Is this correct? In my settings it says it's supposed to be red...I'm thinking maybe blue represents dash charging?

Yup, it's dash charging. If you charge with a normal charger it's the color you've set in settings. Seems like a small oversight that you can't customize it.

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.

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).

I have an annoyance with my Qi wireless charger. I put the tablet on the charger at night when I'm half asleep and in the morning I find it hasn't charged. Sometimes the screen will light up when it's placed on the charger properly, but not always.
What I'm looking for is an app or a setting where I KNOW for sure that the Nexus is charging - preferably without lighting up the whole screen and keeping me awake. Anyone know of one?

cant you just see if its charging from the battery icon in the notification bar? doesnt it also say when the device is chargin on the lockscreen? i use both of these methods to check for this when i use my wireless charger. not sure if a custom rom is needed for this, as i havent run anything on stock android since its debut
In order to see the notification bar or the lockscreen, I would have to be awake enough to push the power button and light up the entire screen.
As I said, what I want is a way to know that the tablet is charging without having to light up the screen.

The nexus 7 has a notification led. You can use an app like Light Flow to set pulsing pattern when it's charging.
I have mine to turn off the led when fully charged.

My G2 has Qi and the Notification LED pulses when charging. Its red for battery.
On my Nexus 7, I just position the tab until the screen turns on (when Qi pairs) and says charging on the lockscreen. Then I just close my hardbook case and its done.
Or get a better Qi pad that has multiple transmitters so it isn't as particular on placement.

My Qi charger is making sound when paired as the nexus 7 does also. In addition the green light indicator change to blue.
So no doubt any more

Yeah I'd get a better charger for it or drink loads of water before you go to bed so that when you get up to go to the toilet you can then check it the normal way.
i have a cheap wireless charger and it wont charge my SGS4 & Nexus 4 (previously own) and now Nexus 5.. but amazingly it working perfectly without any problem with my Nexus 7 Deb... - Slimkat + Elementalx
And I also have official Nexus 4 orb and I do have problem to use it with Nexus 5.. sometimes It'll make my phone overheated..but i experience the problem only on few custom roms/kernels..
now its good on unofficial Liquid + Chaos v6
:fingers-crossed:
There's an xposed module that will do this. It's in the xposed installer downloads section.

light indicator for charging
i just bought a QI wireless charger from amazon. it has 2-LED lights. red showing that it's plugged in and green when the tablet is wirelessly charging.
i use lightflow to show the light when its charging
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
I just recently purchased a "safe" Note 7 on AT&T just last weekend. I also purchased a Samsung wireless charging pad as well but I am wondering if I am experiencing an issue. Should the LED on the wireless pad change from blue to green when the phone is at 100% charge? I have yet to see the LED in any state other than blue. Is this expected behavior?

If using Samsung fast charge wireless charging pad, LED light in blue = charging, green = fully charged.
Mine changes to green also.... Not sure why yours doesn't...
My Pixel XL keeps freezing after it is left charging overnight. The LED stays green and you have to force it to restart. The LED stays on even after it is unplugged and doesn't turn off until the phone is rebooted. I'm using LED Blinker Pro, rooted on NDE63P.

What are you charging it with?

I wasn't using the stock charger. I was using a microusb charger and a microusb to USB3 adapter. Was thinking that was my problem. Guess not tho. I am rooted with twrp too. Are you?

I reflashed the factory image, updated the phone and installed TWRP and root. So far no issues.
