Hi,

Has anyone noticed issues with the Samsung Galaxy S8+ led not working after the recent update. Mine's not working at all. Restart didn't help. Tried debug mode *#0*# and tested LED. GotNothing. Not sure if this is a heardware issue and whether I need to take it back to the store.

Cheers,

Hi @Sasman

I've had a look online to see any potential fix, but you have already tried *#0*# and still nothing. You can take it into your local Optus store, or can contact Samsung support on: 1300 362 603 between

Thanks mate. It's not really a big deal but I've organised to take it to the George St store. Don't really use the led function but just found it odd. Apparently there has been a few phones with faulty led from what I've read in some forums. Just can't be without a phone for a long time hence my reluctance to send it back.

Hi @Sasman

Of course not, i'd hate to be without my handset also =)

If you want, you can check with Samsung also, hopefully they can suggest something for you without having to send it back *fingers crossed*, but see how you go.

Cheers.

Hi Mate,

Samsung Galaxy S8 Led Notification Not Working

Just an update. I took the phone to a Samsung store and they thought the LED light was faulty and wanted to repair it. They said it might take 2 weeks. Since lack of a light was not an issue, I didn't bother to get it repaired. Today I received a Samsung firmware update with the June security patch and the phone rebooted. And guess what happened. The blue light started flashing!! It’s now working perfectly..Weird. I checked other forums around the world and seems like people who received the new update it also magically fixing the S8 notification LED problem. Doesn't look like 3rd party notification apps are actually frying the LED as most folks had thought but they are causing problems which hard resets doesn't fix and debug test mode tends to show as the LED has failed. I'll stay away from 3rd party notification light apps for now on the Galaxy S8.
