I saw a lot of Galaxy S2 preview movies now. But one thing I'm still missing is the notification led....
Lots of reviews, do a review with the charger hooked to the phone. But there's nowhere a led burning that the S2 is charging or something.
Is there a indication LED on the S2 or did the people at Samsung just leave it out?
Personally I think I would miss the led notification if it isn't there.....
Is there somebody who can tell a bit more about this?
Nope, there is no Notification LED for Galaxy S II.

Yes, we do. Anyone care to start?
Somebody told me that on the Galaxy S there was a way to use the buttons on the bottom of the device to use them as a notification led.... Anybody has more information about this? Or a movie as an example?
Found it!

Would be nice if this could be done on the S2.

No LED notification - Is this final? This makes me sad :|
Will this stress the LED bulbs out to a point where they will die out?

No, LED's have a lifetime well over 25 years of normal daily use. You will never burn them out unless it was defective.
Well, then I will certainly look forward to his mod. Although the Sound alerts will also suffice.
But that'd only for SMS though

Would be nice if someone could make a program in which different patterns for lightning the leds at the bottom of the screen can be choosen. And that it's possible to assign different patterns to different notifications.
I often have my phone in my jacket, when I'm at work. The fastest way to check if I have a message or something is when I can take a look at the LED notification... We'll see what the future brings.
No LED? There is a video on YT of the boot-up sequence and at 20 seconds in a LED flashes purple at the top left (next to the front facing camera). The model is a retail version (as it has the Samsung logo on). Surely this is the notification LED - or am I mistaken?

Corrected - seems I was wrong! Didn't know the video had already been posted on XDA, turns out it is a proximity sensor

You will see the same effect if you point your phone's camera (or most consumer video cameras or non-DSLR still cameras) at your TV remote and press a button.
You will not be able to see anything with the naked eye.
ill start a FAQ, but you guys help give me information for it alright? ill start working on it now

Any news on the mod which acitvates the light of the home and back button when you have a new message?
The app that you guys are searching for, to turn on the buttons, is called BLN Control.
Here's the site:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/bln-control-free/neldar.bln.control.free
It requires you to have a kernel that has a BLN mod however.
Finally its here!

Thanks for this. I checked the site but didn't see how to install it. So i googled it and found this:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/enable-back-light-notifications-on-galaxy-s-ii-with-bln-guide/
You need to have a rooted sgs2 and CWM installed. download the zip from here (same link posted from the site mentioned):
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&drKey=1359&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1200262&v=1&libid=1312840807984&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.multiupload.com%2FIY7A211PI7&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xda-developers.com%2Fandroid%2Fbacklight-notifications-mod-for-galaxy-sii%2F&title=%5BMOD%5D%20BackLight%20Notifications%20for%20Galaxy%20SII%20-%20GT9100%20-%20xda-developers&txt=Back_Light_Notification_GS2_v3.zip%20(6.77%20MB)&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13128419398541
Flash it in CWM, then reboot. and now my buttons light up when there's a new message.
btw, you should also have the BLN control app from the market (the lite version is free, but less options of course.)
Update: I bought the pro version! and now i can set it to blink, plus it also blinks when there are missed calls. Lite version has only a static light and doesn't notify on missed calls.
Well i just wanted to know if there is a way to turn off the notification light of the x10 mp im curently using naa miniCM 2.1.8. The LED is really annoying and at night while i'm charging it brightens up the whole room so i would like to turn it off.
Thanks in advance for any help
Can some one help me?

black tape it or use permanent marker
Hello,
I think ales47 is searching for the possibility to turn off LED only while charging. Otherwise, in normal use, he wants the LED to work normally.
Is it possible to turn off the LED only while charging phone?
Yeah i too think of the same thing. actually the green light is very much bright than the yellow one. i have to keep it upside down to keep the light off. other than that i have no idea to consider you.
or you have to use a light form or something (that it wont hurt the screen) when you charge. and the miss call notification is very annoying at night too. every flash will kill your sleep slowly. i have to clear the notifications before i sleep.
Any other suggestions?

Seriously, you are very helpful to us
haven't tried it out myself, but in settings - profiles you select a profile, and the last option PHONE, the last option again is LIGHTS MODE and is set in no override.
You could create a profile for the night with the setting switched to OFF.
Hope it works

I once tried the profile thing but i had no notifications. but this is regarding a light steadily lighting. i guess it is for the notifications only.
I don't know why it bothers you at night... at some point I can't even sleep without having light on phone... Put a tape over the LED? I just think it's not possible to change this...
Hey bro you really should search before starting a new thread

Does anyone know how to use the front key lights as notification led's on our L9 since we don't have one? I found out how to use the camera flash as one but that's the back of the phone and i don't like facing the phone screen face down on anything in fear of scratching the screen.
If there is not a method already around somewhere to do this, how hard would it be to get this working? I think it would be a great asset to our L9s!

Works for me.
How does it behave for you? On my L9 nothing changed at all once installed and enabled :/ What settings did you choose? Do they flash after the screen turns off for awhile after the notification, and stay flashing until they are read??

I just chose the default settings, and it flashes the front key lights till the message is read. Maybe cause I'm using P760 V10h on my P765.
The app is a battery drainer since it wakes the cpu up each time the buttons light up.
Im hoping they can program this feature into future roms for the L9 where it just causes the LED's to blink until the screen is turned back up when a notification is received. Not sure if its possible to program the blinking to run without waking the cpu?
That was another concern of mine, but if it was integrated into the rom in such a way to not wake the cpu then battery life would not be affected as much.
I cant found an option for that in the setting menu !!! and this function is mentioned clearly in the manual
Any one can help how the set this up ?
As per officials forums, this feature is coming in an upcoming update, and not yet implemented.

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.
Is there LED LIGHT NOTIFICATION ON P30. If there is , how I can enable this feature, and if isnot , is there is any programs that give us this feature such as other Huawei Mobile such as P10, 20, and Mate 10, 20 and etc.
Thanks..
There is no LED on the P30 for anything, just flash on the back

There is a tiny notification LED on the left side in the top "grill". Barely visible, there's a setting for it in notifications tab but not much you can do except enable/disable. Or is this Lite only?

Definitely not on the normal P30, only other thing on the top of the phone other than the camera is the light/proximity sensor
It's a bit annoying not having an LED but I'm using Always On Edge which works nicely for notifications, even managed to get it to circle the notch.
Uses a bit of battery though.
I am using LED Blinker Pro, perfect, even better then a hardware LED !!!
