I'have set the Settings/Device/LED/Notification to on.
Now when a SMS inbox, the led starts to blink in green and never stops no matter if I read the message or not.. I don't know how to handle this.
Unfortunately Lightflow has major issues with talkbac, so I don't use it.
Anybody?
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?
Sent from my G4 using your mom
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!
I want to use my 6P as a desk clock and want to turn off the LED completely during this time.
Tasker doesn't seem to work; Audio -> Notification light -> off doesn't seem to do anything, and I don't see another setting.
I played a little bit with Light Flow but don't see how to tell it to turn off the LED when my phone is either in Daydream or Dock Clock Plus; I don't see the apps listed. I tried setting LED to off with Timely but nothing happened.
Is it possible to do this at all with the Nexus 6P, without having to manually go into Settings and turn it off every morning and night?
I noticed this behavior after the Light Flow update that was supposed to address Samsung devices. In my Light Flow settings, the option to turn the screen on when a notification arrives is unchecked. Does anyone know how to make the screen stop turning on when new emails/texts arrive?
I'm on the Tmobile version.

"The screen switches on for some notification types
This is a workaround within Light Flow to stop the default blue LED from showing. The only way it seems to stop it from happening with certain apps is for the screen to be switched on and then off again. This clears the default blue LED and returns it to the correct color.
The notifications this happens for by default are the following:
Gmail
Messages
Hangouts
Missed Calls
S Planner
Email
There are other additional custom apps that raise notifications that can also cause the blue led. Light Flow should automatically detect these and switch the screen on for them as well.
If you don't want the screen to switch on and would prefer the default blue LED, go into Light Flow->Settings->Device Settings and Root->Samsung - Switch screen on - and switch it off.
We have raised this with Samsung and are waiting on a reply for them to why specific notification types work differently."
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?
