Nexus 5x notification led probably not functional - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today I received my 5x everything is good except pne thing, I cant see notification led blink yet. I suspect if it's broken. I have also enabled pulse led under sounds and notification.
Can anyone confirm if the led lights up while charging or not.
or how do I test the led?

There is no led notification for charging. Just test if you get the led light blinking when you got a missed message or not.

thanks for confirming. It now works for notifications after a restart for some weird reason.

You have to enable it. It doesn't come enabled. I find the notification light as well as ambient display not work 100% though

Use the app light flow from the play store to customize the led, I use it with no problems. But like stated above it comes off by default.

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.

[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?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
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.

Light flow

Anybody know if it works? Thanks!
Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk
Seems to be working for me.
It works but my ambient display would flash on every 10 seconds or so when Light Flow was activated, notification or not.
Did this happen even if ambient notifications were disabled in system settings? I plan to use only the LED.
Had the same problem with ambient display. Turn it off and the problem disappear.

LED notification

Hey guys,
I just wanted to check if Moto Z play has LED notification. I just read somewhere that this device does not have one. But wanted to confirm.
If this is true, I have to look for another device.
Thanks
No doesn't have notification light more a on screen notification , like if a gumtree message comes through and the screen is off It shows a tree in a dim white at the bottom

Moto hasnt had led notification since they had moto display.

It actually has a hidden LED as every moto device. On CyanogenMod I've already repurposed it as notification LED.

If it's like the Droid Turbo it has a "charging LED" that can be used with root
If u root there's a app that can make the front flash work as a notification

I use this in my moto x style
Thank you guys for sharing the information
I saw the LED on our Moto Z play, when you connect the turbocharger with the phone turned off, you can clearly see a white led (not the flash) blinking briefly in the zone of the proximity sensors.
Yeah there is something between the front camera and speaker, maybe someone can configure it for notification
I used led control app to make it work. It is only white. And it didn't make it work for notifications. Only when charging, or usb, or using internal, or external memory.

Tasker is capable of using this LED and you can set it up to function as a notification light. I do it with my Droid Turbo.

This may or may not work on the Z Play. You will need root.
BACKUP FIRST JUST IN CASE!
I have it setup to only turn on if the screen is off.
Task 1 (LED on): if %SCREEN ~ Off
Set light - set charging to 1
End if
Task 2 (LED off): set light - set charging to 0
For profiles do this for each app you want to have set off the LED if you don't want it going off for every notification. Otherwise don't choose an application and it'll go off for any notification:
event > UI > notification. Choose an application (optional) then have this profile perform Task 1.
To turn off the LED I have it go off when I turn the screen on.
Event > display > display on and have this perform Task 2.
I'm sure this can be improved but this is how I have it set up right now.

Notification LED customization app? LightFlow not working

Hi all~
Just got my 5T yesterday, but it seems that LightFlow is not working properly to control the notification LED.
Anyone figure out how to set it up to work or is there any other good alternative to customize the notification LED?

Have you not tried the built-in LED color customization? Just wondering.

It's still very similar to what I got from my OnePlus 3, not so customizable.
I prefer per app notification LED customization.
The in-built LED control is absolutely inferior compared with what you can achieve with an app like LightFlow, which allows you to customize the LED color and blinking pattern on an per-app basis. It is even possible to have the LED circle through different colors if there are multiple notifications.
@J12894 Can you describe what exactly does not work on our 5T?

The LED just wont work according to my setting. It will simply "eat" the notification, and don't show any LED.
The notification will show up and then disappear. And I am sure it is "eaten" by LightFlow as if I disable it, there is no such issue.
When I tried "All enabled LEDs Test", with some setting, it will either not show any LED or just show the blue color.
I'm using Light Manager Pro and it seems to be working correctly.
+1 for Light Manager
Im having no problems with light flow. I am using legacy mode, though
I want to use lightmanager too but when I test the notification it show "You must unlock screen to allow led notification" but my screen is unlock because I'm set light manager.
What is wrong.

Hit ok, then press the power button. It should take like two or three seconds for the color to show up in the notification LED. It's just to test what you set up.
Then unlock your screen again and set up the next one.
Thanks
I got BlinkerLED working without any problems.

I am using Light Manager, but I am unable to adjust the blinking speed. So it's always the same, no matter what I select.
Not that it's a huge issue, but would like to know if that's adjustable.

Speed cant be controlled on OnePlus devices as you can do it on Note 8 or S8, I dunno why its so weird though!
