I'm considering a V20. One question I have: does it have an LED, and support multiple colors?
I use Lightflow for my notifications. Different color and/or flash rate for notifications.
I'm aware of but not familiar with the second screen. I've read something about the notifications having a lifetime, ie will go away possibly before read. AS well, I think it would be easier to see notification lights and not have to even be necessarily close to the screen to read anything.
At any rate...does the V20 have the LED? Anyone using Lightflow?

no LED.

You might not catch the message preview in the second screen but it's always on and showing what notifications you have
Thanks for the feedback guys.
It's a bit of a change going from a device with LED's to one without, but I ended up installing LED Blinker Pro and am using the on-screen notifications option (for devices lacking the LED light) and it works pretty good. Definitely worth the couple of bucks for the pro version.

I used to have an app like that. Forgot about it. This might be a good solution. I guess the V20 is back on my evaluation list.

No problem. It's definitely a great device, even though it has a few shortcomings. Overall though, I'm very happy with it!

Hey all!
I know this an old thread and weird bumping it! ... But can anyone please check out this video of this guy applying a screen protector ... and his LG V20 has an LED Light? maybe some different version of phone?

You can see his lot of notifications and an LED light just next to his front Camera?

Sure looks like it... But pausing the video at the right spot (2:06) with the flashing light on and then zooming in, it looks like it's just the glare from his lighting. You can also see a similar glare on the camera and on the screen. You can also draw a straight line thru all the...
Uh, that's not an LED
That's the proximity sensor
If you aim any camera at it you're bound to see it flashing
We just don't cause our eyes don't see that spectrum of light

HOWEVER
Since someone recently figured out the second screen widgets and can put anything they want up there (even on stock!) I'm sure we can expect some sort of led emulation thingy soon.
I kinda like how v20 handles notifications instead of led

Same, I just wished the notifications stayed on the screen for longer than 2 seconds. Its not enough time to read which defeats the purpose entirely.

I was thinking since this phone has no LED notification light. There should be a mod to make the touch buttons light up for notifications. i have no clue how to develop for android. But thought i should post something, because i thought it was a cool idea.
It looks like the 4 buttons are individually lit so you could if the mod is possible, make different ones light up for different notifications.
Again just throwing out the idea.

I also like this idea.
After a good couple of days with the phone I realized I was used to my purple blinking G1 notification light for IMs.
It never dawned on me that notification leds were technically absent from the handset.
This is a brilliant idea!
I hope it gets done, it would be useful.

Then why are you asking if you have a broken LED? It wouldn't make a difference if it lights up or not if you thought the feature was useless. I personally like it. Comes in handy when I'm not in my room and leave my phone there and then come back to see the LED blinking.

Im having this issue, but mine hasn't worked since cyanogenmod a couple months back, on carbon or PA it didn't work. Now on 4.3 and doesn't work. Though on Carbon the charging notification still worked when plugged in but lightflow or other apps didn't.

The feature is really useful if you put in a bright led, one that a normal human can see when there is even the slightest hint of light. Not one that only works in total darkness.

Hey guys...one of the most used and important features in any Android phone for me is the RGB notification LED.
The S4 and Nexus 5 had great ones...I'm a little worried about the very dull one on the S5.
I cannot get Light Flow to work at all...and while I know the S5 is really new...just a little troublesome...

It does have an RGB flash, tested colors with LED Tester app, but haven't set up Lightflow, which is often rather complicated. You may restart your phone after setting it up and see if it works properly.
I guess it's duller because the plastic over it is thicker due to the IP certification (?), now why isn't there a cutout for it like for the sensors is beyond me.
I find it bright enough, far better than whats on HTC phones. I can also see it from a 45 degree angle, the one on the s4 was better still but not complaining as it still does its job

Led tester works perfectly for me in all colours. Be warned if you get an incoming notification whilst testing the colours, the light will revert to the notification colour until you click on the notification and reset the led.
Hope this makes sense lol

All off the LightFlow app developer's websites/servers are down. Could you please give me the run-down on what you did to fix it? (I'm having the exact same problem).
I agree the LED is VERY dull, my sister just got the LG g2 and the led on it is beautiful very bright and vivid colours.
Does it have notification light and if so where is it located?
I'm looking to buy moto z or note 7, not entirely sure which one to buy?
Z owners try this pleae
Turn phone off and insert charger.
G4 plus has a hidden notification light, next to the fingerprint reader is only visible trying the above method.
No it has the way cooler Ambient Display thing that Motorola's been doing for a few years

Thanks I do like the ambient display but I think double it up with notification light would be much more useful. The only issue with ambient display is the screen goes dark after a short period and Ambient Display kicks in again when you pick up your Phone. Notification light is constantly flashing so you're aware whenever you look at your phone without lifting or touching it.

Well, you could wave your hand over it, but yeah, you need to actively check it.
Get a smartwatch, then you'll know when the notifications come in
I posted this question to flossy Carter on youtube who confirmed it does have notification light. He's normally very reliable can anyone else confirm this?
I swear I remember seeing a white LED on this phone near the speaker or something when I first got it and I never saw it again after the first day...I think it has a notification light..

Yes you did see one, it is where the speaker is at. I have only seen it when the phone is powered off and I plug in the charger.

Ok thanks for confirming. I've preordered it from Amazon uk expected to be delivered tomorrow, will know exactly what it's like. Funny thing it's already out of stock Amazon and not sure if they will restock which is slightly strange and concerning.

Its sounding like there is an auxillary light, but it cannot be used as a notification light (as of yet, perhaps we can access it if we get root like with the nexus 6)

You get a bid amoled screen with AOD that works as a improved led. Something like that. Look at other phones with the same design and You Will see

A notification LED would be nice! I hope it has one. Never had a device with AOD but I'd prefer an LED myself.
No way aod is as bright and visible as led. I'm going to use their slogan on them and not buy this device.
"Never Settle"
Well I guess you can't expect to call batman using your screen
AFAIK there were rumors that said the LED is the bottom like on the Nexus 5 back then. I can't seem to find the proximity or ambient light sensor on the images so it could be. On the other hand I would say they have removed it in favor of the smaller notch. If I need to upgrade from my OnePlus 5T I'll probably have to choose between the OnePlus 6 and 6T. So either bigger notch with LED and headphone jack or smaller notch without them. Makes me not wanna buy a new phone...
Oneplus are making it very difficult to like this new phone.
They could make small part/dot on top of the display, use few pixels to act as a LED when screen is off. It's OLED so it shouldn't be a problem.?
So does it have led notifications?

Guys does it for sure have AOD or is it lift up display ambient display like the OnePlus 6? Anyone has a link that lists or confirms AOD? I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and no one talks about AOD which is VERY important if it doesn't have a notification LED.

No LED, and no AOD. Stupid as hell. I've been so hype for this release, and now no headphone jack, no led, and no AOD to replace it? Wtf is that. Guess I'll never settle for a OP again, unfortunately.
There's got to be some way to have the thing make some sort of blinking notification in the absence of the LED.
I'm fairly primed to buy one of these (coming from a 3T, to be used on ATT in the USA). Lack of LED is a big hit though. I gloat to my iPhone friends how I know which email account just had a new message via the LED being a specific color (I use Light Flow).

I was SERIOUSLY considering switching from my 6 to the 6T, but no notification LED and no AOD is a no go for me! How are you supposed to tell you have a notification if your phone is sitting on a table?
Yep. I don't want to root this phone and if it doesn't at LEAST include Always On Display, then it's a no go.
