Great phone! One thing worries me though:
Using stock android email, I don't get any notifications in the status bar.
For Gmail, the notification for new mail does appear in the status bar OK.
In both cases the LED does not blink when a mail arrives.
I'm pretty sure I've checked all the options for notifications (settings>Apps & notifications>configure notification) as well as all apps allowed to send notifications; and in email settings. Also tried in safe mode, and did a factory reset with no result.
But perhaps I'm missing something?
Anyone else with similar issues?
Edit_____
Factory reset solved email icon - it now appears. But no LED light.
Installed led light app (Phone Light-LED) which seems to be a good workaround so far.

Actually, you can try to reset app preferences next time.

I've found that starting in 7.1.1 on my XC, the LED notifications will blink only for notifications configured for sound. If notification is silent, then no LED. Stupid IMO. Not sure if 8.0 is the same or not.
WhatsApp on my Xz1c doesn't display a badge counter on the app icon. Is there a way to get this back? Is it an Oreo issue or WhatsApp issue? Occasionally I get a notification dot on the WhatsApp icon but it's a bit inconsistent. I'd prefer the message counter though as on my previous Xperia.
Hi everybody,
I use special notifications for Whatsapp notifications.
I want to clear this notification that I created after reading the messages from the notification area.
I used to be able to do this by reading notification badges. But I haven't been able to do that since the interactive badge notifications arrived.
I simply don't get heads up notifications from Facebook Messenger. All other apps are showing notifications properly. What could be the cause of this? I have checked all the settings and they should come. Now my phone only plays a notification sound and inserts Messenger icon in the status bar. Are heads-up notifications working for you?
While I'm using clipboard, the notification bar has been drugged down without any reason. It's annoying! What can be done to solve it?
