[Q] Asus Zenfone 5 - Notification LED - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I took the leap of faith and recently purchased the Asus Zenfone 5 ...
Now that I took the plunge I saw the first problem so far in this phone ..
This one has a LED notification light which lights up while charging. But apart from that it does not light up for any other notification.
I really like the feature of notification light but need to get it working. I read couple of forums and understood that this was originally working fine until ASUS did a firmware update and all was lost.
Is there a way that any Genius from here can help me out and get this working so I can configure it for my mails and calendar events.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Zenfone 5 only support 3 LED Notification Light Color (Red, Green, Orange) Those 3 LED color are prioritize for phone charging. Other app also working with the LED notification depend what color the app used for the LED notification. For example, WeChat default LED notification is green. When there a message during phone sleep, it shows green LED notification. If the other app use besides of 3 LED notification, the LED notification will not work.
Hope you understand that.

Thank you for the information. But as of now I do not see any notification apart from Charging.
No notification LED When I have SMS or missed call or any other system functions.. How do I fix that ?
If the system is not working by default can I install any 3rd party app to get this working.
I am OK with only 3 colors as long as they work on the respective app or inbuilt system functionality ..

Try use an app, Notification Light Widget or other LED Notification app from Google Play Store for a test.
By the way, what firmware you using right now?

hi. i have the same problem. i tryed notification app from google play,but is not working,when charging. now i use 4.3, maybe after update to 4.4 will work right.

I have Zenfone 6. Same problem here. Notification led working only when I put the charge and led color is orange(I think ) and when the battery percentage left %15 led color turning red. But no notification led when I have SMS or missed call or any other... I'm using last 4.3.

[Q] notification ''blinking red and blue light''

Hello to all SGS 3 users...
Nice phone, fast, but battery is not good...
To the topic....
just a question that i post in omega SGS3 forum and i'm moving it to correct forum...
So is possible to change the sped rate of notification light(maybe 350ms)?
and is possible to make blinking red and blue light in fast way, so is easier to see ''
i would like to NOT use 3rd party apps...kernel support..
by kikan
I don't know about blinking speed, but I have a connected question and perhaps you can help me. My LED is blinking either white, red, blue, green and I am not sure what every color means, I didn't manage to map notifications to certain LED color. I have facebook messenger, whatsapp, 2 email accounts, sms and don't know which color means what.
Also, is there a way to map a certain color to a certain notification?
thanks

Notification LED

Hey guys, I finally got my LED light to start working after disabling the DOWNLOADED APP selection. So now the LED for my text messages blinks every few seconds which is really slow. I took your guys advice and download Light Flow but i can't get it to work and same with light manager. I tried disabling the notification led option under display and then turned it on with all the options unchecked and still light flow or light manager wont blink the color of my sms texts. Seems like both application (only one was installed at a time) doesnt seem to work or is there something im doing wrong? i even rebooted my device
I'm using lightflow and under notification light settings, I have everything checked, including downloaded apps. So I think that part has to be checked.
I''m also having issues with the G3 notification LED in general, as well as Light Manager. Without light manager installed, I sometimes get the LED notification for twitter and sometimes I don't. When I do, it blinks at a 3 second interval. I do get the LED for Gmail, but it blinks in about 10 second intervals. Other downloaded apps, I don't get LED at all. So there's that issue. Wondering if I should take back the device altogether....
With Light Manger installed, things get a little better, but just wondering what I need to have the phone's LED/Notificaiton settings set at with the Light Mgr app installed as it seems to be conflicting with the light mgr app? For example, Gmail doesn't blink at the rate I have it set at in the app nor is it the color I designate. In fact, Gmail acts as if the Light Mgr app isn't even there and blinks as per the LG default (I''ve added Gmail as an app and tied it to my account as well within the app). Very odd.

Notification Light does not show on missed calls

I made sure that the notification light is enabled, but for some reason i dont see any indication that i missed a call - maybe it has something todo that i use a non standard dialer app by default ?

Hi, I am also facing an issue of the same kind. I cannot see any other color of the LED except for red when the battery is low. After charging is completed, the green LED should be lit, but there is actually a very dim orange light that is noticed only in the dark. The same for the calls or other notifications. I don't even remember if going to recovery or fastboot mode will trigger the blue LED but nothing is displayed anyhow.
Does somebody have any idea how to restore the LED to "normal"? This has happened after I installed the X829 rom on my X820. Since that time, looks like no other color is present except red.
Any advice is welcome.

Since update to Pie, notification led not working for some apps

I just recently updated to Pie on my Honor 8x - all stock JSN-L23.
What I have noticed is the LED no longer flashes green when getting Hangouts messages. SMS works fine for Google's Messaging app as well as Gmail. I also installed Spark and it also does not show LED light when I get a message. Anyone else experiencing this or is this completely isolated?
Thanks.
Here, the LED isn't working for any app except calls and sms in 8.1 and since I bought the phone.
The settings are set to use the light and vibration, but they won't go on. For example Twitter notifications never have sound, vibration and led, I checked and unchecked the settings one hundred times.

I wasn't experiencing any issue with led blinking until Pie. On Oreo, every single notification caused it to blink green. Now on Pie, only a couple apps work. Hangouts being one that doesn't anymore which is a real pain.
I tried using a third party app and it worked kind of but the blinking seems a little erratic and not as smooth.
Noticed that turning screen on when receiving notifications was also removed - at least I cannot see the setting anywhere .

Report this problem to Honor by sending an email to them.

Miatoll. Notification LED only blinks when charging? Not for notifications?

(Miatoll board, curtana device. Talking about that little led in the speaker above the camera.)
Does the LED notification light not work?
Mine only ever shows when the phone is plugged in. I can't get it to flash when I have notifications, even though all settings in Android settings seem to be turned on
bump
same here but i have the uk phone version.. like you say only when charging. ?

did all that and made sure each app i want to notify had led notification...still no blink
Same here. No blink, all settings on
i got someone to message me while in the same room, screen popped up message etc, waited for screen to go into standy... still no blinking light.
Yeah I've done exactly the same test. Doesn't work
rom version is 11.0.6.0 could it be that..? no updates available when i checked today..or a faulty phone, does work when it's charging.
anyone have any joy yet, getting led to work
Not trying to self-promote but there appears to be many threads on this problem so I created a new thread so people can find a possible fix easier.
