it could simply mean the the led still flashes when its charging. it does not flash for me because i am charging.
edit: i guess you could get a battery widget or something. if it has a notification... it will light up the led. might have to use that led app or have a rom with led functionality built in like aokp does and then assign a color to the battery deal.
I have no notification light when charging either.. maybe that's normal or bug?
use lightflow.

Since most of them are saying while charging there is no notification light .. i guess thats normal .
I have no notification LED on neither when charging. I think this is normal.

Correct...no light when charging. If you want that, get Lightflow from the market. Gives you full control of the light including different colors for different notifications which is absolutely a necessity as far as I'm concerned.
Same here, no light when charging/charged. Would have preferred it slowly flashing when charging, and being constant when charged, so you know to disconnect it when fully charged. Will check out the app mentioned above, but prefer these things from stock as having these various apps running in the background would contribute to battery drain I guess?

I know that by default, this phone does have a charging light. Mine worked right out of the box. But after a few days, it stopped working. I also have a friend who had the same issue. His solution was to also use Light Flow... It crushed his battery life. I'd rather avoid using a third party app and figure out why the stock setting is no longer working.
I think that is what many of you are attempting to do, correct?

I use lightflow and monitor my battery daily. It will not crush your battery life in my experience. Check out the thread in the apps section. The app creator posts there and will help with the app.

I've been searching around looking for info on this and got nothing. I know the LED is on when the phone is off and charging but why would Motorola not have that feature when the phone is on and charging? Every single phone I have ever owned has had a charging LED. So why not the X? It would be cool if there was an app that could control the colors for the charge LED too.

i've noticed the new version of tranquility rom has a green led when charging. i dunno about changing the color though.
Does the green LED stay on when the phone is ON and charging or just OFF and charging? Cuz the X has a green LED when the phone is charging and OFF.
yeah, the phone is on and charging and the green led is on. i never turn my phone off anyway
Yep, Green LED def works on Tranq 3.
If you use Tasker, you can set up the LED to come on while charging on ANY rom.
Tasker is a wonderful app

I guess you have to learn how to set it up. It literally does anything and everything possible on an Android phone.
It turns my Wifi on automatically when I arrive home, turns it off when I leave, Sets sync to every 30 mins, saving battery, texts my GF every morning at random intervals telling her to have a great day (Or some variation of that, thats a lifesaver ), turns my GPS on/off for apps that need it, turns brightness to full and auto rotation on when using the gallery, silent boot, silent shut down, reminders, periodic data sync, displays a menu of apps upon plugging in the headphones, and thats just scratching the surface...
I should look into being a Tasker salesman... haha
Some people dont like it because its "hard" to set up, but there are profile tutorials all over the place making it very easy.
I'd say Tasker alone gives me an extra 3 hours of battery life just by itself.
Yeah, I'm not impressed either

I'm truly in love with tasker... I could shed a tear right now with all the ideas that have been flowing through my head because they can finally be done through one app!!
I like that texting the gf thing.. I'm going to make that now!
Oh and P.S: "I'm not too impressed"
I was using LED me know...to customize LED notification on HD2 and since its more reliable also. However as I found out today...LED me know makes the standby battery consumption to around 120mAh constantly when the led is flashed. And it wasn't an odd spike...i checked currentwidget log...it has been like that for more than 2 hours when LED was flashed and after resetting the service..it again came back to usual 3-8mAh.
Is it same for you guys also?
It's finally driven me to the point that I'm just going to sell the Nexus for a profit and get a G2. I can't take picking up my phone every single time I want to check if I have a message. I've never had a smartphone without this feature, and it's just a nightmare.

I do miss having an LED indicator too... but I wonder if they took it out due to battery life reasons. Is there an app that can help give better indications in case for missed calls or texts that can do a reminder without an LED indicator... maybe even use the LED light on the back of the camera is better than nothing
i would say just wait until someone makes it so it uses the LEDs under the softkeys as notification lights

Use NoLED, works great for me. I like it more than the trackball notifications on my N1 now, they look awesome on the screen.

I don't want to power-on the screen for a notification that may be left un-noticed for an hour.
I didn't really like the idea of NoLED either but I just decided to try it for the hell of it. I use the blink mode and set the time out to 1 hour so if it's idle for an hour the notifications will stop. I've checked the battery drain and it seems to be quite small with blink mode at least (since I'm only having it display the notifications for 1 second every 30 seconds). So really, 2 seconds of screen time every minute, which is about 120 seconds every hour, or about 2 minutes of screen time where it's mostly black and a few lit pixels, and then after that 1 hour it stops.

I tried noled but must confess I never spent any time setting it up so the battery drain I noticed may have been avoidable.
Just to pick up on the above... I'd want the notifications instantly obvious so that a quick glance at my phone would notify me of any messages. Using the above method I'd only see a notification for some of the time and not all.
Lighting up the bottom buttons would be a much better option for me but in the meantime I might try noled again.

Other than the fact that they're not colored, seems a bit better IMO, more noticeable. Also, battery drain really is minimal with NoLed...

The three pixels on the screen drawing power aren't going to impact your battery life heavily.

to be honest id be more paranoid about burn in , cuz really if i get a text when im sleeping and it goes unnoticed for 8 hours then what
With NoLED you can set notification timeouts, I have mine set to 30 minutes because I always have my phone near me and 30 minutes is plenty. I also have it set to use the Proximity sensor so that if the phone is in my pocket it's not displaying any notification, only when you remove the phone from your pocket and the proximity sensor detects that it's clear will it display the notification instantly. You can also set a "sleep" time for notifications, so I have mine turn off at 2am and turn back on at 6am.
If there is any increased battery drain I haven't noticed it, but then again I don't leave notifications on flashing for hours either.

The notifications move around the screen to prevent any pixel burn-in. You can set them to timeout after a certain amount of time also.
Have you guys even bothered trying out NoLED? Haha
Good to know but on top of that don't the notifications move around the screen?
Edit: ikon beat me to it.

NO!, i fear change!
Have the phone make a sound/vibrate. No need to pick it up.
or download noLED. Problem solved.
I've made a couple posts in the Poor Battery Life on NS? thread( such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10143276&postcount=159) detailing my experience with the Nexus S's battery.
I use noLED as my notification system with large icons rather than the default little dots and no time out method. The only other special thing I've done to it is turn on the proximity sensor so noLED doesn't run while it's in my pocket. My boss likes to do a lot of paperwork in the super late evening/early morning and sends me emails accordingly(this is why I don't leave the sound/vibrate on, lol). noLED's impact on battery life is extremely negligible. I would put it on par with the power with the power consumption of an actual LED notification light due to the way SAMOLED and blacks work.
And, if you're worried about burn in, like someone said, the icons shift around the screen in order to avoid that.

that proximity sensor idea while its in your pocket, genius
Just tried noled again and am noticing a few force close errors.
What settings are best for this app and when a notification is received, what are you using to wake tje phone again as the power button causes issues as explained in the splash screen after install?
I'm also seeing all the bottom buttons light up as well as the notification on the screen, is this normal and if so is this not consuming battery unnecesarily?
Seems a tad buggy to me this app on the Nexus S. Would appreciate exact settings / configuration from anyone that has it running satisfactorily.
hey, I am currently on stock ROM, custom twrp recovery, Franco kernel nightly 200 and gravitybox for my customizations. in setting I have pulse notification light on and in gravitybox settings under power tweaks DISABLE charging LED is unchecked so I have no idea why there is no charge light.
Anyone have any ideas?

I use "Light Flow". It can also customize the color of the LED based on the apps.

The app doesn't work for me. I mean it launches and everything but the light still won't turn on. "Charging LED"works for me though.
Still annoying the the option in gravitybox won't work.

Hi Friends,
My device is GT-I9500 stock (non rooted) and I updated to stock Android 5.0.1 . Is there a way I can set some alarm sound when the charging of battery gets full?
I think I can use other Apps, may be like DU Battery or some. But looking for some out-of-box feature that I am missing?
Thanks.
I don't know about touchwiz lollipop but google's lollipop doesn't have anything like this.
Touchwiz kitkat had a notification which told you it was full. And the LED turned green at 100%.
Guess the only way is if you use apps. I use Battery Doctor to control my charging.

Hi GDReaper, Thank you. Yes 4.x was using LED and even the touchwiz lollipop used the green led for the purpose which goes unseen or unattended. So I was looking for a Sound/Alarm solution for this.
I heard about Battery Doctor but looks like so much advertisement, also looked at the DU Battery (not installed yet).
Thank you.
I used both. Didn't like DU.
Maybe with Tasker you can set an alert for when the battery is 100%.
Or there may be some other apps.
Notifications on full charge
Hey Prabhat,
You can try this app out: Battery Zen by Dwarka on the Google Play Store. It is a lightweight app ( Just 1.2 MB ) and provides customizable notifications to you when the battery is fully charged.
Cheers
Dwarka
