Does Note 5 have notification LED?
The notification LED on my Note 5 alerted me to the fact that this question had been asked just now.

Thanks
I can live without IR Blaster or extension memory
But LED notification this I can't live wihtout
Thread moved to proper forum.
Just a heads up I find the notification LEDs to be weaker and dimmer than those on my old phone (Note 2). Still easy for me to miss them. Also don't blink as fast or frequent.
settings > accessibility > hearing > flash notification
[Thank you!

So I finally returned from a two-year Apple iPhone 6s Plus. Got the Note 8. But I have to get used to Android again. Please help me out.
My phone is on Vibrate mode all the time.
I want the notification LED to work when I get an email in Gmail, but I don't want the phone to vibrate when I get an email. I used to be able to do this on my Note Edge, but now, I cannot get the right combination of settings to make it work on the Note 8.
I've tried different combination of settings in the Notification sections in conjunction with the settings under my account in Gmail. So far, I can only get the LED to blink if I do NOT turn on "Show silently" in the App notification section, and under my account setting: inbox sound and vibrate/sound/beep once. Even though I specifically in the same section, uncheck the "vibrate" box, the phone still vibrates when receiving an email.
Anyone has the right combo to make this work? Or this is a bug of some kind?
Thanks.
i dont think you can turn that off

I've been suffering with this since the s8+. Note hasn't been any different. Curious why the app settings get overridden.

From what I've read it's a bug, I don't want my phone to vibrate or play a notification from gmail just want the led to flash.
So I've downloaded a silent notification "sound" found in the zedge app and then choose this as a sound notification in gmail and it's working fine

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but it still vibrated because I am already in vibrate mode (even though I unchecked vibrate in my Gmail setting).
Note 8 Gmail/LED/Vibrate Issue
I think I have your answer. With the Note 8, you can set vibration intensity for notifications to 0 or the lowest setting. This basically eliminates any noticeable vibration when you receive an email yet activates LED, as long as you download silent ringer and turn both sound and vibrate on.
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.
I installed Light Flow on my S8, and it's working great, except for one minor issue. When the battery is fully charged, and the green light comes on, I'm not getting any other notification LEDs, just the solid green LED. If I unplug the phone, then the other LED notifications start flashing. Does anyone know how I can fix that?
I think you can set up a notification in light flow for fully charged. Just set it so that there is no LED. Hopefully that will take care of it. Just uncheck enable LED for that particular notification in light flow.

My current phone is an S7 with Marshmallow and Light Flow Legacy has been working flawless. I just received an S8 with PIE and I've been hearing horror stories after updating.
Are you using Light Flow Pro or Legacy?
Are you also using the sound alerts?
I'm mainly interested if getting the initial sound and the repeating sounds as it is used for work.
Thanks...

I am using Legacy. Back when I first installed I had both Pro and Legacy installed and it recommended disabling Pro, so I did. I works fine.
I don't have Lightflow control the sound, but I wasn't getting vibration for a couple things so I use Lightflow for vibration. I think I get double vibration sometimes, but it doesn't bother me. I should probably turn off the other vibrations in the apps, but haven't bothered yet.
I have not tried to use it for sound.

Light Flow Legacy was working fine on all my alerts except 'Missed Call'. I spent several hours, even factory reset. I have finally figured it out.
I was using 'From pre-defined application list' to set the applications I wanted to be alerted on which included 'Missed Call'. Well, it appears the 'Missed Call' in 'From pre-defined application list' does no work on the S8 with PIE. I remove the 'Missed Call' from my list and went into 'From an installed application' and there were 4 'Phone' entries in there, and no 'Missed Call'. I added all 4 'Phone' entries with different LED colors for each, and the 'Missed call' is now working. I deleted the 3 that did not match the LED color that was alerting on, and it is all good. I did have to silent the default sound, and turn off the default LED in phone settings notifications.

I agree. I have been confused about which phone app is actually being used for what when getting the LED to light, and for other issues. I wish I knew that you could uninstall all but one and which one that was. I could probably figure this out, but haven't taken the time yet.
Dear experts, please help

I personally don't think there is an option to turn off Heads Up or now called "Peeking" notifications. However, there are a few third-party apps that can help you disable the heads up notification but you have to disable each app manually. AFAIK heads-up notification is the quickest way to reply and makes life easy and reduces the RAM usage and background activity which on whole will reduce your battery usage.
The best option is to have this notification which look like that>>> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EV_hXQAJ8-vXUeUzyWjPTJdZ4zZ6k10g/view?usp=drivesdk
Does anyone know what to do to have this notifications?
Hi,
just received my first Samsung yesterday and wanted to get the Edge Lighting working.
I enabled in the settings and also all needed apps like Telegram and Whatsapp are enabled inside the Edge Lighting settings.
Somehow this never works, with screen on or off. There's no lighting when a notification pops in from the enabled apps.
Is there any fix for this? I miss the notification light from my old P10 a lot and this seems to be the only way to have something in this direction on the S10, at the moment.
Before I've got the phone I was hoping Samsung enabled a notification ring around the camera.
Greetings,
Jannomag

Same thing here. Edge notifications not working at all.
---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------
Just checked and it does work when I get an SMS, but not when I get an email. And Gmail is activated as one of the apps that should light up the edge notifications.
Not working for me either
Edge Lighting has always had an issue with some apps with the screen off. You need to change Whatsapp settings to Settings > Notifications > Popup Notifications > When Screen off.
Same for any other app it's not working for with the screen off. It needs to have a setting enabled for "popup" or something along those lines.
Iam having the same issue. It will work if you select the popup notification within the app to 'when screen is off' but then the message is also displayed in a popup on the lock screen which i don't want! How hard can it be to want the edge to light up and for the notification contents to remain private.
I had the same thing with my S9, but if you read carefully in display > edge screen > edge lighting > show edge lighting > while screen if off, it says that it replaces notifications that "turn the screen on", and since whatsApp doesn't do this by default, you'll have to turn on pop up view. But here's the thing, I never thought of this solution before, I just installed "glimpse notifications" from play store, it basically lights up the screen if you receive any notification, I personally ignored all apps except for whatsApp, and made sure I enabled persistent notifications to dismiss battery optimizations, keep LED notifications to make it continue blinking, and delay screen-on to allow the notification sound to be fully played, all these can be found under "extras" in the app menu, they'll suggest you to do so as soon as you open the app, and Voil

Jannomag, you very possibly have seen this by now but, if not you might take a look at Chainfire's Holey Light app. Thread with info and link to Play Store listing is right here in S10 forum in Themes, Apps and Mods. It is a good third party answer to your wish for notification light around front facing camera.
I have similar issue with native Samsung Email v6.1.12. All other apps show Edge Lighting, but for native email using gmail / private / work account, no lighting for me. All notifications sound and vision are enabled.
