Is there a way to turn off the led charging indicator but still have led enabled? i know in past samsung phones you could do that.
This has been asked in multiple variations in this Q&A section, so far there hasn't been any satisfiable answers as to stock apps on the phone that can do this. I believe the play store has some apps that might work, you might have to do a search cause I can't remember which apps.
When I use the knockon app from playstore the charging led doesn't work as a side effect.

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

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

Simple question: should the LED be on when charging the device? I've never seen it on...

The LED (I believe) should keep working as normal, whether on charge or not (as long as the tab is on). I don't believe the LED should stay solid on charge (unless you get 3rd-party software to do so anyway)

THOUGHT about it today, I have never seen my LED on. Did a search and it is a known bug, not known if it is the N10 or Android. But is you install "LED color Tester" from the play store, you can test all the colors and confirm it turns on... so it looks like it may be a software bug. Some people can make it turn on temporarily by rebooting their system while it is charging. I personally never saw my LED before I tried the color tester today. nice pretty colrs <grin> too bad it doesn't work.
Here is a link to one of the Google error reports on it: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40294
I just looked at my tablet while it was sleeping, on charge, and the LED is flashing (got an email). I am on a custom ROM and Kernel though.
Mine never comes on while charging.

Is there a way of disabling the LED while charing/charged?
I charge my phone overnight and it bothers me to have the LED lit all the night -.-'
Bump,., anyone?
Unfortunately it doesn't look like you can. Maybe try these apps. I haven't tested so not sure if they work.

A couple of apps within Xposed Installer.

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.
