Thanks to those who earlier gave feedback on installing Froyo. I have since been workign on getting the battery to last longer and such. However three questions that much searching has failed to answer.
1. With the speaker breaking issue, my phone was made October 2010 and the speaker broke in around April. The service center fixed it no prob. Funny thing though was that I often used earphones, but only ones with 4 contact rings on the plug. The day it broke I had used my MP3 earphones with three rings and immediately after the speaker would not work. I had assumed that it was the use of the three ring earphones that broke the speaker. Not so sure now. So, is it possible to use any headphones (even ones without a mic) on a cell phone or do normal earphones break things when put into a phone?
2. What the bleeping heck do the different front LED light colours all signify??? Also, why do I get a dark red glow when reading at night from the LED (no, it is not reflected light)? Lots of bits and pieces but a nice list would be gold.
3. Where (and why) did the 3G widget go? It was there in Eclair but not in Froyo.
Thanks,
TME
And, perhaps one interesting bug that I would like to hear if others have experienced.
On three occasions my phone as reset / rebooted for no reason. I am tracking that down, so no worries, however my SIM chip is locked yet when it reboots I do not need to re-enter the SIM PIN. When I do a normal reboot I do have to enter it. Is this a bug??? Seems so as my original ROM was not like that and it does seem to be a bit of a security lapse. Thoughts???
It's normally called soft reboot that bypass the simlock. And this also applied if phone freeze and reboot itself. A hard reboot would definitely need the sim password. Another term used is soft reset and hard reset...

i know a few, but not 100% sure on some, like:
1. flashing green - incoming message.
2. flashing blue - incoming/missed call
3. steady white - battery charging
4. steady green - battery full or near fully charged (>90%)
5. red (not sure steady or flashing) - battery low
answer 2nd
I have same prob but that light red led is come from sensor part not from front notification LED .
I don't know why its on but it is coming from sensor part not from LED part.

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
So probably like most users I had the Note7 coming to this phone I have noticed a few things missing that I really need. One of those was notifications the lack of an LED indicator has kinda bothered me. So I went looking for the Samsung always on screen with the clock... I figured without the LED light it would have that so I found in the app store Always on AMOLED. This app help fix my issue of never knowing if I had missed a e mail or text or phone call.
2nd was the lack of the phone vibrating hard enough to feel in my pocket.. I went looking in the settings for the vibrate pattern normally found in 6.0 couldn't find it so i searched around and found an app Light flow I have used this app before to change the color of my LED notification so I can tell if it was an e mail text or phone call I installed the app to help with the first mentioned issue also when I realized it didn;t have an LED notification it surprised me .
I am still trying to figure out other features I am missing has anyone else found things that they are missing with this phone. The calander is another lacking issue for me I like the month view with cut of writing on the days I had something if anyone knows a alternative would greatly be appreciated.
I miss the wireless charging feature I knew it didn;t have it when I ordered it but I still miss it.

The pixel has a LED notification light that can be turned on in the settings by going to notifications, clicking the gear at top right and switching pulse notification light on.
We had multiple notes in the house and got free wireless chargers with them, and they all are in a box. It's slow, it's awkward, and it's just not as good as a regular old plug it in charge....

Samsung fast wireless charging is awesome and every phone should have it. Just like every phone should be water resistant.
I love the way this phone moves. Which is something even the note 7 didn't have consistently. It's the first phone I can say has made my use more fluid and purposeful.

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

So my phone has been working great for over a year now or so but all the sudden just recently it has been looking kind of weird. It has lines wherever the words are like if you're reading Facebook or typing something out it'll have five lines. 3 through the words and one line on top and below. It looks like halogen lights are behind it. Like you can tell some are darker and some are lighter. Also when you unlock or lock the screen, there is a temporary flash of green. Sometimes the green is small and sometimes it's a big flash of green on the whole screen. Example of what is happening in the linked youtube video.

Just do a backup and try a factory reset for now
