Everything seems to be good with it from my experience, one thing I have noticed though is when I am on wifi, and cellular data is turned off via smart actions, all of my signal bars go away. I tired making a call and it slowly comes back to threee bars. Has anyone else seen this? While I was in a 3G area the signal was great and the hand off to 4G was very quick.
I have had issues with my signal bars showing no bars also, but when I check my phone info, it stats im in the -70's dbm for signal.
I toggle airplane mode and it seems to show the bars again. I use Juice Defender, so I'll see if I can tell it to leave my 4g on (when screen is on) all the time even when wireless is on (i think the 4g shows then, but will not actually be in use). This might fix this issue, but not sure.

I might check it out. However, I still think this is an issue, although a small one.

My charge led never worked. Pre-update, post-update... Lol, I don't think it's much of an issue personally if a free app fixes it, and does it better than stock. Ymmv.
I second that!. Here I was thinking my notification light could only do like 2 colors. Light flow has allowed me to do 6+ different colors, and has so many options (sound, vibrates) and even lets you assign certain colors to certain colors.
Good Stuff.

what is the main difference between the free and pay versions?

With the paid version, you can set it up to work with downloaded apps, ie Facebook, tapatalk, and many others. Really most anything that has notifications built into the app. Other than that, just supporting an awesome app is reason enough to buy it

and the dev is amazing. i had a minor issue getting it to work with one of my other apps when i first installed it. he emailed me back right away with a solution. problem solved. awesome app. awesome dev. so i bought it.
personally i only use smart actions when the batterys under 35%... shut all data n syncing off.
thing is it recommended i use battery extender... so i tried it. donno exactly what it was doing but when the phone was off, i think it was pretty much all off besides txt/calls. when put back on, it all comes back.
BAD idea. i work in a meat dept at a store. signal goes in and out due to being inside a cooler... out... in... out ect ect.
100% at the start of 8 hours, roughly 30-45 minutes of use and crap signal in 4g, ill have 75ish.
2 days straight with that extender i was at 35% before my shift was over.
is anyone else have wifi disconnect issues after this update?
when i'm home, my phone is always on my home wifi. i just installed the update yesterday and then last night the phone disconnected from my home network more times than it has since i bought it 3 months ago.

On your recommendation I downloaded it, even though my current notifications are working fine, just missing the battery charging light.
So far so good.
i've seen a few people talking about how they lost their charging led and i honestly have no idea what they're talking about...BUT...i'm pretty sure there's a setting in light flow to set one up.

I had to manually download this update. If I hadn't been coming to this site recently, I would have never had it. High five to whoever makes these updates pop up and ask you to update. I had the first one pop up, but not this one.

I tried the free version of lite flow to see how it worked prior to buying the full. I could not get a light ti turn on for anything? Maybe my Go Launcher EX notifier is taking control and not letting it do its thing. I uninstalled, bummer, sounded cool. (more that likley it is user error on my part
)

I have heard of it not working correctly with other apps that also control notifications. I don't use a launcher other than stock, so I can't help you there. I actually like the Blur launcher, and it works fine. Once (if) we get CM9, I'm sure I'll use ADW, though.

Thanks, I ran CM7 on my last phone (as well as MIUI, Vanilla Gbread, OMFGB, ICS and every other ROM out there
), loved it. I have been too afraid to root this one, but if CM9 comes out I may have to.

I was too, being used to the HTC way. This thing was a breeze to root, and although the terminology is all different, most of the commands ie; recovery and backup stuff all works the same. I just like certain root apps, and couldn't live w/o lol... It literally took me about 10 minutes excluding download times to get 'er rooted. (with some help from another staff member, just to be sure I wasn't gonna mess ish up) :thumbup:
