Notification light works here without any issues. Make sure u don't have stamina mode "on". I've read somewhere that restore from google account backup messes up the notification led. So, u may try a factory reset without backup restore if anything else doesn't work out.
This has been discussed before, try searching the forum before posting. Also, I think its the wrong section for Q&A / troubleshooting.

Yeah I typed before I searched.
Did the rest, all good

No notification blinking light for SMS/MMS

Hi guys.
Am running a stock Evo 4g, and when i receive text messages, the notification light does not flash. Iv made sure to check that is checked on in the settings menu, but for some reason more often than not ive an unread text message (SMS) but the notification led does not flash. the notification light flashes just fine for all other alerts, eg gmail.
also, am using the built in sms app. no third party sms/mms apps installed.
what gives?
regards,
asmd.
Did you check in the messaging app settings or just phone settings...I'm not sure but there might be something in there that has it turned off...I can't confirm cus I'm running miui and my settings menu is different than yours I'm sure

thanks for the reply.
have checked both menus. The setting menu as well as the messaging app menu. cant find anything that could have been turned off to set the notification led not to flash.
regards,
asmd.
googling for this only brings up my own post here at xda!!
wtf?? how can i be the only one with this problem?
am running stock, no root, a couple of games installed, skype, fb... no alternate core system apps. triple checked all settings, and yet it doesnt flash when i receive text messages.
*disgruntled*
asmd.
after a couple of resets, ive got the notification led back again.
really know what i did to get it working or what caused it to stop.
so summary, reset solved the problem. (after 3rd time)
Just so you know, the LED will stop blinking after 6-7 minutes of you receiving a text/MMS/missed phone call....
It's by design. A HTC rep told me it was to 'conserve' on battery power.... LED's don't use THAT much juice...
thanks for the reply.
i knew that.
my problem was that it wouldnt flash at all on receiving a new text message.
but its working now.
wish i knew what went wrong.

[Q] Notification Light Test

Does anyone know of a way to test the notification lite. I have a feeling mine isnt working anymore. I had lightflow install that was running my notification lights. As of yesteray the light doesn't come on anymore with alerts come in.
Is there a way to test in the system or somethuing to see if its still wroking? thanks
BTW im Rooted and ROMed on AOKP27.
send your self an email, or having someone text you?:????
Email yourself, or use GV to SMS yourself, etc. etc.
Check in your settings, if "Puls Notification Light" is still checked
If it is, reboot your phone. If it still doesn't work, ry a different ROM...

Light flow, notifications, missed call (or any of the apps), all the way at bottom is test. Will probably need screen off to get notification light to blink.

[Q] Notification LED Constant Blue

This just started today. My notification light is a constant blue. It won't go off. I have no notifications of any kind. In fact I turned off everything. I'm not using Lightflow. I wiped cache and dalvik and even reflashed the Kernel (Franco). It's really eating the battery.
Any solutions? Most appreciative.
which rom?

thats the kernel lol. if youre on AOKP or CM9 check the led light settings
if its not that then it must be one of the apps in the background
Duh, sorry. I knew that. It's stock.
I can't find any running Apps that would enable an always on blue light. I've never seen this light except by modification. My green notification light is definitely not engaged at the moment as I've gotten numerous texts and emails that would have triggered it.
Any ideas at all?
have you got lightflow installed but disabled? if so you can check the accessibility settings to see if it is actually turned off,
other than that i cant see what could be causing a blue led. the GNex led by default is white for notifications. last resort would be to do a backup and factory reset
No Lightflow installed.
Damn!
install a battery monitoring application to see what exactly is eating your battery, that might show up with something

You said in the OP you weren't using it, not that it wasn't installed. If you're going to be rude, then fix the problem yourself.

Uh, wasn't rude. Just responding to his question. The damn was directed at my frustration.
Peace.
Did you just install handcent?That blinks my light blue for texts.
Facebook notifications blinks blue too
Facebook notifications are completely turned off.
Handcent has been installed forever. But I haven't made any changes to the notification process. And the light doesn't blink. When the screen is off it is constant on.
The light recently turned off. But as soon as I unlocked it and locked it again the light came back.
Weird....and sooo frustrating.
All of your LED notifications are disabled? In that case, enable them ALL! LOL, That's what I would do anyway. And try to receive as many notifications as possible. Worth a shot.
At this point, I would just wipe the phone and redo a clean install. You'll end up less frustrate than trial and error to find the fix.

Yeah, but I'm really trying to avoid this. My next step is a Nandroid restore.
Sigh....
Today I had the same on CM10, freshly installed (with wipe) yesterday. I shut off the screen and the blue LED goes on constantly.
Before that, I had this issue on Stock ROM. Really don't know what's going on there, some ppl in german forums are having the same issue.
A reboot or some tricks (send yourself a text message) do help clear the LED. My catlog says nothing, i.e. I didn't found any suspect message.

Light Flow issue fixed on 4.1.1

Hey guys. Im having a problem with Light Flow. Im sure a lot of you use it? Although i couldnt find many threads on it. I even searched Google for this issue. So hopefully you guys can help.
Anyways im using Light Flow 3.0.2
And it works great but a lot of the time ill get a notificiation (screen will be off) the LED will flash its appropreate color. Ill check the notification (Lets say Gmail) read the email, delete the email, respond to the email w/e and turn the screen off again.
Then the LED will still be flashing for that notification even though i checked it and erased it.
The only way i have found to fix this other then reboot ofcourse is to go into Light Flow > Notifications. I notice when i do this LightFlow gets granted Superuser then i exit turn screen off and all is good.
Any ideas?

Did you make sure you don't have any other app notifications that have the same color?
Are you using any task killers or killing the app with the hold of back button?
Same issue here, disabled it until it gets an update to support JB.

for me
when removed the app it disabled the vibration for new sms, gmail ..etc
tried everything without success (disabled settings & re-enable it, rebooting, ...etc), so I didn't bother to install it again after a factory reset (stock ICS by the way)
if anyone had the same problem and knew how to correct it let me know.
delete me please
There is a lightflow widget that clears all lightflow notifications when tapped.
I am just using that while waiting for a fix (which couldn't come soon enough).
FYI guys with JB 4.1.1 I got light flow to work 100%

The missed call notification does not go away even after entering the app, that is the dialer.

So i found out a little more.
So for me before 4.1.1 SMS was my biggest issue that notification would never go away unless i manually cleared it with the app or the widget.
I noticed that is was working on 4.1.1 after i went to accessibility and turned it off and then on again for Lightflow. after i did this i noticed that the notification for SMS was clearing on its own. So i thought it was all good.
UNTIL
I reset/tuned off the phone and received another txt. The notification would not clear on its own. So i was messing around with it and went back to accessibility and turned it off and on again and now the SMS notification clears itself until the next reset of the phone.
Hope it works for you guys. I dont mind toggling a setting until an update comes out.
lightflow issues not fixed on 4.1.1 derp :silly:
Gtalk and Gmail both clear correctly. Gonna see how it is with SMS and Missed Call when I get one of those.
uh. what's up with the title of this thread?
How about on 4.1? Is it playing nice on there? A ToroPlus GNex here...I will buy it if yes
I just downloaded the lite to try it. I feel like its hit or miss. Too much customization and easy to get lost. For example, right now, I have two different notifications going off for like SMS and email. Because within the SMS and email app themselves I've defined a notification sound and then within light flow settings you can define a sound. So I get x2. I think the trick may be to go into the app settings themselves and set them to silent. Then use light flow and set the sounds up. That seems to be the KEY. However, there is a learning curve it seems to this APP. Once you set it up, your good...but dam it takes awhile.
Colors are working good though, but the dismissal of notification via "opening the app" dont work worth crap. You have to set it to "on screen" dismissal
Plus I found myself disabling and re-nabling the app from withing settings --> Accessibility often.

No, I was fine on 4.0.4 but when i went to 4.1 it stopped working, I'm now on 4.1.1 and it's still not working.
It is a fantastic app though, I'm sure the developer will update the app eventually to work with 4.1.1.

[Q] Lose of SMS Tone/Notification

I'm getting no sms notifications (not in status bar or SMS tone) and I can't link my ring tone and SMS tone volume. Even with aftermarket ringer apps. The options r grayed out. Has this happened before?
I was rooted, then unrooted and went back to stock ROM. Using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you restore data when you went back to stock?
If so, I'd try to factory data reset and configure your phone from scratch loading no data.
i did restore data, then did another factory reset. still had the same issue. i'll try it again.

i did another factory reset and still nothing. Both of the apps i downloaded have the box grayed out for combining the ringer and SMS volume.
i downloaded "Quick Settings & Rvolume Control".

I'm more worried that you aren't getting any notifications for SMS.
Are you using the stock Messaging app?
Are the notifications turned on (stupid question I know but its a question that needs asking sometimes)

I followed what I could and nothing. The notification toggle isn't in the pull down. I went and got another copy from qbking77 and flashed again. Still nothing.
