I cant get noLED to work.. - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I cant get it to work on my nexus s.. I'm on the latest cm7 nightly and whenever I reboot mynpgone it says noled is on

I had that behavior on stock already. Just learnt to do with out it and now I it does not bother me.

Works fine for me on all CM7 builds. Check your settings and also make sure you have a valid lockscreen for it to work.

what exactly do you mean a valid lockscreen? I am using stock

Some people like to use third party apps which disable the stock lockscreen like "nolock" which doesn't work with noled. Go to manage apps, noled, clear data. Leave all settings intact except enabling the notifications you want shown. Should work out the box. Don't enable blink.

I still have not gotten this to work with google voice..

Does anyone know if having a screen off profile in setcpu will interfere with this?

Interference between SMS Pop up and noLED

So I've been running noLED on my Nexus S for a while now and just decided to add the app SMS Popup. The problem is that when my phone is sleeping and I get a text I no longer get the notification icon from noLED only, I also get the message pop up and the buttons on it (reply and close) stay active.
I wish that when my phone was sleeping and I got a text I only got the "notification light" from noLED and once I unlocked the screen I'd see the SMS pop up. Does anyone know of a way to reach that? Maybe another app would behave accordingly? Thanks
Under the miscellaneous setting in noled check the option to delay SMS notifications. Works great for me.
That said the pop-up won't be there when the phone is unlocked. Just for the I initial screen on.

Thanks for the tip but that doesn't really help me achieve what I want.
Maybe I could try another SMS program? (Handcent, etc) Opinions/experiences would be great.
I don't think the app matters. The way I understand it is noled will "dismiss " any popup occupying the screen in order to work.
Let me know if you find something though as its an option I'd love to have myself.

Tried Handcent, Chomp, tried even using Widget Locker and it was a no go.

EVO 4G leds

I have an HTC EVO 4G flashed using the mikmik ROM how can I get both of my led lights behind the top speaker to work when I used the cyanogen 7 ROM both worked how can i turn the other led on plz help
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
theres an app for that
Do you know what its called I tried the Wimax already didn't work
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I'd like to know also.
Wimax Notifier is the only app I know of that allows this and it can be hit or miss on some roms and even work on the same rom for one person but not another, which may just be setting related I had trouble with it after disabling led notifications I never use the leds anymore anyways tbh
Sent from my iCS'd out EViL4G, soaking in a bowl of Ramen Noodles
i use an app called lightflow lite (theres a paid version)...its a bit complicated in the sense that it gives you total control over your leds once you given accessibility in your setting and hit direct mode(i think) in the app itself...after you give it the proper access to your phone you get control over both lights and when and how they blink for any kind of situation...you need to turn off any led notification from other apps that use the lights...in a nut shell you can use this app to control the blinking, color, and speed of the lights...you can also set it up for specific contacts...hope this helps

That app doesnt work on most roms i have tried it on. if anyone knows how to get it working keep us posted
I got it to work with the Wimax notification app I use go sms so i checked the box to disable all other messaging services and at first it wasn't working I had to go in and uncheck the box for disable other messaging apps and it now works hope this helps...

BLN

What are backlightnotifications? What do they do? And why do we need them? I notice they are in the updated kernal.
Read the app description for the app FB states is needed and I'm sure you will figure it out.
So instead of my phone screen lighting up when i recieve a notification my back light at the bottom of my phone will light up. Am i right? OH OK I GET IT NEAT!!
Yes. If you get a text or whatever - your softkets will illuminate and stay on as a notification.
Hmm, i flashed the new kernel but bln still doesnt work. Any suggestions?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
Did you download the app? Did you enable it within the app? Did you flash the kernel through CWM as FB said? Lastly, did you receive a text to test it?
Yes, flashed through cwm. I had an old version of the app, i updated it now but still no luck. And i didnt receive a message, what should i be getting? App is enabled, ofcourse.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
You receive a text to see the BLN. It illuminates your softkeys to notify you of a text.
Or there you can push test notification within the app.
Haha, ofcourse, i know. I thought you meant i had to receive a test message upon installation. No, i already received texts and it isnt working. The test in the app foesnt do the trick either. Bummer, i really enjoyed this on froyo and didva happy dance when i saw it should be working with this new kernel.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
The test in the BLN app will take a few seconds to kick in. Tap on the test text then turn off your screen right after and you'll get the softkeys lighting up.
I've tested this so far with Trillian (works perfectly, the screen doesn't turn on when I get an IM and the softkeys do). GoSMS doesn't work though. Older versions of GoSMS used to work for me on Froyo with the Bali kernel though.
Note that the app you're trying to test this on has to support BLN!!! I think handcent might. You should go through the market and read the description for different texting apps to be sure though.
GoSMS Pro does support BLN. You have to enable LED notifications in settings --> default notification settings for it to work. I have tested and am using with no problems on GoSMS Pro.
I also disabled 'screen on'.

Aha, this was it. I enabled screen on but this is a much better solution . It doesn't work when you have screen on + led notifications enabled at the same time.
Aweeome! Glad you have it working.
Ok, the test works indeed, didnt realise it takws about 5 seconds to kick in. Im using handcent and it doesnt work there, ill have a look at the handcent settings next.

The Bali kernel used a different implementation of BLN. I may end up porting that implementation at some point to see if it helps compatibility.
Well i dont see anything wrong with my settings in handcent, so i dont know why its not working there...
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
oh I see the built in text messenger or call doesn't support BLN, only some apps.
Not sure about stock. Have not tried it.
What kernal with bln support would be the best for valhalla black

There is only one kernel for GB with BLN. Go to FB's kernel thread.

Choosing damn default applications all the damn time

Does anyone know of any fix for this? If Windows users had to set their default browser every time Microsoft put out an update to Internet Explorer, they'd have killed Bill Gates by now. Once a default is set I never again want to be asked what to use no matter if I updated the app in question, the other apps I could have chosen but obviously didn't for a reason, or I install or update some app that suddenly gains that capability.
It can't be that hard to set default flags and to prevent any apps from clearing them by merely being installed or updated.
Has anyone else had this gripe? I can't believe I'm alone. Is there any workarounds? PDroid? Some app? Anything?
No apps that I know of that will keep the default. they hold their setting until the app updates. I just click the button to make it a default again. You can turn off auto update if you have that turned on and then you will not have a problem.

But it is a problem. U very often need the latest versions of things to work properly like Skype which is a great example cuz updating that screws up the default calling, messaging, and I think video playback too. Then there are stupid ones like bit tornado which wants to be the default for every download link. It's just ridiculous! Imagine having to turn off Windows Update or anti-virus updates just so u don't have to re-specify all your damned defaults! It's ludicrous!
Well I would rather just click it then having to endure the alternative of the froyo days or even worse the iPhone.

OK Google

Is there a way to get ok google to work on the edge?
Sent from my Samsung Note Edge using Tapatalk
It works just fine on my t-mobile edge. Just scroll to whatever home screen your Google search bar is on and say, Okay Google.
I was playing with the settings the other day to try to save battery power. I must have shut something off, because it doesn't work on mine.
Sent from my Samsung Note Edge using Tapatalk
Ok ran google setup and now it works. But it just made the search bar useless. Didn't like the looks of it anyway.
Sent from my Samsung Note Edge using Tapatalk
Have you tried this?
Settings -->language and input --> turn on voice search --> turn on, "ok Google" detection --> record your own, "ok Google "
When done, try it and works even when screens off....
That is a different way of getting there, but that is how I got it to work again. (You can also get there by using google setup in the app drawer) of course the OK Google is gone from the widget, but I guess it's better this way.

If you are using Nova launcher, it has the capability to work from any screen of the launcher. (homescreen/alt screens/dashboard)
Been using Nova for a few years and they've done a great job integrating things like this, while adding a little extra capabilities.
If you follow the directions in google setup, you can access OK Google from any screen and also if the lock screen is on if you choose to do so.

I know this but tons of other dont.
No one ever cares to read the manual.
Plus alot of stuff is disable by the carrier if they let them setup the phone.
That's why I always setup my own phone and then later go through all the settings.
I had my Note 3 able to send text messages by voice while the screen was off. And it's nice to be able to tell it to play a song while it's in your pocket.
Voice controls are cool to me. Just suck that's it's always listening so if you say something similar it will wake up.
Someone please help me out here. S voice is giving me some serious pain in the ass right now.
I want to disable S voice completely and only use Google Now but that seems to be impossible.
The Issue:
I can only OK Google from my home page where the Google search widget is. On my G3 I could OK Google from any app any screen and even lockscreen without a hiccup.
S Voice is causing issues pretty much everywhere I want OK Google
What I've tried:
Tried freezing S Voice in which case I lost the ability to OK Google from Anywhere and the lockscreen.
So tried using the S switcher app which was very buggy and had to simply uninstall it...
What I want:
Just plain OK Google and nothing else. All I want to be able to do is OK google from any screen and any app like I did so many times before on all other devices I've owned.
Ideally I would want to be able to activate it from lock screen too but that's not a priority.
Can anyone help me out here.
My friends S4 can do this all seamlessly too but the Edge seems to bug out everywhere because of S Voice
If you go to your Google settings in the app drawer, you'll find the options for ok Google to activate from any screen. I have a t-mobile Edge.
Google Settings->Search and Now
If you're rooted you can install xposed and install the ok Google module which works for any launcher

I can use OK Google from any screen and it's still available from the widget. I am using the stock launcher & have an AT&T Edge. My friend has a T-Mobile Edge and he couldn't get OK Google to work from any screen other than the home screen, even though his OK Google detection settings are the same as mine. He gave up and started using Nova launcher lol.. could be that some devices have an issue with this.

This pretty much sums it up. Like I have said I'm no noob when it comes to using Google Now and know every detail of it's settings. Yes, all my settings are set to activate from any screen yet it fails to activate.
The issue is if I freeze or uninstall S Voice I am no longer able to check mark the Activate from any screen box and if I have S Voice activated it just seems to cause issues with ok google and just a clumsy software overall.
I was just wondering if anyone had a workaround.
You have to freeze S-Voice, then clear data for the Google Search app and then set Google up again. Trust me.

You do have to freeze S voice. Then while in application manager go to Google search and clear data. Then get out of settings because you are correct the option to activate from any screen is gone. Now go to your app drawer and choose Google settings. Click on Search & Now. Click on Voice and set it up from there. The option is available in these settings.

YES! you da best. Now for the sake of it could I do the exact reverse to only use S Voice if I ever feel like using it exclusively?

Well I'm no expert but I don't see why it wouldn't work the same for S voice.
The issue I'm having is Google now won't work when connected to bluetooth. I have mine connected to my Gear S and when I say ok Google the bar stays frozen instead of jumping around showing you it's listening. Soon as I disconnect my watch it works fine. It's annoying!
