Hi, could any one tell me if the charging LED also works as a notification light? Cheers.
Yes, notification led works when charging. When battery became full charged, then led turns off.
Hi thanks for that - I don't think I worded it right
Does the led does function as a notification light? (as well as a charging light)
Cheers
Yes, LED works also for notifications, but it is almost invisible. One must check the phone at specific angle to see the led.

Yes it is almost invisible. And i noticed that the LED is only in white. I can't make whatsapp flash it in green or red.

The blinking LEDs either side of the speaker don't work.
The one on the right which I believe blinks red to indicate notifications and missed calls have never worked and the green one on the left which shows you have reception has stopped.
As far as I can tell all is as it should be in the settings.
The one on the left of the earpiece is the LED, the right is the light sensor that adjusts your screen brightness. Below is a description of the LED lights straight from the manual that came with my Tilt2.
* The Notification LED shows a:
Flashing green light when there are new SMS, MMS or email messages, missed calls, or reminders.
Solid green light when the device is connected to the power adapter or a computer and the battery is fully charged.
Solid amber light when the battery is being charged.
Flashing amber light when the remaining battery level reaches below 10%.
how many threads in how many device forums till everyone knows thats not an led. it even says light sensor in the manual.
Oops silly me. RTFM.
Thanks for getting back to me.

What to do folx.. I know it sounds a bit stupid, but i would like that notif light when screen is on also..

Thanks mate .
One more question tho - i have set up the mod for charging battery : notif light lights up and stays on all the time while battery is charging.. Can this do any harm to led light or phone itself (heating etc)? Or it is intended so it can stay on for long time ?
I had light flow on my galaxy nexus. Although the features are nice, i uninstalled because it seemed very broken. The led would stay on evwn after i checked notifications and so forth. Yeah it was cool, but just didnt see the risk of burning out my led.
For me it works like charm .. But only think i want to know is this :
Can led stay up for longer time ? Like, for example, the HTC Sensations led is staying up for all time while you are charging (by default), and it doesnt burn out. So is GN led designed to stay up for long time, or no ? (Im asking this because i want to know if i can charge the phone whole night and have led turned up)
Thanks again folx
Yes it can! Start LightFlow, choose notifications"then pick the app of your choice. There you can able and enable (amongst many other options) the duration of how long you wish the led to stay on for that particular app.

Yes i know that .. But, will LED burn out if it stays on for all night while charging for example ?

LED's have a life of many thousands, if not, tens of thousands of hours. It's unlikely that the notification LED will ever burn out while you own that phone... Unless you keep the phone for six or seven years and keep the led on almost all the time!
If your led burns out consider it akin to winning the lottery.

Thank you all. ! I really like multi colored led.. I liked it on n900 (back in the old days).. I like it again I simply like when im charging the phone to have my led on all the time
Thanks folx
Ive let mine to constantly show an orange light while i leave the phone on charge overnight and a green when it is charged. Led's wont die on you unless you keep your led on for like 6years straight, so nothing to worry about

Yeh I found the same thing, seemed really broken to me, was so annoying to get rid of notifications and then still have the led going off.
Guys just a quick question. I think this led is three colors right? Red, blue, and green and to get other colors it just mixes them right?
If you guys use colors other than those three I mentioned do you guys kind of obviously see that theres more then one color shining?
Like for purple it looks like purple on top and redish on bottom. Clearly like two colors.
Anyone? Just wanna know if its how others have it or just me??

Sure it does
I have Light Flow set up to show a solid yellow color while charging. When I plug in my phone, the LED blinks on then off. If I turn the screen off, the yellow light cones on like it should. If I then turn the screen on without unlocking the phone, the light remains.
Only after I unlock the phone does the LED not function.

I found that problem was because of the ROM I was on. Some ROMS would need me to launch the lightflow app to clear the notification, but I use CND and it works exactly like it is supposed to. I could flash AOKP and it would work how you describe.
Does it have any kind of effect on battery life? Seems like it would keep the phone awake.

So I wonder if the dev will be able to update the app so the LED will work at all times...

My phone deep sleeps just fine with lightflow.
I saw pictures online and have read that this phone does have a LED Notification light. But my brand new Pixel 2 XL I just got from Google yesterday, doesn't seem to work ?
What's it called, like Blink Light something ? I found that in Settings, and it is enabled clicked on. But I don't see it light up when the phone's plugged in charging.
Go in SETTINGS
then APPS and NOTIFICATIONS
then NOTIFICATIONS
then turn on BLINK LIGHT
Yes I have it enabled, but does not light up when plugged in and charging

You'll need a third party app, such as light flow or light manager in order to have LED while charging.

google didn't enable it for charging for some weird reason. just notifications for apps
I use "light manager" and it works great.
I just tested out light manager and it does work great. I chose to try that over light flow as light manager has been updated much more recently and after Oreo came out, whereas light flow is pre-oreo updated. But yeah, it works well so far. Tested out charging lights as well as multiple notification lights - they pulse as set up and use the proper color assigned to them. Pretty nice.
guys, i didnt get the exact moment when it stopped working and can only speculate about what caused it, but my notification led isnt working any more. nothing triggers it. not whatsapp, not gmail...
is there any way to test it or tune it without relying on third party apps?
im on stock taimen with flash kernel, systemless xposed and gravity box.
thanks!
I dont think it ever has??? Isn't that why we have always on display and dont need notification light?
It definitely works. I use the app Light Flow - LED Control to customize my LED. Maybe try that app with charging light and see if it turns on when charging. Make sure you have blink light turned on in apps and notifications --> notifications --> Blink light.

I second this. Works fine for me.
Hi guys, could you please confirm if the a2 lite has a notification led and if so is it multi colour configurable?
Yes. A singular color on the left bottom.
may as well class it as useless even when charging it still is white only

it's white nothing else.
So even if you install some extra software it will still be only white.

Maybe you can find some Xposed Module for custom LED...
That is sad my older phones at least have yellow red and green
It is even configurable via third party apps or like I am using custom roms
Any way it doesn't bother me if its blinking smoothly or at least just blink it not a sloppy 3 step transition
Have a look at the Light Flow app. Unfortunately changing the blinking speed doesn't work but at least it's possible to define the apps whose notifications are switching the LED on.
Sorry it seems there is much confusion around about the (white only) notification led. I'm still reading people stating that the led just lights up for showing that phone is charging, and do NOT lights up for notifications like missed calls, pending incoming messages and other usaual android notifications.
May you please confirm that indeed it DO lights up for android notifications and not only when charging? Thanks
One more thing: if it lights for notificatins but it also lights pemanently while charging, how do you distinguish notifications while charging?
It blinks for notifications and is permanently on while charging. Not sure what happens with notifications while charging as I only do it over night every 2-3 days. Never had any problems with the LED by the way.
Thanks rfkf you cleared it up!
If any wonders exactly.
Made some test.
White led only, off, blinks slowly or always on.
When a notification is received and screen goes off it blinks slowly.
When is charging led is always on but if screen is off and a notification is received it blinks.
When battery saver is on it blinks slowly, if a notification is received it blinks anyway the same way.
I only tested text notification, and I am using Textra, not Android message.

I found the app " light flow" just after reading this page : it enables to manage the led, : which event (battery full/ WhatsApp/messages...) will make the led blink or stay still, obviously no colour management for this phone and unfortunately no possibility to manage blink speed.
