Is there a way to not have the led indicator on the side flash when emails arrive? I keep my tablet in a cradle on my nightstand and the flashing light wakes me up in the middle of the night if an email comes in. I've tried everything I can think of.
Thanks,
Roger
Turn off wifi?
Light Flow app on the Market.
Light Flow worked great. Thanks
Roger
If memory serves me correctly there is a setting somewhere which was something like
"Turn off notifications until......"
Not with the tablet at the moment but I'll double check later.

Yes there is such option during email account set up but I can't find it after set up.
I have a question regarding the LED, too:
Is it a multicolor LED, so can I change the color using Lightflow for notifications (calender, email...)?
Thanks

Light Flow in market. Lite version is probably adequate.

It seems that the Turn off notification only appears during account set up. So you can delete the account and turn off the notification during account re-set up.

To clarify, yes, it is multicolour but not all the colours in Light Flow line up exactly with what colour the Sony displays. Red colours particularly seem to be displayed much lighter than usual on the Tablet.
Thanks for clarifying this!
Hi all,
I've noticed there are several different LED colors that appear for notifications.
Was just wondering if anyone had figured out which color corresponds to which notification?
Because sometimes the light is blue, green or white? Can't decide which color is for what
Thanks guys

There is not much informations on that page.
When you plug the charger, led will red if battery level is btw 0 and 90%, above 90% its green (even at 100, it still show green-i dont like that).
When you download any app on market, led will blink...
The notification LED can be controlled based on what the app wants. FB can make a blue LED, Whatsapp and general notifications are green, charging is yellow, fatal errors are red, white I've seen on different apps, so it really depends on your app usage. You can't control it directly though settings or anything.
Thanks all for your answers.
Does anyone know of an app in the market which enables you to take control of the LED color? So I can set the LED to flash a set color for certain apps?
Thanks again everyone.
Light Flow works, but you gotta go into
General settings for the app and enable "Direct Mode"
It also asks for root and accessibility settings enabled, but it does work

my phone is xperia tipo ICS 4.0.4
I am new to android and dont know anything about rooting,rom,flash and other stuff of android.
can you advise me a efficient and a easy way to solve this problem.
Not: can i downgrade from ICS to Ginger Bread ???
Just bought (and about to return) the HTC One M8 because the LED notifier/blinker is a shocker. It is very small, only has Red, Green and Blue (!!) and no apps like LED notifier can manipulate it.
My old S3 was great and had a lovely big LED blinker but am considering the Z2 as I fancy a change. Can someone please reassure me that the LED is big, has all the colours and will work with an LED app?
Thanks.
Or maybe an S5...
I'm not sure but I think the Z2's LED can only display green and red, I hope I'm wrong

I have orange and blue also but have not figured out a way to assign a specific color to a specific type of notifications (like blue for SMS, Orange for email...).

You should be able to change it with an app. Try out Light Manager? Some of the changes require root, but not all.
I've tested out mine via the test menu. It's able to output R,G,B there. It would make sense that it is possible for the phone to mix those colours to display other colours (like the orange and purple that some system events use) but I've been unable to get it to show using LightFlow.
I see a lot more colors than R,G,B on my z1 and zl (purple from yahoo mail, white from gmail for example). So there is no reason z2 notifier will output only those three colors
Could someone be so kind as to test it with LED Manager or Light Flow? It's really simple. Select the app, the colour and then test it. Appreciate any that could this. About to buy but need all the colours!

There's blue for sure. Seen in many videos. There's no yellow?
But yes, its quite large. Another thing I love about the Z2. Its the second largest in current flagships after Oppo Find 7.

There are LEDs for each of the 3 primary colours (red, green and blue) and those are mixed in different intensities to show other colours. :cyclops:

Really appreciate you doing this. I'm afraid that rules the Z2 out for me then which is a shame as I fancied a change. S5 it is then.
Using WhatsApp, the LED was able to display the notifications in different colours. So far I have used yellow, green, cyan and purple.

CYAN <3 Sorry, but I just had to do this.
The Z2 indeed can display other colours etc like Pink/Yellow/Orange/Lime etc etc..
Tested using Lightflow.
Only down is, you can't use it together with the "Extended Standby" feature with STAMINA mode as that will disable any fiddling with the LED notification.
Yup.. I'm using LightFlow. Works well.. I got blue for SMSes, red for miss calls, green for whatsapp and purple for viber.
The LED is nice and big enough for viewing... however it sits below the level of the front glass, right where the top speaker slit is. If your phone faces you parallelly, you'll be seeing the LED well enough. If you have your phone lying on your desk in front of you and when you are looking at the face of the phone at an angle, you might just miss it.
Cheers.
i thought the sony default light will overwrites the lightflow?
Hmm.. perhaps since LightFlow is turned ON under accessibility settings, it works?
i just tick every box in the settings... it seems to work.
I will be using the SCR10 style case when I get the phone - looking at the front flap of the case and the phone, I am guessing the LED notification should be visible with the case closed?
Has anyone got a picture or video of the P780 notification LED? What colour does the light flash and is it big and bright like a Samsung Galaxy Note II or small and tiny like a Huawei Ascend P6?
Looked on YouTube and lots of reviews but nobody showing the notification light.
Also, does anyone have a link to the full user manual? Can only find the basic one on the Lenovo website.

Thanks Jackal331. Does the LED work for email and WhatsApp? I have stock ROW_119 installed and the LED only lights for missed calls and sms. Can't get it to light with anything else and no apps (like Lightflow) work with it either.

So far, I tested the LED, it only works for Calls, SMS, WeChat, Charging mode, all other else doesn't lit up. (Facebook, LINE, KakaoTalk, WhatsApp, Gmail etc...)

Thanks Soralz. Which ROM are you using? Don't know why Lenovo disable WhatsApp and Email LED notification
Maybe notification LED is fixed in S123 ROM or future KitKat 4.4 upgrade.
I will test this and let you know, I don't make use of the led very much. Will test FB and Gmail, I'm on SLX rom, it has many tweaks also GravityBox maybe it works there dunno.
is the notification led really very dim? is there any 3rd party app that can control it?

The LED is not so dim but it is inside the earpiece so angles are not as good as a BlackBerry or Galaxy Note 2 which you can see from across the room. However, the P780 LED is bigger than the one in the HTC One which has a tiny LED like a speck of dust which is pretty much useless.
Because the LED is inside the earpiece, you can put a case on and still see notifications which is good. I think the LED is fine for brightness but the big problem is that it only lights up for missed calls and sms and charging. It doesn't light for emails or facebook or whatsapp and I haven't found any app that can even lit up the LED let alone control it.
There are some custom ROMs that can control the LED using Light Flow such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/aosp-rom-lenovo-p780-t2722977 and http://www.needrom.com/mobile/lenovo-p780-6/.
I will try Light Flow again tonight using the settings in those ROM, the LED must be controllable somehow, it's stupid having LED with no email or facebook or whatsapp notification
yes, email notification is a must for the led,
also notice it doesn't blink, just light up, what a waste

Don't mind if it doesn't blink, as long as it comes on, thats fine.
Ok, I downloaded Lightflow Lite from the Play Store to test and this works if you use the HTC direct mode in Lightflow settings. This makes the LED blink in test mode BUT if you switch the screen off, it stops flashing. I think there is a power setting somewhere to keep Lightflow active when the screen is locked but the app doesn't show in the Lenovo power app whitelist.
Also, with HTC direct mode, there is no choice of colours for the LED, you are limited to just green which is fine by me but definitely need to have the LED lighting up when the screen is off. Will continue playing around with it to see if I can get it working.
Just updated to stock 124 and the LED still doesn't work
Why don't Lenovo fix this simple thing? Samsung, LG, HTC, everyone lese has the LED lighting up on all events and Lenovo have to ruin a great phone by buggy implementation
Have been messing around the Lightflow and can confirm that Gmail works if you have root and HTC Direct mode enabled. Doesn't work at all with standard Lenovo Email app though.
is it possible to enable the light if a whatsapp message has arrived
is it possible to enable the light if a whatsapp message has arrived?
the light was hopeless
i use application like NoLed (free at gplay) to make a notification in the screen
it works and can be customised
another app like this is knock2, its free and also have a paid version

The light is not bright like a Blackberry and has no viewing angles but it's not at all bad, the good thing is that it is in the earpiece so you can still see it even with a cover on. I prefer a proper LED to something like NoLed which will switch on the whole screen to make a notification and drain the battery.

It has led notification, but the guys are talking about the back ROG logo illuminating for apps notifications not just when the X mode is enabled.

Does this mean it LED on the back works like the one on the Razer Phone 2. You can change the LED colour to match the application recieving the notifaction, Gmail (Red), Twitter (Blue), Snapchat (Yellow) kinda thing? it seems like they did not think about it and when Razer brought it up as a selling point / feature Asus then jumped at the idea to get their LED to do the same. Seems it would be an Asus Aura Sync app setting than in the OS when they do update it with this feature.
Is this confirmed or just a rumour?
Also it would be nice to have an option to have the LED light up when not in X Mode however again its not mega important but might be nice but can see it not being on much as the battery will drain so quickly.

Hi,
The first thing is being planned in an update, as far as I know not yet implemented (I sold my ROG phone, as the CN version was just too messy to work with).
The second thing is already available, you can set the lighting depending on different "scenarios".

You can use "Light Manager" app to change the led notification light to 3 colors only (red, green, yellow) i don't think it's possible to change to more than those colors no matter what app you use.
Personally i don't use any app to change led colors(mainly to save battery) because on most of the chat apps i can change the color to green within the app itself, on my email/messages apps i change it to yellow.
I used to change the missed calls to red but by default it's green. so i left it the way it is.
I see no options to set up with notifications any help let me know pleqse
New update version 1811.32_0 has arrived enabling Aura Lighting for calls and app notifications.

Here is the link to the LED/RGB post https://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=433&filter=typeid&typeid=2037
Please keep in mind LED Light (On the front of the phone) RGB Logo (On the back of the phone and fan accessory) The LED Light is fixed and no settings to change this where the RGB Logo can be changed with the latest firmware update which is live. If you are not getting the update keep manually scanning as it took me 5-10 tries to pull it down.
