Battery LED while charging? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to have the nexus 5x LED turn green when it is done charging? On my old M8 the LED would be orange while charging and green when fully charged.

Not sure if this helps but I have LED Blinker Lite and also under Settings > Sound & Notification > Pulse notification light > On
Hope that helps!

Yes I have that on, but that's only for notification and not for charging. Thanks anyways though

I believe he is also saying to try the LED blinker lite app in the Google store. To get control over the LED and make it do what you want it to do. There is no way to light the LED while charging natively

Did the new update bring different color LED notifications?

I never noticed this until the lastest update, but the LED changes different colors for different notifications. Voice mail gets a green , Facebook gets a blue,etc..I remember my phone use to light up a rainbow color.. anyone noticed these changes?

May be someone that can clarify your answer... all I know is that I use Light Flow to change the color of the notifications.

Which update? Carrier or XDA?

The blue notification comes from the 1.9 update of the Facebook app. I don't use Voicemail, so I can't comment on that. SMS notifications are white (whitish) by default, can't change that without 3rd party hacks.
I configured Whatsapp though, to give green notification light, but you could change that to anything else in the app settings.
If you want more options for other apps, use an app like lightflow, although personally I don't like it, never worked reliable for me.

The led has always been different colors, depending on your apps. Nothing new.

I have Android 4.0.1, yakjuux, Galaxy Nexus from Fido.
So far, my LED light has never lit up when I get a Whatsapp message. There's an option for light color in the Whatsapp settings menu, but it doesn't seem to work. I don't feel I need to download third party apps (light flow) in order to make the built-in LED of the phone to work. Shouldn't the notification LED work out of the box, without any tinkering?
Anyone else have this issue?
Seems normal. Have u rooted? CM9 nighties now has great support for led color notifications
My led was never lighting up for some reason until I started using Light Flow. I can't understand why would they give us a nice multi-color led and not use it nicely. And my god have I missed the charging orange led and charged green from htc.
I'm also using Light Flow and it works great, otherwise not so much with stock but the LED has always been a tri colored led.

Normal for the LED not to work, even thought Whatsapp has an setting for it? That seems ridiculous.
My phone is not rooted, and I don't think I'd have to in order to make this LED to work. Why even put one on the phone if it doesn't work???

So far, I haven't noticed any different colours on my GN. It would be great if it comes through the official update. Else CM9 shouldn't be far away anyways

I have never saw my Galaxy Nexus pulse LED light?!

I don't believe mine works, or has ever worked. I didn't even know it had a notification LED until yesterday when a friend showed me on his Galaxy Nexus...also from Verizon. So this makes no sense where is my LED how do I make it work!?
It should just work, there's an option on standard rooms to disable the LED in the display settings. Mine just lit up by default from first use.

Use the app Light Flow to control your LED. It gives you a lot more options than the standard Android one.

I downloaded Light Flow and I have the screen lock on and set it to test all the LED lights. Screen is off but phone remains black, no light whatsoever.
Do you have "pulse notification light" checking in settings>display?
Seen, not saw.

Yes I have it enabled I think I have a faulty device.
I would get a replacement then if your LED isn't working.

i havent' tried light flow, but my led only lights up when my phone is ringing :\
Well, dang. I'm having the same problem. Will download Light Flow and see if that does anything. If not, it's back to Sprint. Sigh.

Charging LED overrides notification LED?

Hey guys,
Ever since ICS update, the charging LED completely overrides all notification LEDs.
I used to have k9mail LED color set to white which results in the LED blinking red whenever a new email arrives. This works perfectly fine if the phone is not being charged and this also worked before ICS but this no longer works.
Anyone else notice this with their E4GT?
Thanks
My notification light has never worked except while charging it glows red, blue when full then unplug and sometimes it stays red

Try blink or light flow in the market.

Yeah this beg has been there since the early leaks, Samsung screwed us on that one and I guess Sprint never made it a priority to fix. This works in aokp though so I figure it also works in cm9 and other aosp roms.
I don't even use the leds they just blink and drain the battery. I have them disabled for everything including charging. You can't see it blink in your pocket so all its doing is wasting your battery as it blinks away unattended and it has notifications and vibration to alert you to an incoming message. No real point in having sound, vibration, an icon and a light for a notification. Plus ICS doesn't handle the LEDs properly and they keep the SoC from going into deepsleep causing excessive battery drain. You use less battery to click the screen on and look for an icon than you do with the LED blinking til you check it anyways.

[Q] LED notification when charging

Hey guys bought the Nexus 7 about 2-3 days ago
is the LED notification light come on when charging?
I haven't seen the LED light come on since I bought the device
Do you guys think it's defect?
ps. already tried to turn it on with led notification app and still no light
Its only for notification and must be turned on in display setting.
For example - light starts flashing if an email arrives while display is off.

the pulse notification light is on and still yet no LED light pulsing
I just exchanged it today and LED notification is till not working. Can't even get the light on at all
Did you send yourself an email while the display is off?

run light flow from market. It has a test mode to see if your LED works.
Also you can set it up to blink the LED when charging and stay solid when full.
Mine turns on when I get emails.

Notification LED only pulses on notification when the screen is off. It pulses very slowly, once every about 10 seconds.
It depends from the apps. For example in Facebook, it pulses every 2 secs but when in hangouts, it pulses every 10 secs. My best guess to change this would be to either install a custom rom, or like many said install lightflow from the play store.

For future use, that's generally the standard protocol with any app where you need to test / maniplate the led.
I thought my notification light may be defective as well... I tested with light flow and it works, odd that it does not light up when receiving an email or other notification? Must be a software issue? On stock rooted ROM and stock kernel.

[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!

Got it, thanks for the quick reply!
