Got a nice and complete answer to my support request on the 28th of Feb: “At the moment the LED notification for Fairphone 3 is only dedicated to charging statuses. It is unfortunately not a feature to assign LED colors to notifications or other statuses. We are reporting every feedback we receive to our developers for possible future implementations.
Right now the team is investigating the possibility to integrate it in the next updates.
We don’t know exactly when this feature will be implemented and we cannot guarantee 100% that it will happen.”
So, the good news is that they’re looking at it, which I really appreciate. And I’m sure we’ll get updated if the feature will get implemented. Or we’ll notice after updating
My last two phones had no led notifications unlike the older Samsung phones and I got used to it and don’t miss it anymore. You can use an app that alerts you of missed calls and messages, for example the missed call reminder app.
Hi,
so I switched to Linage OS 16 yesterday, because I am having reboot issues (while phoning) and try to figure out whether it is a software or hardwarebug. (And I was curious if a GSI - Curstomrom works).
With Linage, the notification LEDS are working.
BUT: I am really annoyed of the blinking after using the FP3 without it (funny!) As said in an older post: I do not bother whether they are working or not. (they are “additional-stress-makers” to me)
I couldn’t agree more. After not having them, I’m now really keen to disable them if Fairphone ever do implement a change. I’ve disabled loads of notifications, and I’ll get to them in my own time!
Did you change any settings? For me the LED is not workeing either. I have the new settings in the notification settings, i.e. I can switch LED blinking on/off, but I do not get any LED blinking not from FairMail, not from Signal and not from Stock Messages App - that’s what I tested.
Follow-Up for those using FairEMail like me - notification LED is a bit tricky there:
Go to FairEMail Settings
Slide to Notifications
Tap on “Service Channel”
Make sure that LED blinking is enabled under advanced settings.
/me is happy
I was again too fast - this enables service notifications, and those don’t go away after receiving an email. So, obviously with FairEMail there’s some problem: I’ve switched on all notifications available with LED on, but I don’t get it blinking for a new mail… any Ideas?
