Hi all,
I Baught the S6 EDGE PLUS in replacement of my Note 3.
With both I have the Official SView Cover (with the small window).
with my Note 3, the notificaiton led is working while the cover is closed; so I made a small hole to have a consistant notification via the colored led.
:crying: With my S6 EGDE PLUS, The led is not lighting at all while the cover is in place (open or close), so I have no way to know if I have a message or any notification, exept by powering on the screen. This is a big regression!!
Is anybody have the same situation?
How to have an other notification method?? (lightning led, flashing screen, flashing edge???)
Thanks in advance.

Try using a 3rd party Notification LED app like Light Flow. May not work if the Samsung is overriding the LED settings on cover closure.
Not sure how useful it would be, but you can also try apps like Dynamic Notifications as an alternative which would put the AMOLED to good use. I never used it so I'm not sure if it can really replace the notification LED.
Thanks for your reply.
I already tried such apps, as well as the both you propose.
Sadly, it do not solve the situation.
It looks like Samsung shut off the led as soon as the sview is put on.

Too bad. I really like my phones with an LED notifier and I use a non-flip case so it works out well. They definitely should have kept some kind of indicator in an official flip cover though!
I agree.
Finaly à remove my sview cover.
That's crazy to pay for a full features phone, and pay for a case to protect it and loose all the interesting ones.

I'm wondering if it's possible and/or if anyone has a way of changing the colour of the LED's under the touch keys on the Galaxy S4.

As LS.xD said, changing the colour of touch keys is not possible
If you want to change led's color use Light flow light, get it from play store for free
This is your best bet!
I just got my phone back from the repair shop, they were replacing my front glass. When getting my phone back the man told me he made some 'goofs', one of which was actually a wire pleasant surprise! He forgot to take some sort of film off the back of the button portion of the glass, and it ended up turning my buttons blue! Although dimmer, this setup may be what you're looking for. Get your glass replaced and ask them to leave the film intact on the back of the button section (get the top one removed so it won't interfere with the notification light). Good luck!

yes, it's behind the speaker grill.
Good to know. I was comparing it to my Note2 on PhoneArena and they didnt list that as a feature. I was thinking it didnt have it and how much I hated that on my Droid Charge(?). Thanks for the info.

It's really small though. I'm coming from the Droid Razr HD so I'm used to the nice light that phone had. This one is harder to see.

Yeah coming from other devices with LED this is by far the cheapest/most minimal looking. I went even as far to install the 3rd party active notifications app since I got used to it instead of the LED on the Moto X.
It's there. But it's not as bright as it was on the M7.
RGB LED Control Support?
Hey Guys,
Does the M8 support multiple color LED notifications, ie Blue for Facebook, White for SMS, Pink for e-Mail etc?
Generally you need to have Root and installed some Apk/app like 'LightFlow' from the play store.
Such a small feature but a big impact for me to be able to tell what notifications there are from a distance or in a meeting with out waking up the phone.
Im keen to buy a HTC M8 tomorrow if it supports this, if not ill wait for the S5 next week.
Thanks

Any HTC phone I've had uses only green and orange. It's the same for the M8.

yeah its at an odd place , two down and seven from the right lol (top speaker grill dots). Another thing I noticed is the orange charging/low power light is rather dim but the green notification light is very bright (compared to the other). Anyone else notice this?

Yeah, can't see the orange unless I'm looking at the phone dead on, but I can see the green from across the room.
Before buying this phone, I was well aware of the lack of (customizable) LED notification support with HTC, and it still didn't stop me. This phone makes up for it in so many ways. After using it for a while, I thought for sure someone would at least figure out how to choose between amber and green LEDs for notifications, or even a combination of the two, but it seems only green is allowed somehow. Lightflow didn't work for me either. What a pity, as my Moto Droid could do many colors.
Lightflow worked pretty well for me, currently not using it, but there is a thread around that has a pretty good setup proceedure. I just found that it had some quirks, so I'm back to stock. You can disable the timeout if you edit the default.xml

The stock LED light is pretty doing fine for me. Haven't tried the Lightflow yet for what I know, M8 has a limited colors for its LED light.
Am I missing something or is Samsung missing something? It would seem to me ONE of the big advantage of the "edge" is to see your notifications when the phone is laying on the table or a flip case is closed. So is there a setting to have the actual edge light up with notifications when the screen is off? I can rub the edge of course and swipe the panels to get to the notification panel but I want it to actually scroll like the news feed panels do. But when the screen is off and me not touching it.

Have you tried Augmented Smartwatch Pro, in conjunction with the Augmented Edge app? Works very well.

What does augmented edge do by itself without the smartwatch app? When I open it is just a black screen with banner on the edge

It shows music track information by itself - anything else requires the Augmented SmartWatch Pro app - opening on the Android phone does nothing.

It only shows a black screen with optional information on the edge part, even with the paid app you mention. This is sort of similar to what you would want/expect, but not really.
First of all it does not work when you close the official Samsung Note Edge cover, because that shuts off the screen. A proper solution needs to be integrated in the OS, either by Samsung or a very capable developer.
Personally I could not get anything useful (to me) on the Edge screen through these apps so I used the Refund option.

Let me ask you this out of my own ignorance. Is the flip cover different than my covering the phone's sensor with a piece of cloth? Or does it have magnetic sensors?

It is magnetic. It is like any normal flipcover but leaves room to show the Edge-part of the screen.
Its purpose is somewhat diminished because closing it turns of the whole screen. You can only get the Edge-bar to show by swiping up-and-down it. I hope someone is able to show the clock or which music is playing when it is closed and charging. An oversight by Samsung if you ask me.
Ok thanks. If the flip cover does disable the screen, then I suppose no app would turn it on... yet. That said, the apps I mentioned work for me. The entire notifications are displayed on the edge.. I don't have the flip cover, but when the screen goes to sleep, an alert would display on the edge just as it would on the status bar.
Any chance this will work on my s6 edge?
I was wondering why text messages weren't lighting up on the edge screen with screen off..using Google Hangouts. I think Samsung has failed miserably on support like this or even dev support from their Samsung store.

Ummmm... I get time on my edge all the time, not just when I swipe on it. I'll do some research and see if I can get it to light up on notifications. Might actually get off me lazy arse and write an app for it

Hi.
Just bought a original flip cover for my Note 2 . But it does not wake or turn of the screen.
Am i missing something in settings. Im on Xiaomi.EU 5.10.8 Weekly.
It sure has sensor that turn of screen when i hold it to my ear, so it should be possible (?)
After changing the launcher i really begin to like this phone.
Thanks

There aren't settings about it. The prossimity sensor work while you are phoning, it turn off the screen when is near the ear.
For change the launcher go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps > Launcher

Nope. I am not able to wake/turn of screen with flip cover so far.
Google Now launcher gives me the stock feeling i like, with app drawer etc.
And still have a lot of useful stuff in Miui os.
Had to flash Chainfires Supersu to change launcher and make it stick. Some trouble with permissions.
Did also uninstall a few annoying Chinese apps before i was happy with it.
Thanks

nice cover.
Try to install any smart cover apps from google play..
hope it work.

Hi.
There is a lot of apps that make you able to wake/turn off screen with flip cover.
But all of them uses to much battery, and screen turn off when its not supposed to.
This flip cover seems to clearly have an app involved.
The main reason for me to have this function is to save battery.
Both my Nexus 5 and 6 have flip covers that uses some kind of magnetic function.
Maybe this phone doesent have the right hardware and has to use the proximity sensor.
Just my guess.
Thanks
Knievel
Yes the flip cover uses the magnetic sensor and a custom app.
I don't see why the magnetic sensor should use less battery than the proximity/light ones...
So I will buy a normal flip case.
Thank you.
I dont think this phone has magnetic sensor
No magnetic sensor present in the RedMi Note 2
The Redmi Note 2 must have a magnetic sensor, because it's working with the magnetic button of my ColorCross 2 virtual reality headset (I've taken this one because it's an open one, to prevent over-heating during games, but it's not the topic) on SwivelGun game (but it's better with à mini bluetooth gamepad).
To say, RN2 must have a magnetic sensor...

The magnetic sensor is like a mechanical switch, it doesn't need to be powered, but the proximity sensor needs to be powered to work...
Waiting for the same
I've enabled the required settings but my mobile does not respond to the (normal, without magnet) cover. I wished it used the proximity sensor, as done while calling.

I have been using "Gravity Screen - On/Off" app for years with my RN2 flip cover, it works like a charm.
I can recommend WaveUp.
It's free and open source; it works on Redmi Note 2 (at least with CyanogenMod 12.1) and you can install it via F-Droid or Play Store.
Hi
I am enable flip cover mode but by mobile restart now and it is now lock also not open pls help me.
On my S7 g930f the LED color is not white as it should be but kind of purple.
Yellow is a bit orange and green.
Blue, red and green are oke.
is this some faulty hardware in the S7?
Not heard of any issues like this before, though it could be because its shooting through the glass of the screen itself.
Have you tested any playstore 'notification changer' apps to see if they are any better? could be SW issue?
Will try that!
I thought I've red about one user with same problem but I can't find it anymore.

Gold version? I think it's normal.
I never had a pure white light from the phones, S4 to S7. I thought it was normal since they were merely combining other LEDs to create the white colour.
I've never seen a truly white LED either. Every S7 I've used upon which the white LED color was selected has looked more like a pale violet to me. I have an old motorola atrix here and for curiosity sake I've just checked its version of a white LED... it as well produces a pale shade of violet that's supposed to pass for white. So I'd say it's typical.
The S5 is almost pure white.
S6 is worse then S5 but way better then S7.
I did saw that light flow had an better white than WhatsApp white (which I use for white led)

Viber also has white color for notifications, and mine is pink, I use magenta for whatsapp, so I never know whether it's whatsapp or viber. That's how pink my white is!
But when it's only green, it glows ok. I think the problem is that the diode isn't centered well under the hole. I can see that my green diode is too much on the right side, I can see it glowing under the front panel paint.
Well that maybe correct.
When i look closely at the front camera that one isn't centered exactly in the middle of the hole!

I've found the same thing regarding the alignment status of the S7's front camera lenses. I've had a total of eight S7 phones in my possession and most of them had a significantly obvious misalignment of the front camera lens relevant to the position of its round port opening. The notification LED seems to suffer from this affliction as well to some degree. Out of the seven S7's I temporarily possessed prior to the one I currently have, only two of them had what I consider to be aesthetically pleasing front camera lens alignment - the one I have now is actually a bit off, but I've accepted it. And as I stated previously, every S7 upon which I tried the white LED (with both LightFlow and/or Light Manager, or simply from the notification provisions of individual apps) showed the pale violet color upon illumination. I thus think that Samsung may need to improve their quality control to some extent. I consider the alignment of components within an expensive device like an S7 to be a fairly important priority.
