I use Hangouts, and I get the phantom blinking LED all the time, usually in the evenings. I'll need to pay closer attention. Sometimes a notification will appear on the lockscreen for a split second when I turn the screen on, but disappears almost immediately, and when I unlock, there are no notifications. This could be related.

Also just noticed that the LED blinks blue every time I turn the screen on, but that's probably by design. Seems pretty pointless though, except maybe for diagnosing when your screen goes out...?
[G4 General] player911:
My LED lights up Teal when I double tap on (solid). It doesn't do anything when I tap it off.

When the bug occurs, you can instantly tell because the Green LED notification will blink Twice Immediately when turning the screen off, then pulse over 15 seconds or so.

It eventually turns itself off. So again I think there is a disconnect between apps turning it on, reading vs dismissing, or something. I haven't really noticed it lately since the last Verizon Update.
[G4 General] clockcycle:
I just had something strange and sounds similar or related. I just happen to.open up thr xda app whem my alarm went off. I pressed snooze, but the alarm keep.on sounding. I noticed the notification on the status bar so I opened it. Pressed snooze. Nothing. Pressed turn off. Not reacting. I notice the led flashing blue. Tried to turn down the volume. Put the phone on vibrate. Turned off/ down all volumes. Alarm still sounding. Had to reboot via power button. Even while it reset the almar was going off and blue led flashing, up until the phone started booting again. It stopped.
[G4 General] TecknoFreak:
Hey mate so I see you jumped the ship as well. Lol good to see you body.
[G4 General] clockcycle:
Lol im using a sony xperia z3, nexus 6 and the f500l. Love all 3. Haha

Yea I got the nexus5 was meh alright, then lg g3, was better. The G4 was the next logical step.

Wondering how the huawei nexus 6 2.0 will be..
[G4 General] STIKID:
so I do not think this is the same issue but maybe someone could tell me if theres a fix or if I should just not worry about it. I have a custom color set and it doesn't seem to light up the proper color until I wake my screen and already see who my notification is from.
[G4 General] player911:
Definitely the wrong thread. I have no experience using custom LED Notification colors. It would appear that you should contact the developer of the app or make a thread in the App/Theme Thread.
[G4 General] STIKID:
Its a stock feature on the g4. Its something you can edit but wasnt sure since this was about the led figured someone here might have experienced it before.

[G4 General] dougmod:
i have the same issue. i do not see the setting for the alarm, as I have no alarms setup in the app. I do have whatsapp but I also tried uninstalling it. Still get the random light!! whyyyyy
[G4 General] player911:
I haven't noticed the random LED lately. I'm sure it still still happens. I did recently get a LG G Watch for dismissing stuff and less time looking at the phone itself.

I am curious if anyone has rooted and flashed the custom System image, if that changed anything.
[G4 General] superbonto:
wow. never crossed my mind that this bug is caused by alarm.

always goes away with a reboot though.
[G4 General] yuvalnes1:
It's getting me crazy

It does happen more in the evenings and i got

a feeling its some how connected with whatsup.

If i restart my mobile it disapers for some time.

I tried closing the whatsup service withno success

Using my AVG. I am on lg g4 lollipop 5.1. Any other

Solution?
[G4 General] toshiuser:
I had a similar issue of flashing LED for no apparent reason.

Goto: Settings > General > About Phone > Update Center > App Update

and see whether on top of the list there's an App to be installed. In my case it was Evernote. I installed it and directly deleted it afterwards since I do not use Evernote. After that it went down to the section of unused Apps and the LED notification stopped.

I don't know whether it's the same case here but perhaps you should give it a try...
[G4 General] yuvalnes1:
I checked and indeed evernote is waiting for download

. i will try your advice and LYK if succeded.

Thanks for your reply
[G4 General] player911:
The verizon doesnt have update center. Mine still does this btw. It eventually stops by itself but super weird.
[G4 General] Rafi1985:
No solution for that.

Poor LG.

Evernote is not the answer, I'm sorry.
[G4 General] toshiuser:
Sorry to hear that this didn't solve your problem. In my case the LED was flashing white, without any apparent reason and deleting Evernote (and updating the other LG apps - if Updates were available) fixed it for me.

Due to other reasons, in the meantime I switched to Light flow, which gives me additional control over LED notifications, like different colour for different apps, individual Flash Rates, and so on. Therefore, I'm no longer using the stock functionality and probably cannot help with your specific problem. I'm sorry.
[G4 General] player911:
Mine always flashes green when it happens. I am going to change the title. Maybe it will get more views.
[G4 General] akyp:
For me, WhatsApp is the worst offender. Actually WhatsApp is the only offender since I don't use the alarm. Seems to happen very easily when I have WhatsApp Web active on my PC. It usually goes away after a few new messages. If it doesn't, force closing WhatsApp will do the trick.
[G4 General] yuvalnes1:
It's workng

I did it and the led flashing is gone now for 13 hrs.

Hope it will stay like this, BTW it would be wise LG

apps would use Google play it might prevent this

mass.

Thx
[G4 General] yuvalnes1:
Held 23 hrs then...

Then after a long whatsup chat it came again, dam.

Looked maybe evernote came again but no just the white

Led flashing.
[G4 General] toshiuser:
Did you check in update center whether another LG app might need an update to be installed?

Health app or health agent are good candidates since they update quite often...

If not, then I'm afraid something else triggers the flashing in your setup...
[G4 General] yuvalnes1:
Checked it and there was nothing new but then i thought

Maybe it's the idle apps from LG i got using the smart

cleaning. Now i have there: Evernote, Lg health, Quickremote

And favorite contacts widjet. All from LG

I also changed the led color of whatsup from white

To purple in order to try decide if its part of problem.

I can say LG keeps us buisy
[G4 General] yuvalnes1:
It's whatsup for sure

Installed back all LG aps and all was ok,

few minutes ago had a whatup chat and there u go.

The purple led is flshingand only whatsup has this

Color since i changed it no long ago.

So now we know who to blame and i guess we shell

To wait for them to find solution.

Thanks for all the help
[G4 General] Rafi1985:
I wrote to what's app about a month ago.

They didn't understand what i mean and just answer "this is problem with your device".

Poor what's app.
[G4 General] player911:
Whatsup has been a frequent issue. But lots of others do not use Whatsup and get a green reoccuring light. Perhaps just bad coding for notifications from several apps.
[G4 General] yuvalnes1:
u may be right but doing a small search on google shows its

Its a known problem some how android oriented after

Lollipop came out and mostly with whatsapp. Maybe

When an app bombards the notification it can't

Follow.

I know for sure my problem is whatsapp and since i changed

The LED color then i know what to ignor.

Have a nice day
[G4 General] Tattsdad:
I found this solution to work. At least for me it is. Double tap the status bar to turn off the screen everytime to stop this issue. Or when the led is blinking just unlock the screen and double tap the status bar to turn it off. Using stock launcher btw.
[G4 General] yuvalnes1:
Didn't work for me ?
[G4 General] larsdennert:
The Verizon visual voicemail app will flash the LED green twice (as I recall) if you have unread VM's EVEN WITHOUT A NOTIFICATION in the shade. Possibly other apps have this capability.
[G4 General] Rafi1985:
Looks like it's work to me.

Need to check it again in real time.
[G4 General] Joolz03:
This works for me. Thanks!
[G4 General] Rafi1985:
Now please, LG, can u solve this issue?

Tnx, we are really appreciate that.
[G4 General] saeed14i:
Worked fine for me. Good work. Thank you :thumbup:
[G4 General] player911:
Pretty neat idea. I will try it next time it gets stuck.
[G4 General] jbdan:
Fwiw, I found out using a particular weather app that had notification alerts (like a storm or bad air quality) caused my LED to keep blinking. Even though that alert did not make a notification sound nor put a alert icon in the status bar.
[G4 General] Carl24:
The official app for Twitter is the only one that I have noticed is bugging my LED Notification.

I went into Sound & Notification-->Apps and disabled its notification.

Since I did that, the LED is been working great without problems.
[G4 General] player911:
I dont think any 1 particular app is the cause as lots cause it to stick. Perhaps LG is using an old method or something to determine if notifications are present. I can confirm that turning the screen off with the status bar works.

By chance is anyone using a 3rd party launcher?
[G4 General] croshad:
I'm getting it as well. Exclusively after receiving a group message on Whatsapp, every time. Double tapping the status bar helps but i haven't been able to get rid of the problem yet.
[G4 General] Dominikkbc:
I have lg g4 stylus and the red notification light just doesn't wanna stop working. I tried all the things you said, it's still not fixed. Help please
[G4 General] Furion91:
Same here. I bought an LG G4 3 days ago and this happened 2 times. Both times i needed to reboot my phone to make the LED stop. And both times it happened after i used Whatsapp, so i thought Whatsapp causes it. But it seems to be LG's problem. I have to try the status bar solution, although it's not a real solution it can surely help if it works.

Edit: I've tried to lock the screen by double-tapping the status bar, but the LED notification still stucks. By the way, it happens with different apps, for example it stucks with both Whatsapp and Telegram, which have different LED colours (Whatsapp flashes green, Telegram flashes blue). So i really think the problems is with LG notification software, it's like the phone thinks that you didn't read the notification you just red.

Any solution seems to work, so I just hope that with Android 6.0 (or any other update) they'll fix this.
[G4 General] serhii:
I'm having the stuck green led notification for whatsapp, but my trick to clear it is different.

I'm using llama and it places an ongoing notification without icon to keep it running. If I use this notification to enter llama the led stops blinking.

Maybe the stuck led issue is related to apps that use ongoing notifications.

Do you have ongoing notifications running when the led gets stuck?
[G4 General] player911:
No one has figured it out. I think it is LGs software not talking to the Android notification system properly. It did this on my LG G2 too that started when I upgraded to Lollipop.
[G4 General] skyline72:
I got this issue since I first got my G4.

It only happens to me for whatsapp. Other messaging app like line, kik doesn't have this issue.

Sounds weird.
[G4 General] angerscot:
LED off - LED on

After trying the alarm clock solution with no success, I've come with another solution that worked for me.

Just added the LED option in the Quick Ribbon, on the notification panel, and when the issue appears, just turn off and then on the LED, and it will be solved.

Hope it works for you too! :good:

[G4 General] player911:
I haven't noticed the LED issue in a while.
[G4 General] nizmo_man:
Double-tapping the notification bar seems to have cleared it up for me (otherwise got blinking green colour).
[G4 General] sqlpro:
I bought G4 few weeks back and have this problem as well! LED still blinks even after clearing the notification. I am running 5.1.1

[G4 General] sqlpro:
Hi

are you saying, doubling tapping notification removes stuck LED? BTW i am also MM right now. Thanks.
[G4 General] xdanon:
Hi, for those who use Tasker;

I've solved the problem with Tasker, no root needed. You'll need to download Notification Listener, which is a plugin for Tasker.

Tasker: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&hl=en

Notification Listener: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.balda.notificationlistener&hl=en

I've tested this for weeks, it works.

The settings:

Create a profile, name it anything you want. This will be used for the app notification that will trigger the LED (You will have to create a profile for each app that you want LED for).

- Event- UI - Notification

Application: Whatsapp (

OR

any other app you use that you want to see LED notification)​

- Add Task (name it anything you want):

Action- Notification Pulse​

Set: On​

Create another profile, name it anything you want. This will be used for when the notification is read, swiped away, or closed (The settings for this is different, it allows you to specify several apps you want LED for at once).

- Event - Plugin - Notification Listener

Notification event: Removed​

Apps: Whatsapp (

AND

any other app you use that you want to see LED notification)​

- Add Task (name it anything you want):

Action- Notification Pulse​

​

Set: Off​

[Note: This whole thing is to set LED to enabled ONLY when it is there is notification from the app(s) and disable after the app notification is removed from status bar. The Task only enables/disables LED for Downloaded apps. LED notifications for Incoming call, Missed call & messages, and Battery charging will not affected. ]
[G4 General] Riardon:
This happens to me only with WhatsApp. The only way to get around it is restart the phone. Never happened to me in any other occasion except WhatsApp.

Proximity sensor on my phone doesn't work. Whenever I get a call or make a call, the screen goes black. Then after the call ends, the screen comes back.

Things I have done so far to solve the issue, but didn't work:

1. Blown air through earpiece.

2. Cleaned the proximity sensor by opening the phone.

3. When I dial *#*#7269#*#*, nothing happens.

4. Tried apps like, "Hardware Disabler", "Screebl", "Proximity Screen Off", etc.

5. There is no option like "proximity off", in settings.

How can I disable proximity sensor?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sac02:
What is the best/most thorough way to back up my device before Odin'ing new ROMs? I'm preparing to do this for the fist time.

Pics/videos: easy, I can manually copy to computer, manually replace when on new OS.

Contacts: sync'd to Google gmail cloud, will populate once new OS is installed.

Apps: Mostly just re-download the apps that I want (this will be a good way to purge apps I don’t use anymore)

I also made a copy of the entire /system/apps folder manually, but I don't know if that will even be useful if I need it.

Question: will the apps I’m currently using (4.2.2 OS) even work on Lollipop ROM if I was to reinstall my current .apk manually onto the new OS?

What about app data? Is that stored somewhere else if I want to save it? (I have several apps that I would want to save data/progress)

SMS/MMS: do I need to get an app to backup SMS/MMS (I see lots of options on the Play store), or can I do this manually?

Call log history: same question as above.

Other phone settings – will this even be relevant once I change my OS from 4.2.2 to Lollipop?

Wifi settings? Chrome bookmarks, passwords?

Is there anything else I need to back up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Buccanero:

I backed up with SafeStrap and when I went to my new ROM I just restored the data partition and got all of my MMS/Text data, apps, game progress, etc. back. Obviously if you restore the system partition you`ll be right back where you started. Even kept my data across three bootloop situations that arose from outdated file downloads and an Odin reflash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sac02:
Bucanero, Thanks for the link, that certainly could come in handy for what I plan to do.

Jeff, you raise a question I had not yet realized - the first step in my plan (after doing all this manual backing up) had been to use Odin to flash a rootable ROM, that I could then upgrade (and keep root) to Lollipop, and THEN install safestrap to begin the custom ROM experience.

Should I install safestrap NOW and use it to back everything up? I'm thinking maybe yes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
DON'T DO ANYTHING YET! What version of 4.2.2 are you on? Mdb, mdl, or mf3? Look at the last three characters of your buildnumber in settings, more, about device. You need to do some more research. You don't flash custom roms with Odin (and there is not rootable lollipop rom). You may also not need/want to use safestrap depending on what version of 4.2.2 you're on.

Edit, forgot I saw you here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=61279434

Best thing for backup is let Google backup your apps and data, contacts, passwords, etc. Pics, music, etc, backup to your pc. Sms/mms, try sms backup and restore.

If you let Google backup your apps and data, when you re-setup your device and sign into your Google account they will be restored.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] VoodooJeff:
I`m sure there are people on here with deeper answers, but Safestrap has saved my a$$ plenty of times. The cool thing is that it will save the backup file to your SD card, so you flash the new system, lose safestrap, reinstall it and BAM, there is your preserved backup. The S4 is such a fickle device, and as pointed out there are firmware versions that don`t play nice with mods. The link I used to get mine to cooperate had a whole crapload of links to get from pretty much any base to any other, but some of the procedures are pretty convoluted.

I'm on 4.2.2, MF3. So I'm pretty sure I need to rely on Odin/safestrap - since I'm MF3, I can't use loki like MDB or MDL right?

I've looked around a little, but most of the posts are a little old referring to this topic. I have a child that is staying home for a few hours each day during the summer and would like to be able to communicate with them. I got a cheap flip phone for them at one point and it was never used so I don't really want to pay $ each month to add a line to my cell phone plan. I'm looking into adding a home phone or just getting a cheap smart phone and using VOIP apps to make it work since the child is around wifi all the time.

I'm looking for suggestions on VOIP apps (IE. GrooVe IP Lite Free Calls, etc.). Something that will allow free calls and texts to mobile phones in the US. I'm also looking for suggestions on good budget phones (sub $200) that will have some longevity to it. If I feel there is a need I would like to have the possibility to add it to the T-Mobile network.

NOTE:

Hello guys!

I had been searching on Google to root via stock recovery, and i had made a zip which can be flashed through stock recovery but it was failed due to it was not signed using official key (which is not possible to get).

So i had created a tool (bat file) which can be used to yureka and yuphoria to root without unlocking bootloader and without any custom recovery.

Basically it uses adb push to device for root.

So here are the steps !

Download the zip file 'Root without UBL.zip' (Which is not flashable). LINK REMOVED BY VECTUS Beta version

Extract it.

You will get two folders 'META INF' and 'Root without UBL'. (Optional : You can delete META INF which is a signature)

Now go to 'Root without UBL' folder and Run 'Root.bat' file

Follow the instructions thats it YOU HAVE ROOTED :D
