Anyone notice that a hangouts message doesn't trigger the notification light at the bottom of the phone? Tried a normal message and SMS and neither made the light blink. Anyone else notice this or know what setting I have to change to enable it?

Figured it out, it started working after I enabled the hangouts option in gmail instead of the classic chat.

I can't seem to get them to work the same way it's been working for me on my GS4. I am trying to get custom sounds/led for contacts in SMS (something hangouts doesn't offer).
First off ringtone and notification volume level are tied so that's a problem. I worked around that.
Second, I can't get the notification LED to work consistently in go sms or light flow. Even the LED test in light flow only works for one color and not all the time.
Any help on settings that I may have missed or app I can install to fix this? I finally got vibration to work for SMS when Ringer volume is not set to vibrate (through light flow). Rant: Lame that's it's not a system option.
Thanks.

Wha? Open hangouts. Click the 3 dots on the top right. Select 'settings'. Select 'SMS'. Notification sound is right there...?
Some people have reported that lightflow isn't working properly already, maybe try another app? I use LEDBlinker lite (free) and it seems to work properly (just wish I could change led blink rate/duration).
Sorry if I wan't clear, but settings on a per contact basis. I looked at the Hangouts option and it appears to be global.
Edit: LEDBlinker is at least able to test all the LED colors so I know they are there and working.

Anybody tried LightFlow or any other apps to control the notification LED?

They work if that's what you're asking. Light Flow and Light Manager are the two I tested. Definitely prefer LF of the two.
Light manager seems to work for sms but not email. Always on also does not show email notifications. Arg!

No. The email does not show at all for me. Only sms and missed calls.

LightFlow is not working for me. Did you enable the LED in the display settings and did you enable or disable the workaround for Samsung?
I have been emailing the dev for light manager. in order to get it to work, you need to turn on the 5.1 workaround in the apps settings and you have to let it wake the screen for notifications. then the led colors work correctly. one thing that does break is you can not longer expand the gmail notifications in the notification pull down shade. he said he doesn't have an S7 yet to test on but is getting one.
LED Blinker Work correctly
I didn't install light manager yet. I'm just using signal for SMS and changing color of LED in its settings. inbox is blue and I guess missed calls would be the same blue default. Works for now. Also charging is red by default and green I think when charged...
LED Blinker Work

Yes LED Blinker works. I have tested under S7. And many customers told me, too.
Just enable workaround 5.1.1 in app settings (its needed for Android 6, too sadly).

Same here. (With Light Manager) So it seems to be a hardware/model related issue.

Needed screen on for me too (for Gmail at least, some apps worked okay - Handcent/Whatsapp). Which I didn't really want to use but it's better than nothing at this stage.
Ah, sorry, it's Light Manager I used - I was trying a few and got confused!
Ok then what now? Do we return it to samsung and ask for a good one or just live with it??

LED Blinker works, but has the same problem that all of the other LED notification programs have....The Gmail notification icon in the status bar will not auto clear after reading email. It must be cleared manually. Light Manager does the same thing, and according to the developer, it is an issue with Android 6.0

you have to disable the light/led in all apps you use, gmail doesnt have such option, use google inbox instead.

Thanks, but I use Google Apps, with multiple email accounts, so Google Inbox really doesn't work well for my use.
I dont know how to exactly explain the issue...
When you receive a text message your led light is supposed to blink green
This works most of the time
For some reason if I am texting someone and I leave the text message open and my screen goes to the black/screen saver screen, My led wont blink if that same person messages me... it will blink if another friend texts me.
Its kind of annoying.
Anyone else have this issue? I have had it since I got the phone.
It's because you're active in that action. You won't get all notifications. Just close it. I've noticed this myself, have not found a workaround per notification.
Just upgraded to S8+ and notice WhatsApp doesn't trigger notification light. All the settings have been setup in the app and in settings. My sms/email app's make the light blink. Is there any other setting that needs to be modified for WhatsApp? I know i can enable AOD but see'ing the light is much more convenient. TIA.

I am using Google Phone and Contacts app (Samsung apps are terrible to use, although they look better).
When receiving a phone call, on top of the full screen page I see a notification popup: how can I disable it?
If I go into app's notification settings, all is enabled but greyed out, so cannot change.
Thx
Anyone here?

click on right arrow and disable notification
As said, not possible, all greyed out and default to on
You could try with Auto Notification and Tasker
Do you have Google dialer installed? Can you show me how your notification settings look like (enabled or greyed out)?
They are greyed out on Samsung dialer too
I know why... Google is forcing some properties to fixed so that users cannot change notifications. Problem is that they should fix this behaviour which I believe is a bug.
Strange cos my Xiaomi phone does not have this problem: same app version, same settings greyed out.

Can you pls try to also set phone app as default for calls and ask some one to call you, to see if you get the notification? Keep screen off when waiting the incoming call, and try several times.
Thanks

I'm getting the notification. Always did
Strange... It shouldn't be there
Maybe it's because of "floating notifications" in settings. Check it.
By the way I get a similar notification while in another call/Viber call/Skype call even with Samsung dialer.
Google dialer is fugly.
NO, floating notification is to enable the floating popup when minimizing the dialer.
It seems as if when receiving the call with screen off, Google dialer detects the screen is already on, this displaying the full screen + the popup. As a matter of fact sometimes the popup does not show, but when it does (most of the times) it's annoying as hides that caller's nam

I have also had this issue for a while now, and could never figure out how to fix it either. I finally decided to try turning off the "Appear on top" permission setting in the app info section of the phone app. That seems to have done the trick, as now I only get the top pop up when I get an incoming call, then when I answer it goes to the full screen portion like normal. Maybe give that a try and see if it works for you.
