Is my led working?

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

LED continues to flash on sleep mode, Light Flow installed?

I have light flow, and when my screen shuts off, the LED light keeps blinking (white.) Any idea how to make this stop?

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

LED doesnt work

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.

LED Notification. What app is causing it to blink?

Does anyone know if there is a way to check what app is causing the LED notification to blink? I've literally checked every single app and it's still blinking.

Go into settings/display/notification flash.

That just shows the apps that can cause it to blink though. I was literally opening and closing every single app just to get the LED to stop blinking, because I had already checked the usual suspects such as Whatsapp, SMS, etc.

Light flow makes led after sms stay on

Even after clearing the text message, light flow keeps the led on after I turn the screen off. I've seen this on other types of notifications as well. Anyone else have this issue? I'm using the latest light flow.

Have the same problem. Uninstalled until they get the accessibility settings fixed. Waiting on samsung...
