Help Pulse notification light

[captainham]

I didn't have the pulse notification light working on my Pixel, even though it was all enabled. I got in touch with the Live Chat support folks (very impressed with that by the way!), who suggested restarting phone into Safe Mode; this disables all 3rd party apps, in case one of them was interfering with the notification.

The light immediately started working, and continued working after I rebooted back into regular mode, so no idea what the problem was there.

Although having said that, Inbox ix still not notifying via light, so I'm currently experimenting with that as it seems to be an Inbox-specific app issue so far.

Anyone else got the light working with Inbox app?

Ok, the lack of pulse notification on Inbox is (semi) solved. It only works if I've also got vibration turned on, in addition to the pulse notification light setting.

Not the end of the world of course, but would prefer not to have vibration notification on. Ah well, maybe it will be fixed in a future release of Inbox.

Wow, I didn't even know it had one. Thanks! (this was also helpful in my case: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-enable-google-pixels-led-notification-light)

You're welcome. Yeah I found that link originally and turned it on in the menu, but it still wouldn't work for some reason. But then rebooting into Safe Mode seemed to blow some cobwebs away somewhere and now working.
