On cm9 with icy glitch b6. Also using bln control and nstools. Bln works find for stock messaging, Facebook chat messages, and missed calls as well I believe. However, upon installing Go SMS bln completely fails to work for any of the aforementioned programs or go SMS. Have messed with the app's settings, nothing works. Help?
Anyone? Is anyone at least using Go Sms Pro and CM9 and their backlight notifications DO work? Sucks to be me!
Have you tried turning off the "screen on" option in the settings for go sms? If your screen lights up when it receives a notification then bln won't light up
Dont use gosms?

This totally fixed it. I'm an idiot for overlooking what was happening. Thank you!

Using Go SMS on GB JW4 I never had that problem with BLN. Screen on had always been enabled and BLN still worked. Regrettably, that's not the case with CM9.

I've never used BLN before but it appears to be functioning erratically for me. I'm running RC6 and the bln free that he included in the ROM. It seems I'll consistently get BLN notifications for a few hours, then not get any for a few. I don't know how else to explain it other than sometimes my keys are glowing and sometimes they aren't. And unless I'm missing something the only options in the app are on/off, and duration of light.
Any ideas?
If you want your soft keys to glow every time you have a text you have to download go sms or hanscent sms the reason is our stock sms app doesent have the notification light option since our phone technically doesent have a notification light but the 3rd party sms apps do have the option for a notification light so thats what makes the soft keys glow when you have a text

I could swear though I've gotten bln before from texts alone... Maybe I just got emails at the same time

When we get proper Bln, it will work with stock SMS. It was done on the gs2.

Hello Everyone
Ok so ill state what i have first
Im running toasts CM9 rom previously i was on Miks Sense 3.5
anyway when i was on that rom vibrate would work fine for text messages, and that was the first time as it didnt work on any other roms either.
And now im on toasts CM9 and the vibrate doesnt turn on for texts at all....it works for calls and when im changing volume but if its a message nothing...basically all i get is the screen stays off and all of a sudden the notification light is blinking thats it...i tried SMS popup and it didnt do anything either.
So can anyone give me some advice.
Also if anyone can recommend an app to make texts appear on my tablet and allow me to send them from the tablet as well (i have juiced defender on my phone so its an issue with certain sms apps)
thank you
probably a stupid question but have you tried fixing permissions through recovery or reflashing the ROM? might be that your vibrator could be going out.. just my 2 cents
yeah i tried that just now thanks for the advice but it didnt work out
the strange thing is that vibrate works for everything else but texts
In your messaging app, click 'menu, settings' then there should be an option for notifications, and a checkbox for 'vibrate when notifications received' or something similar since I'm not on CM9.

Yeah I have that set to always vibrate and still nothing
Since it's working for calls but not texts... clear the application data..?
hi,
I've using Go SMS with BLN for a long time without any problems...till now.
I can't give a precise date about when Go SMS stops working with BLN, maybe 2 months ago, but indeed it's not working anymore.
I tried all the possible settings and combinations, but i just can't get it to work.
The problem is very simple...after received a message the screen goes on, the leds start to blink...then when the screen goes off, leds turn off.
I thought the problem could be on my rom (XWLPM 4.0.4) or the BLN itself, but i installed Handcent SMS, to test, and everything works like a charm...
Again, i installed Zlango, and everything works great...installed Go Sms...BLN doesn't work...
Anybody knows anything about this issue? Anyone found a possible solution?
Cheers

BLN works perfectly fine with gosms here.
The problem:
- because gosms turns the screen on when you receive message
The solution:
- disable screen on after you reduce message in gosms settings
How to do this:
-open gosms
-goto settings, advanced settings
-select notification
-disable screen on and unlock screen under screen settings
Problem solved
Note: Ensure, notification light is also enabled in gosms.
Good luck

I am trying to get my LED to blink, but even after disabling screen on via GO SMS Pro settings, the screen still turns on whenever there're incoming text messages. Any suggestions?
I'm awaiting a response from the GO Dev Team, but I heard they don't respond in a timely manner...I have a SIII (SGH-T999). Not root, stock 4.1.1
Thanks!
My Verizon S4 is set to vibration mode (sound turned down/off)
In the options for gmail, facebook, and hangouts I have notifications turned on, but the vibration is off (unticked), BUT I still get vibrations when an incoming email, message, or notification comes along.
Anyone know how to override this issue? Are there external apps that can fix it? I only want my phone to vibrate when I get phone calls or text messages.
I have searched and found nothing.
Does no one else have this problem? It's driving me nuts!
I have the issue but mine only affects my enhanced Email app running Yahoo. Going to try uninstalling that and just use default email app, see if that helps.
Anybody find a solution to this yet????

I'm thinking that the sound/vibrate settings in Settings may be overriding this, but don't know why?

because you have it in vibration mode. all notifications are vibrate when in vibration mode, even when you have vibration turned off in the apps.

It never used to do this on the Galaxy S4, whoever finds a fix for this I will love forever!
This is not a bug but an annoying change Google made as of Android 4.2. Basically anything with a notification is supposed to vibrate when the phone is in vibrate mode regardless of the app setting although the app needs to support it. There is no fix but CM10.1 has the ability to revert this behavior.

Sorry for digging up this Thread, but this is not acceptable for me.
My S3 is always on Silent/Vibrate - Mode. In this case, Hangouts isn't usable for me. I have to disable all hangouts notificitaions, or my phone would vibrate almost all of the time.
So, is there any workaround available, so far?
I've allready tried to revoke permissions for vibration from hangouts and G+ via "App Settings" (Xposed module), but that didn't work. :/
Any solution would be great. Otherwise I have to go back to 4.1.2.
Best regards,
Marcus

You can try to manually turn off the vibration in the sound settings. settings<my device<sounds<vibration intensity
Change the slider of anyone of them that needs to be changed (from what I can tell you just want the notification vibration to be turned off so slide that one all the way to the left).
Let me know how this go.
Thx for your reply. But this will turn off Vibration for all notifications, won't it? I just want to turn it off for Hangouts because I receive lots of messages there and it's pretty annoying to have a phone on your pocket, that is vibrating all the time. I also have an app, that comes along with the OmegaROM, called "Notifications Mangaer" But changes there doesn't take effect. :/

That is the only way I know, other than the notifications manager. I know what you means too, I also hate the annoying vibration all the time and it waste battery life. I got tired of looking for a way around it and just turned off the notification vibration.
Sad to hear... But I won't surrender. This is not acceptable for me. There must be a way to disable vibration on Hangouts even if enabled in system settings. I'll hang on it and let you know as soon as I found a solution . Thx, so far.
Best regards,
Marcus
I have the same problem so I just hav the notifications that I want to vibrate set to vibrate all the time and hangouts not to, then I put my volume at 1.

Thats not bad as an temporarily soliution. It hits me on an idea:
Lets perfection this and create a 1s long, silent track and set it as ringtone. That should work as well.
But even this cant be the final solution. There must be a way to prevent hangouts from vibrating, although global settings force vibration. It worked in the past as well, so why not on above 4.1.2 versions?
Same problem with S5 Mini
I got the same problem on m S5 Mini - it's driving me crazy! Why should I want apps to vibrate in vibration mode, when i don't want the to vibrate in general - when I turn off vibration in the app settings?!
I wake up every night because of notifications from facebook or emails..
I just want whatsapp and phone calls to vibrate!
I came from HTC devices (Desire, Sensation, Sensation XE) and never had this problem before.
It's also annoying that I can't change the notifications volume together with the ringtone volume, but have to seperately adjust the slider
Any solutions without root would be great
I have the LED set to stay on and blink when I get a new notification or message with LightFlow. It should turn off once I open the app to check the message or clear the notification. This works perfectly for Skype, Gmail, Hangouts, and charging my phone. But when I get a text message, the light either blinks for a second and then stops, or nothing happens at all. I've tried changing the settings in LightFlow, using the notification setting in the messaging app instead, using different apps (the stock messaging app and Go SMS Pro), but they all have the same problem. This is an issue with MMS too. Is there a specific setting I'm missing?
Might be STAMINA-Mode? The notification LED behaves different if STAMINA-Mode is enabled. It won't change color/duration.
Curious about this myself. I have a similar issue. I leave stamina mode on running all the time. When I get any notification, it blinks a couple times, then disappears. I believe this is due to stamina mode.
I tried downloading Light Manager and set it up, but again those settings take effect for a few notification blinks, then it turns off - again assuming it's due to stamina mode.
Here's the weird thing, when I turn stamina mode off, Light Manager doesn't take effect, and the default notifications take priority and work properly.
I've tried adding light manager to the excluded apps in stamina mode but it still doesn't work. Is there a Sony process I can add to stamina mode that will exclude notification lights from being hibernated?

I never have STAMINA mode turned on. The weird thing is all of my LED notifications work just fine, it's just SMS and MMS that doesn't. When I try to test out the LED blinking in the Go SMS Pro app, nothing happens. The LED works when I test the notification in LightFlow, but nothing happens when I actually get a message.

I don't know, but you can try this xposed module if your device is rooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xperia-stamina-mode-led-t2713892
it brings back the LED functionality while stamina mode is on.

Well I tried Light Manager and that seemed to work for a bit, now it doesn't work anymore. Still nothing for SMS.
Have you tried using a different sms app? I know you said gosms and stock, but give textra a try. It's really nice and simple, and fast. Not to mention the security issues that gosms has. I would advise anyone using gosms to use something different. That's just my opinion. There was an article here on XDA about the go team and their apps. Very shady company based out of China.

It looks like Light Manager works now. I disabled and re-enabled Light Flow and that seems to fix it, so I guess I'll be using Light Manager for the SMS notifications at least.
I use Go SMS mainly because it's the only SMS app I know of that gives you the option of not using the bubble layout. Not a huge fan of it. I'll give Textra a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
