Lightflow problem?

[zackh123]

I installed the 6.0 version of lightflow and it the different LED colors work if I test them one by one, but when I click "Tools" --> "All enabled LEDS Test" it flashes a bunch of colors extremely quick (within milliseconds) and then defaults to a slow blinking white led light. Has anyone had this problem?

Light Flow has such a poor reputation (check the Play store feedback), I honestly don't know why anyone bothers with it.

Every new OS update brings a new round of problems...

Do you recommend anything else?

After having problems with Light Flow, I uninstalled it and went with Light Manager LED. LM does not have as many features as LF but it works well and causes no issues on my 6P. I liked LM LED enough that I bought Light Manager Pro to support the developers. Give Light Manager LED a try, its free, and see if it does what you need.

Lightflow drove me bats*** crazy! No changes I made it settings worked. The screen would light up and the light would flash all the time. All night long. DND didn't affect it. I turned it off and it STILL flashed all the time! Terrible app. I had to u install it. What a waste of money.

Not being very helpful here, but I'm actually glad my N6 does not have a notification LED... And that's coming from someone who would use lightflow quite extensively on the N4.

Light manager seems more stable and is working better (Thanks!), but the overall problem still exists. If I get an Email (Red light) and a Text Message (Blue light) at the same time while my phone screen is off, Light Manger should blink BOTH blue and red correct? This does not happen on my phone. Has anyone else had this problem?

There is a setting to run alternating colors. Can't remember exactly, as I uninstalled Light Manager and installed Light Flow. I didn't like the constant notification of Light Manager in the notification area, and could not turn it off. If there is a way to do that I will uninstall Light Flow and and reinstall Light Manager. Other than that issue, Light Manager worked fine for me. Light Flow does seem to work fine for me as well, but I've only had it installed for a few days yet. I only have this 6P for a week, but I'm loving the phone's performance so far.

I dont use Light Manager, because LightFlow works fine for me.

In LightFlow, go to settings > Notification Control Style

There you can set exactly how it should handle multiple notifications.

Also has separate setting for when the phone is running on battery, as well as when on charge.

I've tried both and Light Manager works way better than Light Flow.

Hey Great Canadian,
I've just installed Light Manager as a result of reading this thread and I've found an option to remove all evidence of it in the Notification Shade.

Go into Advanced Settings, the second option down is "App Notification and Icon", this has an option to have both a notification and an icon, just a notification, or neither.

Cheers

Hey, thanks for that!! I guess I should have looked a little deeper into the settings!!
