LED notifications on Oreo? - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

I am running the Oreo beta and none of my LED notifications are working. Not for messenger or allo. Also the charging light does not work. Is this a known bug on Oreo?

Speaking of notifications, anyone know why ambient display won't turn on when I get a new SMS when I'm using Textra, but it will do so when I'm using Google Messenger?

LEDs working fine here on Oreo.

That is strange, not working at all for me. I'm on T-Mobile what carrier are you on?

On TMo. It is working. Check whether LightFlow has the right permissions...

I'm in the same boat. Oreo beta broke my LED notifications and my Bluetooth. Every once in awhile the red charging LED will come if I plug the phone in and the battery is really low, but for the most part I get nothing. I've installed lightflow and even tried a factory reset with no luck.

Did you check the settings, because they are disabled by default. Oreo changes the way that notifications are handled, so defaults kick-in.

Working fine for me, including charge indicator.

I had this happen to me once for no apparent reason. No notifications and battery was fine. Had to reboot to clear it.
yeah this has been happening to me more and more often. I even went to settings to disable the LED and then renable, but the option was gone. Like stated before a simple reboot fixes it, but what pain.
I had this and it was driving me nuts trying to get it to stop blinking. after a while i got an email which made the led blink, then when i read the email it stopped. so maybe instead of rebooting, try sending your self an email

Lock screen notification problem

Hi, I have a Lex727 with eui s21 stock and when a notification arrive the screen don't turn on, I have to unlock with the fingerprint sensor to see the notification.
It any way to change that?
Hmm. Never heard of that problem. I'm on 20s. Maybe try some things from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/guide-how-to-past-notification-issue-eui-t3497530
You ought to switch to a custom ROM. eUI notifications are just royally screwed up in general.

I already tried everything they say on that link and the notifications arrive but I have to turn on the screen to see them. I know that Android 6 does not bring ambient display but I thought that I could see the notifications without having to unlock the screen, my previous phone has Android 8 so I have to get used to this previous version.
Thanks for your help!!

LED light not working after Oreo OTA update

So I just updated my Essential to 8.1 Oreo. I am currently with Koodo Mobile and UNROOTED.
The notification light does not come on for any notifications or for charging. It does come on if I shut the phone off and charge.
Does anyone else have this problem and/or any suggestions for a fix.
Not a great start for Oreo
Thanks in advance as always
The notification light is turned OFF by default in Oreo, at least for charging.
Go in to settings--> Apps & notifications--> Notifications, and make sure the setting is turned on.
Hope this helps.

Whatsapp not waking up the screen

Hi. I have a weird problem. When anyone rings me on WhatsApp my phone screen doesn't wake up, it stays on the always on display with the WhatsApp symbol there, so i have to double tap display to wake the screen to see who is calling. I've never had this problem before on any phone and my last phone was the Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
Also on my lock screen I'm just getting a symbol from whatever app messaged me and I then have to click the app symbol to see the message, whereas before it would have the header and part of the message written. I don't know what's happened. Hopefully someone can help me out? Thanks in advance.

Is it normal for the screen not to wake up when you get a WhatsApp call or video call? Is it a new feature to preserve battery or do I need to factory reset my phone? I've uninstalled it then reinstalled it and still the same. Is there a setting I'm missing? Thanks

You can enable Always on Display and set it to continuous.

My aod is set to continuous. When I get a WhatsApp call or WhatsApp videocall my screen does not wake up it just stays on the aod screen and I have to press the power button to wake the screen to see who is calling and to answer. Whereas if I get a normal voice call the screen wakes up automatically which is normal.
My issue is WhatsApp is not waking my screen.

I'm actually having the same problem too.
Another issue I also noticed is when I have WhatsApp calls, the phone does not go into deep sleep after (it's documented in other threads related to deep sleep).
I raised this issue to Samsung support, but no reply so far. I'm not expecting any tbh. I hope a firmware or Whatsapp update fixes these issues.

Yep, a reboot fixes the drain issue, my battery standby goes from below average to pretty decent after the reboot. I think more and more are noticing this issue as we're monitoring deep sleep problems.
I wonder if more have call not lighting up the screen issue. I noticed edge lighting not working for a lot on whatsapp, so could be related.
Having the same issue of WhatsApp call not waking up
Hello good folk.
WhatsApp calling is not waking up my screen with AOD on and when my phone is locked.
As soon as I take it off, however, the WhatsApp call wakes up my screen as per normal. This never happened before my last update. Even with AOD enabled, the calls would wake up the screen.
I went from nougat to oreo and then I did another auto update after that nougat to oreo update. When this update occurred, I started to notice the issue.
Hope something gets figured out.
OS: 8.1.0
WhatsApp Version: 2.19.115

Persistent LED notifications

I have the global version (stock android) and have noticed that the side LED's light up briefly upon receiving a notification but then stop. I was hoping they would be a constant breathing notification until I turned the screen on.
Wondering if this is the same with the Chinese version.

Edit: Disregard. Doing the same now.
Changed it back to default no luck, same after a factory reset. Oh well not happening for me.

Yes, this is also a problem in CN version. I have to go to lock screen to know if I have notification.
I also only get the brief notification instead of permanent. Global version here.
Edit: I tried other modes but it only lights up and then it's gone again.

I too have the same issue. But when I saw the settings, it was written "settings when receiving the notification". It only light up when u are receiving notifications lol. I wish we could feedback to the developers to fix this problem asap.
Yes, also problem in china version.
