Notification LED like Blackberrys

I'm wondering if the galaxy nexus has a notification LED like blackberrys have.
Some sources say yes other say no.
I'd love to get this awesome device with a LED.

That's the answer I hoped to hear.
Thank you.
The position at the bottom is quite nice.

Someone know if the led can be of different colors, like the Nexus One's one ?

From what I've heard it will be a RGB notification light, just like in the N1.

Me too
But, is known if the phone must be rooted to change the led's color? or is a standard feature of ICS ?

Don't think we are going to know until someone has a chance to go through all the ICS settings. I wouldn't put them past it though, as it was a pretty in demand feature even back when the N1 was released.

I'm thinking about a hack to make the LED run permanently in your favourite colour, I'm sure it would look really nice

I doubt you will need to root to change the led color.

I am so happy there's an LED like the N1.
I'm not sure I can imagine using a phone without one now.

I know it's a bit off topic.
Does rooting increases the security level?
I think yes because every root requestion needs to be allowed by me. Is that right or am I wrong?

Without root this questions are not shown, that's right. But without root this not shown questions are always answered with NO by the system! The security level is higher without root, because you cannot grant root to an app which might not do (only) what you expect.

As far as I know there's been no details announced about colours

It's really brighter than that photo shows.

i think that will be orange and green (charger/notification)

Htc should have used a multicolored light , as cool as the galaxy nexus

Because there were no notifications?

I hope this notification is light is better than the one on their other devices. The LED on the Desire HD is pathetic. Why can't they make one like RIM devices have? Can anyone who has seen the device comment on this?

Because while it is useful, It looks little ugly... well that's just my personal view..
I really liked Nexus One notification trackball and Galaxy Nexus notification light..
HTC should come out with something creative

if it's green. i am gonna cry.

It is pretty pathetic. very small just showing through a single hole in the speaker grill as the pictures above show.
Yes, it's only Green and amber as per all HTC phones.
I prefer the way they've done it on the V to be honest.

one of the few thing s i hate about htc is the fact that they never implement this..
on a side note.. htc one x has capacitance buttons instead of softkeys in the screen..
what if for future htc releases, the shift the notification light to the middle home key button with muti-led lighting like the galaxy nexus?!! i think if many people like this idea, we should start an online petition to submit to htc to make our thoughts known!

Care to explain capacitance instead of soft?
Resitive screens are the ****ty ones (that effectively have buttons underneath the screen?)

Assume he means having a separate set of capacitive buttons (like the DHD did), rather than having the buttons displayed on screen like the GNex does.

A small mod for the Chinese wireless charging kit.

Hey guys, I bought the white wireless charging kit from Alibaba express and it works perfectly however I wasn't too happy about the indicator lights as they were too bright for me and I couldn't sleep at night with those bright LED's..so I went ahead and carried out a small mod. This might be helpful to someone so thought I'd share it here.
I opened up the charger and placed a thick piece of tape on one of the sides right next to the LED's. This side faces my bed so I wanted to make sure all that light bleed was taken care of.

Then I cut out small pieces of black tape and placed them right above the LED's.
Here's how it looks.
I also stuck an NFC sticker on the inside which I've programmed to toggle between silent modes and use before going to bed.
Here's how it looks, a good round LED with no light bleed and NFC functionality as a bonus
Sorry I didn't take any before pictures but those who own this charger will know how it looks and is not very pleasant.
Cheers.

you should of opt for a black base, not light bleed and less bright.

I personally just used a single strip of black electrical tape.solved all that within seconds.

Do you happen to have any before pics for comparison?

is it possible to make the notification light stay on until the notification has been dealt with? instead of the 2 mins or so that it just stays on?

Looks like you have to use light flow, the free version only allows certain features to receive customization. you have to buy the one for additional apps to light up

I get a log file out of LightFlow and it seemed to mention 'rgb' a few times, what do you make of that?

I assume it is just a generic thing, but I'd be interested to see why you think it might be there.

That's a good shout, I know there is a video of a demo Moto G with a red LED flashing away so perhaps the costs became too great for the production models.

Yep I've seen that, that's from a preproduction unit.
shame how it's been dropped, surely it didn't contribute to costs that much.
Inside I'm hoping its just a software glitch lol but its not likely it seems. There's always hope lol maybe somebody can find someway to activate if it is there

Maybe I am talking b.s here, but isnt white always a combination of RGB? I mean wouldnt it otherwise be either R, G or B according to its wavelength? White is a combination of all those. So it should be a question of implementation. CMIIW

Not necessarily, according to Wikipedia: "the development of the first white LED... employed a Y3Al5O12:Ce, or "YAG", phosphor coating to mix down-converted yellow light with blue to produce light that appears white."
ie, some white LEDs only produce white light when you stick a voltage across them.

No need for it.
Think of all the "things that would cost only a few cent" - sum that up and you are at a phone with a $300 price tag. I do understand Moto and think, they did everything right.

Anyhoo like I said its a shame that it didnt come witha coloured led.

That sucks... I better stick to my S4 then... Was going to sell my s4 while the value was good and use Moto g for a few months until s5 comes out!

S4 is way better than moto g, unless you are having hardware problems.

When does the led works? I have heard that it doesnt switch on with a missed call for example.

Does Lightflow control frequency on the Moto G correctly?
With the absence of color I'd like to make like a Rapid Flash, Slow Flashing, Solid cycling light for like Text messages, missed calls, and emails respectively

The frequency setup with lightflow works. I use a fast frequency for charging and permanently on for fully charged.

samsung s20 ultra Proximity Sensor white flashing

what i need to know is it normal for the Proximity Sensor to flash white when i am makeing a phone call and only when i am makeing a phone call with my s20 ultra.
everyone i have talked with at samsung keeps telling me its a bad screen its a bad screen. I am not sure it is now. because the guy i work with has a note 10 or note 10P and he has a white light as well when he makes calls. Had him test it today.
Can someone please explain to me whats right and whats wrong.
I am really confused i get the feeling samsung customer support has no idea or is an iphone user working for samsung.
I have my phone set up to be returned to be replaced but it would be wonderful to know its normal or not.
if anyone needs a video i got one of it flashing for you to see

That is completely normal. Its been like this since s10. No need to worry about it

Relax it's normal and will flash when making calls. This has been asked about a dozen times over different threads in the Samsung community forums. Whoever was telling you bad screen at Samsung Support is dumber than Sh*t! ?

are you sure i trust the word of the guys here on this forum more then samsung support.
but why would they tell me its a bad screen if its normal
THE THING THAT GETS ME THOUGHT IS IT IS NOT EVERY PHONE CALL IT LIGHTS UP?
edit
is this the downside of it being in the screen

can you explain why it needs to light up now then if its normal like you say unlike the older sensors like s7-s9.
my s7 edge has a proximity sensor but it has no need for light.
can you explain the differents

There's no notch for the proximity sensor, so it uses light from the display which is picked up by the camera if your phone is against your face.

Sorry - this Jonboi guy isnt quite right - it doesnt use light from the display. There is a conventional infrared proximity sensor mounted beneath the display.
It shines directly through the OLED panel when you are in a phone call and your head is not within the correct distance to shut the screen off.
You can see it if you look closely on teardowns - I've highlighted it here on the note 10 teardown:

Thats a note 10, Totally different. Check before replying
The flashing light to the right of the front camera IS the proximity sensor. If you don't believe me, call someone and watch it flash. Pop your finger over it and the display turns off.
