Hello guys, found a bug which is starting to annoy!
I'm using Modaco's Kitchen Rom R5, Jul/20 Version and I love it to be fair, finally having a phone customised to be my own is fantastic, unlocked and using the newest Radio also, good times.
But I have one problem.. When I receive messages through Handcent, the Blue LED Notification comes on (as it should) but doesn't disappear when the notification has gone! Is there a way around this bug?
Cheers,
Dan
The bug is with Handcent's latest version. Just change the LED to another colour than Blue from within notification settings in Handset
considering the fact it doesn't show on my DeVillain rom either, i also tend to incline towards a handcent issue.
Hope they release a fix soon tbh
Yeah, I hope they do, it's a fantastic app. I would like for them to release a paid version, and I would pay for it to get rid of adds in the settings menu. I know that shouldn't bother me but it does!
I only get it if I receive a notification pop-up but ignore it by doing something else, then bringing it back up to read it and hitting x doesn't make the blue LED stop until I open up the app itself.
I don't get such a 'bug' in normal cases. Just received two SMS, read through the pop-up notification and then hit x and the blue LED stopped. Works fine like this. Phone is running all stock.

I also have this problem with the led on my desire. all stock . Don't know but sometimes it turns off when i restart the phone but after the first message i recieve the led is always on again.. begins to be annoying cause i depend on the notifications when i work and can't have my phone on me, only see the phone behind the cash register.. It's annoying when i'm waiting for someone important to call or message me. always looking on the phone
Handcent fix now available - version 3.22
Being an ex-Galaxy S1 and Galaxy S2 owner I was happy to finally have a notification LED on my phone. However I have found that the behaviour of the LED just isn't reliable.
When I got it a week ago it worked, then it stopped working for no reason, then it worked again, then stopped, now it works sometimes but most it just doesn't. I find the behaviour to be quite erratic and difficult to diagnose.
I tried using both the stock LED code and LightFlow (exclusively and at the same time) but both exhibit the same erratic sometimes-works-sometimes-doesn't behaviour. Totally unreliable.
This has happened with my original 4.1.1 ROM (stock, unrooted), then 4.1.1 rooted, then 4.1.2 stock unrooted and now I'm on stock 4.1.2 rooted. No different. Sometimes it works, most times it doesn't.
Is your Note II notification LED reliable? Searching got me some threads on LED trouble (both for SGS3 and Note2), but no conclusive reasons/solutions.
PS: I checked the LED with the factory test code and it works perfectly there - it does not appear to be a hardware issue at all.
It works for me all time. Very reliable I'd say. And I'm a person who hates any sort of non working things. Like Smart Alert, which has literally stopped working for me. And like you, it works each time perfectly on test mode.
PS: I switched to LED Light Manager last week, but that doesn't mean the stock LED didn't work.

My native LED works fine but it's pretty limited. Better than nothing. I like Lightflow the best but it interferes with/invokes the Note II Accessibility functions so I removed it until they are worked out. Light Manager seems to work but the only thing I don't like about it, that Lightflow has, is the ability to flash network status when you have good signal (i.e. green flashing LED when you have signal; Lightflow does but LM does not have this function).
Ideally I just want an LED manager to mimic Blackberry, flashing green in standby mode, and flashing red when "something comes in". I have no need for 18,000,000 color combos.
Cheers
I haven't had any issues with my LED notification light. It has always worked for me. I don't use any apps though. The most I do is go into an app and select the color I want the LED to flash. But that's already built into the app. But they stay on while my screen is off. If it's flashing, and I turn on my screen, then I believe they disappear. But to be honest, if it flashes and I turn on my phone, I usually check the messages, reply to them, or clear them / swipe them away.
So despite all the problem threads I found, 3 users with no issues at all, interesting.
I can understand that as for the first days the LED behaviour was accurate, but since then it has been quite randomish and I have been unable to find a pattern. Somtimes I have a missing call and have the LED blinking, sometimes I have a missing call and nothing happens. There is no easy difference between the two situations.
I will try LED Light Manager, never used it and one more shot won't hurt. Meanwhile I was starting to think that the LED unreliability was the reason why 99.9% of all Galaxy Note II covers designers don't bother to add a LED cutout. :laugh:
Mine has been reliable so far.
The notification LED on my Note II has been very reliable, unlike on a past HTC phone where the light would either not blink or would not stop blinking.
All of my led are working fine
n7100
omega rom v10 perseus kernel 31
hit thanks its free anyway
It's working properly on my N7100 also.
No problems at all.
Now for the solution:-
1.You can try reflashing a rom (stock or custom)
2. Install ths.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager&feature=search_result
This should override the stock LED functions and may improve it's performance.
No issues what so ever with the LED, I've never used custom roms/kernels on my phone though.
I'm even more puzzled than before now, as I cannot find a reason for the erratic behaviour on my phone.
Did you read my post and try my method?

Yes, I already had Light Manager. I also have LightFlow, but first started using teh samsung notifications only.
I find the same pattern in them all... sometimes teh notifications trigger/clean properly, some times they don't. Usually they don't.
I tried several combinations, Samsung LED app only, Lightflow off, Light Manager off, etc. And the same remains. The behaviour is erratic. Seen other users complaining about this in other foruns, but since it seems tricky to reproduce, no solution is clear.
I'l on 4.1.2 stock (bot rooted now) and besides de rooting my phone has almost no customization at all. Going for a full wipe/reset seems overkill, as it appeared to have done nother with other users.
Still trying to find out if this is a documented bug or just something specific to certain OS/apps.
I've noticed with Facebook messenger that if I get a message right as the screen goes dark and messenger was the last program on the screen, the LED will not light up. The phone must think I already checked it in that case. Other then that, it works as it should.
Mine works aswell
Mine never fails to notify me of events, but sometimes it lights dimly with no reason.
I'am still wondering why ...

The LED's glow bright if the ambient lighting is powerful, like in Sunlight or in a well lit room, and it'll be on the darker (dimmer) side when the ambient lighting is dark, like in a dark or low lit room.

After about 3 weeks with the Note 2 I am still puzzled by the LED. I have days when it works perfectly (like you guys are reporting) but others when it just stops triggering and so far I found no pattern. Some code related to it must be really flaky. But when it works, it usually works fine...
All your LED are belong to us
So probably like most users I had the Note7 coming to this phone I have noticed a few things missing that I really need. One of those was notifications the lack of an LED indicator has kinda bothered me. So I went looking for the Samsung always on screen with the clock... I figured without the LED light it would have that so I found in the app store Always on AMOLED. This app help fix my issue of never knowing if I had missed a e mail or text or phone call.
2nd was the lack of the phone vibrating hard enough to feel in my pocket.. I went looking in the settings for the vibrate pattern normally found in 6.0 couldn't find it so i searched around and found an app Light flow I have used this app before to change the color of my LED notification so I can tell if it was an e mail text or phone call I installed the app to help with the first mentioned issue also when I realized it didn;t have an LED notification it surprised me .
I am still trying to figure out other features I am missing has anyone else found things that they are missing with this phone. The calander is another lacking issue for me I like the month view with cut of writing on the days I had something if anyone knows a alternative would greatly be appreciated.
I miss the wireless charging feature I knew it didn;t have it when I ordered it but I still miss it.

The pixel has a LED notification light that can be turned on in the settings by going to notifications, clicking the gear at top right and switching pulse notification light on.
We had multiple notes in the house and got free wireless chargers with them, and they all are in a box. It's slow, it's awkward, and it's just not as good as a regular old plug it in charge....

Samsung fast wireless charging is awesome and every phone should have it. Just like every phone should be water resistant.
I love the way this phone moves. Which is something even the note 7 didn't have consistently. It's the first phone I can say has made my use more fluid and purposeful.

Greetings to fellow Pixelers!
It seems that the LED Notification/Blinker does not work on Pixel 2 phones properly
and from what I can gather, Google knows about this problem.
I have personally tried every solution out there to no avail.
So this is a simple POLL to see how wide spread this problem is?
Thank you for your participation and any possible solution/fix!
You could ask here where the discussion is ongoing. Yes I understand you want to know if the actual light is working, but other than toggling it on in settings have you tried Light Flow or other apps?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/xl-2-notification-led-t3683788
Mine works fine, but notification light wasn't always turned on by default for a lot of apps. Instead of faffing around with notification settings, I just use Lightflow.
Mine works and using the settings in my mail (Aquamail) and Text (Textra) clients , I have different colored lights for each mail account (x3) and a totally different color for texts. That covers most of my needs, so I haven't even looked into LightFlow .. but I might.
Mine was turned off by default -- I've turned it on, and had to go through apps to select which ones I wanted to trigger the LED. Seems to work fine. But frankly, with notifications appearing on the lock screen, it's far less necessary than it might have been with an earlier phone. I also tried installing Lightflow (I've had a premium license for years -- since my Galaxy Nexus I believe). Lots of options, but within an hour, the OS was warning me of heavy battery usage from Lightflow. I honestly didn't see a whole lot of value in it beyond the default functionality, so I uninstalled it for now...
LED blinker app works fine,I'm using it on my Panda

So I haven't seen this brought up anywhere and I really find no rhyme or reason to it and figured I would post here and see what responses I get.
Been with my Note10+ almost 2 weeks now and overall i like it, but the lack of LED notification is one of the major downfalls to it; for me anyway. (Yes I know you can add them with apps etc.)
Now let's get to my question part. When my phone is plugged in and charging it give you the default readout with the time to full and percentage on the bottom as well as the 4 red LEDs in animation across the top camera. Every so often I will get a large circular LED flash just to the right of the camera. Sometimes it has flashed blue, and other times its flashed red. Sometimes it will flash and I will have various things in my notification bar such as an app update, and sometimes it will flash just cause it feels like it.
So has anyone else seen this or have any kind of definitive answer as to what that LED flash denotes?
And surely with there being and LED set under there, theres got to be a way to take control of that for notifications I'd think? Look forward to hearing your responses.
Sounds to me like you're using some other notification app. I've tried one which added the charging lights across the top, I don't remember which it was.. Arc lighting maybe . These are not standard. I'd imagine the flashing you're experiencing is related to whatever app you're using which is adding the charging lights.
Also there is no LED under the screen... the screen is actually made up of millions of Tiny LED's.

You have a 3rd party app installed causing that.
