Lock screen's light remains off upon new notification - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I recently switched from iphone to note2. The thing I needed to confirm was that when I receive new notification on chaton while my screen is locked then the light doesn't turn on and I only hear notification tone also there is no message preview thou from setting is enabled. Things work normal with viber on both cases.
Any help would be appreciated

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

No longer vibrating for notifications!?

Have a weird problem as of today.. my phone no longer vibrates when I get notifications unless I'm in silent mode. I've checked all the settings and it is set to vibrate always (NOT set to vibrate only in silent).
I do have Light Flow installed which changes LED colours etc, I've tried uninstalling it and using the standard SMS notifications, disabled standard and reinstalled light flow and set that up etc but nothing helps, still no vibrate for any notifications unless I'm in silent mode :s
By the way, it still vibrates when I'm typing and pressing the home button etc, I DON'T have the volume changing issue either.

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.

Lock screen coming on with notifications

How do I make the lock screen not turn on when I get a notification?

I have the same issue with text messages. I don't my screen coming on with every message. I will look for a solution.
I gave up and installed my third party messaging app and disabled the notifications of stock app. Screen no longer turns on. I know it isn't the best solution but it works.
I put a pattern lock on my phone. The screen still comes on when I get a text but it times out and shuts off in about 5 seconds. Pattern lock just ensures that I don't pocket dial by accident while the screen is on.

I have downloaded light flow lite. It has a toggle to have the screen light up or not. Fixes the issue plus you can set custom colors for the notifications.
Light Flow Lite
If anyone is interested, I was able to de-odex the SMS program, make the necessary changes, and re-odex it, and my screen no longer turns on for new text messages. I tried lightflow and it did not work for me. I don't know if a zip of the apk and odex are sufficient, I am new to modifying apks.

Notification Light questions

I just got my Pixel XL yesterday coming from the Note 7 / S7 Edge (temp device) and noticed the notification light acts differently from what I am used to seeing on Samsung devices. I have it enabled, under the 'Configure Notifications' setting menu (Pulse notification light). I then sent myself a test text message, and it pulsed, as expected. However, I have not seen the notification light come on for any other notifications, such as emails, or missed calls, etc.
I was playing around with the email notification settings in the Gmail app, and changed it from Silent to a notification sound, and the light then worked on a new email. I also noticed the ambient display is tied to this setting.
If I change the notification sound to Silent, I no longer get the notification light or the Ambient display notification.
I'm used to having the notification light to indicate any notification, regardless if I have it set to no sound.
Is there any way around this? I don't want my phone beeping every time I get a new e-mail, but I would like to know if I have one without having to power on the screen, since we do not have a nice ambient display like the Note 7 or S7E (at least not yet!)
As always: Light Flow

Thanks for the suggestion of Light Flow. It does seem to work, but I am forced to buy it to unlock notifications from apps other than the standard Google apps (I know, it's not much), but I would have thought something like this would have been baked into Android by now.
Did they change the licensing key? I purchased last year and now it doesn't show I did.

Or Settings/Notifications/Settings and turn on Pulse Notifications
