[Q] Have LED notification light flash while someone's calling? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have seen some phones with the notification LED flash while someone is calling or getting texts. Is this possible for The i9100

Let me clarify, i meant the camera LED flash.

Never heard of anyone using the camera's led to flash notifications, you can get the buttons at the bottom light up with a bln supported kernel but thats it.

blink notification LED when screen is on

Hi, I'm running neutrino rom and I'm trying to find a way for the notification LED to blink even if the screen is on. How can I accomplish this? I've tried lightflow but the LED still only blinks when the screen is off.
I would like this function, since if I have my phone in the dock and the screen has gone to screensaver mode I can't look in the satusbar to see if I have a notification. And since the LED only blinks if the screen is off I have to touch the screen to check and I find that silly to have to do. Sometimes I forget and then hours later I find out a have had missed calls and texts.

I believe our phone is one of those that doesn't blink led with screen on. I know lightflow warns of this as does my handcent. Don't think its possible unless someone else proves me wrong.
that's strange. if I mess with the LED notifaction settings under Cyanogenmod setting I can test the LED notification while the screen is on. Somehow it must be possible.

Is that cm7 or 9? I noticed in 7 the settings just aren't there (for me anyway) to use led for anything other than system default. With 9 I noticed led functions totally different like the charging led working (love that!) So maybe its rom dependent.
I'm running Neutrino CM7. the LED notifcationsettigns are definetly there. maybe it is rom dependant. Does the LED work for you if the screen in on running CM9?

I honestly haven't had a chance to test that with cm9. I load the rom and test the things that I use most in order, wifi, camera. I don't get passed the camera issue on most. That's a bug I can't live with since I take tons of pics. I will try to remember to test it out next time I flash. Im on rc1 of 7 now getting ready to update to rc2, maybe there will be something there. Where did you find the settings for it in neutrino?
Just upgraded to cm7.2 rc2 and found the screen on led setting. Works great for me. Just wish I could get a charging solid led that goes off at 100% I got spoiled from my flipside I guess but its just so much nicer to not have to turn the screen on to verify full charge. Lightflow didn't work for me.

LED Notification

Lets say that I have my LED notification setup to flash red for a missed called, and green for a missed text. Will it flash both colors? Or only the one that happens first? Has anybody tested this? If not can anybody with the phone test this?

Im using light flow app and it will turn blue when there is no signal, orange when set below certain percentage for battery as low bat, red for missed call, green for fully charged, white for charging, yellow for missed sms and purple for something i forgot. Yet it will flash multi colors if triggered.
QUESTION ANSWERED....thanks for replying

Led notification

I've been looking into buying this phone and i've been hearing about the led notification light only flashing when you have a missed call. Is that true? and if so is there any possible way that you can make it so one of the colors flash for a text message.

Yes, that's true, the led light only when you have a missed call or when your phone is connected with the computer.
Unfortunately, it is currently impossible to change led notifications

Notification Light does not show on missed calls

I made sure that the notification light is enabled, but for some reason i dont see any indication that i missed a call - maybe it has something todo that i use a non standard dialer app by default ?

Hi, I am also facing an issue of the same kind. I cannot see any other color of the LED except for red when the battery is low. After charging is completed, the green LED should be lit, but there is actually a very dim orange light that is noticed only in the dark. The same for the calls or other notifications. I don't even remember if going to recovery or fastboot mode will trigger the blue LED but nothing is displayed anyhow.
Does somebody have any idea how to restore the LED to "normal"? This has happened after I installed the X829 rom on my X820. Since that time, looks like no other color is present except red.
Any advice is welcome.

Miatoll. Notification LED only blinks when charging? Not for notifications?

(Miatoll board, curtana device. Talking about that little led in the speaker above the camera.)
Does the LED notification light not work?
Mine only ever shows when the phone is plugged in. I can't get it to flash when I have notifications, even though all settings in Android settings seem to be turned on
bump
same here but i have the uk phone version.. like you say only when charging. ?

did all that and made sure each app i want to notify had led notification...still no blink
Same here. No blink, all settings on
i got someone to message me while in the same room, screen popped up message etc, waited for screen to go into standy... still no blinking light.
Yeah I've done exactly the same test. Doesn't work
rom version is 11.0.6.0 could it be that..? no updates available when i checked today..or a faulty phone, does work when it's charging.
anyone have any joy yet, getting led to work
Not trying to self-promote but there appears to be many threads on this problem so I created a new thread so people can find a possible fix easier.
