Notification LEDs off in DND or charge? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi,
Is there a way to access the pictured setting via Tasker or some other way? Light Flow causes more problems than solving... It bucks up my notifications...
All I want to do is turn of the LED when in DND mode or on charge at night...

I found this app that is a plugin for tasker that was initially written for the Galaxy S3, but I've tested it and it works for the S7 Edge and I'm using it for my night profile.

Why are there so many settings? How do I connect it with DO NOT DISTURB?

Set up a profile for DND and use State->Variables->Variable Value->find "Interrupt Mode" in the list of variables (or manually type %INTERRUPT)
Depending on the DND mode, the values are either ALL, PRIORITY, ALARMS, or NONE
If you want the profile to activate on any DND mode, use %INTERRUPT neq ALL
Then make your task and use the LED controller plug in and under configuration set everything to off. Then create an exit task and set all of the items under "LED Settings" to on.

The DND profile runs non stop whether I'm in DND or not

I've tried different operators. Some keep the DND profile running regardless of the state and others stay off regardless...

It seemed to be working when I tested it out. To be honest, I found those instructions on reddit. Here's how I set it up when testing:

I did eventually figure it out - i just could not get to the CORRECT notification access settings page...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2117829

I used the plug-in and just created a profile to turn off the LED during a specific time period, which is the same time period I have DND activated.

The plug-in reference in post #2 is no longer available in the Play Store. Does anyone have a copy of it they could post here, or send to me? I accidentally deleted it off my phone.
Edit: Never mind, I found it here:

[Q] stock browser issue with talkback

Hi everyone.
I have some kind of trouble with my stock browser: it keeps on saying "page loading" .... "page loaded".
(If this happens to you your GN3 may say something else as mine speaks French (as I am French
I just called Samsung support in France. Unfortunately they were'nt able to solve it.
They could only tell me to go to a repair shop. There they could (hopefully) do something.
I called the guy. Everything he told me was: "did you reset (and wipe) your phone?". I guess he doesn't know his stuff.
Well: am I the only One on Earth having this problem?
I've had it for hardly two weeks.
Talkback is disabled (as everything that may say saomething).
I know I can surf with Chrome but then again it's not my choice!
Can anyone help?
Thank you very much.
Turn any accessibility functions off like Tasker, Lightflow, Pebble etc. This is a known bug.
Since I use some of these I don't use the stock browser.

Thank you very much indeed !!
I have a Pebble watch
If I had known. I would have never guessed Pebble could be the cause.
Now all is ok. I'm going to turn Pebble back on and use Chrome.
Thank you again :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Don't blame Pebble. Any app I have enabled in accessibility causes the stock browser to talk. I suspect it is some wayward Samsung software. Some have blamed Touchwiz but it still happens with alternative launchers.

Yes, you're right. I was not blaming Pebble.
I didn't use the right words. I meant "the simple fact for Pebble to be present".
BTW, is there a workaround for this?
Not that I know of.....still looking!

That sucks. I hope there will be a fix soon. Haven't they fixed it on galaxy s3? I think I read somewhere this bug returned with S4.
Thanx my frend..
You don't need to have them enabled under accessibility. It has a different setting under security now. I have light flow and I have it off under accessibility but enabled under security->notification access and it's working fine.

But Tasker isn't listed there. Tasker is only in accessibility. Sadly. I need tasker to listen for notifications.

Blocking mode not disabling LED notifications?

Used blocking mode on my S3, S4, and now the S5. For some reason the blocking mode on the S5 does not disable the notification LED. The option to have it do so is just not there. Is anyone else noticing this? Any way to fix this?

Seems like a stupid thing to remove. That LED is as bright as the sun in my dark room at night!
I was hoping it would allow text messages for those in the allow list. My phone calls ring through, but texts do not.

Yea, the only thing I can find is going into display and insert LED notification, check the box in there to shut off notifications
Silly

My blocking mode isn't working at all. I do have a separate app that handles my ringtones, but even fb notifications go through when Blocking Mode is on =\
Same here, even after ANE2 update! Any ideas?
any hope to get this changed now that we have root?

Me too!
The only way to get this working for me was with GravityBox.
You have to set the time to turn off and on notifications, like at settings menu, but that actually works.

You can disable led in Blocking mode by editing table "system" in "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db" and setting
Code:
dormant_disable_led_indicator 1
So set that and reboot to apply.

Can you give step by step instructions on how to edit the system table?

Weather widget only shows time, else is blank

Hello my Galaxy S5 Verizon version doesn't display weather on the weather widget. It has been a few days but thought would figure out on weekend. Can someone please help what should I do other than factory reset? I have a screenshot.

Turn location ON
Figured out. Had to clear data in application manager and weather and then just restart and it worked

Another fix for the weather widget
I tried to solve my problem by going into Application Manager and stopping this app and deleting the cache.
However that did not help me.
So, I looked into the Settings / Application Manager / "Turned Off" section.
There I saw that an application named "Unified Daemon" was turned off.
After I turned this back "On", my weather widget was working.

You are a good man, That was exactly my issue. It looked like something I didn't want/need and I never put two and two together. So thank you, very much !

Alarm not sounding

I am using Alarm Clock Plus and if the sound is set to 'do not disturb' the alarm won't sound. I have it set to on to allow the alarm to sound. It happens for the morning alarm. This morning when I unlocked the phone then it sounded.... (30 minutes after it was suppose to sound)
Any ideas?
Do you have that specific app set in the priority app notifications section?

I'll try that. I did today turn off power saving mode completely. Tomorrow I will have two alarm clocks set... Lol
I had the same issue with timely. It was because I hadn't launched it on several days and it had been automatically set to save power. Had to set that to off so my alarms would sound.
Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
I was experiencing the same issue with Alarm Clock Plus. You have to turn off automatic power save in order to get the alarm to sound.
I read on the nexus forums that marshmallow has a dozen feature that messes with aftermarket alarm clocks..app developer's have not fixed it...the cure was to have in on the charger and it would work
Sent from my SM-G935P using XDA-Developers mobile app
I was able to get the aftermarket alarm to work without being plugged in. I had to set the stock one prior to aftermarket one. Lol why even bother.

This is exactly what I ended up doing. Set the stock alarm 1 minute before my app to wake the phone up. My alarm wasn't sounding even trying all the other ideas... plugged in, priority notification, no auto powersave, and I don't even use Do Not Disturb.

How do I get always screen on while on charger?

When I put my phone on charger, for example my Qi-carholder, I would like to not have the screen going to standby, turnoff or anything. Just stay on so I can see what's playing etc.
Tried the setting in developer options but somehow it doesn't work. Maybe because of the always screen on function?
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
There is the Always On Display function, but I imagine it's not good for you...
No, if I want to change song or make a call in the car I don't want to unlock my phone every time. It has to stay unlocked and keep showing home screen or the app I'm using at that moment.

You might use this app:
Lucid - DayDream Screensaver
which has many modules so one can configure what is shown on the screen:
