charging indicator? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

it doesnt look like the LED indicator lights up when its charging? the only way to tell is if i turn on the screen to look. is it just me or is there a setting to enable a charging indicator?

You may be able to do it with lightflow.
Edit: Yes, you can do it with light flow and I never thought of it. Thanks for the idea.
FWIW I used a wireless charger.

Same issue here
I use Light Flow Lite for notifications and tried tweaking it to no avail. When I plug in the charger the LED flashes for a fraction of a second and then nothing...

[System] Speaker LED – Dream/Sapphire

This adds simultaneous handling of notifications to the Speaker LED while charging, on CM6.1.
Behavior:
If it is plugged in, the light will stay solid (charging). If a notification comes in with the screen off, it will blink green. If you turn on the screen, the charging light will come on. If you don’t acknowledge the notification, when the screen turns off it will blink green again.
When it is not plugged in, notifications will blink green only when the screen is off.

So it works for the G1 and the G2? Thats interesting.
Now that I am not on Cm6.1 and rather on the official 2.2 AOSP this could be useful, thanks.

this is for the g1.
i have a seperate module for the g2 (in the g2 section).
Ineresting. I was always upset that I'm not able to notice any notification while charging phone, maybe now the problem is over .
excuse me does not work, the LED notifications for sms,mms,twitter and missed call. I'm not talking about when it is charging but during normal use.
It works for email. Twitter has their own handling and so does sms/mms. Missed call should also come through (which has not changed).
Missed called led notify should be on for missed call.
However, in earlier versions of Froyo (2.2) the led notifications worked . Because now they do not work

ill see if i can look in to it. that's out of the scope of this particular mod though, but any amendments i make that stem out of this module will be committed to the same git place and posted here.
It's kinda like Always Flash in the market. I'll give it a try and see if it uses less ram.

[Q] Problem with Inspire LED notification signals

Before I rooted my HTC Inspire 4G, if I recall correctly, the notification LED worked like this: it has two colors, green and orange. When plugged in, it will show orange while charging and green while charged. The LED only blinks to indicate a notification if the screen is off; if not plugged in, it blinks green. If plugged in, it blinks the opposite of the charging color. At least, that's how I think it worked.
What I am certain of is that I can no longer get the notification LED to work properly. I've been trying a number of different ROMs recently--Existz, Revolution, CyanogenMod, CoreDroid, RCMix Energize Blue--and in none do the notification LED work perfectly. Some of them do blink the notification LED, but only if the screen is off and the device is not charging. If it is plugged in--as it is the vast majority of the time--the LED does not blink to signal a new notification.
I've tried the LightFlow app--didn't fix it. I've tried NoLED as an alternative, but am not happy with that.
Is this just a quirk of all the ROMs, and I should expect that? Or could it be that something got messed up in my rooting and romming, and if so, is there a solution?

1. If Im not mistaken it stays solid orange when charging (plugged in)
2. Solid green when fully charged (plugged in)
3. Blinks between orange and green when there is a notification. (plugged in)
As far as it staying blinking it should be is setting when you can shut it off or on. Usually its in the launcher settings that your using not a ROM issue. (if Im not mistaken)
If thats thats your biggest worry your worrying about a knife fight while your holding a gun. (lol) No big issue.
I rooted and flashed LeeDroid to mine. My LED notifications worked after rooting and flashing. When charging it's amber, when fully charged it's solid green. Off the charger it blinks green for a new notification and amber when it needs to be charged. Never noticed it blink between the 2 on the charger. Have you made sure it's been turned on in your settings?

I am rooted and flashed Revoltution HD 6.3.2 and mine seems to be working as desired.... I assumed you double checked Settings--> Display --> Notification Flash Just to make sure??

Notification Led

There is a hidden notification LED light on the Moto G3 I discovered long back. But it is only quite some time ago I have rooted my phone. So the LED only works while changing and not while there are any notifications. I tried using Lightflow but that didn't work either. So is there a way to enable it by a zip or an app.
There is a ton of threads about this on this forum.
No, it cannot be used as a notification LED because it is soldered to the usb charging port so it only gets power if it's connected to a power source.
The only thing you can do is use Tasker and have the phone connected to a power source constantly and make Tasker send a command for the led to light up but I've heard there's like a 10-20 second delay so this is not something that can help you daily and barely works even with this workaround.

Charging LED?

I miss having the LED come on when my phone was charging. The Pixel doesn't have that feature.
"Battery Charge LED" works but you can only make the LED flash which is distracting, there is no option to have it on all the time.
"Light Flow" demands a huge number of permissions and wastes loads of RAM, probably because it does so much.
Tried several other apps, none of them worked. Anyone found a good solution?

Is it really that bad that there is no way to control notification led in oneplus 6?

Is it really that no matter how much you pay or what ever you do there is no way to get led control for Oneplus 6 without custom rom?
The things I would need from led:
- When notification comes it would be on not blinking
- When I plug the phone to charger there would not be any light on.
Then there is couple of things that would be nice to have, but not nessessary like ability to put own colors to whatever notification is coming like whatsapp messages to green led and that there would ne no lights on in silent mode or during nights.

Only to realise that it does not work or is there some settings that need to be adjusted? I install that app, go to settings and put led on and plug phone to charger. See the led light burning. Then no matter what I do in software it is still burning.
I've used it for half a year when I had the 6 and worked without a problem. I cannot test anymore since I have the 6t now
