Blinking LED

All of a sudden the solid green LED light started blinking and I am unable to stop it from blinking on and off.
I've tried to do a soft reset and turned off the power.
I disabled all notifications using the light and nothing seems to be working.

the light is supposed to blink..it indicates that you have a phone signal!!

Unless it was indicating a full-charge assuming you were charging the unit.

I was thinking of something else when I noticed the blinking light - aka brain fart

[Q] Keys not lighting up!

Hi All!
Just got my OneX yesterday.
All was great until nightfall came and I've noticed that the keys aren't lighting up.
The light sensor works fine, and when I plug the charger the buttons light up, but when I unplug the phone, even in a very dark room - no light...
I saw there were a few posts on this subject before but with no conclusion.
Anyone else encountered this / knows what to do?
Thanks
Eyna

I find this only happens when the battery drops below a level and Powersave kicks in? How charged was the battery?

It happens at all levels.
When i go to *#*#3424*#* and do Led test it sometimes works qnd sometimes dont, so its not lamp issue.
Any ideas?

Do tour buttons light up every time you cover thé light sensor (the same way the brightness is reduced)?or is it inconsistent?

Anyone?

Try texting yourself?
I'm fairly sure the leds light up when you receive an SMS or something.

Texting didn't work...
I know the led works, its just that it doesn't work systematically. I can be in a pitch dark room and not have the buttons light up, and I can be in a dimmed light room and have them lit.
My questions is if you guys have the same issue, or does your buttons light up every time its dark?
Appreciate all you help!

I'm running a custom ROM so the LEDs behave differently anyway. Can't remember what they were like on Stock (didn't run stock for very long)

Cool LED Light Charging Tidbit Stock JB

I discovered some interesting behavior by the LED notification light on our phone since the JB update. This isn't a bug since I can confirm it is repeatable and seems to have a purpose.
Okay so while your phone is on the charger you know how the LED light comes on if the screen is off? Hold the phone in your hand and make sure the screen is on. Turn the screen off with your power button and notice the brightly lit LED light (red or green, depending on your charge state). Now, turn the screen back on and set the phone down on a flat surface. Turn the screen off again now and notice the LED is much dimmer.
Another thing to try is to turn off the screen while the phone is in your hand to get the bright LED and then set it down. The LED will set itself to a dimmer state after some time goes by. Cool, huh? Seems to be designed that way to more efficiently sip the juice while charging.
Class dismissed!
EDIT: poit correctly determined the reason behind the intensity of the LED light is directly related to the ambient light in the phone's immediate environment. Kudos to poit!

Cool.

The LED brightness seems keyed to the ambient light sensor. It's it's in a dim environment (or you have the sensor blocked) when you turn off the screen, the LED will be dim. If it's in a bright environment when you turn off the screen the LED will be bright.

Mine didn't change at all stayed dim. Got me thinking though, could it be adjusting for how bright it is?
It sure does if I go to a bright room my indicator is bright. Dim room and a dim indicator. While charging if you set the phone down if and while bright it will go dim.

I believe you are correct. I thought it had something to do with gyroscope sensor(hence why it was dim on a flat surface). But I just tried it somewhere with more light and your assessment is correct. Bright environment equals bright LED. Dim environment equals dim LED. Still cool!
:good:
P.S. - this is best tested in a dim room with a lamp you can shut on or off. Lamp on = bright LED, etc. The LED will go back and forth while you play with the lighting.

Or you could just cover the light sensor like I just did and then remove your hand.

Is there away to increase the intensity of the notifications LED ?

I compared my note 2 with 3 others and have realised that my note 2's notification Led Is much LESS brighter then the others. I have no idea why. But is there a way to increase the intensity or can anyone shed any light to why this can happen.
Thanks!

The LED brightness varies on external light source, if you are out in sunlight then it will be bright but if you are in a dark room the LED will be dim.
I think the third party apps turn them to brightest possible always, like Light Flow or Light Manager.

I have tried both the above mentioned app they dont have a setting for brightness just for colour and blink rate. Also i tried covering the light sensor to see if the LED would get brighter or dimmer but no change occurred .

I have the same problem and also the ambient light doesn´t change the LED intensity

LED light becomes dimmer?

Does anyone notice that the LED light, when flashing with a new notification becomes a little dimmer after a while? It's only on the same notification. If I check my msg, and another one comes in, for the first few minutes it's pretty bright but then again it gets dimmer with time.
Anyone else notice that?
