A week or so ago, I installed LightFlow just to see what it was all about and utilize its "solid led" function instead of the stock blinking led. Come to find, it is chock full of features and it was looking good for me but some of the main things I wanted out of it weren't quite working the way I wanted them to, so I simply un installed it.
The problem I now have is that when my screen is asleep, even when plugged in the red led telling you it's charging won't show up, and none of the other led notifiers work either, so I think I essentially broke the led notification function of my phone... :banghead:
A reboot doesn't help the fact either... Anyone got any ideas?
I forgot to mention that when shutting down, the blue LED is on like normal, so the LED itself isn't broken.

So you uninstalled Light Flow correct? Because I haven't heard of it ruining LED's even after an uninstall. Are you using a TW rom? If so, have you turned the LED indicator back on under Settings/Display?

It seems my notification light is not working regardless what I do. Has anyone else had this issue after rooting and loading the fission rom?
I'm able to reproduce it as it happened both to my phone and a family members phone. I returned to stock rom by SBF and still my notification light doesn't work anymore.
Anyway idea's on how to fix this? Is it possible that our current rooting process breaks the notification light? I have also already tried booting into safe mode to make sure it wasn't an app.
mine works just fine running fission.
Well unfortunately mine is not working at all in either stock unrooted or rooted forms. This only started after I rooted the phone. Please don't tell me Motorola added a new "feature" that breaks the notification light if the phones been modified.
I would really like to figure out how to fix this .

Notification light only works with screen off, you know that, right?

Oh I know that. Light will not work with the screen off. I've sent my self several emails to test this. I also have events in my calender at 9:00 a.m. 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. which should also be triggering the light and never do. And no I'm not sitting there with the screen on waiting for it.
Every time I sent my self and email I waited to hear the sound notification and then waiting 2 minutes after yet still no light blinks. I think finally turn on the screen to clear the notification from the bar.
Even my facebook notifications which should trigger the light don't either. So far for the last week I've had no notification lights at all no matter what I do.
Right now I've SBF my phone back to stock and have left it unrooted and I'm still not getting any notification lights with the screen off.
I'm not stupid and know that the screen must be off.
possibly the LED is broken...these things happen. it may or may not even be related to the rooting either could of just coincedently broken at the same time. since youve returned your phone to stock and it still doesnt work then that seems the logical conclusion. not sure if someones found a service mode yet where you can test the LED, thats the next thing to try.

That is a possibility but I find it quite unlikely that both phones would have broken notification lights at around the same time.
Is there any applications out there that allow you to flip on the notification light without notifications? I've seen some applications that allow you to change the color of the light if your phone supports but.
I just got this thing yesterday, so I'm not sure if it's a defect or supposed to be like this, but:
1) When I plug my phone in, no light comes on to confirm that the phone is plugged in. (Usually on every other phone I've had, as soon as I plugged it in, a small green light comes on to let me know it's plugged in.)
2) When I get a text, e-mail or missed call, again, no light comes on.
(Usually a green light would blink constantly until I check it.)
That's about it.
Can anyone please confirm how it should be?
1. There is no Notification LED. So no lights can be lit. The way to check is to plug it in, and on the top status bar, if the battery animation is going.. it's charging. This is Android 101.
2. Same thing as #1
-- A way around this, if you REALLY want it is to root and to flash a custom kernel that supports BackLight Notification (BLN), most (if not all kernels) have this feature. Out of all of them, I'd recommend using Netarchy's kernel.
There is nothing wrong. Nexus S does not have an LED light.

Thanks my friends.
Yes, I will now root and flash kernel/roms.
I just didn't want to go through the trouble of rooting/flashing if the device itself was bad. I feel much better now. Thanks.

The device isn't bad. Its meant to be rooted and hacked from the beginning. Its a dev phone.

Hi all,
I know the Atrix 2 has the green blinking LED that seems to do nothing except blink with no rhyme or reason that I can see... it acts more like a "I'm on and working" LED than a notification system... Can this LED be programmed for notification? Can it blink in any other color besides green?
That was one thing I loved about my old Windows Mobile Tilt/HTC Kaiser - the LED would blink orange/red if there was a missed call or text message - I didn't have to turn on the screen at all to check...
It would be really nice if the LED on the Atrix 2 could do this....
Mine does only blink for notifications.... As far as different colors???? Idk

There are several apps that allow you to set options for the led. Light Flow seems to have the most options.

It can with Light Flow - but i thought it bugged out my system, so i removed it..
Now, as for modding the led without an app... that's a different story that i've been looking into, and it doesn't seem to have a happy (or simple) ending at this point..

Excellent info! Thanks for the heads up on Light Flow! Works like a champ!
i use light flow
Um. Yeah. It blinks white when you have certain notifications, it blinks blue for Facebook, it blinks green for texts and emails, red when the battery is low, it can go purple. You must not use your phone that much...
That's all stock, mind you.

I had no idea. I've never seen it blink in any color other than green and then when it did I didn't have any notifications so I assumed... and it appears wrongly.
Thanks for the info. I'll pay more attention as I go... and yes, I've only had the phone for about a week (I traded my Dell Streak for my g/f's Atrix 2 since it was giving her fits) - already loaded Lithium 1.2.1 and this phone rocks!
Hi guys!
Iam having a problem with notification led diode. It doesnt work. I havent seen the light yet.
I just tried Light Flow app but it also wasnt able to light the led up.
So i assume that my phone is broken in that part and the diode just doesnt work on my Nexus 5.
Does anyone have some the same problem?

I installed Light Flow. Took a few minutes before I got any lights.
There's a test mode in light flow. Might be worth trying that too.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 4
Test mode in LF didn't work for me. I was going to uninstall but then I noticed the battery charging light came on. Now all of the programmed lights in LF work for me. I have not retried the test light feature.
light flow might have just glitched up the led for a bit. If it stops working again, try clearing app data, or reinstall, or uninstall light flow altogether. It has been known to have some issues.
In light flow you have to turn off the screen after turning on test mode, if you haven't tried that already.

Yes, the screen MUST be off for the notification light to illuminate. In addition, at least for Light Flow, it can take several seconds for the notifications to light up, even when performing a test.
Same problem here and it's going to back for a refund. It was actually a replacement unit for the first one which had speaker issues.
I tried everything and never saw the light come on once while the first unit worked fine with the same settings.
try this

Just tried it on my phone thats going back tomorrow and it didn't help sadly.
Anyone else noticing any LED notification inconsistencies? It seems the LED has a mind of its own. Sometimes shutting down the phone and restarting seems to help, other times not.
I'm on pure stock and version 4.4.2.
I'll get an email and get no notification at all. Then I'll get another email (same application) and then get LED notification. Sames goes for SMS. It just seems so sporadic. There is no notification ever for missed calls at all.
I've tried programs like Light Flow and Light Manager, but really don't want to pay for the pro version of Light Flow to make my LED work as it should and Light Manager seemed to conflict at times with certain apps.
The LED notification is one of the most important things to me. It just needs to work and work all the time. Seriously thinking about trading my Nexus 5 for an LG G2 because of this.
Op turn off pulse notifications in settings reboot phone and than turn it back on and reboot.

Pretty sure I've done that before, but I'll give it another try. Thanks.
Sorry can't provide a solution, but I can confirm that I've had that issue on CM11 and SlimKat. But then I had it on my GNex with various ROMs sometimes too. I had just kind of resigned myself to the LED doing its own thing...

Well, it's not working as it should. What good is an LED light for notification if it works when it feels like it. I explained why I don't want to use either of those apps. Again, the LED light should work properly. It doesn't. I never had any issues with the LED on my GS3. It worked all the time without issue.
Every phone has its issues. I know it doesn't help but for the record I do not experience these issues. Never installed Light flow as the default functionality "just works" and even blinks more often since 4.4.2 I hope light flow isn't causing more issues then it helps.
