[Q] Notification LED doesn't work - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This week I've flashed the Team Xperia / SE.Tweaked ROM v1.0, and since then my notification LED doesn't work anymore when I recieve a sms or whatsapp or e-mail message or what so ever..
The LED works when I'm charging the phone, so I guess it is not a hardware problem.
Does anyone know what might be wrong, or in what direction I have to search?
Thanks in advance...
PS. I've tried to find similair problems on this forum, but couldn't find anything of use.

Well I don't know why or how, but It's working again.. Haven't changed anything.

You must of coz we turned it off

[Q] Notification Light Test

Does anyone know of a way to test the notification lite. I have a feeling mine isnt working anymore. I had lightflow install that was running my notification lights. As of yesteray the light doesn't come on anymore with alerts come in.
Is there a way to test in the system or somethuing to see if its still wroking? thanks
BTW im Rooted and ROMed on AOKP27.
send your self an email, or having someone text you?:????
Email yourself, or use GV to SMS yourself, etc. etc.
Check in your settings, if "Puls Notification Light" is still checked
If it is, reboot your phone. If it still doesn't work, ry a different ROM...

Light flow, notifications, missed call (or any of the apps), all the way at bottom is test. Will probably need screen off to get notification light to blink.

Hi to evarybody!
i have an issue: i have a desire HD, and i want that the soft keys blink (or simply switched on) when i receve an sms or missed call on my phone and the screen is turned off.
My phone is routed and now i have ice cold sandwich rom vers. 8.4 aokp
the kernel is 2.6.35.14-LordmodUE 9.8.8 (that is included with this rom)
in this rom, in settings-->rom control --> led option --> there is "use BLN" , i have activated it with the flag, but when i try to test it with a missed call or sms, the sofkays remains off !!!
I know that there is also a BLN sotware in the market, i have dowloaded it, but is impossible to activate it because the kernel is not compatible!!!
What i have to do??
i come from gingerbread 2.3 where i used app "let me know" that have this function and works perfectly! with any rom of andorid 4.0 this app don't work...and also bln app....and also the settings included on the roms (i have tryed also miui...)
This function for me is very very important and much more appreciate....could some one help me?

Let me get this straight. You want the home, meu, back and search button to light up when you receive a notification? If the answer is yes, I'll flash ice cold and take a look. I don't understand why it doesn't work for you.

Get into the LED menu at RomControl, switch the function ON or OFF.
Exit.
Get back into the menu and switch it ON or OFF again.
Exit.
Worked for me, I had the same problem.

Hi!
i have try your suggest...and it works...but partially
i try to explain better: i switched on an off three times (with enter and exit on RomControl menu -> led notification) and finally i had swiched on the bln and then exit.
i try to send at my desire hd one sms....and the soft keys (home, menu, back, and search) was light on! (perfect!!)
then i delete the notification, i had lock my screen, the softkeys wos not lighted (perfect!!!).... and so i sent another sms... the softkeys light on! (perfect)
finally i have delete the sms notification, i locked my scree, i made a missed call....and when the my ringtones shut off, the screen became locked....the soft keys was NOT light on (NOT correct!) because if i look at my notification there is a missed call but the soft keys was not light on
i have also made another test...i have download from the market the bln free software, and when i open it, there is a message error: the bkn mod in son installed, and is not possible to activate it.....
thanks again to you and to all for all the answer!

jajaajaja..... with the amount of posts I have, this is the first time I use the laptop to post on xda. So that's how you guys get the bold, italics and all that. I used to type it in manually.... jajajajaja....
anyhow, Im charging my phone to flash ice cold, I had downloaded it when it was released to test it out, just hadn't had the time.
I did a search in the meantime. Read these and search a bit more to see if you find your answer. The first two are from other phones, the last one is for icecold.

Just lighten up the buttons works great with Ice Cold Sandwhich, but i want them to blink. Not just to light up, that means the 4 buttons (on, off, on, off) until i read the message!

Reception signal LED

Hello guys,
Can somebody help me with something. In the past I used an old Ericssson phone which gave me an indication of a connected network/operator signal through a blinking LED on top of the phone.
At the moment i'm using a HTC One X and it only lights up whenever you receive a text message/mail/etc..
Does anybody knows if there is an app which will tell me via the blinking LED on the front that I have a network/operator signal connection??
Thanks in advance!
:laugh:
You can try Lightflow but might need root..
Worked fantastic on my Nexus but gave me issues on the One X..seemed to work fine for a while and than got issues until i restarted the app and I ended up uninstalling...think i used the direct/alternative mode in the app.
Anyways you might have more luck or maybe its updated or something, havent tried it for a while..there's a free version and Im sure it can blink if there is NO reception, not sure if it can do what you're asking tho.

LED notification stopped working

Hey guys
My Note 2 has been working perfectly so far but today,I realized that the LED indicator didn't light up when I was charging it. It also didn't light up for missed calls/SMS/Email and basically everything.
I don't know what just happened but it doesn't seem to work :/
Any ideas ?

Try and go into setting=>display=>led indicator and see whether the notification light is on. It might also be a rom specific problem so, what rom are you using? Stock or custom?

Why did Samsung put no LED Settings like Light Flow or whatever in the system?? This Stock LED Settings are horrible!
Cyanogenmod has the best LED Settings!
Sorry for the late reply guys but I kinda solved his problem
"Viber" was causing it and by uninstalling it,the LED notification works perfectly.It's odd but it works lol
hi guys,
mine go on for no reason... zero notification (sms,mail,all programs off with a task killer) and LED still go on...
Any idee why?
(edit) resolved problems with Quick glance but it's ok now

I know this is an old thread, but I ran into this problem recently. Easy to fix, at least on the short term as I just did it. I am running cleanrom ace 4.7 (4.1.2) and today my charging/notification led stopped working. I decided to reboot to wipe the cache and dalvik cache, and when it was rebooting the led lit up blue, so I knew it wasn't likely to be a hardware issue. Well, that didn't fix it, but going to system settings -> display -> led indicator showed that the proper options were set. After toggling them off and back on, they started working again. I don't know what broke it, but hopefully this will stick. Hope this helps someone in a similar situation.
The notification led works olny if the screen from the phone close by him shelf and no manually with the power button
Test it guys
Old thread Old issue but still we're experiencing it. I just realized now that my LED is not working on any ROM, any Kernel, tried different LED apps but with no go. Is it possible that the hardware (LED) itself gone bad?
i try *#0*# test led and no led, try lot program and no led.....???

[Q] Led Notifications not working

Received the M8 a few days ago and the LED works OK as it lights up on charging...BUT that's it no missed call or Email SMS etc.
Looking around various forums it looks like there are some issues probably software related as people have exchanged phones and still had the issue.
My question to you on the International version is anyone having these issues and if so has anyone found a fix.
Thank you

I had the same issue; so I factory reset the phone. But this time around, I didn't restore any backup and started fresh. Seems to be working so far (and it's been 2 days).

Thank you I will try that when time is permitting...most frustrating though on a new phone and cannot see any apps that were restored from Google that may have been in conflict.
I'm going through the same problem...

Can confirm this method works but should'nt have had to factory reset. I'm now resetting up all my phone . .just hope it doesnt happen again.
Must be back from google bug somewhere that messes up the LED's from working ?? But dont really understand how it would . .
I had the same problem. I read on another forum that if you install another launcher the led stops working for notifications. When I first setup my phone restored apps and one of them happened to be a launcher. I did factory reset did not restore any apps and notifications led started working again. I'm not sure if another launcher had anything to do with it but the fix worked for me.
For me the notification LED works from day one, did not had a problem, i did restore my apps from backup but i never used any other launcher so i cannot confirm that is the problem. But i believe it must be app related as its working for some and not for others, usually hard reset without restoring app brings it back. Strange...
When I was migrating my note 2 to m8 must have copied a new launcher . I have factory reset and installed backups manually all is good now

This may or may not be related, but is there any way to keep the LED light flashing when you have a notification and not have it turn off after five minutes?

Everything I found says that there is no setting on the phone to change that. It may require a developer to patch it or give us some instructions on how to extend the time.
I'm also having the same problem with the LED notification. I really don't want to do a factory reset so i'm still hoping that there is a solution to this. The LED lights up during charging but does not light up at all for text message or email or other notifications. I'm using nova launcher so some are saying that it is because of these third party launchers that is the cause but i'm still wondering how can that really effect the LED. I hope somebody can really enlighten us on this.
I had this issue but only for missed calls. Other missed things would still notify. I did a factory reset and still have the same problem without doing any backups!!
I have the same Issue but I really don't want to reset the phone.
Still hoping for another fix....

I had the same problem on the day I picked it up. Read about the factory reset and as it was my first day with it decided to go for it.
That did indeed fix it and the led started working as it should..... Today however, they have stopped again. I haven't installed any other apps and a power cycle doesn't help.
Don't want to reset it again so am hoping they fix this soon.
Any news on this? Really missing led notification
Verstuurd vanaf mijn HTC One_M8 met Tapatalk
I installed Light Manager and i seem to be getting lights, however im getting random notifications with a vibrate and light when there is in fact no notification.
Mine seem to come and go, they worked after the factory reset for a bit I then noticed that they had stopped .
Now they are working again.... Seems very strange.

I dont get any green light notifications while my phone is charging, i would at least expect the screen to come on.
Notification LED only works if your screen is off. The LED for charging will illuminate no matter if screen is off or on
