My notification led suddenly got turned on and and its not turning off. I didint apply any settings to turn it on. It keeps on, even when the phone is switched off. I tried clearing cache and dalvik cache, but no use. Please some one help me. Its been now around 12 hours.
Pls help
Unplug your charger... Should fix it.
Or if you're on a custom ROM disable it in the settings
Other wise install moto led app
Bro.. there is no charger connected. Even when the phone is switched off, the led is on. I tried the led app, nothing changes.

well than its a hardware defect. i heard it also turnes on when battery is to low to even power the display but idk,
Did the phone become wet recently? Sometime ago one person reported that after his phone was dropped in water, the led turned on and didn't turn back off. If even a factory reset dosen't turn it off now, sadly I guess you may have to send it to Moto.

Same problem with LED on Moto G 2015
My daughters phone has this same problem, just turned on one day and has never turned off even when powered off. I would like to avoid rooting, but would if needed in order to use some of the apps available but require root. Have not factory reset yet. Maybe opening it up and disconnecting the battery. Any ideas. Thanks
Same thing happened to me about three months ago. I had the phone in my pocket while working in the yard. I guess I was sweating too much, phone was wet when I took out out. The LED was on and stayed that way for a while, although it did get dimmer over the next few weeks. Finally after about a month, the LED went out and hasn't turned back on since. Just give it time and see what happens.

same thing happened to me, I was unaware of the fact that moto g3 has a led, it would be on even when the phone is switched off, but after days the led faded away on its own but not completely I until I rooted and tried different ROMs, now on stock ROM and the led is no more shining.

I really don't know if this is possible or not.... but I might need to get some new corduroys after a case of the brown adrenalin with my new sensation.
Got it Friday as could see progress on the rooting and sure enough Revolution came up with the goods same day. Rooted it Saturday.
Fully charged it, switched it off and went back to the HD2 - flip case and car kit arriving today. Really don't wanna damage my new boy toy by pocketing it with car keys etc.
Stone me though I thought I bricked it. Wouldn't switch on this morning - just a dark flicker of the screen. Sweat pouring off my forehead. Never bricked a device and flashed my HD2 & TP2 a million times and my £450 unlocked handset is 3 days old and dead..
Long and the short of it is plugged in the charger again and a few minutes later it powers up - 3% battery.
Is it possible it could drain switched off? Or should I blame the kids for messing with it and deduct my dry cleaning bill from their pocket-money?
After I rooted, I had to do a battery pull until I was able to turn my phone on again, although this doesn't really replicate what problem you had...
The battery does not drain if the phone is turned off.
Question is, was it definitely turned off?
Even if it wasn't, there's no way a full charge is going to drain overnight... Unless you had a Satnav running...

You're right - it SHOULDN'T... I'd rebooted no problems several times after the rooting. Some OTA update came over and didn't install successfully though.
It'd be very odd (and a warranty issue, get ready to go into rooting reverse) but for now I'm inclined to just blame the kids. Unless anyone else has has similar experiences.
I guess time with it will tell.
EDIT: Apparently it's a known issue and has been fixed with the new CWM update! See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Ah ha, looks like it's not just me!
This just happened to me today and I had to change my pants because I thought I bricked it. I rooted it and installed InsertCoin no problems!
Today, as it jumped off my WiFi and onto the mobile network it got stuck on "Disconnecting from Morsolo's WiFi" and just sorta froze there (the phone still worked, but it wouldn't fully disconnect from WiFi, so I got no mobile data).
I turned the phone off via normal methods (40% Battery)... Then it wouldn't turn back on. The phone was a little bit hot at this point, but it does heat up so I thought nothing of it.
For a good 30 minutes, nothing happened. All that I could see happening when I attempted to turn the phone on was, the screen backlight would turn on, fade off, turn on, fade off. No boot, no recovery, nothing.
I tried charging it and it would show the indicator for 2 seconds and stop charging (but this is a known issue, apparently it continues to charge regardless).
After numerous times pulling the battery, trying to start, charging, battery, start... I finally managed to get it to boot and it said the battery was at 3%... After the phone was STONE COLD DEAD for a good 30 minutes to 1 hour.
...I just got home (with a dead battery, of course) and now that I've plugged it in again, it wont boot, again.
I think we've discovered an issue.
EDIT: Good man. Thanks for the update. Better get onto that right away.
Yup.. that's the same experience... except I'm still on stock rom with tweaks.
What do you reckon - flash back to stock and see if it still happens? Really don't want it turning into permanent paperweight with an iffy bootloader for someone at warranty to find with their JTAG.

It's a long history.
One day, my Moto G stop charging. He charge until 1%, then turn itself on, and when it was on, it wasn't charging. I thought that was a OS/software problem, but nothing was sloving. I send to warranty and there they send me back saying that a piece was oxidated and was my fault, so they can't help me. When the cellphone arrive back, it was charging normaly. I really doesn't understand. But my PC wasn't showing the smartphone when plugged in the USB port. I started to use AirDroid.
I have a little struggle to update to Android 4.4.2 but I did it. The smartphone was really weird, but I let it go. Now I have the most annoying problem. It keep turning off by itself. I don't know if is software/OS, hardware, some app, something I'm doing wrong, but it's driving me crazy.
Please guys, help =[
P.S.: Sorry my bad english.
I had same issue where it turned off on its own and wouldn't charge. I plug cable to wall charger and held power button for 1 minute nothing happened so I kept pressing power button repeatedly until it vibrated and started charging.

So, it's charging normally now, but it keeps turning off itself. Another annoying problems is that it turn itself on when I connect it in the USB port on my PC, but not when I plug on wall charger.
Sorry for the double post, but I'm don't know what to do anymore! Please, someone help me! Any ideas!
Try this
Plug it in
Hold power button for 2-3 mins
Leave it charging for an hour then unplug
Hold power button for 30 seconds it should vibrate and boot

I guess you missing the point: I CAN charge and I CAN turn it on. The problem is that the cellphone keeps turning itself off at random. Random time, in random activites.

Hi are you able to connect the phone to a PC? If so I would transfer important data and then do a factory reset to see if that solves your issue sounds more like a software problem to me.
Already did a Factory Reset (the one in Configuration, the one the Fastboot just normally boot the device) and the problem persist.
So no one can help me? =[

does the phone fades purple then goes crazy then shuts down for a while then turns back on?
It did it when I did something different, trying to turning on or recovery, I don't really remember. I remember that I freaked out, because the screen was black, without changing, than I did a reset (Power + Volume Up) and then it reseted.
You already try charging with wall charger? Maybe your PC don't have enough power to recharge this phone
I was able to charge the phone, Anyway, the device stopped to turning off alone. By itself. I didn't do anything different.
I'm so confused.
Something is shorting out inside, probably due to the said oxidation, which will most likely result in such behavior.
If you know how to do it, just open the phone, take the pcb out and clean it well with a dry contract cleaner and a hard toothbrush to remove any oxidation and possible residue.
Later I was thinking that could be it. So if anything goes wrong, I'll do it or ask to someone with a little more experience to do for me.
Thanks.

Some Moto G's do turn themselves ON when you plug in a charger, I have 2 and both do it - you connect the phone when it is turned OFF and then it turns itself on! Sometimes if I plug in the charger and turn OFF the phone quickly it stays off.
It's a bug / feature / quirk but it's unfortunately normal so you can discount that as being a problem related to your other problem.

I'm having this exact problem too. The phone is less than a month old. Twice this week its happened. Phone was close to fully charged on going to bed, I still checked some emails while it was plugged in.. the charging symbol was also on, so I know it was charging ok when I put it down... then in the morning, wake up, phone is off, but the battery display is showing 100% (The big one shown on screen when it is turned off)
Potentially if I was only using my phone as an alarm, I'd have not woken up. I always use a backup, but now this Moto G worries me!
Seems a few people are having this issue!
Hi

http://www.techdroider.com/2015/08/moto-g-3rd-generation-also-have-hidden-led.html

Disconnect your USB cable, is it still lit? The LED is a charging indicator in some ROMs but the fact that it is on when powered off is odd. If the LED is lit and no USB cable is connected and the power is off, this sounds like an electrical issue inside the device but to be sure I would do a full factory image flash and test it.
We all know it has an LED, have for some time... but it is hard wired to the charging circuit so when activated it only shows charging status and nothing else. If yours is one all the time, it could indicate a problem with the hardware.

It looks white. Even mine just flashed up one day for 0.5 seconds. You can do it to. Just discharge your phone completely until it turn off automatically then goto a very dark room cause the light is to dim and then plug your phone. You will see it flashed up for one second
Does that mean a USB cable isn't required to make it glow
Since you can't touch the battery, I suggest you discharge it it completely . Keep it mines it can be dangerous though.
Hi
It glows even if i switch off the phone. I have asked Flipkart to replace my handset. But they were trying to say that i should take it up with the company. I was stern and asked them to replace it since it is just 15 days since i brought the phone. They have told me that they will send the engg. tomorrow. Will keep you guys posted.

Awesome.. I want thay
Did you get this issue fixed ?
Same issue !!!
Even I have the same issue since yesterday .. LED is always ON even after powering off the device. Any Idea how to resolve this issue ??
Did you get any solutions for this ?? I am also facing the same issue , I did a factory reset. But the problem still exists.

It's applicable also to Moto G 3rd gen.
If with
echo none >/sys/class/leds/charging/trigger
LED stays on, it must be an hardware failure.
I have the same problem! Since two days ago the front LED is always switched on!
Weird, it popped up just an hr ago in my moto g, gen 3 as well bought in India, via Flipkart and won't go away. It has a flickering (seemingly pseudo random) characteristic in periodicity as well as luminosity potentially indicating a short-circuit of led power-circuit behind front speaker(s) or worse, some fourier optical-transmission pattern. It flickers even when powered off and that says something about this LED behind front-speakers. A factory reset also did nothing to it.
Hey guys! I aslo facing the same problem.i tried every thing except Root. I have tried power off, battery 100% drain,factory reset but nothing can stop led. please suggest if any one have its solution
i have tried these apps, and one of the kernel for our device can turn it on without any app, but what i want is enable without any mod or app.

Hey man did you managed to solve this issue? My led started glowing a few hours ago, I have 3 months with the phone.
Hi all,
is the issue still solved? today my phone has started to show the same thing,even after it's powered off the led still glows mildly. it's been 5 months i'm using it. I've wiped data,cache,system parititions then flashed a stock LP rom but the issue still exists. From custom Kernel if the 'Battery Light' option is turned ON when the phone is being charged it glows brightly. It's really uncomfortable to see it's lit all the time. I wish I could have removed that LED light from there lol
Anyone please have a look
Hi!
I have the same problem with the white led. I contacted Motorola Support (in Canada) and I got to send my phone to a service center. I just got my phone back and they say it's not repairable because of a liquid damage to the main board. The thing, my phone never got wet!
I don't know if others who contacted Motorola got the same result...
I just had one start doing it too... if warranty won't replace it then I think I will damage the LED to try and disable it to hopefully rid of any extra battery drain.
EDIT: Well i'm not sure about this because i was thinking about drilling with a super small bit down to the LED to disable it, however i don't know how the earpiece speaker functions and whether it would damage it's function as well.
I just got the moto g
I had updated to marshmallow just after opening the box.
It's the second day of the device and the display just turned black all of a sudden. On screen buttons gone too.
I pressed the power button and the screen turned off. When i turned the screen on again after 5 secs the screen turned black again.
I turned the screen off and on again.
This time the screen kept blinking. It didn't turn off just the contents of the screen kept blinking.
After I rebooted the phone, the issue disappeared.
I'm not sure if it is a software bug that happened or early signs of some hardware issue. I still have the 30 days for replacement.
Rest of the device is working fine.
Has anyone found the same issue?
I am using stock software, no root.
Yes brand new stock moto g updated to m and had the exact same issue, it's happened once a day so far to me (I'm on day three of owning the phone) A reboot fixes it but it's annoy I don't want to have to reboot the device all the time. I can see it being annoying trying to get the device swapped because when I wipe the device to give it back to the shop it will be working fine :-\
It just seems to happen randomly, nothing to do with a certain app I don't think, I can't replicte it when I try to figure out the cause of it.
Hi there!
I was just texting on whatsapp with 89% of battery and suddenly the phone rebooted and stuck on the Huawei Logo. I shutted down to turn on again but nothing happen since that.
I already tried all methods to turn on, and nothing happen.
I put it at charge even if no light or screen turn on, just in case it lacked battery, and after that tried again but nothing.
Also the phone was unplugged when I was texting and all was good.
Any idea?

i'm not the expert here, but i guess it was motherboard issue due to no light or cannot even turn on the phone.
if it motherboard, i suggest you buy a new phone coz as far as i know it's gonna coz you a lot.
but you can try to fix it.
