Hi
When the phone is in standby it flashes the left LED to show connection with the network. The manual states:
"Shows Green and Amber lights for HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/GSM/GPRS standby, message, and network status as well as for notification and battery charging status. Shows a flashing red light when the battery level reaches 5% or lower."
But doesn't state what colour is shown for what and I've only seen a flashing green LED. The description is a joke in the manual as it doesn't really tell you anything, and I have searched the PDF version for LED and found no other information dry.gif
I want to be able to see I have had a text message/voice message left without having to turn the display on, how do we do this?
Regards
Phil
Well based on the Wizard the led on the right that normally flashes green will flash orange if you have a txt or missed phone call.
Hi
If it does it doesn't look that much different in colour to be really obvious, not to my eyes anyway.
Can we change the colours, perhaps through a registry setting?
Regards
Phil
Hi
I've resolved this to my liking with a small application I've written, it's free for anyone else who wants some control of the way the notifications are flashed on the Kaiser.

Great little app Phil. I use my phone as a pager so its nice not to have to turn it on to see if you missed a message.
It looks awesome! Installing it now. Thx!

hi,
Great tool!, but ehh it doesnt work on my Dutch version TyTn2.
AMBER colour doesnt seem to work.
So does this mean your tool is made for an English version?
Amber doesn't seem to work for me either and I'm on the English version.

I tried the app on my AT&T Tilt and while the LEDs perorm according to the app, I found that the app caused my speakerphone to engage on every call I placed. I deleted the app and no more speakerphone problem.
strange...on my tilt it didn't work. I could change the power color but couldn't get the right side light (bluetooth side) to do anything
Is anyone interested in this program/functionality enough to continue developing it? I'd really like to see the ability to set missed SMS to the red LED like missed calls. I'd also like to see the solid LED function working again during charging. I'm not sure if the original author is still developing this program but it has a lot of potential. Thanks.

Hi,
I am very interested in this functionality. I am actually slightley colorblind and it is impossible for me to see the difference between the red, amber and green LED, because it is so small and just flashing up for a very short time.
I wish I could use the blue LED for missed incoming calls or a faster blinking frequency would be great.
Regards,
JTGBDR
yes indeed
I want to change the blinking speed of the amber light when an incoming sms is received or missed call..
I had this on my mio a701, so handy
Now its almost 3 sec to see if you have an missed sms , its too long...
Issnt there a simple reg hack to increase the interval?

I Already asked in this board for an redevelopment of this app... the idea is genious, but the original developer, doens't seem to continue his work....
So it would be really nice, if someone could code it properly.. the current app has some matrue issues and is in my opinion not really usable.

The original developer is continuing to work on this app, infact he is nearing completion of the next version. See post 40

Oh I'm sorry, there was an other thread I looked at, which was no replay since weeks... but the intresting thin is if he can fix the thing with the correct leds during charge.
Can someone post a video of the notification led blinking? Or at least tell me if it is a typical worthless pinhead HTC led? The leds on HTC phones usually suck

It is indeed a tiny full-color LED; it's also the same LED that the phone uses to let you know when it's charging, low-battery, or completely charged. It defaults to being turned off for Android notifications, but it's simple to turn it on.

From the App Store: HTC phones usually require "root." But I'll give it a shot and report back.

LiteFlow Lite doesn't work. I made sure all of the settings were correctly checked and I've used the app before. I'm thinking that we'll either need root or CM/AOSP/AOKP before we can modify it. On a side note, it really is a nice LED. Just a little pin-sized light. Blinking green for a notification in the upper right hand corner. It stays red while charging and does not blink, even if you have a notification waiting to be seen.

I love notification lights. The problem when you can't use light flow is that most stock phones do not include a quiet hours option to turn automatically turn the led off at night.

Could someone that is rooted test to see if light flow works when "root mode" is enabled in light flow? Would love to have the notification light blink longer than the default 5 minutes that HTC sets. Would also love quiet hours.

Just tested it with root (I had also tested it before rooting). It was making my led do all kinds of crazy crap. It was blinking erratically, rather than the calm, normal pulse PLUS it would not accept any of the color changes for the other types of notifications. It would not do the tests either. I changed all of the settings around and nothing seemed to matter. So I would call this a big, fat FAIL. Is there another app out there that is known to play nicely with HTC phones?

that stinks. I'm not aware of any others. I had an HTC one s for awhile and never could get its led to pay nice with light flow. Oh well.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
I tried a few different apps that all failed in the same way. No color changes and totally erratic blinking. I am rooted and it didn't help one bit.
I got Lightflow working but this phone only allows Green, Orange and Deep Orange as choices so you have to change the notifications you want to use to use those colors or it doesn't do anything. It is working fine now but it is missing the blinking options that my Nexus 4 had which is a bummer. I have it set so only texts, Facebook messages, and google talk chats use the lights.

How did you get it to work? Root phone and then enable direct mode and root mode within the light flow app, or is there more to it than that?

I enabled root and direct modes within the app and enabled the LED in Screen settings in the Settings app and then I manually went into the notifications I wanted to enable and chose the color I wanted to use again. It was working fine but with such limited color options it seemed kind of pointless to me especially since I use a Sony Smartwatch so I'm getting all of the notifications there already.
I think I stumbled across the solution to this today:
Settings > Display > LED Active
Seems to work!
Yes it works. I take green Led in whatsapp and it works...

so... I've had my N6 for about month and a half and last week decided to root, weird thing was, I DID NOT KNOW that there was a LED light on it ... while using stock, the LED light did not come on at all and only when i installed CM12 that i seen the light.
I want to go back to stock but i want the LED light for notifications. has anybody encountered this problem? how do i fix it ?
Stock does not support LED.
For me this is not an issue, why would I want an LED always flashing to show me I have notifications.
Went through the trouble of installing CM12 and you want stock?
Unless something was missing in CM12 like flaky bluetooth I would stick with custom ROMs

You don't want the light but i do ... preferences ...
installing wasn't trouble at all, my problem is that i feel like cm12 needs to get better and less buggy, the rom just started coming out so I wanna wait until most bugs are fixed, I was enjoying stock for a while, just wanted to test out cm12 to see where it was and for the way I like it, it's not ready.

Yes it does require root and you need the paid version of the app. I cannot believe the N6 didn't come stock with led notifications and double tap to wake. Beside the washed out/ way over saturated screen, I think I might return mine to ATT before my 2 weeks are over
Can't complain... Its huge but I kinda like it
Yes I was shocked at the light too.
Definitely should be enabled out of the gate.
Unlike the TINY one behind the HTC speaker grille with very limited viewing angle this one is bright and actually better IMO than Samsung's.

One thing to note is that for now with Light Flow the only colors for the LED are red green or blue. Or if you manually change the color with the built in light flow mixer you can make strange combinations with the top half of the LED being one color and the bottom half another.
So I bought the LED flip cover for my S7 Edge (EF-NG935). Although its a really good quality case I have issues with its software. The LED's on the case display the time, receiving a call or a text and afterwards it goes dark. There is no way for me to see if I have a notification on my phone. Usually the phone LED would flash slowly notifying me to check my phone. Other than that the Flip cover LED does not notify me for any general notification (viber,facebook etc). Not even when i receive a message on them. So there is no way for me to see that i just received a message or that I had received a message. Other than that it doesn't display music bars when music is playing or the volume.
What it would be excellent is that the LED's should be always on (hence low consumption). In case of a notification it should display the icon of the app that I got a notification from. The LEDs are quite a lot so its easy to figure out what app send the notification. The case costed 70 Euros which are quite a lot. There should be a customization software or something. Samsung needs to address this issue. My ROM version is : G935FXXU1APAW
I agree 100%. One of the great things about Android phones are the LED notifications, but this cover covers it and it should IMO show notifications on the cover.
Just a simple blinking diod would even be good enough.
Disappointing
Or make the dot leds always on! Can we edit it's settings with root? Does anyone have knowledge how to? The led view flip cover is really nice and has potential. But right now it's not even working right.
I reported the issue to samsung...but I'm not expecting much...xda devs is the only salvation haha. Any rom cookers that can help?
When i went to a samsung store to buy the led flip case, the first one i used had an issue like yours so we cracked open another case and tried it on and the 2nd one works like a charm and as a matter of fact no issues until now.
My previous experiences tell me that the sensor itself is faulty on the case. Go to your nearest samsung store and try a new led flip case. See if the issue is still there on a new case.
Does it show all general notifications? Like what's up, Facebook,etc? Because mine shows only time, battery charging, incoming call,and sms. No general notifications...and furthermore it should stay on all the time so I know I had a notification..like the phone led! I'll go try another one Monday...but I still want to see customization on the led case. Always on option...app icons etc.
Please explain how your case works? General notifications etc...
Ok so I was doing some googling on this, and found that it seems to work with Nova Launcher Prime + TeslaUnread (their unread badge plugin). It seems to show four dots spinning on other Samsung LED flip covers.
I don't have Nova Launcher Prime, so I can't test it. If you do, please feel free to try!
edit: ok so I've got nova launcher prime now, and it still doesn't work..
I got my info from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/accessories/led-case-review-t2993839/page2
edit 2: from reading a bit more, the note 4 led cover had some support for 3rd party apps, but that seems to be gone with S7 LED cover..
So there is a way to control it! We just need the software! Great work @dogans ! Anyone who can give us some help? I'm sure its not such a hard thing to do...if it could only take the notification bar icons...and show em on..that would be great. For example if you have a viber text...it should show a viber icon always on till you read it!

Notification only works with standard sms, prompt to swipe for call only happens when receiving calls, music player led only works with samsung music app, alarm clock with samsung built in clock app.
No 3rd party notification support.
Led doesnt stay lit all the time.
It was meant to do that.
And if u wanna check the time u can press the power/lock button.
Well that's no good. First of all..even if I get a standard sms or call..after it lids up for some seconds then it goes dark. The phone led is covered so how I supposed to notice I got a notification. If someone is willing to modify its settings or make a small app to take control of it that would be great. It's highly inefficient as is.
Luckily i read it. I was planning to buy one. Saved some money there.

No you should buy it...it's a really nice case! Even without the notifications...and I'm sure it's a matter of time till we get it right! Haha! I don't think there is a better case..leather plus led
Update: the case works with samsung music player. Wish it would stay on all the time. Volume shows up as well. So the only thing that doesn't work is general notifications and always on (which it's a must if you ask me)

Im not too sure but the number of leds there > number of lcds on a 5" lcd smartphone. If its always on, theres bound to be a huge battery drain
Well at least one led should fade in and out just to let you know you have a notification... Like the phone LED on top of the screen. Can someone write an app to control it? Or at least enable general notifications.
hi, i got problem with this s7 edge led flip case. somethimes it show the clock when i close it but sometimes not. already claim the warranty, and got new one but sadly it happen again after several hour using. one thing i noticed when the led it not show , then put my phone back on metal object suddenly led is working. what do u guys think, problem came from the case or the phone itself?
Probably nfc interference... The case works fine here. Except the above complaints. Try testing it on someone's else's phone. And try your nfc with another phone as well. If both works fine its a software problem. Hard reset!

I have the same problem like this. If the phone
attached with another phone the LED
can work properly,
But if not attached the LED not working.
Picked one up today, tried the hopeless Samsung Experience store in London - who had no S7 Edge cases at all !!!
Went to Carphone Warehouse and got a 3 for 2 deal, but again only bought the LED as that was all they had. Works fine, but boring the led as always with Samsung great idea (hardware) poor software failure to exploit hardware potential.
so did anyone figure out how to modify its software? it shouldnt be that hard i guess.
Hey guys,
I just bought my Mi 9 yesterday and I have some really annoying problems with those Notifications... Like many people I don't get notifications properly shown in the status bar, which I solved somehow with that: https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/themes/app-notification-fix-mi-9-t3918964
That's nice so far, even though it does not work 100% of the time.
But whats really a pain in the ass is, that I dont get notifications on the lock screen either and also no LED notifications. Also while charging the LED isnt working. That means somehow the phone is unusable for a big part of it's purpose right? I found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3907830 and there is no solution and no answer since one month. I tried every single setting I could find about notifications. Nothing helped
Do I miss something or is everyone just accepting this huge bug and no one knows to to anythin about it? No workaround, no solution?
I even think about returning the phone. How is it possible this phone gets such great reviews and test results everywhere if it has such MAJOR problems?
Additionally I can't save pictures taken with the camera if it's opened via shortcut (double press AI button).. someone already mentioned that here and didn't get any help...
If anyone has informations, solutions or workaround for those problems, I'd be super thankful
Edit: Im on MIUI Global 10.2.24 and I'm using the POCO Launcher...
I have the same problems.
Led blinks only in white colour for a short time and that's it. Very annoying and I also don't get icons in status bar.
Is it really just a official bug in the global ROM?
