So, I just found out the G2 has a 2nd LED on the back power button. Some reason, mine isnt lighting up. Could be because I am on CM11 and that option is not available when editing contacts. Anyway, is there a way to get that back?
I know light flow in the play store has the option on controlling secondary leds on the device. I have not tested it though. Worth a shot though.

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

Wow that really sucks lol

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
I noticed today that the 4 capacitive buttons at the bottom of the phone were not all lit up as they're supposed to be. There seems to be light coming from the search button and starts to carry over into the back button but the home and menu buttons are an off white color and dont seem to be getting lit up. Any suggestions?
I seem to have the same problem. I'm on OTA 2.3.4. It could be a model that I did, but I can't remember doing anything that might have done it.

Im on kenns beta 4 of 2.3.4 and I have the problem I don't know

There are reasons why this build is called "beta". I'm on official 4.1.83 and have no such issue, anyone does?
Mine seem to be working fine. I know that they work with the light sensor. Try covering it up for a few seconds (to the right of the earpiece) to see if they work.

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...
Hey, I was wondering if there is anyway to be able to change the LED light color to variable...I know there is a way to change it to a solid color and have that blink but is there any way, say after receiving a text message, instead of it just blinking blue but to cycle from blue to red to yellow to green etc.?
Light Manager from play store has alternating mode. I believe that will flash all active notifications in succession.

I have been using light manager...however, I can not figure out how to get it to alternate...I have the alternate mode selected but when I get a notification it is just the one solid color....am I missing something?
Light flow does what you are asking. There's both a free and pro version however I use the pro and I love it

Stupid question did you restart light manager or your phone after you changing modes? I have issues with it not switching every once in a while restarting my phone seems to help.
