I have the exact same phone as my partner. Both the same OS, software version - everything. The only difference is that I can't get notification lights to work on her phone for things like SMS, WhatsApp etc.
If I choose a light colour in WhatsApp on my phone it works - flashes, works fine. Do the same on hers and she gets no light whatsoever. I have set our phones up to have exactly the same settings, neither of us has any special apps installed (like Light flow) and pretty much all our system settings are exactly the same. Her LED toggle is switched on the same as mine and she is using the same SMS app. Neither of us has any rogue-looking apps installed. We both have the same SMS client and all apps are up-to-date.
Does anyone have a clue what could be going on here? Her light definitely isn't faulty as it works when someone calls - flashes green, lights red when charging and blue when she double-taps the screen to unlock.
I'm all out of ideas now. She is not wanting to do a full restore.

Hello everyone,
Got a Bell Atrix 4G, unlocked it and I am using on Rogers network. So far, it is working well.
I am having a problem setting Notification Light. I tried the built in notification light under Settings and a few different notification light apps from market. I used to get a green light for email before but I don't get it anymore after playing with other free apps. I just can't figure this out. I put my phone on vibration mode at work so I would love to have notification lights working.
What I need is different lights for Missed calls, Email, SMS. Has anyone dealt with this issue?
Any help will be much appreciated and thank you!
I use the app light flow for that. Gives me total control over the LED. I have different colors flash for different notifications.
I use Light Flow https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow
and it handles a ton of apps and uses a TON of color combinations.
Worth the $1.
haha, i was going to start this topic today. I use blue for my Trillian notifications, Purple for yahoo mails.
will try the light app suggested above.
Thanks!
Thank you guys! Yes, "Light Flow" makes it work. Please ensure you turn on "Setting > Display > Notification LED".
Light Flow does not work correctly on the ATRIX AT ALL. I had low battery warnings going off when the battery was fully charged, no charge LED ON option, no charging LED, only discharging WTF?
how should this work?!
It flashes (white i think) when I get a sms or gmail.
Does nothing when i have a missed call - seems strange.
Anything else it should do? Thought it was a multicoloured LED, and assumed it may be customisable.
Would prefer a more regular pulse or constant on too, unless it drains battery loads.
Thanks
you can customize the led light to behave how you want. simply use light flow lite app.
So I installed Light Manager. I can run test and the LED blinks like I want it to. I have it enabled to come on for texts, emails and a couple others. All seem to work except emails. For some odd reason it never blinks when I get them. Anyone have an LED indicator working, if so, how?
I have not gotten my email light working correctly with Light Manager either. It's either blinking green (not the color I set) or it doesn't blink.
I don't think is is just a G2 issue. I have had issues also with the S3 at times. All I want is my texts, calls and calender and would love the tasks to have a reminder to light up the led till I address the notification and also have the phone vibrate or ring for a certain time. Well in my quest for this I end up usually messing up my LED system. I always seem to get to a point that my calender will not flash LED for more then the moment it is first going off. Task no light. I use Handcent which does work great though. Then last night messing with more stuff my Llama app doesn't give a slight noise or vibe when it changes state. My question is that is there a place I can clear cache or something as I add notification programs then remove them. I hate to do another reboot after just 2 weeks already. The first was because no way to get rid of cacheupdateservice wakelock. Thanks.
Have you tried Light Manager from the Play Store?
For me it works perfectly native and with Light Manager, but Light Manager offers even more flexibility.
Cheers!
Before I even get started, I know CM13 is outdated/discontinued/insecure. I'm aware, I'm stuck with it for a while.
I've been trying to get the notification LED on my phone to work the way I want. I had no problems doing this with Light Flow on my old Samsung GS4. Things were not so peachy until I was reminded Cyanogenmod has built in controls for the notification LED. I have everything set up just the way I want it, it demos just fine when I'm punching in the settings. The problem is it won't work reliably when I set my phone down.
With my GS4, if the screen was off and I had notifications, the LED blinked accordingly. My N6P doesn't do that. I've caught it blinking a few times throughout my day, and had friends send me notifications while it's sitting on my desk, so I know it works sometimes. But the LED won't stay that way forever, eventually it just decides my notifications aren't important enough to me and stops blinking.
I'm having a hard time really pinning down it's logic because it seems to just work when it wants to. I have a theory that the way the 6P is really aggressive about saving battery, whatever service controls the LED is being woken up when a new notification comes in and eventually being put back to sleep, but I simply don't know enough to say. While I'm at it, I don't think I have any way of assigning priority to the different notifications (a text message is more important than an email, for example), so my color code scheme might as well go out the window.
I don't know why google seems to hate the notification LED so much, every time I try to google the issue I just get tons of pages telling me how Google hid it away and you can turn it back on in the settings for AOSP. Obviously none of that is helpful, maybe someone here has an answer?
