[Q] Control notifications LED - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Which app do you use for customizing notifications LED? I've read some negative reviews for Light Flow Pro and Light Manager Pro, I really don't want to buy buggy app.

Light Manager works fine for me
If you get a WhatsApp message just disable the LED function within WhatsApp itself, because it conflicts with Light Manager.

Ledblinker pro because the dev owns an N5

I tried Light Flow Pro, LED Blinker Pro and Light Manager Pro but none seem to work good. As soon as I get notification, LED will start blinking though, but so will display. It will turn on at least few times per minute, showing up screensaver or whatever that is (black screen with clock) and then slowly fade off. Any workarounds?

Disable notification light in system settings then reenable it. Mine is working fine. Never used an app to control it.

This yet another bug Google have managed to break with 4.4.2 which worked absolutely fine with 4.4 along with the DIM video recording and stuttering gallery app.

I use LED LIGHT MANAGER.
Free: (with ads of course)
has lights for whatsapp, facebook messenger etc
I've used LightFlow since my Nexus 4 days, can't be without it and it has no affect on day-to-day use of the Nexus 5. The stock LED notifications are next to useless IMO

Try going into Display>Pulse Notification Light and toggle it. See if that works.

[Q] LED Notification bug?

Hello,
I've been using Nexus 5 since 2 weeks and I got an issue with the led.
Sometimes (actually 3 times) while the nexus is charging and I recieve a whatsapp, the led blinks forever and only solves if I reboot..
I don't know if this happens only with whatsapp and neither tried to use Light Flow instead native LED app.
Somebody got anything like this?
Thanks
The LED is inconsistent for sure. I'm using Light Manager and it seems to help, but it's still not perfect. Often I find there are just no notifications for various apps. A reboot seems to solve the issues. I've never had the issue with the light not stopping though, but I don't use WhatsApp.

if you are stock, i'd imagine there may still be a few apps out there that are not currently optimized for kitkat yet. check into that. cheers

Which led, there's >1
Is there?? The notification one.
There's also a flash led...
Anyway, I agree, the front led is not too bright. Perfect afaic
I agree, really too dim and the frequency is too slow. Everyone is wondering why I stare at my phone with the screen off ! I can't seem to get Light Manager working too. Anyone ?

I have a P8 Max also. Light manager didn't work with it, but Light Flow does. Use that instead.
Ok thank you, I will try it, but I will miss the "Do not disturb" setting" in light manager.
I have to use this built-in function in Emui but it's disturbing, as the phone vibrate when disabling it in the morning. Would there be a way to silence it?
Thank you

I believe light flow functions in the exact same ways. It has a lot of options built in. Play around with the settings.
On my european Mate 9 light manager works without problems.

Light Manager&Telegram LED not working on Nougat

Neither of those apps works properly. Light Manager seems to have no effect at all on notifications, and Telegram settings simply don't work. Led is working, but it does the hell he wants.
I really don't know how to control this led, I can't find something useful in settings...
Sry for my english
I'm using Light Flow to control the led, and it works quite flawlessly.

Me too
I've tried Light Flow, not working.
Are you on Nougat? Because I think this is a software problem of Honor 8, not Light Manager or Telegram's fault. (I've used it on another smartphone with Android Nougat and it has always worked flawlessy...)
Yes, I use Light Flow on Nougat without any problems.

Used Light Flow in MM and now in N without problems.
I really don't know what to say, neither Light Manager or Light Flow are working for me (yet), and I've led notification only for groups on Telegram. I'm confused
Telegram updated several times, but the issue is still here; I really don't know what to do...
I use light manager in emuli 5.0 and it works
I used both Light Manager and Light Flow but did not work (MM B131).
I'm still fighting with this Telegram thing. I really cannot understand why led is working for groups, but not for single chats, I don't know even what to do right now... don't know if it's Telegram's fault or it's a phone problem.

I use Telegram and I have no problems with LED notifications.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
I already know that for a lot of people led notification is working, but for me it doesn't. I'm not crazy, this thing is not working, period.
However, this morning I found out that Light Manager has been recently updated, I tried it again and this time everything is working perfectly; so I've finally found a workaround for my problem, for now.
That's good

Notification LED not working

Hi, I recently bought this phone, made all updates then a factory reset.
While testing everything is working correctly, I noticed that the LED didn't work with notifications, instead with a LED testing app the LED lightened up, so I guess the hardware is fine.
I enabled the LED under the display settings.
Currently I'm on android 10 firmware with all latest updates.
Has anyone had the same problem? How did you solve it?

I am using my ZF6 for 8.5 months now and I've never had a problem with notification LED. I started with A9 WW_16.1210.1904.116, now I have A10 WW_17.1810.2002.133.
Just now is LED green blinking because I have got a new SMS message in Messages app.

Hi, I just found that the blue led is not working and the telegram app uses that color for new messages. Any other app that doesn't need the B led works fine. So the LED is working as intended, but not as needed.

It is a pity that you did not mention in what application you have a problem or with what color you have a problem. It's not that blue doesn't work but we don't have it at all
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-6-2019/help/notification-led-testing-t3938454
ZF6 have not RGB LED, but rather just RG and it can be combined to show Orange/yellow. Same design as Zenfone 5
