I have a weird problem.
I got my Note 2 for about 3 months, but so far I have not experienced this with the charging LED indicator. Today while charging, sometimes the LED faded out to let say 70% than it came back shining as usual, and in between while the LED on, there were tiny flashes, almost unnoticeable. It does randomly.
Is this normal, or it has to do something with may phone/battery? Or is the electricity unstable in my home?

This could be related to the lighting around the phone. The phone's charging LED auto adjusts itself to the lighting in the area.
It may be, but the lighting condition where I left my phone charging was basically the same... However I have found some theards with the same problem and those guys say that it is bug in the current operating system.

I have noticed that while my note 2 is charging then the brightness of the Red LED keeps changing from low to high at very irregular and unexplained intervals. When I spoke to Samsung Customer Service in Hongkong then they also said that it shouldnt happen and I need to brign the handset to the service centre.
Has anybody else experienced similar situation ?
I have noticed it sometimes happens when I am changing the light conditions in the room by switching off and on the room light but that also not always.
Please help as this is very new phone to me .
It has been said that the brightness of the LED changes according to the ambient light source. If you're in a bright room, the LED will be bright and in a dark room LED will be dim.
And yes, mine acts the same way as yours.

Thanks for your reply. Where has it been mentioned ? Why are Samsung engineers telling me that it's not a normal behaviour ?
Mine does the same thing. Was wondering myself if it is designed to do this or an 'issue'...
Same here..
Yes this is the new Jellybean 4.1 feature
Yes!!
It happens with my Galaxy S3 as well after updating to latest Jellybean 4.1, Actually it is Jellybean feature. nothing wrong with your charger or your device. I have checked practically. (Design for humans, Inspired by nature concept.)
Same here as well, nothing worry about I guess
Different model as it happened to my S3 but I guess it's kinda related, the red LED was going from bright to dim when charging. Plus it was in a dark room, so I don't think it's got anything to do with the ambient sensor or anything. Happened for about 2-3 days and then it died. Tried to switched it on, took out the battery and put it back in again, no luck. Unfortunately I never got to know what was the problem as I got pick-pocketed while on holiday and never got to sent it in to a Samsung Service Center :crying:
Went out and bought a new Note 2 though, so silver lining and all that...
Same here
Same here...I can almost say that when led is brighter it charges faster

Currently I'm on soUrceryrom running Zen kernel and i noticed on some light apps lines on my screen. I tried searching xda for solutions and found some fixes for that but it was in regards to some pictures in framework xml blah blah blah and is is dependant of what room you are on so that wasn't helping me. Since I'm always using dark themes and inverted apps i didn't think it was a problem until today. It's cold outside wind and light snow and i was using my phone when i noticed under the navbar a green line and my softkeys were flashing kinda really bright but only in that green line, so i quickly rebooted my phone and slowly i was home. With the room temperature the green line disappeared but the lines over a call photo were so strong that the photo looked so blurred out that i was afraid. I took a screenshot to have it for later and i noticed that the lines have nothing to do with the theme or rom because the lines staid in the same place. Just to be sure I'm gonna flash a new rom to see what the hell is happening. Does anybody else have similar issues?
Btw the green line that appeared on the bottom is not visible on the screenshot as it is maybe the backlight of the screen but then again i thought that amoled didn't have backlight. Gonna flash now.

I have the same problem. Green Line on top appears when it's cold outside otherwise it stays as a brighter line on top and bottom. This is a screen fault so the only thing is to go to the service and exchange the screen.
I need to do the same but can't stay, at the moment, without the phone.
It's not a rom fault

Hi guys,*
Just completed the touchstone induction charging mod on my s3.in all the tutorials, I see a pop up notification stating that charging has commenced. When I place mine on the puck, and charging starts but no message. Am wondering why this is so.*
I am stock unrooted on sprint.*
Also, it does get a little warm. I can feel the warmth all the way to the touch screen. My evo was thicker and maybe that's why the heat never made it all the way to the front. Just wondering if anybody else who has done the mod also has their phone get warm.
Any and all help is much appreciated.*
Regards,*Asmd

ooops, sorry. my bad.
Consider yourself lucky. My problem is that the wireless charge notification (with alert tone) occurs every single time the wireless charge restarts -- i.e. every time the phone stops charging at 100%, drops to 99% and begins to charge again = new tone. It is extremely annoying. I posted this thread but no solutions.
If you can see the battery icon indicate charging, then its working. I'll swap problems with you anytime.
Oh, and yes, it gets scary hot, front and back. Not sure what's up with that.
I've successfully done this mod. No notification when you wirelessly charge. If anyone wants it, PM me.
Thanks for the reply guys. Must be firmware specific to then.

Look above you. PM freeza and all your problems are solved.
EDIT: Whoops sorry, overlooked the OP. Are you on a custom rom? The rom might just have it disabled if you are on a custom one
I have just installed Charging LED for Galaxy Nexus from the Play Store. It works perfectly, no complaints, but I have a doubt.
If the LED of the phone is on constantly for hours, is there a threat of it getting damaged or some other side effects taking place?
I wanna use this app, but I'm a bit scared about the hardware side effects it MAY have.
Kindly enlighten me on this topic.
Thanks.
I don't think so.
i had it on my motorola defy and and now on Gnex and it works fine on both.
i use light flow(the best one for our phone)

I`ll suppose battery life will be the negative side effect.

Well thanks for the suggestion. I don't think Light Flow has the charging light option. The app I have mentioned keeps the LED light on (not just blinking) for all the time the phone is being charged.

Hmmm.. I don't think so, as the LED will be on only when the phone is being charged. Or am I wrong?

Yeah if you are charging then battery life wouldn't be a problem. I have never heard of any negative side effects to using a LED app. Go for it, it will be grand

Yes, even I have never ever had any issues with LED apps, but this one is different. It will be ON constantly, not just blinking. And it will be ON for hours at a stretch, with just makes me a little worried.
Can the color leave a permanent mark, similar to some pixels that sometime get stuck to the screen?

Not sure about permanent mark but here is some info on life expectancy

Well that's good and bad too. Some LEDs may last just a year is what it says, so that's dangerous!

Just so you know light flow has options for low battery, charging battery, and charged battery. You can set it to always stay on instead of blinking also.

LED's don't get stuck on or anything negative if left on for hours. The only downside is LED's are rated for a certain number of hours. Being constantly on will use those hours up significantly faster than just blinking. On the upside, LED's are usually rated for 25,000, 50,000 and even up to 100,000 hours. So even if you charge your phone for 8 hours a day you have quite a few years of use.
I recently got the m8, and after a few days of installing apps and learning its nuisances, i finally put it down for an extended time lol. but now that that has happened, ive noticed that whenever I get a notification, the light will not stop flashing until i clear it. its been flashing for an hour straight now from an email i sent myself. is this normal?
I dont have light flow installed by the way.
Maybe you have custom rom with that ability? I would like to have that option, but I had to install Light Flow...

Nope, I'm fully stock. Not rooted or anything. I guess I would consider this bug useful, but it makes me paranoid that it will cause excessive battery drainage or cause LED problems in the future.

This is normal. I assume the expectation by HTC is that you use your phone often enough, that you will just check the notifications in a timely manner. Or on the other hand, if you don't turn the screen on for an extended time, you will want to be notified there was a message, call, etc.
I doubt this would have much impact on battery drain. LEDs are low power consumption for such a small LED as this. And leaving it blinking is not going to cause the LED to fail anytime soon. LEDs have a life expectancy of 25,000 hours or more (possibly up to 100,000 hours). Even if constantly lit, this equates to years or even decades of life. Most LEDs manufactured in the 70s and 80s are still working today.

Thank you for the very informative reply. Gives me a little peace of mind. I'm sure that there's something wrong with my phone though because when I disable the led notifications in the settings for all apps, it still blinks when I get one. Might have to try a factory reset.
