Hello all,
Myself like many others have started using the BBM service on our Nexus 4's. So far I have no complaints, it's been working great and I am enjoying the app/service.
One issue I have noticed, and I am not sure how to fix, is the notification LED. In the app settings I chose an LED colour and turned the notifications on. So I would assume that I would receive an LED blinking notification when I get a message in BBM. For some reason though it isn't working for me. My phone will vibrate and I will get a notification in my drop down menu, but the LED doesn't flash to alert me.
I am running Light Flow Lite, I don't know if this would have something to do with it though? A friend of mine is also using BBM and Light Flow lite on her S3 and the LED light works fine for BBM incoming notifications.
Any ideas on what I could do to try and fix the issue? Thanks.
Have you tried disabling the notifications on BBM settings? Perhaps enabling the Light Flow and BBM notifications both on interferes with each other.

I haven't tried that, but BBM isn't an option for me in Light Flow since I am using the Lite version. I only have access to a limited number of apps to specify LED colour with Light Flow lite. So right now I don't have BBM under Light Flow, but do have notification LED turned on in BBM app.
Try Light Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager&hl=en
I've found that Light Flow has conflit with whatsapp led light (it won't show the whatsapp led), LM working great.

Hello everyone,
Got a Bell Atrix 4G, unlocked it and I am using on Rogers network. So far, it is working well.
I am having a problem setting Notification Light. I tried the built in notification light under Settings and a few different notification light apps from market. I used to get a green light for email before but I don't get it anymore after playing with other free apps. I just can't figure this out. I put my phone on vibration mode at work so I would love to have notification lights working.
What I need is different lights for Missed calls, Email, SMS. Has anyone dealt with this issue?
Any help will be much appreciated and thank you!
I use the app light flow for that. Gives me total control over the LED. I have different colors flash for different notifications.
I use Light Flow https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow
and it handles a ton of apps and uses a TON of color combinations.
Worth the $1.
haha, i was going to start this topic today. I use blue for my Trillian notifications, Purple for yahoo mails.
will try the light app suggested above.
Thanks!
Thank you guys! Yes, "Light Flow" makes it work. Please ensure you turn on "Setting > Display > Notification LED".
Light Flow does not work correctly on the ATRIX AT ALL. I had low battery warnings going off when the battery was fully charged, no charge LED ON option, no charging LED, only discharging WTF?
Hello everyone how do I turn of the notification led please?.
Never seen a option
great just what i need for the miss to see this blinking in the night an am in trouble lol. I wander the impact this has on the battery, and what exactly causes it to blink?

The impact on battery life should be absolutely minimal. It blinks when a application sent a notification with a LED-request to the phone. Usually, you can turn this off in the application in question.
For example, Gmail lets the LED blink green when a new E-mail was recieved, Twidryod lets it blink blue. In both programs, you can deactivate the LED-notification in the settings of the program.
None of my apps (incl gmail) have any LED options, and I've never seen the LED flash at all. Not for calls, sms, email or anything.
Could be under sound, pulse notification light?

Anyone know why my LED light is always on when the screen is off?
I have no alerts, a full battery, no new messages, etc..
It was a yellow solid light then i installed light flow lite and it changed to green.
I've tried to eliminate any color that uses green to find what is using it, but for some reason it always comes on when I turn the screen off.
Its a known issue with Light Flow for the US sg3.

If a guy wants to carry on a conversation by himself he need not do it in the forums.

Did you open the manual first before posting the topic? :laugh:
Try Light Flow app to see if LED is working or not
Well I've got LED pulse enabled in display settings but it's not working, even with Light Flow test mode.
Is there a trick I'm missing or is it buggered?

Is your LED ON, pulsing or OFF while the phone is charging?
Mine is OFF
Also the LED is pulsing when I get an email, but off if I get a notification from the agenda.
Is this normal behaviour?
Care to share the solution buddy ?
Others may have the issue as well .
It didn't seem to be working for me either, but now it is.
I installed Light Flow, just to run the test, and that seems to have fixed it. Running the test didn't help particularly (you need to turn the screen off during the test, and the LED only flashed once), but once enabled I get a subtle green LED with an unread email in my Gmail inbox.
I didn't change any of the settings in Light Flow or on my phone apart enabling Light Flow in Accessibility as the app requests when it starts up.
Hope that helps someone.

Just done the same, much better now.
Strange that there is not any control of this without installing the app
I read online how to enable it, not sure how true it is.
Settings > Display > Pulse (something like that, there should be a check box)
Apparently it's disabled on stock, you have to enable it like that first.
Don't know if it works, worth a shot right?
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
AOKP (Milestone 1 - 4.1.2)
Matrix Kernel (24.0 - CFS)

Wheatley (Screen Off) (400/100)

Stock work only with sms. Light flow is very good !
so by 4.2 default, led notifications only work with sms messages? really? seems a bit daft. i'm sure on the gnex i had for a while using stock i got led flashes for missed calls tweets etc
I have just received the Nexus4 and was intrigued about this led light. I have seen in screen options a ticker which is called Notification ligth, which is marked. I tried to call myself from home but the LED did not light, so I have tried sending me an email and it has started to blink in white.
Maybe I had no patience after calling me or it just work for some notifications. I shall investigate it further.
Hope this can help you
I've been using Light Manager so far. I can only specifiy the Color for SMS. If i turn Chose gmail to Flash red and missed calls orange i dont get any notification for a missed call and only a White one for gmail. Same for any other Color.
Hi,
It works for me (stock) :
SMS (Handcent)
Mail : Gmail
Whatsapp and probably more... I would say try to disable/enable led notification.
Mine only flashes green for new gmail and that seems to be it. Light flow test did nothing, even with screen off.
Sent from my Nexus 4 with the Swypey keyboard.
The notification LED light at the right corner of the screen only works when the phone is charging. I tried turning on notification light for some apps but it still wont blink or light up when the screen is off if I have a notification. Does anybody know how to fic this?
It seems like notification LED only works for SMS messages and missed calls on this phone under MIUI.

You have to enable it in settings. It runs ok for all apps.
