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.

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.
Anyway to disable this all together on touchwiz roms?

Not in one shot. You have to find settings for everything and turn off notifications LED if the option is provided. Sometimes you only get the notification toggle. So for each email you have to shut it off, for messaging, for games like wordfeud, FB, Twitter...and so on.

Level 9000: Poke around the source and neuter the driver that controls it.
Level nub: Check the many LED control apps to find one with a toggle that universally disables the LED notification.

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.

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.

I'm stock rooted. I've noticed that my red charge light randomly gets dimmer until I wake the phone. I put it back to sleep and it's normal. Has anyone else seen this.

If your in a bright area the led will be brighter and vice versa, I believe it uses 1 of the sensors to detect how bright it is.

If its the same as the nexus 4 and gnex, then its multi colored, try using light manager, you can test out all the led colors and such but it does require root I think

I have it turned on, but I still get no notification light, even using lightflow and running the test, I get no light anywhere. Maybe I have a dud tablet.

From what we can currently tell it is only a single color, white.

You turn it on under display > Pulse Notification. Make sure that is checked. Lightflow app is compatible but my notification does not work even when running the test on the app.
I am having the same problem which I don't really mind if the light doesn't work.

I could live without it, but since I got mine at a Best Buy, I'll probably bring it back just so I get one that works as it was intended to.

Picked up a Nexus 7 last Friday at Best Buy and my notification LED never worked. Exchanged it today and now it works perfectly. There are some duds out there, I guess.

Download light flow lite, you can use that app to manage notifications for any program you want.
The light only works when you receive a notification with the tablet screen off
