Gmail doesn't light up screen when I get an e-mail, but I get the sound notification. - General Questions and Answers

It looks like a gmail only problem. Everything else works fine. How can I fix this?

it is probably because of gmail notification setting. maybe lock screen notifications are disabled and thats why it does not wake the phone screen

No LED Notification for Emails?

I get a blue led for sms.
No led for emails with kaiten mail. Then tried gmail and still nothing.
Will try stock next.
Double checked that it's not blocked in app notifications (it wouldn't be by default and I didn't touch it).
This is on regular Sound mode and Blocking mode is Off. The new Silent mode in LP still disables LED and Alarms as far as I can see.
Edit:
Turning on Gmail sync in Accounts and using the Gmail app gives blue led notifications.
Email used to be white on S5 with blue for sms and had settings I believe..
Now it's just on or off. No control.
Does everyone just use Gmail?
Surprised there hasn't been a thread about this.

Lock Screen Notifications - Not Displaying When Phone Is Off

I am experience an issue (what I believe to be an issue) with the lock screen notifications not showing up when my screen is off. When I receive text messages or emails when my phone is off (AOD is disabled and lock screen notifications are enabled) the screen does not turn on and display any notifications (I could have sworn it did on my S6). Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to have it display my notifications when I receive them if my screen is off?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Unless it's built in to an app, the screen does not turn on for notifications. If there's a setting for that I could not find it.
I'd like that too, it works nicely on the iphone.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with Verizon that I just bought and have the same issue - it won't show notifications on the lock screen (with AOD off). For examle, any Gmail notifications. The screen just stays blank and does not turn on to show the notifications, unlike every other smartphone today (my Nexus 5X did that). Am I missing something? I can't believe that this awesome phone would be missing such a fundamental feature (i.e. turn on the screen temporarily to show notifications). Other people also have this issue?

Screen wakes when there's new email

On the latest 6.01. Every time the gmail notification comes up on new mail, the screen wakes when it's off. I can't find any setting to disable this behavior unless I disable the notification completely. It wasn't like this on Lollipop.
Found the cause, was due to lightflow. Only solution is to disable lightflow completely.

No notifications?

I haven't been receiving any notifications over the last few days, whether its email/text or whatever, the phone doesn't vibrate/sound like normal, just a quick split second vibration but no notification led or sound. Nothing shows up in the status bar either, but if i go into the app i can see the new email or text.
What's going on? Haven't seen an issue like this before.
Never mind, i must of disabled led blinker pro notifications for some reason, works now.

LED notification

Hi,
get my Honor V10 today and the first thing i recognized, that notofication LED is not working for Gmail. Same as my other Huawei/Honar devices before.
Is there any solution to make it working?
I think you can see in settings-apps-gmail and notification, or direct in gmail app
I have the same problem. Everything is checked for notifications including inside the gmail app. I do get led notification for phone and messages but not gmail. Does it work for anyone else?
