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 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.

Hi there, I am currently running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 on my HTC Desire Z and having some issues with the notification led in the speaker:
Why, when battery is nearly flat (under 10%) no LED blinks and if I receive a text the green one keeps blinking unless I reboot the device?
I would like to have the amber LED blinking when battery is dying. I already tried LED ME KNOW but works for a while than stops especially after a reboot.
Thanks in advance.

The blinking LED under 10% is just going to happen. Not sure how you'd change it, as the function is built into the ROM.
The trackpad should still pulse properly when you receive a message though.
Thanks for your reply martonikaj, anyway the speaker led seems to go crazy when battery goes under 10%!
Now, I received a text 15 minutes ago, read but the green light still blinks.
I simply would like to have the amber (or a red) Led blinking to remind me, when I'm not using the phone, that I have to recharge it!
Anyone is experiencing the same issue as me?
EDIT: Seems that someone else has the same problem here, with no answer either:
http: //code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3260
mine's the same way. I have a consistent green speaker LED blinking under 10%.
I just never really get under 10% that often so it doesn't really bug me.

I realize that the green led doesn't blink to advise you that your battery is nearly dead but simply because, after reading a text or other notification, the device cannot "get rid" of the green light. In fact if you reboot the phone it goes away and doesn't show up unless you receive another notification.

Well its not that it cant get rid of it, its that the system tells it to blink the LED lower than 10%, and that's overlapped by the fact that the notification also blinks the LED green. So after the notification LED pulse is gone, it just continues because the system picks up where the notification left off.
Either way, yes, its a bug.

Not in my case. If I don't receive any notification the green LED doesn't blink, even under 10%.

You are 100% right! As far as I know it hasn't been solved yet. CM 7.1 RC still have this problem.
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?

i have installed the lightflow app to get more control of the notification LED but i noticed that after installing it the notification for whatsapp doesn't light up anymore. do you guys know how i would go about fixing or correcting this or is this a known issue.
also i have another question about having two notifications and how the LED reacts. Let's say I have a text come in (white LED), the phone will start blinking the white LED. Now, I don't wake the phone up and just let it sit there. Then an email (green LED) comes in. What is the LED supposed to do. from what I've seen so far, the phone just continues to blink the white LED. I thought it would blink both colors. is this normal? or what would be a fix for this?
thanks guys

I have the free version of lightflow and if I get a text (green for me) and then an email (yellow for me) It blinks a few times green, then a few times yellow, then green, then yellow. I've never tested with more than two colors/items.
As for the app "whatsapp",the app lightflow only supports "whatsapp" with the full version of light flow, I bet by turning on accessibility for light flow(free), it overrides the android defaults, hence nothing the app doesn't won't show. (Not positive about that)
You probably need the paid version.
Hi guys, could you please confirm if the a2 lite has a notification led and if so is it multi colour configurable?
Yes. A singular color on the left bottom.
may as well class it as useless even when charging it still is white only

it's white nothing else.
So even if you install some extra software it will still be only white.

Maybe you can find some Xposed Module for custom LED...
That is sad my older phones at least have yellow red and green
It is even configurable via third party apps or like I am using custom roms
Any way it doesn't bother me if its blinking smoothly or at least just blink it not a sloppy 3 step transition
Have a look at the Light Flow app. Unfortunately changing the blinking speed doesn't work but at least it's possible to define the apps whose notifications are switching the LED on.
Sorry it seems there is much confusion around about the (white only) notification led. I'm still reading people stating that the led just lights up for showing that phone is charging, and do NOT lights up for notifications like missed calls, pending incoming messages and other usaual android notifications.
May you please confirm that indeed it DO lights up for android notifications and not only when charging? Thanks
One more thing: if it lights for notificatins but it also lights pemanently while charging, how do you distinguish notifications while charging?
It blinks for notifications and is permanently on while charging. Not sure what happens with notifications while charging as I only do it over night every 2-3 days. Never had any problems with the LED by the way.
Thanks rfkf you cleared it up!
If any wonders exactly.
Made some test.
White led only, off, blinks slowly or always on.
When a notification is received and screen goes off it blinks slowly.
When is charging led is always on but if screen is off and a notification is received it blinks.
When battery saver is on it blinks slowly, if a notification is received it blinks anyway the same way.
I only tested text notification, and I am using Textra, not Android message.

I found the app " light flow" just after reading this page : it enables to manage the led, : which event (battery full/ WhatsApp/messages...) will make the led blink or stay still, obviously no colour management for this phone and unfortunately no possibility to manage blink speed.
