I have installed Cyanogen 5.0.6 ROM on my N1 and everything is working properly. However, I miss the stock Notification light(top right next to the ear piece) alerts. I don't want my trackball to blink for my emails. I get 500-600 emails every day & LED is too bight for me and blinks all day/night. Is there anyway I can disable LED notification & use only stock for emails? I tried to go back to stock 2.1 FW with clean wipe, unfortunately I can't get the stock notification light to work. LED still blinks instead of the notification light. It glows only while charging - Orange while charging & green once the charge is complete.
Any ideas on how to get that back?
Appreciate your help!
The top right light is only there to show charging of the phone.
It'll be orange when the phone is charging and green when it is fully charged (but still plugged in).
It's not meant to be for email/missed call/sms alerts, that's what the LED is for.
that's what i thought! when i read the OP i was thinking blackberry..
Thanks for the quick response!
I remember that light was blinking for emails before the mod. I am using Nitrodesk touchdown app for my corporate emails. May be this app used the notification light not the gmail app?
I am running an android build (froyo v2) on my stock hd2 rom. I have had a few issues but they have all since passed. The only thing I miss is the notification lights. For example if I had an unread sms it would keep blinking. This doesnt seem to work on the android build. Another problem I have is that when I charge, the led light doesn't stay on, it only blinks if i unlock the screen and touch the notification bar, but it never stays on....
I did a search on google and on the forums and couldn't find anything.
Is there something I am doing wrong?

this is not an issue that only u have...this is a known problem and still devs working on this..!read every time u download a build.. that led lights still not work properly!works only for someone when battery is charging..but when u have a text message or a missed call its not blinkin..thats normal..!i hope they will fix it soon..!
Hi. Is this issue resolved yet? I am using daniest v4.2. I went to display to enable the led notification option for miss call and sms but it is still not lighting up. However it lights up in red when on low battery.
some release use some libs that break led notification.. i use a release like that and i've solved my problem with "led me know".. it's an app that activate led notification. sometimes don't work fine but is well.
sorry for my english! ^^

Thanks! I will reply with a feedback after trying it out. Thanks friend!
you're welcome man!
After trying out led me know for a day, it seems very stable. No issues at all. Blinking of led stops once missed calls and unread messages are dismissed. By the way i had the compatibility mode enabled.
Mine is not working. Do I have to enable it?
FIXED THANK YOU
You're welcome!
What was the fix?

Try Light Flow app to see if LED is working or not
Well I've got LED pulse enabled in display settings but it's not working, even with Light Flow test mode.
Is there a trick I'm missing or is it buggered?

Is your LED ON, pulsing or OFF while the phone is charging?
Mine is OFF
Also the LED is pulsing when I get an email, but off if I get a notification from the agenda.
Is this normal behaviour?
Care to share the solution buddy ?
Others may have the issue as well .
It didn't seem to be working for me either, but now it is.
I installed Light Flow, just to run the test, and that seems to have fixed it. Running the test didn't help particularly (you need to turn the screen off during the test, and the LED only flashed once), but once enabled I get a subtle green LED with an unread email in my Gmail inbox.
I didn't change any of the settings in Light Flow or on my phone apart enabling Light Flow in Accessibility as the app requests when it starts up.
Hope that helps someone.

Just done the same, much better now.
Strange that there is not any control of this without installing the app
I read online how to enable it, not sure how true it is.
Settings > Display > Pulse (something like that, there should be a check box)
Apparently it's disabled on stock, you have to enable it like that first.
Don't know if it works, worth a shot right?
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)

Stock work only with sms. Light flow is very good !
so by 4.2 default, led notifications only work with sms messages? really? seems a bit daft. i'm sure on the gnex i had for a while using stock i got led flashes for missed calls tweets etc
I have just received the Nexus4 and was intrigued about this led light. I have seen in screen options a ticker which is called Notification ligth, which is marked. I tried to call myself from home but the LED did not light, so I have tried sending me an email and it has started to blink in white.
Maybe I had no patience after calling me or it just work for some notifications. I shall investigate it further.
Hope this can help you
I've been using Light Manager so far. I can only specifiy the Color for SMS. If i turn Chose gmail to Flash red and missed calls orange i dont get any notification for a missed call and only a White one for gmail. Same for any other Color.
Hi,
It works for me (stock) :
SMS (Handcent)
Mail : Gmail
Whatsapp and probably more... I would say try to disable/enable led notification.
Mine only flashes green for new gmail and that seems to be it. Light flow test did nothing, even with screen off.

Does any else have a issue with their LED Notification Light not working?
No light when charging, or SMS, or Email, Missed Call, Low Battery... never lights up. Almost thought they forgot to install the LED until I used LightFlow to test it. And even then it only works when the screen is off, once the power button is pressed to turn the screen on then LED goes off, even though I set LightFlow to clear notification Manually. (LightFlow was just used to test if the LED was installed/functional.)
Uninstalled LightFlow, send myself a couple test emails and text(from another phone) and There was no LED notification light, just the notification sound.
Really hoping this is a software issues so I don't have to request a replacement device from Google...
Edit/Update: I'm pretty sure this is a software related issue and not hardware, as the LED is there and functions (with the help of 3rd party app, which we should not have to use) - So I'm trying to get a poll here of how many people have issues with the LED Notification light not working. Something to report to Google/Bug Report.

I believe the reason is that the software has not been updated to be completely compatible with 4.2+

What software are you referring too? LightFlow?
This topic has nothing to do with LightFlow...

Mine doesn't work either. I tried LightFlow and while it did light up the LED for some things, but not all that I selected, it was too faint to see, have to be in total darkness to see it.
The led isn't supposed to flash when the screen is on. Its been this way with every nexus.

But does your LED work when the screen is off? Mine and the OP's don't unless you use a third party app.

Is the Notification Light activated under display settings?
Mine worked, but not really well, I only saw it once when sending myself a test mail. Now I'm using Light Flow, which works nearly perfect (sometimes it doesn't seem to work until I enable the screen for a second and then disable it again)

Pulse notification light is checked
Im having the same problem. My led doesnt seem to come on no matter what. I know it worked out of the box because I have seen it light up with light flow but now im wondering if it quit completely and if I should do an RMA.
Mine has been working fine. It's white for TXT's, green for a lot of other things like FB and whatsapp
Yes the "Pulse notification light" option is checked.
I woke today with 6 New emails, 4 text messages, and 1 missed call... No LED Notification light was on, blinking or doing anything.
There not being a notification light is bugging the heck out me, 'cause I depend on them when my phone is on silent at work so I'm able to know there is a message waiting without having to stop what Im doing to turn the screen on every 5 min.

Try 'Blink'
Try the app 'Blink' very simple and its works for my N4
are you waiting 10 seconds before turning the phone on? Thats how long it takes before it blinks again. Whoever programmed the LED truly hates LED notifications because he made it blink so slowly and dimly that nobody could possibly notice it.

Yup, sat there watching the phone for a good 2-3 min after hearing the Notification sound for new email / text. (screen off)
Not sure if its suppose to or not, but I don't even get a LED Notification light when the phone is charging or charged (have to turn phone on to check if the phone is done charging.) Past devices I've had used the LED to notify of charging/charged.
It's normal that it doesn't glow when charging. I really can recommend Light Flow, then you can customise the notification as you wish (the free version is good, I bought the full version because I need steam support, but for normal use there is no need to buy it)

Ok, so my notification light wouldnt work no matter what. I uninstalled sms popup and now light flow works like it should. I guess the sms popup was somehow blocking light flow from allowing it to activate.
No notification light shows while charging, hence why when you charge the phone when it's off, it shows an animation on the screen. It should for calls, texts, emails, etc. though. Mine works. It even shows blue for facebook and white for texts/emails. Not sure why it wouldn't work. Have you gotten the 4.2.1 update?
Additionally, light flow states in its description that it doesn't work on most lg phones.
I have the exact same phone as my partner. Both the same OS, software version - everything. The only difference is that I can't get notification lights to work on her phone for things like SMS, WhatsApp etc.
If I choose a light colour in WhatsApp on my phone it works - flashes, works fine. Do the same on hers and she gets no light whatsoever. I have set our phones up to have exactly the same settings, neither of us has any special apps installed (like Light flow) and pretty much all our system settings are exactly the same. Her LED toggle is switched on the same as mine and she is using the same SMS app. Neither of us has any rogue-looking apps installed. We both have the same SMS client and all apps are up-to-date.
Does anyone have a clue what could be going on here? Her light definitely isn't faulty as it works when someone calls - flashes green, lights red when charging and blue when she double-taps the screen to unlock.
I'm all out of ideas now. She is not wanting to do a full restore.
