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 notification light is alternating between green and orange and I have no clue why..
My battery is low but it should just blink orange for that.
I've done some research and they sat the battery is overheating, the battery is not hot at all so I'm doubting that is the issue.
I'm running ICS currently.
any ideas of what this is.
Also, I can check to see if it's a notification as the LCD is busted until I get it fixed, it's just driving me nuts.
Most probably you have a notification so the LED alternates between red for low battery and green for the notification. It's what it does on mine and I'm on ICS also (I2IEAILiiTY's hybrid)

I bought a replacement battery (not original) and everytime I try charging it the
LED start flashing form green to orange and putting back the old original battery
charges just fine. How do I reset or make it charge it?
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

On my previous Galaxy S3, the LED was red when charging and turned green when fully charged. On my new Galaxy S4, the LED is red when charging, but it stays red after it is fully charged.
Did Samsung change something? Is it possibly related to the firmware? I have MDM. Or is there a new setting somewhere? I noticed that the description in the text for the charging LED is different from the text on my S3, it explicitly does state the color "red" while charging, which it did not on the S3.
I am a little worried that it may be a problem with my device. However, I checked that the color green is working with *#0*# in the dialer. Also, the phone seems to be acknowledge being fully charging correctly in battery stats (battery monitor widget). Can anyone help me and clarify what the expected behavior is or if I have a problem and I should take some action?

When your phone says100% leave for a further 20-30mins then will go green and say unplugg fully charged. That's what mine does any how mate.

Hi,
I am currently on ME2
But it has been the same with all firmwares I have had.
As cameracartwright says,leave it charge until it says 100%
That is about 2-2 and a half hours.

Thank you for the reply. I will try that. For my S3 the LED immediately turns green after it reaches 100%. I think I did have it on 100% for 10 minutes. Battery monitor widget says "fully charged" and displays the time since reaching 100%.
But you have this behavior that the LED of the S4 only turns green after being charged for a longer while?
Success! I left it to charge for a longer time and I just checked and it said "24 minutes" on battery and the LED was indeed green. Thank you everyone. So glad there is no hardware problem with the LED or battery or some software issue that would require me to wipe my device. Thank god for XDA.
You have to wait until the message of Battery Fully Charged appears.

Fortunately, not needed! Was a rom problem, many roms! After full wipe with repartition using odin, pit, baseband, ecc ...using the rom of Alexyuh, the led now work correctly and no random reboot/shutdown for now!

The day I got my G5 plus, I plopped down on my couch, popped in my SIM and then proceeded to install LineageOS 15.
I succeeded. Go me, however I've never seen a light Indicating that the battery is charging. I can just as well tap my screen to see... But there aren't even any settings in the OS for the notification or battery lights. Since I never saw the phone on the stock rom, I can't say whether it did or didn't have a light before I installed Lineage.
Am I missing some firmware here or is this just an elephant in the room you never talk about?
This phone has no notification light LEDs
There is a notification/charging LED, but on stock it only turns on when you charge the phone when it's off. Custom ROMs do have support for the LED, like Ressurrection Remix, Pixel Experience, etc. No idea why it's not turning on in your case.
