hi,
On the htc one x when there is a notification, the led only blinks for ~30mins before stopping. Has htc fixed this yet, how long does it blink on the one?
Can someone with the phone test this please.
why would u want it to blink forever? this will burn the led out before u know it
Burn the LED out? I dont think so.

On my S3, I can customize the color of the notification LED to distinguish whether it is notifying me of an e-mail, or a text message, or a missed call, or if the phone is fully charged or not fully charged, etc. Is that a basic android feature that will be available on the One as well?

You can download an app called LightFlow.

No, the HTC One only supports red and green... unlike the SIII which sports many more.

Will this keep the the LED flashing?
It's a real pain it keep going out.
Does Lightflow even work on the HTC One?
Is that any way to turn low battery LED notification off? Really annoying
Send from my S3 (2nd HTC one goes for replacement)
So can anyone with the phone do a test? The led on the one x right now is useless. It may as well not have the led at all, since it only lasts for 30mins.
Just want to know if it's the same on the one before I pull the trigger.
thanks

On the one x and one s it sure worked like crap... don't count on it working well on the One either.

I'll test it now
Edit: Missed calls, texts messages & emails. All notifications are only lasting for 5 mins on my One.

Surely this is something that can be fixed in a custom ROM? I'm getting my One next week and moving from an S3, the LED is one of the most useful features for me. I can deal with the lack of colour options but 5 minutes is just silly!

Its the same with the one x, and its still isn't fixed, even with custom kernel.

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

I got the Nexus 6 about a week ago. Same day I got it, I did the trick to upgrade it to 5.1 (remove SIM, check for updates). Just kinda noticed now that I never see any LED blinking for notifications. It does do the low power black screen heartbeat though. Any clue why no lights?

flash a custom kernel. I believe Lean, vindicator and elementalX have led notifications for sure. I think the others do too. Cant remember.
Lightflow is needed on the stock rom to make the led work.

The custom kernels allow LED for charging but not for notifications.
Use Light Flow app or a custom ROM that has native LED built in.

It does and it works very well. I set super user to disable it's notification of granting access though. Didn't need to see that, just the light.
Don't you need the paid Light flow app for notifications?

Yes you do.
I'm not quite sure what the actual requirements are for native notification lights (lightflow is an ugly hack that I personally would not use), but it certainly is neither a custom kernel NOR a full custom system image. I *think* that a custom built lights HAL may suffice, or it may also require a custom built Settings application. I.e., under Settings --> Sound & notification, it is missing the option to enable/disable "Pulse notification light".
So wait, are notification light not used in stock Nexus? Is that because they replaced it with the heartbeat?

Yes, no notification LED on stock. Was supposedly replaced at the last minute with ambient display.

More a matter of the just disabled it for fun. Nexus 9 does NOT have ambient display (presumably because it is not amoled), and also has its led disabled.
Using lightflow for Y messenger. Not sure why. I''m headed to work and can't investigate right now. But I will...
Update: once you enable the mixer, a setting appears allowing for an app controlled flash. It was selected in the y messenger. I selected it in a couple other app's notifications and it does indeed work.
So you're saying you have blinking LED notification? The holy unicorn of features our brethren have been hunting for a long time now?
I saw it originally out of the corner of my eye and paid no attention to it until I saw it again. Then I watched for it.

This is the hidden LED under the grill right? Not the camera LED?
Cause I swear to god, if this is the elusive hidden blinking, you're gonna be a hero.
Post a video, haha.
I am referring to the led under the speaker.
Been blinking on LightFlow like this for over 7 months now. Across several different roms. Where have you guys been Rip-Van-Winkleing?
Glad you discovered it. Welcome to the club. Kinda like finding a treasure chest of doubloons, isn't it?

Interesting, I knew about some ROMS that have it. But every thread I see about this being unlocked w/o flashing a custom ROM everywhere has ended with. Nope.
I guess you learn something new everyday.

Any specific settings? I got it flashing. But it's all 3 colors at once. I can't get just one color only.
In the mixer, turn off the LEDs you don't want.

I found this thread originally:http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/led-speaker-confirmed-t2947625
And went from there.
I tired turning off the ones I didn't want. No matter what I did, all colors came on.
It's ok though. I decided not to go with this in the end because the notification would only blink for 3 minutes. Once the phone started going into Doze mode. It killed the LED. Even with the Deep Sleep force mode active in the app.

Does it have an effect on battery life? Does it blink even in deep sleep, and do you have to enable wakelocks in Lightflow settings?

In LightFlow you can set it to disable on sleep either by time schedule or when "priority" or "none" (silent) interruptions are set. I have seen no noticeable adverse effects on battery drain.

Battery life wasn't a concern really. It was the LED being turned off completely once Doze kicked in. Even allowing Lightflow to not be turned off by Doze under the "Optimization" menu in Battery.
Maybe I'll try it again someday. For now though it's not something I want to fight with on my phone haha.
I don't have the mixer setting in mine
This question is a bit unrelated to this thread, but sort of in the same vicinity. I'm an N6 first-time user, and since I am unable to find a user manual for this device, I am desperately trying to find out what the "thing" is on the left side of the upper speaker. It looks like a hidden LED (not the hidden one under the speaker bar), just on the top left. Does anyone know?
Its the proximity sensor.

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

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.
