LED notification light? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Anybody hear if it has an LED notification light? Wouldn't be a deal breaker, but would be a real bummer.

Yes there definitely is, saw it in a video somewhere. Can't remember where but yeah I saw it. If I find the video i'll link here
EDIT: Found the video here you go. Just go to the 1:37 mark and you'll see it flashing blue.

Blinking Notifications

Is there anyway to make the trackball blink for notifications and when the phone rings? Saw the mt3g fender and thought it was pretty cool when the trackball blink when the phone rang.
Never really thought about it, but that sounds like it would be awesome!
this has been asked before a few times, and it would be awesome.
flipzmode was working on it as far as i know, but haven't seen anything about this (or flipzmode now that i think about it) lately.
i found this thread and i know a few others are all dead.
i think the only way would be to make an app that does it, they were trying to get it built into Handcent but with no avail.

HTC Incredible LED + Sound notification bugs?

has anyone else noticed that when you recieve a sms/mms/email or w/e the sound plays through the phone even if you have headphones plugged in? So annoying to be in a library with your headphones on and txting thinking the sound will come through headphones when its not, :|
second issue is with LED Notification. I thought for the longest time it didn't work but it turns out the LED notification is the same LED used for charging; the tiny ass microscopic one that you can barely see, making LED notification retarded. There are two LEDs on the left side of the Incredible they appear to be a large blue and red LED, anyone know what these are for? I thought the LED notification would work on those LEDs, I need something bright that I can actually see for LED notification.

I don't know how this would work wiht a plugged in headset but I purchased Tell2Me for around $2.00, which works very well for blue-tooth headsets. When my headset is on, the phone/text/email is announced and read through my headset. They even have an option of voice reply.
As for the notification lights... I believe they are small because many people complained they were too big/bright and ugly. I know with many of my past HTC phones, I disabled them because they were so bright, they would light up my entire room at night.
The two "lights" you mentioned are actually light and proximity sensors.

Notification alert causes audio and video to pause

I purchased the Note 8.0 last week and like everything about it. However, there is one annoying issue that I have yet to resolve. I get allot of notification alerts and when watching a video or listening to music, the incoming notification temporarily pauses the video and interrupts the audio. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how did you resolve?

This happens with my Samsung Galaxy phone too. My workaround was to turn off most notifications. Also, I use a sound profile app to turn off the notification sounds during the work day, and I don't notice that the muted notifications affect anything I am listening to. I don't know how else to "fix" it, but perhaps someone else will have a good idea.

Have you given the blocking mode a try, it has an option to supress notifications as well as calls and stuff.

I did try the blocking mode, but it bugs me that there's an icon showing that the blocking mode is on. I haven't found a way to turn that off. (Dang, I'm picky.)

Camera problem. Help me please.

Hello guys, I'm on nitrogen OS. With ElementalX 4.0. My camera was working great till today morning. I even made a WhatsApp video call. I don't know what happened after that. Now whenever I open the camera app it's extremely dull. Even with a bright background it's very dull. I can only see TV or my laptop screen. After I take the pic, it comes out a little better. But not like before. Any ideas? Help me please.
I am going out of station next week. I had deeply relied on 6P. Now i don't know what to do.

Android 7.0 Nougat Notification Bug

There is bug in nougat, Under settings -> notifications, if turning off "sound and vibrations" for an app, the notification LED light does not report notifications.
Currently there is no way to have sound and vibrate turned off and use LED as notification. To use the LED notification, sound+vibrate+peek must be turned on. SUCKS. This was not an issue in 6.0.1
every update they make worse and worse also if they fix something they ruin something else
only in 3 last build tried to fix sound balance made worse(the upper speaker is much better so they down grade him for balance :\, update after that they ruin charging (at least for me i cant turn off charge optimization after last 6.0.1 update ..
Same problem is related also to Whatsapp, I have removed audio and vibration notification for groups chat, and set led to light blue, but light blue led never blink, it blink white for single chat but just because there is the audio and vibration notification activated for single chat.
Yes, seems to be affecting all applications, including WeChat, LINE and WhatsApp.

That's a shame: long awaited and buggy upgrades from Sony... Especially with LED notification which was a major reason why I chose Sony...

Fingerprint recognition
At least they have fixed the fingerprint recognition. Now it's as fast as iPhone and faster than Samsung
