After updating my htc one to 4.3, my notifications led is not working. It comes on when I plug it on charge, but doesn't work for anything else. Anyone else have this problem?
Same here , red only when charging, green led not working ?

Did you guys factory reset after upgrading? Its most likely that the LED will work after a factory reset, I didn't as it all worked lovely without this time and with kit Kat round the corner I will factory reset for that upgrade. Maybe some one knows what process drives the LED that we can try clearing and force closing? might help

Yes, I actually rooted my phone, and installed 4.3 before it was even available ota, and the notification led would not work. I then went back to stock, and received the ota update, then did a factory reset, still cant get notifications to work. It seems to be affecting a minority of handsets which I find strange.

I think we may well be a minority with this problem, there's not a lot of noise on this forum the internet in general about it, it could be a combination of apps that are causing the problem, or maybe the new Do Not Disturb feature is not running properly as that shuts down the notification Led when activated.
We know a factory reset doesn't help.
Apps I have that use the notification LED other than the stock system notification are only WhatsApp and Missed Call Reminder, I am going to try uninstalling them and see if it frees the LED up, other than that I am at a loss.
I am having the same problem after recently updating to 4.3 / 5.5 (stock Scandinavian int. unlocked version) so I will be keeping an eye on this thread and any others to see what the possible solution is.
As manmikey has said, factory reset doesn't solve it - at least a regular reset and re-install. I may reset again and set it up without importing my apps, to see if one of them is screwing it up but I don't have anything out of the ordinary which accesses the LED - only stock Messaging and Gmail. I tried LightFlow, to see if that would somehow kick it back to life and override what was causing the problem by using its testing tools, but still nothing...
So yeah, must be a combination of updates and apps which knock it out. It's not a huge issue as I still have audio notifications but it is super-handy being able to glance at my phone and see if anything has arrived. Might be fixed with 4.4, who knows...

Finally got to the bottom of this problem which has been bugging me for weeks. If anyone is having problems with there notification led not working, do a factory reset. During the install process after resetting, DO NOT log into your google account and let it restore your apps and settings. Lo in once pone has fully booted up and manuallyrestore apps, bit of a pain if you have loads of apps, but the light is now working normal for messages, emails etc etc as it should

YES! Thank you so much for this! I did the reset, without restoring using my Google account and then logged in after the set up had finished. Sent a test email from another account and *BAM* the green LED flashes away. Such a nice feeling to have it back - it feels like my phone is now complete. Strange how such a small thing can make a difference to the overall user experience.
Having to reinstall and set up my apps from scratch is a small price to pay for having everything work properly.
Thanks again

No easy solution but a more info for those with this problem...
Seeing on this forum that restoring using Google back up did not cure the problem I thought I would try using HTC back up. I did a factory reset and then a restore from my HTC back up to try and get the notification lamp working. Unfortunately the Led still does not work after this so it looks like Honda1979s method is the only way
As a footnote I have now returned my HTC One (to Carphone Warehouse) for warranty repairs as the device has microphone/noise cancelling issues (another seemingly common problem of the HTC one) So I reported the LED not notifying as well, so lets see what comes back in 6 days..... I have a horrible feeling that HTC will shirk the repair and quote "moisture damage" even tho it has never been wet. watch this space

Okay still no solution but further information....
I received a replacement HTC One as the microphone issue was not repairable, the replacement device was a factory reconditioned unit with sense 5.0 & Android 4.2.2 installed. The notification LED was working when I put my sim in and subsequently after I ran HTC restore. Then I downloaded the OTA sense 5.5/4.3 update and ran it. After that update the notification LED was no longer working. At this point I am leaving it as I don't want to spend too much more of my life chasing a flashing green light, after the KitKat update I will follow Honda1979s methods and rebuild the phone from scratch and not restore from backup.
Hey guys I am the owner of a new HTC One phone
My feeling is that Swiftkey is messing up green led notification
Do you have installed Swiftkey. Because for me notification does not work after the installation of this application
Also an uninstall of it does not help. For the moment only honda solution seems working

Solved - Notification LED not working
Just to update the post....
After the OTA update to KitKat 4.4.2 I did not restore from backups but rebuilt my HTC One as a brand new device, I can confirm the green notification LED is now working again :good:
Okay having just updated OTA to sense 6 I find yet again that the notification Led has stopped working again as a result of updating. I was expecting to have to rebuild my phone from scratch as before to get the Led working. But I discovered another way to get it working whilst installing another app.
The app is "Missed Message Flasher" and when setting it up it requires turning on in the Settings/Accessibility/Services menu. Once installed and turned on the Led works as entirely as intended
I confirmed this by uninstalling the app at which point the Led stopped working again, reinstalled and the Led works again.
I have no idea why this solves it, but I hope it helps others with this frustrating issue.

So I had the same issue.tested my led in safe mode it worked fine. Downloaded the led notifier on app in market because some reported this fixed it.disabled Google hangouts and Verizon messaging still nothing.but what did work and I'm not sure if its a combination of all the steps I took but all I simply did was cycle the do not disturb button on and then off from the top pull down bar. Hope this works for you guys.

Old thread but ran into this problem a week ago on my Desire HD. Tried all kind of apps and removed all my widgets and a bunch of apps but couldn't get it fixed. I knew my LED still worked cause when I completely turned off the phone and connected it to the charger it worked. However as soon as I booted the phone the LED turned off and it only started flashing again when my battery level dropped below 14%. Notifications or charging the phone when it was on did not turn on the LED.
After I read your 'do not disturb' comment I pulled down the notification bar and noticed my quiet hours (Android 4.4.4) was switched on even though I never changed the setting (on from 11pm to 7am). Switched it off and now the light is working fine again.
Sometimes solutions are so easy ...
Out of the blue yesterday, my AT&T Moto X stopped vibrating. I noticed it first with the soft keys (home, back etc) but it affects everything from vibrating on ringing, to enabling silent mode, to unlocking with active display, to games.
I've tried rebooting and toggling vibration in settings. I've downloaded vibration tester apps from the Play Store. I only have the same ~70 or so apps that most of us use (dropbox, weather channel etc) and I don't run any obscure apps (less than 1000's of downloads), and I hadn't downloaded anything new for hours before the problem started.
I feel I've tried all the basic stuff, except factory reset, I don't think there's anything too obvious I'm overlooking.
So that leaves me facing either a hardware or software problem. I doubt its a problem with the physical vibration motor. Factory defects are so ridiculously rare that it should never be your first course of action. However, if it's a problem with the hardware I could try my local ATT Service Center. If it's a software problem, which seems much more likely, I could try a factory reset on the device. However it seemed a wise idea to post this question to the pros before I go down that road.
Appreciate any help you guys can offer.
AT&T Moto X
4.4
Not rooted
I would try a factory reset if you done everything else. My wife's Galaxy S3 did the same thing after the update to 4.3. A factory reset fixed it.
my gf's at&t motox running 4.2 lost vibration too. after many many reboots it would randomly work, or work very weakly (so it wasn't a problem with the physical motor, maybe it was an electrical connection to the motor?).
it was covered under warranty. they gave her a code, she re-did motomaker, and returned her original broken phone in the box the new one came in.
I hate the vibration in this thing. I would love mine to stop lol

I just performed a standard factory reset on the device and the problem persists... No vibrations, anywhere.
Is there anything else I can try? or am i headed to a service center?

You can sbf back to 4.2.2. I had a connectivity problem and a factory reset didn't fix it. But going back to 4.2.2 and taking the OTA did.
All the files are in the Dev section. If the links are broken I have copies of everything I can share. Except the 4.2.2 file for att I have Verizon.

If that doesn't work then your only other option is a warranty claim. Or live with it I guess.
The final verdict:
With nothing else working (factory reset, safe mode etc) I took the device to the ATT service center. They replaced the device, attributing the problem to defective hardware. Still find it hard to believe it was actually the hardware, but I don't see any other conclusions to draw.
Thanks for everyone's help.

At least it worked out and you have a working phone again.
I am with this problem right now and i can´t fix it.
After i flashed CM13 without Gapps my Moto X 2nd (xt1097 brazil) all vibration stopped working.
I tried going back to stock rom 5.1, 6.0 and even NX 10.1 but with NX i can hear something vibrating the phone, so i eliminated the possibilite of a hardware malfunction.
I don´t know what to do...
please help
Hello guys, I've acquired my New Moto X last monday and I've been using since then. It a fantastic phone and everything else but I have a problem with the moto voice. I use it like, 5 times a day, works perfect, but after a time, and I have a theory that it's conflicting with other apps installed in the phone, it became too slow. Like, i say my activation phrase, it beeps but nothing shows up, only 10 seconds later a very slow and laggy version of the interface. It also happens when I open it directly from the Moto app. After this, I've done a factory reset on the phone, and the Moto Voice came back to life... BUT, after 3 days it started again... Then I done it again... And guess what in 24 hours the same error. The worst part is that I dont' know if they are going to solve this error, I have already reported it but I don't know... And if I send it back to the store to get a new one I'll probably saty almost a month without a phone... Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions
Did you try clearing cache?
Also, are you on the latest version 6.1.10.1?
Yes to both!
I found the OK google feature responds faster and better. Just as long as you don't want to command other apps.
I'm having the exact same issue. It's very slow. Same issues after factory reset. Also - when it does work, works with Google Now, but none of the MOTOX apps like 'find my phone' etc.
any resolution?
Same thing here
I have had the same issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times with no luck. The few times I've managed to get through the entire voice set up it ends up un-checking my launch phrase with in a few uses and moto voice stops working. I keep providing feedback when the voice app fails and hopefully they will figureboit why this is happening. Happy to hear its most likely not my device and an issue with the app.
I have the same problem and i may have located the problem. Try turning off bluetooth completely and see if the problem still exists?
Hi there,
I'm yesterday out of the blue my phone turned itself off since apparently it ran out of battery (about 40% in less than 2 hours of stand by).
Since than I was unable to use the phone at all. It boots up but most of the apps just get stuck in their loading screen.
I'm running 4.4.4 locked bl w/ root. I've tried to wipe dalvic and cache but with no success. I have feeling this has something to do with a recent google service update
since in battery usage it mentions one as a top consumer(also explains the major battery drain). Is anyone else experiencing/ed this?
Any suggestions on how could I restore my device to functioning condition?
Edit:
Ok I am now pretty certain its the google play services...however I still have no idea how to resolve this.
Hi!
Really strange... My Google Play Services were also updated but I don't have any issues with it.
Can you access settings and make a hard reset? At least this should make your phone usable.
If the settings also get stuck, try repairing the software using Sony PC Companion.
Hi. So, I wake up in the morning to find that my phone was in recovery mode saying something along the lines of:
"Your device may be corrupt. If you keep facing this issue, you may need to factory reset your phone."
I restarted my phone only for it to restart (automatically) within a few seconds. This happened about 5 times. Then, finally, I decided to do a factory reset. After performing a hard reset, my device started working fine but only for a few minutes. I was setting up my applications and adding my Google accounts to the device when the phone restarted, again. I started looking around on XDA and other forums for anyone else facing the same problem. I went to Google Issue Tracker where I saw the same issue opened for today; however, that was on a Pixel 6. I tried sideloading an OTA image (from Google's website) and that was successful but I still kept facing the same problem. I performed a hard reset again and didn't download any applications and didn't do any additional settings. The phone worked fine for around 4-5 hours, so I decided to set it up with my applications and settings. As soon as I did that, my phone started restarting again.
Please help!
Details:
Device: Google Pixel 4a (5G)
Software: Android 13 (April 2023 Update)
Thanks in advance!
Facing exactly the same situation and it start happening today.
Appreciate any suggestions

Are you Pakistani? If so, do you have any banking applications or any Pakistani app installed for that matter? Try hard resetting your phone and install each application you want one by one. You'll know when the problematic application is installed so you can uninstall it to get rid of your issue. It was a banking application for me :/
