Here is how you can make your LED notification enabled Android Smartphone experience more enjoyable and less annoying by using custom software and settings. A LED notification is identifiable as small light that blinks to indicate different notifications on your phone when the screen is off. Phone manufactures include and LED notification to make notification easier to the phone user and prevent the hustle of having to press the power button and maybe having to unlock the phone in order to check for messages or missed calls. Although the notification bar can provide these, it is much better to just take a quick glance at your phone and know if you have a text, email, calendar reminder or the battery is low. What are light emitting diodes (LEDs) and how do they work? Since and LED is very vital in your phone and may influence how it operates, let’s take a quick look into the science behind the LED. LED or Light Emitting Diode is simply a semiconductor that emits light when charged with electricity. It is made up of two electrodes that give off almost not heat. How it works makes it more durable and energy saving that an ordinary bulb. Interestingly, LEDs can produce numerous colors after utilizing some smart color combination. These types of LEDs are referred to as RGB LEDs. They are notification lights that flow in red, green, blue or a mix of these three colors. LEDs are used in flood lights, phone screens; which can either be LED backlit or LCD, backlights in the keyboard. The camera flash too is a LED, it is a bright white LED that flashes for a short period of time .LEDs are difficult to damage with physical shock unlike bulbs making them very durable especially in environments with rough handling. How to check if my smartphone has customizable LED notification On the phone screen, LEDs are located on the front part of the body, either above or below the screen while some manufacturers have decided to place theirs on the edges of the phones body. Important to note is that not all phones come with a LED notification. It is important to check and ensure your phone has LED notification. Usually, it is indicated on the phones manual or package box. With the first few hours of operation a phone, you will also notice the LED blinking when the screen ids off to indicate various notifications. Some phones, will however be limited to one or two colors, this does not however mean you cannot customize things a little bit, as we will see. You can specify different colors to individual notifications. How do i customize the LED notification? The LED has three basic features; The color of the LED, does it blink or does it flash a constant color and finally, for how long is it on. When you purchase a phone, settings for the LED are usually set as default. Blinking red, for example, may be used to indicate battery low, while a constant blue color may be used to indicate message. These settings cannot be change on device that has not been rooted. LED notifications are linked to particular applications. Therefore you need to go to the particular applications. Under options on setting in the individual application, then notifications, you will find an option for LED notification. You can then turn this on an off. In some applications you will have an option for the LED color. If not, then you might need to check or wait for an update from the developer to provide you with this option. In basic phone applications such as the messenger, if your phone has LED notification, you will find various options available for you. Here, you can scroll through to check if you can change the color for how long will it blink. If you are constantly on your phone, then you will probably set shorter duration for the LED to flash. If your phone lacks most of these custom setting, you next option will be the various apps on the play store. The advantage of these apps is that they are created to suit you’re the user; they will therefore be filled with numerous options that will only be limited by your phones available hardware features. Here Is A Review Of Some The Top Three LED Notification Customization Apps For Android. 1. Light manager With 3.7 star rating currently on Google play store, light manager is a pretty good app for. It enables you to set up notifications for missed calls, SMS, Gmail, calendar and all your social media apps. It is available for android 4.3 onwards and has three operating modes; 1.Normal mode, in which only the first notification will be flashing. Alternative mode, where a few LED notifications will be flashing alternately for multiple notifications received and screen mode where notification alert will be shown on the screen. The applications supports five colors; Green, Orange, Yellow, Pink or Blue. It boasts of 5 million downloads and standing at 1.5 megabytes it will not put any strain on your phone memory. Light manager pro is also available at 1.45 $ and has some very interesting features. 2. Light flow – LED control In addition to letting you control the color your LED flashes, light flow gives you an extra option of controlling the notification sound. Not like the usual notification sound for texts of email, but sound control with repeating sounds and repeating vibrations. Just like the repeating flash of the LED. The app also supports android wear vibration support and lock screens. The application will control the notification color for SMS messages, missed calls, low battery and all your social media apps. The icing on the cake is sleep mode, which limits the notifications as you enjoy your beauty sleep. Light flow is free to install and stands at 11mb. Its rating of 3.6 and 5 million downloads indicates that it is a really good app 3. LED blinker notifications Lite Just like the previous applications, LED blinker, formerly LED blinker, enables you to set specific color notifications for different apps. If you don’t have LED notification enable LED in your device, the application uses the screen instead .The lite version supports ads but if you get the full version, the ads go away, plus support for all apps. In addition the full version supports contact specific colors for Whatsapp and missed call. Think of how helpful that would be. The full version also comes with different color schemes and a save battery pocket mode. The application works for most android versions, starting from kit Kat to nougat versions. The application is free and requires 3.3 Mb only. Its rating of 3.5 and one million downloads is also quite impressive. How to Use LED Notification apps to customize your Android Phone. After you have downloaded either of the apps on your phone and installed, launch the app by clicking on it. Some may have a quick guide on how to use them but if they don’t you can look through and get familiar with the app layout. The app will need permission to access your notifications. When this option appears, click yes, since the app will not be useful if it cannot control your notifications. Next, you will need to look at the various options available. Choosing colors Taking Light manager for example, the interface has an option on the second row on top that asks you to enable the app to access your notifications. Below it is the various applications for which it can modify the LED notifications. A missed call which is the first on the list has green as the default. If you want to change this, you click on the row for color and a list appears with all the colors the app can set for missed calls. You can then pick a desired color, say blue. Testing After that, you can test to see how good the light works for you. In addition, there is an option to change the flash rate, either none or up to five seconds. Missed calls are followed by message and other applications available in your phone. At the bottom is an option to add applications not in the list. It is important to note however that not all devices will support all the colors listed. There are some which have two default colors, say green and red. These are the only colors that will flash and selecting a new color like blue will show no effect or will be substituted by a color available by the device. It would be wise to check the specs of the phone or tablet you are going to buy to be sure that it supports the multiple colors For phones that have this support, such as the One Plus 3, you will have some customizing options in your phones settings. To do this, go to the settings menu, then customization or personalization section, Scroll through and select LED notification. A list pops up that allows you to make various changes. You could for example choose to have the LED flash when battery is low or the color to pop when you have a waiting notification. In addition are many other options that you can choose from such as lock screen LED notification but it is important to remember that these options vary from one device to another. Merits of using Apps to customize your Led Notifications The applications size makes them really fast and do not end up clogging your phone. LEDs notification gives you a huge advantage over conventional notifications. Let’s say you are in a room talking some serious business and you are really curious to know if a particular person has tried to call you, all you have to do is look at your phone briefly without having to unlock it. LED notifications can be really useful at night or in the dark where you don’t want to light up the screen for various reasons to check for text of Facebook update. Some phones flash the LED in a continuous line of over a certain area when playing music or showing the usual notifications which is pretty cool. LEDs consume minimal power and do not even put a dent on your phone battery. Not to forget, the large LED at the back of the phone that serves as a flashlight or helps you take those spectacular photos. Cons On the downside, LEDs are limited to few phones and you will have to chip out some good cash to purchase a phone with the full array of colors available. In some phones, you cannot make any changes on the LED, not even turning it off. This can be really disappointing since we all love android for its unlimited customizability. As much as LED is useful having your phone flash during hours when you are busy or sleeping can be annoying to the extent where you want to throw your phone into the wall. Sometimes the feature may misbehave causing the LED to blink even when there is no notification and when it comes to this extent where you just want to turn it off no matter what you might face difficulties if you do not know exactly what you are looking for. It’s a wonder just how much customization can be possible on the android platform and before you throw away a possibly useful feature of your android smartphone; you can try to install one of the smarter apps that know when to disable the blinking during sleep hours. Turning LED notifications off When enough is enough and you want to get rid of the blink completely at any cost then it will depend on your specific smartphone, for users of Samsung galaxy S6 for instance, head to settings by pulling on the notifications area and tapping the settings icon. Now you will go to the device option and next the sounds and notifications option. At the end of the list is the option labeled LED and tapping on this should reveal the options to turn it off. This might be different depending on what android device you are on and you can always visit your manufacturer’s website for support on how to customize and turn off LED notifications. In conclusion, LED notification can be a very useful feature of your android device especially when it can be customized and does not disturb you when you are resting so you turn it off.
