Hi all, I've just missed called my gn phone to check how the led notifications are working, I see no led notification at all, no led lights anywhere on the phone to let me know I have a missed call? Is there something I need to set up, thanks

Check your notification settings
There is also an option "pulse notification light" in Display settings.
i have the same problem.
i have ticked the option "pulse notification light" in Display settings but th eLED doesnt flash after receiving a miscall. i waited a few mins and still nothing.
i know the LED works because it flashes while the caller is calling, but just switches off after the caller hangs up.
is there another notification setting for this other than the one in Display Settings?
The notification LED has been implemented pretty badly natively. In addition to not appearing very consistently it also only flashes white. Look for the app Light Flow on the market and use that instead.

Thanks Chrono.
I just saw the Light Flow app recommended on the other LED notifications thread and tried it, and it works well!
But yes i agree its seems a pretty sloppy implementation by default, i hope it gets fixed in a software update, although i probably wont be moving away from light flow with all the extra control you get with it

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
Ive just noticed my notification LED isnt working, how do i make it work, i have got someone to text me with the screen off, still no led on silent, no led, on vibrate no led. what could be the issue
i had the same problem.
i knew the LED works because it lights up when i get an incoming call. but thats the only time it ever lights up. as soon as the call is missed it goes out, no pulsing light.
i downloaded an app called Light Flow (the free version) and works, as well as giving you much much control on the colour of the light and the different notifications it can be used on
Still cant get missed call led to flash even with light flow
any tips on setup ?
Pulse Notification Option in Settings, Display?? (Android settings that is ;-) )

Well... my solution was to uninstall it.
Basically I found that while Light Flow was pretty neat, I was getting quite a few random notifications (i.e. LED flashing but no notifications in the bar) that would only stop after rebooting.
Eventually I got fed up with it and removed the app. Shame.

Hey, I would try clearing the apps data or a reinstall to see if that fixes it. I am using it the past two months and never had an issue. Good luck.
Check your lightflow notification settings and see which notification is set to flash white. If it's SMS or email, make sure that you don't just clear the notifications by just swiping it off the drop down menu but actually go into the apps and mark them as read. Otherwise lightflow will still detect them as unread and notify you.
If none of the notifications are set to flash white then you might have not set lightflow up properly. Go to your accessibility settings and make sure that lightflow is enabled. If that doesn't fix it uninstall and reinstall the app.

Never had any issues with Light Flow, but don't use sleep mode as an LED blinking when on charge isn't going to wake me up (AudioGuru mutes sound on sleep profile, mind)
Ultimately if you're having issues get in touch with the developer as only they can fix the issue
Disable the notifications for anything that is set to use the White color. It should solve the problem. You most likely have the notification set to only clear when you enter the application. I personally prefer to clear it when my screen turns on because if my screen has turned on, then I have already "checked" the notification and don't need that light continuously flashing.
Phantom notifications has long been an android problem. Its not light flow specific

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.
Hi my notification led diod doesnt work proppertly. When someone call me led is On But i want to led blinking when i have missed call or SMS or calendar When screen is off. I have enabled led blinking in settings
I try led tester diod is working but not notifications off missed calls
Ok i install light flow now its working. Why its not working without app??
Don't know why your phone is behaving this way but i will truly recommend LightFlow from Play store. Since i started using it i have never looked back. There is so many ways to customise it.
