Hi,
I have just got a Huawei GR5 2017 (BLL-L22) phone. I'm trying to establish if this phone has LED notification (such as when receiving an email/Whatsapp/charging, etc). Looking at the specs of my phone it says there is LED notification and in the main settings menu>Notification & status bar there is an option for Pulse notification light (which is toggled to ON).
The problem is I can't see any sort of LED/light flashing or otherwise when i receive a message or email and there is no light when the phone is charging.
Can anyone help or clarify?
Thanks in advance
Strange, the led should work normally. Usually it becomes orange while it's under charge, green on calls/messages notifications... You could try apps who uses the led (like whatsapp, for example) to check if it's a software error or else. Did you recently updated the device, made something else that ended bad..?

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I tried playing around in notification settings but have never seen any LED flash at all. I have looked at the front of the phone where the manual that came in the box indicates the LED is located, but I can't physically see anything. I also tried installing a light manager app (can't remember it's name), but everytime I tried to do the 'test' it said I may need to press the power button to put the phone on blank screen and then no flash.
I'm beginning to think that the GR5 2017 doesn't have an indicator LED (hence the reason for posting on here in hopes that someone with more knowledge of Huawei phones would be able to tell me one way or the other).

The led should be present standing by online reviews, but a confirmation from an user who owns one is what you need.

Thanks for taking the time to respond again Red. That is exactly what I was hoping for when I posted this. Don't suppose you are friendly with anyone here who owns one are you?
Thanks again.

That's correct but in Thailand not Taiwan (though I presume they have the same 'Asia' version). I'll drop sweetjuice a message.

Maybe you already got your ans, but I just bought the GR 5 '17, build # : BLL-L22C636B160,
I would like to Confirm : It has a Notification light.
Related
that's my problem:
i got a desire s and realized the notification led only blinks about 5 minutes after missed calls or new messages.
then it stops.
apps like light flow, missed reminder, easy reminder, all together don't work well or don't work at all!
it must be possible to find an app to extend the blinking of the led to infinite!?
the colour of the led is not significant in this case, green would be enough.
i have no root and s-on.
i heard it would be possible to extend the blinking with "light flow" , but only with root access.
can you help me to find a good solution without rooting? on my old desire it worked very well without root! so my new desire s should do it as well....
First, POST QUESTIONS IN THE GENERAL SECTION.
Secondly, I've not paid much attention, but i'm pretty sure mine doesn't stop until i check my phone.
sorry for the post!
but maybe it's because i use stock rom and no custom rom?
the problem with the led notification für 5min should be relevant for every stock rom... for sure.
I checked, and the problem is there in the ROM i'm using. Just never noticed it.............. It doesn't really bother me, not that big an issue. I can live with this, cuz i'll see the notification as soon as i open the phone.
I have this "problem" as well, the time is too short, but if it's infinite it would drain the battery even faster, which isn't wat we want either..

I think that's why HTC made it short in the first place.
yes.... to stop the notification after 5 min to save battery makes no sense.
...that's the reasen why the led blinks infinite in orange when the battery is low?
i think that htc did't really get the meaning of a notification led!
any news?...
can't be spoken the last word..
Post the Problem to HTC and hope for changing with next update!

Why dont you try the app called "Missed reminder"
It's free on the market.
***Ignore this post- I never read first post properly****
cause missed reminder doesn't work.
there's no app for the desire s that works so far, i think!

Also phoneAlarm works as it is supposed to. This being said on a rooted Desire S and you have to pay about 2 US dollars for the full version.
Hello,
I've recently bought Galaxy S4 clone and it was working great, till I tried rooting it.
The rooting was through *android kingo root* and everything went flawless. After 15 minutes, I noticed that the screen is black but there's backlight led. I thought it might be out of charge or any silly reason, tried every possible solution but couldn't get any help.
The phone turns on and I can receive calls and reply by guessing the place, I also can hear the unlock/lock sounds. But no luck in turning screen on.
Any help guys ?
this is urgent
Bump.
Sorry but the case is realy urgent. Please enlighten me with any help. /:
This is really important guys /:
Hope anyone can give me a hint ..
Clone
Don't know about a clone but i can think of just two things,
First maybe it's a hardware problem and need to be repaired!
Second if it is caused due to rooting or anything then you can try flashing the official firmware of your device (if available).

Well I think its a hardware problem, because the phone starts up and I can hear sounds.
I could get a screenshot from the phone and see the karnel/baseband ... etc (Attachments)
I don't know where I could find a replacement screen or a rom flashed. Could you assist me with some hints or links?
Thanks.

A screen you should be able to order from china. A rom, now that will be harder to find as clone have almost no support or developers.

Well see thats the issue with clones. No telling what part they used from where.
This is all I could find.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512243
To be honest it maybe cheaper to replace the device with an authentic version from somewhere like swappa or something.

Well, at the moment I have no money at all. I spent it all on the phone and didn't complete 2 weeks. I will try to save some money in the next months to buy another phone or parts.
If anyone has another solution please tell me.
Hi all
Just got my 2nd nexus 5, first one went back for touch screen issues. Got 2nd one and this has problem too.
If someone sends me a text the pulse notification light pulses once and that's it. No repeat. However after that if someone sends me a text it works as it should, ie repeats every 10 seconds.
Seems very random as to when it works properly. Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks all
Chris

Yes, people have this problem on stock rom.. It appears randomly though and not as often as you're getting. A restart fixes it... Are you using Light Flow or any app to control the LED??
No will light flow solve this?

May be, May be not. Even light flow has some random problems with LED notifications... For some people it works flawlessly, for some it doesn't... Only way is to try it out...

Trying it now seems to work ok. Strange that my last nexus didn't suffer this problem. Wounder if Google are aware of this issue?
Also on a side note not sure if it's related but I'm sure my first nexus 5 did a software update when I first took it out of the box, my new one did not do that.

Yes, I think they are aware of it... I remember reading it somewhere around XDA about it.. Can't find a link to it though.. I guess we will just have to wait for the update and see... FYI, a reboot fixes the issue temporarily..
It didn't update because the ones which were manufactured in January came with 4.4.2 Out of the box which is the latest update!

Thanks for your reply mate, for me when I reboot the first message does not work, then they seem ok after that, that's just for sms, I get no notifications at all with whatsapp etc, however light flow seems to work ok at moment but would be nice if Google did a fix.
I have the phone for two days now, but I noticed that unlike GS4 and GS5, GS6 is missing these two important features!
there is no "answer vibration" feature , so if someone answer my call I can't let the device vibrate!
you can't put a "direct call" icon in the desktop! now you can put contact icon, then after clicking it will take you to the contact page for that person!
Anyone, is this the case with you? anyone know how to solve it?!
Go into the dialer settings and under call alerts you'll find what you're looking for.

Don't think it's Samsung. Looks like Google removed the shortcuts for the direct call, email, sms, etc... In lollipop from what I can find. I been searching and not much info on the web about this, guess me and you the few that used that feature.

it might be, but I used Lollipop in my GS5 and the feature was there!
I am most annoyed about the vibration thing! I even flashed a German ROM in my mobile but the vibrate on answer feature didn't show up! :crying:
Don't think it's the Os it's the phone model ID and product ID , if it's that important change it to a us variant, might not boot though

Direct call is different from a shortcut. With direct call you click the icon and it calls the assigned person. With the shortcut as in the screen you posted, it takes you to the contacts page, where you then call text etc...
Thanks though

Thank you for your answer, this feature is important to me. I tired to install the T-Mobil US ROM. but it failed with Odin! I guess because my phone is G920F. and the T-Mobil pone is G920I.
For the second point, I agree with tenxo. Galaxy phones used to have direct calls.

I have GS6 Edge Middle East edition
I have the same problem as yours no call alerts option
I really miss the vibrating feature after answering
I have the European S6 Edge - no call alert settings as well. I would like to remove the call connect tone and enable vibrate on answer. Hope Samsung will add this with the next updates.

This ROM is what you're looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-xtrestolite-pure-edition-1-0-beta-1-t3082467
Now I can't tell you if this ROM will work on your phone, but it has the option to turn on Vibrate on Call. This ROM is also a "LITE" rom, so it de-bloats alot of things. So read carefully, and ask questions BEFORE you flash.

Can someone also tell me if I got the 2015 or 2016 version?

Because I thought this phone had everything I ever needed in a phone. I never thought that it lacled LED notificatiion. This is my only complaint. If it did have it, I wouldnt need to return it.
But I think I read somewhere that the international version has LED notification.. But I'm not 100% sure.
For anyone looking still looking for the answer to this question, I just found it on my J7. Go to Settings - Accessibility - Hearing - then turn on the Flash notification. It using the front facing camera flash to notify you.
Nice find?!!
Question - how long before the flashing stops?

J700t is a 2015 variant with 2gb ram so it don't have an led
It flashes the back light instead of the front facing light
Then why does it have the option in message settings? I tried it but never comes on. I don't understand why there would be a led color setting but no led light on the phone
Nope
Nope buddy, For your device i think it won't has one. Just have a look at the manufactured date on the box.
