Default [Q] Screen On Notification for Gmail?
Hey all,

As the SGS2 doesn't have an LED for notifications I am now using an app called "FlashNotify" which will repeatedly light up the screen when I have a missed call or unread SMS waiting. The problem is it doesn't support unread Gmail...is there some other app that will achieve this?

Thanks

Russ

NoLED does but it's a bit buggy if you're using WidgetLocker as well. If not, it should be fine.

It looks great and doesn't use too much battery due to the SAMOLED+ display

could you possibly do a small test, for say half an hr with the notification on and the drain it has on the battery?

Hmmm, no amount of screwing with the settings in no led is getting it to work for me. Does not function at all.
