has anyone worked out if its possible to have the n5 led lit while charing.
i find it odd that when screen off and on charge theres no way of knowing if its charging or not.
Get LightFlow
Yeah, LightFlow definitely provides this functionality, it's what I got it for, in fact.
LED manager does too.

Does it work if the phone is off altogether? Mine doesn't, and I don't know if it's an issue or not.

I don't think we can ..... anyone know different? Maybe when there is the keyboard dock, does anyone have that yet?

Could try something like noled until confirmation on dock leds?
good call, but I'm hoping for real led, like what I have gotten used to on the desire. its probably won't matter as I can't put the thing down.

Little O/T but after switching from N1 to NS, the lack of LED notifications was a bit wierd. BUT noLED is great and I actually prefer it over the LED blinking now.

NoLED wouldn't be good for the Transformer. NoLED was designed around OLED devices, that can have most of the screen off, and only a few pixels on at a time, with very little battery drain.
An LCD on the other hand, would be fully on, and drain the battery like crazy.
I quite liked the vertically long LED on the Xoom. Not something I'll particularly miss, but it felt rather familiar.
This doesn't seem like much of a problem to me really. My N1 makes a noise/LED lights for a notification, I pick up the tablet and check it. I have a different notification tone for both text messages and general notifications, so this system works well for me.
Perhaps when the dock gets released, we can repurpose the caps lock LED to be a notifications LED... I'm not sure how well that would work, or even if it would be neccessary?
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?

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.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
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
Hey guys I was having this same problem but I downloaded this app called notification light widget by Motorola and added it to my home screen activated it and my notification light has been working since just tuck the widget away on a side screen . its a good fix for now

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.

Phone just arrived!!! woooooooooooooooooooooot
quick question... havent turned it on yet, just have it plugged to the wall and charging. but I noticd the LED light isnt on at all... no colour... im used to all my phones having an LED light on when charging.
when I tap the power button, it shows me that it's charging (a white battery that fills up animation)...
is this normal? dont care much, but would just be good to know for the future...
thanks! tried looking, but dont see an answer

It's normal. Apps such as lightflow can enable a charging light but there is no stock charging notification light.
Why didn't you just turn it on and use it? No need to charge the battery prior to usage.

It's in Settings, under Sounds. Make sure the box next to "Touch Sounds" is unchecked.

No worries. Anytime.
There is no stock charging light unless you download an app like lightflow.

Do you happen to know if Lightflow enables a change in color from red to green upon the phone being fully charged? Thanks

You should be able to as there is a separate setting for"charged". Just set charging to red and charged to green.

Yes it can. This is exactly what I do with Light Flow on my N5. There are three different settings for "low battery", "charging" and "fully charged". So I have it blink red rapidly when battery hits 15%. Then, I have it solid yellow when charging. Finally, when it hits 100%, it changes from solid yellow to solid green to let me know when it's done charging. It works flawlessly. Obviously, you can set whatever color you want for these different settings.

Lightflow is pretty awesome. You can have different LED colors for different notifications from various apps and control their pulse rate. Paid version lets you customize for 3rd party apps.

So has anyone done any research to figure what the battery drain, if any at all, is caused by the LED. Curiosity got the best of me and i had to ask.
I don't think the LED causes any noticeable battery drain. They use extremely low amounts of electricity.
