Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anybody knows of a way to any way to brighten the notification LED ?
I notice it is very dim compared to my old S7 edge and i know you could change the LED brightness so just wondering if there is a way to do this with the Pixel 2?

Good question, I'd like to know the answer to this also.

Any further information on this? Almost impossible to see when phone is lying flat on my desk. Would be nice to see it as bright at Samsung S7's.
"Light Flow" in the app store gives more control over the LED. You can control colors and flash rate, I can't remember if you can control intensity but it may be worth a try.

Is there a Super Low Brightness Mode on this phone or on the International version? I could have swore there was such a thing for the HTC ONE M8... Thanks in advance.
The closest thing I can think of is the "brightness settings" component of GravityBox (a Xposed Module)... I don't know if they work, as I have never fiddled around with them, but you could always give them a go.
I use the app called night mode to do this as well

I use Lux Auto Brightness (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux). It's the best automatic backlight adjustment app I've used (I had some problems with running out of memory on my Galaxy Nexus, but no such problems with my M8). It lets you set the backlight so low the screen is almost black.

Just wanted to say thanks guys! all these are great workarounds. I thought I saw a sense feature for Super Dimming mode or reading mode like the S5.

This app hasn't been working for me. It doesn't change brightness regardless of the light in the room. Yours has been working fine?
Yeah it's been working great for me. Are you using a screen protector? Lux relies heavily on the light sensor on the front of your devices (which on my M8 is seemingly infinitely better than my Galaxy Nexus was). A screen protector can interfere with the amount of light the sensor collects and mess up the very sensitive Lux app.
Has anyone thought of changing the leds to brighter ones?
Wondering if someone tried that(and failed? ..no seriously I'm just wondering if someone tried to replace these smd leds to better ones)
Led technology evolves quite fast so they should be better leds out there by now, or having the same brighness but better power consumption(less heat)
just use an external LED gadget.

This is small talk about mods and curiosity guys, @chenrp no need to do such thing just wondering
@Mr.Ak far from perfect, if it was Xenon flash brightness that would be true but it's not ..especially outdoor the "flash" is next to useless

Hmm,it's pretty much fine here on outdoor too.I don't recall even any custom kernel having " Notification Led Brightness" feature,though there are many color changing features.
Well,you can use ambient display too or you can set the camera flashlight as a notification light,then it would be bright,lol.It would be similar to S Light feature introduced on Note devices, there's an app on PS which does all that.

Led notification has no purpose of changing heh (who uses flash? hmm why not be able to use it?)
---------------------------
Others leds that NEEDS to be changed are the hardware button leds, these are VERY dim(can't see them unless completely darkness. I could try such changes myself if I has a spare 1+1 that I didn't care if it dies in my hands(anyone care to donate a phone for the greater good? ahhahhaah) ...I'm good with my hands but I'd never try to mod such things in my daily driver, it would be great for the hardware buttons to use "proper" leds there
Hello,
As the title says, is there a way to reduce the brightness of always on display? It's too high and it's distracting for those around me.
Would love to that as well, but I think there is now way system side...

I think it uses the auto brightness setting for the display as I see it getting darker or brighter depending on the light. There is no way to adjust it separately afaik.

Thanks for your answer, but it doesn't. I already tried to turn it off, but it keeps changing by itself.

As @ewokuk said, it uses an auto brightness feature, but not the user-adjustable one. It's fixed, you cannot make changes to it unfortunately.
I don't mind the brightness, but I'd give away my first-born to get rid of that battery percentage indicator on the AOD

Hey, a bit late but but noone could give a pleasing answer.
Just double click on the clock of your always on display, you will get a option scale to set the brightness level as you wish.
A bit late, bit still useful. Thank you!
I know on the launch they talked about the light on the edge of the screen.
I don't see this option on my phone or I am missing something??

You're not missing something, it's supposed to come in a future update soon. I think it was mentioned in that ask me anything on oneplus.com
Think it flashes for one second. Dont have the phone but I think you can enable it in display settings somewhere

Reviewers already shown that it's already working.
I don't have the device yet to tell the steps find the edge lighting setting.

I've looked everywhere for the option. I couldn't find it.

Mine has the light on the edges with notification

I have it now. I literally tapped everything that had notification on it. Will have to investigate to find which option exactly it is

There is no option that I found to turn it on or off. It just works....When you receive at text you will receive a blue light is going to appear down the curved side of the glass. It happens really fast. They should really have an option to extend how long you will see it for.

You probably just need to have ambient display enabled for new notifications. Bit of a useless feature mind you.Needs inprovment to flash or pulse but could then become a battery drain
According to an ask me anything session in their forums they are looking into making it more customizable and are also considering adding Always On Display:
Q: Any enhancements in OOS to utilize the curved display in 7Pro?
A: Edge lighting for notification would be a handy feature and we are still considering to add more features that will utilize the curved display in future.
Q: Are the edge notification colors customizable?
A: Not as of now but its something we are considering for future updates
Q: Is there any consideration of added a Always On Display feature? I currently own the Galaxy S8 and I actually like the AoD feature.
A: It's still under consideration. We are working on improving power consumption efficiency for this feature before we implement it.

The edge lighting is pretty useless as is. It flashes for one cycle then disappears. I don't understand how OnePlus thinks this is of any use. Normal people don't stare at their phones all day hoping to catch a glimpse of a notification. I also don't want to have to pick up the phone or tap the screen to check. They opted for no LED, so make edge lighting persistent and customizable. The promise of this feature was actually one of the main reasons I upgraded from the 6T. The 7 Pro is a very impressive device but edge lighting in its current form is worthless.
Isn't there a Notification Reminder in Accessibility

I was just getting ready to post this. I used it on my 6T, S10+ (untill Holey Light came out) and now also using it on my 7 Pro.
Once set up it works great.
Still don't have the phone, but does this app cause the phone not to go to deep sleep (causing loads of wakelocks)? And does it contribute to screen on time? (meaning that the phone thinks that you're using the screen while it's only the edge lighting that is on).
Makes sense to stay until cleared (comparing with Samsung devices all the time clock on). At the end this is the same display which can handle it without too much battery drainage
Hi,
I will buy P40 lite. I just have one doubt: the lack of notification led. Is there any workaround for this missing led? The always on display works with IPS display or is a battery sucker? Will l have to renounce to the notification for the sake of the battery?
Tank You.

Whether or not you buy the device hinges on whether or not it has a notification LED? That is ridiculous. Not all devices have or will have a notification LED so you may as well get over that and get used to using devices that don't have notification LED.
