The NOLED app is made for when your phone is on standby (black screen but still on) say your in the other room and get either a text or call and did not hear your ringtone/texttone. Instead of having to check your phone everytime for a new message or call. The black standby screen will either have a colorful message looking icon flash on the standby or a phone looking icon will flash on the standby screen until you go out of standby and check you message/call. That is the point. Like my DX2. It DOES have a LED that flashes green when I miss a text or call when in another room and didnt hear it go off. I see the green light blink and I know someone has contacted me. It's just made for phones that don't have that option but you still can use it even if you do have that option. Though I do hear that the app CAN drain your battery faster as it works with your screen which we all know, the Charge's amazing screen is a majority of battery drain. (in my opinion)

RIPcharge,
AHH...I see said the blind man. Now I understand why some folks like NOLED. As you said, because it is constantly monitoring and/ or displaying a red or green icon/light for messages or calls it would continuously use extra battery power with the black screen up. There is no free lunch! That feature is not for me but I'm sure others love it..
We have PROVEN this, in our motorhome, when we were in areas of no VZ service and forgot to go to Airplane mode or completely turn off the phone. Later we found what was a well charged battery was down to 15%...yuk!
You are "spot on," the display screen uses most of the battery's power.
Best regards,
JerryF

I use NOLED and am fairly satisfied with it. I do worry it adds to the ridiculous battery life problems with this phone. I just don't understand why Samsung (or any other manufactuerer) would design a phone without the simple LED light that I've had on every other smart or dumb phone I've ever owned. It doesn't make any sense to me. I need to see if I've got a message or email. I run around a work and the "Droid" audio message is just not enough to catch my attention all the time.
NOLED works most of the time, but wouldn't it have been simpler to just put the LED in the phone?
