According to the folks at Light Flow Samsung changed the way the LED works. They haven't figured it out yet and different color notifications don't work right yet.

Light flow is working with no issues for me. Have set up about 5 different colors for notifications and they are all working for me

How about whatsapp ? Is anyone able to try out for me ?

lightflow is working ok considering my phone isnt currently rooted. i hate that damn persistent notification when its unrooted.
i do have to admit that this LED is much better than the one on the note 4. this one is much brighter and vibrant.

Hey mate I'm having this exact issue. Wondering if it is a hardware fault or normal behavior!

I have the same issue on my Note 5 (N920C), pink led color on whatsapp notifications, tested with light manager and seems like the LED is not able to reproduce a white colour.
Does anybody know if this is an hardware fault or something that can be fixed with a future SW update?

It's normal. Dont sweat it and use the phone. Every note 5 is like this

I use NoLed. Works great with our screens. Every Led app i have tried has had its own minor bug. Light flow shows a star in the notification bar for gmail notifications. Led blinker for some reason shows duplicate notifications for some of my emails using Bluemail. NoLed seems to work flawlessly and never shows up in my battery stats.

It seems many colours are not well reproduced.
I set YELLOW color for WhatsApp but many times the resulting notification led color is RED.

It's just the first tick. Subsequent ticks are the 'right' color

I have the same problem using Light Manager. Whenever i set the color YELLOW, it turns RED. And the LED light for FB messenger doesnt seem to work. I tried to set it to BLUE but it is always giving me a green color that blinks every 2 secs where i set it to blink in BLUE every 3 secs. It appears some apps has it own LED configuration in Note5. I hope this will be fixed in the next updates.

I'm having an issue with a note 5 from sprint (N920P) and after flashing a clean ROM the LED stopped working, neither with any type of notification nor on the hidden menu *#0*# , I've already check the settings and it's turned on, any help please

Notification LED Color problem

Hello
I own a Note 8 Exynos for about 1 week and I noticed that the notification LED can reproduce correctly only blue, green and red color.
Any other color is incorrectly reproduced.
I noticed this when I saw the standard notification color for Whatsapp is purple instead of what should've been - white.
I've made other tests and realize that any other color instead of standard blue/green/red is abnormal (yellow is something like dimm orange, white is purple as I said etc.)
I previously had an S8+ (which I presume it has the same type of LED) and this was not an issue, no matter what firmware it had.
Do you have the same problem?
Thanks!

I have this too, tried setting white and got a purple'ish colour, ended up choosing a different colour as I figured there's not a lot I can do about it.

I have a note 3, a note 4, a note 7 and now a note 8, only the note 3 has accurate led colors, so, I think that's it, no defects, no problem, just it is is what it is, when my note 4 was new, this issue made crazy, but after some time, and seeing that the note 7 was the same, and now with the 8, I no longer bother about it, in fact I only use red blue and green

Changing the LED indicator on Xiaomi Mi max 2?

Hi,
I was wondering if there's anyway to change the colour of the LED notification indicator on the mi max 2 and assign it for different purposes. One of the features I missed on the Samsung Galaxy note 4 was the ability to assign a different colour for different notifications. Or flashes red when its low battery, and charging and when its fully charged, it changes to green. Is there a way to get apply something like this on the mi max 2? Right now the mi max 2 just had this white indicator for all my notifications and when its charging.
Thanks.

Led Indicator color issue

I received Note 9(VZW) directly from Samsung 3 days ago. I traded in Note 8 and received $500 credit. It is my first purchase from Samsung.
Everything works fine except the LED Indicator. I don't see any problem with Red, Green and Blue colors. I noticed the color of KakaoTalk notification LED is not solid yellow as it should. It looks like light green(half yellow and half green). If I let it blink for a while, it sometimes changes to Yellow and goes back to light green. I installed "Light Manager" and tested all available colors. I see a problem with Yellow, Orange and White. Yellow looks like light Green, Orange looks like Yellow and While looks like light Cyan. If I them blink for a wile, the correct color of Yellow and Orange sometimes light up. However, White remains in light Cyan.
I think my Note 9 is defective. Has anyone exchanged a defective phone from Samsung? What process do I need to go through? Do they send you a new phone 1st like VZW does?
Thanks.

Couldn't even get light manager to work on my device. It said that screen must be off to test the led colors. If screen is off how the hell do I press the on screen test color button [emoji23]

That's because you have to turn screen off once you press test mode or W.e it's called, wait a few seconds and notification light will start to flash.

I use LED Blinker Pro and it works perfectly ?

Yep orange and yellow look about the same on mine too. Meaning when I pick orange it's yellow and orange and when I pick yellow it's orange and yellow also. You best exchange yours, not acceptable for $1000+ device [emoji23] [emoji1787]
PS. I remember all my previous notes were similar. Good luck.

I am having this same issue too when I use light flow. I need to know if it's a defect or if it's something the app is doing. Doesn't seem as though that many ppl are having the issue or even notice? The phone is fine otherwise. Can anyone else verify if this is happening? Anyone with two devices?

I have the identical problem as the original poster, with exactly the same colour issues.
The bizarre thing is, this has only just started to occur. The colours were pretty well defined before, other than the white which was always a little cyan looking.
Last night I was expecting a yellow LED from a notification and I got green.
I then tried all colour options in Light Manager and it seemed I only got red/green/blue despite what I selected. Same with defining custom colours in Whatsapp.
I experimented and set the LED to BRIGHT in Light Manager. Was previously on Normal. This improved things massively. All of this was done in evening time indoors with not much light.
Today I re-set the LED to NORMAL in light manager, and the colours were fine. Also the Whatsapp colours were now ok too. This confused me, but I read on Light Manager forum that this phone has an ambient LED sensor so I am wondering if that is what is affecting the colours. I will try again tonight in the dark and see if they have reverted back to R/G/B again.
So my solution at the moment is to set the LED to BRIGHT in the Light Manager settings.
Not ideal really as on my S7 previously the LED was faultless.

I had an note 2, note 8 and now note 9 and they all have the same issue with some colour blending with that LED.
It must had some multiple fixed colour LEDs around the hole and the green and yellow must be "far" from each other so that when it need to mix them to make the desired colour, they badly blend.

Question Customise notification Led

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone knows if the notification LED can be customised? I've tried light flow but it doesn't work correctly (perhaps because of the lack of colours supported by zenfone LED?).

Sadly, the notification LED is only red green and yellow

That is a little unfortunate although if it could be customized it still would be handy (for example green on vs slow flash vs fast flash all for different apps).. Seems strange that the green light flow settings don't work even though the LED has green.
