[Q] Anyone have any luck with an LED app? - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried Light Flow but it doesn't work even when I set it up as direct. Does anyone have any luck with any other apps for LED control?

Light Flow works perfectly for me. Did you make sure to enable Notification access and Accessibility service?

Light manager works perfectly

Same. Works better on my Z3C than on any phone I've had.

I forgot to enable it in Accessibility. That did the trick for the most part. It won't overwrite the system LEDs when the screen is on and not locked. So for something like receiving a call it will never work and for something like on the charger it will switch back and forth between the system color and light flow color. Nevertheless, thank you very much.

If your phone is rooted you could try XLED it dose what your looking for

I haven't rooted yet given the issues with unlocking the bootloader at the moment. I'm sitting tight waiting for better ways to root as the phone becomes more available worldwide. Light flow does the trick for now but I'll be sure to check out XLED when I finally get root. Thanks though.

[Q] light flow lite issues

hey guys, im trying to help my mother set up light flow lite on her non-rooted at&t note 3. I have it working perfectly on my rooted gs4, and for the life of me I cant get the leds to work on her note 3. I have the persistent icon on and clicked the option in the security section as the instructions call for it that way in 4.4 as opposed to turning it on in the accessibility section. anyone have a clue as to how to get this to work? thanks in advance
Works on my wife's phone. She's on official kk, she has everything unchecked, except for enable. Also her light flow service is off under accessibility, and is checked in general/ security/ notification access

LightFlow... no root needed
Sendt fra Q XPERIA Z2 D6503
I wanted to use Tasker to disable the charging led at night. But can't seem to figure it out. LightFlow works, but obviously doesn't have the automation flexibility of Tasker.

Try Charging LED, it may work.
Optionally, you can define all batery level colour to pure red (#ffff0000), this is by far the less bright colour and you will no longer be annoyed by the led at night.
yeah i really hate that blinking ..i treid lightflow but that didnt worked at all ...

Lightflow seemed to crash my phone every few days. I'd get a notification and boom - the phone screen would no longer turn on. I'd have to do a red-button reset to reboot the phone.
Lightflow is a no go. Crashes

Use gravity box. it works for stock roms. all you need is a rooted device.
Hit thanks if it helped

Using Light Flow

I purchased Light Flow mainly for a light for missed calls. Others may use it for more. I do have it working properly as should but only way I got it work under Device Root Setting enable Direct Mode.
Did anyone on N6 get it work without Direct Mode? What I want is the led to flash but all it will do stay solid in color.
Sent from mobile...excuse typos!
I don't think anyone has gotten it to blink yet, it will stay solid. I have heard if you receive multiple notifications, it will flash.
I can confirm. It's only blinking when you have multiple notifications each with a different color.
I have issues with this app. Also with all root settings enabled led doesn't work properly. Sometimes it doesn't turn on and sometimes it doesn't turn off (in this case I must open the app to turn it off). I hope Dev will update this app soon.

Any battery drain with the light being on say for 30 min.

I had some issues with Light Flow too. The LED sometimes didn't work. Now i have found a "hidden" setting in the menu. In Accessibility (you have to scroll down) is an option "Light Flow". You have to turn this to on. Now my LED works as it should.
How can i get this to work with the basic standard messenger?
I have sms selected but so far no go. Everything else had worked so far
Didn't know the nexus 6 had working led light.
I didn't get the LED to work for incoming SMS neither. Maybe someone here has an idea how to fix this.

Recently the screen in my N6 always turning on w/o doing nothing

Hi!
As i wrote, the screen just turning on without doing nothing.
I'm not touching...Only move it within my palms and the screen turnes on.
Anyone heard about that?
Your help would be appreciated.
Thank you!
It's called ambient display. Makes your screen turn on when the phone is moved after your screen turns off.
Basicly a replacement for the lack of a led light(talking non rooted non custom rom here)
OR.. it could also be an app, thats turning your screen on. there are many apps that do this, you should read your apps permissions.
Just turned off ambient display.
But...does it mean that now I wont get any notifications during phone at sleep?
Tnx!
Ambient display doesn't use much extra battery, it only illuminates the pixels its displaying and it keep the phone in a low power state.
It is your phone's stock visual notification system, so yes if you turn it off you won't get any visual notifications. If your phone is set to vibrate or make notification noises it will still do that. The phone does have an LED behind the speaker, so if you are rooted you can install something like lightflow to use your phone's LED for notifications instead/as well.

I don't use light flow, but I have heard of many having issues using that app. what I use is s ROM that allows for colored notifications, then I set my colors within the ROMs options. BTW, pure nexus ROM.

oh snap, I just realized this is the same guy who was posting in the lightflow tutorial thread and was told how to do it multiple times.
He does not have "run all commands as root" check in the settings, and insist its not an option. He just needs to go through the settings and enable that like the popup window when you first launch light flow tells you.
You gotta look through your settings man. I don't know what else to tell you, I don't use that app anymore but I have. And unless you go through all the options in the settings menu... The app isn't going to be able to write to the kernels file system to turn the light on.
Maybe I'll just flash the pure nexus ROM.
I just dont get how to use this App.
Tnx!
I don't want to sound mean but if you Cant figure an app out I don't think you should be flashing ROMs

You click settings.... Your looking for something to do with running commands as root.
Did you check under the "device settings and root" menu?
Does he even have the paid version of light flow?

He said in another thread that he bought it... but that doesn't matter. I don't and I used it via the options I stated to have LED notification for basic stuff.
I have a question regarding ambient display. I know how it works and all that stuff, however, how many time the phone wakes up with the black/white screen? Because mine gets a notification, it shows it to me then without doing nothing it shows the notification again and again, every minute I guess for a long time. Is this normal?
Yes thats normal. Just like a notification LED will stay on, Ambient Display will show every now and again until you acknowledge the notification in case you missed it. Again, it uses almost no battery to do this, I have used the phone with it on and with it off and never really notice a difference.

'Run every command as root' is on.
Let's see if it would work now.

Letting u know that for some reasson i dono - it still just dont work.
Super wierd.

Enable Notification LED?

I've seen that it is possible to use the physical LED on the device for notifications if your device is rooted, but I have not had any success in getting it set up properly.
The closest I have gotten was an app called Moto LED Enabler, which worked at turning the led on when I got a notification, but it wouldn't turn back OFF when I cleared the notification.
I'm wondering if anyone has gotten this working perfectly and what app are you using?

Camera flash is WAY too bright, in my opinion. It's the kind of thing that pretty much would force me to interact with the phone just to turn it off. While with the smaller led, I can just see that its on, but I don't have to do anything about it if I don't want to.
Moto LED enabler works fine for me... Are you rooted via magisk??
The app constantly asks for Superuser rights to turn the led on and off.. So, check if your SU app is having issues maybe..

I'm trying it again, but behavior is same as before. Once it comes on, the only way I can make it turn off is by playing with the brightness control in the Moto Led Enabler app. I granted full access when it asked for root, doesn't seem to be any issue there. And its just doing weird stuff, like it suddenly turned on when I ended a phone call, despite no notification even popping up.

It kinda works for a little time, and then it crashes. Constantly there's a message popping up saying that moto led enabler has stopepd working. What exactly do you do to make it work?
---edit---
To stop it from crashing every five minutes all I had to do was open the app and fiddle witht the brightness slider and voilá, working like a charm.
