Hi. I'm posting this here because I figure the Supercharged thread in the dev area isn't a support thread. ;-)
So I flashed Supercharged v4 last week and have had absolutely no problems with it whatsoever. However, I have noticed something that's not a problem, but it is a little distracting, and I hope one of you guys know what's going on...
Ever since flashing the rom, from time to time when my screen is off I'll see the LED flash at two second intervals until I turn the screen back on. But when I turn the screen on I don't see any notifications. Further, when I check each of my apps that have notifications, none of them are set to use the LED... and to top it all off I can't find any system settings that indicate the LED is being used in any way.
It's a mystery. It's not a showstopper but it's a little distracting because it keeps blinking at me and I can't figure out why. Do any of you know why?
Ya so mine does the same thing. Its the light flow app. Its done that before. "Flashing for nothing" I just restart the phone and it hasn't done it again.
Thank you!
I didn't even think to look at light flow. I don't use it... it's a relief to finally know what's going on.
Yeah the Light Flow app is what is doing it. Although I don't think mine has flashed for nothing. It has quite an extensive settings area so might want to edit it so it only goes on when you want it to. You can even change the color of the LED!!! heheeh
Hey all, I'm trying to figure out how to get some brightness settings for the touch key brightness to stick. I've used LG 2x Notifications and O2x Touch Key Brightness, and they both work up until the point where i put the phone to sleep by tapping the power button. As soon as I wake it up, the brightness goes straight to zero unless i head back to the app and raise it up again. And if i uninstall the apps, the brightness on my keys stay off until i re-flash or reinstall the app again. Help!
My issue is a little different but similar. It worked fine for me on every basic gingerbread rom, but when I switched to a cm7 based rom the lights change with the brightness of the screen. I turned off all the light notifications but it did not help.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

On SinghUI but it doesn't have built-in LED notifications, if that's what you're getting at.
If the setting from one of those apps doesn't stick, then it's most likely being set by your ROM or Kernel. Have you tried checking if you get the same issue with other ROMs?
@jcbofkc That's a built-in setting that can't really be changed unless you get a custom ROM or Kernel cooked up to remove the link between the brightnesses.

90% sure the ROM doesn't have built in notifications. I'm noticing now that very rarely the settings do stick. Perhaps there is a way to force the app to stay in memory?

That wouldn't work. All that those apps do is write a number from 0-20 to the text file:
/sys/devices/platform/star_touch_led/wled
in your root file system.
When you read the file, it shows you the current output to the LEDs (from 0uA to 2000uA).
When you write to the file, it interacts with the Kernel and sets the brightness.
The Touch Key Lights type apps, all they do is when you move the slider they write a value to that file, and that's it. The only reason it wouldn't stick is if your ROM or Kernel is changing the value in the background. For example it will set it to 0 when you turn the screen off, and then it should set it back to wherever it was before when you turn the screen on again.
The closest you could get is to take the source for LG Touch LED Notifications and modify it to set the brightness every few seconds or something, but that probably wouldn't be too good for your battery life.
Based on your symptoms it appears that either your ROM or your phone doesn't really handle the modifying of the brightness very well. It looks like SinghUI does use a kernel from CM7, so I don't think your kernel is the problem. I'd suggest flashing the most recent CM7.2 RC, and seeing if you have the same problem there. CyanogenMod will change your LED brightness based on your screen brightness though.
EDIT: Ignore all that for a moment, try this first. It is a post from January 21st in the SinghUI thread, so it might not work now, but go ahead and try it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21652744&postcount=293
Also I'd suggest posting in the SinghUI thread as everyone there is using your ROM, so they might be able to help better.

Thanks for the link. It turns out that the ROM does have led notifications. However, disabling them didn't help the problem. :/ the g2x has just been an awful experience for me! :/
Has anyone been able to get Light Flow to work on the OnePlus One? I like light flow a lot better than the CM notification center, but I just can't seem to get it to work.
Has anyone here getten it to work? If so, mind sharing your settings?
So far I've had one person say it worked and two not!
Can you try and see if led color tester by coolbeans works on the phone (with lightflow either not installed or disabled) and let me know if that works?
I'm interested in this as well. I enjoy Lightflow so much more than any of the other notification apps I've tried. I'll be heartbroken if it doesn't work...
i used lightflow with paranoid android and it works fine on my oneplus one chinese version

Hello. I'm a big fan of your work (been using on the N4 and N5).
I also have this app on my OnePlus One. I noticed that up until the most recent build that all my notifications were working. Gmail and stuff were all fine.
Is it me or did the latest build change something? When notifications come in I get a white light blinking. When I power my screen on and off again it seems like Light Flow then registers, and now I get green pulses.
I'm not sure if its the most recent build of Light Flow or if its because I added a second Gmail account). I am rooted so I'm on root mode, but maybe some of my settings are whacked?

Yep, have the same "issue". Before the last Update everything was fine..
No Light Flow issues here.
Just got my OnePlus One today. Installed, restored the app generated backup from my S4, good to go.
Some apps need to have their own LED setting disabled for LF to work properly since the last version.

You sir are a hero. It no longer requires me to use Gravity Box UNC to override settings.
Question: Do you recommend for high end phones like the N5 and OPO to run in foreground or background? I see no issues with background on my OPO and the app doesn't get killed at all.
Second question: You're still going to roll out global settings someday right? Having to change speeds for every app is a bit annoying, or even custom blink settings.
Final question: Is it possible to adjust the brightness for the LED? I see a brightness option in the sleep options for night blinking, but adjustments for individual notifications? Would be nice to have global for this too

On the N5 I find it does work better with the option on, without it once every few days maybe it'll get killed off by android (which is fairly normal for any background service) so it'll miss a notification.

Yes that's still on the list. If google hadn't brought out android L I'd have been working on that, but I've had to divert my time to issues with that!

There's a global option for this (in lightflow, settings, general settings, led brightness), but not individual, you'd just have to use the custom color option at the moment.
Lightflow works for me.
I can't get LF working, or if it does work it just flashes white. I'm 100% stock/unrooted so is there anything else I need to activate to get it working? I had no issues with my previous Nexus 4/5 so it must be something silly!
EDIT: Reinstalled and seems to be working OK now, so obviously something I did wrong!
Thanks for the help @andrewpmoore
Is it possible to have the lights on even when the screen on? Is that the "Samsung direct mode?" I don't believe that worked on my other non Samsung devices, so I doubt it will work on the OPO.
I ask because CM's battery LED seems to by default remain on even when the screen is on or off.

Same here. Rooted. Locked bootloader. Dunno if it matters...
Correction! There seems to be a small glitch: At the end of Charging when switching to Charged it seems to start switching between Charging and Charged rather than just using the Charged notification.
I've a fix coming for switching between charged and charging.
What 'Device Settings' is everyone running to make this work? Is anyone using:
Direct Mode?
Samsung root mode?
Reset color before change?
Nexus 5 force LED reset?
For some reason mine works for a period of time than I start getting SMS's and it stops working. I restart the app, but it doesn't continue to work again. Not sure what's going on.

Not having any issues... maybe backup your notification settings and then wipe and restore them. Ensure LF has the proper notifications access, etc.

Nope. Nothing. Tried to clear the cache and data. Tested the notifications and nothing... Checked Notification access and tried enabling root mode. Still nothing... Phone is stock though rooted.
Hey guys.
Stumbled upon this on YouTube. Bought the app and I can confirm that it works.
This is the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
Here's the video I found on YouTube:
I managed to get it setup just the way I like. The guy in the video is a bit hard to understand but the video is good enough to get you started.
If your looking for a deeper dive into the optimal configuration process try this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/workaround-missing-notification-led-edge-t3919286
Enjoy!
thanks a lot =)
But is it posible to set different colors for different apps?
for example
green = whatsapp
blue = facebook ....
UPDATE: there is an option .... "when a notification comes" there you got the option "select enabled aps ots color and time" the blue button =)

Just tried it, buggy as hell and didn't play nice with my lock screen. Also every 30 seconds the screen would flicker.
I'll keep an eye on it and maybe try again after more refinement.

I had nothing but issues out of the app. Notifications wouldn't notify, the lock screen turned on and off randomly, there were no edge lighting effects no matter what I adjusted. I even tried to use the camera cutout, it again did not work.
This is a VERY bloated app, containing a LOT of features and options that frankly, are of no use to me or of no interest to me. I want an app that it's ONLY purpose is to alert me when I get messages, calls, and email. one that does not have so much bloat so that the developer can focus on the feature that is most sought after at the moment.
Just my two cents.
tl;dr App is junk, has too much junk, we need a debloated app.
It's a start...

Come on! This app might not be right for you, but the developer should at least be given some credit/thanks for the effort taken to solve a problem, for which several users are seeking a not really forthcoming solution from Samsung. You "want an app...", but the developer created something and shared it. Granted, the app has far too many options and choices, but I was able to get it working to my satisfaction. Let's be thankful first .

Okay, okay, okay. I may have been a little harsh. I didn't mean to demean to developer. I am very thankful they have taken the time to create this app out of the kindness of their heart, as well as make the app free. I appreciate the work they have done and I would even donate if I could get the app to work; however it's not very user friendly tough, and in my opinion, could use a lot of work on many different aspects.
My main issue with the app is that it does not work as intended. I have tried using the youtube video settings, playing with options, etc.
I download and re-install this app about 5 times a day in hopes that MAYBE one time I can get it to function as intended. But I do not get any kind of Edge lighting or Notch cutout alert when I get messages, and that is the sole purpose of my attempts with this app, if I could find something similar or something that better served this purpose I would use it instead.
Sometimes, while using the apps lock screen, it will display the little icon and the message but then it goes away, and doesn't re-alert like it is suppose to, and the light affects do not appear. I have tried leaving it as the stock color and using a custom color. I have tried using the app lock screen, I have tried using the settings within the app to let it manipulate the wallpaper and lock screen, tried it with an image and also just a black background. I never even delved into setting different colors for apps, I can't get the dang notifications to work!
end rant
Do you have edge light on? Worked for me first try. I am not saying its 100% but for free and for now to wait to see if Samsung might give us we want I will leave it on my phone.
hello,
with this app is there a setup to leave the screen off when a notification comes in and only the cam ring turns on then?
thanks

it is working a bit strange for me as well. I've managed to get it to ALMOST work how I want, but I can't figure out why it will do random things
-- for a while it was turning on my screen when the edge lighting came on, which was pointless. I changed a lot of settings in troubleshooting, but I'm not sure what I did to fix it
-- also, it does notify every 30 seconds even though I have no new notifications. that one I haven't figured out yet
It does work as advertised though, despite the bugs I can't fix. It will either light up my edge lighting or the notch around the camera (which I prefer). so props to the dev for figuring that part out and here's to hoping the rest of the bugs get worked on the S10 (and my S10+). it seems to be working for other devices (I originally found it here for the oneplus)

you need to disable edge lighting in setting to use this app or else it will conflict since this app does wake up the screen while edge lighting is not.
if u enable both that mean this app waking up the screen, then edge lighting will also showing (coz edge lighting while screen is on is applied). you will have both notification then

thanks! Not sure if it was changing that setting that helped, or their recent update I got yesterday, but the weird behavior has seemed to subside for a bit... I'll give it a few more days of testing to see if I can find anything else weird, but so far so good. I might also try swapping out the default color with individual colors for each app soon. Glad the dev seems to be open and receptive to feedback and willing to keep his app updated to fix various bugs found
The Reminder Notification Option
Has anyone successfully gotten the reminder option to work? When used, this is supposed to repeat the notification lighting for a brief period, if a notification had been unanswered for a period of time (30 or 60 seconds - I think). However, I could not get that to work - or at least replay the lighting. incidentally, I notice that Sakitech did not "fully" demo this feature in his Youtube tutorial. He mentioned it (at about 6:08), but did not show it working, I suspect (only speculating...) that he edited it out of the video because it does not work properly.
If anyone has the right settings for **** please share.

Thanks! The only setting I have differently is "double top to close" instead of "swipe up to close". Otherwise, I have been using these exact settings . As usual, at the moment that the screen should display the reminder, all that happens is the phone vibrates, but the light is not illuminated or display any visible interaction with the AOE lighting app.

Yeah, I see what you mean. My app as well will not work properly. I don't know what is going on? I have reached out to the developer and still not able to resolve the issues. The app starts out good but then goes rogue after awhile. I thought it was good lock messing it up but I was wrong. I give up for now.

Try turning off the "Manually only when I want it, I open the app". Also change the "When a notification comes" "And screen is off" to "Always off or on". Be sure you have turned off the Edge lighting in your phone settings.
What I was finding is when a notification would come in, it would light up the screen for a second and this would cause the app not to show the notification because I set it to "And screen is off" condition causing several notifications, if not all, to make the app not work. Once I changed to it to either/or, it has been working great for me. Hope this helps
Maybe it's a common issue but I haven't found any info when searching about it.
I have a P11 Pro, and since I got it, I have always been having the same issue with the tablet waking up on its own quite often, randomly, or even sometime refusing to go back to sleep.
I disabled any setting that might waking it up (tap to wake, move to wake...), and disabled several apps, but it changes nothing.
It's especially annoying since when I don't use a screen lock, with the 5 minutes stay on time I set, it keeps waking and empty the battery quite fast.
Using a screen lock reduce the issue as the tablet goes back to sleep quickly, but still doesn't solve the problem. And I don't want to use screen lock when I use the tablet at home.
Does any you know that issue, or how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
Do you have a keyboard attached or some Bluetooth devices like mice?
Does it have a built in sensor for lid close and open when used with the original keyboardcover? That might be causing the issue then.
Did you try a factory reset?
Is the latest system update installed?

Nothing connected.
Yeah the lid has a sensor, but it does it even when I remove the cover completely or when I leave it closed and not moving.
Yes I did several factory reset, update of the firmware, and yes I'm on the latest one.
As far I can understand, a process on the tab itself is waking up the tab randomly, I just can't put my finger on which app/function does it.

Nothing visible there either, the app that keeps waking up the tab isn't necessarily taking any battery.
I didn't mention as it is very visible from my profile, but I'm not a beginner with android, very far from it, if I'm asking here it's because I already tried all the obvious things
I am asking if anybody has the same issue and/or was able to fix it. If not, I guess it's just my unit.
You might try this
The command like this:
adb shell dumpsys batterystats --checkin
provides a statistic for wakeups, including the reasons.
Mine wakes up. Can't figure out why either but then I'm not by any means an Android ace. I turn the screen off then after some period of time it'll turn back on. Nothing in the notifications bar the screen just turns back on for no apparent reason. So yes, it is happening to someone else but no answer as to why.

I'm sad to say that you were right, the magnetic cover was at least partially to blame for the wake events. That's a huge bummer, since I guess there is no way to fix the issue

I said that notifications must not wake up the tablet and it did not appear anymore.
I know there was no notification, but it worked for me.
(in fact, sometimes, I had the impression that a notification appeared for a very short time)

Interesting, I'll try that too, thanks
I have the plus not the pro but check if near to wake up is on under the AI Experience Center in settings.

Everything is disabled there.
But I am quite convinced it comes from the smartcover, as since I enterily removed it, I don't have the issues anymore and the battery lasts weeks (with light usage) instead of 2 days like before.
Issue is that there is no way to disable the smart cover magnet...

That is probably it. I just thought I'd offer I had similar happen and had accidentally turned that on so it was turning on every time anything moved near it.

Thanks, that indeed makes sense.
And I really wish it was just that.
I'll try again with the smart cover to see if I can do anything about it.
It's the official magnetic cover so it's a huge bummer that it causes issues...

Hi, I was looking for a solution to the waking up of the screen. In the ¨AI Experience Center¨ there is an option called ¨automatically screen light-up¨. I turned this off, because it said that if sensor detects a face, the screen lights up, and also "other" objects can trigger this screen light up. I suppose the cover is detected while closed. Other object in the range of 0.5m can also trigger this light up. Also deactivated the notifications icons in the status bar, if not doing this, it continues to light up the screen in my P11.
Mine does the same thing...just sitting there and all of a sudden the screen lights up.
Solution:
Settings -> Display -> Lock Screen -> When to show
Turn "new notification" off
