is there any app other than Light flow that can be used to customize the LED.. i am not a big fan of Light flow drains the battery!!
does any ROM support this feature! I think AOKP had it but now since its in a very early stage of development does it include it?
besides its been a day since i have got my nexus 5 i realized that i don't have any notification when the cell is charging I am on stock (but rooted) is it a problem?

No, no notification when charging unfortunately, You will get notifications for missed calls, mails, appointments etc though.

Are you saying you dont get a blinking light when a notification is received while charging? Or are you saying you dont get a light INDICATING that a charger is connected? Your wording is a little confusing.

Ah, good point. To the OP, If that's the case, then the answer is yes, it's normal.

i dont get a charging notification what i mean is the led doesnt shine if a charger is connected..
i recieve the normal notifications irrespective of the phone being on charging or not!
to make it clear i dont know that if this phone has a led indicator exclusively for charging!
my earlier phone had it!
so now tell me friends!?
and thanks a lot alll of you!:good:

You could see if Light Flow will let you do that. I'm not sure honestly.
CyanogenMod (and I assume other ROMs) has that built in.
Ledblinker app is better than lightflow in my opinion

Latest Gravitybox module allows you to set how often the LED light blinks for notifications. I set mine to blink every 3 seconds.

No notification light?
Ok wtf...
Not even a running charge indicator, no notification light? I mean it was so awesome on the nexus one and most every other android device with some form of glowing indicator light...
Now i dont know if a message or anything is waiting i have to keep turning on the phone. What a pain... Cant put a led in there somewhere?
Or is my phone screwed up?
Also, on two phone calls tonight the phone shut down and restarted...............

I dont have a NS yet...I have been reading the boards and trying to decide if I want one but I have a Fascinate and since its been rooted and debinged its a good phone but stock it was crap. I use something called BLN to notify me when I have a text or email. It lights up your buttons at the bottom. Its in the market but I think your rom has to be made to use it..I'm not sure about that but you might want to investigate that...it works better than NoLED.
I have no led running now. It works. I have it set to blink So it flashes the TV off animation which is cool.
Honestly. If You already have a galaxy s phone don't bother with the ns. I had my n1 since the day it came out I needed a new phone. There are many things ivwill miss about it. Like the desktop doc.....
More threads about this? Really? Can we have a mod lock this please...

Thats kinda what I been thinking...
Best buy couldn't get my upgrade info so I paid full pop. Was on phone with t mobile and bestbuys system couldn't get it happening so I can still get another phone suplimented. Tried a mytouch 4g but returned it. So much t-mobile garbage on it plus gotta pay for wifi teather
BLN ftw, wait for a kernel that implements BackLightNotifications and then download Blinky which makes your softkey's blink ever few seconds when you get notifications.
So awesome. 3 out of 4 calls ended with the phone restarting
Sounds you guys are having even more trouble than Galaxy S phones, I hope it gets sorted out soon.
I can deal with a dropped call but having the phone restart wtf.... I may un install everything and go from there adding one app at a time

Left hole (circle) is the proximity sensor. Right hole (oval kinda) is the ambient light sensor. Hope this helps.
Does this phone even have a led notification light? thats the dots next to the earpiece right?
I ask because on my phone, i never get any LED flashing notifications when i receive a text, email, miss phone call, or etc.
Ive searched all throughout my settings but to no avail.. help?
Thats not an LED. It doesnt have one! Search. Its been discussed over and over again
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.

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.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
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.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
If you enable the front camera you can see a small circle spin round the lens before appearing as a solid light alongside it.
I look forward to seeing what custom ROM developers can do with this, perhaps this LED can be triggered to light up (and stay on, until cleared) when notifications come through.
It is already available below. It works very well on my 8T and I purchased the premium version because it's so good.

I set it to only show for 5 minutes max after a notification and slow down the interval. I don't notice any significant effects on battery compared with a normal always on display.
I use the same app and battery life is fine. I have set it to repeat for 45 min maximum

I've started using this and it is awesome. Only one thing I'm getting is my phone locking up. (Unable to wake up screen)
I have to hard power off and restart.
Uninstalled the app and no lockups. Install the app and I'll start experiencing them again. I'm rooted with only Adaway and V4A. Maybe it's a setting in A11 I have as well? I really like the app and already bought it but it does cause my phone to lockup.

I have no idea why it happened to yours, mine is working perfectly fine. It does override the stock AOD when it happens, but doesn't freeze my phone at all.

I downloaded this yesterday and enjoy the notification ring. However it's definitely causing battery drain for me, so it will probably get uninstalled soon. I only have it on for a few messaging apps, not facebook or anything like that.
Also since installing, the screen doesn't always want to turn on, I had no issues prior and this app is the only thing that changed.

What do you mean when you say it doesn't want to turn on. Are you having to reboot your phone to get it to turn on. That's The issue I'm having.
I've disabled ambient display completely within the system settings and so far my screen hasn't locked up. Still testing it though.

More of it doesn't respond until I push the power button a few times. It doesn't happen every time, it's occasionally. But it's frustrating when it does that.

I got the app yesterday as well, works really well as you said, apart from the fact that the battery drains with this app.
Anyone know any way to make it less drain?
I'll say it again...this is the one to use...no battery drain, no lockups. It can notify you around the ring, or around the entire screen.
Just try it...what have you got to lose?

This is why I made this thread, third party notification apps tend to be a mixed experience as you can tell by the responses in this thread. I tried AodNotify today and I'm already annoyed by the fact I have to double tap to wake twice in order to wake the phone. Other users are experiencing crashes, battery drains and/or inconsistent notification alerts etc.
When the feature is built-in in a custom ROM, it just works. As in the screenshot below (from an older phone with LED):
Tried aodNotify app. Posting the battery usage screenshots.

This doesn't show the reality. Use the the dots on the top left to show the total device usage. It gives a much better impression.
I for myself don't see any impact on battery life using that app.
Is it normal that during the notification the LED does not turn off completely when blinking?
I have noticed it is more of a breathing effect then a blinking one. So I would say yes.
