Text message led indicator issue - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6

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.

[Q] Led Blinking light

Is there an app where if u receive a txt message, missed call, email or w.e. n let say you u weren't close by youre phone and phone goes back to standby or sleep. Will the led lights on the phone blink like a normal led notification on the g2x.

Yep agreed on that one. The only other 2 I have found worth while and tested are...
"Message Notification"
--This glows a large envelope (literally the size of your screen) momentarily then fades out. This occurs along with your default profile notification. You then have the option to adjust the reminder settings and frequency. For instance that screen with the envelope will glow then fade every 4 minutes if you'd like. I work with my phone resting on a cradle or propped up against something so if you're nearby and miss a text you'll see it shortly thereafter. I know you're OP referred to something without a constant reminder, I'm sure to save battery, but this is again totally customizable and pretty cool. It's worth giving it a shot and then delete if you dont like it.
...and...
"SMS Popup"
-I still use this as of today... when a SMS or MMS text comes in it actually pops up a "cartoon style quote bubble" that has the senders contact card in it as well as the first 4 or 5 lines of message text. You have 3 buttons to choose how to engage: Close, Delete, Reply. Clean UI and works nicely. It stays posted in the foreground so when you're droid wakes up or you unlock screen it'll be there... however it doesn't light up the screen aside from the initial receipt. Hope this helps... the one overground posted above is great too. I have that installed along with SMS Pop.
alright thank u yes the g2xone looks fantastic, n about the message notification i couldnt find it in the market but thank u once again.

how to use LightFlow??

I downloaded and installed Lightflow to control my LED but I feel really stupid. I go into the app and designate which apps get what colors and when ever I get notifications, the LED never stops flashing. even if i check and reply to a hangouts/sms message, the LED continues to flash GREEN (the color I chose for sms)
I thought that the LED would stop flashing if I either A. swiped the notification away from the notification bar, or B. read or read and replied to it.
same goes for Gmail and Facebook and MIssed calls. LED always flashes the color I chose and never goes away despite calling back, replying to the email etc...
what am I doing wrong?

LED notification apps

Hi,
For a few months now (since I have S6) I'm trying to find a working app, that would manage my LED notifications. I've tried Light Manager, Led Blinker, Lightflow....
But I have a common issue with all of them. Once I have a new message/missed call/new email LED starts to blink with the color defined in the app settings, that's fine. But if I read that email e.g. on my laptop, the notification won't disappear. Even worse, when I get new message or have a missed call, I open the app (default messaging app) and read the message or see the phone logs - the notifiction will still stay in the notification bar. And then, once the display dimms, LED will start to blink again.
This all is not happening if I don't use app to manage LED. So it has to do something with those apps settigns....or I don't know. Am I missing something, some settings....?
This was not happening on my S4.
I would be so grateful for any help.

No notifications?

I haven't been receiving any notifications over the last few days, whether its email/text or whatever, the phone doesn't vibrate/sound like normal, just a quick split second vibration but no notification led or sound. Nothing shows up in the status bar either, but if i go into the app i can see the new email or text.
What's going on? Haven't seen an issue like this before.
Never mind, i must of disabled led blinker pro notifications for some reason, works now.

LED Notification Problems

I've noticed the past week or so that my notification light (LED) only works a few times and then stops. It used to work continuously for voicemails and text messages until I activated the screen. I don't see any notification (blink light) settings out of the ordinary. Any thoughts on how to keep it going until I turn the phone on or log in? Thanks
