Low battery perhaps?
(Do you have lightflow or another such app that controls LED notifications?)
My battery is still 45% at that time

Was your phone around any type of moisture? Or did it get wet somehow? I've read in some of the water damage threads that some people experience the red flashing notification light after it's been damaged from water.
No i dont think it got wet it was on top of a table and the room was cool and dry

Some apps use a red notification LED by default. I know my fiancee uses the SportsCenter app and it pulses the LED red when there's a notification.
i see the same happen on my G2, usually when i pull into my driveway and i connect to my wifi
I'm a relatively new nexus 5 user and am sometimes confused by what the color leds correspond to. Is there a tool that will indicate which app sends which color led signal?
I know Push Bullet gives me green notifications. I'm stock as well.
I think i found the problem its my zynga poker app that gets a red notification light

I am rooted but using stock rom.
Various apps utilize led notifications but it is hard after a while to remember which color corresponds to which app. I thought there might be a tool, not to modify them but just to list which app sends which color. But I guess not.
Thanks.

If I remember correctly, the LED light does flash red when the phone is charging, I myself downloaded Light Flow, which allows you to manage all aspects of the LED light, I like it much better than not having control over it . But like you said you did nothing, so must be just an app you have.
I wonder if an app that monitored the logcat could deduce who the heck triggered the light so you could at least find out what app was responsible?

You can go to settings-apps.Check to see what is currently running. What kind of apps do you have that run all the time?

That's what they mean.
Notification light within the speaker
Is this what you're referring to?
It only shows up if i have the charger plugged in. Orange when charging and green when charge complete.
Shouldn't this be where your alerts are shown too? I have them set up via this menu:Settings > Display < Notification flash , however i never see any light come on when i have new messages.
Won't work, fascinate had an amoled screen which o believe can turn on individual pixels. The tbolt has an lcd screen which uses a backlight which only lights up the whole screen

He's referring to the backlighting on the soft keys, not the actual touch screen.
This would be great if it's possible. The notification LED is horrible on the TB.
Backlight support, if I remember correctly, has to be built into the kernel... I've only used it with Nero rom on the Samsung Vibrant, never on an HTC device. If you don't like the notification lights on the Thunderbolt, you can download NOLED app from the market... It works well on phones I've tried that have no notification lights like the Nexus S...

Hmmm... never heard of that app. Will check it out. Thanks man!
bumping this hoping its possibile now
now that the source is out
I use an app called "Flashlight Alert" from the market or can be found on the XDA forum.it uses the LED to alert you of email, text, google voice and calls. It's free and doesn't require any additional addons.off that does catch your attention then nothing will. I even used it on my Xoom.
try "missed message flasher" it flashes the backlight whenever you get a new message. it can repeat until you check it or you can set time limits. tons of options and works for all notifications.
If you're rooted there is an app called light flow that works very well. Makes the led notifiers actually serve a purpose.
Hello All,
Looking to use the phone's LED flash, as a notification... text messages for example.
any suggestions?
Not to sound like a super **** but: have you tried Google Play? I think there's apps that do that

why? that would kill battery like crazy, not to mention it would heat up the led bulb to the touch.
Try light flow on the market. They have a lite version but you may have to be rooted. I don't have time to try it right now but should work. As for heating the led that's not even a concern.

Lightflow does allow for led use. Ive used in the past with the hox.

if i wanna use my phones LED to cook meth, who cares... while i can see the LED using a lot power -im only looking for a couple fast blinks when a text is delivered, thought this was a native function within CM9/10, but thats not the case.
Oh what I'd do for a multi-color LED like the original nexus
+1 for light flow. Go sms also lets you set the notification light. The HOX displays green orange and red.

It seems that some say yes and some say no. How could this be so ambiguous. Can someone with the device verify this in any way?

Yes there is. It is located on the bottom of the front panel. You have to enable the notification using light of course. I did find it odd that they did locate the light down there.
Yes there is! With Lightflow you can change the color of the notifications as well
Yes there is and it works well for me without the need for an app.

Why is it odd that it's down there. That's the exact same position that is at on the nexus 4.

Mine flashes blue for chomp which is the colour I selected, it flashes green for whatsapp which is the colour I selected and it flashes white for gmail. I don't have and led control program installed.
Works fine without app for me using rastakat rom which has a few color tweaks!
Yep, it's got a multi color LED.
Really easy to miss, though. It only flashes once every 10 seconds or so, which is pointless for a LED notification light. It's easier just to unlock your phone and check for notifications, rather than sit around for 10 seconds waiting to see if the light is going to blink or not.
LED manager works great too.

I've been having problems using Light Flow with my N5. Hopefully an update will fix it!
Is it just me, or can nobody else get Light Manager to work properly? I've enabled access to notifications, but despite the fact I set WhatsApp to green and Facebook to blue, they both flash white.
Simply a bug in the app due to a new version of Android, or something more sinister?

No, if you test a notification, the different colours all show up. I'm wondering if the way they have implemented notification access has changed slightly then, or if there is some kind of global override I can turn off....

Light Manager has never worked for me. It doesn't matter what color I assign apps on my Note 2, Light Manager just assigns them whatever color it thinks is right.
Give Light Flow a try. The N5 definitely has a multi-colored LED
Appreciate the suggestion, but Facebook and WhatsApp require the paid version to work, and I'm not paying to test it to discover they don't work on KitKat yet.

You should try Lighflow. See if that works better for you,
well try lightflow ... only get white notification light

Nope. Wondering if this is even possible considering how long it's taking for a module to be available. I would actually pay to have this.

It's an easy edit if you have the ability to de/recompile framwork-res.apk. Edit is here \framework-res.apk\res\values\integers.xml.
Stock:
Code:

<integer name="config_defaultNotificationLedOff">9000</integer>
I edit mine to this timing:

It's a little clunky. Some bugs, not to mention possible battery drains etc. Native solutions are better.
One of the main reason why I ROM is to avoid having to use LF.

I have none of those problems personally. Plus the LED customizations in most ROMs are not as complete as Lightflow.
Oh and it allows me to have Dashclock entries for apps that don't have extensions (e.g. AOSP email app). This is actually the main reason I use Lightflow.
I just found out there is a Modul available for changing LED:

You actually do have some of these problems, but you don't realize it. There's no battery drain issue, bnut there are definitely bugs in it, that are due to Android's handling of the LED.
1. Rapid blinking of multiple colors when turning screen off -- this happens often, but is by design. I've spoken with the developer and he said there's several situations where Android will screw up the handling of the LED blinking and end up permanently blinking until you restart. Part of the fix for this is to rapidly blink a bunch of colors, which takes care of the issue. This doesn't occur every single time you turn the screen off, but it does happen often. You probably just haven't noticed it, and that's the point -- it's avoiding an annoying bug.
2. Blinking randomly when there is no notification --- this is still a problem, but has been mitigated a good bit over the past few updates. The phone sometimes will just blink for absolutely no reason at all. No notifications, etc, but it'll blink.
Those are the 2 main issues. It also tends to crash on occasion, but again the latest version has fixed/improved that issue.

Again, I have never had these 2 issues. You said #1 happens often, then it probably isn't often enough for me. I always have the phone in front of me and I rarely restart my phone so if it did happen, I would have noticed it.
How many apps do you enable in Lightflow? If you have many pending notifications from many apps at the same time, then I can see how it could potentially mess up. I'm letting Lightflow control the LED for 4 apps only (Hangout, Gmail, Email, Whatsapp).
Light manager is a fine alternative to light flow. I am using it for a few weeks now and it fits my needs.
