I'm running LineageOS 18.1 (nightly 4/20/2022 no GAPPs) on a Pixel 3(blueline) with AT&T I noticed that whenever I get an SMS message, the LED notification light doesn't flash
or indicate a new SMS.
I do see notification on the lock screen but the screen has to be on. I hunted around for an option but haven't found one yet.
Any comments, suggestions advice would be very welcome.
TIA
Turns out the Pixel 3 does not have LED functionality like all the other phones I've owned. Surprise! Marking this as a non-issue.

I'm just wondering if notification lights are supposed to turn off after I wake up my phone. I'm currently using Cyanogenmod 10 Nov 4th build.
For example, when I get a text message, my notification light turns on and starts blinking purple (that's my setting I put)
When I turn on my phone, the light disappears. But if don't check my notification and lock my phone again, the notification light doesn't appear.
I was just wondering if this is supposed to happen as if I remember correctly from the stock Samsung Touchwiz ROM, the notification light would stay on until I check the notification and clear it from the tray.
If it's supposed to be like that, is there a way to change it so be more like Samsung's way of dealing with notifications.
Thank you so much in advance!
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!)

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.

Hello,
1/ The blue notification light is not working on my S9, red is working when charging, green is also working when the charge is full but the blue light is only working when i reboot not on notifications, I have of course all notifications enabled.
2/ i always have to type several times (2 to 4 times) on the configuration icon to gain access to the configuration menu.
Does anyone has the same issues?
Yes my new S9 notification light never flashes when there has been a message notification.
The LED indicator in display settings is turned ON.
Is there another setting to adjust or is it a software bug?

Yes, it's probably a software bug, as i tried everything i read over the web and nobody seems to have the solution to solve that problem.
Yesterday i thought it would be fine because i received a software update from Samsung but it's even worse because it take now from 1 to +4 hours for my emails to reach my phone (gmail) and still no led indicator.
I hope the next upgrade will take care of this sutiation.
are either of you having network issues 4-5 a day i have to restart my phone to connect to the network.
Hi,
I have a new bought Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite and my notification LED light sometimes does not blink when there are notifications (e.g. WhatsApp messages).
That happens independent of how long the phone has been put away and independent of internet connection etc., the LED light only turns on in around 80% of all cases.
In the other 20% of cases, the light is not flashing, and when I unlock the phone I have a normal notification icon on the top of the screen.
I already checed all settings for notifications, everything seems to be fine.
maybe someone can help me?

Hi, for me deactivating Ambient display did the trick (Settings --> Display --> Advanced --> Ambient display (set it to Off).
Hope that helps.

hi
thanks for the tip, but it still sometimes doesnt light up.
Also, I noticed that sometimes it happens that the light goes on (as it should) when I receive a message, but after some time (15min+) the notification light disappears...
Could be a hardware issue as it works just fine for me.
so I will order another Xiamo Mi A2 Lite and look if the problem also occurs there.. :/
I had encountered this as well at times I thought it was just software issue.
It seems like ever since Oreo (currently running Pie) my notifications have been really screwed up and I'm at a loss as to how to fix it. I need help lol.
1) With screen off, a lot of times I won't get any notifications until I wave my hand over the proximity sensor.
2) Sometimes my LED doesn't turn on. Like, I'll grab my phone and there'll be a notification on the lock screen, but the LED doesn't alert me to it. Other apps don't flash the LED at all even though it's turned on in settings.
3) I never get voicemail notifications. At all. And I can see missed phone calls if I open the phone app, but there's otherwise no indication of missed calls. Wtf!
I've tinkered with all of the notification settings to no avail. I also noticed the number of options that can affect notifications seems a complicated mess. I'm a bit disappointed at what the Android notifications have become.
Can anyone offer any help with this?
