Lame HTC - just lame. Same issue - thought the phone didn't have this feature lol. Guess that's the reason this is going to be my backup phone until I get an S5 which isn't going to be half baked like the M8.
Aargh. This is really lame. Bought a Verizon M8 a week ago, LED works fine, tests fine, works for charging (orange & green) but not for notifications. To see if it makes any diff, I have all notifications turned off except mail. C'mon HTC fix this BUG!

Spoke to HTC about this concern today and they had me disable the Verizon Messenger app on my phone via the App Manager. I restarted the phone and now my notification lights are working!!!! This explains why AT&T users are not experiencing this problem. Amazing... Thanks Verizon!
I do have Verizon's stupid messaging app disabled - it was one of the first things I did when I got the phone. Light still does not work. And no I'm not restoring my phone and going through all that hassle again - HTC needs to get their act together and fix this.

Have you run the Diagnostics and tested the LED hardware? If it works during the test then we'll know if it's hardware or software.
Just tried in safe mode still doesn't work. Even enabled the Verizon messaging app and doesn't work with that either.
I did the factory reset and voila! it works. Thought it would be a hassle but then I remembered all the apps that installed that I didn't want on the HTC such as Samsung apps from my S4 and Tab Pro 8.4. Now I can cherry pick which apps I want on the phone.
As good as auto-restore sounds (in theory), it's a pain when you have all these OEMs filling up the phones with their own special apps... I don't even bother using the restore anymore because of all those random apps on my account history that I don't want to bother clearing out.
But glad it all worked out for you!
Yeah that's what I do too.Just skip the step about restoring the apps - that's what fixed it for me anyway. When I setup the phone the first time I let it restore apps and of course it installed the crap from my Samsung devices. If you skip that step you only get the stuff that was on the phone originally and then you can add whichever apps you chose.
Last thing I want to do for my Verizon M8 is start from scratch after spending a week customizing it. I did get mine at a Verizon store and the gal had the phone out and was "doing stuff" to it. I didn't realize that she was going through the setup which, at the time, I thought was nice of her but would have preferred to do myself. Then she handed me the phone and told me to put in my Google account which I did. But I didn't think to not do a restore. I've also disabled the Verizon Messenger Plus app after a Force Stop but still no joy. The LED does however work for low battery. Just no apps. Sigh. FIX IT HTC!!!
