Notification Light not working? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

So I updated my S7 recently and just today I noticed that the notification light doesn't work when the screen is unlocked, but when it's locked or on the always on display the notification light works no problems. I haven't found anything in the settings other than the display setting where you can turn on or off the notification light but that hasn't really helped.

[Q] LED Notification issue? Z3V

HI
I just bought the Verizon Sony Xperia Z3V. I notice that there is an option in settings - display and at the bottom is the notification light. I have it off cause at night it flashes like crazy. But I also notice that apps that have notification have the LED feature also and when I get a notification from that app the LED notification comes back to enabled. So I turn off every single LED notification for any apps that has that LED notification option(which i think is sooo stupid whne the settings should just default to off when i uncheck the LED notification box from the display phone settings). There's only one app I cannot find the LED notification option for and that is Google+. Everytime i turn off notification in settings on the phone and get a notification from Google+ the LED comes back enabled. I can't seem to find it in the Google+ setting at all for LED notification so my only option was to turn off notification but now I don't get no messeges from Google+. Anyone have any idea where this option is ?
Thanks
You could try an app like light manager or light flow to control the notification LED. You should be able to disable Google+'s LED from there.

[Q] Dark notification screen when locked

Hi All,
So, yesterday i have flashed the CM12 rom on my opo. All great, I specially like the lockscreen notifications.
Now I also have the ambient display option which makes the screen light up when a notification arrives, but it is a really low brightness when that happens. The screen comes on but I can only read the notification when im in total darkness. Is there something to do about that?
Thanks, Daniel

[Q] Android 5.1 + Lightflow + Notification LED

Since upgrading to 5.1 (custom AOSP build) - the notification LED flashes for any notification (fine...) but the LightFlow settings only appear to take note when I turn the screen on then off which kinda defeats the point of using LightFlow (Different colours tell me what notification it is).
I thought I could just disable the "Pulse notification light" setting but that also kills LightFlow completely.
Any tips how to get the LED to stop flashing for all notifications and let LightFlow do what it's supposed to? (non-rooted)

Light Manager is superior. Different colors works there.

LED Notification Light?

Does anyone know if this phone has a LED notification light like the P20?
There's no LED notification light on the P30. It would be nice if part of the screen would pulse on unread notifications, but I haven't found such an option yet.
buy a smartwatch instead, it does the trick.

I'm using the NoLED Settings app for this. Not perfect but does overcome my problem of no notification LED - can't believe it was sacrificed to allow a slightly smaller notch!.
I use Always on Edge here. Not perfect, but better than nothing.

Notification brightness

Hi guys,
So really miss the led notification on pixel 3 (old subject). However, with notification for wake on, the screen lights up when a message comes in. I am a bit perplexed though, for snapchat, for example, when a notification comes in the screen lights up equivalent to the brightness of the screen that is set. So if my main screen is set to 60%, snapchat will display the notification to 60%. Great. Issue is with whatsapp, sms texts, etc. The notifications are not bright at all or according to the screen brightness. Anyone know if (a) brightness of notifications can be controlled to screen brightness like snapchat (b) if not why the notification is different to snapchat ?
Many thanks
