For a while my phone hasn't been vibrating when I receive text and it only vibrates for phone calls. I checked my settings and messaging settings but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?
You have the notification setting in the messaging app set to always vibrate, right?
Yes I have that checked too
Have you tried disabling it, rebooting your phone then re-enabling it? I know it sounds weird but that has worked for me before when setting get "stuck".
rebooting as in turning the phone off and then back on?
Yes, that's just about the only meaning for reboot I am aware of
it still doesn't work. I guess I'm going to start using chompsms
This happened to me too, i think its an ec05 thing cause it never happened on eb13. Idc though, cause i use handcent. My problem is there is no longer a setting for the led blinker, and it does nothing for me now.

I've tried every led color, on every sms replacement, they never work. But, on eclair, it worked on stock sms. Now, it never lights up unless its charging.

Download Sound Manager from Market and see if a hidden setting in there is messing you up.
On bonsai and I keep on getting the same text, email, calendar no-vibrate issues after a couple weeks. So time consuming to fix everytime by restoring with my backup.
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
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

This happened to me before on Nougat and the problem was fixed by just disabling battery optimization in the settings, but now on Pie, battery optimization is disabled for Textra and its still doing it. Ill get a notification and it will stay on the screen for about a second and disappear, whether the screen is on or off. Its also intermittent, earlier this morning, it was working fine, now its back to doing it again, restarts don't make any difference either, and I've tried disabling the stock messages app, restarting, and still no dice. Also this is a clean flash, everything except internal storage was wiped prior to updating. Is anyone else having this issue?
I too use Textra and today have been using my Pixel XL with Pie and when receiving texts while looking at another app, the notification icon sidings didn't show, tho the phone vibrated for the incoming text.
I've not experienced this, before, with any phone or Android version / ROM.
I have the L29 version and right out of the box notifications seems to work great on almost all 3rd party apps. That's is certainly not normal for Chinese phones and is very much welcomed.
I do have one app however that I can never get to push notifications "HQ Trivia"
I made sure all notifications were turned on, and I also went into the battery settings and set it to manual and turned everything on in there.
Is there some other place or permissions I need to set to get notifications to work again? (Also tried clearing data, uninstalling app)
This seems to be the only app I have issues with for notifications, just trying to learn the UI so i know where everything is hidden as on my Xiaomi phones there were about 3 different areas you needed to adjust setting in for notifications to work.
