Anyone having problems with theirs? Even with light flow I have problems. What settings are other people using to get light flow to work?

There was an update today for it that supposedly had N5 support but it did not work for me until I turned off the Foreground option. Also when running the test I had to turn the screen off.

Lightflow working fine for me, even before the update. I unchecked Foreground since I don't like the persistent notification, but no issues either way.
The only "issue" I found is that after the update you have to go back in and authorize LF to work with you Hangouts notifications again. After that, working great.

Cool, I'll check it out!

Hello I have had my NS4G for a month and through all the fun and excitement of unlocking and rooting it I noticed that when I get any type of notification that my LED lights don't come on at all. I actually don't think they ever did. Am I trippin or is it supposed to be that way lol.

Try a kernel with bln support as a workaround

Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036991
With BLN app from market.
Noled is another alternative. If you're interested in trying that (no special kernel required) I can give you the settings I found that work well. It took some trial and error to get them the way I like them.

Ok so I flashed a custom kernel using kernel manager but now I can't use wifi tether

Noled isn't that great of an app. For some reason when there is a notification, the soft touch buttons at the bottom of the phone stay lighted.
Also, the screen isn't pure black when the notifications come on. It has this greyish hue to it. Totally not liking the app.

I was wondering if there was an app/tweak that would allow me to select times where I'd like to see the blinking notification light.
For example, if I want to turn it off overnight so i don't see it blinking all night when those pesky emails come in.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

I haven't figured out a way to turn it off period. The only option I have checked is for the LED to be on while charging. Yet it continues to blink for notifications. I think there are some known bugs with the US models' LED.
There is an app called Lighflow led that is supposed to give you complete control over notifications and the led but they are having issues specifically with the gs3.

Check out tasker. Their page says it works. I couldn't get it to work on my phone but YMMV. It may be an issue with this particular model though.

If you don't go into the app that is causing the notifications and turn off led notifications it will still blink regardless of system settings.

I have Juice Defender set up to disable all data (including auto sync) at night. I don't get any notifications until I turn on the screen in the morning. I have Ultimate and I know that feature isn't in the free version, but it works for me.

I could be wrong but stock email and gmail apps don't appear to have that option yet the led blinks for both.

Unfortunately it requires root and tasker, but if you have these it has worked perfectly for me so far. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks. I keep making excuses for not needing tasker but it might be time.

Is it just me, or can nobody else get Light Manager to work properly? I've enabled access to notifications, but despite the fact I set WhatsApp to green and Facebook to blue, they both flash white.
Simply a bug in the app due to a new version of Android, or something more sinister?

Same here only see it all White Maybe Nexus 5 only have White Light?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
No, if you test a notification, the different colours all show up. I'm wondering if the way they have implemented notification access has changed slightly then, or if there is some kind of global override I can turn off....

Light Manager has never worked for me. It doesn't matter what color I assign apps on my Note 2, Light Manager just assigns them whatever color it thinks is right.
Give Light Flow a try. The N5 definitely has a multi-colored LED
Appreciate the suggestion, but Facebook and WhatsApp require the paid version to work, and I'm not paying to test it to discover they don't work on KitKat yet.

You should try Lighflow. See if that works better for you,
well try lightflow ... only get white notification light
I'm a derp. Nevermind.
Good evening/morning/afternoon/ beer o'clock to everyone,
So I like many users have been affected by the notification light not blinking for notifications. It worked for maybe half a day from what I can remember.
it was advised to install light manager or light flow and that seems to have fixed it . Why do we need a third party app to fix something like this though? Pulse notification is enabled in the settings too.
Edit: might have spoken too soon. Hangouts still appears to not notify me with the led.

Honestly, I'd give it a few weeks. This release was clearly rushed out. There are a lot of bugs and app crashes. Many of the third-party app developers will start updating since they also just got 4.4 in their hands.
Yeah its solved for now. I was just a bit taken back that a phone of this caliber with such a revered update would have such a trivial bug.

Hello guys ,
As youmay understand ,I'm new on Nexus devices.I wanted to use the Notification Light to inform me if there's something new or not.
I saw the Light Manager App which works perfectly . But the Light Flow (lite~premium) doesn't work .I just can't go with it , it looks promising but it doesn't work ,as it doesn't inform me for a notification ,nor if I press the test button ,it Simply doesn't work .
It looks great but it seems that I can't do it .Please someone out there help me or if you could give me your backup it'd be great thanks anyway

If LightManager works perfectly then what are you looking for in Light Flow? I'm using LightManager to control what color the notification light is for each different type of notification. If that's all you want to do then stick with what works.

Because Light Flow looks better and it has many more features ,one of them was Mixing the colours Red,Blue,Green (forgive me if I made a mistake on these colors)

Light Flow works for me but it has bugs. View the help website in the app and go to Nexus 5 page.

Light Flow works for the most part for me.
Only sometimes after SMS gets dismissed, notification seems to keep blinking, though may be a GO SMS thing, not reproduced it consistently enough yet.
I use this to set it up http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/2349
Lightflow worked perfectly on my Nexus 4 but on my 5 it's a little buggy. With the last update a couple days ago it's running much better though. I know the dev is working hard on getting all the bugs worked out and he's getting close. I'm using the paid version and I would recommend it because the developer is very responsive on a few of these threads and is actively working on making it better.
