check your notification settings in the email app you are using and make sure that the led choice is selected;
I have used Light Manager and it has various options that worked for me

Is this led is 3 color or just 2

If its the same as the nexus 4 and gnex, then its multi colored, try using light manager, you can test out all the led colors and such but it does require root I think

I have it turned on, but I still get no notification light, even using lightflow and running the test, I get no light anywhere. Maybe I have a dud tablet.

From what we can currently tell it is only a single color, white.

You turn it on under display > Pulse Notification. Make sure that is checked. Lightflow app is compatible but my notification does not work even when running the test on the app.

I am having the same problem which I don't really mind if the light doesn't work.

I could live without it, but since I got mine at a Best Buy, I'll probably bring it back just so I get one that works as it was intended to.

OK, I am an idiot. I stared at the wrong place. I was expecting the notification light at the top but apparently it is at the bottom. Haha

Picked up a Nexus 7 last Friday at Best Buy and my notification LED never worked. Exchanged it today and now it works perfectly. There are some duds out there, I guess.

Download light flow lite, you can use that app to manage notifications for any program you want.

The light only works when you receive a notification with the tablet screen off

Charging light.

Isn't there supposed to be a led or the pulse light on when the phone is on charge?

I don't why but that app won't work on my phone. I am using AOSP (I compiled from scratch) with google apps and root, nothing else. Does anyone else have any issues? I find these LED apps are hit and miss.

Last thing I want is a bright LED blinking when I'm trying to sleep. The LED is for notifications. If it blinks when charging, how would you know when you got a message?

By the color of the LED light of course.
It has an option to dim for sleeping.
I use it sometimes.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Light flow is the best for LED control IMO. It has a sleep mode that allows you to turn off LED notifications between whatever times you want and you can set notifications for most everything you need.

With Light Flow you can set the LED to stay on without blinking. And it will slowly cycle through other colors for any notifications you have besides the charging/charged notification. Also, you can tell a notification turn off after a certain amount of time
For instance, I have my charging indicator set to be a light green -- then when fully charged it switches to a dark green for 30 minutes, then shut off. So if I'm charging it overnight, I won't see the charging notification in the morning -- but I will see any other notifications since I tell everything else to stay on indefinitely.
You can also set the notifications for charging to be low priority. When a higher priority notification comes in, such as SMS or missed calls, the LED will stop blinking the colour of the charging indicator and only blink the higher priority notification instead.

Keep LED on when screen is on?

Is there any way to keep the LED blinking or stay lit when the screen is on?
I'm thinking you can with light flow in certain situations, but to better understand your question, why would you want to?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Agreed that lightflow can do that for you. I just love the app now that I have a phone with led notification again

Keeping the led on kinda beats the point of using led notif..

To keep the LED on while the screen is on AOKP 26 has this built in. Have not seen any other wat to do it though.

Why I have it is when I get a text I don't remember when I'm watching videos till I see it blinking and remember. Comes in handy some points.

Then light flow will work. There's an option to have the light turn off only after the specified app is entered.

I'm running Neutrino mod and have tried lightflow. But the LED only blinks if the screen is off. I have found no function to keep it on. am I missing something?

I haven't found an option like that either. I think our only option right now is to use AOKP or try and figure out how they are implementing it and make an app of our own.
As for those of you asking why you would want this, the answer in my case is full-screen apps that hide the notification bar. I have AOKP and was happy to be able to turn this feature on.

LED notification....

Does the Gnex have an LED notification light? I have yet to see one.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Sure does. Its below the display. RGB too.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
The notification light in Gnex is one of my favourite options in the phone. Some ROMs provide full customization of the notification light ( ex. Paranoid android) . I've set it to flash blue for missed calls , yellow for SMS, green for whatsapp and red for tango
It only lights up when the screen is off?

The rom has to support it, and you have to manually set it up...
I installed light flow. That's how I found it. I'm running Affinity rom and have not seen it work before. Maybe the rom doesn't support it.

Lightflow has been really flaky for me (misses many notification events). The built-in settings in CM10 works best. I don't recall it missing anything.

Except for receiving a phone call . It lights when the screen is off or on. That's at least what my phone does with PA rom
I love how I makes it pulse when I charge my phone.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Yup, didn't know there was one also. I got the point of thinking... maybe the VZW version just doesn't have one :crying:
And then it happened...:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:
Galaxy Nexus + LightFlow has been a great combination for me. The RGB LED notification is a must for me with any future phones.
is a full on Rom the only way to customize it? Only thing id really like to see, is for it to pulse a bit faster. The length in time it takes to pulse is too long imo. I could turn the phone on an look faster than it would take for me to stare at that point and see if there is a message.
use lightflow.

Must have been something with the Affinity rom. I loaded CNA and it works as its supposed to, plus its customizable.

any way to lower the brightness of the led notification?

I love the led notification, nothing like waking up in the middle of the night and looking over and knowing you don't have any notifications because the light isn't going off... but when I don't need a flashlight BECAUSE it's going off it gets annoying... I wanna be able to go to sleep if I'm ignoring it; yet have it there to know I have things to look at.
(first world problem I know)

Just turn it off???
Sure its nice to know if you have a message from afar but really? One of the first things I did when I got my GS3 and Note 2 was go into settings/display/LED Indicator/and unselect all boxes.
i don't think you can lower the intensity, but you can turn off the notifications and us an app called NoLED. it puts a notification on your screen instead. since OLED only lights up the active pixels the drain should be any more than the notification light. i use it with my sammy droid charge that has no notification lights.
Why not just go into settings and turn on Blocking Mode?
You can set the time frame it's active. It can keep led off, notifications, phone calls etc. You can change the settings for it.

From what I know, it remains in the notification panel, as long as Blocking is turned on.

Notification LED?

Doesn't this device have a notification/charging LED? On the left of the speaker grill, there are two lenses or whatever they are, one I'm sure is the proximity sensor, the camera is further to the side, but what is the other?
Just found it curious that the GS3 has a notification light, the Galaxy Nexus had one, but this doesn't?
Light and proximity sensor. One of them is a two piece.

You have to have notification light in settings like the rom I am using now liquid smooth even then only messages will blink in status bar. The notification lights used are the capcitive lights at bottom of phone you can set it to blink fast , slow etc. Also you could try BLN from the market and see if it works for you.

I just downloaded NoLED, pretty cool little program, I don't like the phone button LED's to show charging and notifications so this is a good alternative.

Yup! I recently just purchased BLN Pro because I'm now back on TW based ROMs and wanted the blink feature. Awesome little app.
If you're on an AOSP based ROM like CM, it does this natively and the app isn't needed.

Lol no, light isn't supposed to come out of there. The light sensor there measures how much light there is outside so it could change the screen brightness accordingly... sorry for the misunderstanding though. The only thing we have as notification lights is the bottom row of capacitive buttons.
