No Notification LED

[JeromeM]

I'm also an ex bb user lol i still use the bb keyboard on my note 9 lol

Side loaded?

I mostly use it to tell when the phone is charged, or to make sure its actually charging when I put it on the wireless

Wondering your thoughts on the N10's not having a "Notification LED" ?

Notification LED are dead, and have been for years now...

Well sort of. You can install cobalts bb app.

Holey light and from what I understand samsung put it in Goodlock aswell.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully this will help those who will miss the led.

I can’t think the last time I really found the led useful. I really haven’t worried about one since getting a galaxy watch.

Even when I have had a Pebble/Tizen/WearOs watch, I still find the notification led helpful.

It's like the ir blaster. Some of us L O V E it. Others never even set it up for their devices. Many don't use LED notifications because you need a 3rd party app to control it and set it up. Like you I L O V E LED notifications. My Note9 is likely the last phone I will ever own that has them. I see that yellow light across the room and know I have an sms. I can't see that on the AOD from a distance.

Not years. My Note 9 has them and they work great and I love them.

If the edge lighting would stay on until I check notification it would be perfect
On the Note 9 the edge lighting is only on for a few seconds so I often miss it

It doesn't bother me. With my aod notifications and edge lighting I won't miss it.i barely even pay attention to it now.

There is a setting to set the duration of the edge lighting: settings> edge screen> edge lighting> edge lighting style> effect, transparency, width, duration

 

[recDNA]

There is no setting on Note 9 for edge lighting to stay on forever with screen off until notification is cleared. I have it set to max duration but it on on much less than 60 seconds. I want it on all day until I see it.

Is there such a setting (unlimited hours on) on your model?

I really dislike led notifications and I turn them off immediately. I like edge lighting but on on a couple of things and quickly, catch my eye and then stop. I don't need blinking and colors and constant on. I don't use other apps either.

And the great thing is in Android we could elect to turn them on or shut them off... until they took them away. I just hate to see manufacturers limiting our options. I chose the OG Droid over the iPhone BECAUSE of led notifications. Heck I'd like them on even with my screen on. I like the light show. My pet peeve is curved edges. I hate em. Most must like them.

My pet peeve is curved edges. I hate em.

they're not useful, more of a pain, and only for styling and sales of broken screens when the curve hits because no case on it.

I think every flagship phone has them now
Hate em but even iPhones have them. Android still has more user options but as time goes on they are diminishing

 

[toenail_flicker]

even iPhones have them

didn't know Apple had gone that way too. craziness

AOE app works. I have mine set to a ring around the camera.
Appears when the phone is charging and for notifications. There's also an option of a dot where the old led notification would be. Works with edge lighting as well.

Was it easy to get it up and running with that app? I just my phone last night and missing my led notifications and edge lighting doesn't last long enough for me....so I need to try this. Also, did you find a tutorial on it if I may ask?

It's very customizable and requires some system settings. I was able to figure out much of it on my own but there are tutorials on YouTube. The app is free but the only thing that's a pain is to save the changes you gotta watch a 30 second ad/video. If you pay for it the ads are removed. I just mute the ad.

I don't think it's unlimited. It goes from short to "long." I don't imagine that "long" is all that long.
