LED notification apps - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
For a few months now (since I have S6) I'm trying to find a working app, that would manage my LED notifications. I've tried Light Manager, Led Blinker, Lightflow....
But I have a common issue with all of them. Once I have a new message/missed call/new email LED starts to blink with the color defined in the app settings, that's fine. But if I read that email e.g. on my laptop, the notification won't disappear. Even worse, when I get new message or have a missed call, I open the app (default messaging app) and read the message or see the phone logs - the notifiction will still stay in the notification bar. And then, once the display dimms, LED will start to blink again.
This all is not happening if I don't use app to manage LED. So it has to do something with those apps settigns....or I don't know. Am I missing something, some settings....?
This was not happening on my S4.
I would be so grateful for any help.

LED notification

Hello everyone,
has anyone had success using applications to customize the LED notification light with the stock ROM ?
The stock settings screen (Settings->LED settings) only allows to set notifications for SMS, missed calls and new emails with the email client (not gmail).
It works fine, at least for missed calls and SMS (the light turns on as expected).
I have tried a bunch of applications (Gmail notifier, blink, Lightflow, LED Tester) and could not get the notification LED to turn on with any of these apps.
Am I missing something ? Is the SK4G different than every other phone ?

It is different because there are actually 2 LEDs instead of one so that is probably what causes those apps to not work. I don't know how hard it would be to implement more LED options into a custom ROM but I have let AYOTEDDY know that would be a nice feature so hopefully we will see something in the future

[Q] Handcent Constant Notification

Love Handcent, however notifications don't seem to work how I would like them to. I close pop up window, clear notification bar, however unread messages pop back up in notification bar and led starts blinking again after screen timesout to off. Only way I get the led to stop blinking is by marking message read, which I don't always want to do, as I might forget. No other sms notifications on in other apps are active.
Anyone know of settings to make it so the led does not re-blink on screen timeout after closing pop up window (preferred method), or clearing notification bar? I like seeing the green line next to sms for later when I get an actual moment to reply.

how to use LightFlow??

I downloaded and installed Lightflow to control my LED but I feel really stupid. I go into the app and designate which apps get what colors and when ever I get notifications, the LED never stops flashing. even if i check and reply to a hangouts/sms message, the LED continues to flash GREEN (the color I chose for sms)
I thought that the LED would stop flashing if I either A. swiped the notification away from the notification bar, or B. read or read and replied to it.
same goes for Gmail and Facebook and MIssed calls. LED always flashes the color I chose and never goes away despite calling back, replying to the email etc...
what am I doing wrong?

Yes, settings -> display and there should be notification led or notification light. For me it is the last entry but I have german language.
But it uses only 3 colors.
I tryed to change the color for text messages but if i chose another color the notofication led would not show any reaction.
Ok thanks.
But it works only when the phone is not connected to the charger.
Hi,
As far as I know, LED colors are : green, red, yellow some people manage to get white, I didn't.
You can use Lightmanager to deal with the LED. It's working.
You can also use the builtin led notification in some apps like Handcent, WhatsApp ...
Whith the EMUI notification, I only manage to get green.
Indeed when the phone is charging, the charging notification is shown and no other notifications can be displayed.
My notification led doesn't work when I get notifications from facebook or facebook messenger, although notification led is turned on in settings and is also turned on in facebook app.
I'm not sure but I thought it worked in the beginning. I've tried light manager to change the color for various notifications and now i don't get the led to flash when I get facebook / facebook messenger notifications (I'm not sure if it worked before I tried light manager).
I've also tried a factory reset of my honor 6, but still the led doesn't blink. With whatsapp and other notifications, the led works.
Can somebody confirm this problem or can somebody confirm that the led works normal with facebook at his honor 6?
Any solution suggestions for this problem?
I've got an H60-L04, original with EMUI 3.0, not rooted

No notifications?

I haven't been receiving any notifications over the last few days, whether its email/text or whatever, the phone doesn't vibrate/sound like normal, just a quick split second vibration but no notification led or sound. Nothing shows up in the status bar either, but if i go into the app i can see the new email or text.
What's going on? Haven't seen an issue like this before.
Never mind, i must of disabled led blinker pro notifications for some reason, works now.
