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.

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.

Just recently got my HTC Vivid and I like the device. Quick question about the notification LED in the upper left corner. It seems to only flash for a few minutes indicating I have received an SMS or email, etc. Should it only flash for a few minutes? I would prefer it continue to flash until I check.
I don't know that it flashing for only 5 or 10 or 15 minutes (however long it is, I haven't timed it) will help me much as I check the phone every 5 minutes to see if it's blinking. For example, at work I often leave my phone on silent (as in not vibrate but completely silent) and rely on LED notification (or on my Captivate, BLN control pro) to tell me I have something waiting. But I may be away from my desk for 30 minutes or an hour. If the notification LED on this device only flashes for a few minutes upon receipt of something new (text, email, missed call, vm, etc.) then I could potentially miss events if I don't turn the screen on to look for notification bar icons.
It seems these apps on the market that are supposed to expand the functionality of the notification LED may not work for HTC devices such as this one.
All of that to ask...is this normal behavior or is there somewhere on the device I can control how long it will blink? If there is I have't found it so someone pointing me to it would be greatly appreciated!
It's normal, mine does it too actually. It's really annoying though, haven't tried any apps for it yet.

Hmm...well, I looked up a couple apps on the Market that I saw suggested elsewhere but it seems the comments/reviews were saying it didn't work on various HTC phones. It would be nice to be able to tell it to not blink as frequently (i.e. longer between blinks) but blink until cleared.
Also had a weird occurrence earlier where I got a text, light was blinking, I read and replied to the text but the light was still blinking. A restart cleared it. Hope this isn't a continual problem; I want the LED to work as I think it is very useful.
SMS pop up in market lets you adjust the blink rate.

That happens to me occasionally. All you need to do is pull down the notification tray and it will stop. At least, that's been working for me.

Can you confirm that this feature in SMS Pop up works on the Vivid? I ask because I tried Lightflow, I think it was, from the Market and all it did was make the LED stay on steady and not blink (or I couldn't get it to blink). Also, can you disable the pop ups using the SMS Pop up app? Sorry, just wondering if you or anyone know from experience...

SMS Popup has the option but I don't think it works for the Vivid. I vaguely remember trying it.

Tested it out and it does work on the vivid. You can change the color, speed and how long it flashes. Yes you can also disable the pop up.
EDIT: After playing with it some more the LED color change doesn't work on the vivid. It is always green.

Guys,
got my Z this morning but the notification LED does not notify on SMS or emails, It does work and go solid when charging but that's it.
Am I missing something, is there a setting for it on the phone
Thanks

Don't know if it's gonna make any difference but...have you connected the phone to the pc to check for updates?
The French version did not come with the last version, 350 I think.
just done a full phone reset and made no difference.
the phone says no other update is available, if I connect phone to PC I guess the same will be said

Hello,
I got my Xperia this monday, it came from Germany. With the notification led it happened just the same until I did a factory reset and then the led started working perfectly.
Hope this helps.
The LED works for me when getting whatsapp messages. I have not yet noticed if it lid up when I got an SMS/email. Will report back when I have more info.
I'm on that latest update which ends with .350
I am on 350 as well
Are you using STAMINA?
Led wont work with it on.

Really? Doesn't make sense!
At least for phone calls and sms it should notify you...
Got the same thing here, also did a reset and I'm not in stamina.
Must be a setting or something that we're "missing".
Done a full phone reset 3 times and still no fix
I am gonna just throw this out here, cause I dont actually have the phone, but are light notifications activated within the apps of themselves by default?
in messaging in you go into setting there is options to tick or un tick LED notification but in my case it is ticked.
tried unticking reboot and then reticking and reboot but made no difference
I should be one of the bugs Docomo has fixed today on their version - notification led not notifying during sleep, there's no Extended Stamina Mode
I guess Sony will do the same for operator-free firmware really soon.
hopefully its very soon, its very annoying not knowing if a sms or a missed call has happened
I had the same problem, but 'fixed' it by installing Lightflow...
Hope they will bring update soon.
My led is not working either, is there a option in settings to enable it that I haven't come across?

Factory reset will fix everything.
do it.
Right i did a factory reset, it worked for a while Until i installed lightflow and go sms, if anyone got it working with lightflow can u let me know what settings you used?

so strange, I installed light flow and still nothing no notification nothing.
I cant be a broken LED because it lights up when charging the battery
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?

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.
So I got my Note 4 yesterday...yay me.
I ran the upgrade.
It is not rooted yet so completely stock.
On my Note 3 i was using blocking mode to kill the led indicator from flashing all night from emails.
I set up blocking mode last night and it does not seem to work.
My phone continued to flash with the blue indicator and when I cleared the email then the LED came on to show charging.
My Note 3 never did that....has anyone else tested blocking mode to see if I am just special or what?
Thanks

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.
