LED notifications after Nougat 7.0 update - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

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

Atom O2 Plus Bug ? Need confirmation from other users.

I have noticed this bug on my Atom with O2 Plus and need confirmation from other users before I try to feedback to their support.
I have found that my Atom intermittently does not sound Notifications and Alarms. Couldn't figure why for awhile then I discovered this workaround :
1.
Using O2 Plus, switch profile to Silent. You will notice speaker icon on the top bar shows muted.
2.
Switch profile back to Normal. The icon at the top bar now shows the speaker as ON (but actually notifications and remoinders will now fail i.e. not sounding)
3.
Go to Settings / Sounds & Notifications / Notifications
On the Event drop down, select reminders
4.
You will see your notification alarm sound with a "test play" button.
Hit the test play button a couple of times, then wait a few seconds.
5.
You will mysteriously see the speaker status in the top bar change to MUTE !!! Click on it, turn speaker back on, close all the windows. Your notifications will now sound correctly at the appointed alarms and calendar times.
It seems the O2 Plus profile when switching back from silent to normal does not do a full job in turning on the notification sounds, just system sound or something like that.
If you carry out this procedure everytime you switch your profile you will no longer have missing / silent notifications !
Can other users confirm this bug / phenomenon ?
Anyone able to write a simple proggy or script to do the above procedure automatically ?
Haven't noticed it before, and I haven't missed any notifications, but you're right.
yeah i noticed this!!!THANKS FOR THE FIX!
just to add.besides notifications, you also lose screen taps when switching from different profiles.this apparently is not fixed by your solution.

Turn off notification vibration but leave the sound on?

So I usually keep my phone on a table or such surfaces, which make a loud and irritating rattling sound whenever my phone vibrates.
I want to disable notification vibration (or all vibration for all I care), but in a way that my phone will play a notification sound.
If there's a ROM that allows this, an app which plays notification sounds on Do not disturb mode, or a native android setting I have missed, I'm glad to use any of those.
You can disable vibration in each app, also in setting you’ll disable vibration for call.

But there isn't that option in every app. If there was, I would have done that already. I' talking about every notification, not just WhatsApp.
Actually many apps have this feature (vibration off/on). I got your idea but the answer is NO, there's no option on toggle turn off all vibration.

How to disable email vibrate notification?

Is it possible to disable the vibrate notification when receiving e-mails (using the stock e-mail app)? I want the visual icon to show up in the notification bar with no sound, just NOT vibrate. I want to keep the vibrate notifications for MMS, calls, etc..just not e-mails. This seems like a simple request but I can't seem to figure it out.
If its anything like the Gmail app then open up settings, inside settings, click on your Address [email protected], Then its inside there...
( I don't use the email app, sorry.. just a thought )
Settings --> General --> Notifications --> Select corresponding account --> UNcheck "Vibration" (unchecked by default for me)

Thanks for your response. The "vibration" option is grey so I can't change it. It is off by default anyways, but it still vibrates.
This is driving me crazy. Any recommendations for a different email app?
Open email. Touch 3 dots in upper right hand corner. Touch settings. Open notifications. Select email account . Turn off vibration.

If you're like me and always keep your phone on vibrate, this is actually a far more annoying issue than you would imagine. (The same fix can be used for Google Hangouts.)
If vibrate is not currently enabled under notifications and your phone keeps vibrating at you, it's actually because of your notification sound. If you change the notification sound to "Silent", your phone will no longer vibrate.

Yes, I always keep my phone on vibrate. If I switch it to silent, wouldn't that disable the vibrate from sms and calls?
No, those will still vibrate. You don't want to switch the ring tone settings, just the notification sound for your email. Go into settings, notifications, and then for the notification sound select "Silent".

I can't set WhatsApp notifications with no sound, no vibration but with LED activated

Hi, after upgrading to Nougat (my phone uses an almost Vanilla Android), I can't set the WhatsApp notifications the way I've had them forever. In the past, no matter what mode was selected (sound, vibration or muted), when I received a message, the LED would turn on green, no sound, no vibration.
Now in Nougat, if the WhatsApp tone is set to "silence" (inside WhatsApp options), the LED won't work. Period.
1. If I select sound mode AND set WhatsApp tone to any sound: the LED works, but the phone also vibrates and sounds. VERY inconvenient.
2. If I select vibrate mode AND set WhatsApp tone to any sound: the LED works, but the phone also vibrates, equally inconvenient.
In all cases, the option "vibrate" in the WhatsApp options is OFF, but this option seems to be totally ignored.
Is this WhatsApp fault?
That means this happen to all of you as well.
Is this my phone's company fault?
That means this only happens to me because it's a bug of my ROM.
If I go to Android settings, Notifications and select the option "receive silent" notifications in WhatsApp, it is like selecting tone "silent" in WhatsApp, no LED, no sound, no vibration.
I'm quite pissed off of the new notification management of Nougat, it's so confuse and it was way simpler before.

Oreo notification channel bug?

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?
