LED issue - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

So, I was on the nougat beta for a few months, and now on official, factory reset as well. My continuing issue is that when charging, the LED does not blink for certain notifications like Gmail. Is anyone else experiencing this?

After doing some heavy research, it turns out that because I had the notification sound set on silent the led would not notify me. I tried other sounds as well as default sound and the led now works. Weird little bug. Hope that helps anyone with the same issue.

[Q] SMS vibrate nearly gone

When I first got my Charge, it vibrated normally when I got an SMS. However, after tinkering with it for a while, the SMS vibrate barely works. It feels like the motor runs once, and that's it. I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue- all other vibration works normally. I can get an app from the Market to change the SMS vibrate, which works, but instead of replacing it, it just does the custom vibrate before the miniscule system vibrate. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know how to fix it?

Nexus 5 sound notification lag/issues?

I did a quick search but didn't find exactly what I was looking for so thought I'd ask here.
I am currently running the stock rom with gravity box and franco kernel (along with light flow) and have noticed that my notifications are kind of wonky.
First, when you turn the volume up and down using the buttons on the side is there a lag of about half a second between when the volume slider moves and the notification sound plays? (For instance, if you go from 0 volume to full volume the slider will hit the top about half a second before the sound comes out of the speaker)?
Second, when receiving notifications there seems to be a delay in the audio sometimes. When receiving messages back to back sometimes the notification doesn't even play at all the second time around or plays and cuts off halfway through the sound. Does anyone else have an issue similar to this?
I decided to deal with it until the next new android version is dropped and then was going to see if doing a factory reset fixed the issue but thought I'd ask in here to see if anyone knew what the root cause might be.
Thanks.
The one I notice most that seems odd is hitting the power button. The screen collapses to the line, goes totally blank, then it seems like someone says "Oh!, I was supposed to play the turn off sound - I'll do that now".

I have a similar set up minus light flow. I get distorted/ delayed notifications. the phone vibrates first, but then a second or two later I get notification (sometimes, sometimes no notification). Often the notifications are distorted.

Yes! Distorted is the word I was looking for. I'm not sure why this is causing it and I wanted to see whether or not other people were having this issue as well.

I don't have a sound play when I turn off my screen so I wouldn't know whether or not I have that issue. The notification issue is quite annoying though as it causes me to miss notifications.

LED notifications after Nougat 7.0 update

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

I tried this but dont' work. No led notification.
It seems that the led depends on the sound notifications.
Thanks anyway.

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

Le 1s Notification light issue

After installing crdroid v3.8.8 in my handset a problem occurs in notification light. Notification light is not working properly. So, is there any way to solve this problem. It only works if there is any missed call otherwise it is not notifying. I tried all the settings given in but none of the works.

Haptic feedback issue

Have noticed for the past 4 days that the fingerprint haptic feedback is not vibrating for the correct fingerprint but vibrating for the wrong one. Gboard vibrations work only when the vibration strength is increased beyond the zero mark, that is does not work on system default vibrations. The back key vibration is also not working. No battery saver mode is active, vibration in sound as well as Accessibility are switched on. Vibration working fine for incoming calls and messages. Anyone facing the same issue and has found any fix??

Wow, I've been having similar issues and it's been driving me crazy. For me it's not that vibration only works for some things and not for others, it's that it stops working for everything periodically, and comes back after a while. Are you on the February Pie update? I wonder that could be the issue.
