So my notification light isn't working for emails and Google voice. It works for texts and other things. I tried light flow and that didn't work at all, even after unchecking everything in settings (I would buy the full version to get voice support if I could get the rest to work, test mode doesn't even work). I have searched around and can't find out anything.
I use Light Manager. You have to uncheck the system email led notification. Settings Display->Click on the Words "Notification light" brings up all the system Led options. . Any other Apps , disable their Led notifications individually. Gmail is an issue on this phone. The Gmail App doesn't have a separate Led option. It's either notification on or off. If you leave on Light Manager can't change the color on this phone like it does on a Samsung. If you turn notifications off, you get your custom color, but not status bar notification. Light Manager continues to flash your custom color until you open Gmail. That might work if you don't mind missing Status bar previews . As far as Light Flow, I haven't found a way to make it work on this phone. The developer says people are having some success, but didn't know how. There's a section about LG Led's not playing so well in the app description.
Yeah i am less worried about custom colors, at least want the notification light to come on, which it doesn't for either Google voice or Gmail, and that's with the stock notification or light flow.
I have read tons of people saying light flow works perfect on this phone. I'll try light manager then, see if that works.
It's driving me insane that everytime I turn my screen on to lockscreen, my light flow notification titls, shows for half a second and then disappears. If I block the notifications from app settings, lightflow stops working.
Anyone having same issue?
Lightflow is working fine for me. I haven't noticed that.

The only time I have seen this is with a small number of apps that must have a different way they implement LED notifications. In those apps, I have to disable the LED notification from within that specific app. When I say a small number, for me it is like... 2 of 80 apps or something.
This is my lightflow notification problem..

This happened with their latest app update to help with Marshmallow improvements. Developer is aware and said they should be doing something to fix it....but it's been a week already.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you're talking about the persistent notification. Yes, it is something he has had to do in order to support future development on Android 6.0. I believe he is working on a means to give people access to the prior version if they want it, but it would be feature frozen (i.e. no more new features).
Check out this on his site: http://www.reactle.com/2015/10/changes-for-android-6-marshmallow.html
And you can star the issue here to bring attention to it with Google: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=190997
I don't know if it's just me, but I was previously using the app midnight to dim my phone at night & had no issues.
It appears with Oreo, that the status bar & when you pull down the status bar don't change with the screen.
So while the screen is only set to say 30%, the status bar & nav bar are full brightness. Again, I don't recall this issue
with 7.1.2
Is anyone successfully using an app that actually dims everything with Oreo, & if not, is this an issue with Oreo?
Thanks!
I am having this issue with my device and it's driving me crazy. I did not have the issue with Nougat, but in Oreo none of the apps work on the status bar and notification shade. This is exacerbated by the fact that the notification shade is blinding white now instead of dark gray so it lights up the room when I pull it down at night in the dark.
I normally use the app "Darker Pro," but I tried about five different screen dimming apps last night and they all have the exact same issue so I think it's an Oreo thing. I also used to use the app Snap Swipe Drawer and noticed that I can no longer activate it from swiping on the notification bar. I think Oreo is not allowing anything to draw over the status bar or notification shade area.

Exactly! The notification bar is extremely white which just furthers the issue. The white was a poor choice in my opinion and is hideous.
I've tried 2 other apps & no luck. Plus many don't get updated.
I emailed the developer of Midnight & he said it would be a priority, so that's good.
I'm glad someone else uses these apps. I was beginning to think everyone enjoyed being blinded by their phone at night.

I don't understand the issue... Just dim your display normally using the brightness slider. Everything gets dim that way.
If you want a working night mode too (blue light filter), flash the o pixel mod in the themes section and use that too.
Or even f.lux would work if you have root.
This is a complete non-issue because dimming the display works 100% without any 3rd party apps.

The issue isn't the fact you can't dim the display as we all know you can move the slider.
It's night mode apps only dimming the screen itself & not the notification bar. You may have your brightness in night mode to really dark, but pull down the status bar & it's 100% bright. This issue didn't exist on 7.1.2 with these apps. I was specifically using Midnight with 0 issues.
I'm not rooted, so no flashing. Also there was no need before O as these issues didn't exist.

Well it sounds like the app needs to be updated to work on Oreo properly.
One of the reasons there are dev preview is for developers to test their apps on the new Android update and it would seem that this dev didn't do that.
Can I ask why you don't just use the brightness slider? It's one of the simplest things to do if you want your screen dim.

Because it isn't dark enough at night and early in the morning when I like my eyes to adjust. If it went darker as part of stock Android, it would eliminate the need for these apps.
Personal preference. My wife can't see crap & has to have the brightness on her phone up even at night. Drives me nuts & blinds the crap out of me.

Okay gotcha, makes sense.
Hopefully they update that app soon then.
If I come across any other app similar to that, I'll mention it in this thread then
I've been using f.lux and that seems to be working OK with Oreo.
I used Twilight Pro when I was on DP4 and while it worked, it did have the persistent blinding overlay notification. You can manually mute that for 2 hours tops at a time or there is a way to keep it muted with Tasker. https://www.xda-developers.com/hide-app-running-background-notification-android-oreo/
Does your app provide administration rights capability? There would be an entry in device administrators for your app [name]. For example, I use Bluelight Filter and if I want to use full dimming capability, including overlay, I have to give admin permission. The trade off being that some Android security lock features are disabled - such as locking Android pre-boot with a password.
It's been posted in another topic, but as far as "muting" the messages about background notifications in Oreo, this is a new Android security feature with no workaround yet and you can only set it to a low priority for notifications. At least that way it will minimize to one line when there are other app notifications, and remove the icon from the status bar.

Where are you finding device admin for bluelight? I had it installed, didn't work, but reinstalled trying to find what you stated, but no luck.
I've got a device admin apps settings, but it isn't listed.

Sorry it's not device admin, it's accessibility. My bad. This is the permission that's required for notifications and screen overlay being dimmed. It's a trade-off. So far I don't use it because I prefer enhanced encryption.
What I loved about my screen dimming app is that it did so automatically at set times and precisely to the right level. The brightness is now at daytime strength the first time I turn it on at bedtime and too dark when i first need it in the morning, not to mention fiddling with the slider to get it just right. Is there another way to schedule the brightness levels?
Still no one with luck with this?
Once it's a cross-device problem, why not move the thread to a general forum?

Did you find a fix for your problem?
Personally I am rooted ONLY for the night mode included on the pixel 2 mod. Furthermore, I was looking for a way to only have the night mode w/o any other pixel feature but couldn't find a way.
I know you said you aren't rooted and I can guess your unwillingness to do so, but honestly that's the best way to get a properly working night mode.
Take into acct. that I've tried a lot of apps and none were satisfactory. As I said before, this is the only reason I'm rooted.
Anyways, I hope you found a way to get a night mode working on your phone.
Any success? Really would like 100% overlay coverage including notifications, everything.
If you web browse at night you can invert the screen colours, which helps a bit until you hit a 'dark' image
I use Darker Pro and yes I can confirm that the status bar and notifications/qs panel does not get darker on oreo.
I used the same app all the time with nougat and it worked flawless.
It is a android oreo issue. Google has disabled apps to draw over system ui elements in oreo, that's what the darker pro playstore description says. I initially thought we need root to enable it. I've been trying to search for root apps that would let me do it but no luck there either.
Alright. I got a bit of a Work around. You will need root. Install Kernel Adiutor and go to Screen option. Now lower the Red, Green and Blue values equally. The screen will get dimmer.
I know this isn't as convenient as using a simple app, but atleast it's something.
Oh, and if you're running a lineage OS based rom you won't need root or the kernel Adiutor. Just go to Live Display in setting and you'll find the same Red, Green and Blue adjustment there.
This one works over both bars, but needs xposed:

They should show up by default but I experience some bugs too I guess Ambient Display is still fresh and needs improvements.
I Google it and found out that same problem have all MIUI smartphones....It is almost one year since ambient display option appeared in MIUI so I don't think they have in mind to change anything about this problem. Many people complain about this but so far nothing is done. Maybe there is some fix but I couldn't find it...
In MIUI 11.0.4.0 9T global android 10 viber notifications on ambient display still doesn't exist. Led notification for viber is on "half power", circle is almost invisible! Led notification for other apps works normal.
Xiaomi hates VIBER or what?!
What if it's the other way round?
From what I've gathered it's the app developer that needs to add AOD functionality in the app.
Hey anybody know how to turn on the breathing led notification like we normally get on any other android phones in case i miss a call or anything i can see the details on my lock screen but no breathing led notification for the same!

There's no led notification on nothing phone, only glyph, someone is working on an App to modify how it's working but it requires Root at the moment :/
I just remembered about the Glimpse Notifications app on the Play Store, it has recurring notifications and a self test section just did it a test quickly then and it seemed to work (glyph lit up, vibration as normal) so that might be a solution in the meantime
