Calendar and task notifications no LED? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Am I missing a setting. I have everything checked under LED settings. I have calendar settings set to notifications and Popup. I set a timer and it goes off. Screen does not light up at all, LED will flash only while the reminder is going off but no LED light there after. Is this supposed to be this way? After issues with Wake locks I just did a reset and only installed Gsam monitor so far. Do I really need to install an app just to turn on the LED for some of this stuff? Thanks

My LED notification stopped working

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me , my LED notifications stopped working all of the sudden , I checked settings and I have them all checked but when i receive emails, text , etc they don't light up.
anyone know what app(s) control them? i might have disabled them by mistake , thanks!
Couple things to check. They only work with the screen off, and dim if in dark places. Did you install any third party apps to control the LED? Is Power save mode on? Does it still light up while charging.
I've never had issues with the LED on the S4 or Note II.

Go into the phone dialer and *#0*#
This will bring you into the testing menu.
Press the 'LED' button.
Press on the screen to switch from Red - Green - Blue while checking the LED on the top left corner.
This ensures that there is no hardware issues with your LED.
Once this is verified. You can go into app settings, for example whatsapp, that actually lets you pick different led colors for notifications.
-- Hit that 'Thank you' button if this was helpful.

Anyone else having issues getting LED to work with notifications?

Whenever I use Go SMS for my SMS and for Gmail I am not getting notifications via LED. It doesn't blink at all when my screen is off or on. I made sure they are enabled in the LG settings and also that notifications were active in both apps. Anyone else having this issue? I know the LED works because it activated when I enable the screen or when I turn the phone on or off.

If you have tried factory reseting your phone and you are still having this issue... you probobly just have a bad LED... if it works for your regular texting apps and what not the developer must have not made the application LED compatible with the G2 yet it is still a fairly new phone

Is there a way to turn off LED Notifications when the phone is in Do Not Disturb mode

I received a new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge the other week, and I've sufficiently customized Do Not Disturb to reflect the settings I used to have on my HTC M9, except for one caveat: the LED notification light still blinks even though the phone is in Do Not Disturb.
I really don't mind LED notifications most of the time, but I turn my phone in to Do Not Disturb Mode when I sleep, and if I receive an e-mail or some other notification, I am greeting with a bright, blinking notification light.
Do any of you know of a means of conditionally turning off LED notifications, an alternative Do Not Disturb app, or any other means besides just turning off the notification LED completely?

Disable screen wake on notification

Has anyone found a way to disable screen wake for notifications? Every time I receive a new email or hangout message(Those are the two I've noticed so far) my screen will turn on. Driving me crazy.

Just tested it, I don't have screen wake on notification, neither with power plugged in, nor on battery. Also tried with with always on display, it only adds notification icon, doesn't even change the brightness.
Go into "settings" and turn off all notifications
it's also annoying that the screen lights up when the battery reaches 100% while wirelessly charging,
it lights up the whole bedroom.
This was driving me crazy. Came across 'SMS Popup' app I used years ago and it works like a charm. No more screen lighting up when a message comes in. Disable notifications in stock messaging app and enable in SMS popup. Unselect 'screen on for popup'. I like the popup options better than default messaging app too, you can configure the buttons and even have one that reads the message out loud.
Edit: After further testing, results are very inconsistent. Works great sometimes and not at all others. I have uninstalled and it's back to square one.

Led indicator for email and messages

After updating to nougat, the led indicator was not working for the Samsung email app. After
experimenting a bit, I discovered it does work only if you enable vibration for notifications
(I am using Silent for the sound notification). You can turn the vibration off with the slider found under
sound and vibration intensity, notifications. This behaves differently that it did on marshmallow.
The sms messages app (google) does work with the led indicator without having vibrate on.
I don't have vibration set for any notifications and my LED light works for email and sms.
re led's

I expect a reset would fix mine. I have experimented extensively and seems I have to turn on vibration to get
led's to work.
I did find that leds work without vibration on if you use an audible sound on email. If sound is set to silent,
the the led's do not work without vibration on.
