Im new to the lg scene, been a HTC user since windows phones. Anyways. Does the chargeing light only come on when the screen is off. I would like to always have it on either red charging or green fully charged. Wheather or not screen is on or not.

The LED only comes on for battery status when the screen is off. If you want it to be constantly lit while charging, you can check out lite flow.
Light Flow works well but it doesn't allow screen on and led at the same time

Hi, is there a way to get the notification LED to blink when I have a missed call, voice mail, SMS..etc but while its charging too? I know it does this when its not charging, but it would be nice to glance at the phone and see if I missed something while its on the charger.
Thanks
As far as I know it does. It's much harder to notice because the red LED stays lit solid while charging and the green blinks "through" it, and I'm pretty sure when the phone is fully charged and the green LED is lit solid for full charge, it blinks as it usually would when not charging. Can anyone else confirm this?

Mine just stay red/orange when charging and green when charged...the led doesn't blink while it is plugged into the charger.
The other day i saw thread with someone talking about getting the phone send/answer and end keys to blink for things while charged...didn't see how they did it though. There may be a cab for it.
Hi
I have a Defy, with crashed digitizer. I will change it, but the notification light is always on (red colour). The light turn off only, if i remove the battery.. What is the problem? I taked down the digitizer, but the light is on, so the digitizer is not faulty.
Thank you
I had the red light issue as well. My light wasn't bright like the real notification but very faint. I took off the battery fir a few hours n repowered light went away.... but fee days later came back... its been an ongoing thing for me it just does what it likes...... try taking out the battery for a few hours.

I just got my Nexus, and have plugged it in for the initial charge.
A graphic flashed on screen showing a battery being topped up, then went blank. As far as I know it's charging, but there isn't an LED showing me the charge status - is this right?
My desire LED is orange while it's charging, then turns green once it's fully charged. There doesn't seem to be anything like this on the Nexus, or am I missing something
Cheers.
EDIT:
Yeah it's definitely charging - if you tap the power button the graphic comes back. Just seems odd that the LED doesn't relay the battery state, so you can glance to see if it's charged yet or not.
Oh well.
Maybe you can enable this function if you modify the LED notifications.
The idea behind this is likely so that you can see if you have notifications while it's charging. It's a trade-off between two useful things that both use LED.
Try this "market.android.com/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflowlite" but you will need root

Well the Nexus can display pretty much any colours with its LED so they could use different colour flashes to display different information. Another design oversight.

it's retarded that the galaxy nexus doesn't have charging LED indicators. just got one and among other things, this blows...

Is it on when you plug it in?
Yes - Plug it in. Look at the screen and see the icon change to the battery w/ lightening bolt. Set down the phone. Wait
No - Plug it in. Wait for the battery charging icon BIG WHITE BATTERY on the screen. Set down the phone. Wait.
Once you know its charging, what is the worry? Do you really look at your phone from across the room to see if it's done with phones that do have an LED?

You don't even have to look at the top right. On your lock screen, it says:
Charging ( XX % ); XX being numbers. That's how simple it is, definitely making a big deal out of nothing.
The charging led was one of the things on the nexus one that I found quite handy. Well, once it was remapped to a more useful purpose anyway.
I had mine setup to indicate the cpu load (yes, even when the screen was "off"). Since it was a separate led from the notification (trackball) led, there was never any interference or confusion with "regular" notifications. Yes, I'll miss that extra re-mappable rgb led, whatever it's original purpose was supposed to have been...
By the way, Light Flow (free in market) will let you customize the led for this and other events.

Do I have to have a rooted galaxy nexus to use this app?
I second the LightFlow suggestion. I set mine up to show a flashing white LED while charging and a solid white LED when charging is done. Went through a few other options, too - orange for charging green for done, etc.
Lightflow has options to either prioritize or cycle notifications, so a charging indication won't override an email or something.
I know LightFlow uses root, but I just tested it out by denying it root access. The LED for charging still functions. even without root.
As a side note: "Done Charging" is indicated at around 90-something percent. So if you are somewhere between 90 and 100, you might see the LED acting like it's done even though the lockscreen still says charging. Not sure why that is, but I think it's probably so that the typical charge/discharge when the phone battery is full doesn't cause it to keep triggerring notifications over and over. Historesis would be a better option in my opinion. Wait for it to hit 100% to call it charged, but then wait for it to get below 90% before allowing another "charged" event to be activated. But again, that's just on the speculation about the reasoning.
Look for "Galaxy Nexus LED" in the market. It does exactly what you need, I believe (just charging led and low battery notifications). If you need more features Light Flow is the one to install (as people already mentioned).

Its second time i have the notify red light blinking when i put the phone to charge and when is in this state he dont turn On, anyone knows why have this issue?
usually, if it is overheating i.e above 48 degrees Celsius, battery won't charge and the phone will blink red then green.
if that's what's happening, just wait for the phone to cool a little bit and stop using it. it will do the trick

Over heating light flashes red and green, just red is something else I've never had it.

Mine have a red turned on continuously (no blinking) when I connect it charger and then turns green once charged.. never had it bilinking while charging.. not sure if its broken though..
When my battery drained completely (the phone would not turn on at all) I had to put it on USB charging for a few minutes, then the red light started bliking for a while and then it turned on and started charging.
I think it's some kind of error, depends on what it does except blinking...
hi,
i just recently got a note 4 and i'm loving it. but just noticing that the red charging light does not come on every time i charge. actually, i'm trying to find some rhyme or reason on when it decides to light up and when it doesn't.
i've gathered so far that the light is supposed to come on when the screen is off. that's the only "behavior" cue that i'm aware of. are there any others?
and to be clear, the phone is charging. there's no problem with that. the battery level increases and i get the lightning bolt symbol and the "charging" displayed at the bottom of the screen when i turn the screen on.
but the red light lights up sometimes. sometimes not.
just now, i plugged it in and it decided to light up. but then a blue pulse turned on briefly and now nothing is lit up.
not a critical thing and i'm pretty sure this is what the phone's supposed to do. i just want to understand what exactly it's doing.
thanks.
haha,
figured it out myself. so the red light goes out when you get ANOTHER indicator light. like the blue light i got that deactivated the red one.
so if you clear your notifications, the red light comes back on and stays on... until you get another notification.
got it.
hehe, thanks for helping me think that through.

I do that all the time. I get stuck and can't come up with a solution, so post here. Then I figure it out even though no one has actually helped me. Lol
