I noticed this after I got my phone. All notifications are green including fully-charged, while Red is for charging. Does the LED really don't have a Blue Color?
Correct. The HTC 10 just has RG LED, no RGB.
Oh ok. That was helpful. Thank you.
This my main gripe with this phone. Was very disappointed to see such a simple feature missing.
On my old phone I used the Light Flow app to set different colours for all sorts of things. Simple things like being able to glance at the phone and know if it's a work or personal email was soo handy.

Hi all! I'm trying to figure out if Desire Z would work for me, if I should buy it or not. I have read all the threads on led I could find but thngs are still unclear to me. My provider sells the Desire Z with android 2.2. still. I want to be able to use at least the 3 possible colors of notification led to set amber just for sms, green just for calls and red just for battery for example. From what I could find Led me know stopped working when 2.3. update came for Desire Z. If I DON'T update however, I can not completely understand which possibilities Led me know beta gives and which not. For example, can I choose which color I want for sms and frequency and lenght or will the color for sms be the phones' default one (if it has one).
Or is there any better application with which I could also update the phone and be able to shoose color, frequency, lenght? The pre relese for 2.3 Desire Z does not work right?
Also I can't seem to find anywhere where the led is located. Is it behind speaker girll like on sensation?
Thanks all!
Can't change colors if there is no color to change ;o). No the only colors you get are the ones you've seen already

Really? I understand I can't get blue, magneta etc, but I can't even choose for example if I want red for sms and not green?
nope. i mean the app is free just try it. but the trackpad only has 1 color and the charge indicator only has the green and red.
led me know not really meant for our phones
I can't try it, I don't have the phone yet lol. I'm asking this in order to decide wheter or not I should buy it.
I don't understand why it is not at least possible to use the existing colors in customised way. If amber color does exist, why not be able to set it for sms?
How visible is the led behind the speaker grill? I have found it is hidden behind the grill right?
You can set the top led for red, orange, or green. The buttom (trackpad) is white only. Ledmeknow allows all that on 2.2... 2.3 it has problems with. If you want GB and led mods, go with light flow. But still red, green, orange only of course.
But yeah, the mixing doesn't work. All the newer HTC models are like that. I'm not sure why... but you can combo top and bottom led at the same time and they are all very visible. The top led is behind the speaker grill but is extremely visible still. Enjoy your new Desire Z/G2!
What do you mean by mixing?
Does Led me know or Light flow require root?
Looks like an interesting App for controlling your LED notifications. Try it out and report your findings!

This didn't work on the Epic 4G, would be nice if it worked on this device? Is it only red and blue or is it multicolor?
Seems to work fine...
sent from my damn EPIC TOUCH 4G!!!!
If anybody uses go SMS you can change the led to a couple different colors and even change it for individual contacts
Epic 4G touch only has 2 colors for notification LED - Red and Blue

I'm using Handcent & I got a magenta light for when my girl texts me. I did choose the color "green" tho.
I am getting three color choices with Light Flow paid version. Blue, red and purple.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
what are you talking about, Purple does not work with paid version, it's red and blue!!!
Purple is a choice in the paid version for me. Of course, the actual color is more like magenta but it does work. I have Direct Mode checked in the General Settings menu.
Good to hear some feedback on this...similar results here. Wishin we had more color options!
I've only found three that work:
setting > looks like
Blue > Blue
Green > Purple
Red > Red
Purple is of course just red+blue lit simultaneously.
This is in Pro version, NOT Direct Mode.
White = fast blinking red color.
Also I noticed that the led stays lit for a long duration of time when you choose red or blue. Then it blinks off really quickly and back to on...kind of like the reverse of how it is normally. Any way to fix that?
Thanks for pointing out that white will rapid flash. That is just what I needed!
this did not work for me at all? does it only work on rooted phones?
Dont know if anyone uses kicker but my led stays magenta when I get a message

Hi
Just for info. There shouldn't be any difference between the free version and the paid version of LightFlow for color controls as they both use the same code. The only differences are the length of time it takes to cycle around the notifications and the number of apps supported.
As for the colors, the app just sends an ARGB value to the phone (when running in standard mode) and then it's up to the phone to work out how to interpret it. It's good to know white allows for rapid flashing (odd interpretation there samsung, but at least it's more choice). This is the quote from the android development documentation regarding color representation "Not every color in the spectrum is supported by the device LEDs, and not every device supports the same colors, so the hardware estimates to the best of its ability."
If anyone wants to have a play with the app "LED color tester" by coolbeans in the market to see if they can get any more colors (e.g. rapid blue flashing etc) then let me know and I'll try get the extra option put into lightflow. Note, to test using LED color tester, you'll need to uninstall lightflow first as lightflow will take over the notifications, preventing control by the tester app.
Direct mode writes to the files directly in unix that control the leds. At the moment it'll write out a 0 or a 1 to the brightness file for either the red or blue led. My guess is that some other values allow for the flashing. If only there was some consistency between phones, things would be so much easier! I'm also planning to add the option to allow custom brightness values to be sent for the leds which may help control things a little more.

WHere do you set that for a single contact?
is it normal that my LED colours seem to have multiple colours in them.. like example if i set the notification ligth to be orange ( with paranoid rom, but did the same on stock with lightflow) the light will be half light red and the other half will be yellow.. or green and blue if i want light blue.. it seems i have to mess around with the colours value (RGB) to get just one solid colour and not a mix of multiple colours..
this is hard to explain.. so if you know what i mean please let me know.. if not i can take a picture and upload them here!
Thanks
It's my understanding that although it IS an RGB LED, that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be able to recreate every color you could dream of. There's actually another thread here in the S3 section (Forget which part) where people are compiling a list of different Hex values of colors that turn out really well.

thing is is that im using ParanoidAndroid rom, and i dont see the option to add a hex value.. i can only pick a hue and slide the colour around ..
Well, in my experience with that, it seems to have a better color output for the LED if you don't have the saturation all the way up..... Say if you were shooting for a pure red color, have the slider down just a bit from as bright as it can get. Seemed like whenever i tried using that to set LED colors, if i had it all the way up, it had something else mixed in.... generally i think a bit more of a white color to it.

yea thats what ive been doing, seems to work alright, was just wondering if it was normal for it to have mixed colours. thanks, what you said works !
OK so why can't the ZF2 US version not let you display diff colors for the LED light? I'm using handsent SMS and the diff colors wont work and I have also tried using lightflow, etc to have diff colors for diff notification apps. Is there a workaround that people have found?
Thanks.
I too have been trying to find a way to get this work. Unfortunately have not been successful.
Anyone got any tips ?
What colors does the LED support? I have seen green, orange, and red. A friend of mine claims to have seen yellow.
What situation shows red? I haven't seen that one yet.

I just got my Zenfone2 last night and also noticing that it shows a red light when charging, and a greenish-yellow light for fully charged and all notifications. I am very surprised to see it's not supporting multiple colors. Anyone know much about this?

low battery, I think it started blinking @ 10%?
Are there any apps that will make the colors work, or does this phone just not have color capabilities? I tried LIght Flow and Light Manager but they don't seem to take over (maybe I'm doing it wrong) even after giving the apps the necessary permission.
No idea,I tried with light manager too but it seems it doesn't support variety of colors or maybe none of this programs are compatible with the zenfone 2 yet

ASUS Zenfone 2 notification LED
Same problem with Zenfone 2 US version.. Lightflow just won't work. There are only 4 colors that the Led displays. A yellow for all notifications(no matter what kind or source), a very pale yellowish green for fully charged, a yellowish -orange for charging, and a red for low battery. That's it. No matter what I do, there are no other colors. Lightflow doesn't change anything.
Any change? Or there is another way to make them work?

Obviously, you didn't include the right combination of LEDs. Maybe blue and/or green is missing. Stupid decision Asus. All of the LED notifications are pretty much the same color except for low battery and charging. Stupid.

When your battery remains in between 15% to 0% the red light should blink.
The Facebook messenger app is the only app I've ever seen change the color. It blinks red when a message comes in.

Shi** phone, my last asus phone ever. I am a fool who changed Samsung for asus... Dam it
Just got a Pixel XL from Google, for my battery-issue plagued 6P.
Found out about the LED notifications and they work. Now that I'm using 3rd party apps (Lightflow, etc.) to customize it a bit more, the LED lights up w/ funny colors. For example, Orange looks mostly orange, but with a green part at the bottom right of the LED. Same with red, as there appears to be some blue in it. I never noticed this mixing of colors when not using the 3rd party apps.
Any chance the Pixel XL was refurbished, but the LED was borked and they didn't check it? -OR- is the 3rd party apps messing up showing singular colors?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
try a diifrent app to see if that works,i been using light manager on the xl and it works excellant
Red green blue colors should be exactly red green blue, because of nature of 3 LED light. But if it is different as you say, phone led calibration might messed up so may be you need to adjust the colors manually. I think light flow must have a hex code selector for colors.
I'm using light manager and those three colors are a match but others of course mixed.
