Question Led notification light

[phaleg]

Howdy!

I am trying to set that when I receive a message, it will show a small notification light on the mobile, like I used to have on previous android, but cannot find any option for it...
Is it possible that a so modern phone does not have it?

Thanks

There's physically no led notification light anywhere on the phone that could light up.
You can search for apps on the Play Store that sort of try to imitate having one, but afaik none of them work reliably anymore.

"lackness"
I'm fairly sure that it's been dropped industry-wise for many many years now, much like the 3.5mm jack.
Ambient/Always-on-Display is sort of a replacement for having a notification light though, might want to look deeper into configuring it. I think there's also 3rd party apps that let you configure your AOD even further.

You can be right again, maybe I am old fashioned but I found it useful.
I initially deactivated the AOD for reducing distractions, but I can activate it again if this is only way to see notification without pushing power button to activate screen again

Don't get me wrong, I used to be an absolute sucker for an led notification light.

Keep in mind that AOD and Ambient Display aren't the same. AOD, as the name suggests, keeps the screen always on, whereas Ambient Display just wakes the screen whenever you receive a notification. I only have the latter turned on.

most phones now doesn't have big bezels not only 6a. so where will you put that notification light? the best you can do.. use a rom with an oldschool feature, that will blink flashlight for notification. like this..

 

[Lada333]

common sense, most phones now doesn't have big bezels not only 6a. so where will you put that notification light?

There are actually several phones out that also don't have big bezels but there's a tiny notification led hidden behind/next to the earpiece. Common sense.

I use this app:

You can configure it so that it 'flashes' only a few times when a notification comes in. So far I haven't noticed any battery drain.

It's still working on my device so i'm not sure i understand your "quit working" remark. Granted, it hasn't been updated in almost a year.

Thanks! What I have to set for the option of the AOD?
When I click it, it brings me to display settings and it is already ON for all notifications. I tried to untick and set back, no change
Without that, it does not proceed XD

Not sure how you managed to quote me on that message, as it was not posted by me, but by @IkkeZelf1000.

My settings in aodNotify are set under general / always on display operation mode: don't show
in the device settings the always on display is turned on.
I hope I understood your question correctly...

Not intentionally... I quoted 2, but created 3 lines, I tried to remove yours but without success for the tag part

Already suggested but 1 more vote for HoleyLight.

Chainfire is a community member and respected dev and the app is pretty configurable. Should probably cover your needs nicely.
