I was wondering which colours the Nexus 6 LED can show. I've always used LEDs and loved the different blinking modes available in Lightflow. However, the Nexus 6 doesn't support it (except doing it manually which keeps the CPU alive all the time). So I needed to use more colours to know which notification I'm getting.
I ended up doing this image in order to show you guys what the Nexus 6 LED is capable of. It's not every colour, but with 3 LEDs (red, green and blue) you have at least 7 combinations. I've tested all the presets in Lightflow. Maybe there are more colours, but whatever colour I've chosen it's one out of these 7 (using #000 or black doesn't activate the LED at all fyi).
There are:
- Red
- Orange/Green
- Green
- Orange/Light Blue
- Light Blue
- Blue
- Pink/Blue
Yeah, well the thing with the nexus 6 led setup, is that there really isn't much in the way of intensity control, and there really are just 4 distinct LEDs (red, green, blue, and green... yes, two greens.) on it, rather than having a multi-led with a proper fuzzy/dispersal cover over them to blend them together.

What settings are you using to get this?

You know how ...
When your charging the Shadow, it show's an orange light.
When bluetooth is enabled, it's a blue light.
And when it's not charging, it's a green light.
Is there a registry hack or anything to change the light to other colors such as red, pink, etc?
The leds are only that color and can not create any other color combination other than what it is [orange (charging), red (Batt very low), blue (bluetooth), or green (radio signal)]. There are two color leds available which basicaly are two leds built into one, for example on the Shadow, one led having orange and red and the other having green and blue. Getting a bit technical, to make custom colors it would take a RGB (Red, Blue, Green) led that would have to have individual control of the three colors to create any color you can think of like on an lcd monitor. Hope this answers your question.
Hey all,
Sorry if a similar problem has been posted before, but my blue and red notification LED's aren't working.
The other day, i sent my nexus 4 away to get fixed (USB/charging port was broken), and when it was returned i noticed that all notifications flashed green.
I've tried:
- turning the "pulse notification light" on and off.
- Testing the LED via light manager (only green works).
So I've come to the conclusion that the red and blue parts of the LED are broken/faulty.
Is there another fix i could try ??
Perhaps the LED wasn't reconnected properly when being fixed, is it easily accessible ?
Thanks
-Craig

The obvious answer is the one you're not trying to hear, and that is to send it back.

GEEK LESSON.:thumbup::thumbup:
Multi coloured LED,s are nearly always made up of 3 colours any other colour emitted from them is a mix of those 3 colours this is controlled by different metals / mineral e.t.c inside the LED and a chip that passes a different current to the led e.g say you wanted green the current would pass through the gallium phosphate (band) part of the led thus creating green. ( Said in easy to understand terms)
What I am trying to tell you is its next to impossible for this to break .(LED,s are near on bomb proof).
Either a cheaper LED has been replaced (unlikely as they cost very little) Or a software fault. The other colours just don't break .
As Berrydroidcafe says if this is a genuine fix from a nexus approved service you have been ripped off and should seek another replacement or fix . That's if you can't live with just a green LED.
Below is a chart explaining the elements used inside the LED which makes up the different colour spectrum .

I"m using Pure Nexus and it allows me to set custom LED notification colors. I'm swiping all over the place and can not get the LED notification to turn green, the closest it gets is blue or yellow, no green in between. Anyone have a working HEX code for green?

#33FF00 seems green enough to me?
I mean it's green on the screen but the LED can't display it. It's just yellow.
Edit I got it, it's 00ff00. Copied it from the default her code for a full battery from another setting.
I am still new to this phone.. but i'm trying to find out if the LED light allows for more colors than just Green and Amber ?
I had tried LED Light Manager and it didn't seem to make other colors..
Now that i'm rooted and running Viper ROM.. I see that they only have options for "apps to use amber instead of green"...
so does that mean that is the only color options?
Thanks!

Right.
It's not like the Samsung galaxy phones that use a red, green, and blue led and basically mix the colors to create any color of the rainbow, the HTC's have just an amber or green LED and you have the choice of one or the other or neither

yeah i think that is what i was used too... had the S4, S3 and also the Nexus 5... all had various colors for the LED.
my biggest gripe is i wish it was a larger and brighter LED.. but overall still a wonderful phone.
So I tested the notification LED, and no matter which colors I set in the apps, most were not showibg correctly.
So I started the internal test (dial *#36446337# to enter the internal test program, then go manual test and then led test.
There you can set the brightness of all 3 color leds manually.
With all 3 set to 100% I'd expect roughly white. Instead, this looks white-ish on my led:

Red and green gives yellow, but not here, it's alnost pure green. I get yellow with this setting:

So it seems the red LED is massively underpowered against blue and green, making all color settings in apps look wrong.
Does this look different on your 1+5?
Really? No one cares? The test takes 2 minutes!
I agree (but no, I don't particularly care) - the green LED seems much stronger, and the red may be a little weak.
RBG @100% only has a slight blueish tint for me. G+B looks like a reasonable cyan. I think what qualifies as "yellow" is subjective (c.f. "grue"), but I agree R+G is closer to green than yellow.

Keep in mind that the human brain is less sensitive to red.
Um, yeah, I know that, but that needs to be integrated in the led calibration. All three at 100% have to show white.
Anything else doesn't make sense at all. In the settings there are 8 colors to choose from, and those have to be the colors you actually see if you choose them.
