Because I turned it on in settings but it does not work.
Only when receiving phone calls and during gaming for me.
Interesting. I have the option for notifications. It just doesn't work.

My device does indeed light up the LED panel in the rear when I receive a text message or any other notification for that matter. However I can not choose the color, it lights up green.
Only all is working in China Room. It has gestures and is more complete than global one.
Is there a link for the Chinese rom? Perhaps we can extract the apk?

I am running cm10 as well and my notification light is working fine (although it seems all the custom colors I try to create just end up looking white.... Just messed with the settings and i was making the color too dark, now the colors look great!) and it should have been active from the start. Go to settings -> display -> and then notification light and make sure it is enabled, then from there you can tweak the color settings.
Yeah blinks once and then it doesn't blink anymore! :/

Anyone else have any ideas it's supposed to blink continuously until you open your phone right if there is a missed message you have not checked?

Download Lightflow and you can customize the colors, frequency and other sounds associated with notifications and calls. It also overrides the default notification lights for apps so you don't have to worry about getting multiple colours for a notification.

Thanks for the tip I actually installed aokp works perfect!

Has anyone got a picture or video of the P780 notification LED? What colour does the light flash and is it big and bright like a Samsung Galaxy Note II or small and tiny like a Huawei Ascend P6?
Looked on YouTube and lots of reviews but nobody showing the notification light.
Also, does anyone have a link to the full user manual? Can only find the basic one on the Lenovo website.

Thanks Jackal331. Does the LED work for email and WhatsApp? I have stock ROW_119 installed and the LED only lights for missed calls and sms. Can't get it to light with anything else and no apps (like Lightflow) work with it either.

So far, I tested the LED, it only works for Calls, SMS, WeChat, Charging mode, all other else doesn't lit up. (Facebook, LINE, KakaoTalk, WhatsApp, Gmail etc...)

Thanks Soralz. Which ROM are you using? Don't know why Lenovo disable WhatsApp and Email LED notification
Maybe notification LED is fixed in S123 ROM or future KitKat 4.4 upgrade.
I will test this and let you know, I don't make use of the led very much. Will test FB and Gmail, I'm on SLX rom, it has many tweaks also GravityBox maybe it works there dunno.
is the notification led really very dim? is there any 3rd party app that can control it?

The LED is not so dim but it is inside the earpiece so angles are not as good as a BlackBerry or Galaxy Note 2 which you can see from across the room. However, the P780 LED is bigger than the one in the HTC One which has a tiny LED like a speck of dust which is pretty much useless.
Because the LED is inside the earpiece, you can put a case on and still see notifications which is good. I think the LED is fine for brightness but the big problem is that it only lights up for missed calls and sms and charging. It doesn't light for emails or facebook or whatsapp and I haven't found any app that can even lit up the LED let alone control it.
There are some custom ROMs that can control the LED using Light Flow such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/development/aosp-rom-lenovo-p780-t2722977 and http://www.needrom.com/mobile/lenovo-p780-6/.
I will try Light Flow again tonight using the settings in those ROM, the LED must be controllable somehow, it's stupid having LED with no email or facebook or whatsapp notification
yes, email notification is a must for the led,
also notice it doesn't blink, just light up, what a waste

Don't mind if it doesn't blink, as long as it comes on, thats fine.
Ok, I downloaded Lightflow Lite from the Play Store to test and this works if you use the HTC direct mode in Lightflow settings. This makes the LED blink in test mode BUT if you switch the screen off, it stops flashing. I think there is a power setting somewhere to keep Lightflow active when the screen is locked but the app doesn't show in the Lenovo power app whitelist.
Also, with HTC direct mode, there is no choice of colours for the LED, you are limited to just green which is fine by me but definitely need to have the LED lighting up when the screen is off. Will continue playing around with it to see if I can get it working.
Just updated to stock 124 and the LED still doesn't work
Why don't Lenovo fix this simple thing? Samsung, LG, HTC, everyone lese has the LED lighting up on all events and Lenovo have to ruin a great phone by buggy implementation
Have been messing around the Lightflow and can confirm that Gmail works if you have root and HTC Direct mode enabled. Doesn't work at all with standard Lenovo Email app though.
is it possible to enable the light if a whatsapp message has arrived
is it possible to enable the light if a whatsapp message has arrived?
the light was hopeless
i use application like NoLed (free at gplay) to make a notification in the screen
it works and can be customised
another app like this is knock2, its free and also have a paid version

The light is not bright like a Blackberry and has no viewing angles but it's not at all bad, the good thing is that it is in the earpiece so you can still see it even with a cover on. I prefer a proper LED to something like NoLed which will switch on the whole screen to make a notification and drain the battery.

is this the same on other devices with the same version of viber, if no then i do believe it could be something to do with the Z2s hardware and we may not be able to do anything about it
(try playing with any notifacation settings.
Thank You.
I played with settings and then restarted the device also, from whatsapp settings I activated the notification light option.... finally its working
I would ONLY like the LED notification to light up Red when charging or turn Green when the battery is fully. I cant stand the other LED notifications blinking especially at night, it bugs the crap outta me plus I used AOD so I don't need the LED notification also. Anyway to do this? Thanks.
you could try the Light Manager app in play store, ive been using it since march and plenty of options for you to turn off mail, messages, calls mms etc i really enjoy the app and it works beautifully

I feel the same. What I did was just block notification access to the light from apps that I don't want to know about, like email. I get email all the time, I don't need a light to blink to tell me I have new emails. So I blocked the notification light access to email.

I will try this app, but the thought of having another app in the background always running makes me cringe.

How exactly do you block the notification light access to certain apps? Or do you mean you can just block that one notification from your certain email app?
Hello, how did u menage to activate led notification for missed call or sms?
mine only works with viber...
ty in advance

go to "Settings", try to find "Notification", in result it is "Application and Notification->Notification", 3rd row is switch for LED

Settings>>apps & notifications>>notifications
I did that and still no led notification, only on viber it works :|
Any update on this? Does it work for everybody/somebody/no one? I tried SMS and Gmail notifications - Ambient display turns on, but LED stays off. It seems that the only time when it's glowing is during charging.
led notification works for Instagram, WhatsApp, telegram
Not working for "missed calls".

Yesterday I noticed the LED, but it was only for gmail. SMS messages still nothing. The phone is on the lastest 100% stock EU ROM. Reading topics on MI forum, more people are having the same issue. If I remember correctly, Mi A1 had initially similar problems, but it got fixed after few updates. I guess it's just Xiaomi thing.. When I get another phone for myself, I'll try to check it in more details with root.
