LED Notification

Does optimus 4x has led notification light?

No, the O4X doesn't have it.

And the app 'LG Notifications' doesn't seem to work for 4X yet. It worked fine on my 2X.
This app flashes the light in the buttons whenever there are new e-mail, SMS, missed calls and so on.
Great app, and hopefully they will get it working on the 4X soon.

didn't found anything about front-button-led notifications in settings..
all i found, is to turn on/off light on buttons, and timeout for them.

I am very sad, because the best device in the world (4X HD) does not have the LED, please we want a solution for that.
Good Software AND Hardware AND IPS WOW.

I think we(somebody) can use(make a rom) to bring the front button for led notification.

the button's have led's, then there must be a way to use them for notifications

Unfortunately no program of the market, active touch LED notification!

Install the app NoLed, it is very useful and works on 4X perfectly. Different kind of customization to suit your lifestyle, e.g. icon, color of led, time to turn on/off led. It saves you trouble to press the Power button to check whether there is email, SMS, missed call,..............in. case you miss the sound notifications.
There are also other features to save battery - notification timeout, dismiss with proximity sensor (dismiss notifications when phone is in pocket or upside down), etc.

Yep, nice app !

I installed this, but I don't get it! Surely you have to wake your screen up to see what you've missed? How is that different from what the lock screen shows you?
(Those apps that light the soft-keys look great, if you could individually light them, one for calls, one for messages, one for emails (Not sure if the phone could even light them one by one)

It works on my 4X perfectly, I even tried to add the Time yesterday and it pops up with the notification. No need to wake your screen up, that's the idea of NoLed! Look up the setting to see what you missed.
BTW, you can let the Time light up constantly but surely it will drain out your battery very fast.

Light flow... Does it work?

Anybody tried light flow yet?

Works like a sharm! No root necessary. The new notification light is much better then the speaker built in thing from the z1c.

Tested "Light Manager" and that works, too.

Can't seem to change the charging led though

Yup, I have the paid for version of Light Flow setup and working perfectly!

I just tested and i can't get light flow to change the charging LED. It doesn't even turn off if you disable the notification light in Androids DIsplay settings.

To bad. It's keeping me awake at night and really holding me from buying a dock.

I've been able to sort of fix this using Light Manager. I select a really dark color (almost black) for both charging and fully charged set it to be always on (no blinking).
It's kinda finicky, though, and sometimes it takes a few moments until it LM takes over from the built in notification light. For me, Light Manager works better than Light Flow. YMMV, it's possible to do this with both of them.

Just wanted to say that I have done this with Light Flow and it works great. It still shows the default charging colours when the screen is on, but when it's off it uses the ones in light flow. The trick is to use anything but totally black. I set it with the HEX code to FF000001 and it works.
That is on a full-size Z3 but I can't imagine the hardware is different regarding LEDs.

I use light manager and it does work with a dark colour to set the charging/charged led colour. (dark blue)
BUT
When I use sleep mode (so I get to notification lights) the charging/charged trick doesn't work ....
So I have to dissable sleep mode
anyone has a solution for this?

Lightflow doesn't seem to work for me neither.
Is there any other option without rooting the device (no option, as it's for the device of my girlfriend)

Works perfectly for me. Keep trying. Make sure it's enabled in settings security notification access.

Hmmmm very good point. Thx for the advice. I think I activated this after the installation of Light Flow. I remember some red info message bugging me But to be honest I can't find this setting anymore. Where can I reconfigure/ review this?

Ahh Thx But this doesn't seem to be the problem. Checkbox for Lightflow is checked there.
Will keep trying to get it working.
Thanks a lot for the help so far.

Light flow works like a charm for me and love how I set colour per notification type it's the only app that works 100%

[Q] disabling notifications

Hi,
I have the phone charging next to me overnight and the bright lights are really annoying. I have setup Light Flow to dim the charging LED but cant get it's sleep mode to work correctly so that notifications don't make the led bright and flashing again (I have it enabled for a certain time period and set the light/LED to disabled).
I have also tried using an app called "Do Not Disturb" which allows you to stop Mobile Data and Wifi over it's sleep period to stop the notifications from turning up but that doesn't seem to stop them properly and they still show up (along with their very bright flashing light).
So, has anyone had any luck getting these apps to work or do you have an alternative that does these jobs successfully for you?

I already invested a lot of time in finding a proper solution for the Z3, but maybe here someone found a solution in the meantime?
(I can't root the device, as it's the device of my girl friend)
Thanks for any help.

I use tasker to shut down sync and mobile connections when charging. Without root there is no solution so far. You can turn of light notifications, but battery/charging notifications stay active and have priority above Lightflow settings.

Within Light Flow, make sure the charging/charged lights have priority above all other notifications and you should be set.
I, too, use Tasker to disable data at night, but sometimes some notification comes along anyway (like a birthday reminder or something). However, thanks to Light Flow suppressing other notifications than the charge related ones, I don't get blinded at night anymore.
Previously, I used Light Manager for the same job, but for me, LM couldn't really handle those other notifications, and instead started to switch between blinking the colour of the notification and the dimmed charge light.

Notification LED

There used to be an option to turn off the notification LED on blocking mode so that it didn't light up your room while sleeping. It appears that is no longer an option. Does anyone know of a solution to be able to disable the LED for specific hours each day? I tried Lightflow, but had some issues with it and there was not an option to set specific hours. Thanks in advance!

I don't think the LED is that bright to "light up your room".....
If it bugs you that much, turn it face down, or put something over the LED to cover just that one part of the phone.

LOL! Easy fix. Cut her eyes out. Then ask her which did she like more, the ability to see or not? I'm sure she will say sight, but then you give her the bad news that you can't fix her blindness due to you not being a doctor (unless you are, then operate).
To fix your problem though, try Settings > Accessibility > Notification Reminder > LED Indicator
Hope that works.

Have you tried "do not disturb" in your toggle buttons? Says it'll silence calls & notifications, not sure if it will disable led. Ultra power saving mode might also disable led.

I have tried do not disturb and it does not turn off the LED for me. I have not tried ultra power saving mode. I am, however, hoping for something more automated based on time. Thanks for the response.

Wow...that escalated quickly :-0
Thank you for the recommendation, but I actually want the LED on during the day and just off at night. It was a setting on my previous Samsung devices...just appears to be another thing removed, for some reason

Guess the Do Not Disturb option is your only bet. Hopefully it works.

try sleep for android...it has a feature of Do not disturb whenever you have sleep tracking on. So when you sleep just set that as an alarm and it will put the phone to do not disturb

I know you said you had problems with lightflow app but have you tried the light manager app? Works really well for me since they did the fix for 5.1.1.

Yes this would be nice. Do not disturb i would think would turn led off but it doesnt. If u find a solution please post it. Not like its really important to me but it would be nice.

No LED light flashing for notifications

I got my R1 HD recently. After I set up everything I noticed that when the screen is off, no matter whether I received an email, a sms or a missed call, the LED light just didn't flash. The phone did notify by sound and I can see items in status bar when I turn on the screen.
I looked at everything in the Settings, but couldn't find anything wrong. I called R1 representative and he said he never heard such issue before.
Then I ordered a replacement from Amazon and it arrived today. You know what, same thing happened! No LED light for notification. Just sound notification.
The only time I know there is an LED light is when I charge the phone (red) or when it's fully charged (green).
Has anyone seen such issue before? I greatly appreciate the help!

The LED can really only display red and green as when they are both on the red greatly overpowers the green so the color combination is not detectable. Lightflow can control which apps have access to the LED and which color to display. The LEDs are either on or off - no brightness levels. I have also not been able to get the LED to blink on notifications and suspect that this is also a hardware limitation of the phone. I've been quite disappointed in the LED notification capabilities. There are a couple of other threads about the notification light in the Blu forums here if you search

Thanks for the reply! I did try Lightflow, but it didn't help. In test mode or real mode, what I got was just a status bar notification, no LED.

I did have to change some settings for it to work with the Blu phone.
These are the settings I am using that allow apps to turn on the LED:
Under General settings, the following are checked:
Enable Light Flow
Show LED in priority mode
Device Admin
Enable Clear all
Accessibility check
Version upgrade reminder
Under Device settings and root, the following are checked:
Direct mode
Root mode
Run every command as root
Show LED with screen on
Nexus 5 force LED reset
I also have light flow enabled under settings->accessability and lightflow has root permission in supersu.

Oh so I have to root the phone? I just called Blu customer service, and they told me I need to do a factory reset..

Try it and let us know what happens, please. Some phones require root and others don't. I reflashed and rooted and xposed mine before I did anything else so I don't know if it works without root or not.

Solved! Did a hard reset (not factory data reset thru Settings) by pressing power button and volume up together to enter the recovery menu. I cannot believe Amazon/Blu missed such an important step that the customer has to do it by themselves..

Same here bit in a Blu vivo 5R in this case.
So... I need to execute a Factory Reset? And then appears the option for LED notification And works.

Hi ! I did buy a BLU VIVO XL2. No LED activity for notifications. I have the options for LED behavior (Settings/Advanced Settings/Under Hardware title, LED indicator, Notification Reminder ON but green LED never flashes when expected. Factory Reset tried: I used Volume Up & Power Button to get recovery menu. There, I took a backup (SD storage, no compression, several chunks of data). After that, I selected Factory Reset. When rebooted, Google did his automatic restore of phone. After that, I tried Restore from Recovery menu, but a msg informed backup was corrupted, so, I did get a full Factory Reset status, with my phone memory user data lost. NO LED Notifications working after all these actions !!!!! . LED is alive, when reporting Power status, so it is not HW damaged. I will keep fighting to get my LED notification activity working... Regards, Norberto !!!

Try the free version of LightFlow from the play store. It will allow you to test and turn individual notifications on or off. The light can on display red and green colors and the red is very much brighter than the green. Mine turns flashing red when I miss a phone call on the Blu R1 HD>

Hi !! Thnx yaconsult. I did try free & legacy, unsuccessfully. Have a good day !!

I guess the Vivo works differently, then. The notification light works ok on my R1. If I miss a call, I get a blinking red light.
