[Q] how notification lights work?

how this are working? i just got my atrix yesterday but not sure what kind of ecents trggers notifications lights, since seems sms pop up not working there is an Trackball alert or something like this?
Thanks

if you want full control over the led (events, colors, etc) get the app "lightflow"

I have the Lightflow app installed (lite version) however it seems that changing the notification speed has no effect..it doesn't blink often enough for my taste, is there any way to fix this? other than that the app works great..

[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.

Thanks Jackal331. Does the LED work for email and WhatsApp? I have stock ROW_119 installed and the LED only lights for missed calls and sms. Can't get it to light with anything else and no apps (like Lightflow) work with it either.

So far, I tested the LED, it only works for Calls, SMS, WeChat, Charging mode, all other else doesn't lit up. (Facebook, LINE, KakaoTalk, WhatsApp, Gmail etc...)

Thanks Soralz. Which ROM are you using? Don't know why Lenovo disable WhatsApp and Email LED notification
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.

is it possible to enable the light if a whatsapp message has arrived
is it possible to enable the light if a whatsapp message has arrived?

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.

Huawei Ascend G630 does not LED notify light WhatsApp messages

Hello
Ive seen a Huawei Ascend G630 that a friend has and he told me that the notification light when receiving WhatsApp messages does not work. The light is green by WhatsApp configuration.
How can I test the notification light is working correctly? When charging, it does light up.

I have Huawei Acend G630,and I have issue with LED indicator,its only on when charging or when the battery is low..its off for notification,I tried many apps to test it and its not blinking.
My friend have a same phone (just white edition,mine is black) and his LED indicator is blinking on notification.
HELP me,what to do,I had a BlackBerry,and i get used to led indicator,i want it to work on my g630

I'm not sure if this is the same as your problem, but my old phone only had blue and red LEDs, so setting the light color to green would result in nothing. If changing the color doesn't fix it, then I don't really know what the issue is, but you could try using an app such as Light Manager to test out the light.

Tried
Tried with that app and no light works when testing..... maybe a update???

SOLVED!
Install "Notification light widget" from google play store.
Add widget on homescreen and just tap on it.
I dont know whats cause this bug but this widget force LED light to start working.
Then install light manager if you want to edit your light colours
Just Google for every f*****g thing
If this work for you click thans button
Cheers!

Its said for motorola but for me its worked on Huawei.
Try to make a new google account,its possible that notifications are turned off on google settings from your smartphone that you had before G630.
First what I've did is creating new google acc and installed NLWidget and LED its work!

OK, on usual devices, just drag your application to the app info icon and when it opens, on the top left corner just below the app name you can toggle on/off notifications. Please let me know if this works.

Well making a new Google Account for this doesn't make sense. Also, the person before had the same Google Account on another phone and the notifications were lit up perfectly on the person's previous phone. Anyways, I DOUBT this has ANYTHING to do with, for example, WhatsApp, notifications.

It sounds odd because by defect it IS activated so why would it be deactivated? Also, with the widget and the light manager app it does not light up either.
There was to be some strange software bug in MIUI playing up here.

The glitch is a side effect of restoring from your Google account to the phone, which is part of the setup process for the phone. The feature downloads apps and settings from the cloud, which is usually a good thing. But in some instances it can tell the phone to restore the notification LED setting from another phone, leaving the light disabled with no way to re-enable it.
Fortunately there's a simple fix for this issue, and it's one that apparently applies to Motorola and some other phones too...
Motorola has released a widget that lets you toggle the notification light on and off, so if you're affected by this bug simply download it, place it on a home screen and toggle it on. After that you can remove the widget and your notification light will continue to work.
I dont know why but this bug comes with old google acc.
My LED was dead(it was on only on charging and batery low,not for notification),and I did factory reset,create new google acc. installed Notification light widget,and LED started to work,then I installed a Light manager for editing colours for notification.
Strange but black G630 have this bug,white G630 LED works perfectly.

Is the widget for activating it when you receive a notification? I might have been doing something stupid as in just toggleing on and off without doinging something.
Im going to turn it on using the widget and then send a WhatsApp to that person and see if it works.

Creating a new Google Account is a overkill and completely out of the question. At most, in the Google account, there has to be a setting to receive notifications. But even then, notifications are received perfectly; It just the light that doesn't turn on!

Are you solved your problem with LED ?
Mine is work perfectly whats with yours? Send mail to google and they will tell you am i in right

Is this possible? LED notification question.

I would ONLY like the LED notification to light up Red when charging or turn Green when the battery is fully. I cant stand the other LED notifications blinking especially at night, it bugs the crap outta me plus I used AOD so I don't need the LED notification also. Anyway to do this? Thanks.

you could try the Light Manager app in play store, ive been using it since march and plenty of options for you to turn off mail, messages, calls mms etc i really enjoy the app and it works beautifully

I feel the same. What I did was just block notification access to the light from apps that I don't want to know about, like email. I get email all the time, I don't need a light to blink to tell me I have new emails. So I blocked the notification light access to email.

I will try this app, but the thought of having another app in the background always running makes me cringe.

How exactly do you block the notification light access to certain apps? Or do you mean you can just block that one notification from your certain email app?
