My Nexus One had a LED in addition to the notification LED. Does this phone only have the notification LED? Does that or anything else light up for anyone when they are charging? It sure doesn't for me .
Edit: Since it may not be crystal clear I am referring to the absence of any LED indicating charging status. Most phones have this; red/amber while charging and green when fully charged. Would be nice to know when the phone is fully charged without having to turn the screen on.
download lightflow from playstore, im using it for custom colours and flash rates for all notifications now, should we have to? no, but seeing as they called it in its your best option.
The gnex by default didn't have a charging led it was only ever used for notifications so presumably the nexus 4 has went the same route. But as mentioned there are apps to allow the led to be used for this purpose

Can anyone explain to me HTC's logic in this:
"The indicators are listed in order of priority. For example, if your device is connected to a power adapter and is charging the battery, the LED will be solid amber and will not switch to a flashing green light even if there is a pending notification."
I keep my phone on the charger a lot of the time and I have missed several voice mails and text messages as a result of this behavior. Is there a way to change this (I am stock/unrooted) or anything in the marketplace that will fix it?

HTC does this, and it drives me crazy. It was the same way on my TP2 - if charging, it'll be orange. If fully charged, it will be green. It will stay that way, even in the presence of a notification.
I'd love to see green flashing over the orange when charging. Maybe the LED flashing OFF with a notification while fully charged. Probably not going to happen though, it never did for the TP2.
You'll need to root to fix something like this, if we even have access to it.
There's an app called always flash that does exactly that you just need root

So, I plug my phone on the desktop charger and a few hours later the brightest blue LED I have ever seen shines in my face and actually wakes me up. Is there a mod or patch or whatever to disable the full charge led? Maybe make it dim?
I use blue led for sms and I don't think its bright at all. But there is no way to disable full charge led

Thanks for the quick response. However, I am hoping that someone might be able write a quick mod to fix the issue. Also, it is not too bright unless it is 1AM and it is the only light in the room.
Here is the patch I installed to deal with this issue.

That's what we want to do put ****ing tape. On our phone. Thanks.
I too get woke up by the annoying blue LED.
Slightly less wise-ass comment.........put the phone face down.
Simple question: should the LED be on when charging the device? I've never seen it on...

The LED (I believe) should keep working as normal, whether on charge or not (as long as the tab is on). I don't believe the LED should stay solid on charge (unless you get 3rd-party software to do so anyway)

THOUGHT about it today, I have never seen my LED on. Did a search and it is a known bug, not known if it is the N10 or Android. But is you install "LED color Tester" from the play store, you can test all the colors and confirm it turns on... so it looks like it may be a software bug. Some people can make it turn on temporarily by rebooting their system while it is charging. I personally never saw my LED before I tried the color tester today. nice pretty colrs <grin> too bad it doesn't work.
Here is a link to one of the Google error reports on it: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40294
I just looked at my tablet while it was sleeping, on charge, and the LED is flashing (got an email). I am on a custom ROM and Kernel though.
Mine never comes on while charging.

I have noticed that while my phone is charging, (shows orange LED), it will not show any other notification lights.. It is like the charging LED is priority... is there a way to change that?
I would prefer to know there is a notification while its charging without having to wake the screen each time.
Thank you!
unrooted options at the moment but I do plan to root someday..

With root you can have it Blink while charging, if you get notification.
Without root, possibly an app that could do it?

I've noticed that with the latest update (end of march) that wireless powershare now has it's own notification light on the heart rate sensor (blue = powershare ready/on, red = charging a device, green = done charging other device). Does anyone know if somebody is developing an app for broader use of this such as SMS notifications, etc? I'm currently using Holey Light and it's fine. But I'd prefer an actual LED. I'd try to do it myself but I don't know the first thing about Android programming.
EDIT:
Oops! Thought I was in the Q/A section. Feel free to move...
EDIT 2:
No green light. Instead the lights go off, powershare is stopped, and a regular notification comes up saying device charged.
Yeah I did notice that when I was charging my friend's phone her battery finally died on her s6 and I was trying to do a wireless charge to make sure it wasn't just the charging port
