LED and battery charging - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is my first Nexus and the one thing I can't get used to is no notification light to show when the phone is fully charged. Does anyone know of a mod or anyway to make the notification light stay on when the phone is fully charged? This way I can tell when it's charged all the way.

Check out Light Flow.

As mentioned above, lightflow. That's what I'm using on my Nexus 5. Works great!

Ditto. I use Light Flow to make my light pulse orange when charging and green when full. I love it.

Feel the vibration? Hear the noise? God forbid you actually turn it on????
In all seriousness, there is an app called noled for Samsung phones that uses a part of the screen for the "led." Thing is they have AMOLED screens so turning on a few pixels is perfectly acceptable and doesn't kill your battery.

No notification LED indicator?

For some reason, my led indicator isn't showing no led even when checked on those 4 options in settings... Ever since I restored my backup from a recent Aosp rom, that been happening. So I charge my s3 and still nothing, I tried light flow and other apps from the store and still nothing.

Nevermind guys, I fixed mine by plugging my s3 to my pc then resetting

Notification LED?

I'm assuming the nexus 5 has one, but I haven't seen what it looks like or where it's located while watching some YouTube hands on videos...
Does anyone know or have a have a pic of what it looks like/where it's located?

The notification light is at the bottom of the phone in the middle.

use an app like Lightflow to set up different coloured light notifications for different apps.. eg Facebook message will flash blue, sms is white etc.
I've yet to see my LED flash for any reason whatsoever

Blinks every 10 seconds by default, useless. Use lightflow to control it with your apps
Mine only blinks sometimes with texts emails and so on. I know it's 10 second intervals but someone's it did nothing at all

Does the pulse light work now?

Or is it a bug with the latest update

Mine works. Whenever I get a message, email, facebook notification, etc...
Did you enable it? Settings > Display > Pulse Notification Light
The only thing I miss from my S3 is that the Nexus 5 will not light up when plugged into the charger. Red for charging, green for done.
Use Ledblinker app and you can add those functions in as well as choose colours for any app notification
