[Q] LED Notification Location

Is there anything I can do about the LED notification location on the Arc?
(I can never tell if I get messages or anything)

Yes. Look at the phone in sideways .
Come on... It's by design, what do you really want to do?

There's a way for notifications with the back light buttons.
I've never tried it, but some users reported that it works.
Search here, don't remember the thread.

Use no led to notify but check it works with kernel
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

just use an app to make led stay on whole time until notification removed.

I use "light flow" to make the led by the hardware bottoms light up on a SMS or a missed call.

If you open your phone case and make little modification then yes you can change led location

Mine is working but for some reason I can't use the default "messages" notification. I have to use the specific one for handcent. It was also causing some issues with my gallery and stock browser.

I didn't realize people are still using this after SIII since we DO have an LED notification light and apps like Light Flow and Light Manager to control them now.... any reason I'm not understanding? Feeling nostalgic or are more of a visual learner preferring to see the icon instead of a flashing light?

For me I like the larger, brighter, moving icon that catches my attention faster than a single LED. To each their own though.

Of course, just wondering! Thanks for your insight :good:

Can you look at the led light and tell whether an incoming message is Gmail or a text? NoLed has icon notification that lets you know what is coming vs just a blinking light.

I can tell the difference. I use Handcent SMS and it allows for custom LED notifcations, also a few roms had custom led color features.

If you had searched for Light Flow or Light Manager, you'd know that those apps are designed specifically to change the notification lights to tell you what app is has a notification.... So.... Yeah, there's that.... Hmmm

Anyone got the rear LED working with Lightflow?

Anyone figured out how to get the rear power button LED working with lightflow or similar? Lightflow controls the front LED nicely, and I've played with controlling the other LED's with it, but none of them work, and I'm not sure which is supposed to be the rear LED. It would be really cool to get it to flash for texts and such.

Are you referring to this or something more detailed?

I have that checked, but it doesn't do anything, at least for me. Front LED works great, no luck on the rear one. Does yours work? I'm on CM11

That's for "button back light" meaning the light behind the front buttons not "back button light". Big difference there.
Sent from my LG-G2 using Tapatalk

Thanks for clarifying. I actually wondered about that. But I couldn't figure out what difference it would make my checking it. I never have my phone facing down to really care what the light on the back button is doing anyway. Lol

Crap, I knew there was a reason I didn't originally have that checked. I'm dumb, lol.
Anyway, as far as the "non controled" LED's listed at the bottom, anyone have any luck getting them to work
I like having my phone upsidedown sometimes.

I had that working on my HTC DNA..yes it has also a back LED! But now on the G2 it seems that lightflow has no control on it
If anyone has a solution please share!

Lightflow should support it after the most recent update. Enable root mode and it should work

I'm on CM 11 and it seems like the light turns on when i get a call and SOMETIMEs when I get a text but thats it.
i would like the rear light button on the back to act exactly as if i was in stock.

Well I tried it out and bought the pro version of light flow and to say I'm dissapointed. The control of the back light does work but it doesn't pulse or pulse slowly on and off. the power button light just stays lit.

You have to go to settings go all the way down the page and it should be listed in additional LEDs as button blacklight. I enabled 1 and 2 because I think I enabled just one and half of the button lit up when I enabled both the button was fully lit

Notification LED on Moto X Force?

I know this is not the correct forum, but there's no one for X Force...
Does this phone has an rgb notification LED and could it be controlled with root?
Thanks!

It can be controlled with root, but cannot be used for notifications. If we get a custom kernel, then maybe... for now its just used to indicate when the battery is charging but not charged enough to turn the phone on.

Turn off your phone and plug in the charger. You will see the green light to the left of the ear piece

you need to have the battery at 0%.
If you are rooted there are some commands you can run to light it up. google moto x notification led and you should find it

Its not a notification light. It's charging indicator light. Your battery level must be near 0% if you wanna see it. Or you can use an app from post above yours if you wanna enable it as charging Iight whenever you charge your phone.

Try do discharge your battery to 0%, let it shutdown by itself and then plug the charger. See if that works.

FlashAlert 2 does use front flash. You can choose which flash to use in settings. But its only for incoming calls and sms. And you're right ,it's way too strong.

Unfortunately this "hidden" LED light is in fact only used by the stock OS to show you that the battery needs to be charged when the phone doesn't have enough power to light the screen.
If you ask me a pretty dumb way of using this beautiful LED light... I hope someone writes a custom rom for the dt2 and moto x force that allowed this once we are able to achieve root and bl unlock.. Good luck guys

Hi, any news on this?
