S3 to G3 - Verizon LG G3

just picked up the G3 on sunday. i am pretty impressed. i have one issue, the notification light. the light itself is the size of the head of a pin.(so small!) and the light only blinks once every like 20 seconds it seems.
I tried light flow but it seems to blink even when there is no notifications and it leaves a constant notification in my drop down that just says "lightflow" which is a bother. even w/ that app the size of the notification dot is SOOOO tiny. anyone else frustrated by this. i mean the dimish screen i can deal w/ but having to wait 20 seconds and squinting to see if i have a notification is killing me. any fixes or remedies besides lightflow?

You need to adjust the settings in light flow. There is an option to turn off the notification. I am using it. Really nice to have a fast blinking light for sms. Also changed the color for email to yellow.
Otherwise there are LED settings in the Tweaksbox xposed.

I'm using the free version.
xposed requires root. I am not rooted yet either.
Uncheck the "Run in foreground" to remove the notification from light flow.

What is this?? a notification light for ants!! lol

I agree, the notification light on the S3 was so great. The G3 light is a little small, But I'm sure I'll get used to it.

I really rely on the notification light and the S3 had a great one. Little worried I'm not going to find this one as useful.

LED Notification Light Mod Request

Quick question here -
On the OG Evo my favorite mod was the WiMax notification mod that enabled the green WiMax light to stay lit when I received a text message.
I know the Evo 4G LTE doesn't have this light. Is it possible to have the blinking notification changed to a constant on? That way it's harder to miss when I get a new text message.
How hard would it be for a developer to make this happen?
Thanks in advance!
And to go along with this could we get a mod so that the notification light doesn't time out after 5 minutes if it hasn't been checked? Kind of a useless light unless you look at your phone every 5 minutes. It is one of the main reasons I switched to Cyanogenmod on my EVO Shift.
The constant on mod would be nice. I wouldn't have to stare as long wondering if it is in fact blinking.
I use Handcent and while it's a little bloated it does allow you to set the charging light to flash when a text is received and also the frequency and color of the flash. It might be an option for you until someone creates a mod.

Wait, the notification light times out after 5 minutes? Seriously? I thought maybe I was just seeing (or not seeing) things. That's irritating.

I actually really like the stock one that is included in this build. I've had sketchy results with third-party apps in the past and don't really need the extra bloat typically.
Appreciate the suggestion though, that's more along the lines of what I'm interested in. A constant-on notification light would be perfect.

Menu/Settings/Notification Settings/Notification Settings (again)/Check the "LED Plus" box. You should then see a dropdown for LED color (Green or Amber) and another for LED Frequency. Not sure if you have to be rooted to select LED Plus.
I used the wimax notifier on the 4g, but it would be great if a ROM developer could include some tweaks for this!
I use this and it is godly light flow
It takes a while to figure everything out but once you do it's amazing

I'm on 4.2.5 and it's been there through multiple updates. It's possible it wasn't included for the LTE I guess, I'm still using the OG EVO (for now). Maybe someone else can verify. It would be hard to believe they would remove it for certain phones but who knows.

I tried this on my LTE, and it only worked in Direct mode, which gave me very few options. How did you get it to work?

I also tried this and although it works if my phone is silent the light turns off after a couple seconds if my sound is turned on. Also, the light doesn't flash it remains constant which I don't mind at all. However, I need to hear my phone sometimes so until that gets cleared up this isn't an option for me.
Ok for handcent there are a couple things but it does work even on our EVO LTE.
First I don't think the option is called LED Plus any more. To get to those options open up one of your text messages like you are reading it and at the top right side there is a little gear settings button. Click that and select Notification Settings. When you scroll down you will see three settings under the heading "LED Settings"; Blink LED, Color of LED and LED flash frequency. Those settings would have solved our problem. The problem is they are grayed out on our new phones. Bummer. I guess it means handcent isn't fully compatible with Sense 4 yet.
We can get around that though!
Now back out of your messages so that you are at the main screen of handcent where you can see all the contacts who have messaged you. Now press menu> settings>notification settings>notification settings. In here you will see a set of options called reminders. Turn on reminders and make sure the frequency is set for 5 minutes. 5 minutes is when Sense will usually time out a notification. Also, make sure to set the number of reminders to keep repeating so that every 5 minutes you get a new reminder. These reminders seem to restart the notification to your phone. You will get another notification sound/vibration or however you have yours set up and the led light will continue to flash like you just received the message. I don't think there is a way to not have the sound/vibration go off again unless your phone is on silent. Doesn't bother me since if I haven't checked the notification by then that means I still need to be notified.
Another cool thing about handcent is if you like the way the stock messaging app pops up your text on the lock screen handcent can do that too. It's in the options to popup on lockscreen and you also have to check the option for popup on lockscreen fix for some phone on Android 2.2+. You can even check an option somewhere in there so that the popup only shows up on the lockscreen and not when you are using the phone.
With these options I can make handcent function identical to the stock messaging app but have my notification led remain on forever until I clear it. I also turned off notifications for my stock messaging app and under display settings in my phone turned off led notification for sms/mms so handcent is controlling them.
Unfortunately this does nothing for emails, phone calls, etc but really texts are the one thing I need to know about since it is the primary way my wife communicates with me during the day.
I have also tried Light Flow but it doesn't seem to work at all. My notifications still turn off after 5 minutes even in direct mode.

Notification LED

Is there a way to change the color of my notification LED for txt messages? Mine blinks blue for all notifications. I know my Droid 3 blinked green for messsges, emails, ect, and blue for Facebook. Does anyone know? Its not a huge deal just something I'd like to change if at all possible

Its probably like the galaxy nexus where it can do pretty much any mix of the colors. Its an rgb led I believe.
Turned it on in accessibility and everything works perfectly
Am I doing this correctly? I have "USA and Canada S3 mode" and "Run in foreground" enabled as well as light flow lite enabled in Accessibility to get this app to work properly on my S4. Are any of these actions redundant or will cause more battery drain? Thanks.
Edit: I disabled "USA and Canada S3 mode" and "Run in foreground" to get the colors right.

Negative. I think my lightflow is working correctly.
I just uninstalled Lightflow. It constantly did nothing for certain notifications, I'm getting texts and having no LED at all even though I have it set to blink orange. It works when I test in the app, it works for a little while, and then I just get nothing.

[Q] Does P780 have a bright notification LED?

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.

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.

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.

I'm using Lightflow and it's working as usual for me. Didn't have to do anything special to make it work.
Thanks for the input guys.
Turns out that me LED indicator setting under was turned off. I believe i dud that SetdudLdudevice on initial setup, thinking i was turning off charging LEDs, and that LF had its own control.
I'm good to go now, and feeling a bit embarrassed ...
Anyone else having problems with the LED being shut off after notifications are dismissed? I have all my Light Flow notifications set to stop after I clear the notification from the notification bar. But it's not working. I'll try contacted the developer.
Weird, not had that one.
But I have noticed several problems with Lightflow. I have contacted the developer, but no respose as of yet.
With Lightflow, things I've noticed is:
1) When added a new Notification, if you test it, the LED colour does not match the one you've selected. But it'll still work for the notification.
2) Colours in the Cyan range don't seem to be replicated corretly - but I don't think that's to do with lightflow. One my phone (SM-910F in black) there's a fine, wire mesh kind of pattern over the surface of the phone, which covers the LED. Seems to distort what colour comes out.
If I look really closely, I can see a hint of the correct colour if that makes sense. Not sure how a developer could sort that out, as the program is probably working correctly.
Pretty much Sea Green, turqoise, teal, light green all seem to come out as Light blue. Even using the hex manually still results in this. Same with Light manager too. Really really annoying!
Of course it could just me my old eyes playing tricks one me!
3) Sleep mode doesn't quite work properly. If you set it to disable vribrate only, and leave everything else on, it disables everything, not just vibrate. A small issue, but hey, I'd like to use the feature.
Apart from that, it works perfectly. So nice not to have to switch on accesability to get it to work

[App] Edge Lighting fix for all Apps with screen off (ACTUAL Edge Lighting)

Get actual Samsung Edge Lighting Notifications with any app while your screen is off!​
Since we all know Samsung only did half the job with this feature, this app will enable you to trigger Edge Lighting (the real one !) when your screen is off. It works with any app by reading the app notification creating a new temporary notification that triggers edge lighting (you won't notice it in your notification list).
You can set custom color filters for your apps, based on their names.
Real Samsung Edge Lighting
Extremely minimal battery drain
No fake AOD Screen
Works with ANY app (including Messenger!)
Initial setup is a bit tedious, but that's mostly Samsung's fault.
Any suggestion to improve the app is -of course- welcome!

Thanks for your answer , but with Always On edge I can have the notch notification untill I read it. With the edge lightning I have only the lighter when the notification come. I like to have both.

Well I use my app for Edge Lighting (around the edges, not the notch) to see when a notification comes, and Holey Light to remind me of unread notifications.

On my S10e it is working.
But I probably do not fully understand philosophy of the edge light at all or something, because for what is this good for when it only do the effect one time, which takes only few seconds and thats all.
How will this help me to alert to SMS for example when I get back near the phone and look at it?. Or it is not ment as substitute for notification LED?

No it's not meant as a substitute for notification LED. First release was actually on phones that had a notification LED. It's just a pretty way to display notifications. And if your screen is off, it will prevent it from turning on.

Edge Lighting just makes the notification more noticable if the phone is in view, that has always been its only purpose. It allows you to see, by color, what the notification is. It is not and never was meant to a substitute for the notification. Now, if you use Holey Light and Edge Lighting you can have both...
Can't wait to try this. Curious though, how did you learn to make Android apps in a day then upload it to the play store that quick. I started learning a while ago for games and still not the best at it and uploading to the play store normally take max of 24 hours to get on to the store lol.
The app is working great, however, these would be my suggestions for a slight improvement:
1: Add a search function, as the list can be quite long.
2: After you switch on an app, move it to the top of the list, so that when you enter the app all of the ones marked "on" would be at the top.
I can't think of anything else as it is working just fine.
What happens when multiple notifications come in? Will it cycle through them?
Yes
Just tried it but I am sticking with just Holey Light. It would be nice to have this maybe cycle back on for a set amount of time so you could use it as a notification light.
