Good day,
a friend of my'n now has the new pro.
after a week or so the round dpad started to light up as if there is a missed call or something like that.
but there is nothing unread or missed.
this thing is now blinking every view seconds for a week now.
we checked all things that could set off the light.
we removed the battery
but nothing helped.
does anybody know a solution?

The beacon light is supposed to blink when there is a new voicemail waiting.
If there's no voicemail pending it's probably out of sync.
You could try leaving a message, then clearing it by listening to it to see if that resyncs it.
Otherwise you can disable the beacon notification function entirely through Phone/Settings.

Thanks,
i will tell him to try that
I am running an android build (froyo v2) on my stock hd2 rom. I have had a few issues but they have all since passed. The only thing I miss is the notification lights. For example if I had an unread sms it would keep blinking. This doesnt seem to work on the android build. Another problem I have is that when I charge, the led light doesn't stay on, it only blinks if i unlock the screen and touch the notification bar, but it never stays on....
I did a search on google and on the forums and couldn't find anything.
Is there something I am doing wrong?

I have the same problem. My LED light no longer stays on.... I cant find any solutions after searching the forums...
this is not an issue that only u have...this is a known problem and still devs working on this..!read every time u download a build.. that led lights still not work properly!works only for someone when battery is charging..but when u have a text message or a missed call its not blinkin..thats normal..!i hope they will fix it soon..!
Hi. Is this issue resolved yet? I am using daniest v4.2. I went to display to enable the led notification option for miss call and sms but it is still not lighting up. However it lights up in red when on low battery.
some release use some libs that break led notification.. i use a release like that and i've solved my problem with "led me know".. it's an app that activate led notification. sometimes don't work fine but is well.
sorry for my english! ^^

Thanks! I will reply with a feedback after trying it out. Thanks friend!
you're welcome man!
After trying out led me know for a day, it seems very stable. No issues at all. Blinking of led stops once missed calls and unread messages are dismissed. By the way i had the compatibility mode enabled.
Is there a way to change the blink rate of the notification LED?

I was never able to actually get the blink "rate" to change. The colors all worked but still had the slow blink rate.

Same thing, led color changes but still blinks slow. Like the new colors though.

Yeah, this thing doesn't have the same control over the flashing LED that a BlackBerry has. Blink rate seems slow and random. Lightflow is good, but it is no BeBuzz. I find frequently that the LED is flashing for seemingly no reason. There are no alerts, but yet the LED is flashing. I really hate the LED on the ATRIX.
Never ever had it flash for no reason. There is always a reason so u should check your settings.
But u are right for sure, Light Flow is no BeBuzz!!!!!

On Light Flow this happened to me when I saw the notification (at least for the Google Talk app) in the notification bar but didn't actually open it up in the Talk app. Light Flow probably still thinks I haven't seen it, because I don't think it can tell if I've seen and cleared the notification in the status bar.
just set your notifications to end blinking at screen-on rather than app.
Never had the problem of it blinking for no reason, i now have the full version and it blinks more often than before and i have enough control of the LED for how i use it tbh
Agreed with above and I think it's draining my batt. Didn't know we had this colors available though!
When I was porting my tilt there was a lib that controlled the blink. I don't remember what level the lib is. It's certainly possible that it is kernal level and we can't touch it yet

I thought it was flashing for no reason once. Turned out this program flashes the led when a mail arrives in the non priority inbox as well (native gmail only flashes for priority inbox for me). It triggers the led then, but naturally no notification. Turned gmail notifications off as a result, still have to see whether it will blink for priority inbox (show week).

Does any else have a issue with their LED Notification Light not working?
No light when charging, or SMS, or Email, Missed Call, Low Battery... never lights up. Almost thought they forgot to install the LED until I used LightFlow to test it. And even then it only works when the screen is off, once the power button is pressed to turn the screen on then LED goes off, even though I set LightFlow to clear notification Manually. (LightFlow was just used to test if the LED was installed/functional.)
Uninstalled LightFlow, send myself a couple test emails and text(from another phone) and There was no LED notification light, just the notification sound.
Really hoping this is a software issues so I don't have to request a replacement device from Google...
Edit/Update: I'm pretty sure this is a software related issue and not hardware, as the LED is there and functions (with the help of 3rd party app, which we should not have to use) - So I'm trying to get a poll here of how many people have issues with the LED Notification light not working. Something to report to Google/Bug Report.

I believe the reason is that the software has not been updated to be completely compatible with 4.2+

Mine doesn't work either. I tried LightFlow and while it did light up the LED for some things, but not all that I selected, it was too faint to see, have to be in total darkness to see it.
The led isn't supposed to flash when the screen is on. Its been this way with every nexus.

But does your LED work when the screen is off? Mine and the OP's don't unless you use a third party app.

Is the Notification Light activated under display settings?
Mine worked, but not really well, I only saw it once when sending myself a test mail. Now I'm using Light Flow, which works nearly perfect (sometimes it doesn't seem to work until I enable the screen for a second and then disable it again)

Pulse notification light is checked
Im having the same problem. My led doesnt seem to come on no matter what. I know it worked out of the box because I have seen it light up with light flow but now im wondering if it quit completely and if I should do an RMA.
Mine has been working fine. It's white for TXT's, green for a lot of other things like FB and whatsapp
Yes the "Pulse notification light" option is checked.
I woke today with 6 New emails, 4 text messages, and 1 missed call... No LED Notification light was on, blinking or doing anything.
There not being a notification light is bugging the heck out me, 'cause I depend on them when my phone is on silent at work so I'm able to know there is a message waiting without having to stop what Im doing to turn the screen on every 5 min.

Try 'Blink'
Try the app 'Blink' very simple and its works for my N4
are you waiting 10 seconds before turning the phone on? Thats how long it takes before it blinks again. Whoever programmed the LED truly hates LED notifications because he made it blink so slowly and dimly that nobody could possibly notice it.

Yup, sat there watching the phone for a good 2-3 min after hearing the Notification sound for new email / text. (screen off)
Not sure if its suppose to or not, but I don't even get a LED Notification light when the phone is charging or charged (have to turn phone on to check if the phone is done charging.) Past devices I've had used the LED to notify of charging/charged.
It's normal that it doesn't glow when charging. I really can recommend Light Flow, then you can customise the notification as you wish (the free version is good, I bought the full version because I need steam support, but for normal use there is no need to buy it)

Ok, so my notification light wouldnt work no matter what. I uninstalled sms popup and now light flow works like it should. I guess the sms popup was somehow blocking light flow from allowing it to activate.
No notification light shows while charging, hence why when you charge the phone when it's off, it shows an animation on the screen. It should for calls, texts, emails, etc. though. Mine works. It even shows blue for facebook and white for texts/emails. Not sure why it wouldn't work. Have you gotten the 4.2.1 update?
Additionally, light flow states in its description that it doesn't work on most lg phones.
Ugh
I had this issue on my LG G2 where, randomly, the green LED status light would start flashing like there is a notification, when there is none. This is related to the Alarm. I posted this over in the G2 forums and I will post it here.
How to fix:
Clear all Notifications
Turn off Screen
(wait for notification light to blink) [confirm]
Turn on Screen
Go to Clock, disable Alarm
Double tap Status bar / Turn off Screen
(wait for notification light to NOT blink) [confirm] [fix]
Turn on screen and enable your Alarm.
The LED light should no longer blink for no reason.
Really kind of disappointed in the G4 software wise. On my G2, this issue and the lagging/FCing keyboard was huge issues that made me want to upgrade to the G4. Sad to say that even the newer software and newer hardware, these bugs are still present.
Thanks for this I'm sure it will help a few people out there.

The only issue I've had regading the blinking lights was if I swiped away a notification from the lock screen and locked it again, it would blink until I pulled down on notification bar. Same thing?

Nope. It randomly just starts flashing. I do turn off notifications from facebook and XDA via android system....
Happened twice tonight already since 5pm. During the day I am hammered with work emails, gmails, text, and hangouts so I dont notice it much. But a night when its flashing but there are no notifications, i have to disable the alarm amd reenable to fix it.
Same with my old G2.
Maybe the disabled notifications are turning on the LED notification but android is hiding the actual notifications. I will try reenabling them and disabling them via the apps.
Update:
Clearing those apps in the Sounds and Notification settings menu per app page, did turn the light off. So maybe that is the bug.
It started on my G2 when lollipop update came out. It is easier to disable app notifications this way as they come in by holding the noification and disabling it on the andoid side. I'll report back if thats it.
Big problem with led notification
This is the biggest problem in my g4, at least for me.
But i didn't understand what is the connection to alarm? I don't use alarm and still have this stupid bug : (
Well the alarm toggle is just a quick way to turn it off.
I do think the connection as been found with the Android notification hiding. I havent had the problem reoccur since I "allow all notifications" in the android settings... then turn off notifications within the apps directly.
It seems Androids "hide notifications" isn't doing a great job. It keeps the popups hidden, but still turns the lights on.
Turning off notifications within the Apps may also save battery since the App is still basically polling for updates on the network side, just being blocked from displaying them.
I am still testing but I think I nailed it.
Let's be clear.
My problem is not that the LED blinks without any notification.
My problem is that although i read my notification and now have no more any new notification - the led still blinking and i can't stop it.
Thats the same thing
*same issue i had
Scenerio:
Grab my phone and light is flashing. Check notifications. Clear them. Put phone down. See it blinking still. Pick it up. No notifications. No way to turn it off.
Update: Still getting random LED notification lights. Typically happens in the evening. Very weird
Me too
I even think to turn off the led light.
Anyway it's doesn't show the real notification.
Btw, is it problem with LG or with lollipop??
Tnx
I like using timely alarm from the play store. Never had that issue.
It has nothing to do with the alarm, it is just a quick way to fix the issue.
Question: Do you use stock SMS or 3rd party? I use Hello SMS.
Ok, maybe there is connection between the alarm and the led notification, because the bug happen to me usually after i use alarm in the morning (alarm clock extreme free from play store).
When i press i VIBRTATE and back to normal ringing it's usually stop the led blinking
I use stock alarm. But my alarm is only set Mon-Fri yet it happens randomly on sat and sun. It seems to clear itself after a while too...sometimes.
everyone who have this issue -
1. do u use what'sapp?
2. in which color your LED blinking (without notification)? it it your color alert you choose for what'sapp?
I dont use WhatsApp. My notification like is green. Only seems to do this at night but I get slammed with emails (corporate phone) and may not notice it during the day.
The only app I use that is not "common" that has notifications is Hello SMS. Otherwise I use messanger, facebook, xda, gmail, stock email, stock alarm.
Anyone use an alternative sms app with this problem?
It also appears to go away eventually after more texting/emails.
Usually (!) it's happen to me when i use whatsapp:
When i got picture in whatsapp or if i got both 2 messages in whatsapp - the led keeps blinking.
Sometimes it's happening to me when i use alarm clock free from Google play but now delete this.
What weird is that not of the users have this issues.
Tomorrow i gonna go to the store i bought the device and try to talk with them.
Maybe have the opportunity replace the the LED on the brighter?
Any people have this issue??
I know 4-5 people that have this issue.
PLEASE TEST
this isuue happen to me when i got picture in what'sapp (and in more cases).
can someone try to get a picture in what'sapp on his own device?
remember- after i got picture in whatsapp i turn on the device, saw the picture and turn off the device - but the led keeps blinking.
please if anyone can make a test on his own device- it will help me!!
tnx!
