is there any app in the market that could use the top LED ( the one that lights up when charging) to notify us of miss calls and messages?
not sure about the led, but trackball alert lets you customise the colour of the track ball for different notifications e.g. missed call etc...
I'd like a top led too, but I don't thinks it's possible on the N1.
might happen since we got the cpu led notification
I really like the redesign of the ESPN Scorecenter app that was updated yesterday.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.espn.score_center
I want to use their notification system to receive score/news updates on my favorite teams. But, for whatever reason, they do not offer an option to suppress audio and vibrate when notifications occur. I just want notification light and notification bar updates. Most other sports apps offer that as a standard option. I don't want to hear the stupid ESPN jingle at 2am if my team is playing a game on the West coast.
Anyone have any ideas on either how to suppress the audio and vibration for notifications or maybe some way to hack the app to remove those? I don't know where the audio file is saved. That could be a start, but that wouldn't help with vibration.
I have no interest in adjusting my system settings to accomplish this (i.e. turn off system notification volume or system vibrate).
I don't think something like Tasker would do the job because the app isn't open during the time I'm receiving notifications. These are just push notifications.
I've written to their support a few times now and have gotten no where with them. I really would think that this has discouraged many people from using the notification feature of the app.
Any ideas?
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
What I'm looking for is any ideas or suggestions on how to make Lollipop behave more like KitKat did for notifications with a Pebble.
What I used on Kitkat:
- Pebble watch for all notifications (using the Pebble software and Pebble Notifier to send all/most notifications to the watch)
- Phone on Silent mode
- Alarms ring on phone
This is a good combination for me as the phone stays quiet and the Pebble lets just me know what is going on.
On Lollipop
I want the same kind of setup now, but the lack of Silent mode makes this harder to achieve. I do know the trick to set the volume one above Vibe then reboot, and that does work... but it's a kludge.
- the Priority Interruptions actually silence all pebble notifications, so I have to keep it to All to get it, which then causes the phone to vibe too (unless I do the reboot trick).
So, does anyone have a combination of settings that makes this work like the KitKat days?
Here are a few thoughts on dealing with this. I use Llama or Tasker to get silent mode. Turning on silent mode in either of these turns on priority mode and then I use them to set the notification volume to 0. I have some Tasker stuff to toggle this from the pebble, and it's quick to switch profiles from the Llama notification on the phone for where location profiles don't already do what I need.
As to priority mode preventing pebble notifications, that can be avoided too. The gmail and calendar and call notifications work fine with the pebble app. I use light flow (but notification center should work too) for third party notifications. You have to add the application that forwards notifications to the list of apps that can notify in priority mode. So in addition to hangouts and other apps that I want to receive notifications from, I set light flow notifications to priority mode too (and in light flow I disabled their persistent notification because I don't need it).
I never leave priority mode on the phone, I just change the notification volume through profiles in the above apps. It works fine, and I get all notifications on the pebble.
Hope this helps.
Edit: And this does the right thing for alarms, since alarms are always priority.
I'm doing the same thing basically - I had Tasker rules to silence the phone (alarm volume = 0) in certain conditions, and when I upgraded to Lollipop they still worked. Not free, but it's workable. There are still some issues though that I haven't figured out, I'm not sure Tasker can un-slient a phone in that state (volume buttons will override) and of course Tasker doesn't know about the various priority modes at all yet.
After this update my led notifications stopped working.
Only fixed whatsapp notifications by turning it OFF and then ON in the application, but the groups notification LED doesn't work if the group was silenced (leaving the notification box checked). Then, if I disable the silence, LED for groups works again. But I only want LED for groups, I don't want sound.
I try to turn off all apps notifications and the turn ON in android settings but nothing.
Also disable notification LED in android settings and still the same.
My compilation is:
NRD90M.G30FXXU1DQAS
Everything works fine, but I hate the new notifications system on Nougat.
Any with the same problems?
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
Would like to see solution to this, my friend is also experiencing this

Yes have the same problem with gmail, download silent sound 1 sec mp3 http://www.jetcityorange.com/silent-ringtone/
and put it in notifikation sound under storage/emulated/0/notifikation and set that sound in gmail app and the blue led will work again with no sound
autokat
As long as sound is on then you will get the LED notification light. If the phone is in vibrate or silent, you wont.

LED notification will work as long as the sound is turned on. If the phone is in vibrate or silent you wont get the LED notification. Stupid, I know.
This is not exactly true. I have my phone in silent mode and vibrate mode and the led indicators works just fine. But my girlfriends phone the led won't work at all except with sound on.
I join the discussion because I get the same problem, bu I'm using Go SMS pro. Missed calls worked fine, but in go sms, just the screen goes on and no LED in slience or sound mode ...
Wath to do ? I tried to place my notification sound into notifications folder, but without more success.
[EDIT] Flashed the lastest BL and CP and the v2.4.1 and everything (I only tested GO sms) seems to work !
[EDIT 2] LED does not work when sound off
same here
just updated my Samsung Note 5 to nougat and the LED notification do not work when the phone is set to vibrate only or silent... the led notifications only work when sound it on.
I have the same issue. I hope Samsung fixes this issue soon and also bring Adoptive Storage Back!!
I'm also having the same issue. Only with go sms pro so far and only when phone is on silent. Wondering if this is a nougat issue or if it's go sms pro...
Tried everything with the settings, it's on DND with sound on, had messages and whatsapp on "priority notification" ON but on "show silently" so I could still get the LED indicator, it worked very rarely on MESSAGES but never on Whatsapp. Tried clear partition, tried rebooting, tried clearing cache on the 2 apps, to no avail.
Finally, to get it DND with LED indicator on, it's not the best since I wanted the option to have sound ON for texts and whatsapp when DND is off.. but clearly that won't work.. is I have:
- LED indicator on
- DND on
- Messages and Whatsapp on PRIORITY notifications
- APP settings: sound is on SILENT & vibration is off for both
This fixes it for *some of the notifications* not even all the time as a perma-fix. This is very frustrating, as much as my One Plus X lacked in camera settings and such, this function and DND worked so seamlessly at the press of a button, literally the side button.
Smart phones have become so complex god knows what is overriding what so things are not working the way they are supposed to. This will have to do until it's fixed if ever :\ and I don't feel like downloading a 3rd party software that will collect more data and possibly cause more issues for this one small thing. Ugh.
I'm hoping the next update will solve this annoyance.. and that this will be a proper fix for now.
yes iam experience same thing on my galaxy s7 930f exynos iam using whatsapp and have sound notification off and no vibrations iether and there is no LeD on my phone only if i turn on sound but the thing is i dont want sound in group chats in whatsapp that can be to annoying but i only want led

well if you turn off vibration mode as well then the led wont work
it doesnt work if u only want to have Led ... and no vibration and no sound
you have vibration on thats why it works for you
I can't seem to get the 'long' vibration setting on Telegram working despite having the notifications set to 'urgent' in the system notification settings as well as vibration being turned on both in the app and the system notification settings.
It also seems that Oreo notifications are buggy in general - notifications that i've already read/dismissed still show up in the status bar from time to time, and the 'urgent' setting sometimes automatically changes in other apps such as Whatsapp. It seems the notification LED is also inconsistent - sometimes indicates that a notification has been received even when the screen is on.
Is anyone else running into similar issues?
I have not seen this particular issue, but I have noticed that I can no longer set individual app sound notification. I have a different Text notification and a different Hangouts notification but ALL notifications use the default system notification sound.
Edit:
Looks like there is 2 notification settings in the messenger app, one is for general notifications, the other is for new notifications. I only set the general notifications, after setting the new notifications sound, all is good. This is a really stupid design.

Couldn't agree more about the design- I also get notification channels for individual people even though I have not pinned them, and those channels do not follow the general notification settings either
Same issue.
Both my alarm clock tone and any changes to the default sounds in apps are ignored. They all keep on using the default sound. Annoying for one particular app I use for health is full on like someone dropping a garbage can and by default full blast. It comes on at night regularly and there's a world of difference between being woken up gently and thinking there's a home intruder. Any advice?
