Galaxy S9 Issues - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hello,
1/ The blue notification light is not working on my S9, red is working when charging, green is also working when the charge is full but the blue light is only working when i reboot not on notifications, I have of course all notifications enabled.
2/ i always have to type several times (2 to 4 times) on the configuration icon to gain access to the configuration menu.
Does anyone has the same issues?

Yes my new S9 notification light never flashes when there has been a message notification.
The LED indicator in display settings is turned ON.
Is there another setting to adjust or is it a software bug?

Yes, it's probably a software bug, as i tried everything i read over the web and nobody seems to have the solution to solve that problem.
Yesterday i thought it would be fine because i received a software update from Samsung but it's even worse because it take now from 1 to +4 hours for my emails to reach my phone (gmail) and still no led indicator.
I hope the next upgrade will take care of this sutiation.

are either of you having network issues 4-5 a day i have to restart my phone to connect to the network.

Go SMS w/ notification LED

Has anyone been able to get their phones to have a blinking LED notification while using Go SMS pro...I enabled all the notification settings, but the LED only blinks when the screen turns on after first receiving a text message. After the screen times out, the blinking LED stops completely.
I was using handcent before and LED notification was working fine, but I was wondering if anyone figured out how to get it to work with Go SMS

I have mine setup where the screen doesn't turn on when I get a text, but it blinks like it should. When i test it, I have to turn the screen off to see the LED is working. That app has a TON of settings so I'm thinking there is something in there you can set on how long it will blink for.
Make sure the led color is set to blue. That may be it.

Does your blinking LED work, even with the screen set to turn on, unlock, and show the sms popup notification...I tried the suggestion about not having the screen turn on and just have the LED blink...that seems to work, but I was wondering if any one has figured out the right combination of settings that allows there to be a popup screen + LED notifications once the screen times out
Has anyone figured this out? I am having the same issue.
If someone figures out the exact problem the OP is having, please update and let us know. I have the same issue. PM me or something too. I'm using Xperia TX.
go sms led issue
hey there! hoping you can add some input to my quest for solving my problem.
problem is this:
i get a new message, turn the screen on, read the pop up, reply. the tesla unread app recognizes that i've seen the message and the unread message count goes away, yet the green LED keeps blinking as if i haven't seen anything. to stop the LED from notifying me about the message i just replied to, i swipe down the notifications tab and swipe it back up. then the LED stops blinking. very strange to me.
FIXED. settings needed to be changed on my phone.. not go sms app.
I just installed a new LED app called LEDBlinker Pro on my SIII (SGH-T999). It's required that the screen NOT turn on in order for the LED to blink. Despite me turning off of the "screen on" option under the app's (advanced) settings, the problem is GO SMS Pro continues to turn on the screen whenever there're incoming text messages. Thus no LED notification for me
I sent the GO Dev Team a message, but I was hoping someone else on here knows a fix. I really want to be able to use my new LED app.
Thanks in advance!
*Strangely, the LED notifications were working fine earlier this week, but then this suddenly occurred and I did not update GO SMS Pro or install any other apps recently.

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.

LED notification light (Solved)

Hi guys,
So this has been driving me nuts.
The notification blink light is turned on in Settings > Apps & Notifications > Notifications. However, I've never seen the LED actually turn on during normal usage. Not during charging, nor when charged, nor when I have any kind of notification active (emails, texts etc etc).
I suspected the actual LED component might be broken, so I downloaded Light Flow and ran some tests. Yes, the LED works and will display in any colour during Light Flow tests. However when I go back to just using the phone normally, nothing. The LED never turns on. I'm on 8.1. Completely stock. No root.
Any clue why this is happening? I'd appreciate any help or ideas whatsoever.
Thanks!
Ben.

My LED works too at least when I test it. However it does not work when enabled. Seems like google disabled it on purpose because of the on screen notifications.

Confirmed... that fixed it. Thanks.
OK, so after doing this, the notification light will blink when i receive an incoming email, text, or call?

[Q] Notification LED always active

I've got the phone 2 weeks ago and ever since then the notification LED randomly blinks almost all the time.
It blinks green every second even though there are no notifications.
Tried turning off the alarm and AOD but to na avail.
LG-G710EM, stock V10f-EUR-XX.
It also blinks when there is a real notification, but since it blinks constantly- I can't "trust" the LED.
Is there a way I can find out what's triggering it?
I believe it turns off sometimes but I can't figure out what is the cause.
I've had S8 and didn't have those kind of problems with the LED and I've had the sam apps (plus/minus Samsung and LG stock apps).

It would help if you told us exactly what phone and model you have.
Is it stock or modded?
I've never seen any such issue with my stock G710EAW. The green LED only blinks when there is a message notification.

Sorry, it's LG-G710EM, stock V10f-EUR-XX.
I've updated the first post.
The LED on my G7 always blinks when I receive a new email, even if I turned the notifications off for that. Maybe your emails?

Nope- tested it just now.
Although it stopped today during the day- but continued now again.
Today it didn't turn on until now.
It was on the charger and was blinking red since it was charging.
But when it came to a 100%- it started blinking green (when off the charger and the screen is off).
If I wake up the phone- it stops.
No notifications of any kind.
But it stopped blinking when the battery dropped to 99%.
EDIT: Yep, it seems like the 100% battery makes it light up.

Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite - Notification LED issues

Hi,
I have a new bought Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite and my notification LED light sometimes does not blink when there are notifications (e.g. WhatsApp messages).
That happens independent of how long the phone has been put away and independent of internet connection etc., the LED light only turns on in around 80% of all cases.
In the other 20% of cases, the light is not flashing, and when I unlock the phone I have a normal notification icon on the top of the screen.
I already checed all settings for notifications, everything seems to be fine.
maybe someone can help me?

Hi, for me deactivating Ambient display did the trick (Settings --> Display --> Advanced --> Ambient display (set it to Off).
Hope that helps.

hi
thanks for the tip, but it still sometimes doesnt light up.
Also, I noticed that sometimes it happens that the light goes on (as it should) when I receive a message, but after some time (15min+) the notification light disappears...
Could be a hardware issue as it works just fine for me.
so I will order another Xiamo Mi A2 Lite and look if the problem also occurs there.. :/
I had encountered this as well at times I thought it was just software issue.
