Anyone know of an app or a ROM that allows you to turn off the charging LED, so that the LED blinks on regular notifications like it would when not on the charger?
the OMFGB rom has the led on while charging but when you get a notification it chages color
so it goes from orange to green and blinks like that untill you view your notification

MIUI does the same.
Thanks guys. From your responses it looks like the AOSP roms have this ability. I'm guessing CM7 has it too.
This functionality is helpful as my phone sits on the charger at my desk all day, and it sucks having to compulsively check it by turning the screen on all the time.
CM7 does it too. I wouldn't recommend it tho, it was too glitchy on mine, kept freezing on me...OMFGB hasn't crashed one time
try both and see which one you like better
I am on the latest cm7 nightly and have no issues with the led changing color for notifications when its on the charger.
Would this be possible on Virtuous? Or any other sense rom?

Hey xda
I've had my Desire Z for about two months now and damn its the best phone i've ever had ! However i noticed something the other night which i would like to ask you about.
I have no green led that blinks every 3 seconds or so at the top where the speaker is. Shouldn't there be that when the phone is having reception ? I noticed this when i was charging my phone.. The older HTC's i've had usually glows orange when charging, but changing to green when its done charging.. But mine just turns off the orange led so theres no led litten up at all
Is this normal for the Desire Z or what does your DZ do ?
I have a G2, the charging LED goes from orange to green when it is above 80% (I think), but it isn't used at all outside of charging.
the green LED blinks when you have messages waiting or emails etc. as well as full charge indicator.
It really depends on how you've set your notifications up.

Is there somewhere i can change if the Green LED should be on or not ? Or maybe test it .. Because i never see this Green LED on.. When charging is done the orange led just turns off and no led is litten.. The same goes for when theres reception and i have a message.. The Green LED is not blinking at all
definitely sounds faulty to me. The only app I have ever heard rave reviews about is LEDme. Give that a try to configure the notification blinking. If that doesn't work, dig out your receipt for a return.
EDIT...... As Steviewevie has stated... App is called LED Me Know. My mistake.
The LED doesn't blink for notification unless you use an app (e.g. Led Me Know) or an app that does that for you.
In the stock DZ ROM, the trackpad itself blinks when you get a message, if that setting is switched on, though the blinking is very slow - e.g. every 10 seconds or so.
The LED in the speaker grille should turn green when the battery is fully charged. But when the phone is new there is a "learning" process for the ROM/battery, so that might be why you are not seeing it yet.
If you install the "Led Me Know" app (from the Market), there is a function in there to test out the notifications, so you could set it to use green and then test it from within the app, just to make sure your LED shows green ok.
The free app "Missed Call for Android 2.X" (there is another version that is just for Android 1.6) works well to change the LED notifications as well as vibrate patterns. I just tried it, and it works for flashing the green LED for a SMS notification.
Or if you only want to test it, download "covedesign dev"

Thanks for all the help guys .. I tried various of your mentioned apps and none of them seems to be able to make my green led glow.. Just wondering if i want a spare or not, since it just a rather small fault.. Do you think they will replace it ? is it enough faulty for them to fix it ?
If its supposed to have a green LED, and the green LED is broken, then I think its justification for a replacement.
Whether it bugs you enough to replace it, that's your decision. The only time I've seen it light up (without changing the settings with the Missed Call app) is when charging is done. So it really doesn't have much use, anyway.

If you're rooted, download the app covedesign dev.

Not rooted anymore, as i prepared my device for return.. But i tried it before, when i was rooted, and i was not able to get my green led to lit up with that program.. So i guess its faulty
I never noticed this until the lastest update, but the LED changes different colors for different notifications. Voice mail gets a green , Facebook gets a blue,etc..I remember my phone use to light up a rainbow color.. anyone noticed these changes?

May be someone that can clarify your answer... all I know is that I use Light Flow to change the color of the notifications.

Which update? Carrier or XDA?

The blue notification comes from the 1.9 update of the Facebook app. I don't use Voicemail, so I can't comment on that. SMS notifications are white (whitish) by default, can't change that without 3rd party hacks.
I configured Whatsapp though, to give green notification light, but you could change that to anything else in the app settings.
If you want more options for other apps, use an app like lightflow, although personally I don't like it, never worked reliable for me.

The led has always been different colors, depending on your apps. Nothing new.

I have Android 4.0.1, yakjuux, Galaxy Nexus from Fido.
So far, my LED light has never lit up when I get a Whatsapp message. There's an option for light color in the Whatsapp settings menu, but it doesn't seem to work. I don't feel I need to download third party apps (light flow) in order to make the built-in LED of the phone to work. Shouldn't the notification LED work out of the box, without any tinkering?
Anyone else have this issue?
Seems normal. Have u rooted? CM9 nighties now has great support for led color notifications
My led was never lighting up for some reason until I started using Light Flow. I can't understand why would they give us a nice multi-color led and not use it nicely. And my god have I missed the charging orange led and charged green from htc.
I'm also using Light Flow and it works great, otherwise not so much with stock but the LED has always been a tri colored led.

Normal for the LED not to work, even thought Whatsapp has an setting for it? That seems ridiculous.
My phone is not rooted, and I don't think I'd have to in order to make this LED to work. Why even put one on the phone if it doesn't work???

So far, I haven't noticed any different colours on my GN. It would be great if it comes through the official update. Else CM9 shouldn't be far away anyways
Hey i tryed the newst cm 10 jb rom and found out that the noti led blinks green while chargine and u get a msg. i prefer another rom but i really want that feature.
is there a stand alone mod that brings my led to blink whiel its charge?
Almost all HTC phone's comes with two colors LED only. Thus, white is not possible even with mod.
i dont want a white led....
when the phone is charging. the led stays on red(or green when full) and dont care if i got a message.
with the new cm 10 rom, the led blinks while charging if i get a msg

Looks like whiel == while, but i presumed whiel == white. That's what answering..
There is an app at play store called "Light Flow - LED Control", you may try it and see whether it suit your requirements or not.
Hey guys,
Ever since ICS update, the charging LED completely overrides all notification LEDs.
I used to have k9mail LED color set to white which results in the LED blinking red whenever a new email arrives. This works perfectly fine if the phone is not being charged and this also worked before ICS but this no longer works.
Anyone else notice this with their E4GT?
Thanks
My notification light has never worked except while charging it glows red, blue when full then unplug and sometimes it stays red

Yeah this beg has been there since the early leaks, Samsung screwed us on that one and I guess Sprint never made it a priority to fix. This works in aokp though so I figure it also works in cm9 and other aosp roms.
I don't even use the leds they just blink and drain the battery. I have them disabled for everything including charging. You can't see it blink in your pocket so all its doing is wasting your battery as it blinks away unattended and it has notifications and vibration to alert you to an incoming message. No real point in having sound, vibration, an icon and a light for a notification. Plus ICS doesn't handle the LEDs properly and they keep the SoC from going into deepsleep causing excessive battery drain. You use less battery to click the screen on and look for an icon than you do with the LED blinking til you check it anyways.

Would it be possible to create a MOD that would have the notification light work regardless of weather you are charging your phone or not? Currently, when plugged in, the notification light either shows red (for charging) or green (for charged). If a notification comes in, you have no idea until you either pick up and check the phone or unplug the phone. Certainly not ideal.
Thanks.

Paranoid android has an implemented thing where if you get a notification it blinks red and green. I'm not sure about other roms though. :good:
Either TrickDroid or Viper has this as well.
