Hi guys,
In my opinion, the notification LED blinks way too slow in Atrix... I used "Blink" application from the market when i had Froyo to change that but it doesn't work in Gingerbread
Does anyone know how to change that notification LED blink rate for received SMSs? Any working applications or configurations?
Thanks in advance
Try Lightflow

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work...
The flashing speed for lightflow "fast" is the same as Gingerbread stock notification, i need it much faster since i always leave my phone in silence mode when i am at work...
Any other options?

Why not leave it to always on or something ... tho I feel that's pretty fast... doubt you will find faster...

I fear always on may burn the LED...
I had a much faster rate with "Blink", but it doesn't work with Gingerbread... It was about two times faster!
What about Handcent? I know you can adjust the blink rate on notifications as a whole or per contact...
I was looking for a way to control LED colors. Thanks for the tip in LightFlow. Just set it up and it works great! Now when I see green I know what the notification is versus before it could be anything.

It works quite well yes... but you may want to watch out for battery drain since it tends to cause partial wakelocks... just observe for a few days... if your still happy with battery no need to worry... if its draining... you know what's causing it...

Never used blink so wouldn't know... and well... I highly doubt the led will burn out... they tend to have very long lives... if it burns I would prob say just really bad luck... its not a bulb afterall, its a LED... Not to mention the BLN app which is used on the galaxy s and galaxy s2 for the backlight leds of the softkeys to come on for notifications is based off that due to lack of any actual notification LED...
But its your call... I would just say look around for if keeping those leds on constantly will cause any harm... if not... go for it...

Good looking out. Will I see LightFlow in my battery stats as the culprit? Im stock OTA GB still with a out 22-26 hours between charges. Ill report back after a couple days. I setup a bunch of notifications.

It didn't show up on battery stats but did show up on Better Battery Stats as it doesn't cause a direct drain, but keeps the phone awake which leads to the system draining in general...

Coming from an Atrix and still on the fence about purchasing the GS2...has anyone used BLN on the AT&T GS2? Does it work well? Does it light up the 4 buttons? Display a bouncing icon on the screen? Any effects on the battery life?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Bln does not crash the phone and works well. However the one dev who has used it said it is messing with the deep sleep cycles, so he postponed the kernel support until later. Last I heard he said he'd work on it in a few weeks.

That would be me. Correct - unlike the nightmare of trying to get BLN working on the Infuse, the BLN commits from Ninphetamine worked well on our device without causing random crashes like BLN did on the Infuse.
However, as you said, BLN also completely inhibited deep sleep when the light was on, which means massive battery drain. I lost 50% overnight instead of <10%, and BLN didn't kick in until 2 hours into that test. To me, this is completely unacceptable, so BLN has dropped down in my priority list due to no longer being "low-hanging fruit".
In general, the priority for many devs are:
1) Critical features and fixes that MUST be in even at high cost in terms of development time, effort, and testing - CWM, things that cause crashes or SoDs, excessive battery drain, etc.
2) "Low-hanging-fruit" - relatively minor or unimportant features that are easy to implement and can sometimes serve as nice breaks from working 1)
3) Minor features that are a pain in the ass to implement - after my first test, BLN dropped from category 2 to this category.
I guess it's No Led for a bit then....bleh. When Im at work...I could care less about drain when in at the desk where my phone is plugged in. I do however need a visual notification to keep sound from disrupting the environment.

I am with you. I work in a noisy shop and don't always hear it if I get a text or email but my phone sits on my tool box where it can be easily be seen. This was one of my favorite features on my Cappy.
just picked up my gs2, over from an atrix. Love this phone so far. Screen is sick !
Anyways, any insight on no led? I really miss my notification light. Im pretty sure i could save some bettery this way as well.
Thanks

noLED is known for being a pretty big battery hog - after all, it keeps the phone awake all the time.
Unfortunately, while on the I9000, BLN didn't hold a permanent wakelock that inhibited device sleep, on our devices, it does. So BLN is almost as bad as noLED in terms of battery drain, which is why I haven't implemented it in my kernel.
In a week or so I may put it in for those who are willing to live with the drain.

Sorry if this has already been asked, as I know I have seen you provide the above info about BLN countless times.
If it works on the i9100 (did you mean the i9000 [original Galaxy S] or i9100 [Galaxy S II]?) Would it work without the battery drain on Perception?

Hi there fellas using s3 like me its been 2days since i've bought this beast and i really wanted to know if using smart stay and keeping bln on does affect the battery much or not, as i couldn't come up to the conclusion yet. So what do you guys think who have owned this phone for some time now??
Smart stay affects battery consumption.
Well it affects battery file but not to the point that it drains the battery. Plus its a very useful feature
Some, but negligible affect on overall battery life.
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda premium
whats "bln"?
Back Light Notification a thing of the past with S3... think op is thinking of notification led...
I guess i'll have to agree with you guys because i kept it on for a day and off the other, there wasn't any noticable difference
Yes and no, if you constants get text messages / notifications then the BLN might have an effect on battery, same as if you stare at the screen for a long time the Smart stay might have an effect but in general compared to other apps,etc i wouldn't think it's what one would deem to be a big problem.
It's hard to tell since I've only had the phone since for 2 days and have been using it constantly, but I think it may be a light load on the battery. I had one instance already where it think it was wake-locking the phone. (seen using betterbatterystats)
I will report back later after I have investigated a little further. It may not even be worth it to me...I'm pretty well trained in turning off my screen immediately after I use it, I don't let it time out on its own.
OK here is the official SGS2 I777 Battery saving thread. I don't mean to be a culprit and post "another battery saving thread", but I am. So get over it. This thread is meant to maintain the battery savings threads, all in one place. INCLUDING: Battery savings tips, philosophies, and other methods of efficiently managing the charge that your battery witholds. Since I searched through basically all of the 17 pages in both the I777 and regular SG2 to collect all this. NOTE: THIS THREAD IS NOT MEANT TO ADDRESS BATTERY DRAIN PROBLEMS OR ANYTHING OF THE LIKE. DO NOT POST YOUR PROBLEMS HERE. This is simply a collection of what I found to be the most essential threads and information regarding efficient use of battery charge and battery savings. I'll update this every few months, or as I see fit. I don't see things changing much since the way a battery works, and our android os will be relatively similar over the years.
I realize that people looking for this information could just go through all the threads like any other xda troll would be the first to point out, but I also recognize the noob community for this phone (I was once there myself) and would like to be helpful in providing it all in one place to prevent others from wasting their time, whether deserving or not

THE TWO THINGS THAT KILL YOUR BATTERY THE MOST:
Super AMOLED Screen: Now it's all apparent to us at this point that android screens (S-amoled's) kill very large amounts of battery. You will save copious amounts of battery if you do not use your screen as much, hence why half of the people posting their battery stats have screen on like once an hour for half a second. They basically don't use their phones.
Data/Radio: Ever notice that when you put your phone on airplane mode before you go to bed, when you wake up it's only gone down by about 1%? That's because you're not getting any service, and have no data coming in. Believe it or not, the phones hardware is pretty efficient. CPU's don't use very much idle power at all, and I expect that to stay the same, even with quad-core processors coming out. It's mostly the over air things (and screen ) that kill our battery. Data itself uses a **** ton of battery. On a daily basis (And I've tried just about all the roms; CM7,CM9, MIUI (GB and ICS), SammyTW ones, etc.) I use a considerable amount of data. I try to have my data on most of the day since I get facebook notifiations and send/receive MMS's, but on the days where I have it off for a couple hours I start to notice, damn, my battery is still pretty high
EDIT: Using Edge/2G saves a lot of battery if you're someone who needs data on most of the day. I recently switched to instead of intermitedly turning data on and off, just having Edge on all day (for notifications) and then switching to 3G when I needed to browse or use maps, etc. Idle usage of Edge vs. 3G is probably around 40% less battery consumption (my opinion), it works really well for me.
PHILOSOPHIES:
If you want to compare your own battery life with others to get a better idea about things, check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498303&highlight=undervolt
Juice Defender + others: I am a fan of this application. I used to use it for the first couple months I had the phone and it made a significant difference (mostly because of data deactivation). It makes 20-35% difference in savings from having not micro-managed anything yourself to then using the app. There are other variations of JD, GreenPower, Battery Booster, etc.

Fast Dormancy effects the trafficway in which your data makes it to your phone, both effecting the speed at which is arrives, and the battery it consumes while doing so. Check out this thread:

Underclocking and Overclocking: These are ways of tweaking your CPU usage. Underclocking is known for when you limit the maximum frequency, your CPU can clock to. So in laymans terms, what that transaltes to is your 1.2 GHz (1200 MHz) processor, can be changed to a 0.8 GHz (800 MHz) processor, if you were to underclock it to 800 Mhz. This is helpful to some almost completely dependant on your usage.
More elaborate, drawn out explanation: While your phone is idling, or sitting with the screen off, it is sitting at 200 MHz (lowest default - if you go lower than that your phone can become unstable [screen not turn on, etc.]), so underclocking won't help you improve battery usage much if you just keep your phone off most of the day. Undervolting would help more with that. if you however, find that you play lots of games, or mindless swipe across homescreens all day confused, or perhaps photo editing apps, or other things that use the maximum cpu frequency; then you will find that having your phone underclocked to 800 MHz, forces your cpu to work less during those heavy maintence situations, but in turn, prevents heavy battery drain. What this translates to in daily use: If you play angry birds, your phone's cpu might be jumping up to 1200 MHz (depends on your kernel settings - usually it's set to ondemand, in which case it will do so) during those swipes when the bird flys across the screen. However, that is not a very cpu intensive action, so if you were underclocked to 800 MHz, you probably wouldn't see any difference (lag, stutters) in your game play. However, if you were playing a 3D defense game, or esentially any other 3D game which requires you to scroll around the map, or has many many things on the screen at once (beyond fruit ninja and angry birds), then you would notice a difference in performance due to underclocking. I mention all of this because underclocking will be most effective during those situations, but it can also be the most hindering, in those same situations. All depends on how you're using your phone and what you're trying to achieve, while maintaining a certain level of quality.
Overclocking works the opposite, if you are trying to reach a certain level of performance (you just downloaded a new 3D MMO dungeon defense game and your phone is jittering and laggy during gameplay), beyond your default 200-1200 MHz clocked cpu, you may overclock up to 1600 MHz (some devs don't like you doing it - because it is essentially quite harmful for your cpu if used for a longer period of time), also depending on the kernel (again, devs created them) you may not be able to overclock, but on the majority you can.
To Underclock you will need an app called SetCpu (or equivalent) in order to change your over-underclock rate, as well as the scaling of your kernel (ondemand, performance [max frequency, all the time], conservative, etc.), also some roms have clocking options built in (such as AOKP).

AMOLEDs are supposed to be more energy efficient than LCDs I thought. That being said, I think one problem might be that many users of the former tend to keep their screens very bright because they are such a beauty to look at. I get what I think is good battery life by adjusting the brightness of my screen down when on battery only and by fine-tuning auto brightness settings.
One of the nice things about the S-AMOLED screen is that when it shows blacks, it's not using pixels. Pixels are actually turned off for the blacks. You can get further battery saving by using darker themes and inverted apps. Of course, that's not to everyone's liking. Me, I tend to like darker, tending towards minimalist screens as opposed to bright, busy ones, so it's a win for me.

First, in reading my paragraph I was speaking of JD's helpfulness in relation to not micro-managing (turning off data, etc.) anything yourself. In this case JD helps a lot....
Second, I didn't bash any part of our AMOLED screens, but they use a lot of battery...idk anything about how they compare to other screens, and idc...that has nothing to do with my post. We all have I777's, and that's the way it is, so I'm not too concerned of other screens.
I will say, that in light of reading most of your comments (which are found everywhere) , evidently, that you do at least make a good point, most of the time.

Yes data drains battery. If you are rooted (I hope you are since you are reading this on xda), you should get Droidwall. It's a firewall for your phone which limits certain apps to use network data, wifi data, or neither. Useful if you are also a little bit paranoid :silly:.
Another amazing app I also use is called llama. It is similar to tasker but it's free. This app allows me to set profiles and actions based on location (antenna mast instead of GPS to save battery) and other triggers. Not sure how ICS manages BT and Wifi scanning but those things use to drain my battery under GB so I got into a habit of toggling them on/off. Llama can do it automatically for me because I am lazy or sometimes I forget to.
I think any phone screen can be a big battery drainer if left on long and are set really bright. I have a habit of hitting the power button after I am done using it as opposed to just letting it shut off by itself.

They are more efficient than LCD's, and I made no notion to say they weren't. I simply said that they were one of the two main culprits of battery drain. I'm not saying our phones suck cus they have AMOLED screens, it's actually awesome. I'm just saying, like any other phone, having the screen on lot is going to kill your battery.
Yeah on stock (rooted after a month) I used to use auto-brightness most of the time, and sammy's auto seems a little brighter than necessary by default (so I'd keep it on 40% some days). But after switching around to different rooms (before I started tweaking auto-brightness) having brightness at what I'd actually consider an adequate level, versus a little bit brighter makes a huge difference. When the screen looks just a little too dull in all situations it really takes away from the experience hah
Also, I know black pixels are technically off on AMOLEDS, but I've noticed on many occasion when using in a room with no light on at night (pitch black, essentially) that when rebooting and hitting the yellow triangle screen (mostly black) you can see the black area of the screen. It's not completely black. It's definitely a very real looking black, but it still looks like there's a backlight behind the screen. Is that the case? Can anyone confirm?

While it may not have anything to do with your post, per se, I think it's a good idea for people to be educated about our screens since many *are* coming from the LCD world and some of the rules they're used to don't apply. And some of those rules very definitely have an effect on battery life, like the rendering of blacks that I mentioned above.

That is the case with LED screens. In a mostly black scene, the individual pixels for the black area are not lit, however there is still a backlight lighting the screen itself which you may see bleed through. This is of course assuming the phone LED works at least somewhat similarly to a TV.

I agree wih your comments vanillacracker. On a gb rom if I disable auto sync it helps me a lot wih battery life because he signal is really awful at my work. So I guess if the signal is bad it tries to sync amd keeps doing it for a long time whih really drains the battery. Disabling background data helps even more but I like to get my emails so I do not.
Sammy based roms are the best wih auto brightness quickness. Aosp roms are always slow to react. I hate when I step outside and the screen takes for ever to adjust. But the sammy based roms also have high default brightness as you mentioned.
Ps: do not feed the trolls. Just report them.

I will agree with you on most of your points and yes you are correct about the signal, the worse your signal is the more it affects the battery. Also, tasks aokp has the option now to change the reaction speed so if you like aosp but hate the reaction speed that is an option.

Ohh alright that makes a lot of sense then. Thanks a lot, that was really helpful for me! Yeah cus in the completely black screen sometimes I can see the little splotches that look like it's where the backlight is squished against the screen or something. I noticed the marks are in a different spot on my current I777 than they were on my old one (replaced cus power button stopped working). Yeah it would make sense that AMOLED's came around the same time LED's started getting more popular in TVs too (few years ago), pretty baller technology for a phone! I'm loving it haha

I disagree with you that Juice defender does not improve battery life. I am aware that obviously running an app in the background (Juice defender in this case) uses battery. But if the app is disabling your data (data uses battery..more than the juice defender app uses) then it's not possible for it to not increase battery.....just logic there. Anyway I'm sure there's been reports that say it does and does not increase battery, it's been obvious to me that it does, and it's logical to assume it does (if you know what I'm addressing) too. So I'll say to each their own. I do not wish to argue about things anymore, I will not edit my thread to your liking, you may simply dismiss that tip if you'd like.
I do not care about a report, I'm sure most people see the way I act and understand my reasoning. I probably overreacted a bit to your initial response , I've edited my accords. :cyclops:
BTW, VC, thanks for the compilation. Hopefully it will prove useful to folks!

I disagree with you that Juice defender does not improve battery life. I am aware that obviously running an app in the background (Juice defender in this case) uses battery.

I will agree with you on most of your points and yes you are correct about the signal, the worse your signal is the more it affects the battery. Also, tasks aokp has the option now to change the reaction speed so if you like aosp but hate the reaction speed that is an option.
How exactly was I trolling? I know you're referring to me, I made a criticism of two points out of the entire thing and he tells me I'm a troll and that I need to take an anti depressant. What exactly did I do wrong?

Dude.....no offense but your first post was pretty disrespectful....hence my comment. However your quoted post was very useful. I believe in one thing...you give respect you get respect.
Now...getting back to the topic....good point about tasks rom....I did try it out but frankly speaking it is still not at par with sammy base roms wih regards to auto brightness. It does rock otherwise.
I am currently on ktoonsezs MIUI port (love that guy. No homo)....and m pretty happy with the auto brightness

If the only thing which is holding you from using aokp is the auto brightness, there is a flashable zip in the fluxxi thread which gives great settings.

That is the case with LED screens. In a mostly black scene, the individual pixels for the black area are not lit, however there is still a backlight lighting the screen itself which you may see bleed through. This is of course assuming the phone LED works at least somewhat similarly to a TV.

OLED screens do not have a backlight. That is one of the things that make them much more power efficient than LCD. The pixels themselves in an OLED display generate light.
