[Q] LED Notification Light Will Not Flash - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The LED notification light will not flash for messages or specific set notifications . All LED settings are turned on, each was turned off and back on, LED notification is turned on, accessibility LED is turned. Battery was removed and reinstalled. No change. Several suggestions online regarding installing an LED manager. Installed Lightflow, no change., uninstalled. Currently installed Light Manager, no change. With LED managers checked box in Security for downloaded apps access to notification. When I turn off LED notification and then turn back on, I checked each feature for notification and the light blinks to confirm color, but then will not blink when an actual notification happens. Any ideas?

Have you tried settings>accessibility> scroll all the way to bottom and activate the service for whatever notification app you are using.

Yes that was the first thing done.

Don't know if this also applies to you:
If you go withing settings to Display-->LED notifications and do a long-press on that one you can find a number of check-marks.
The last one is for "Downloaded applications" - I had the same issue once when a check-mark was missing there

[Q] Pulse notification light?

I was recently going through the phone's settings menu, and in sound and display there is a section called pulse notification light which according to the description, pulses LED light repeatedly for new notifications. I have this checked to do this, but I have never seen the LED pulse for any notifications, whether it be incoming calls, sms, or email. I have checked and unchecked it, rebooted the phone, but to no avail I see no pulse notification.
Am I missing something here?
My phone is totally stock for the OS, and applications.
The notification LED light only blinks if the screen is off and if the notification LED light setting is enabled within their respective applications.
The screen is off, and I don't see any setting within the default messaging app, or the gmail app that says anything about LED notifications. I don't think that is very smart for a smartphone. I hate the phone vibrating while sitting on my desk, I would rather have the LED flashing to notify me of new messages, and/or email.
I'm sorry, there is no LED notification in the settings, bad memory LOL. The LED should work as long as Notifications is checked, although it may be defective, like blinking 5 times when you first receive an email or message, and then blinks sporadically afterwards. A fix is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11292197&postcount=4
It could very well be the case that your LED light is not working and you should go to a repair center to get it checked out.

[Q] Notification Light

I am using Light Flow but have been seeing a yellow notification light and there is nothing that it is notifying. I am not positive, but I think I saw the same color notification before loading Light Flow.
I can not figure out what this is notifying me of and in Light Flow I don't have anything notify me in yellow.
Anyone know what's going on with the light?
I have the same issue as well. Even after I uninstalled light flow it remains.
You need to go into whatever is set for yellow, and find the setting that removes notifications. I had yellow set for google talk, but the notification light would go off until I physically opened the app, even if the notification was removed from the status bar. You can set it so that the notification light disappears upon turning on the screen.

Yea, I uninstalled the app, when I did have it I did use the setting you mentioned but it didn't help.
It would be nice for Google to build in something like Light flow into the system Nativity that wouldn't be so buggy.

LED Notification won't turn off. Stays green.

For some reason my friends SGS3 from T-Mobile keeps a green LED Notification on when the setting is checked on the events LED Notification. He does not have anything open at all and nothing is in the notification bar.
This is a strange occurring as it also causes any other LED selected in the APP as lightflow to be a different color. Like if I put purple, it will be yellowish.
This doesn't happen when I uncheck the events LED Notification but I keep the other ones open. So charging the light is still red when charging.
What can be causing the events LED notification to be staying on if all events are cleared, etc. Is there just something open that I can't see? This happens even with lightflow disabled. Did anyone else have this problem?

Notification light not working

I have a stock Note 4, never been rooted. When I used to plug in the charger, the notification light would light up red with the screen off, and if I had notifications it would blink blue.
Today it stopped doing that. I tried restarting and removing the battery, same thing. The only time the light will come on is if I restart my phone, it turns blue for a little bit, but notifications nor a power cable plugged in will trigger it.
Phone is less than a month old, I don't have the TEP on it, would Sprint replace it with a refurb model if they're unable to fix it?
edit: I found a way around it by going to accessibility > notification reminder > and turning on LED indicator, when I turn it on though it warns me that using this feature disables the charging notification. I guess it’s better than having no notification light at all.
edit2: there's another option under settings > display and wallpaper > LED indicator. for some reason that was unchecked. turned it on and everything is back to normal.

Thank you!! I had the exact same problem and the "edit2" solution solved it perfectly. :highfive:
Has a proper fix been found for this yet? I have a Samsung Note 4 that was just updated to Android 5.1.1 and the LED notification stopped working. I have gone through all of the settings that effect it, but nothing works. I am not interested in a work around. I am only interested in having my phone function as it is supposed to.

Letv x800 cuoco92 14s: Blue Led Notification Light always on

Hi all
I'm new around here so can't comment in the ongoing dev thread for the cuoco92 ROM.
After flashing this ROM, the notification led light became blue (not an issue) but more worryingly it is always on. It is continously on from the moment the phone is turned on till it is shut down.
Anyone have the same issue? Any solutions?
So I am still not sure why that happened but I found a quick solution:
1- Install this app: (Can't post URL) Light Manager - LED Settings from the Play Store
2- Choose some random settings in the app and apply them. At this point, the persistent blue led light turned off.
3- Uninstall the app.
*#*#76937#*#*
And turn off - "Sleep sign on".
