Ok so I use my leds as a flashlight from time to time...no constant use..and I'm running cm7 that came with the nexus torch app and can high intensity etc...normally I only use regular intensity. Well within the past few days I noticed my led flickers...and comes on but barely on...its the lower led of the 2 but it only halfass works and sometimes not at all...when I try to take a pic there's no flash when its supposed to...but when I take a video, it uses the top led so it works just fine.....am I alone in this?

I have been using both normal mode and Death Ray mode with no issue on mine..
I'm assuming its a hardware issue as apposed to a software issue since its so sporatic.....damn..

Did you not read the warning that comes up when you choose high-intensity?
yeah i read it just fine....i've never used it for longer than like 10 seconds constantly and not even that often..only had the phone for 3 weeks and only rooted for a week n a half. it shouldn't be spazzing out and not working in such a short amount of time.
Unrooted..s-on..stock ATT ruu and now it works fine......I dunno...*confused*

Why, we have a notification LED. I loved BLN for my Vibrant, but I don't see how it is needed here.

That's what they mean.
Notification light within the speaker
Is this what you're referring to?
It only shows up if i have the charger plugged in. Orange when charging and green when charge complete.
Shouldn't this be where your alerts are shown too? I have them set up via this menu:Settings > Display < Notification flash , however i never see any light come on when i have new messages.
Won't work, fascinate had an amoled screen which o believe can turn on individual pixels. The tbolt has an lcd screen which uses a backlight which only lights up the whole screen

He's referring to the backlighting on the soft keys, not the actual touch screen.
This would be great if it's possible. The notification LED is horrible on the TB.
Backlight support, if I remember correctly, has to be built into the kernel... I've only used it with Nero rom on the Samsung Vibrant, never on an HTC device. If you don't like the notification lights on the Thunderbolt, you can download NOLED app from the market... It works well on phones I've tried that have no notification lights like the Nexus S...

Hmmm... never heard of that app. Will check it out. Thanks man!
bumping this hoping its possibile now
now that the source is out
I use an app called "Flashlight Alert" from the market or can be found on the XDA forum.it uses the LED to alert you of email, text, google voice and calls. It's free and doesn't require any additional addons.off that does catch your attention then nothing will. I even used it on my Xoom.
try "missed message flasher" it flashes the backlight whenever you get a new message. it can repeat until you check it or you can set time limits. tons of options and works for all notifications.
If you're rooted there is an app called light flow that works very well. Makes the led notifiers actually serve a purpose.
Am I missing something, but I can't find how to enable notifications for missed email or calls. Does this feature exist?
I surprised no one seemed to bothered by lack of led notification... This was the most useful feature in N1

Actually I'm very bothered by it, but knew about it going in. I just don't think any phones are going to have that magic trackball or led notification anymore.
Apparently there's a mod for the Optimus 2x that enables the soft keys at the bottom of the phone to light up as notifications, but it hasn't been ported to the G2X yet.
Well, there might be no dedicated LED, but there are those touch buttons, they should do the trick. As a matter of fact there is an app Touch LED Notifications (BETA) 0.3, but it appears a bit buggy still.
been using touch led beta 0.3 for two days. so far it's workin great!

does the led button app drain your battery life? doesnt that unsleep the phone?
There is also an app in the market called noLED that works awesome.
Noled is great for amoled screens to my knowledge. On amoled you can light up a specific led whereas on LCD you still turn on the entire backlight.
From author's description the app processes notifications only when they are received and the phone is awoken anyway. You can also set timeout after which the less stop flashing (I set it to 3 hours for example.)

The 2x touch LED app has been working for me for almost 2 days now w/no apparent issues.
Touch LED Beta 0.3 working great here! Haven't tested noLED from market but it's meant for AMOLED screens whose black pixels do not consume power. If you use noLED for notifications to display on your LCD screen, it will be like leaving the whole screen on any time you have a message.
Yea 2x touch just pulses your capacitive buttons at the bottom. Its configurable and works great...
I'd rather light up 4 LEDs then my whole backlight.

Started using the Touch LED app, works great. So glad this came along. Hit thanks button rroyter and biturbomunkie.
Hey can one of you tell me your settings on it?? I want to make sure i have it set up correctly.
Its strange im using google voice for text but everytime i receive one the keys dont light up...is this a bug???
Perfect! Just had to change the file extension from txt to apk for some reason. Works good unrooted.
will this stop my entire screen from illuminating when i get a text? all my other android phones did not have their screens turn on when a text comes through unless i had an sms pop up app.
Need a little help with this, when I DL the .apk on my phone, it turns into a .txt file. What am I doin wrong?

Does your light turn on when it is switched off?
Sent from my Calculator with Android.
While in the regular camera no, only if I set to auto and take a picture it flashes, but if I try to set it to just stay on it doesn't come on at all only in the video recorder mode. And I noticed while its on in video mode if I switch the flash off it turns off and flashes for a second and stays off.

Because it works like that. The flash will only light up (when on) upon capturing.
It is already a flashlight when it stays on and not camera flash anymore.
Sent from my Calculator with Android.
But my problem is when its in the mode to take a picture why would you have the option of auto, on, and off ? So auto works and off works but to just have the flash stay on without taking a picutre doesn't work with my previous phones it would just stay one but anyway I guess it not to much of a problem. As long as it works.

If you want to make the led flash stay on, get a flash light or torch app.

Looking to use the phone's LED flash, as a notification... text messages for example.

why? that would kill battery like crazy, not to mention it would heat up the led bulb to the touch.
Try light flow on the market. They have a lite version but you may have to be rooted. I don't have time to try it right now but should work. As for heating the led that's not even a concern.

Lightflow does allow for led use. Ive used in the past with the hox.

if i wanna use my phones LED to cook meth, who cares... while i can see the LED using a lot power -im only looking for a couple fast blinks when a text is delivered, thought this was a native function within CM9/10, but thats not the case.
Oh what I'd do for a multi-color LED like the original nexus
+1 for light flow. Go sms also lets you set the notification light. The HOX displays green orange and red.

Was your phone around any type of moisture? Or did it get wet somehow? I've read in some of the water damage threads that some people experience the red flashing notification light after it's been damaged from water.
No i dont think it got wet it was on top of a table and the room was cool and dry

Some apps use a red notification LED by default. I know my fiancee uses the SportsCenter app and it pulses the LED red when there's a notification.
i see the same happen on my G2, usually when i pull into my driveway and i connect to my wifi
I'm a relatively new nexus 5 user and am sometimes confused by what the color leds correspond to. Is there a tool that will indicate which app sends which color led signal?
I know Push Bullet gives me green notifications. I'm stock as well.

I am rooted but using stock rom.
Various apps utilize led notifications but it is hard after a while to remember which color corresponds to which app. I thought there might be a tool, not to modify them but just to list which app sends which color. But I guess not.
Thanks.

If I remember correctly, the LED light does flash red when the phone is charging, I myself downloaded Light Flow, which allows you to manage all aspects of the LED light, I like it much better than not having control over it . But like you said you did nothing, so must be just an app you have.
I wonder if an app that monitored the logcat could deduce who the heck triggered the light so you could at least find out what app was responsible?
