I'm using GoSMS and I turned on the option to "Blink LED", but I get no notifications when an SMS comes in.
Anyone know how to get it working? Is it a problem with GoSMS or the phone?
EDIT: Tried gmail notifier too and no LED lighting up with that either.
Does the notification light work on this thing?
Are you being serious right now? If you are, there is no notification led for the sgs4g. There are some apps in the market that will light up pixels on your screen when different alerts are needed. Just a quick search in the market

I was serious. Oh well, not a big deal. I have a Vibrant too with no notification light. I thought that one of the things on the front there was a notification light on this, guess not.
Thanks for clearing it up.
No problem

Can you recommend one? Maybe I'm not searching for the right thing.
I like NoLED. They are constantly improving it, but some say it eats batt. I haven't really noticed it myself. It has some pretty cool stuff like batt %, time, and icons.
i tried NoLED but found it killed the battery
There seems to be a section on battery savings in the options. Anything decent there?
Looks like the screen is basically always on, even though it's black, when there's a notification, right?
Is there a general consensus on how bad the impact is?
Black doesn't use battery on these phones.
That is a huge feature I miss coming from my Vibrant.
But I am sure it will slowly be implemented as this phone picks up support.

Hi there,
I found a couple cool apps for our Evo, and wanted to pass them along in case someone else was looking but hadn't found them yet.
LED Light - picolyl - This app turns on our led lights by the camera, and has a widget so you can place it beside your sense widgets for connections, etc.
Mirror for HTC EVO 4G - NeatoFun - This uses the front facing camera and shows the image full screen, so you can check out how awesome you look, or if you've got some boogies hanging out of your nose
Dolphin Browser HD - I used Dolphin Browser on my Hero, but this is a completely different app, it has been totally revamped and has themes and add-ins. It has fantastic multitouch performance also. I'm seriously considering replacing this as my default browser, which I would have never said before.
Google Earth - We can finally use this, Yay! Not so much on the Hero.
Quick Profiles - I've used this since the Hero came out, and it's a great app to manage and create system sound profiles, similar to the ones the old school nokia phones had. I have several set up, from vibrate, silent, loud, nighttime, quiet, normal, etc. It's a great app, I wish something like this was included by default.
there you go, some new ones for me and some favorites too. Enjoy!
Didnt know about that mirror app. Thanks!
what's so much better about dolphin, explicitly? I didn't see anything that made me want to use it when I had my moment at all.

did you use the HD version on your moment? It feels like a totally different app to me, and there's lots of improvements. but, to each his own.
Here's some more info, a video, and a small list of the new improvements.

I like the brightness options, but still think led light is a better app due to the widget. Good stuff though, keep it coming!

I am wondering if one of my LEDs is burned out or broken. When using LED Light app, only the top led lights up. Same when taking pictures. Do both LEDs light up for those of you using the program?

Ouch, both of mine light up also. Sounds like you've got a bad LED. Bummer! At least it's under warranty though.

turn the camera flash to on and check if they both light up when you take a picture
My local Sprint store replaced it out. Nice and easy, and having rooted and having all of my setups in Titanium Backup made it all the easier.
Thanks for all your feedback.

Great find!! I'm enjoying these apps.

I want this and here's what I want it to do:
I want it to display the appropriate notification icons moving around like the stock clock app does while docked.
It would be awesome if it hooked into TrackBall Alerts Pro since he figured out all the sytem hooks for various notifications.
RGB support for the various notifications
I will pay good money for this. Seriously. You want 20 bucks? Make it do what I want and it's yours. This dude's idea is awesome and it would look ****ing sweet while my phone is docked. I've linked the dev OP to this thread.

Sarcasm? Put it on the Market and charge 5 bucks for it for all I care. It would look fantastic with our OMLED screens.
Also, the displaying hardware needs to be on (consuming battery). Also, processor needs to be active (consuming battery). Short story, a lot of stuff consuming battery.
If you dont' believe me, try going to the trackball notifications in succession thread. The solution there just needs to keep the processor awake to change colors to the trackball. And look at people complaining how it wastes way too much battery.
A nice idea, but a serious battery hog.

Plug it into Clock.apk so it runs automatically when in a dock and you can pull up the Clock screensaver if you want it some other time.
Basically, I want to pop into a dock and have it show my Gmail icon when I have gmail, SMS when I have SMS, etc etc. Trackball notifications do it somewhat, but get a floating badge so I can see "Oh, 7 gmail messages" or whatever. GMail notification lights don't really show when I've got more than one very easily.
A good chunk of the code is already there (hook into the clock's screensaver, use TBA's framework for the notifications and I believe ADW has badges for gmail/sms, right?), it'd be mostly tying it all together.

NoLED works as-is on the nexus.
Does the One S have any?
Surely only visible if needed/active

Yes, hidden beneath the speaker mesh. Haven't seen it 'live' yet, but me thinks it may be hard to notice?

It's smaller like at the sensation but believe me you will see it
Tiny LED hole...
I find it not visible enough!
The LED light is coming out of one only tiny hole of the speaker and is a bit difficult to see...
Seeing the size of those holes, a normal led would light 2 to 4 of them...
PS : Sorry for my english!
Hope you will get my explanation
Yes, I agree it isn't as visible as it is on some other phones. However, a family member has the Sensation XE which also has the LED under the speaker grille, and it is only slightly more prominent than the one on the One S. Wish it was as visible as that on my old Desire (which you could spot across the room), but at least it has one, unlike some other makes
Any chance of changing the colors or did HTC still stick to the green/orange combo only? I still miss my G1 in that aspect...haha.

I'm pretty sure it'll turn yellow/red.
The LED of my One S know the colors red/orange and green.
The orange LED shines through the hole battery-loading-process. And it only changes to green when the battery is at 100%.
And at the moment I'm not shure what color is to be seen on notifications. I think green but I'm not shure.
I need an app that reminds me of a missed text/sms, because the LED stops after a couple of minutes.
I tried missed reminder, but that does not stop reminding even after having read the text message.
Does anyone know an app that works? LED notification for text messages.
Does "missed text reminder" work? Or any other app?
Thanks!

For this purpose I'm using "Easy Reminder" on my HD2.
I find this app to be the only one that's not draining the battery.
Not sure though if it'll work with ICS.
@decmk
In a post before, I have already written that "missed reminder" doesn't work properly. The LED does not stop flashing.
Anyone any experiences with "Missed Text Reminder"?
Thanks!

With SAMOLED, NoLED App is perfect...!
light flow works great
Not sure if this has been posted around here but, I was going through my settings and went to the Accessibility option (towards the bottom System section under Settings). Under the Hearing option it will open up options available for people with hearing impairments and one of the options is to use the flash to alert for incoming calls and notifications.
I tried it out and it works, flashes about 3 times to alert. Not sure how much this would affect the battery usage and on the flash itself...but I thought it was pretty cool. Probably not great if you get tons of notifications throughout the day.
This is a great way to blind people when you're holding your phone up and you get a notification.
Wastage of battery in my opinion
Sent from my LG-H961N using Tapatalk
Although I wont make this my go-to notification, I do have one or two times a month this would come in handy.
Thanks for the tip.
Yeah its a pain in the ass getting notifs during use
Light manager in the play store works pretty good.
I use this feature all the time. Half my day at work is in a noisy warehouse and hearing or even feeling my phone is impossible.

Ordered my OP7P today buy I'm quite ready to cancel it. I knew that there's no led notification light but was 100% convinced that there will be some sort of alternative. From what I can read there's nothing like that? No AOD, no nothing. I mean - really? Any third party apps?
Please don't tell me that I have to DT2W every time or worse - lift my phone to check battery percentage (if on charge) or notification icons? I found similar thread on OPs community forum that was closed after 4 replies and with suggestion of.... getting a Samsung phone. Bloody joke.
So, any alternatives?
Well you have to tap it once to wake up te clock, and immediately after you picked the Phone the clock is also waking up. For me it's fine. For you maybe annoying. Some guy here made a notofication light on the screen but for now at least it's battery draining
Lift to wake is very sensitive where even slight movements will trigger ambient display.
I'm on a custom ROM though and this has AOD baked in but even if I was still on OOS, lift to wake is perfect for me.
I remember Ambient Display from Nexus phone and it was terrible. But at least I had notification light back then.
Someone did make an app for the 6t and I think it works for the 7 pro also. I think it's called notifybuddy.
NotifyBuddy is great, but don't use it if you use OK GOOGLE as they clash. Use pixel pulse instead
NotifyBuddy indeed is great, but it totally drains your battery. I am now using "Plus Beat" (find in Play Store) which uses your complete sides of the screen. Per app customizable, works great together with Renovate Ice

Plus Beat also reported by others as clashing with ok google.
Possible. But since I do not use Google stuff, that is all frozen, so wouldn't know (neither would want to test)

Just download an AOD app l on the play store or install a custom rom.
But canceling your order simply because of that is a little weird... Especially when there's loads of options available. Also, did you not look up all the details about the phone before ordering? If so, maybe next time look at ALL the info for the device you're about to buy.
Assuming something with no research, especially with new technology, will always bite you in the ass
I use this one here closest thing I found to an actual aod https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.alwayson
