I depend on the LED to see notifications when my phone is idle.
I've read that charging the phone forces the LED on and blue.
Assuming I will be rooting, and using xposed, is there any option available to disable this such that the LED functions normally at all times?
Notification light comes on as normal even when charging.

So what's the blue LED that is forced on when using dash charge that I've read about?

Basically, while charging the phone has a solid blue LED whoever if you get a notification the blue stops and is replaced by the blinking green or whatever colour for the other notification is

No idea about it being forced on while dash charging but that's just to indicate it's charging at dash speeds. Notification alerts will blink priority over charge indication.
What I think: When you charge at 'normal' speed the led is red, with dash it is blue (and this can't be changed). That's all... Like said as soon as you get a message it will change until you checked it.

I think you're missing the point.
Suppose I have an notifications for specific email accounts that's blue and red.
I'm on the other side of the room (or in bed) and I glance at my phone to see if I have anything I need to address.
The LED is on and Blue/Red.
Do I have an email or is it charging?

*sigh*
Let me be specific.
I want it OFF when charging unless there's a notification.
Can I do that with some combination of
1. Stock software
2. Root
3. Xposed

No need to *sigh* when people try to help you. Just making clear how the situation is, i see it it too hard for you to see if a led is blinking or not. Good luck finding a solution.
I know I won't waste any more time here.
If you are willing to flash a nougat based rom ( as I have flashed AOKP N 7.1 on mine), you'll get the option to disable charging led under lights in display settings.
P.S. Not sure other N ROMs have got this option or in stock OOS or CB.

That being the case, would you recommend any particular 6.0.1 rom (that does allow me to disable the charging LED) then?
I'm trying to get as close to stock Android or at the very least stock OxygenOS as humanly possible while still being able to disable the hardware buttons in favor of enabling the software ones.
Just to update, I found (still on my Nexus 5) an option in Gravitybox to disable charging LED. I don't know if that would work on the Oneplus 3, but it looks hopeful. I'm likely going to make the purchase soon then.

Well, in short, the notification led doesn't flash red anymore when an event takes place (missed call/sms). The phone has been upgraded from wm5 to wm6 a while ago and if I recall correctly, the led used to flash at that time. However, since it was simlocked, I had it taken to someone for unlocking. The guy reinstalled wm6 on it but that didn't help the unlocking procedure (it's a T-Mobile Dash actually, which are a bit more difficult to crack, requiring obtaining an unlock code from a central server based on the IMEI). I'm not sure at which point the LED stopped working, but right now it's not working anymore.
Any ideas ?

Well, this is what I posted on HTCforums as well, but didn't get a reply. As of yesterday, I have also upgraded to win mobile 6.1 (and WOW, this is all I can say ... just ... WOW) from 6.0. However, the notification LED issue is still happening.
The issue is somewhat annoying since I have no way of knowing whether I have any missed calls or new text messages.
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: I also have an Asus v1210 (Vodafone 1210) with winmo 6.
Try this...led utility
Thank you for the reply. Installed the app, and it seems like quite a useful little thing. Unfortunately the LED issue still occurs, still no red blinking. At this point I'm considering a more low tech issue such as the LED itself (well, just the red part) being damaged. Currently I have the upper LED displaying green and yellow (when charging) and the lower LED blinking sometimes, just no signs of red lights
could be, the only time i seen a red led on mine was when the batterys low.
I thought the only LED you could use for notification is fast flashing green for the Excalibur, at least that's all I could find after looking in many places for different color notifications.
If anyone does know how to get different color notifications or solid rather than flashing please share.

If you're using FRX7.1 it already does it.
Mine flashes green when I get a text or voice mail and red (orange?) when I get an email.

Indeed, to the first part. FRX07.1 now has userland control the LED's instead of the sleep state.
So this is what I've noticed thus far. When plugged in, the LED will be orange for charging below 90%, and green when above 90. The notification I believe trumps it tho, and AFAIK the only notification from email/text/etc should be green blink. The only time I've seen orange blink is when the battery is critically low! Pretty sure that's all the feedback it provides, let me know if you guys see something different.

oh! until now I have knew that why the LED turn on green while I 'm connecting it to PC ( firstly, I don't why and it turn on green only when battery 's full ).
Dear Arrrghhh,
as my idea it turn on orange while it's connecting to PC ( sync or charge a battery if the power less than 100%) until to 100% the led will become Green it notice for user know that battery 's full )
Could you please create more function as same as WM while connecting to PC, I thing it will be longer life of battery
it's : user will have 2 choices ( agree or not agree charge battery while connect to pC)

Uhhh... mine definitely blinks green when I get a text. Perhaps I have it backwards and when it's plugged in that notification trumps the other...? Are you using some 3rd party app to handle texts? You get no blink on or off the charger? I don't know why it wouldn't work for you, but does work for (literally) everyone else.
You didn't change anything with FRX07.1? Nothing? Just want to make sure, because if you did something like move to an old rootfs, userland notifications won't work properly.

My experience is just the opposite, charging (solid, orange or green) trumps notification (blinking). That's how it works in WinMo, so it wasn't a surprise to see the same in FRX.

I'm using K9 email which (in theory) lets you set the LED color, but no matter what I use it's always orange.
I do also get blinking orange for critically low battery.

If you did remove it from /system/app, just pull the apk out of a fresh system.ext2. Or just throw in a fresh system.ext2 file, you won't lose any data assuming you leave the data.img untouched/intact.
The new message notification LED on my (new) LTE Gnex only flashes once or twice, just when the phone boots up. Doesn't flash when a new message arrives. I've tried disabling it, and re-enabling it in settings, but it just does not work. This does not seem normal, and I'm wondering if I need to return the phone, which I really don't want to do. I've already unlocked the bootloader and rooted, but still running the stock ROM.

Have you tried Light Flow from the Market?
This has worked with the stock ROM.
I personally use Trackball Alert Pro - MoDaCo ROM has suppport for this.
Just tried calling myself, and hung up. The LED isn't lighting up. But I have seen it blink for emails at least. Hmm.. maybe try light flow.

Have not tried any 3rd party apps, yet. First I wanted to know if there was a problem with my phone, or if this is "just" a bug. If others have this same problem, then I'll try a 3rd party solution. Thanks for the feedback.
Tried the same thing, called myself and sent messages with no led notification. Thought my led was broken but then installed light flow and it worked no problems.
Not sure how it was supposed to work stock but could not get it to work at all without a 3rd party app.
Without the app, the only option I could fight was pulse notifications which I tried turning on and rebooting but it never seemed to work.

Just tried light flow. When I tried the "test LED" function, my phone would no wake from sleep. Also got sleep of death when I got an email. Had to do a battery pull. Any solution for this?
I looked at Trackball Alert and it requires Paul's ROM, which I'm not ready to try (yet).
I noticed it doesn't light up when it's charging either. Is this normal behavior?
From what I've seen so far the stock light is a hit and miss for me. Only time will tell how they will improve this.

Yep. Probably don't have/use most apps that support it for me to notice it all the time.
I've been having the same trouble. Haven't seen the light in days.
I went back and revisited some of my settings. I had turned on the setting for the screen to "stay awake while charging." I unchecked it, and now my light is working again.
Now, it only ever comes on when the screen is off to begin with. It won't come on if the notification happens while it's already on.
But at least the light comes on when the screen is off now!
(And I really wish the blink rate was higher. You can look at it for several seconds between blinks, and think there's nothing and look away.)
So the change I made to the settings seems to have fixed the light issue. I have been properly getting notifications since I turned off the keep awake. Seems like an easy enough to fix bug as long as they know about it.
But now what I want is a faster blink rate. One second on out of every 6 or 7 seconds is easy to miss.
I've discovered when ZF2 is connected to USB (to PC), then LED doesn't display any notification. It always stay orange or green depending on charge status.
When ZF2 is not connected to USB, then LED blinks upon notifications well.
Does everyone have the same LED behavior?

Yep, after i've got idiotic answer on Zentalk from supposed to be ASUS official, i've decided to ask on this forum.
As a software developer i'm sure this is bug in Android framework due to ASUS customization.
I'm using Xposed module GravityBox where i can switch off the charging LED notification. If i switch it off, then notification LED works fine even when connected to USB, but of course if there is no notification, it doesn't display charge status.
Not sure how it would be hard to fix this issue through xposed, but according to ASUS answer on Zentalk, they are not going to fix this problem.
Users who think it's important, please write that you have this issue as well here: http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7660
May be then they will fix it.
Another weird behavior for notifications. SMS messenger uses default notification sound. It means, if i set specific sound for SMS, then many other notifications (for example OTA Software Update) will also use this sound.

When my screen is off, the notification light constantly cycles through all the available colors, just like when you run the test and have to turn the screen off.. only permanent.

Oh that's good to know, thx for sharing. I haven't tried any other app yet, I just disabled LightFlow for now since the constant cycling has to chew up extra battery when the screen is off. I'm also still on 3.1.3, going to upgrade to 3.1.2 and see if that helps.
