There used to be an option to turn off the notification LED on blocking mode so that it didn't light up your room while sleeping. It appears that is no longer an option. Does anyone know of a solution to be able to disable the LED for specific hours each day? I tried Lightflow, but had some issues with it and there was not an option to set specific hours. Thanks in advance!
I don't think the LED is that bright to "light up your room".....
If it bugs you that much, turn it face down, or put something over the LED to cover just that one part of the phone.

LOL! Easy fix. Cut her eyes out. Then ask her which did she like more, the ability to see or not? I'm sure she will say sight, but then you give her the bad news that you can't fix her blindness due to you not being a doctor (unless you are, then operate).
To fix your problem though, try Settings > Accessibility > Notification Reminder > LED Indicator
Hope that works.
Have you tried "do not disturb" in your toggle buttons? Says it'll silence calls & notifications, not sure if it will disable led. Ultra power saving mode might also disable led.

I have tried do not disturb and it does not turn off the LED for me. I have not tried ultra power saving mode. I am, however, hoping for something more automated based on time. Thanks for the response.

Wow...that escalated quickly :-0
Thank you for the recommendation, but I actually want the LED on during the day and just off at night. It was a setting on my previous Samsung devices...just appears to be another thing removed, for some reason

Guess the Do Not Disturb option is your only bet. Hopefully it works.
try sleep for android...it has a feature of Do not disturb whenever you have sleep tracking on. So when you sleep just set that as an alarm and it will put the phone to do not disturb
I know you said you had problems with lightflow app but have you tried the light manager app? Works really well for me since they did the fix for 5.1.1.

Yes this would be nice. Do not disturb i would think would turn led off but it doesnt. If u find a solution please post it. Not like its really important to me but it would be nice.

Hello there,
is there any way to disable the charging LED ?
to each his own, but im curious, why? i just got my phone, but i love the charge lights
Very odd request. How will you know your phone is fully charged if you disable the light?
i bet it's just a registry edit, i'll look around and fiddle around with stuff.

You can also see this in the main display, when the charging icon changes to the battery symbol.
I want to follow up with a related question;
Is there any software to tweak how the LED is blinking? In other words, change the direction and speed. I like the spinning motions (recived SMS) better than the up and down (charging) direction.

In that case, you may want to have the phone and a few other lights turned on while you sleep if the night nerves you. That way you'll have some comfort while sleeping.
If I've misunderstood you, and you mean the light bothers you, then I would also suggest not sleeping with the phone resting against your face, with the light flashing in an eye.
Ok by now you know I'm just kidding, so no offense, but couldn't you just put your phone face down on the table, or even on a cloth if you're worried about it scratching?

Lol, I didn't get far enough down the thread in time to see your response. GMTA! (great minds think alike!)
I used the kaiser notification setup program to disable all my leds
Try this
My girlfriend has the same "issue" about small blinking lights in the bedroom.
She has a HTC P4350 (Herald) and i installed nueLED for her to disable the charging LED and also the signalling LED.
I don't know if the app works on a TP
I does require .NET CF 3.5

I like the way the phone seems to breathe (with the light) while charging. I think it'd be cool to be able to have it beam different colors. Sigh...remembering that bright, shiney new v600 so long ago...
there 8 leds in it on the front. would be nice to be able to control this somehow. there is probably a separate dll for this. like the led of the camera which is hidden in the cameradriver.
A LED control app would be a awesome gadget. Because nueLED is very limited in functions.
Has anyone found an app that gives us better control over the hardware LED?
I'd like to have the notification light periodically blink when there's an SMS message or missed call, (and maybe some of the other important notifications), and the default settings offer so little control as to be useless. <rant> Seriously, why would I want a LED to tell me if the phone is charging, I can see damned well that it's charging, there's a cord attached! </rant>
There's the LEDBlinker app, which has all the options i'd want, but when I put it into test mode, it doesn't blink the leds.
Has anyone else tried to do this? Has anyone had any success? It's a cool hardware feature, that I think i'd really use - but it's hobbled by the crap configuration options Samsung gave us.
Thanks

Samsung prevents the LED notifications from working unless the screen is turned off. I'm using Light Manager (the dev participates on this forum), and so far it works fine in "alternate" mode. When you test the LED settings, a pop-up tells you to turn off the screen, and only then will the test work (and it does).

Thanks - turns out I'd turned the LED off in settings (along with the options to use the LED to show charging status). /facepalm
Hi all,
Just got myself a Note 5 a week ago. First Samsung device I've owned.
Can anyone tell me am I missing something, or is there no way to have the LED Notifications toggle on and off with Do Not Disturb mode?
Having the option to turn off the LED is great, but It seems completely stupid to not be able to switch off the LED automatically at night (putting the phone upside down to block it isn't an option as I use a wireless charger).
Thanks

I opened a thread for the same thing and have not found a solution other than manually turning the LED off at night. I don't know why this was removed as it was previously part of "blocking mode"
I wish that existed but maybe they will add that in a future update.
It amazes me that Android still hasn't figured out that people don't want to be disturbed while they're sleeping.
Thanks for the replies guys!

What I don't understand is why they took this away. I have attached a screenshot from my Note 3 that had blocking mode and there was a toggle for the LED...why did that not remain an option?!?
It seems like such a fundamental option doesn't it? lol
That is probably the priblem...it is too fundamental
Use Light Flow and their sleep function. Works great.

This LightFlow app vucks up the notifications on the Samsung Galagy S7. USELESS!!!
The only way I found to do this is use tasker. I use the following plugin to turn off led. The same task will turn on my do not disturb. Basically I have a task set up that activates with power and between 9pm and 7 am. I go to sleep early.

Hi, I need a screen with a very bright screen. I am considering buying a nokia 8 but the only thing holding me back is the lack of led notification. Does it bother you or not? Appreciate anyones thoughts.
I don't miss it at all, and now I like the fact that it's not always blinking for something.
The glance screen will tell you if you missed phone calls or SMS, although you do have to move the phone for it to come on.
I thought that I would miss the notification LED, but am getting on fine without it.

thanks, so just moving the phone turns on glance screen? Seems like a good alternative.
Yes moving the phone will turn on the glance screen.
I attach two pictures, one of glance screen in operation and the second of the possible settings for the glance screen. The time-out for the glance screen can be set up to 20 minutes.
I should point out that while the screen on the Nokia 8 will not disappoint for clarity and brightness, that the glance screen is dim (to save battery) and you cannot make it brighter.
Hope that helps
I'm the opposite end of the stick. I think glance is [email protected] and do miss the notification led.

Backlight notification. In other words, use the capacitive buttons as notification leds.

Not really... It only shows counters for missed calls, mails and texts. Missed messages from other apps (like messengers) are not shown. Besides that, the counter font is very tiny. I turned off glance screen after a few days because I found it totally useless...
So, yes: I actually miss a notification LED.

No, you need a custom kernel to be able to do it.
Edit: The apps I was trying (that used the camera flash for notificaitons) didn't work, so I've deleted the links.
I have been searching looking for way to make this work with no solution.
I have disabled AOD since it is consuming battery heavily and wanted notifications to behave as on stock android where they turn screen on. My note 8 is receiving notifications and LED turns on, but screen doesn't. I have to manually turn it on to be able to see the lockscreen notification.
Is there any way to make this work?

Facing same issue.
Having the same problem. Aod does not work anymore.

I use "Dynamic Notifications". It lights up notifications when screen is locked. There's a certain amount of customisation, including screen on time. Used it on many of my phones including Note 8.
Wait.. You want the screen to turn on for every notification?
I hate that... Some apps even ignore the settings either way.

Same here, that would drive me nuts if the screen turned on for every notification. It's bad enough the screen turns on everytime the phone is plugged in/unplugged from USB or from a wireless charger.
Shouren, you can try snoozy charger app to manage the plug/unplug screen on issue

Thanks. The rom I'm using is actually supposed to have that disabled but I don't think it works for wireless charging, only cable. I never never charge with the cable anymore. But whatever, I prefer not to install apps just to disable one minor thing.
I understand you, I also prefer wireless, but, it works with wireless too
There must be a build prop tweak or something but I can't seem to find one right now.
Maybe a PM to a nice dev and they could tell you where to look. Report for community if you figure it out
