Let's colors with multiple notifications

Hi all, I want to know what color is displayed by the led if there are two or more different notifications. For instance, if I have a purple notification for what's app, a green notification for telegram and a blue notification for calls, if I get all of those 3 notifications, what color should be displayed? In my case I noticed that is displayed the color of the most recent notification, but I don't know if it's the default beavhiour. I don't use any led management app.

Whatever has the highest priority, so sms or missed call notifications will be over snapchat. I think you can change priority in notification settings if you swipe down the panel

It will show the latest app notification color. You can use an app and change it up if you'd like

Yes, there are many color created by "mixing" the primary RGB colors. If you use third party apps like what's app, telegram, ecc you can choose what color do you want for every notifications. If you choose purple, for instance, you will see the led "divided" into two colors, blu and red, which are the colors that mixed together create the purple.

So it is only configured in these kind of apps settings?

Yes, or you can use app like "light flow" which is able to modify even the default led color for calls, sms, etc (the default color is blue).

Thanks mate, that's really useful. One last question - does the app affect is high to the battery?

I don't know since until now I never used it, but we are speaking about a led light, so I think that is affect on battery is almost invisible.
About the led, I noticed that sometimes it doesn't blink even if I have notifications. With the first notification no problem, but if I get other messages from the same app, the blink disappear. What could it be?

@meyerweb spent a lot of time figuring out the correct Light Flow settings for the S7, and his directions on another site helped me get it working. If you see this will you share them here?
Here they are:

Lightflow Legacy seems to be working fine for me now, with AOD on or off, after following all the steps recommended on their web site. If you just install it, and expect it to work, you'll be disappointed. Here's what I did, IIRC:
1. Download and install the regular paid version. Don't bother to set up any notifications.
2. Download and install Legacy. It will alert you that you need to disable, but not delete, the full version, and offer to disable it for you. Accept that option. This is NOT the same as disabling an app in the application manager. Don't disable it in the application manager.
3. At some point, it will prompt to to enable the Samsung workaround. Choose that setting.
4. Do NOT turn on administrators
5. In device Settings, go to Accessibility, scroll all the way down, and make sure Light Flow Legacy in On.
6. Back to Lightflow Legacy: In General settings, check (or make sure these are checked): Enable Light Flow, Show LED in Priority Mode, Accessibility check.
7. Go to Lightflow Legacy and set up your notifications. For some apps you'll need to check the Switch screen on and Wake screen when in pocket options to get notifications to work. To avoid the issue with screen locking and needing to use a PIN to unlock the screen, choose "Phone screen default length" as the value for Screen on length. The drawback to this is that your screen will light up for about 5 seconds when you get a notification for these apps, but it's the only way to avoid the pin locking problem.
7b. Apps I know require these settings include Gmail, E-mail (Samsung's app),
8. For the built-in SMS app, uncheck the boxes for Monitor SMS Conversations, and check the options for Monitor notification bar.
9. Finally, go back to device Settings, choose Notifications, click Advanced, scroll down to Light Flow (not Legacy), and and turn off notifications. Make sure notifications are ON for Light Flow Legacy.
10. In device Settings / Display, make sure LED indicator is set ON.
With these settings, everything seems to be working for me, with the only drawback being the screen turns on for notifications from Gmail and Email. If you set up notifications for an app and just get the regular Blue LED instead of what you've programmed, follow step 7 for that app.

One should show up as Lightflow, and one as Lightflow legacy.
I would suggest uninstalling both, then starting over by installing Lightflow, then installing Lightflow Legacy. When you install the legacy version, it should ask you to disable the regular version. Let it do that.

No, I have the same name. Anyway I tried again and now I see only one app, but in the Accessibility menu I see two app so I don't know what is the correct one, besides I get two notifications for every app and I tried to use what's app and light flow for the other notifications, but the led doesn't blink when I get a what's app message. I had to unistall it until I get how to fix this. Some help would be appreciated.

Android 7.0: Gmail notifications

Android 7.0 introduces Gmail notifications on the AOD (and many other notifications missing in Android 6.0.1), which is really great, but I am noticing an issue.
When I've received a Gmail notification and have clicked on (either) the message icon on the AOD, clicked on the notification on the notification shade or opened it directly in the Gmail app, the notification icon on the AOD and on the notification bar isn't removed immediately afterwards (as expected). In Android 6.0.1, the notification icon on the notification bar was removed instantaneously.
Can anyone replicate this issue?
On Android 6 notifications icon of Gmail persist even if you read or delete email, in nougat in my case icon disappeared right after opening email.. Double click on aod notification open application - that's feature, no issue

I disagree, or I'm seeing different functionality on my device. On Android 6(.0.1), the notification icon disappeared right after opening email (in Gmail app). On Android 7(.0), it does not.
That's strange, on my note 5 with Android 6 icon won't disappear from panel unless I remove it, in nougat, when open email, icon is gone... Strange

This forum/thread discusses subjects related to Galaxy S7 Edge, not the Note 5. Perhaps you should consider expressing your thoughts about the Note 5 in the Note 5 forum...?

Help! How to remove the white software update box under settings on SM-G928P?

How to remove or clear the white software update box under settings above quick settings on S6 Edge Plus g928p? You can x it off but when you close settings app completely off and open it back up, it shows up again. There is also a 1 showing beside system update option under settings app too. It never goes away and I have deleted the update in the fota folder. The white box annoys me more than the 1 does. How can I clear it? S6 Edge Plus g928p 6.0.1 Rooted Thanks

Not to be a D, but wouldn't this question be better posted on the S7 / S7 Edge forum?
I was wondering the same.
Edge Notifications Not on VZW Variant?
Is this feature not on the VZW variant? When I first set up my S8+ it was there then completely disappeared. The button is not in the notification shade. I have reordered the buttons and the grid and cannot find it. Also it is not in the settings and or developer options. (I know it wouldn't be in developer options but checked anyway). I run Nova Launcher but I have switched back to stock launcher and still nothing. Went as far as factory reset and still nothing. Any thoughts?
Ask on the s7 thread....

The edge notifications (pill-shaped) are found in Settings -> Edge Screen -> Edge Lighting.
You can choose when they appear (Screen on, off, or both) and select all or specific apps to use the Edge notifications.

S8 Default Edge Mask, Round corner notification help please!

Hello Guys!
I am just wondering that when I bought my S8, i got the Rounded corner messages notification from the top (as like exactly the Edge Mask App is doing), but i know its the default app or function/feature of S8 built in, I reset the phone for some purpose and now that notification is no more there.
So can anyone help me to enable that feature again? I am using S8 F Global model with Oreo 8 official running!
I will appreciate your input in this regards.
Many thanks and kind regards.
Waqar
Ahh never mind got it, its the screen edge lightning feature, i just enabled it and its working fine now, so if anyone else do need it you just need to enable edge screen -> edge Lightning feature on and that's it!
