days, but I don't know how to make it possible.
Thanks

From what I've read, yes we have pixel pulse, but it's not exactly what I mean

That's all we have at the moment, if we will ever have an alternative. Pixel pulse has alot of potential.

Is there a led that a dev can eventually get to work as a notification led? Or is there simply no led built into the phone that will work. This is a very crappy issue for us NS owners that came from the N1, I miss my trackball lighting up from across the room and knowing wether or not it was a txt or an email etc..
Will the NS ever have this? Or is it simply not going to happen?

A) Wrong section.
B) Answered in the stickied FAQ in the right section:

Q: There's no LED Indicator? What are those two circles next to the speaker?
Correct, like all Samsung devices(minus the Epic 4G on Sprint) thus far, there is no LED indicator light. There are apps, such as NoLED, on the marketplace which work great on the Nexus S and provide more or less the same functionality. Those two circles are the Proximity Sensor and Ambient Light sensor.

Not really the wrong forum if it were something that could be developed. It would have been a request for something to be developed. Regardless, I guess we are just stuck without an led light. NO LED blows compared to the trackball on the N1

There's literally nothing to be developed, mate. There is physically no LED light in this phone unless you wanted to open her up and install one yourself.

Yea, that is the unfortunate news i was figuring I would get. So is no led the only app that does this though?
eh ? No leds you say.. What about the buttons ? Im surethat we will have notifications from the buttons in no time.. Relax.. It works on the galaxy so why not here ?

Splitting hairs there, bro.
And yes, I'm sure the.. er.. I'm blanking on the name of the app that will use the buttons as notifications will come around once a custom kernel has been developed to support it.
not sure why we need ANOTHER thread about the LED (or lack of). do a SEARCH!
Closed, as this is answered in the FAQ.

Yeah but that always freaks me out, thinking its going to burn my screen out. I know it probably won't, but I freak out.
Also why would one need an LED light on a tablet?

Why wouldn't you want useful things?
Out of curiosity, which tablets do have notification LEDs? I've tried searching but it's come up vague.
i've yet to see any tablet with an LED.
It's not needed as much on a tablet as on the phone with missed calls and texts.
NoLED should suffice just fine. And NoLED combats burn-in by having an option to move the notification around so it's never using the same pixel for long.
ive had noled on all s1 and s2 and s3 and i have never had any problems with it and now they have themes!!

NoLED is really only for OLED screens, on an IPS it will run your battery bone dry in double time
Notification lights for things like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter
My HP Touchpad has an LED...
Idea, is it not possible to make a costum ROM with a function, "use screen as notification LED"?
I do not mind that there is no LED. I have a U20I thats runs so slow, that any replacement for android gaming is good for me .
My current tablet has capacitive keys and I use backlight notifications, so not having BLN will take a little getting used to.

NoLED has an option to not turn the screen on when the proximity sensor is "close", so you can just keep the tablet face down when it's not on the charger.

You don't need a custom ROM. NoLED will do what you want.
Just watched a review of the z3 compact, and under the display settings there was an Orion for touch 2 wake. Awesome!

How about the notification led that everyone is crying about? Was it a bar or just 1 led?
My z2 tablet has this and it works nicely by only gripe isI'd like to be able to change the tap frequency as it's a little fast for me so I get it wrong on occasions

It is just the LED...that is the only notification...I even punched in the diagnostic code and fired up the notification test, which showed only the LED light at the left corner..
Not a deal breaker though...

I prefer active display rather than any notification LED.
Of course have to await custom ROMs.
But IMO I would prefer no notification light at all.... Therefore the smaller traditional led light would be preferred

Active Display kills battery if it's not using an AMOLED display.
It doesn't kill battery at all on my z1c. Your mistaken there

Have you done a percentage-per-hour battery drain test on Active Display? I've never had a phone without an AMOLED display, but I still can't see how this can be true. An AMOLED display literally only lights up the pixels used for the notification, while an LCD display lights up the whole screen to "render" the black as well as the white. It will definitely use more power. Even if it's not noticeable with your usage patterns, it will likely be noticeable to someone else.
Perhaps.
As a gage.... I get the same battery levels for both LED or active display.
Subsequently active display on my z1c does not drain faster then LED usage.
%/h on PAC ROM for z1c with mosh kernel and mpdecison and active display drains at 2-3%/h
I have the feeling that it takes more battery if T2W is enabled... or did you guys experience something else?

it's a feature of the Snapdragon 801, so i'm assuming that power efficiency with T2W is baked in. i've found that battery life is already ridiculously awesome with T2W on -- if you want to increase battery life, you'll get better results with Stamina Mode and selective whitelisting.

I have tried both alternatives to the lack of one on the 6T. Nice apps ,but just not working out for me .. considering all the posts on the subject, does OP have any plans for a fix/update, @funkwizard? Thanks in advance

I'll be honest, I don't miss the LED notification. It really frees me to not be a slave to the phone. I use Mighty Text on the phone and at least while I'm home, notifications will show up on my laptop. The last few days I've been using their Chrome plugins which adds more notifications to the desktop, but I'm about ready to uninstall that because it can be really annoying.
I miss the LED terribly but haven't had time to look at the software alternatives. I often need to have the phone completely silent/no vibration, and not being able to see what's going on via varicolored strobing LED is a miss. Love the phone otherwise, but I really gotta sort out a solution using ambient display or some such, without killing the battery.

It's a app that lights up the edge of your screen when a notification comes in. It can also light up the Status Bar area if you are in another app.

It's there a Magisk mod to make it persist say every 30 seconds? Or even choose which apps it works with? Having it pulsing overnight because a bit of spam got emailed to me would suck.
