[Q] LED notification when charging - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hey guys bought the Nexus 7 about 2-3 days ago
is the LED notification light come on when charging?
I haven't seen the LED light come on since I bought the device
Do you guys think it's defect?
ps. already tried to turn it on with led notification app and still no light

Its only for notification and must be turned on in display setting.

For example - light starts flashing if an email arrives while display is off.

run light flow from market. It has a test mode to see if your LED works.
Also you can set it up to blink the LED when charging and stay solid when full.

Mine turns on when I get emails.

Notification LED only pulses on notification when the screen is off. It pulses very slowly, once every about 10 seconds.

It depends from the apps. For example in Facebook, it pulses every 2 secs but when in hangouts, it pulses every 10 secs. My best guess to change this would be to either install a custom rom, or like many said install lightflow from the play store.

For future use, that's generally the standard protocol with any app where you need to test / maniplate the led.

I thought my notification light may be defective as well... I tested with light flow and it works, odd that it does not light up when receiving an email or other notification? Must be a software issue? On stock rooted ROM and stock kernel.

Customize led notification?

I want to be able to change how fast the led blinks bc every time I look at it I have to stare at it for at least 30+ seconds to see if I have a message. Thx

If you're rooted you can use the app called light flow. It allows you to change the color of each notification light and the frequency it blinks at

Light Flow
You can use the Light Flow app to manage your notifications. You can alter the light speed (slow to always on), and light color, along with vibrations.
It's nice to be able to know whether or not you got an e-mail or a text, with only the vibrations in your pocket.
Check the market, comes in a "Lite" (free) version and a $1.99 full version (more apps supported).
Root is not required. I've been using it on my nexus since the day I got it.
Careful with Light Flow, When I installed it and set it up, whenever my phone went to sleep mode the program wouldn't allow my phone to wake up again. I summarily uninstalled it and got a refund.

An update from the developer takes care of this issue. The app works as advertised, quite well too.

I also recommend Light Flow, it has worked flawlessly for me. I really like how it allows you to choose whether you want the LED to rotate through all your notifications, show the most recent, or show the highest priority.
You don't even need to be rooted to use light flow!
is it possible to add WhatsApp to lightflow?
(I see its supported in "additional apps supported by light flow", but the device only detects Google Talk in social apps)
Yes, default colour green.

Go with Lightflow. Another nice feature for us crackflashers is, Lightflow will let backup your settings/preferences so once you set up a new rom and install the app it takes 2 seconds to restore your settings.

Recently whenever I enable lightflow in accessibility my phone gets all ****ed up and I can only do something if I use 2 fingers

I have never saw my Galaxy Nexus pulse LED light?!

I don't believe mine works, or has ever worked. I didn't even know it had a notification LED until yesterday when a friend showed me on his Galaxy Nexus...also from Verizon. So this makes no sense where is my LED how do I make it work!?
It should just work, there's an option on standard rooms to disable the LED in the display settings. Mine just lit up by default from first use.

Use the app Light Flow to control your LED. It gives you a lot more options than the standard Android one.

I downloaded Light Flow and I have the screen lock on and set it to test all the LED lights. Screen is off but phone remains black, no light whatsoever.
Do you have "pulse notification light" checking in settings>display?
Seen, not saw.

Yes I have it enabled I think I have a faulty device.
I would get a replacement then if your LED isn't working.

i havent' tried light flow, but my led only lights up when my phone is ringing :\
Well, dang. I'm having the same problem. Will download Light Flow and see if that does anything. If not, it's back to Sprint. Sigh.

Charging LED overrides notification LED?

Hey guys,
Ever since ICS update, the charging LED completely overrides all notification LEDs.
I used to have k9mail LED color set to white which results in the LED blinking red whenever a new email arrives. This works perfectly fine if the phone is not being charged and this also worked before ICS but this no longer works.
Anyone else notice this with their E4GT?
Thanks
My notification light has never worked except while charging it glows red, blue when full then unplug and sometimes it stays red

Yeah this beg has been there since the early leaks, Samsung screwed us on that one and I guess Sprint never made it a priority to fix. This works in aokp though so I figure it also works in cm9 and other aosp roms.
I don't even use the leds they just blink and drain the battery. I have them disabled for everything including charging. You can't see it blink in your pocket so all its doing is wasting your battery as it blinks away unattended and it has notifications and vibration to alert you to an incoming message. No real point in having sound, vibration, an icon and a light for a notification. Plus ICS doesn't handle the LEDs properly and they keep the SoC from going into deepsleep causing excessive battery drain. You use less battery to click the screen on and look for an icon than you do with the LED blinking til you check it anyways.

[Q] Notification light stays red all the time SPH-L900

For some reason the red notification light turned on and stays on even when the phone is turned off. It only goes off when I remove the battery.
It stays on and is a steady red light, it does not flash red.
I've only seen the notification light flash blue when I have a missed call, text message or email, but I've never seen it turn red before and it stays red all the time.
I know the notification light shows red when the phone is charging and the screen is off, but I turned off that feature a long time ago and that feature is still off.
The red notification light was off when I put the phone on the table, but when I looked at the phone an hour later the red light was on and stays on constantly.
It's the notification light on the left side of the earpiece on the phone. This has nothing to do with the sensor or camera that are on the right side of the earpiece.
In the Sprint manual it is called the Status Light, but it is also called the Notification Light.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
