NoLED Broken on Sensation?

---

Has anyone used the "Blink" feature of NoLED?

It seems that when I enable the "Blink" feature, the screen never turns off for notifications. It just stays on wasting away battery, which defeats the purpose of the feature.

Has anyone been able to use this feature successfully?

Doh, the app developer has confirmed that it looks like it's caused by Sense 3.0:

Does anyone have a NoLED alternative?

Just looking for something that will continue to vibrate/make sounds if a notification hasn't been looked at, but without keeping the screen on permanently.

Missed Call Deluxe? I believe its working fine for me...

Wouldn't recommend this app on anything besides an amoled screen.

Why?

Not sure if you knew this but you can set it to turn off the screen via proximity sensor (when in your pocket/bags/etc) so it doesn't waste battery.

Amoled will only turn on a few pixels for the icon rather than the whole screen. Even if it's off for proximity sensor you'll likely still run into sleep issues due partial wakelock to activate the sensor.

I've been using it for 2 weeks, zero wakelock issues.

Try using an app first before trashing it

I would have thought the same thing. Only rather than wake lock issues, the screen will show a lot of battery usage if it's constantly turned on. I guess I'm saying I was also under the impression that it was only for AMOLED screens.

Nope. Aside from the "Blink" feature, it works amazingly well!

The screen feature isn't even what I find the most useful part.

The best thing is that I can set it to re-vibrate and make a sound every 10 minutes if I have a notification I haven't looked at.

If you get a notification and you're not in the room, well, you'll never EVER know with the Sensation just by looking at it since the LED turns off after 5 minutes (seriously, who the hell made that decision????).

But with NoLED, the re-vibrate and periodic sounds are just downright amazing, even if you choose to not use the screen-on feature.

Even better, you can customize the re-vibration strength/pattern. I'll rarely ever feel the vibration in my pocket of normal app notifications. But I have NoLED set to 3-vibrations which I'll definitely feel in my pocket (or even hear!).

By the way, is there an app that does *just* the periodic vibration/sound?

I hope we get BLN later on.
