[LG G6 Questions and Answers] HKSpeed:
i prefer LED notification light over AOD.

Does the G6 have the ability to vibrate to alert you of a missed notification? Samsung phones will vibrate when you pick up the phone to notify you of a missed notification. Is that a Samsung only feature?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ChazzMatt:
Agreed. Better to have "too many" hardware specs than too few.

Like the people who say to move on from 3.5mm jack. YOU move on. I want to still use it. With a headset jack, YOU can use Bluetooth ear buds all you want. It's not either/or. You can have both! Use what you want, but nice to have a choice.

Or Qi wireless charging. I use that every day since 2013. For the people that don't want it, don't take it away from me. No one is forcing you to use it, but it's a nice convenience. Yes, I plug in some times. Again, not either/or where you can't have both choices available.

For those who don't want to use an LED notification, turn it off. For those of us who like it, it's a nice feature I miss.

I didn't buy an LG G6 for several reasons but the missing LED notification sure didn't help. Maybe I'll buy an LG G7 if they don't regionalize specs again, and since they're going to AMOLED.

Maybe they'll even add LED notification...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] evo4g63t:
My biggest complaint with the v20, the secondary is supposed to substitute for it but a flashing light is much more useful than looking to see if I got a new notification icon that looks like all my other icons.

He is trolling.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MrDeacon:
He better be. In my humble opinion, it would seem ignorant to dismiss a phone as good as the G6 on the sole reason of it not having a notification LED.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ASW1:
I shat my pants somewhat when I found out that the G6 that I just bought didn't have a notification light!

Thought I'd have to bring it back as I wouldn't want to live without one.

But then there's the always on display that also shows notifications.

I've grown to like it as there's no more nervously blinking lights that demand attention, just a quiet visual display that is much easier to ignore when I choose to. It's also great when you use it as a time keeping piece.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Dork6243:
There's a red glow coming from the sensor next to the speaker grill when AOD is active. Is this common with light/proximity sensors?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] romcio47:
Mine acted the same with AOD On. It's fine.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] biron_w:
I was a bit upset when I found out it didn't have a notification LED but I think AOD is pretty good in fairness. It doesn't actually use that much battery (I think LG said it was 0.5% an hour) either. My only issue is that I now have a custom ROM on my phone and AOD isn't working with custom ROMs yet.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Al3xxxinho:
The red glow is the IR proximity sensor looking if the phone is in the pocket or not. If you cover the sensor the AOD screen will be turned off. That is why you see the red glow
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] GenghisKhan67:
I really wanted to like this phone, but I am going to swap it for the S8. I never thought about how much I relied on the notification LED for messaging. AOD is crap, my eyesight isn't that great and I can't see anything from more than a couple of feet away.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] dwasifar:
I came to this thread just to find out how there could be almost a hundred posts in response to a simple yes or no question.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] DesktopMasters:
Solution...

Someone had mentioned to use the Built in OS feature for hearing impaired.. that was done VERY poorly. This confuses me really.. You would think Google with all their amazing programmers would do that one feature really well...

Anyhow... This App will allow you to use the flash to notify you with a lot of good control features...

Light Flow - LED Control

(I had a link here but the forums are preventing me from posting links. So you will just have to search the store for it yourself on google play.. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] martmarq:
There is a solution to use Tasker and the AlwaysOnDisplay as substitue for the missing LED.

https://xdaforums.com/lg-g6/how-to/alwaysondisplay-aod-substitue-missing-t3698336
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] DesktopMasters:
I understand that Tasker is an automation tool. However that post does not make it clear what exactly they are accomplishing.. Is this just turning on the AoD? Because the AoD is very dim and hard to spot from across the room much less in a well lit room. However the Flash I can spot from anywhere... and is actually an LED. (:

Now if they figured out how to make a graphical representation of a bright LED appear on the AoD I would be interested in that.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] vitoski:
The solution proposed in the link is for enabling/disabling AOD based on the received/cleared notification.

When there are no received notifications the screen is completely dark. Once the notification is received it turns on the AOD.

It's pretty simple to distinguish if you have any missed notification or not, once you get use to it.

Moreover you can combine this with brighter AOD option that is in the system, so it can be even easier to spot.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Cooterstain:
The sound quality is really good. And despite its quirks I think the g6 is very decent phone. Even running the same chip set as the g5 it is a very fast phone. I play Kotor and cod zombies on it all the time and fps is incredible. The phone itself takes a min or two to get use to but thats usually the case with lg as they try to separate themselves from Samsung so the OS is deigned a bit strange. I personally dont care for Samsung so its my go to choice. And as far as the notification light, its not a huge loss. The always on display works well and is highly customizable.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] carmelitabulletfight:
I found this link, apparently, you are able to turn on the LED notifications, my phone doesn't have that option but you can also set it for your camera flash to flash when you receive a text etc. I hope this helps. I got my phone 2 days ago and find that not having the notification LED is very annoying I might have to exchange it.

Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing > LED Notifications or in my case Flash Alerts

I hope that helps.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] DesktopMasters:
This is not new information. It has been stated a few times in this thread. It does not work very well. One would think that google would be interested in making this feature more configurable for the impaired people that require it. If you are not looking at your phone at the time the message comes in you will never know it has. As I previously stated the following app does a much better job of this...

"Light Flow - LED Control"
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] GeddyLee69:
Hi all

I understand that the new LG G6 doesn't have the notification light but there are 2 different ways to get something to notify you.

Ist is you can set up for your camera flash to go on and off-not my favorite,2nd is the one I like-when my phone is idle I have the date and time set up on the screen and if a new message comes in it shows the text icon beside the battery level.

Hope it helps and this might have already been said but I couldn't find these solutions any where.

Cheers

That doesn't mean it has LED. All that probably means is it's flashing an alert on the display.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] fegitoli:
There is definitely NOT a notification LED on this phone. I inspected the phone very closely when I first got it and was disappointed that it didn't have one. The LED flash thing in accessibility I assume just flashes the light between the two rear cameras. Additionally, digging around in the settings reveals no sign of a notification LED. I guess the idea in removing it was to get people to use the Always-On Display.

Hi guys!

You can donate to me https://www.paypal.me/penvineeth and [MENTION=5305255]cerg2010cerg2010[/MENTION] through paypal.

Disclaimer:

No more secure boot error! :D

I thank my friend [MENTION=5305255]cerg2010cerg2010[/MENTION] for helping me out in patching the aboot.

-> Steps:

(1) Downgrade to v10f version of Android.

(2) Root your device.

(3) Download this patched aboot file. Click Here

(4) Connect your phone to the computer. In command prompt, type "adb shell".

(5) Transfer the aboot file into /sdcard/ folder.

(6) Type "su" to enter the root shell. Then type "dd if=/sdcard/aboot_v10f.bin of=/dev/block/<your aboot partition>".

(7) Restart your phone by typing "reboot".

You have unlocked your bootloader!

If you get a black screen there is a problem with your recovery.

For more detailed guide. Follow this by [MENTION=5843374]Korelev[/MENTION].

Refer Notes for more information.

-> Notes:

1) The aboot_v10f.bin is the patched version of aboot partition of your device. Secure boot validation has been patched such that secure boot is always valid, so you can flash your own TWRP and Custom ROM.

2) Don't upgrade to any updated version of Android if you get any through OTA update. It might brick your device.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Korelev:
Hi there! I tried your method an followed fobos explanation to found the required block (which is mmcblk0p5 in this case) but i'm still getting secure boot error when I try to get into TWRP, as far as I understand that shouldn't happen.

any ideas of what can I do to?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
Did you downgrade your firmware as I told you in the guide?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
First you have to flash the patched aboot and then flash TWRP. [MENTION=1345678]Fobos[/MENTION] needs to correct it.

After you finish flashing the TWRP. Run these commands on terminal/command line:

adb shell
su
cd /cache/recovery/
echo "--show_text" >> command
chmod 644 command
reboot recovery

I used the same method on my phone. It works!

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Fobos531:
I'm trying this right now and seems to hang for me when I reboot into recovery.

edit: I'm able to boot into the system normally. Will try to reboot into recovery again.

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] mayankjet:
Im also getting a black screen. How did you fix that, seems like an issue with twrp itself, right ?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Korelev:
SEEMS to be so, I can't confirm because I just found out CWM boots, but probably since many people reported the same according to fobos

anyway, no secure boot error so I guess we're fine

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Fobos531:
To check the exact path to your aboot partition:

Connect your phone to your PC with USB and launch ADB. Type "adb shell" to access the phone's shell, type "su" to get root access, and then type "ls -al /dev/block/platform/7824900.sdhci/by-name/" (I think that's the correct command, can't exactly remember the folder structure on Lolipop since I'm on Marshmallow now) and the command will tell you the exact path to your aboot partition, for example in my case it is: /dev/block/mmcblk0p5. It should be the same for you, but it might differ as far as I'm aware.
