Have you tried this feature. Lights up the screen when you receive any notification.. You can set it to other colors..
#prettycool
I've been playing around with this myself, doesn't appear like there is any customization to this which I wish there was to extend the time it stays on screen. Also it doesn't seem to work if you use custom texting apps for example.
Yeah it would have been nice to customize the colors, duration (time and repeat), and which notifications. Really like it though. I've missed a flashing status light to get my attention.

He was able to change it to whatever color? Or it was just showing the different factory set colors?

There's a few of those apps, and this one worked best for me! I stopped using it (uninstalled) though, too much battery drain!

Go to notification settings on the custom texting app, importance, urgent. That should activate the blue frame. Worked for me on the Signal text app.
useless in the dark?
It almost makes up for the lack of Notification LED.
My only issue with this feature is that it only works when the AOD is on... so it is useless at night or in the dark.
I haven't figured out how to keep the AOD on while in the dark, I feel the phone vibrate but you have to press the power button a couple of times to wake up the V40. Anyone else having a similar issue? is there a setting?

Come to find out my issue is with the screen protector. It doesn't have a notch at the top, just holes for the cameras and speaker, and a clear spot for the sensor between the cameras... but that's not enough. So when there is not enough light, the sensor thinks it's in the pocket and the screen goes dark... and no knock to un-lock.

Yes, KnockON is enabled under "Extensions". I've found that knock or fingerprint don't work if the sensor in the front is covered. Only the power button.

I got my N1 third-hand (would you believe it), and am simply blown away by it. I came over from a Nokia 5530, where the touch menu button would light up every few minutes. Is it possible to do this on the N1, at least while the screen is on?
I'm running Cyanogen Mod 6 RC3, and I've ticked the option where the LED works as a breathing light, but it isn't. Please help me, I'm new to all this.
Umm yes go into settings, cyan settings, UI, track ball, and you can set the track ball color for each individual app. So for me texts blink red, missed call blue, Twitter green, etc.
No no I know that and I love it. But is it possible to make the trackball light up every couple of minutes for no reason? It's no biggie, but I think it would make a nice touch.
Send yourself a text message and never clear it. =P

Yeah I'm pretty sure you can have the track ball flash all the time for no reason. Did you check all the settings?
Edit: I thought I saw a setting for this but now I can't find it. Maybe it doesn't exist...?
There is a setting, but it doesn't seem to work. Then KIagain, I am getting poor battery life compared to my Nokia, so no breathing light is both a blessing and a curse

ive got the same problem, there is an option in in the ui settings that says always pulse, but it doesnt seem to work for some reason. does anyone know if there is a fix for this
There is a free app in the market called LED Disco that will flash your trackball any color you want(as long as the screen is timed out)
You pick the colors via settings. You can have it cycle thru all the colors as well.
It even kills itself when a notification comes in so the notification can take over the trackball color, and then turns itself back on when you clear the notification.

I just downloaded led disco, I am running it to see what happens to my battery life if it doesn't drain it horribly it'll be pretty cool to use on a regular basis
FWIW, whenever I forget to read emails and leave the LEF blinking, when I come back, the battery usage is much higher than the 0.5% I normally get and the battery usage screen claims the "display" has been hogging the power.
was closing something on my phone and hand slid in some direction and not sure how in the world but the brightness slider is gone from my choices in the notification panel.

Just slide that area down and it will show.
It's just like one of the expansive notifications. If you slide your finger down the notification toggles area it show. And if you slide your finger up that area it should hide it.

It's not the case for me. Not working I've tried swiping in every direction. I do have Wanam installed with a couple of tweaks. Hopefully that's not the reason it's not working because I can't do without Wanam.
Hi all, I can help you !
GS5 user here, soon to be Note 4 - but I just tested this out on mine and got it to work.
To add/remove the brightness adjustment, drag the notification screen down, touch the upper right icon that looks like 4 boxes, touch the little pen icon to Edit your menu and check/uncheck the Brightness adjustment option.

happened to me during the 1st day when I was playing around with everything, I do believe it happened when I hit the ultra powersaving mode option, then after disabling that feature, I think it came back after a restart,
I wish mine was gone!
I know this thread is long dead, but I had the same issue and found a solution. First, the slider had only disappeared when I was on manual brightness. As soon as I turned on manual from the notification panel, it disappeared. Here's the voodoo I found in desperation that got it to work.
With auto-brightness already on (and in the notification panel) Go to Settings>Display>Brightness and move the slider (do not click the uncheck). Drop the panel down, and it should now be there and you can check and uncheck without it disappearing. Some dumb glitch, and simply turning auto-brightness back on the settings panel would only bring it back until I switched off auto-brightness.
Hello, I am thinking of buying the Nokia 8. Given that there is no notification led; do all notifications appear on the glance screen at least? For example whatsApp/Viber/gmail notifications?

I've installed this for missed notifications on any app as there is no led.

Bit of an oversight not to have it on Nokia's part. I mean how much would it have cost, a $?
Phone call notifications are hard coded as missed calls.
Email / messages - these are based on the notification category - GMail / Outlook show as emails, FB Messenger* and text messages show as messages - WhatsApp doesn't
* FB Messenger is hit and miss at times, I think group ones show, but if any media is sent, the notification category changes and no longer counts as a message
I thought I could get by with glance rather than a notification LED, but I can't. Glance doesn't display notifications for Texta or True Phone for me - I have to use the stock messaging and dialler apps.
Also, glance disappears after a minute unless you move your phone. If you set it to the maximum of 20 minutes, it stays on even when there aren't any notifications, thus wasting battery.
I tried NoLED, but it's not the same, and it too has the entire display on just to display a small coloured dot.
This, together with the slow fingerprint scanner means I'll likely sell my Nokia 8 and keep my Mi6. It's disappointing, as I love having stock Android and timely updates.

I have two thoughts on the subject but I don't even have the phone so this might not worth much it's informative I gathered researching the phone as I have an interest in it,
1. I read somewhere that the area which shows the glance screen actually uses lower power and therfore shouldn't use much battery despite it being lcd it sounds weird but try the twenty minutes option and see if you truly get much battery drain.
2. I read somewhere else that there might be a software update that will enable the capacitive buttons light to blink on notifications... If you can hold on until that is available....

100% they can if they choose to. Should have from the start given they omitted a notification led.

hey there i wanted to ask if your screen wakes upon notifications, or it stays off, but only notification sound comes through (just like my nokia 8 does)
is there a way to wake screen upon notifications (kinda like ambient display), without me having to double tap?
thanks
Unfortunately the screen doesn't wake up on notif. It was a big issue for me, as there is no led either, and the glance is just useless in its current state (really need an update to be as good as lumias)
I'm a heavy SMS and Whatsapp sender. I solved the issue with Textra for SMS (you can enable the screen wake-up in the app settings, and it works perfectly) and Whatsapp automatically wake-up the screen too.
Use glimpse notifications app, it's a great app.
Stock android, from 6.0 ver (I mean) , doesn't have that option anymore.

It's called "Glance View", and there are multiple options. Always on is possible. Turn on for notification is possible. Honestly I don't know if you can turn *off* the screen-on during notifications. I have the settings seen in the attached screenshot, and when I get a notification it just turns on the display, showing the time and fingerprint sensor, but none of the notifications themselves.
At night I see this red sensor/light in top left corner. May just be a motion sensor for the glance display

NOKIA 9 PureView has NO LED notification light, only Always-On display notifications called Glance View as stated by Harfainx
I have an always on lock screen that showing time on a black/turned off screen. However, from time to time when I pick up the phone from my packet there is this lock screen that showing my lock screen background and a clock. Only on that screen I cannot unlock the phone, face recognition, pattern and finger print is not available on that screen. I have to press power button to lock the phone and only afterwards I can use my finger print to unlock it.
It is very annoying because as I said I have to re-lock the phone to unlock it again.
I looked in the settings under lock screen, biometrics and could not find how to Iget rid of that ghostly lock screen?
If you dont use always on edge (aoe) then I think you mean the always on screen, but you actually can unlock from it, it should Show you the Fingerprint area.
It appears when you tap the screen when it's turned of, tapping this screen twice gets you to the normal lockscreen.
I've seen that recently... It's like a screen saver except I didn't enable one.. Lol
