Just started transitioning to an HTC One. My device has 4.3 and is rooted. I have deselected all of the Notification light options; however, the green LED still comes on sometimes. Is there a way to completely disable this?

Hi all,
I was using Illumination Bar App for 1 year without any problem. I choose this APP because the old update from Sony disabled the led notifications in Stamina Mode.
Anyway, since the 4.3 update recently, the light is now always blinking until I open the phone to check messages. Before, it used to blink for 60mn and then disapear. I didn't change anything in the configuration.
I tried to update the Illumination Bar App with PlayStore after the 4.3 update, but it doesn't change anything.
I also uninstalled it, reboot the phone, and reinstall the latest version. Still the same behaviour.
Does someone else encouter the same issue ? Any workaround or tips to get rid of the problem ?
I know now the LED is working fine with the stock illumination app from Sony but you can't set the max blinking duration time before it stops.
Thank you all.
Problem is the settings. You need to set that it will stop blinking after screen unlock. This will prevent all that blinking. Also setting a time-out will help.
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.
Since the update to EMUI 10 (10.0.0.161) my notification LED is always flashing even after clearing all notifications and a restart. It does this only while the screen is off.
I do have one non-removable notification, namely Pacer, but this has never caused the LED to flash on EMUI 9. Disabling pacer notifications stops the blinking, but I do not want to switch off this notification.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thank you
Michael
Hi,
Any idea why notification led not working for apps like Google sms app and many other apps. Is it related to Android 10 or is it specific to Rog 3 ?
Regards,
I have the same problem. LED notifications on back only work in certain applications, such as sms. In massanger from facebook it is so that when the notification comes, the first time the LED on the back does not flash. however, when I wake up the screen and lock it immediately in such a way that I will not read the notification, only then the back LED blinks.
any ideas?
sry for me english
ps: i did factory reset
