Doesn't this device have a notification/charging LED? On the left of the speaker grill, there are two lenses or whatever they are, one I'm sure is the proximity sensor, the camera is further to the side, but what is the other?
Just found it curious that the GS3 has a notification light, the Galaxy Nexus had one, but this doesn't?
Light and proximity sensor. One of them is a two piece.

Well, I have the new Steel Gray GS2, and I have no light coming out of that area while charging or any other situation.

You have to have notification light in settings like the rom I am using now liquid smooth even then only messages will blink in status bar. The notification lights used are the capcitive lights at bottom of phone you can set it to blink fast , slow etc. Also you could try BLN from the market and see if it works for you.

I just downloaded NoLED, pretty cool little program, I don't like the phone button LED's to show charging and notifications so this is a good alternative.

Yupp one of the downsides to this phone but we have found ways around it. I use bln pro and have the hard keys blink when I have a text or notification

Yup! I recently just purchased BLN Pro because I'm now back on TW based ROMs and wanted the blink feature. Awesome little app.
If you're on an AOSP based ROM like CM, it does this natively and the app isn't needed.

Lol no, light isn't supposed to come out of there. The light sensor there measures how much light there is outside so it could change the screen brightness accordingly... sorry for the misunderstanding though. The only thing we have as notification lights is the bottom row of capacitive buttons.

Is there any way to keep the LED blinking or stay lit when the screen is on?
I'm thinking you can with light flow in certain situations, but to better understand your question, why would you want to?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Agreed that lightflow can do that for you. I just love the app now that I have a phone with led notification again

Keeping the led on kinda beats the point of using led notif..
Maybe OP works at high altitude and needs a beacon to be seen

To keep the LED on while the screen is on AOKP 26 has this built in. Have not seen any other wat to do it though.

Why I have it is when I get a text I don't remember when I'm watching videos till I see it blinking and remember. Comes in handy some points.

Then light flow will work. There's an option to have the light turn off only after the specified app is entered.

I'm running Neutrino mod and have tried lightflow. But the LED only blinks if the screen is off. I have found no function to keep it on. am I missing something?

I haven't found an option like that either. I think our only option right now is to use AOKP or try and figure out how they are implementing it and make an app of our own.
As for those of you asking why you would want this, the answer in my case is full-screen apps that hide the notification bar. I have AOKP and was happy to be able to turn this feature on.
Ok so on my et4g, the proximity sensor is lit up. I've never seen or knew it could light up.. it's a dim orange. Yes I'm positive its the proximity sensor too. I've messed around with it and it is still working..
Attached is a pic of it... looks light purple but it's not..
Anyone know why this could be lit up and not go off?? I've never seen anything like it before

Maybe the red led is screwed and if by any chance it is purple its just red+blue at the same time
I say reboot and if this keeps happening logcat and try a new rom
Your last hope would be going to the sprint store

How about a picture in the dark without the flash?
Not calling bs or anything, just covering all variables here. The 'lighting up' could be light reflecting off of it. I've seen mine shine before in the right light. It's not an LED so if it's actually emitting any light, in case you didn't know - that's not good
Seriously though, no flash and a dark room or it didn't happen.
That was in a dark roon with no flash on the other camera. If flash was on the et4g screen would have a flare on it.
I figured out what caused it.
It was an app called -notification pro plus-
There is a setting under general settings to use the proximity sensor.
I guess it doesn't work well with out phones.

Red and blue LEDs are on the left side of the phone, not the right.

Does the Gnex have an LED notification light? I have yet to see one.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Sure does. Its below the display. RGB too.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
The notification light in Gnex is one of my favourite options in the phone. Some ROMs provide full customization of the notification light ( ex. Paranoid android) . I've set it to flash blue for missed calls , yellow for SMS, green for whatsapp and red for tango
It only lights up when the screen is off?

The rom has to support it, and you have to manually set it up...
I installed light flow. That's how I found it. I'm running Affinity rom and have not seen it work before. Maybe the rom doesn't support it.

Lightflow has been really flaky for me (misses many notification events). The built-in settings in CM10 works best. I don't recall it missing anything.

Except for receiving a phone call . It lights when the screen is off or on. That's at least what my phone does with PA rom
I love how I makes it pulse when I charge my phone.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Yup, didn't know there was one also. I got the point of thinking... maybe the VZW version just doesn't have one :crying:
And then it happened...:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:
Galaxy Nexus + LightFlow has been a great combination for me. The RGB LED notification is a must for me with any future phones.
is a full on Rom the only way to customize it? Only thing id really like to see, is for it to pulse a bit faster. The length in time it takes to pulse is too long imo. I could turn the phone on an look faster than it would take for me to stare at that point and see if there is a message.
use lightflow.

Must have been something with the Affinity rom. I loaded CNA and it works as its supposed to, plus its customizable.

OK, might sound like a dumb question. I know the standard LED notification light location. But yesterday I noticed another faint red glowing from the circle close to the speaker (right). I was able to replicated when I opened the messaging app. If I selected I conversation it would glow faint red, and when I backed out to the message list it would disappear. What the hay is that light for?

White LED
I dont see the white LED glow either on my note 3 which used to happen on the note 2 is this a bug ??
Is there a way to turn down how bright the LED's are for notifications? I just updated from stock to CM 10.2 and the LED notification lights are a lot brighter, and a different color. It's so bright that when I'm charging my phone at night the light really bugs me. I liked the old blue light from teh stock set up much better.
I looked around and also searched but didn't see anything on this.
Thanks,
CF
What about using the Quiet Hours setting to disable the LED altogether during certain hours?

I have it set to turn off the ringer. If it does the LED's too I totally missed it. Will check that out.
"Disable Notification Light" is the bottom option.
