Scenario:
I plug my phone in at night to charge. When I wake up, I expect to see the notification light blinking for new gmail, however, it doesn't. I then activate the screen and expect to see a gmail notification in the notification bar, and that is missing as well.
I than open gmail, and it looks as if there were no emails since the previous night. However, the gmail refresh icon is running and after about a minute, all of my emails since the night before then show up in my inbox.
Is there some setting somewhere that tells gmail not to sync when the phone is in sleep mode?
I haven't installed any power management apps although, on my last phone when I had JuiceDefender, gmail sync was not affected.
Any ideas? THANKS!
Am I missing something, I don't get the notification light to flash when I get new emails with gmail app, it's ticked in the setting for it to do this, but it's not.
The Gmail app has the notification option ticked - although there is no specific option for notification lights in there.
I've searched around for this issue and haven't quite found the same issue or a fix... My phone doesn't notify me when I get an MMS. SMS works normal - screen turns on, shows preview of message, LED light blinks, and I have a counter on the lock screen showing how many messages there are. Email and missed calls work fine too.
But when I get a picture message, the phone doesn't light up, no counter on lock screen, no LED - basically no indication that I got a picture. Until I open up the messages app and see the thread with unread messages. If i get a normal SMS sometime after the MMS, the lock screen counter has the total number of unread messages (SMS + MMS), but no other indication of a missed MMS before that. Same thing happens when I get group messages (i.e., from iPhone users), although they do sort correctly into a group thread.
Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? I've looked all over the settings in the phone and messages app. I have Go SMS installed for emojis and better group messaging, but I have all of its notifications off and the stock messages app set to default for receiving. Is there something else in there?
Running CleanROM 4.7 (although I've been having this issue for at least the past couple iterations of CleanROM).
Thanks for any help offered.
Hi.
first of all. I'm using 3.71 legacy version on my N5x.
Yesterday I added 2 exchange accounts to my gmail and I wanted to set different LED colour blinking notif.
In LF I added both accounts over "pre-defined app list" and all settings (except colour of LED) are the same as for primary gmail account.
But I noticed that LED blinkin don't work. When new email arrives, LED jus blink once and that's all...
I've also done "test mode" for notification and I noticed, that I have to select "exclude from sleep mode" for LED started to blink as excpeted.
But than, in "real mode" it doesn't work.
Any solution?
Thank you.
Hey everyone. I'm coming from phones that haven't had always on displays so I didn't really think it was necessary but now that I've turned it off I noticed that when I get notifications the LED doesn't work for anything except my work e-mail through the outlook app. No gmail, allo, hangouts etc. I've also turned off edge notification and tried toggling the LED notifications, rebooting and a bunch of other stuff. Am I missing something simple? It seems like I should be able to get an LED notification for everything even if they are the same color.
Edit: whoops i totally meant to post this in the questions forum.. if the mods could move it that would be great >_<
I've got the same issue, I can't find settings to adjust led
really would like to know this...always have the AOD off

You have to do it in the app settings by going to settings/app/ pick your app then go in notifications /notifications /importance and change it to urgent.
I've done this but it's still not working !

Sorry! Working here
Mine is working, but I noticed that there seems to be a timeout on the LED. So if I don't clear the notification or look at the message or email then LED will stop flashing ( approx 30 minutes). During that time I have opened the home screen and dragged down notifications view from the status bar, but as I said I have not cleared or viewed emails or messages
Well, i'm happy it's working for you but in my case it seems gmail app don't accept led notification at all.

Yes you are right , just tested and sent an email to my gmail account and the LED does not flash although I get a lockscreen notification . However I also use the samsung mail app to get gmail and when that synchronises with gmail, then the LED will flash.
I had a look at the settings in the gmail account , but can't see anything obvious

Yes, Samsung email app is working but take's so much time to synchronise, i hope Google will found a fix soon because Gmail app seems to have this problem with Oreo because not only Samsung phones have that issue!
I use an app called Light Flow, it allows you to set notification colours for various apps, e.g. Blue for Facebook, Green for Whatsapp. I absolutely love it, can see what notification you have just by the flashing colour
Just got S9 two days ago .
Can the Lightflow App enable the LED to flash notifications while screen is ON ...
BUT Always On Display is off. ?
I was also wondering the Lightflow App says it needs control over notifications and messages calendars etc. Is it reliable enough to not miss an appointment ?
