All,
Has anyone noticed the green ring and dot that shows up next to the selfie cam when it's being used, like in face unlock?
If so, do you think it'll be possible to use this as a notification LED like previous OP devices? Do we know if other devices with a hole punch have that ability?
I don't have that and I'm on the kb2007 t-mobile variant

I have it on mine. I wish it was available for use as a notification. Until it is...if ever...I use the app listed below and it works great! You can make the sides, top, bottom, or all of them light up...and you can make it light up just around the selfie camera...looks great. The settings are a little wonky but once you figure it out it is really cool.

You talking about horizon lights? If so, you got to have AOD on for that. It'd be nice to have a built-in notification light that didn't involve wasting my battery with AOD.

Battery is so good with the AOD on though. Also, why is battery a concern with a phone that charges to 100% from 0 in 38 minutes!?

I wouldn't really call it a concern. I just don't really feel the need to have always on display on, so there's no need to spend any battery life on it regardless of how small.
Plus, I am a little concerned in the back of my mind about the long-term effects of warp charging all the time on the battery. I know they have a bunch of built-in sensors and all that jazz, but still.

Hi. Are the buttons supposed to light up? Mine don't. Is this normal?
They light up on mine.
It does look like it is controlled by the light sensor.

More specifically only in certain light conditions. The buttons rely on the light sensor to tell them when to light up.

Any way of stopping them lighting at night? Reason I ask is I use Gentle Alarm and when 'Night Display' is enabled they will remain on even when in Night Display mode I press the power button off then on and they still come on? Not had the problem on other phones.

Don't think it's on the market these days? I have found a copy but need to be rooted - but thanks for suggestion. I'll root at some point but my One S may need to be returned as currently in discussions with HTC over mobile network reception.

It works when its placed on a flat surface. I also believe it works by using the proximity sensor which of course also uses light sensor so it can see your hand in the dark. I really do hope someone can get this to work on our GSIII.
Its cool. Don't see why it would be useful though..

You're at work, sitting at your desk. Your led light is blinking and you want to see what you've missed.
Hit a button? Who does that nowadays? Simply hover your hand over the proximity sensor and bam! You notice you've missed a text, which can wait. Carry on with your work, son.
Or you can wake your phone when the led is blinking, respond to the text, and then waste time on your phone reading XDA when you should be working.

Wow, that is pretty nifty. Let's be honest, most of the GSIII features are mostly just cool things to show people with SOME (but little) real application.
I would love this as well.

I wonder how much battery this consumes as it'd have to keep the proximity sensor active all the time.

So after seeing a few posts of people complaining about having to buy Tasker just to turn on the LED. I decided to help those people out and create a simple app that runs the shell command to turn on the LED on our Moto Xs
Of course props to whomever figured out these shell commands (please reply with who it is so i can give credit) and to the dev of RootTools
Once the requirement of the phone being plugged in for the LED to turn on is bypassed, this app could become a whole lot more. But that's a big road block.
In the meantime this will simply turn on your LED based on the setting chosen and based on whether your battery is fully charged or not. This app was designed for the Moto X only (4.4 rooted) but has been confirmed to work on the new DROIDs too (Maxx & Ultra)
Usage:
Select an option for the LED: heartbeat (pulses like a heartbeat), battery-charging (solid while charging), battery-full (solid when full), battery-charging-or-full (solid when plugged in), mmc0 (pulses based on disk reads/writes)
Select a brightness.
Save if you want to use your choice for when the device is charging or it's battery full - or hit both buttons to save it for both scenarios.
Scroll down and select if you want it to the apply your settings on boot then hit the execute button
Change log:
1.5 - Source code uploaded to github: https://github.com/StephenMilone/MotoX_LED
1.4 - No more crashes =)
1.3 - Fixed 1.2 issue of it not automatically switching from charging to full (hopefully - i haven't had time to fully charge my device to test)
1.2 - Added ability to pick different settings for battery charging and battery full
1.1 - Added Brightness options
1.0 - Initial Release
Have you thought about adding being able to change the brightness? echo # >/sys/class/leds/charging/max_brightness #=0-255

We'll see how much this app gains interest, that is something that can be worked on.
But it seems the LED only goes on when plugged in, regardless of setting.

Great app and option! Does the LED turn off when fully charged? Thank you for making this.

whats the heartbeat option?
@StephenMilone it would be cool if you could make it so that when it's charging you get the heartbeat, and when it's fully charged it stays on.

Works on Droid Maxx! XT1080
Confirmed working on the Droid Maxx, which unfortunately has a much uglier LED than the Moto X. @StephenMilone, do you mind if i post a link in the Droid forums?

I'm not sure, but use battery-charging and let us know! If not, I can add options that if charging do one option (like charging), if full do another (like none)

Does this mess with active notifications? Meaning, if I turn LED on using this, do AN's cease? Thought I saw that might be an issue using other methods.

No, you're good. At this point, this has nothing to do with notifications.....only an led for charging.

So, just like all the previous Moto phones, this one has a hidden LED too!
Using root and any kernel tweaker with an option to adjust leds, you can switch it on. It seems to be only white as far as I could tell but it's there! (In the middle of the speaker grill on top)

How bright is the LED? It might not be useful because of the front flash unless it's a dim light. From the picture it seems bright though.

A more useful thing to say would be, ' I wish edge lighting could be customised on a per app basis and show be useful for more situations such as if screen recording flash around edge of the device red or something to show you that you are recording with your device or camera or whatever, or they could use the notch LED ring to do something like this.

Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
Even with aod always on, edge light set to always, edgelight+, notifications enabled. If I get a message on hangouts for example, the little icon appears on the aod screen but edge lighting does diddly. Same for the other non Samsung apps I've tried, not that there have been many I've tried thus far.
Now if I happen to have the phone unlocked and happen to be looking at hangouts and receive a message, edge lighting works as expected... but if I'm already staring at the app it kinda makes it pointless.
