Can the Notification LED Priority be changed?

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

[Q] disable full charge led

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.

disable charging LED in cyanogenmod 7?

Hi there, I recently purchased the "powerskin" for my mytouch 4g. But what is super annoying is that the green charging light stays on ALL day while the powerskin is attached.
Unlike most other power skins for other phones apparently this one does not have the "on/off" button feature... which i really would like. Seems bad/silly to leave the phone charging 24 hours a day?
Anyways. I was curious if there was a way to disable LED while charging but still show my notifications? I'm rooted and running cyanogenmod nightly #93. I tried messing with "LED hack" from the market, but that just disabled the LED all together. I would still like to retain the blinking email/text/ect... abilities.
WTF powerskin?! put a damn ON/OFF button on this thing!
any help is appreciated.

The device doesn't charge if the battery is full. your device will feed off of the powerskin until it is dead, then switch to battery power.
Not that I know of.
... Why not just unplug it?

Thanks for your response Gazian, I messed with a few of your roms! good stuff!
I spose I could just unplug it. I just don't want to keep fiddling with the little micro USB connector. doesnt seem all that durable. I was just hoping there was some little mod or hack that would shut off the charging light. For some reason it bugs me a lot! I keep my phone in silent mode at work and glance at it to see if i have a notification.
Guess i'll have to deal. Thanks for your help.

[Q] Charging LED?

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

Update to 8.1.0 and yellow charging LED does not seem to work

So I updated to Android version 8.1.0 last night and the first thing I noticed is the yellow charging LED does not work.
I looked for settings, but I do not think this is an option to turn on and off.
Anyone else seeing this or other issues with 8.1.0?
Did I make a mistake jumping to 8.1.0 too soon?

Mine works fine as intended.

Charging LED is still working after update. You can enable it Disable it in notification settings.

Thanks for the reply, the blue message LED works fine, my yellow charging LED did not work.
I may power cycle the phone again to see if this sorts the issue and maybe if the battery is close to fully charged for some reason the yellow LED does not come on?
Will see if others have similar issues.

As @seabro01 said above, it's now a setting which is OFF by default.
Go to Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> Notifications -> Toggle Battery charging light.

That's it, thanks, I thought I knew where to find the setting, but must have missed it.
