Anyone else having trouble with their trackball light not working on non-google apps?
non google apps? as in some 3rd party chat client or something?
if so then it depends on the app if it features the trackball light..

i'm not getting the notification sound for emails, either?
edit: relating to the thread topic, trackball light for sms popup isn't going off like it was with froyo. unrooted stock here.

Well it would be like for chompSMS or SMS Popup, it just wouldn't work.
Same with me, i think Google disabled the trackball light in 2.3.
More likely that the app devs just need to update their apps to work better with GB.
Mine seems to have stopped working altogether.
ya.. now mine is gone too..
edit: I just reinstalled sms popup.. and now everything works just like it was..
idk what's happening.!

I agree, I think the developers of certains apps just haven't updated to gingerbread yet, including Blink.
I've also noticed the flashlight widgets/apps don't work now either
Edit: oh, I'm also stock. Will this finally be the thing that forces me to root? Nah, I'm too big of a wuss (and lazy
Found a solution. Look for "Light Flow" in the Market, works like a charm.
I d/l the free app and it covers a lot, the paid app ($1 ish) allows even more (social apps, etc.).

The "Torch" flashlight widget works fine for me.
Been using Light Flow app for a week for trackball alerts with no issues, but you want the latest market version for GB.

Same.
The LED would blink on boot so I knew it wasn't the LED.
I restored and now my notifications blink repeatedly only if the screen is off. Once I turn my screen on (doesn't matter is I unlock the phone or not, dismiss the notification or not- literally just turn the screen on) the notification LED stops blinking. If my phone screen was on when I get the notification, the LED doesn't blink at all...
Ideas? Solutions?
Anyone have any idea how to use this? When I select this mode, I get the pop up window that explains what it is and the message at the bottom to align the circle with the pointer, but the screen shows a blue dot inside the white circle no matter where I'm pointing, which orientation I'm holding the phone and there's no option to activate the camera....it's grayed out, and the settings are for the video only. I can tap on the video button, but then it just records video.
Anyone have any idea how to actually use this mode?
Follow the information on the screen. It'll tell you what to do. The dot will be your focal point and the Circle will eventually pop up. You'll need to go either left or right or straight.

The circle doesn't do anything. I have it pointing down a hall way and nothing happens. ..
once you start panning or moving forward a new circle shows up, you just match the dot to the new circle, very simple
Is it supposed to automatically just detect the "scene" and start? Are there some other settings that, when activated, disable this functionality? Do you have to activate the first shot by hitting the camera button (because if so, mine doesn't let me tap on it).

I swear I tried that! I started walking down the hallway, and there are doors visible that are open along the hallway, and NOTHING happens... :crying::crying::crying: I WANT THIS FEATURE TO WORK! LOL
Here, watch a video of me TRYING to get it to work....any ideas? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/105678/MOV_0040.mp4
Ok, after 30 mins with Samsung tech support and then booting up into Safe Mode, we determined that there's some 3rd party app that may be inhibiting the VT Shot function, because it DID work in Safe Mode. I even uninstalled the google camera app.....Although that didn't seem to be the issue.....with this in mind, and knowing that this phone is not rooted, what's the best approach to help identify which app could be the culprit here? I don't want to wholesale factory reset and slowly add one app at a time....any ideas?

SOLVED! I FIGURED OUT THE CULPRIT! On my old S4, I was using the app "Moves" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.protogeo.moves) which was a Pedometer app. But now that S Health is so integrated with the phone, I actually don't need it, so when I removed it, Virtual Tour Shot cam mode started working. Makes sense that the app would interfere with the motion sensor.....

i bet you feel soooooooo relieved. its one of the best feelings in the world to go through meticulous trial and error and finally find the problem. congrats i really know how you feel haha
For sure! Especially because this is my first Android device which I have NOT rooted (victim of circumstance, not elective), so I knew it wasn't because of some weird rooted circumventing process. On the plus side, with s health's built-in pedometer setting, there's no need for Moves anymore.

OK !!!
"Moves" removed and it's working !!! :good:
Thanks
Is it possible?
I don't see any easy way to see what new notifications you may have when they come in without actually unlocking the device.
Thanks
I´m using NILS for that, and I´m very happy with this app.
Disable ALL (android) Notifications for the lockscreen in settings, and allow NILS to do that...for me it works very well.
Screen can Wake up, if you want...or not...if you like it.
I've been using WON - Wake On Notification, which is doing exactly what it says. When I get a new notification it wakes up the phone to lockscreen, and it has blacklist (specific app ignore) functionality. Works perfectly!

Where you find that? Not found on play store. Google search shows a play store link for it, but just goes to "item not found"

Yeah, you're right. That's strange, I only just installed it a week ago. That said, you can point APK Pure at the app in order to get the APK here: https://apkpure.com/won-wake-on-notification/com.silverfinger.wake
I use Glimpse Notifications; it uses the standard lockscreen and merely wakes the device to show you the lockscreen when something comes in.
It has a lot of extra features for blacklisting certain apps, quiet times, pocket detection, wake when lifted, etc.
And it is totally free, genuinely.
Hello,
Has anyone figured out how to get Edge Lighting and the bubble notification at the top to work with the Android Messages app? It worked fine with the stock Samsung Messages app, but I cannot get it to work with the Android messages app. I changed the setting within Edge Lighting to be enabled and have the Android Messages notification set to urgent, but still no luck.
Appreciate any help!
Thanks
From my experience not all the apps are edge lighting compatible, including gmail, youtube and many other applications... I can not tell you why but I think it has to do with how each app send notifications.
Maybe smarter people can give you more technical explanations ?
Works fine for me, although I use textra as my messaging app. I have Google messages and occasionally switch back to it, but wanted to test it for you
I can't upload a photo now for some reason

Maybe this will work

Thanks for your reply. I just tried some tests and it seems that the edge lighting works when my screen is on and I receive a text. But it does not work when my "Always On Display" is on. Do you notice that as well?
I have the Verizon version and also use Textra as my SMS app. I just sent a text from the wife's Note 9 and with mine on the AOD, I saw the small popup at the top and she lighting lit up. I tried to grab a screenshot, but apparently doesn't work on AOD.

my edge lighting has the option to work with screen off or on or both..did you check that?
Thank you both for the feedback. I have the setting set to Always (aka both with Screen On or Off) but it does not work with the screen off (AOD).

I wonder what the difference is...crazy
I am having the same issue. Didn't work when screen is off. With or without AOD, it doesn't work at all. Only on screen on I see it no problem.

Glad to know it's not just me. Perhaps this is something that Google can fix with an update? I submitted feedback via the app.
Is edge lighting working for anyone? I've turned it on, ensured transparency is low, thickest border, set to always. Nothing. With or without Aod, which I use, but still want edge lighting until we get the camera cutout led.
Umm how can there be edge lighting on the s10e when it doesn't have a curved screen?

I can't get edge lighting to work at all, it only works for Samsung Messaging. Other apps for it to work, the screen has to be on so it's useless. This was the worst decision ever to get rid of the LED light.
Same problem, tried the guide from reddit but still no luck. It works on Viber but doesn't work on WhatsApp.

Yeah I've found it does work for texts so it's just WhatsApp that's not working for me.
On playing with the notification settings in WhatsApp it did work when I enable 'pop ups' which are unsightly so looks like a bug..?

Edge lighting + still only works on stock messaging app for me (using pulse). I've set the notification reminder to 3 min for calls and messages and that along with always on display is working pretty good in terms of not missing texts. Still looking forward to front cam ring led light though. They better not be teasing with that update lol.

You need to go to "manage notifications" in the edge lighting settings. You can turn on or off any app you want.
Is that in theory or does it actually work for you? I haven't heard of it working for anybody (for most apps) since 9
NOT working on S10. Had Samsung rep at Best Buy mess with it. He fixed it while I was in the store, but after I left and customized the color, NOT working again!! So annoying!!
He told me he cleared cache and force closed edge lighting app, but I can't find it!!
HELP!!
On my S10e it only works with Hangouts when the screen is turned on, which is pretty much useless. GMail, WhatsApp & Telegram not working at all.
Downloaded and trying it out.
Can confirm as well that it isn't working on S10+
