[Q] Trackball LED fails to blink for notifications - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Last night my tackball was notifying me perfectly fine.
I charged my phone over night, woke up this morning and responded to a text message (the light was blinking) and went back to sleep.
I woke up two hours later to a text and email and the trackball was not blinking and no longer does for any notifications (text, email, kik).
I've gone into settings and disabled/reenabled "Pulse notification light" and reset the phone to no avail. The LED physically works because it flashes white upon boot up, but for some reason it's not lighting up for notifications.
Running stock 2.3.3 unrooted
Solutions?

after a restore the notification light blinks repeatedly only if the screen is off. if you get the notification while the screen is on it doesn't go off at all.
once you turn the screen on (if you just flash it on and off), even if you don't unlock the phone and pull down the notification screen, the notification blinking stops completely.
pulse notification light is still checked...

Red LED notification

I'm trying to figure out why red led keeps blinking even I dismiss reminder. If I understand correctly alert led should stop blinking when I take care of whatever made it.
I've noticed that when I delete text message while ring tone is active it does not stop red led but when I wait for end of it- everything is fine.
I don't want to set short period of blinking in alert settings.
i used have problem like that, but after i install ROM newest ROM the problem gone. :wink:
Happens to me from time to time, seems to happen when I just dismiss a reminder the 'wrong' way (just hitting the hang up button instead of hitting Dismiss... although even when I do that it still does it sometimes). Its behaviour seems to be affected if I also have an unread text message in my inbox, or if I'm in a call when the reminder pops up... There's x amount of circumstances where it just doesn't go away (and it pisses me off no end, I don't like red blinking lights as they're invariably bringers of bad news! )

[Q] led notifications on GingerDX

Do LED-Notifications work for you in GingerDX?
In my phone they don't seem to work?!
They work for me
it seems they got messed up somehow? if i set them in cyanogensettings they at least work once (means they blink 1 time)?
just did a full wipe and the problem persists ...
e.g.: missed call: screen goes off, led blinks once green and then stops blinking, but is supposed to blink red?
i have same problem, LED just blinks at once..
Had no problem with any LED notifications to date on any rom, just wish I could change the the charging light. >_<

You can set how much it blinks by changing that specific setting in blink rate.
by changing the blink rate it just changes the "speed" of blinking?
Ginger DX v21 LED Notifications don't work
Edit: Never Mind! Night-time notification toggle was on!
I installed Ginger DX with a full wipe. The LED notifications don't work, although the LED lights up while charging.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Green LED notification

Is anybody else getting a random Green notification LED blinking. I don't have any notifications from Twitter or Facebook and it keeps lighting.
Update: Never mind, it was a notification for a game. -_-
I have the same problem or similar.
Help me please, my Samsung galaxy s6 (T-Mobile ) the led indicador always is on, never turn off, I go to setting and turned off the led indicador . And however I blocked the screen it keep on. Even if the phone is off******

No LED light flashing for notifications

I got my R1 HD recently. After I set up everything I noticed that when the screen is off, no matter whether I received an email, a sms or a missed call, the LED light just didn't flash. The phone did notify by sound and I can see items in status bar when I turn on the screen.
I looked at everything in the Settings, but couldn't find anything wrong. I called R1 representative and he said he never heard such issue before.
Then I ordered a replacement from Amazon and it arrived today. You know what, same thing happened! No LED light for notification. Just sound notification.
The only time I know there is an LED light is when I charge the phone (red) or when it's fully charged (green).
Has anyone seen such issue before? I greatly appreciate the help!
The LED can really only display red and green as when they are both on the red greatly overpowers the green so the color combination is not detectable. Lightflow can control which apps have access to the LED and which color to display. The LEDs are either on or off - no brightness levels. I have also not been able to get the LED to blink on notifications and suspect that this is also a hardware limitation of the phone. I've been quite disappointed in the LED notification capabilities. There are a couple of other threads about the notification light in the Blu forums here if you search
Thanks for the reply! I did try Lightflow, but it didn't help. In test mode or real mode, what I got was just a status bar notification, no LED.

I did have to change some settings for it to work with the Blu phone.
These are the settings I am using that allow apps to turn on the LED:
Under General settings, the following are checked:
Enable Light Flow
Show LED in priority mode
Device Admin
Enable Clear all
Accessibility check
Version upgrade reminder
Under Device settings and root, the following are checked:
Direct mode
Root mode
Run every command as root
Show LED with screen on
Nexus 5 force LED reset
I also have light flow enabled under settings->accessability and lightflow has root permission in supersu.
Oh so I have to root the phone? I just called Blu customer service, and they told me I need to do a factory reset..
Try it and let us know what happens, please. Some phones require root and others don't. I reflashed and rooted and xposed mine before I did anything else so I don't know if it works without root or not.
Solved! Did a hard reset (not factory data reset thru Settings) by pressing power button and volume up together to enter the recovery menu. I cannot believe Amazon/Blu missed such an important step that the customer has to do it by themselves..
Same here bit in a Blu vivo 5R in this case.
So... I need to execute a Factory Reset? And then appears the option for LED notification And works.
Hi ! I did buy a BLU VIVO XL2. No LED activity for notifications. I have the options for LED behavior (Settings/Advanced Settings/Under Hardware title, LED indicator, Notification Reminder ON but green LED never flashes when expected. Factory Reset tried: I used Volume Up & Power Button to get recovery menu. There, I took a backup (SD storage, no compression, several chunks of data). After that, I selected Factory Reset. When rebooted, Google did his automatic restore of phone. After that, I tried Restore from Recovery menu, but a msg informed backup was corrupted, so, I did get a full Factory Reset status, with my phone memory user data lost. NO LED Notifications working after all these actions !!!!! . LED is alive, when reporting Power status, so it is not HW damaged. I will keep fighting to get my LED notification activity working... Regards, Norberto !!!
Try the free version of LightFlow from the play store. It will allow you to test and turn individual notifications on or off. The light can on display red and green colors and the red is very much brighter than the green. Mine turns flashing red when I miss a phone call on the Blu R1 HD>
Hi !! Thnx yaconsult. I did try free & legacy, unsuccessfully. Have a good day !!
I guess the Vivo works differently, then. The notification light works ok on my R1. If I miss a call, I get a blinking red light.

No green LED text notification after 8.0 update

I took the latest update yesterday, and now when I get a text message, the LED notification is blue. Before the update, the LED was green for texts, and blue for email. Is there any way to get it back to green? I'm using Verizon Messages btw.

I have the same thing happening. I am using Message+ on Verizon and have a Galaxy S8. Green is much more visible to me. The setting for the LED in the app is Green. LED Indicator in Display settings is on. Have rebooted. Have cleared the cache and data for the messaging app. The blue LED used to display for my Any.do notifications, and no LED displays for those since the update. The LEDs display perfectly for charging (red while charging, green when charging is complete), so clearly green still works somewhere. I would really like this fixed.
