After disabling notifications for light flow, the status bar icon is gone, but the LED doesnt work normally now. Normally i set to LED shinning colour when plugged in but now after i disabled the notification, the LED doesnt light up anymore. Anybody else having similar problems?
Im guessing its due to the app not being updated for 4.3 yet.
App runs just fine here.

Make sure Accessibility is on in setting. I missed that myself.
That seemed to fix it.

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
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 ;-) )

yer its ticked, before and after installing light flow and still nothing
Is more settings for light flow im after, if people say it works for missed call ?
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...
guys, i didnt get the exact moment when it stopped working and can only speculate about what caused it, but my notification led isnt working any more. nothing triggers it. not whatsapp, not gmail...
is there any way to test it or tune it without relying on third party apps?
im on stock taimen with flash kernel, systemless xposed and gravity box.
thanks!
I dont think it ever has??? Isn't that why we have always on display and dont need notification light?
It definitely works. I use the app Light Flow - LED Control to customize my LED. Maybe try that app with charging light and see if it turns on when charging. Make sure you have blink light turned on in apps and notifications --> notifications --> Blink light.

I second this. Works fine for me.
Hi guys,
So this has been driving me nuts.
The notification blink light is turned on in Settings > Apps & Notifications > Notifications. However, I've never seen the LED actually turn on during normal usage. Not during charging, nor when charged, nor when I have any kind of notification active (emails, texts etc etc).
I suspected the actual LED component might be broken, so I downloaded Light Flow and ran some tests. Yes, the LED works and will display in any colour during Light Flow tests. However when I go back to just using the phone normally, nothing. The LED never turns on. I'm on 8.1. Completely stock. No root.
Any clue why this is happening? I'd appreciate any help or ideas whatsoever.
Thanks!
Ben.

My LED works too at least when I test it. However it does not work when enabled. Seems like google disabled it on purpose because of the on screen notifications.

Confirmed... that fixed it. Thanks.
OK, so after doing this, the notification light will blink when i receive an incoming email, text, or call?
