Hey folks,
did anybody manage to get the LED light working with Whatsapp and so on? Everytime I get a message it just does nothing. With system apps it's different. As soon as a SMS comes in the LED lights up.
Thanks for the help.
LED notification -> Other Unread Notifications - > Enable
choose Color for it and you are done..
Will try and report back. Many thanks!
It works but it does not apply whatsapp individual led settings. You are however forced to stick to the setring you made in the system and not the app.

I remember before that when there is a next text message, one of the LED's blinked orange. Was that my imagination or can we turn that feature on?
I would like to look quickly at the phone and know if there is a new message without having to turn on the phone.
TIA
Yes
Settings -> (personal tab) Sounds and Notifications -> select in the list New Text -> check blink ... ...
thank you!
Hello everyone,
I recently got a nexus and love it. Just one thing that I can't quite figure out is the notification light. Is it supposed to come on, when you have a text, email and notification from an app? I have it activated in settings but it doesn't seem to be coming on when I have a notification. Any ideas or special settings I should be aware of?
BIG THANKS IN ADVANCE!
When I'm charging my device, or if I receive a message my led lights up. I have light flow installed though. Didn't set up anything in my rom control settings.
Also when you receive a message do you check it right away or let it sit? If I check my message right away it doesn't come up if my phone is idle it flashes as a reminder.

Thanks, I can try that program. But isn't it supposed to show the notifications on its own? It did light up ONE time when I got an email. I'm on stock 4.0.2.
* Lightflow seemed to correct the problem. THANKS!
the built in notification is a fail. all the apps have their own settings which is why some pulse and some dont. Just download light flow..more control as to colour and pulse time and speed and such.
I dont use any app and my light works fine. Text blinks blue using handcent, google voice blinks green, gmail blinks white.
I believe the led can be configured by any app if the dev codes it in, but google did not give us control of it, instead letting devs handle it. Cyanogen surely will have built in controls.
I've been using lightflow since I got my galaxy nexus. I like the ability to use different colors for different app notifications. Well I installed go SMS because I like the different skins and ways you can customize it. I guess lightflow doesn't support this app, but go sms has in app notification LED settings. However they don't seem to work, they've worked on phones I've owned in the past. I'm guessing lightflow is blocking it. Does anyone know any way around this? Is there a similar texting app that has customization that works with lightflow?
Did you try checking the boxes within light flow, notifications , sms for alternate on/off monitoring?
Do u have enable led in go SMS settings?

This was confusing because light flow says to disable notifications in go sms if you want notifications to work. But when I did that I got no notifications at all. I tried all combinations of alternate on/off and no luck.
After trying all combinations of settings, this is how I eventually got it to work:
In Go SMS I have notifications set to on and have the LED set to green.
In light flow I have the sms notifications set to on, alternate on checked, and alternate off checked, and the LED set to green.
I restarted the phone several times before this worked.
Hopefully this will help anyone else who has this problem in the future :good:
Hi guys,
So I'm on a stock N7 all OTA updates including the new one and my notifications don't work.
No LED light, no sound, nothing in the notification bar.
When I get on facebook I see that I have like 3 messages in red, even gmail notifications don't show up.
My notifications were ok before - most of the time, only brief periods of inactivity but now it looks like they're gone for good.
So please guys do you know how to activate them again?
Thanks

Do you have Sync on? Settings -> Accounts -> Sync
Thats for HTC btw, and yes I have sync always on
So WhatsApp lets you set an LED color for a Private message and a different color for group message, I can't seem to get the private one to work as the color i set. It shows white regardless of what color i specify.
Anyone facing this issue too?
yes! im using s9+ and is facing hte same issue. have u resolve it?

Having same issue with s9 plus, seems a software issue as I can't find the led colour settings in the settings menu or developer options, always purple for WhatsApp and selected green in every section of WhatsApp settings
It works fine for me now. I disabled and then I enabled the led again and now the color are as should they do

No joy
Still no joy with that but thank anyway fella
I was having this issue also - no notifications, no LED, no badges on WhatsApp on my very new S9.
When I first brought the phone it was fine, and then it stopped working strangely... turns out when I went into Settings > Apps > WhatsApp - that the notifications had been changed to blocked - very weird!
Anyway, I switched that off blocked and now all works OK
Also had this issue. How to fixed:
- clean WhatsApp cache from settings-apps-whatsapp-memory
- disable and enable again led indicator in phone settings
- select led color to none in WhatsApp settings, exit to chats list, open settings again and select green color.
Done.

I did follow your idea but tried a different order
1 - Disabled LED
2 - Set LED in WhatsApp to none
3 - Re enabled LED
4 - Set LED in WhatsApp to required color
Above steps worked for me.
