[Q]Soft key backlight issue on NS4G

Hey guys, I'm running cm7 on my nexus s 4g and sometimes when the screen is off the soft key backlight comes on. Wondering if I'm the only one with this issue.

I think that is the BLN (back light notification)
It's suppose to come on when the screen is off if you have a text message or something like that.
Look for an app on the Market called "BLN" to turn it off

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

No but I don't for my nexus 4 either

Dunno what I've done but I'm getting a blue pulsing led for texts so that's a start

Can someone clarify what's going on with the notification light ?

Hey So I thought I fixed my notification light but noticed it only works when it wants to is this a problem with kit Kat ? Or just my phone and how do we fix this to work everytime ?

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

You could try illumination bar app its written for the Sony xperia range but you never know it might work. Works great on xperia sp.

Lightflow lite works on all of my and my wife's devices. Pretty good app.

Seconded. Lightflow is a great app. I've had the paid version for years now.
