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

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).

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.

I'm not sure if this is an LG or Nougat thing, but it's seriously annoying. Whenever I use the phone and I get a notification of any kind, it pops down from the status bar (why can't it just go straight to the 2nd screen???) and persists for a few seconds unless I action it or dismiss.
Is there a setting within notifications or apps themselves to make them go straight to the 2nd screen?

Not silencing anything, I just adjusted the Textra to not show the floating reply.
I don't use Whatsapp so can't speak to any settings in there and my Snapchat I have set to Vibrate only(turned wake screen off). Don't get a lot of Snapchat chats so never noticed if its a pop up notification or not

Weird - I found out that "Silencing" notifications is the only way to get them to not pop up... but then I don't get a vibrate.
System UI is a "hidden" feature of Nougat that LG decided to axe, which is extremely frustrating because it has the EXACT functionality someone needs to have full control over their notifications.

Yeah I want that system UI because in it you can do percent in battery notification so it's not next to the battery
It actually started with Marshmallow and was pretty popular due to the simple tweaks it can do that everyone wants. Unfortunately it seems to be more of a carrier issue with disabling it. Regardless, disabling peeking should be a basic option in settings from day 1. Not a super hidden feature in Andriod M and a above with no guarantee of staying. Textra is nice enough to have its own setting. Why other apps do not is baffling.
Someone finding a way to get to the System UI tuner settings would be amazing. As it is now there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off ONLY peeking/heads up notifications that I have been able to find. Maybe HeadsOff will be compatible with N before long.
I can't reply to any notifications in my notifications panel. How do I turn it back on?
Why the hells samsung removed System UI tuner? Or it's me that cannot find this controls outside?
Now we cannot control the notifications properly... with the levels. Whatsapp for ex gives annoying previews over each and every message and now only exist 2 options on notifications or put it silently (no preview + no sound) or preview+ sound... what a stupid move.
Also each notification wakes the screen... any way to turn this off?
If this is true, I'll happily skip the nougat update

Yeah but you see. Like thread starter mentioned. If enable show silently ur apps will completely silence. No notification sound and vibrate. He just want to disable the heads up notification only. Not the sound. Marshmallow seeting is better because they separate it.
ive been having issues with this as well ever since i bought my S7 Edge, coming from Nexus 6 i really miss the advance notification control inside AOSP. anyway to enable it in s7 nougat roms?
thanks
Hi all, hoping you can help.
On my Galaxy S8 I've noticed a cool notification feature where when my screen is off and I receive a notification from a stock app (text message, calendar) the heads up notification bubble appears at the top of the screen as usual but the rest of the screen remains off. This is really good because it means I don't have to have AOD enabled which drains battery but I can get a quick glance at what the notification is. My question is what is this feature called and why does it only seem to work for stock apps? I'd love my Whatsapp, Twitter and Gmail notifications to show up this way as well but despite digging through all the notification settings I can't figure it out.
I have a feeling there is some feature which just isn't supported by non-stock apps but would be useful to know what that is...
TIA!
Settings > edge screen > edge lighting > manage notifications
From there you can enable the apps you want.

Well, I've just been doing some testing and with Whatsapp at least, I've managed to get this to work by enabling the 'Popup notification setting' in the Notifications settings menu and setting it to 'Only when screen is off'. There is a trade off though which is that you get an actual Whatsapp popup notification (not heads up) when you turn the screen on and I personally find that annoying but if it means I get the heads up notifications when my screen is off, then I might live with it.
Twitter and Gmail I'm still not sure about...

But that's edge lighting - that already works and is just a light based notification. I'm talking about a heads up notification bubble appearing when the screen is off so you can see who it's from and a preview of the message.
It's the same thing. Turn off edge lighting and you won't get those bubbles. It does require some tinkering though for most apps. Textra for example I had to change how it displayed notifications in order to get the bubble you are speaking of to work.

Also on the list under manage apps, there is a line which is bolder than the others. I think apps above that line are "optimized" to work with this notification feature.

problem with this setting is it keeps the popup on screen instead of a normal notification like Viber and default Messaging app

There is a miscommunication between the WhatsApp settings and edge lighting (system settings).
Pls help how to fix
Workaround
I found a workaround, which works on my galaxy s9. Download the app 'light manager'. Open the app and add WhatsApp in the application window. Then go to advanced settings -> wake screen and choose WhatsApp.
In the settings of WhatsApp go to notifications and set the 'popup notification' to 'no popup'.
Then go to the settings of your phone -> Display -> Edge screen -> Edge lighting -> Manage notifications, and check on Light manager.
You can change the color in Settings -> Display -> Edge screen -> Edge lighting -> Edge lighting style -> color -> app color, and change the color of Light manager.
Now the edge will light up when you get a WhatsApp message.
