[Q] LED light on stock - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so... I've had my N6 for about month and a half and last week decided to root, weird thing was, I DID NOT KNOW that there was a LED light on it ... while using stock, the LED light did not come on at all and only when i installed CM12 that i seen the light.
I want to go back to stock but i want the LED light for notifications. has anybody encountered this problem? how do i fix it ?

Stock does not support LED.
For me this is not an issue, why would I want an LED always flashing to show me I have notifications.
Went through the trouble of installing CM12 and you want stock?
Unless something was missing in CM12 like flaky bluetooth I would stick with custom ROMs

You don't want the light but i do ... preferences ...
installing wasn't trouble at all, my problem is that i feel like cm12 needs to get better and less buggy, the rom just started coming out so I wanna wait until most bugs are fixed, I was enjoying stock for a while, just wanted to test out cm12 to see where it was and for the way I like it, it's not ready.

Yes it does require root and you need the paid version of the app. I cannot believe the N6 didn't come stock with led notifications and double tap to wake. Beside the washed out/ way over saturated screen, I think I might return mine to ATT before my 2 weeks are over

Can't complain... Its huge but I kinda like it

Yes I was shocked at the light too.
Definitely should be enabled out of the gate.
Unlike the TINY one behind the HTC speaker grille with very limited viewing angle this one is bright and actually better IMO than Samsung's.

One thing to note is that for now with Light Flow the only colors for the LED are red green or blue. Or if you manually change the color with the built in light flow mixer you can make strange combinations with the top half of the LED being one color and the bottom half another.

Trackball light

Hi,
I have a crazy idea
I see that the Htc hero, is very beautiful when the trackball light is switched on ...
It's possible to leave it switched on always, and make it flash on the notifications ???

Agreed, it is pretty,... But my battery life is poor to almost none existent at the moment,... I wouldn't want it any worse!
But I reckon there are apps for that already,... I think its Handcent that has the option to make it flash more,... there must be others.
I think it would be a better idea to use the trackball light as the Nexus One mod if we can. That mean you can have multiples notifications types according to the trackball light color I don't know if the hero has a multi colors LED unside the trackball, but it would be really great too, much nicer than just let it on

Nope its a single color led
Since its an led, it would actually use very little power. It's worth a try if anyone can get it to work

it would be nice to have this led to blink like nokia E52 or N78 joystik button. It looks like "breathing" (also like Apple Macbook pro led does when laptop is spleeping). I would like it

We on covedesign are currently working on such a code where you can turn on and off all the different lights on your HTC Hero. Its currently an alpha but here is a little sample, however it requires root access and it is tested on eclair/legend based roms. We will release the full source code soon when its all done.

Darchdroidv2.7 - Light sensor and Market update Notification issues

So I have had this light sensor issue since .6.4 release and since until 2.7 there was always something broke with the ROM, I decided to stick with .3 which was stable with light sensors and still had couple of quirks which I really didn't care much about (mms, video ...) as long as light and GPS were perfect!
Now, the issue with the light sensor. You will know if the light sensors are working properly during the installation; once you flash the ROM and reboot the phone, right at the end of (blue) animation the bottom lights light up and the charging light turn red/green, if it is connected to charger. And it does this every time I install 2.6.3 but not since then! ( I can now install 2.6.3 on top of 2.7 and light sensors still works like a charm!)
So what really bothers me with the light sensor? Is it really that important? Well, the way my phone light sensor works is, it turns on only when its dark around and never times out as it should! It never turns on in the day light, you couldn't activate it even by pressing any the buttons at the bottom! The issue is two fold:
1. Light stays on all the time during the night when I am using the phone and drains battery faster
2. Though I really don't care much for not lighting up in the day/bright light, it annoys me that this most loved ROM isn't how it needs to be!
While I am still talking about lights, I think I should mention track ball notifications as well. Even though I have my track ball notifications are turned on, I am yet to see them working! It was randomly mentioned in some thread that it doesn't work! But I miss the point that why put it in the settings if it doesn't work?
I also have issues with Market update notifications, I have used other HTC based custom ROMs in the past and had no issues with notifications but with this I almost never got any!
So far I have tried many trial and error methods to see if it fixes:
- I have flashed ROM repeatedly few times, just to see if it fixes
- I have done complete wipe around 3 times and re-installed
- Rebooted phone several times in addition to above procedures
- In the half way somewhere I realized that I wasn't running Darch's recovery so now I have that too and tried the above procedures
When I was on .4 for a while and having the same issue with lights, some one recommended to take .so files from the other working ROM and patch it to the existing one and it never really worked for me.
With all this, I am not claiming that these issues exists with this ROM in general, it could be me! I could be doing something wrong! That's why I have tried to explain in detail what I have done and what is not working.
What am I looking for? - Help!! If anyone have came across these issues and able to successfully solve and make their phones work or if you have any idea about how to go about these issues, I would like to hear from you guys!!
Darchy, I love your work and this ROM ( that's why I am trying to figure out solution to these issues ) but at times you are very quick at dismissing people, yes some can be ignorant but we are not living in the perfect world!
Thanks in advance for everyone and thanks Darchy for this excellent ROM (it almost killed my desire to switch to some crappy carriers with huge bills to get Nexus One!)
i believe, as far as lights goes, thats just how the ROM is built. not just this one but all ROMs. near the earpiece is the light sensor. if its bright out, theres no point in having the bottom lights come on, youll be able to see the buttons. when its dark, the bottom lights will come on. its basically a battery save kind of thing. no point in having something on, if you really dont need to use it. as far as market notifications, i havent recieved any updates as far as apps goes so i cant tell wether or not they work.

Well, it works but not the way it needs to be! It doesn't work at all in the bright light or day light but in the dark or in the low lit area it keeps on as long as the screen is on! It never times out if it is dark.

so you are saying the light sensor is working because the keys and trackball are lit up in the dark? pretty sure that is the point of the sensor yea? also find a hero rom with working trackball notifications, it has never worked. as far as the market notifications i have gotten 3 or 4 update notifications.
not trying to be a ****, ive had my fair share of issues but after about 4 wipes and reinstalls everything is working great.

which was what i was trying to say. if your in the dark, of course the bottom lights are gonna be on, and stay on. i dont think ive ever used a ROM where the bottom lights have time out while in the dark.

Ok...... lights are working perfect!!! Thanks alot!
I assume this is still incomplete ROM and you need to do lots of tweaks? Just couple of things!
- I don't see 3D gallery anymore and can't sync with Picasa!! I have lots of pics on Picasa!
- Linpack is averaging inbetween 2 and 3 MFLOPs and it used to average around 4.7!
That's all I could catch for now! I am sure it will get better, will use GPS in the morning and let you know if it has any issues!
Thanks again for all your work! Good night!

oh, lol, i removed jit completely, i replaced 3d gallery with the 2d one as its way more stable imo. If u want jit in this i could add it back in for ur benchmarks, but imo thats all its good for until froyo.
so essentially, u are currently running the most bleeding edge version of darchdroid. lol
I feel honored darchy! LOL so with 2d gallery I can't integrate Picasa? I never had any issues with 3d gallery!
I would be glad to test it or run this version if you can add jit and 3d gallery! LOL let me know! I'm kinda addicted to both of those along with your ROM. You do great job!

Whatsapp LED issue?

When I go to whatsapp settings and change the led light to green it doesn't really seem to work. What happens instead is when the phone screen is off and someone sends me a message, a white led light comes on instead (must be default light set by Sony) and when I switch the screen on the led finally flashes green. Some times both colours flash when screen is off
Anyone else have this issue? I tried light manager and when I did the led test the same problem occurs but this time it flashes green once and then back to white light...any way to solve this? A white light is pretty rubbish imo

Are you running under Stamina Mode? If you turn off Stamina, then you would find the LED works well.
It seems SONY didn't get LED issue under Stamina really resolved, SONY just gives LED White light ONLY and Fixed frequency ONLY under Stamina, and customerized light&frequency still not working under Stamina mode.

I think this is an Android related stuff: Fix one thing, break tons of others.
You can see it on CM, AOKP, AOSP. One fix, one bug.
"So I added this thing to have a smoother experience... Oh, it causes battery drain/wakelocks/breaks NFC, etc".
How many times have I seen stuff like that on Development section.

Ambient display is useless

I found that ambient display is useless.
I was thinking that whenever I got notification, the ambient display will lit the screen and then OFF ... then lit ... then OFF.
You know, kind of asking attention.
It is NOT.
It lit ONCE, then OFF forever, until I pick up the phone (of course).
The problem with this, if I leave the phone on my desk for quite long, I won't know if there was notification arrived, unless I pick up the phone.
So, what's the use of this ambient display?
Damn, LED notification would be much useful!

So you can either see the notification come in first time when it lights up. Or you can quickly pick the phone up to see if there are any notifications without it fully waking up.
LED is easier though!
I prefer they don't lit it on and off constantly because it is distracting when you are in a meeting and it drains your battery. Though having an option would be nice
Yeah, I agree it is a useless battery wasting feature (though the impact to battery is minimal). Thankfully the LED can be enabled with Light Flow even though that is flawed as well since the app will randomly get killed and the light won't work.
Ambient Display would be perfect if it flashed continuously until you check it and if it worked in priority mode, which it doesn't if you have priority mode set up like the old silent mode. If you don't want your phone making noise or vibrating but still need to see notifications it is pretty worthless.
you are dead on sir.

I was told Google is moving away from using led notification, but yet they designed a phone? with one built in but totally useless at this point. Hopefully the next update will address this.
Mine flashes continually until I check things... Every ten seconds or so. It is wonderful... Not sure what is up with your guys' one time notifications...
ambient display is alrite.... It doesn't work that well though. It does not consistently work when you pick up the phone. I would much rather have them activate the LED since it's already there.

in all fairness, Moto made the phone, whether for Android Silver or whatever other reason, it wasnt designed ground up with Google or originally planned as a Nexus.
I like ambient. Works great for me. and being an Amoled display, only the pixels being used light up, so battery is minimal
users report otherwise.

Does the device wake up from deep sleep for it? If yes it sure does suck a lot of battery. Especially if it is supposed to flash up in intervals to remind you of the notification.

I just tested it... it flashes up every 30 seconds or so. As soon as as you click on it the screen is on without any delay. So I guess it screws your battery hard by making it wake up each time? It would mean that as soon as you have a notification your device would wake up every 30 seconds.
I can't get Lightflow to work at all. Do you need a kernel that has LED support?

Rooted and use root access for the LED activated in Lightflow.
Lightflow screws up ambient tough. It constantly flashes as if it has an notification, even if it only shows the clock. This WILL kill your battery in my opinion...
Led notification will drain batttery fast?

I actually like it more than Active Display. Active was much more sensitive to movements which for really annoying.

I don't know what settings you set to make it do that.
Light Flow doesn't do that here. Cooperates fine with Ambient.
I know there are people (Lightflow Dev) who are working on getting the built-in led working, and I think that's great. I wonder if there are any devs working on making Ambient Display more useful...? I'm going to shut off the Ambient Display today and mess around with an app I used to use on the Galaxy S called NoLed. It puts dots or icons on the screen and could notify me of anything... might be the ticket here.

On screen notification, work around needed

Dears,
I'm a new owner of a brand new x2 pro, everything's fine so far, but there's just a thing that hassles me and it's the missing notification LED.
I'd like to use one of these workaround apps designed for super Amoled screen but so far, can't find any properly working on my x2 pro.
Tried with AOE (always on edge) but it seems to work randomically... All I need is an app which, in case of screen turned off and with an incoming notification (e.g., a WhatsApp message), automatically switches on a notification effect on screen which should continue blinking until I read the notification itself.
Basically, something that recalls the good old rgb led on phones of some years ago... Is there anything which you tested on Realme phones and it's 100% working?
Thanks a lot

Yeah, notifyBuddy did the job
I'd love to have a bit more chance on the notification type (only pulsing spot is available here) but hey, it's from a developer from XDA devs
Edit : nevermind, it doesn't work in a stable way. Most of the times notifications are ignored.
anyone knows if this working https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe

As far as I can test, these two software doesn't work correctly until you totally deactivate lock screen, so zero security...

NotifyBuddy works perfectly fine on mine!
You will have to exclude it from power saving.
On my X2Pro, notifyBuddy works 1 time out of 4 notification, approximately. I guess it's due to the lockscreen as I disabled any battery optimization for the app.
On the other side, AoE works even worse... Still waiting for a solution for notifications.
