Light flow not working properly?

I was dissapointed that not every app can let you choose the color for the notification led, specially Google apps, they all should have the option, I downloaded light flow, but I fins its behaviour erratic, I disabled the led for when its charging for example but sometimes it still flashes it, actually it doesn't flash the led, it stays turned on forever if I don't open the lift flow app, sometimes it stays in forever on too when I have a new message, I even delete the notification and check the message but the led won't turn off does anyone else has issues with it?
Can you recommend a better app?

Works fine for me. A notification will get "stuck" maybe once every few weeks. Other then that it works fine.

LightFlow works absolutley fine for me.
I had something that i mistook for "Phantom-Notifications". The LED was flashing without any notification in my notification-bar.
But i realised, that i have my gmail-app set to only remind me for mails in my priority inbox while lightflow was also notifying me for the normal inbox.
Maybe it is something similar on your phone.

To get my lightflow to work properly i had to go into the general settings and under main led control select 'control - lightflow controls the led' and this seemed to cure a lot of random/erratic flashes.

Where? Under general settings there's no led setting, all I was able to do was tick or untick pulse notification light under "display "

Yes under general settings, if you scroll to the bottom there is an option called 'main led control' and when i tap that it gives me 2 options, first is 'no control - default device behaviour' and the second (which i use to fix issues) is 'control - light flow controls the led'. I hope that helps you find it I do have the paid version however so if you are using the lite version i dont know if the option is there.

Sometimes I'll get no LED notifications until I manually open Light Flow, then it starts working. Kind of annoying. Is there any way to always keep it in memory?

I had issues to. But there is a setting to clear the notification when you pull down the notification bar. This works best for me. You have to do this for each app though.
Also while charging I put it so that the newest notification would turn on. That way there is no cycling etc.
U have the paid version if you have any other questions let me know.

Found it but it was in the light flow settings, I thought you were referring to the nexus main menu, I already had "lightflow controls the led " enabled

General Settings of Lightflow itself. I think you are looking at the Settings of the phone

Again in light flow settings there is a tick box to run in foreground, that might help and if you use any kind of task killer make sure you add it to the exclude list
As for OP im not sure what else you can do to make it more reliable, the lightflow control worked great for me. Sorry i cant help any further

I always have that box ticked, but usually have to start the app after rebooting anyway. I didn't know people still used task killers lol.

You're exactly like me, I have the run in background option ticked, what I ended up doing is starting the app every time I turn on the phone (I turn it off every night ) this makes the app behave better, its like it doesn't start correctly by itself

Light flow has caused many problems, it has this glitch upon boot where it makes my screen flash green static for an instant.

Notifiction LED

Anyone found a working app to trigger events for the notification LED?
BLINK seems to work, but doesn't support gmail, gtalk, etc and crashes sometimes
LightFlow - Lite did not work
LED me know BETA didn't work
To test your LED, LED Disco works quite well (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coolbeans.leddisco&feature=search_result)

Liteflow works perfect for me
That good I'm going to purchase the full version, as I'm missing Facebook notifications.

You have to activate it in "Settings" - "Eingabehilfe" (I think its called "input" in system section menu beneath date & clock ).
Otherwise it won't work

Turn on Settings > accessibility > Light flow

Just go to settings/accessibility on your phone and disable LiteFlow
LiteFlow will still works but you won't have this annoying voice anymore

Yeah... what does it do to help?

can't seem to get light flow to work either, not even the test.

For anyone getting the voice notification for opening and closing folders, it seems to be a problem with the TouchWiz interface. I changed over to Go Launcher and no longer get the voice. Just went back to Touchiz for a test and the voice is back.

I have the same issue -
I have disabled LightFlow from accesibility - and now there is NO LED light and no nagging voice (while opening/closing the folder)
If i enable the LightFlow from accesibility - LED starts working and so does the nagging voice !!!
So for now we HAVE to use the lightflow with the painfully nagging voice !
Anyone has any solution to the problem ?

I just try with lightflow enabled in accessibility service and there is no nagging voice comming from my phone...

thanks, you guys are right. LightFLow does work. The only thing I didn't get to work right now are the two white LEDs at the bottom. (I could use those with LightFlow on my Defy without BLN-mod)
But that isn't that important as the Notification LED is quite noticable

Solution to "the folder is open"
I found a temporary solution to the nagging voice.
Disable Samsung TTS and Google Text-To-Speech engine.
this will disable text to speech in all apps that use one of these two, so if your using an application that uses one of those, your out of luck.
I tested S voice and it appears to not use any of them.

[Q] LED customization app/Mod

I am wanting an app, that can customise teh colour of the LED for different notifications as well as turn them off when im asleep. I have seen an app called lightflow, is this the best app for the job?

I use lightflow and for me its perfect!

Nice
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

LightFlow is the best app ever!
You can set led color, frequency, speed, vibration and many more for every apps, for all notifications you need.
Buy PRO version because FREE version don't allow you to use LightFlow for every app, but it works only with a little number of apps...

Does anyone get the issue when using lightflow where the phone speaks to you??. Even if you disable all notifications on the accessibility screen, you still get the voice speaking.
Theres a big thread over on the lightflow devs website...seems like its a bug with ICS.
SAdly i bought it but have uninstalled it as it wont work unless you turn your sound off and personally i dont like my phone talking to me lol.

Yes!!! It took me forever to figure out why it would say Folder is open or Folder is closed, anytime I would open a folder on the home screen.

its a well know bug, coder is working to fix it

Unfortunately I was having problems with lightflow; sometimes the LED notification was not stopping regardless of what I did, until a reboot. The talk back thing I got rid of by not having accessibility checked within the phone settings. Sometimes the LED want activating either.
Most promising looking app though.

I also bought the pro. But I get the same issues with the led not stopping blinking. If I swipe a notification to get rid of it and don't actually view it the led just keeps on flashing. I think you press the clear button it works, but as a whole there needs to be some improvements in this app before I use it, all I really wanted was to turn off the led at night! It wakes me up. Too bright ha

Yeah, pressing clear, or entering the app and viewing the message doesn't clear the led for me. The only thing that works is rebooting. But I'm going back to handcent for my messaging and since the pro version supports it I've purchased it too. I just love having the led's for at work, where I sometimes can't hear my phone, but they have to be off at night. I can't believe that a little flashing light can be so annoying at night!

At night you can enable the "sleep setting" under settings, than it wont blink.
Go to Notifications/*AppName*/Clear notification style and select "Screen on", than it will stop blinking after you turned on the screen.
Sorry for my bad english, hope you understand me

Sigh, for some reason this app doesn't work on my SGH-I747. I mean it does work but it doesn't show up the right colors that I've set up. For example: I choose the missed calls' color as red, but it shows up as blue and the rest are messed up too. Does anyone have the same problem?

The talking phone is very annoying, and i also experience the big orange square when you click on browser that mess my surfing xperience. I hope im not the only one

[Q] Where the heck is the vibration option?

Having an issue with go sms pro which i'm sure some have had before; there is no vibration with notifications.
Now this is being caused because for some odd reason, system vibration is turned off, or so go sms says. There is no option in ANYWHERE to enable vibration in stock TW. I was able to fix this problem with my s3 by downloading a program called audiomanager, and setting it from within there, but as of new versions of this program, there doesn't seem to be an option for it in the free version.
So i come to you in a time of need. How in the world do i enable system vibration?! :crying:

Saw this on the tmobile website. Hope it helps:

If you go into messages>menu>settings>scroll down to notifications setting and make sure vibrate is checked...... The phone will vibrate even when you are in sound mode. I cant figure out how to make it vibrate only in vibrate mode for messages. Hope this helps!!!

I assume you're talking about default messaging app, and it only works for itself. If i want to use another app like go sms, i'd need to uncheck notifications in that little area, also disabling vibration.
There is a master setting that needs to be enabled for it to work in go sms, but it's no where to be found.

Did you check under setting>my device>sound>vibration intensity ?

Gonna revive this old thread for anyone who is interested in this fix.
I've tried everything in this thread and nothing worked. I decided to go to the play store and search "system settings" in hopes that someone might have made an extended settings app for this reason. I came across an app called "Smart Settings". This app allows you to create custom profiles that have an on/off toggle for notification vibration; something current touchwiz versions, if not all android versions lack. All you need to do is create a custom profile with notification vibration set to on, enable, then uninstall. There's no other app or system option that will allow you to toggle the master notification vibration setting, so 3rd party apps like gosms will work flawlessly. Switching between built in vibrate only and sound on profiles do not effect the master system vibration option.
I hope this helps anyone with this issue. It was a pain in the ass to find something that actually worked.

Success! Thanks so much, there was an app I had used ages ago that did the same thing but then they made it pro only. I didn't uninstall but froze through Titanium Backup so it's there when I get flash happy and need to restore the vibrate. Now I won't miss all my damn texts.

Glad this helped at least one person out.

LIght Flow on LG G4

Is anyone using Light Flow with the LG G4 to control the LED? If you are can you please list the step to get it working the way you want it.

Turn off all the led options in the phones settings except the bottom "downloaded apps" option.

It's the only way to get it to work. I had many emails with the dev in the last 24hours and you need to uncheck all options BUT "downloaded apps" in the stock notifications setting and it will work.
The other issue is that you might not be able to select "always on" as an option for the LED flash rate and actually have it stay on. So, instead, you have to set a custom time with say something like 50000,10 and then the LED will stop blinking. I have 2 notifications - charging and charged - when plugged in the LED would blink rapidly the colors I set no matter what I selected for LED flash rate time. Setting the custom length resolved that.

Excellent, I'm glad it did.

I have it working very well now after toying with a lot of settings and doing a lot testing & debugging/logging with the dev.
What we did find out through the tests is that - at least on the USA version with Verizon - it will not notify you if you have a Voice Mail or Visual Voice Mail (I use) and that it turns out, LG made it's own "voice mail" app - whereas in the past Verizon had their own voice mail or visual voice mail app. So, his next release addresses this new LG Voice Mail specific app because the 2 we have on the Verizon phone ( "Voice Mail" and "Voicemail Notification Monitoring") will not trigger a Lightflow notification as they are new LG specific app.

No. We did not try to address that further given the custom number value solves that - which is why that function even exists. So, I - and I am sure he - looks at that as a low priority issue as that method works. However, once the VM/VVM issue gets resolved, I will ask him if there is a way to see how to get that working so no custom value is needed and so "always on" does it's job of being "always on".
