Coming from HTC Evo 3D, i've grown to love the LED notification showing red whenever the phone is being charge, and so far the only disappointment with my Nexus device is, that there's no idication from the LED wether the phone is being charged or if it's fully charged. I am simply wondering if it's possible to add that feature with a little application? If someone has done it before, could they please assist me.

I haven't used light flow on the n4 yet, have used on s3 its amazing the way it combines colours to give different colours!
+3 flow light
Light Flow is great... however is there any way to enable the LED while the phone is OFF and charging? Is that a purely hardware thing or does the kernel or bootloader come into play

Yeah, brick your phone and the LED will blink red when off.

Is anyone running an app on their slide for changing the led colors when messages,calls, etc comes in( for non-rooted phones) or do you need root for this?
LED Notifications
I have tried many; all have been a epic failure showing only a green light no matter the color selected... And I'm not running root, not yet anyway...
Wonder if it has to be something like the trackball for nexus (trackball alert free) ill test that tomorrow and post back if it works

After looking at the LED real close while it was charging I noticed the orange is at the top of the spot and the green is at the bottom. If you look real close while it is lit up you'll notice there 2 LEDs on the chip, so it looks like orange and green are all we'll be able to get
Is the LED below the screen supposed to function as a notification light? I ask because I haven't seen it light up even once for anything. Not when charging, nor when there are new emails, messages, etc. Heck, does it work at all?

I see the notification light blink white when I have a new email from Gmail. Do you have Settings->Display->Pulse notification light enabled?
I guess you should make sure you have email notifications (do you hear sounds?) on as well.
I to have yet to see this notification light. I do have Pulse notifications enabled and yet nothing happens when charging even after the device is turned off and charging. I'm unlocked, rooted, stock, with CWM recovery.
Edit: I also do hear the notifications when receiving emails just not the light notification.

Yes, my pulse notification setting is on. I get the audible tone that I have email but no light ever.

You guys are not alone. There is another thread on this issue. Seems that the LED, for some of us, works sometimes but often does not work at all. There is an app called LED tester (free) that you can use to see what the situation is with your LED. Note that installing Light Flow is not a solution - when the LEDs are not working they will not be working under Light Flow control. So far I haven't been able to spot what triggers the LEDs to start or to stop working. Restarts seems to have no effect. With mine, when they work they work for a day or two then abruptly stop and stay stopped for a day or so.
A number of people seem to be affected by this but there is no indication yet whether this is a software bug (hopefully) or a dodgy hardware batch.
Mines been working since day one... Installed light flow and kept on moving

I've never seen the LED on mine, LED tester does nada! I'm hoping it's software but ultimately not too concerned, not a feature I care too much about.

Where is the light supposed to show up?
My notification light works, alas on both the N10 and the GN it *never* blinks on the first notification it should report after a reboot. From the 2nd time onwards it works as intended.
Didn't even realize this had an led...so guess mines never lit up either

The notification light only blinks when the screen is off and a notification is received...

By default, the notification lights only show up when the screen is off... and the moment you power on and reach your lockscreen, they go off... in my custom ROM, I have an option to enabled the notifications lights when the screen is on as well...

No kidding, I had to go look in the little book to see where the led even was!
I disabled it due to constant pulsing...mine works TOO good.
Looks like mine doesn't work. Even after using light works app. This may push me to exchange this now along with light bleed problem that is pretty visible.

Is there any way to get the LED light to blink more often? Like on galaxy s3 it blinks every 3 seconds..
(I guess Light flow could, any other option?)
EDIT: see post #6
Light flow in the Play Store
There has to be a way without an app. If that app can do it on stock odex roms, I'm sure it can be done. People are having slight issues with that app.. So I decided to back off from it

Completely stock, no. Custom ROM or an app that enables it, yes.

People having issues must be user error. It generally works perfectly for me. Every now and then the LED doesn't blink when it should for some reason, but even that is rare and no big deal. Light flow is infinitely superior to stock.

For anyone on CM10.1 go to setting/system/notification light and change Default to normal and normal.
It will then blink every like 2 secs.
Yeah, light flow is really the way to go. Which reminds me, I need to buy the pro version...
My Nexus 4 just arrived and while playing with it I noticed that the notification LED was nowhere near as bright (50%) as my Nexus 3 (Galaxy Nexus). It also flashes at a much slower rate than the GNex!
Is this normal?
Can anyone else confirm this please?
Yes its normal.

It's really hard to see the light in a bright room and the reduced frequency means that the notification could be missed easily.

Nothing you can do to make it brighter. You can install light flow form the play store to customize colors and frequency.

Adjust your brightness settings? flash a custom rom that gives you more control of your led light???

Just install light flow mate. As someone else said you can have a different color for each notification and you can set now fast it blinks.
You can even set the light to be solid so it doesn't even blink.
When you set colours they are a lot easier to see than the white ish one that's stock.

Light manager works well too. I like it better than light flow because it doesn't drain as much battery
These apps from the playstore drain too much battery. You can get almost the same control over your LED if you flash a ROM like CM or ParanoidAndroid, you will find the preferences for LED under display in those ROMs

Light Flow don't drain battery and bright settings are no ajustable.
Hello to all on Xda. I noticed that our Droids ( Turbo 2) has an LED on it's upper left hand corner, just between the front facing flash and the earpiece, where the sensor is at. I noticed that it is an LED notification when I drained my battery fully down to 0% , I plugged in my included turbo charger and behold a green light came on for a second. So is there any way to activate our LED as a notification tool like with older devices. Is there maybe an app that can do that, app not needing root?
No there is no way to have led notifications.

I do. In fact I'm not really a fan of the moto notification. Miss the old one I do, that's why I was asking if we can enable it some how some where in the system without having root access. Maybe one day with the help and power of root we ( me ) might have an LED notification as well. Give the people the right to choice what they want, give us more options.
I'm not saying LED is bad or should not be available. Just saying at first I was like you and missed it but once I got used to Moto notifications I liked it.
