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.

I just bought a HTC Desire Z two days ago, and was wondering about the notification light, as there are TWO in the desire Z
my question is, should the top notification light goes on when I recieve a notification, or only the bottom one will light up?
and if it's only the bottom one, how can I make the top one light up too? and in different colors, like in my friends HTC G1, he has blue, green, and red
thx for your time!
On my stock ROM (see my signature), the trackpad light blinks if you turn on that notification, but it's only every 10 seconds or so, and I actually never noticed it originally and thought it wasn't working at all. It doesn't blink the power LED.
However, I use the "Led Me Know" app from the market, and you can configure that to blink either the top LED or the trackpad LED, depending on how you set it up.
You can't make the trackpad LED blink different colours unfortunately, this was looked into a while back. The top one is limited to amber or green.

ok, thx alot for the fast reply
I used LED Me Know. Works fine for the LED, but it often overrides (e.g.) my Gmail notification sound with the standard notification sound I have for messages. Or it just plays both notification sounds. I hate that, and there's no option to activate or deactivate it messing with the sounds.
Does this happen to you too?

Sorry I don't use Gmail notification and I haven't tried playing with the sounds. I suggest contacting the developer about it, he responded quickly to me when I contacted him before.

You can disable the g-mail notifications and let the app do it's own thing...
One weird thing I have noticed with the app is that it delays the notifications... Like first it disables the notification for any texts... and it pretty much waits out the time that it would have taken for the notification (vibrations) and then follows through with the notification you selected in the app settings. So pretty much I see the LED blinking for like 5 seconds before I get any audible or vibrating notification.
EDIT: I also realize that this is very poorly worded and hard to follow, But I can't think of any other way to say it so bear with me!! XD
Hello, I have gone into settings and turned off all notification led notifications, but everytime I recieve a text, missed call or email, I still get the green coloured notification led, flashing away. Anyone please.?
you will probably have to turn off notifaction in each app.
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?

it is a known issue with the current version of lightflow...you need to uninstall it completely and the problem goes away...
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

I've been running LED Blinker Pro for about a year now. It allowed me to set the LED to different colors for texts, missed calls, upcoming appointments, and a host of other things (Signal messages, Facebook messages, low battery etc...) and a user selectable blink rate compared to stock.
Recently, possibly after updating to Pie, things with the LED have changed. Now, when I am charging the phone, the LED goes solid red. When the battery is full, the LED goes solid green. The LED blinks a slow blue when Bluetooth in on. Basically it's doing things I don't want it to do, and it overpowers my own app, rendering it mostly unusable. I uninstalled LED Blinker Pro to see if there was an issue with that app, but the new LED issues remain
I looked throughout the phone's settings, but I cannot find where these "new" LED notification settings are. I'd like to turn them off, and have everything controlled by the app I paid for. I did find a toggle under Settings>Apps & notifications>Notifications>Blink LED, but that turns the LED "off" so that there's no blinking at all, with both the "new" LED features and the paid app. But, I do not want the LED totally off, I just want to be able to control it like I have been able to do over the past year.
Is this new LED blinking function a function of PIE? Has anyone figured out how to change settings for it? Can it be disabled so that I can use my own app to control the LED?
