You can see when my friend sent a message, there's a blue light blinks around the screen. Sometime it's red or green. How to turn it off?
You may check what apps you did install... That's 100% not on stock rom/apps.

You need to be more specific. Are you on a custom ROM or stock? If Stock, which oxygen OS version?
Next question, have you made any modifications such as kernel tweaks, color profile tweaks or anything you think might be detrimental to overall screen performance. That's the first step to troubleshooting(questions), second to that would be playing around to see if its an easy fix and the last step scenario would be providing a logcat (someone experienced should help you handle that).
I just bought it few hours ago, it's stock rom.

Well in OxygenOS. Go to Setting- Display- LED Notification - per app notification. Uncheck for your message app. Done.
Pretty same in Custom roms too.
finally, it's gone. i turned led notification off.

I just got my EVO today and I downloaded handcent for messaging and when I go into the settings the LED flash setting aren't available there to set. It shows the settings and shows its checked off to to flash for notifications but I can't select the settings. Is this a app problem, an EVO thing? Anyone else with this problem?

Simple...ditch Handcent and get ChompSMS
ChompSMS IMHO is 100% better then Handcent. LED notifications work, easy to setup and understand.
I just noticed the LED does blink, I just can't access the settings. Does the EVO have a multi colored LED? I'm going to guess probably not.

I do not think it does...just one color LED flash.
I believe it is a dual color LED, red and green. Green for notifications/fully charged, orange (green and red together) for charging, and red for low battery.
I haven't messed with any LED notification settings in Handcent but mine flashes green when I get a message.
I wish it would flash while it was charging though...
Mine flashes green with the messages,along with the Orange and red for the battery. Maybe those options are locked cus we don't have the led'sthst change color. Which sucks because you would think with such a high tech device they would add it.

I forgot, but I am colorblind so all I see is one color
Looks like I'm wrong about the red part. My phone is on low battery right now and is flashing orange. So I guess it just has green and orange? Green + red definitely don't make orange too, I never did pay attention in art class...
Handcent is awesome. You might have conflicting settings with the normal messaging app. Any time you install a replacement SMS app, you have to be sure to turn off all notifications in the original messaging app. Otherwise it gets quirky.
I'm having the same issue. I'm pretty sure when I first got my EVO, the LED would blink blue when I told it to, but I can't be 100% sure. However, Handcent sent out there usual bi-weekly update and then it would only flash green, PLUS the settings for LED were greyed out and unavailable to even change. So I just lived with the green flashing hoping they'd make an update.
I think it was Tuesday this week, they send out another update and the settings were ungreyed so I thought they had fixed it. I set it to flash blue, but instead, it won't flash at all now. Today I check and there was ANOTHER update to Handcent so I downloaded it and the setting are back to being greyed out, but it still doesn't blink at all.
Like I said, I'm pretty sure I saw it blink blue when I first got the EVO (and all this stuff worked great on my G1), but I know for sure that it blinks green, orange and red. If the battery goes to extremely low and starts popping up the low battery warnings, the light flashes red. When its charging, it's orange.
Hope they get this fixed. Just wanted to chime in because its not some setting or something that we are overlooking; pretty sure its the app.
It has a green and red/orange LED. No other colors.

I haven't noticed a blue blink,
but I got the same thing with the updates, and for the brief moment when it wasn't grey and could play with the settings, it was set to blink blue, but blinked green.

Hello All, new Android user (iPhone 3g to Inspire) and trying to understand how the notification LED is supposed to work. I had few missed calls but there is no notification LED at all. I checked the Settings > Display > Notification Flash and all the check boxes are checked. Do I need to check any other setting (saw a post about a 5 min led flash time limit)?
There is a free app from the Market called "Missed Call', has MUCH MORE options and is what I use.
Details here
Try it out and if you like it let us know.
Thank you! I'll try that app and will let you know.
Hmm am I the only one still getting just the same green light with Missed Call?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
I also use missed call, and it works great for sound notifications. as for led notifications all i get is a green led. does the inspire only have one color (green). also with missed call the led only blinks for a while when the screen is sleeping...then it stops, anyone else experiencing this?

yeah, the LED does orange/amber and green. In a couple weeks or sometime, the root may allow for us to set suctom colors for different things, a la Nexus One style.
and the LED will only flash for a certain amount of time before it stops because it thinks you are purposely ignoring whatever it is. I'm not sure what the time frame is though
I was having problems with my LED as well. I checked the settings though.... it was off. Face-palm moment. Reading this thread made me realize what I did though, so thanks to you! haha.
Hi. I'm posting this here because I figure the Supercharged thread in the dev area isn't a support thread. ;-)
So I flashed Supercharged v4 last week and have had absolutely no problems with it whatsoever. However, I have noticed something that's not a problem, but it is a little distracting, and I hope one of you guys know what's going on...
Ever since flashing the rom, from time to time when my screen is off I'll see the LED flash at two second intervals until I turn the screen back on. But when I turn the screen on I don't see any notifications. Further, when I check each of my apps that have notifications, none of them are set to use the LED... and to top it all off I can't find any system settings that indicate the LED is being used in any way.
It's a mystery. It's not a showstopper but it's a little distracting because it keeps blinking at me and I can't figure out why. Do any of you know why?
Ya so mine does the same thing. Its the light flow app. Its done that before. "Flashing for nothing" I just restart the phone and it hasn't done it again.
Thank you!
I didn't even think to look at light flow. I don't use it... it's a relief to finally know what's going on.
Yeah the Light Flow app is what is doing it. Although I don't think mine has flashed for nothing. It has quite an extensive settings area so might want to edit it so it only goes on when you want it to. You can even change the color of the LED!!! heheeh
Help please. I'm trying to sleep and there's a darn purple light blinking. I have no notifications or anything. What could be causing this? It used to happen on my Optimus G Pro but I just blamed the phone. What could it be?
Thanks!

Do you use lightflow? Sometimes the "notifications" or whatever don't clear properly from lightflow even if notifications are cleared light flow keeps sending LED signal i guess. The way to undo this (until it happens again) is to go into lightflow, go to 'Tests'>'All Enables LEDs Test' then click 'STOP' to stop the test. This will stop the test thus removing all LED notifications or whatever. Happens to me all the time.

Was your battery below 15%? I had the same thing around 11 last night and "cleared" all notifications in light flow and it kept coming back. I think the default low battery was purple.
I had the random purple light blinking too. Maybe lightflow needs to be updated for 4.4.

works fine here...though i have an n4 with 4.4..maybe nexus is an issue...but like i said sometimes clearing all notifications DOES NOT WORK, this has ALWAYS been a random issue with lightflow some notification refuse to get cleared from lightflows queue. What you have to do is manually clear lightflows notification queue ..just follow my post above.
Seems to be a hanging application since you also had the same behavior on your G2.
Although I have the setting enabled, I miss messages for hours because I never see the LED blinking. I know the hardware works because it lights up during charging and Textra can enable the LED through it's app. Do any of you have notification LED working for non-messaging apps like email, xda, banking, etc?
After searching around the forums and the web, it appears that EMUI only shows LED notifications for stock apps. It will only blink for 3rd party apps if those apps have an option within the app's setting. I am missing so many notifications because of this. Without that blinking light, the phone looks like nothing has happened, causing me not to wake it up to view the missed notifications. I hate this so much! This is the same problem I have with iPhones. You never know when a message is waiting for you because it doesn't blink. The phone could be completely powered off and you wouldn't notice until you tried to wake it up.
There option like Light Manager and Light Flow may want to give them a try for led notifications

Thanks for the suggestion. Light manager works great, but it prevents the phone from sleeping and caused horrendous battery drain. I'll just have to get used to waking my screen regularly to check for notifications. Not only does this look like an iPhone, it acts like one too! Lol

LOL like the quote.. "Even acts like one" (iphone)
I must say I use Lm Pro 11.2 and I don't get the battery drain now. I used to but after a few clicks of the Phone manager my device has settled down OS is B360 L09.
Since I have read this I saw that notification led is working. At least for viber and it is like viber an purpel led color.. I did not saw for regular messages at least for now.. couse all was over viber.. but yeah its working..
Will report if the regular message will trigger the led notification
Yeah, I know messaging apps will trigger the LED, but a lot of my other apps don't get the same treatment. My banking app, my home security app, and even Google now traffic alerts don't trigger the LED. It kinda sucks!
For now it worked for normal messages with green led and viber with purple led..
Will try to see what about other apps like notificstions from you tube maybe..
If it is like you said for banking app and thoese other apps it may be incompatibility with this sistem or just with the setting option..
Becouse if it would not work at all then it would be something different.. but since some of default apps works and some not.. it could be the app incompatibility..
I think it'd a flaw in EMUI, because this didn't happen with any other Android phone I've ever owned.
You are right

Honor 8 LED light not working all of a sudden
I have a problem with the LED light stopped working at all. Yesterday, there was a red light going on for hours, which made me turned the phone off. Today, the LED light just stopped working for any apps and doesn't even lights on while charging. I have switched into the option of setting the screen on whenever I get a notification, but it's not the same as the LED light, because this drains the battery. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this problem? I'll appreciate it.
Did you try a wipe cache or an Hard Reset?

How old is your phone? Maybe the LED got busted.
