Hi,
I am sure this would be something a lot of people would find useful.
Could anyone with any know how make a mod or know how we can set it up so that our Z2 while using "Extended Standby" with STAMINA mode will be able to have Lightflow or other LED notification programs to work?
I stumbled upon this thread which had a mod/fix but for older devices/android versions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574113
Right now if "Extended Standby" is disabled, the LED notification works as intended. But the moment "Extended Standby" is switched on, the LED notification becomes a default very quick flashes of light lilac light which doesn't notify much at all and very easily missed.
upz for this.

Does anyone know what the flashing blue LED means? And is there a way to disable it, at night it can be very bright!

Probably some useful info in the user guide http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/GT-I9300MBASWC-downloads?isManualDownload=true

Nope, nothing in the manual that refers to the Blue Flashing LED.
Paul
Do you have anything enabled in the LED light settings that would explain why it's flashing?

Please read again.
Settings -> LED Settings
Red is low battery and/or charging
Green is fully charged
Flashing blue means there is a notification of some sort.
Thanks Lenny,
The manual does not help:
●● Missed event: Set to turn on the service light when you have missed calls, messages, or notifications.
Doesnt say "Blue" anywhere so not exactly easy to find!
Paul
It's blue for every app notification unless you have light flow installed so you'll have to work out which app is notifying you
Usually I've forgotten to read an email or text message though - annoying though when you can't track it down

Trying light flow as that does exactly what I require.
Thanks very much.

I use calendar snooze for my appointment reminders, and I set it to flash red for them.
I have been looking in Tasker if there is a setting there to turn reminders off while my 'night' setting is active. I also find them annoying during the night, but haven't been able to find a setting there yet. Anyone got any ideas?
what has to be done or there's an app that's already out, the led has to flash for a certain time and it turns off. constant flashing will piss people off and may possibly kill the battery

If you really think about it though, that flashing light probably consumes less battery then you having to turn on the screen to see if you have a new notification that you might have missed. Even if your screen is on for 5 seconds it is still waking up the phone and causing it time for it to fall back into sleep.
After much trial and error. I finally got Light Flow working on my S3. Here's what I did to get it to work :
Go to Setting > Led Notifications, and Only check Missed Events. Leave the others unchecked.
Make sure you disable all LED notifications in the rest of your apps (WhatsApp, GoSMS, etc); you'll need to let Light Flow handle these notifications. In some circumstances you may need to disable the 'screen on, on notification event' option in these apps to get the Light Flow to work.
In Light Flow, if you want to test the color of your notification, in 'Clear Notification Style' select 'App Entered', then scroll down to 'Test Notification', wait for the Pop-up and press the power button (to turn off your screen). Sometimes you might need to wait about 30 secs for the light to appear. This is just to test the color of your notification, Light Flow will still work with the rest of the Clear Notification Styles.
I'm on root, so the above works for me. It might work for non-rooted phones though.
Also, you may notice that not all colors are supported by the S3. Typically, the distinct colors I got are :
Cyan
Blue
White
Green
Indigo
Lime
Yellow
Orange
I tried the custom colors, but the S3 LED seemed to provide some mesh-ed up mix of colors.
I can't find what you mean by " Setting > Led Notifications".
Is that in the system settings, light flow settings, or individual app settings within light flow?
Mine just worked out of box... No fuss.

You should not have to disable notifications in the apps for lightflow to work.
Because Lightflow registers itself as an accessibility tool, it should override any other notifications.
wow.....
all you need to do, OUT OF THE BOX.
Settings, Accessibilty, ------and heres the kicker...Turn on Light Flow, lol
Not to mention light flow keeps asking you to do this all the time!

Guys you know that lightflow has a wake lock problem?
Had it installed and it drained my battery like anything, with it installed lucky to get 8 hours of battery, uninstalled i get 2 days.

It didn't work for me out of the box. Notifications come on but don't turn off, and sometimes come on at random.

I couldn't get it to work on my sgs3 either. Just gave me the green light. The developer website says they're working on getting the US version of the s3 working but it sounds like it has issues with wake locks as well.
anyone else found a similar app that works on the sgs3? I really miss being able to designate any color I want for diferent email, text, missed calls, etc.
Ive never got light flow working properly.
Usually it prevents all notifications working for me but then gives me none of its own. The test is only ever green.
I set all my notifications blue as I only want it for sleep. Last install (this week) it actually worked. It went to sleep too. YAY!
but alas it was not to be. No more notifications the next day.
I only want to put my LED to sleep when I go to sleep. Why is this such a big ask?
It works well for me - but i SOMETIMES get the stock blue flashing light and can't figure out why.
This is one of the most important feature for me. eventhough older phones had this, recent smartphones seem to ignore this much needed feature.
ok, coming to the point
I use liteflow and is it ok to blink it every 5 seconds to show me the phone signal. i somehow like that feature and ive concern whether it will 'really' affect my battery life and 'LED LIFE'. because in a day, if ive set the phone signal notification, it would blink thousands of time in day!!!.is that ok?
I'm not sure of the battery drain of using this but it surely can't be much, I guess you would be best to just try it out and post the results
I read that LightFlow causes significant wakelocks on the SGS3. Might want to watch out for that.
Yep, I'm happy too that they've bought back the led notification but I would also like to know how many colours this led can display. From the YouTube videos I've seen, it's more than three.
yes.use liteflow app. but even with that app, i dont see the custom color which i selected from the app used in led. its somewat matching. thats all
Wakelocks only occur when the app needs to switch the led colour, you can disable that feature in the settings, so that it only highlights the most recent notification.
hey guys,
i have this sorta weird issue where my phones light bar is not working properly. i looked all over the thread but couldnt find anyone with this same issue.
i flashed a AOKP custom rom recently, im loving the speed, everythings awesome, but the led bars dont work. the normal theme colour thingie is off, which is understandable, but the illumination bar notification app also doesnt work, and the light bars dont work when i use the walkman that i installed later. but weirdly, u-disco can control the lights, and they also light up along with the notification led for phone notifications like low battery, or battery charging.
i was wondering if anycould suggest a way to get at least some of the functionality back.?
im sure that 3rd party apps can control the light bar cuz u disco pulled it off.
any help would be greatly appreciated

What's your phone? If your phone is Xperia U, search for Xperia U illumination files and download and get ADB server because the RunMe.bat should only be work with ADB and place all files in ADB folder. Then run the RunMe.bat twice in order to be sure. If it's done, now you can get illumination with illumination bar notification app.
That's all? No! You would like to set theme in illumination bar notification but it always turning off.
Now you change your display settings. Follow this fix which is not mine.

upgraded to MM and wanted to find out whether there is a way to disable the indicator LED when the phone is on the charger.
There is a setting under display that allows one to disable the indicator light for notifications. That doesn't affect the charging behavior though and the light is still red/orange when charging and green when charged. Pretty annoying at night.
is there an app or hack for this?
thanks
Maybe GravityBox (Xposed needed)
GravityBox is made for stock Android and may not work on themed or skinned ROMs such as Honor's EMUI. Check or ask the developer first.
thanks folks. I asked the dev and have not heard back yet.

Light flow is an app for led and notification maybe see if it will work for you.
