Anyone else noticing any LED notification inconsistencies? It seems the LED has a mind of its own. Sometimes shutting down the phone and restarting seems to help, other times not.
I'm on pure stock and version 4.4.2.
I'll get an email and get no notification at all. Then I'll get another email (same application) and then get LED notification. Sames goes for SMS. It just seems so sporadic. There is no notification ever for missed calls at all.
I've tried programs like Light Flow and Light Manager, but really don't want to pay for the pro version of Light Flow to make my LED work as it should and Light Manager seemed to conflict at times with certain apps.
The LED notification is one of the most important things to me. It just needs to work and work all the time. Seriously thinking about trading my Nexus 5 for an LG G2 because of this.
Op turn off pulse notifications in settings reboot phone and than turn it back on and reboot.

Pretty sure I've done that before, but I'll give it another try. Thanks.
Sorry can't provide a solution, but I can confirm that I've had that issue on CM11 and SlimKat. But then I had it on my GNex with various ROMs sometimes too. I had just kind of resigned myself to the LED doing its own thing...

Well, it's not working as it should. What good is an LED light for notification if it works when it feels like it. I explained why I don't want to use either of those apps. Again, the LED light should work properly. It doesn't. I never had any issues with the LED on my GS3. It worked all the time without issue.
Every phone has its issues. I know it doesn't help but for the record I do not experience these issues. Never installed Light flow as the default functionality "just works" and even blinks more often since 4.4.2 I hope light flow isn't causing more issues then it helps.

I dont have a NS yet...I have been reading the boards and trying to decide if I want one but I have a Fascinate and since its been rooted and debinged its a good phone but stock it was crap. I use something called BLN to notify me when I have a text or email. It lights up your buttons at the bottom. Its in the market but I think your rom has to be made to use it..I'm not sure about that but you might want to investigate that...it works better than NoLED.
I have no led running now. It works. I have it set to blink So it flashes the TV off animation which is cool.
Honestly. If You already have a galaxy s phone don't bother with the ns. I had my n1 since the day it came out I needed a new phone. There are many things ivwill miss about it. Like the desktop doc.....
More threads about this? Really? Can we have a mod lock this please...

Thats kinda what I been thinking...
Best buy couldn't get my upgrade info so I paid full pop. Was on phone with t mobile and bestbuys system couldn't get it happening so I can still get another phone suplimented. Tried a mytouch 4g but returned it. So much t-mobile garbage on it plus gotta pay for wifi teather
BLN ftw, wait for a kernel that implements BackLightNotifications and then download Blinky which makes your softkey's blink ever few seconds when you get notifications.
So awesome. 3 out of 4 calls ended with the phone restarting
Sounds you guys are having even more trouble than Galaxy S phones, I hope it gets sorted out soon.
I can deal with a dropped call but having the phone restart wtf.... I may un install everything and go from there adding one app at a time
When the phone is off if you click the power button it will show you if you phone is still charging or not

Left hole (circle) is the proximity sensor. Right hole (oval kinda) is the ambient light sensor. Hope this helps.
Does this phone even have a led notification light? thats the dots next to the earpiece right?
I ask because on my phone, i never get any LED flashing notifications when i receive a text, email, miss phone call, or etc.
Ive searched all throughout my settings but to no avail.. help?
Thats not an LED. It doesnt have one! Search. Its been discussed over and over again
It seems my notification light is not working regardless what I do. Has anyone else had this issue after rooting and loading the fission rom?
I'm able to reproduce it as it happened both to my phone and a family members phone. I returned to stock rom by SBF and still my notification light doesn't work anymore.
Anyway idea's on how to fix this? Is it possible that our current rooting process breaks the notification light? I have also already tried booting into safe mode to make sure it wasn't an app.
mine works just fine running fission.
Well unfortunately mine is not working at all in either stock unrooted or rooted forms. This only started after I rooted the phone. Please don't tell me Motorola added a new "feature" that breaks the notification light if the phones been modified.
I would really like to figure out how to fix this .

Notification light only works with screen off, you know that, right?

Oh I know that. Light will not work with the screen off. I've sent my self several emails to test this. I also have events in my calender at 9:00 a.m. 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. which should also be triggering the light and never do. And no I'm not sitting there with the screen on waiting for it.
Every time I sent my self and email I waited to hear the sound notification and then waiting 2 minutes after yet still no light blinks. I think finally turn on the screen to clear the notification from the bar.
Even my facebook notifications which should trigger the light don't either. So far for the last week I've had no notification lights at all no matter what I do.
Right now I've SBF my phone back to stock and have left it unrooted and I'm still not getting any notification lights with the screen off.
I'm not stupid and know that the screen must be off.
possibly the LED is broken...these things happen. it may or may not even be related to the rooting either could of just coincedently broken at the same time. since youve returned your phone to stock and it still doesnt work then that seems the logical conclusion. not sure if someones found a service mode yet where you can test the LED, thats the next thing to try.

That is a possibility but I find it quite unlikely that both phones would have broken notification lights at around the same time.
Is there any applications out there that allow you to flip on the notification light without notifications? I've seen some applications that allow you to change the color of the light if your phone supports but.
Does anyone elses LED stop blinking for notifications shortly after it starts? I was hoping it would continue to blink until i check the message or what not.
Yep. Not sure why but it seems hit or miss on the LED.

is there anyway to bake this into the a ROM? It would really be nice to have it continue to blink so i dont have to turn my screen on in order to see if i have a missed message/call/etc

Yeah it's a little baffling how they setup the LED notifs, I'm hoping someone will fix/update/change that quickly. I've had the phone for two weeks and I still an not sure which blinking LED means what specifically.
Sire note, I'm also getting random vibrates which happen with no notifs at all and it's a little worrisome from a "what in the hell is the phone doing" standpoint but overall I love this phone.

I have had that before too, thought I was going crazy
Glad to see this is a sought after feature. Maybe I'll work with some devs and see what can happen.
So I got my Nexus 5 about two weeks ago, great phone, absolutely loving it! although I have a small concern...
On my Nexus 5 whenever I get a phone call, and I answer it, it still blinks an orange notification light and what I'd call a rainbow led light. If I miss the call, it shows orange and then fades to red, sometimes just shows red.
However, after clearing everything out in my recent app switcher, replying to all texts, looking at my notifications and clearing those out, the light is still there. Sometimes, and most of the time, it's just a rainbow looking light and flashes.
The only way to solve this issue is a reboot of the phone. Does anyone else have this problem? Is it a software bug, or is it a hardware issue?
I know I've found others with the problem but no solution or answer was really provided. I'm running the stock 4.4.2 KitKat, rooted, but it's 100% stock.
Just curious if anyone's notification led has went dimmer. When I got the phone it was bright but now it's dim and I'm trying to figure out why.

Dim notification light is randomly occurring on my phone. Sometimes bright, sometimes not... trying to correlate a specific action on my part (auto screen off, etc) triggers it...
The notification LED obeys the ambient light sensor on the phone (it has its own auto-brightness, essentially), so your experience might be due to that.
If I am in a dim environment and I get a notification, the LED comes up very dim. If I am in a bright environment and I get a notification, it comes up as very bright. It also worked this way on the Note7 and S7/S7 edge.

Makes sense as to why it's so random.
any way to customize the colors? i use to rock lightflow back in the day but not sure it works for this phone.
I have just found a method to get the led always shining bright, weather in pocket or dark !!
I was about to return the phone because of the dim led issue but then put my thinking Cap on and managed to fix the dam thing.
You just need root and Light Flow.

Happy bright LED.

Be hyper careful i saw some threads where lightflow was able to make the led stop lightning. Only hardware fix was able to bring it back alive. This happened on various s8 and s8+

I had my led light module replaced as it stopped working. But not sure if Lightflow was responsible...

I remember reading the producer of the app lightflow
Hade to change a value in the app code making the led going broke.
A lot of users reported that the LED that seemed to be broken was fixed after an update from Samsung. Most likely a software issue. I have been using Lightflow and Lightflow Legacy (most recently) with no problems. The legacy version is recommended for the S8.

Anyone else is using Light Flow again? I have been using it since S3 with no problems at all, but now my notification LED went off at second day until last firmware. I know the problem was not due to Light Flow but maybe the software failed more easily in presence of Light Flow. Now I am afraid the problem only could be partially solved and still sensible to Light Flow software commands.
So what settings did you use to get lightflow to always show a bright led... I have a S8+ and a S9, both rooted.. Both with Lightflow and no matter what settings I try I can't override the ambient display.
