[P40 lite] notification led - General Questions and Answers

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.

Isn't the notification led used for text messages, missed calls, etc, the same led thats used for indicating if the phone is on charge or not?

Thats how it was for my G2...

Notification light

So, I rooted the device and opened up EX kernel manager. Clicked on Misc in order to change the I/0 to row, and saw LED trigger on the bottom. Thought it was odd, so clicked it. Switched it to battery charging, connected my charger, and bam. Up top, right below the headphone jack above the earpiece. Not sure if it's rgb, but very happy about this. Can't wait to explore further and we get some custom ROMs out for this device.
I'm no dev, just looking forward to what's can be done with this
Yeah, I had seen a similar post on the Moto X (2013) xda! However, as far as I know, no custom rom made good use of it. Counting on you
I'd love to see the option of choosing which notifications light up the LED and which goes to Moto Display, since there isn't an Amoled on this device... Like priority notifications go on Display so you can interact, and things like games notifications on the LED.
But maybe I'm dreaming!
@dictionary : Thanks so much for the good news.
Been a great day for the MXP - rooted + LED notification all in 24 hrs.
Does it get any better than this!
I've had mine just under a week and so far have been really satisfied with my purchase.
I was missing Xposed and getting to grips with the lack of a LED for notifications plus realizing just how many ads I wasn't seeing before so it's a win win day for Motorola fans.

If you have root, you should try to install Light Flow (lite) and see if it can interface the LED on the phone. It was working on my Nexus 4 (with root). That would be a good reason for me to root my moto x play now...
Please report if you do.
Thanks!

Good news! Unlike osprey, where some hardware needed for LED notifications without the charger plugged in is missing, everything needed in hardware for LED notifications is present on lux. I got LED notifications working nicely on the stock ROM with my kernel (that is under development).
Great news! Looking forward to hear more.

Is it just the one color, or does it support multiple colors?

I think it's white only.
My kernel build with LED support is up on the original development section.
I don't think it's a notification led. It's too bright and intense that it could be a little dummy flash for frontal camera. I think that motorola released this device pretty soon and hide many components that were planed but not finished.

It's a notification light. They are used so that you know when your device is about to die on battery, or when it's off and next to dead. Otherwise you'd be hard pressed to know.

In the Moto X 2014 model, there was a green LED that would light up only if the phone was too dead to even light up the display to show the "dead battery" icon.
I'm guessing the same is true of the LED here, but luckily we have a kernel that uses the LED for notifications. Works really well with the Motorola flip cover for this phone!
Does someone has a picture of the LED working? I'm curious about it.

Changing the Dual LEDS

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

Any way to brighten notification LED ?

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.

notification light

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.

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.

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
