[Q] Charging notification? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

i just installed deodexed md4 rom and did a few tweaks here and there. now when i shut my phone off and plug in the charger, the notification that the phone is charging is gone (both on screen when i press home/power buttons and led).
any ideas what might have caused it?

I don't know what notification you're talking about as I've never seen one cone up, but the led indicator for charging can be enabled in Settings > Display > Led Indicator

i was talking about the notification on the screen and the led when the phone is shut off.
I actually figured it out, it was the new kernel that i was playing with.

Bad download maybe? I've had no issues with the charging led.

What to do folx.. I know it sounds a bit stupid, but i would like that notif light when screen is on also..

Thanks mate .
One more question tho - i have set up the mod for charging battery : notif light lights up and stays on all the time while battery is charging.. Can this do any harm to led light or phone itself (heating etc)? Or it is intended so it can stay on for long time ?
I had light flow on my galaxy nexus. Although the features are nice, i uninstalled because it seemed very broken. The led would stay on evwn after i checked notifications and so forth. Yeah it was cool, but just didnt see the risk of burning out my led.
For me it works like charm .. But only think i want to know is this :
Can led stay up for longer time ? Like, for example, the HTC Sensations led is staying up for all time while you are charging (by default), and it doesnt burn out. So is GN led designed to stay up for long time, or no ? (Im asking this because i want to know if i can charge the phone whole night and have led turned up)
Thanks again folx
Yes it can! Start LightFlow, choose notifications"then pick the app of your choice. There you can able and enable (amongst many other options) the duration of how long you wish the led to stay on for that particular app.

Yes i know that .. But, will LED burn out if it stays on for all night while charging for example ?

LED's have a life of many thousands, if not, tens of thousands of hours. It's unlikely that the notification LED will ever burn out while you own that phone... Unless you keep the phone for six or seven years and keep the led on almost all the time!
If your led burns out consider it akin to winning the lottery.

Thank you all. ! I really like multi colored led.. I liked it on n900 (back in the old days).. I like it again I simply like when im charging the phone to have my led on all the time
Thanks folx
Ive let mine to constantly show an orange light while i leave the phone on charge overnight and a green when it is charged. Led's wont die on you unless you keep your led on for like 6years straight, so nothing to worry about

Yeh I found the same thing, seemed really broken to me, was so annoying to get rid of notifications and then still have the led going off.
Guys just a quick question. I think this led is three colors right? Red, blue, and green and to get other colors it just mixes them right?
If you guys use colors other than those three I mentioned do you guys kind of obviously see that theres more then one color shining?
Like for purple it looks like purple on top and redish on bottom. Clearly like two colors.
Anyone? Just wanna know if its how others have it or just me??

Sure it does
I have Light Flow set up to show a solid yellow color while charging. When I plug in my phone, the LED blinks on then off. If I turn the screen off, the yellow light cones on like it should. If I then turn the screen on without unlocking the phone, the light remains.
Only after I unlock the phone does the LED not function.

I found that problem was because of the ROM I was on. Some ROMS would need me to launch the lightflow app to clear the notification, but I use CND and it works exactly like it is supposed to. I could flash AOKP and it would work how you describe.
Does it have any kind of effect on battery life? Seems like it would keep the phone awake.

So I wonder if the dev will be able to update the app so the LED will work at all times...

Is your screen off when you're checking for the LED notifications? It tripped me up for a few days until I realized that the LEDs don't kick in until your screen is turned off.

Notification LED while charging?

Does anyone know how I can get the notification LED to flash when I have a notification while it is charging? The LED emits a green light continuously while charging which is unfortunate. I tried playing around with LiteFlow to see if I could get it to flash while charging but had no luck.
Anyone have any luck with LiteFlow or other apps?

you might try a flashlight app like this one... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jug6ernaut.utl.flnotifier&hl=en
this might work as well... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.led.notify&hl=en

I used a combination of tasker and noLED so noLED will only activate while charging. This is a decent solution for now.
I am just curious if there is a way to do this without NoLED. If I could somehow disable the charging LED in tasker or somehow get the notification LED to pulse when charging to indicate a notification.
Thanks for your help though!

ViperOne ROM has a tweak to enable Notification LED to flash while charging, plus a tweak to make the Flashlight on the back flash as often and as fast as you want, instead (some who work in noisy environments really love that!).

I found a thread last night that explained how to do this with tasker. It works perfectly. I'll see if I can find it.
How to disable your charging/notification lights using Tasker
Download the two attached files and place them in "/tasker/tasks/"
Open Tasker, click on the Tasks tab and then click the tab again to import. Select the two scripts and import.
Now you can create a profile that happens during a certain time, say 11pm-8am. Use 'Disable Lights' as your task and 'Enable Lights' as your exit task.
If you want to also disable your Button Backlights, create a Run Shell task under Tasker and enter this command
Code:
chmod 0333 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness; echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
Until Someone figures out the code to reenable the backlights, you can reboot the phone to revert them back to normal.
Cm10 has this. Green led when charging and then green with flashing orange when there's a notification.

[Q] No LED on Charge (PA 3.99 on Nexus 4)

Hi, is a 3rd party app required to get my LED light to blink when charging? At the moment, when I'm plugged in the light stays off, both while charging and when fully charged. In CM I could have sworn there was a battery charge option in Settings > Display > Pulse Light Notifications, but there doesn't seem to be anything there on this ROM. Would love to avoid installing something like Light Flow if it's avoidable, thanks!

No, this option is not available on 3.99
Got it, thanks for the quick reply!

Notification light not working

I have a stock Note 4, never been rooted. When I used to plug in the charger, the notification light would light up red with the screen off, and if I had notifications it would blink blue.
Today it stopped doing that. I tried restarting and removing the battery, same thing. The only time the light will come on is if I restart my phone, it turns blue for a little bit, but notifications nor a power cable plugged in will trigger it.
Phone is less than a month old, I don't have the TEP on it, would Sprint replace it with a refurb model if they're unable to fix it?
edit: I found a way around it by going to accessibility > notification reminder > and turning on LED indicator, when I turn it on though it warns me that using this feature disables the charging notification. I guess it’s better than having no notification light at all.
edit2: there's another option under settings > display and wallpaper > LED indicator. for some reason that was unchecked. turned it on and everything is back to normal.

Thank you!! I had the exact same problem and the "edit2" solution solved it perfectly. :highfive:
Has a proper fix been found for this yet? I have a Samsung Note 4 that was just updated to Android 5.1.1 and the LED notification stopped working. I have gone through all of the settings that effect it, but nothing works. I am not interested in a work around. I am only interested in having my phone function as it is supposed to.
