Any idea when light flow and dashclock will be updated to work with 4.4 and the N5?

Lightflow works perfectly for me.

I'll give it a shot. The first several reviews say it doesn't work. Haven't personally tried it.

dashclock doesn't work on 4.4 & N5? Damn!

Lightflow works for me too

Dashclock works for me

for the guys who have light flow working, is your hangouts notifications working? everything works fine for me except hangouts.

Dash Clock works fine for me, but Lightflow doesn't seem to. The test option doesn't work. Is this the same for you guys who have it working otherwise?

I emailed the Lightflow dev. he said there are some hangouts issues, but he is working on fixing them ASAP. However, for my purposes it works fine. I just set all hangouts to one blinking color.
As for dashclock, how do I add it to a lockscreen? On 4.3 I had to create a new lockscreen and all that jazz, but I'm not able to do that on 4.4???
Edit: I know how to put the dashclock on a homescreen, but how do I place it on a lockscreen in 4.4.

Test works for me. All works except splitting up hangouts notifications and having the LED be "always on". Dev says he is working on it. Here is the message I got from him:
Hi
I'm working on it, although most things should already work. I know sms doesn't with the new Hangouts integration and the "always on" led doesn't work on the nexus 5.

Have you enabled lockscreen widgets? It's under security settings.

from the lock screen, pull down the default clock (this will enter the lockscreen setup), then swipe left to right, click on the + sign, select dashclock, pick extensions, press the TICK to save...then go back to step one and remove the default lockscreen (or add more)

Thanks, I forgot there was a lockscreen widget setting under security. Its odd.
Also, it looks like Light Flow works, unless you have any notification set to "always on." The devhas confirmed this and he said he has a workaround coming.

It doesn't work for me with stock options. Even deleted data and ran it again. Enabled/disabled/enabled the LED light in Android's display settings but no difference. There's something going on, with what seems an equal number of people reporting it's buggy or it plainly doesn't work, and people for whom it works well.

Doesn't work for me either, I've tried everything. It works when I do the test LEDs, but doesn't seem to work with any notifications. I don't have always on, but I have a custom interval for the pulsing, could that be the issue?

FYI sometimes "test" won't work but the app itself nevertheless works fine.
So don't assume that just because the test feature isn't working that the app itself is not working.

Anyone else have the notification light that doesn't stop blinking after a hangout notification, even if you clear the notification?
Driving me mad.

If it's purple, I know which one you're talking about. To fix it, disable SMS recieved notifications. You'll still get the light when receiving sms from Hangouts.

[Q] Disable S6 LED Charging Light

Does anyone know how to disable the red charging light on the S6 edge? I don't want to turn off LED notifications all together, just don't want that bright red charging light.

Try accessibility settings and turn on notification reminders I think that disabled the charging status.

Kind of a hacky work around but it totally works. Unfortunately I don't actually want notification reminders from all those other apps so I had to go through and turn them all off. Thank you!

Otherwise, just use Light Flow. It's great and let's you customize what colour each app has etc.

I was considering that but wasn't sure if LightFlow was working yet with the S6. Can anyone confirm that it does?

Sometimes the notifications would stay and not reset for mine on Telus. I'm using light manager and it's working great. I can't believe the lack of control for the LED on this phone...

Light Manager works for everything but charging status. I have contacts changed, call color changed, but for some damn reason the charging setting won't stick

Light flow actually works for charging status as well. I've set a red light with a custom interval of 50,10000. Basically keeps the light off.

I can't seem to fix this problem. None of the apps suggested here will turn off the stupid red light and the fix with notification reminder doesn't turn off the red light either. The only way I've found to get rid of the red light is to completely turn off the led light which isn't really a solution.

I have LightFlow installed and deleted the notification for charging. This made my light turn off when it's plugged in. If that doesn't work maybe set the notification, but set LED to off?

I used Light Manager. I hated both the charging and charged function. I Enabled the LED for both. Go to the Color selection and make a custom color. When you go back out to the HEX code selection, type in all Zeros. Should be Black. Save and test. Should make it go all quite.

I have the exact opposite situation: I would like to turn off all notifications LEDS but have the charge red/charged green light on (on my S6). I'm using Light Flow, is there an easy way to do this without manually setting it up for each individual app?

I came to the same solution as ChroniclesOfRedick:
Setting a custom color with 0x000000 and Priorty Low for the Charged Battery ist the trick with Light Manager!
Works with galaxy S7 and Android 7.

LED notifications

Anybody tried LightFlow or any other apps to control the notification LED?

They work if that's what you're asking. Light Flow and Light Manager are the two I tested. Definitely prefer LF of the two.

Light manager seems to work for sms but not email. Always on also does not show email notifications. Arg!

LightFlow is not working for me. Did you enable the LED in the display settings and did you enable or disable the workaround for Samsung?

I have been emailing the dev for light manager. in order to get it to work, you need to turn on the 5.1 workaround in the apps settings and you have to let it wake the screen for notifications. then the led colors work correctly. one thing that does break is you can not longer expand the gmail notifications in the notification pull down shade. he said he doesn't have an S7 yet to test on but is getting one.

LED Blinker Work correctly

I didn't install light manager yet. I'm just using signal for SMS and changing color of LED in its settings. inbox is blue and I guess missed calls would be the same blue default. Works for now. Also charging is red by default and green I think when charged...

Yes LED Blinker works. I have tested under S7. And many customers told me, too.
Just enable workaround 5.1.1 in app settings (its needed for Android 6, too sadly).

Same here. (With Light Manager) So it seems to be a hardware/model related issue.

Needed screen on for me too (for Gmail at least, some apps worked okay - Handcent/Whatsapp). Which I didn't really want to use but it's better than nothing at this stage.
Ah, sorry, it's Light Manager I used - I was trying a few and got confused!

Ok then what now? Do we return it to samsung and ask for a good one or just live with it??

LED Blinker works, but has the same problem that all of the other LED notification programs have....The Gmail notification icon in the status bar will not auto clear after reading email. It must be cleared manually. Light Manager does the same thing, and according to the developer, it is an issue with Android 6.0

you have to disable the light/led in all apps you use, gmail doesnt have such option, use google inbox instead.

Thanks, but I use Google Apps, with multiple email accounts, so Google Inbox really doesn't work well for my use.

LED notification light not working (WhatsApp etc.)

Hi guys,
I received my honor v10 yesterday and I haven't been able to get the LED to work for my preferred apps (WhatsApp, Type Mail...).
When charged, the LED works just finde. For example I configured WhatsApp to show a green LED when a notofication is incoming. But it just doesn't work.
I even tried some LED managing apps (lightflow, led manager, led blinker) - it doesn't work either.
Someone knows a fix resp. has the same problems?

When phone is unlocked or screen is lit up on lock, i noticed the led doesn't blink but as soon as screen light goes off, led blinks

Now it works. I forgot to turn on the LED notification in the system settings (the box wasn't checked...).

Customize Notifications?

Hey all,
I'm so used to all the features of Light Flow that I didn't realize how much I depended on it. Since the 3 does not have an LED, I'm looking for an alternative app to manage my notifications. I want to be able to choose the notification sound and the vibration pattern per app.
Light Flow does this but not without requiring a persistent notification. Normally you'd be able to avoid this by installing Light Flow Legacy, but it does not show up in the app store on the Pixel 3.
Does anybody have any recommendations?
Thanks

Go to apk mirror and download light flow legacy that way. Let us know how it goes. I really hate the lack of notification LED, but I'm not willing to go as far as you to customize the vibrations etc.

Already tried this. It doesn't seem be on there.

I've been using Light Manager. It displays customized colored icons on the screen in place of the LED, with AOD turned off. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would.

I tried it and it looks like the default lock screen prevents the icons from displaying. Do you have your screen set to stay off when new notifications come in or is there something else you changed in either the app or system settings? Sorry for hijacking the thread with all the questions, but this lack of LED makes my phone useless while the screen is off.

Yes I have always on display off, and new notifications off. Double tap and lift for notifications I still have on though.

What other settings do you have? My phone isn't waking up with Light Manager with AOD/new notifications off and double tap/lift for notifications on. I do not have a lock screen enabled nor does it work with lock screen (swipe) enabled.
The "tests" aren't working either.

That got it working. I have to tap the screen once, home/back button then shows, then double tap to get to the home screen.

Yeah I use fingerprint unlock and realize it requires it being done twice. We need a cleaner solution.

A cleaner solution was the $0.03 LED that Google removed from the phone! It shouldn't be this hard to tell if my phone is charging.
If I wanted a useless notification system, I would've purchased an iPhone!
