Light flow question

**samkatz** · 12-24-2011, 09:26 AM

after a lot of playing around in the complex menus I got Light flow to make the LED flash for different alerts when the phone is in sleep.

I cannnot get it to flash at all to indicate "charging" battery run-down, or fully charged using the menu options. I thought maybe my battery power utlization app was conflicting and removed it, but can't get any alerts on power,. Has anyone set this up to work yet?? TX

I only use it for the charge notification.
Make sure you don't have the box checked to not show led when charging box under charge settings.

I have screen one "Enable Light Flow and "Run in Foreground" checked

Notification: Charging-

Notification Type-- Not sure I understand "Prioriity Only vs "Cycle Very Slow", I;'ve tried both

Then under "Notifications" I have "Charging Battery:"
Enable Notification checkd
Enable Light Checked
A color selected...

Do you know what I"m doing wrong??? Tx

never mind!!! I think I got the priority thing right....I had checked Priority, and didnt see the sub menu where you set the priority...I had it very low. So I checked cycle on and off.... That might be an issue w/some of my other alerts.

No. I wouldnt know how to root and never used android before GNEX
... If you've used it before you should have no problem
. I had trouble understanding all the options, also, how it wouldn't conflict w/settings I have on the phone.
At one point I was getting double alerts for everything. A text would come in and I'd get two pings......It's a very powerful(no pun intended) app I think if you know how to use it. I pretty much disabled all the sound alerts in Light flo and just use it for the LED.
I was getting absolutely no LED flashing before installing this app.

Anyone know how to get it so the LED only comes on when fully charged, when having the Charged Battery notification on. Mine starts to flash at 90%

It's in the charge settings. You can set it to show charging and charged. Turn it off for charging in notification settings.

One thing I noticed with the charging indicator is that, for me, it doesn't work if you have the plug already in when you turn the phone on. Then it doesn't do the charging blink. It only blinks if you put the plug in after it's turned on.

Also, as far the constant blinking, do you have it set to blink whenever there is a data signal? I think that is one of the options.

There is also a setting in the "Charged" notification area to control this called "Threshold." The default is 90%. You can also set it to 95%, 99% and 100%.

Not sure how I missed that, thanks!
