LED Light Manager - Issues

[Troyg3]

Anyone use LED Light Manager on the S6? I loved it on my S3 and when I got my S6 I immediately installed it and set it up for apps like Messages, Gmail, etc. the issue is it is sporadic at best where it will sometimes show the LED notification when a message comes through, but not always. Is there maybe a better app for the S6 that does the same thing?

LED Managers have always struggled to work with new Samsung devices right out of the gate. Your best option is to report the bug to the devs and hope they fix it pronto. The most annoying bug so far is having the TalkBack service constantly activated, so if you wanted to use apps like LightFlow, you'd have to endure your phone talking back with every interaction. Not worth it.

I use Light Flow pro and I have no issues at all. No requirement for Talkback to be activated.

I would certainly be willing to pay for it if it does what I need. In addition to colors for individual app notifications, are you able to set vibrate patterns for individual notifications as well? I would like different patterns for text, phone, email, FB, etc. Also do you need to disable notifications on the apps you are going to assign to Light Flow, or does it just override the default notification? Thanks!

Yes, you can set individual vibration patterns as well as whether to have them repeat. You would only need to disable the vibration feature in the individual app. Although Light Flow can do both sound and vibration, I only use the vibration and notification light feature. It has a mode to automatically disable notifications if you have do not disturb enabled - very useful!

Excellent! I think i'm going to give it a try. Thanks!!

I uninstalled my Lightflow because it had a wakelock on my device to only allow 6hrs of battery life of I used or didn't use my phone . I'm happy you are having good results for your Lightflow app
