I installed Light Flow on my S8, and it's working great, except for one minor issue. When the battery is fully charged, and the green light comes on, I'm not getting any other notification LEDs, just the solid green LED. If I unplug the phone, then the other LED notifications start flashing. Does anyone know how I can fix that?
I think you can set up a notification in light flow for fully charged. Just set it so that there is no LED. Hopefully that will take care of it. Just uncheck enable LED for that particular notification in light flow.

My current phone is an S7 with Marshmallow and Light Flow Legacy has been working flawless. I just received an S8 with PIE and I've been hearing horror stories after updating.
Are you using Light Flow Pro or Legacy?
Are you also using the sound alerts?
I'm mainly interested if getting the initial sound and the repeating sounds as it is used for work.
Thanks...

I am using Legacy. Back when I first installed I had both Pro and Legacy installed and it recommended disabling Pro, so I did. I works fine.
I don't have Lightflow control the sound, but I wasn't getting vibration for a couple things so I use Lightflow for vibration. I think I get double vibration sometimes, but it doesn't bother me. I should probably turn off the other vibrations in the apps, but haven't bothered yet.
I have not tried to use it for sound.

Light Flow Legacy was working fine on all my alerts except 'Missed Call'. I spent several hours, even factory reset. I have finally figured it out.
I was using 'From pre-defined application list' to set the applications I wanted to be alerted on which included 'Missed Call'. Well, it appears the 'Missed Call' in 'From pre-defined application list' does no work on the S8 with PIE. I remove the 'Missed Call' from my list and went into 'From an installed application' and there were 4 'Phone' entries in there, and no 'Missed Call'. I added all 4 'Phone' entries with different LED colors for each, and the 'Missed call' is now working. I deleted the 3 that did not match the LED color that was alerting on, and it is all good. I did have to silent the default sound, and turn off the default LED in phone settings notifications.

I agree. I have been confused about which phone app is actually being used for what when getting the LED to light, and for other issues. I wish I knew that you could uninstall all but one and which one that was. I could probably figure this out, but haven't taken the time yet.

Hi all,
For some reason, my Diamond does not offer me the option of flashing the LED when a new email comes in (it's greyed out). LED would be really useful as it would save having to check the device - just like a Blackberry - any ideas on how to effect this?
Also, I have configured Email to be my "home page" using TF3D-Config (thanks - great util) - but anyone know how to make the Inbox (ie. list of messages) the default screen, rather than the graphical envelope (which doesn't seem to useful). Again - just like Blackberry.
As you guessed I'm using Direct Push with Exchange more than the phone!
Sorry to be requesting help rather than contributing help - but I've only had it a day since I retired my S620!

The thing you thing is an LED is actually a light sensor.
New message notifications are done using varying types of white light around the center button. If you take a look at the user manual you will find out more.
There was also a detailed post about it once on here, but I can't for the life of me find it!!
Called it an "LED" as I couldn't think of another term! However - despite the user manual, the option for flashing notifications is greyed out, but strangely not for MMS. This is a Vodafone supplied Diamond, so one wonders whether they've turned email notifications off to encourage more spend on MMS etc... Maybe I'm too skeptical about operators...
Try Advance Config by Boinger66... ( its a sticky )
There you can set the time for all notifications including e-mail..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406681
So do you not get any of this??
The buttons below the touch screen and the exterior edge of the
Navigation Control which is an LED ring will light up in the following
situations:
Controls Light Behavior
SEND button Light flashes when there is an incoming call.
END button Light stays solid when there is an incoming call.
Navigation Control The LED ring shows a “breathing” white light when the
battery is being charged.
The LED ring shows a solid white light when the battery is
fully charged.
The LED ring flashes a white light once when the battery
level is low and reaches down to about 10%.
The top and bottom parts of the LED ring flashes a white
light twice when there is a new e-mail, voice mail, or
meeting reminder.
A white light goes around the LED ring counterclockwise
twice starting from the top when there is a missed call or
new SMS or MMS message.
In short - no. The light pulses when charging but that's it - so that light itself works, but certainly not for notifications etc. And I'd already tried to install Boinger66's Advance Config but after what is reported as a successful install - there is nothing - no app - zip - and no app visible in "remove programs". As if it never was installed. And any subsequent reinstallation attempt causes "failed to install". I'm now really puzzled... esp. as Boinger66's thread isn't exactly riddled with a basic "app won't install query".

Dis you first install 'Schaps_AdvancedConfig_v2.0.1.0'? (you have to have this installed before you install Boinger66's Advanced Config)
and then 'Advance Config by Boinger66'...
Thanks - that's certainly fixed the app installation issue, and the light now does flash on notifications. Although it doesn't seem reliable. More investigation required by me, probably lots of resets, and maybe it's fixed. Again - many thanks
I have written a little application that gives LED notification for missed calls. (the default behaviour gives you only LED notifications for SMS,email and voicemail)
Features: Customizable sound, vibration, led, repeat notifications for missed calls, incoming calls, sms, bluetooth enabled/disabled, bluetooth device connected, airplane mode, battery level low, etc.
Version 0.8.9 includes a Locale plug-in! For all the Droid users make sure that you have got "Missed Call for Android 2.0" installed.
You can try it out if you want.

Android Market - Missed Call
FEEDBACK:
Just reply to the thread here or tweet me: http://twitter.com/missed_Call
This is pretty cool, now all we need is a Bluetooth notification light.
Thanks mister. This is just what I needed.
The next updates will be released in the Android market only. But I will update the thread here when the next version is available.
Hey i emailed you earlier about what the status icon does. i just wanted to say thanks i understood now. thanks for the quick reply too.

Awesome job. Interface exaclty like it should be. Working exaclty as expected. Strange feeling to have such app on this new platform. Most of apps is raw a meat. =)
your app rocks. originally, i gave you 4 stars and said "add option to change colors"
and you did that in the update. i can't change my rating in market, but i now give you 5 stars.
mario
You rock! I downloaded this a few days ago and just got the update- SO COOL!
I dont know if you are looking for ideas or taking requests, but ability to play a sound every few (cusomizable ) minutes would be stellar! I miss my reminders for missed calls, texts, etc from WM as my phone is usually in its sleeve
Better yet, your app taking over all the notifications to give us selectability in color and blinking rate of the LED (and hopefully sound!) for ALL notifications, that would just be a "dream"!
I'm thinking about all kinds of different customisations for the notifications. Today I added SMS LED support. Have fun with it.
Regards!
if you keep it up you may want to get a "donation" Paypal linkie
This app is awesome I'm still hoping for an audio reminder every X (customizable) minutes using X (customizable) alert in either this app or another similar one, but for now this is great
I'm thinking about adding this reminders. The problem is that they will drain the battery. But I will test these things and add them.
PS: If you got a forced close while stopping the service it would be nice if you could inform myself. I know it has to to with the stopping of notifications but I can't figure out the excat bug.
Looking at the phone seems to drain the battery. I once thought about using GPS and it drained the battery. Just saying battery seems to drain it. I wouldnt worry about the notifications hahaha
Well yeah. I'm looking into that. I will add some Timer as well to make it possible to shut down the notification after a certain amount of time. But well I just need a break at the moment.
a break? Get back to work!
seriously though, great work! I am looking forward to seeing your future versions.
In the next release we will have some bugs fixed. SMS and Call LED stops blinking now when you read the messages or look at the missed calls. (which was a hard peace of work since it is completly undocumented ) In addition we will have a permanent status icon when it is set. (it will not disappear when you clear the status bar) And last but not least we will have a silent incoming call notification. (LED flasing while incoming call in changeable color)
Regards!
add reminders please!
Ah yeah. I will look into them.
Hello again,
I downloaded the newest version of the app with sms support. Its works good but found a couple "bugs". First is, that sometimes the led turns green, but I clear it and then its blue again like it was set. Happens from time to time. Last, if its possible, can the led take precedence over the charging light?
Also, what is the timer for? Is it the duration the led stays on like in a blink or what? Sorry having a problem undestand the on off thingy.
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Your first problem is fixed now in the current release. (0.3.7) I'm sorry but the system doesn't allow overriding the charging LED. I tried that serveral times but there is no chance to do it in the current Android release. (confirmed by Google developers)
I renamed the timer now. It is the interval that the LED is blinking. 300ms/300ms leads to very fast blinking for example.
Regards!
I am new to HTC One, coming from S4.
Is Sense lockscreen supposed to show notifications? Light up when something happnes, like a new sms or email? I don't see this on my phone. I know there is a LED on the phone also, it lights up when I'm charing the phone, but only then. I see in the settings that there is a setting for led, it is on, but I don't see any.
How is this supposed to work on the One? Do I have to install DynamicNotifications or do you recommend anything else?
Also, I don't find any function for "Do not disturb" which can be setup to automatically silence the phone at nighttime, except for contacts I choose to whitelist. Like "Blocking-Mode" on Samsung. There isn't any?

1. Yes it will show Notifications. If you need that info, go to Settings, Security, Notification Settings and enable the appropriate ones you need...
2. The LED will blink based on the notifications you will select in the "Notification light" option in settings again. It doesn't blink for long, the blink happens only for a brief time....This is to make sure it doesn't dry your battery...
Cheers!!!
Hit thanks only if this helped you
Hmm... I cannot get this to work. When using the stock sms-app I get no notifications at all, no sound, no popup, nothing on the lock-screen. Nothing. In the app all notifications are set to on. In settings everything is set to notify on the lock screen and led is on.
When using ChompSMS, I get notification sound, but nothing on the lock-screen, except when I use the Dynamic Notifications app. There's no light in the led though.
When using gmail I get the sound, but nothing on lock screen and no led-blink. If I use Dynamic Notifications I get notified on the lock-screen, but no led-blink.
I am on 4.3 and pure stock.
How is this supposed to work? Coming from Samsung, this is very confusing. It simply won't work.
The led lights when charging though, but never on anything else.
Anyone facing this issue: Notification showing on status bar but not showing on lockscreen, Even after enabling all the app permissions and also show all notifications on lockscreen.
Tried every setting but still not working.
Anybody know any solution?
Notification issue
Yup having the same issue. Infact the notification light doesn't come on at all....I have tried everything checked all settings, permissions. It just comes on when charging or when front cam pops up. Also I don't get sound with some notifications but for some I do.
But the the notification light never works.
Is this for whatsapp? For me, after setting all the permissions, sound, notification badge in statusbar, lockscreen started appearing with sounds.
Light, I haven't noticed yet, as its on the top. Will verify that.
k20pro notification light
Hey guys, its been 2days, i'm not able to get notification light for any application , tried all settings but still no luck. Please help me if anyone found the solution
The notification light on the pop up camera comes on for me but i dont get any notifications on the lock screen or always on display
Can confirm this bug. The ONLY app that gives me notifications on the lock screen is Snapchat, even though I've explicitly allowed all notifications and their content to show in the lock screen. And for my other messaging apps I've gone to their specific settings to allow this as well. Still nothing. It is really frustrating.
Hi I'm currently using redmi k20 pro running China ROM with MIUI 10.3.16. i noticed with messaging apps such as instagram and line won't show me notifications unless i enable autostart in the app settings. Battery saver has also been turned off. Anybody faced similar problem?
Ok so guys try putting off Adaptive battery in the Battery&Performance setting. I started getting notifications on the lock screen as well as on the ambient display screen after putting it off.
Let me know if it works for you guys.

Figured out the "no led thing". Change in whatsapp the color from red to white. That was in my case the solution.
I'm sure I'm missing something, but how exactly does the notification light work on this phone? I'm coming from a OnePlus 3 and I'm just baffled.
The main switch for notification dot is on and is also enabled in the apps' settings.
I have been able to get some notification lights working with the LightFlow app, but basic functions like SMS messages don't notify me at all. Fail for Discord as well. And I should not have to use a third party app, right?
Thanks!
It's a shame it's not working proplerly. Have you tried Whatsapp's in-app light notification settings?
It's still bugged, for everything else it's actually fine, just for the sms message app it comes on once upon recieving an SMS then goes off rather than a continuous blink. I read in one of the old CN firmwares they fixed it, but nowhere in the WW firmware is it mentioned.
I've noticed there's no option for vibration on notification led. What's going on here!, the most important small details are missing.
