Notification light replacement

**vinny jr** · 10-12-2011, 09:05 PM

In the market for free there is an app called "noled" it works pretty good. It gives you a different colored light for different notifications. It even has a charging light. You can set it up to shut off at night. Check it out, made for devices like the SG2.

I plan on using this until the phone is rooted and has a kernel with BLN.

Which LED would it use for notifications? Mine doesn't appear to have a notification LED of any sort and I will admit that is one thing I miss from my BlackBerry days.

That app doesn't really use an LED on your phone as a notification light, but it uses the screen and displays little icons or whatever you pick from the app to display on a black screen. Only downside to this is i assume your screen has to stay on when a notification is on it or it might prevent your phone from sleep which in the end i would assume would lead to a shorter battery life then someone without using it.

The screen does not have to remain on, uses very little battery power. Try it, if you don't like it get rid of it. I need the notification light.

Also consider the Flashlight Alerts app. It turns the camera LED into a notification LED.

But in the initial specs, they said that the T-Mobile Galaxy S II did have a Notification LED??!?

My previous Tmo G2X also doesn't have notification. Then there was an app in market to turn the 4 buttons into notification. Hope there is one for this phone.

Thanks
