I almost trade in my cruise, but I noticed that the LED on the earpice does not blink..we tried to plug the charger, does not turn orange or green..so I back out..the store dont want me to open a second one.
I saw a guy buying in Fortress (in HK, it's been here since last Friday), and it does not blink as well... well but it really looks like a LED on it..
looking for the brochures.....to check
Sure it's not just the light sensor?
It probably is, the scroll weel thing seems to do all the blinking.
its definitely a light sensor
Cheers

Yes it’s a light sensor. I mentioned this in an earlier thread. It allows the backlight to adjust automatically to its surroundings.
Sorry evryone..just got mine...
It is the light sensor...too much on my Cruise...
ok, so there is no led on the diamond? that s not common for an htc, and that s not very convenient to know if you missed some calls or if your device if fully charged etc

Lol there is an array of lights around the directional control. It lights up veyr nicely, and much more noticeably than the tiny LEDs on previous HTC devices. It glows with a slow pulsating when charging, and flashes when there is a missed call or SMS (according to your preference settings).
"It glows with a slow pulsating when charging" and when charging is over it stops pulsating or is a solid light ?

Let's be careful, it could be HAL !
And how u know if the phone is still on ?Is there no option to make the joistick blink while in standby?????
Pull out the stylus. If it's on, the screen will turn on.

Just got the new phone today. The LED lights aren't switched on by default. So when the phone is charging, have bluetooth switched on, missed calls etc.... nothing
In the sounds and notifications setup the tick box for the light is greyed out. Is there a registry setting to turn them on, or is my phone faulty ??

Do you mean the circle LED? Reading the manual they should flash or spin in a circle depending on whats happening. there is no Bluetooth light from what I can tell.

Hello there,
is there any way to disable the charging LED ?
to each his own, but im curious, why? i just got my phone, but i love the charge lights
Very odd request. How will you know your phone is fully charged if you disable the light?
i bet it's just a registry edit, i'll look around and fiddle around with stuff.

You can also see this in the main display, when the charging icon changes to the battery symbol.
I want to follow up with a related question;
Is there any software to tweak how the LED is blinking? In other words, change the direction and speed. I like the spinning motions (recived SMS) better than the up and down (charging) direction.

In that case, you may want to have the phone and a few other lights turned on while you sleep if the night nerves you. That way you'll have some comfort while sleeping.
If I've misunderstood you, and you mean the light bothers you, then I would also suggest not sleeping with the phone resting against your face, with the light flashing in an eye.
Ok by now you know I'm just kidding, so no offense, but couldn't you just put your phone face down on the table, or even on a cloth if you're worried about it scratching?

I used the kaiser notification setup program to disable all my leds
Try this
My girlfriend has the same "issue" about small blinking lights in the bedroom.
She has a HTC P4350 (Herald) and i installed nueLED for her to disable the charging LED and also the signalling LED.
I don't know if the app works on a TP
I does require .NET CF 3.5

I like the way the phone seems to breathe (with the light) while charging. I think it'd be cool to be able to have it beam different colors. Sigh...remembering that bright, shiney new v600 so long ago...
there 8 leds in it on the front. would be nice to be able to control this somehow. there is probably a separate dll for this. like the led of the camera which is hidden in the cameradriver.
A LED control app would be a awesome gadget. Because nueLED is very limited in functions.
I have had the phone for about a week now and I love it, however one of my big complaints is that the active notifications do not show any battery info, charging or percentage blah blah blah. My phone died the other night and when it was plugged in it had a bright green LED under the earpiece. Any other time I've plugged it in it has never come on. Does anyone know why it would come on one time and never again? Has anyone else seen this elusive LED?

I saw this on a display model at ATT with a dead battery. The earpiece was lit by a green LED.
maybe try lightflow?

I thought the same thing, and I played around with it a little and couldn't get the light to come on. I'm just curious because motorola made the point that LED's don't give any information like active notifications give, yet they still put one on the phone. It just appears it barely ever comes on.
We definitely need to figure this out!

LED Light Answer
Found the answer in the owner's manual, of all places, on the page "At a Glance" with the illustration of the phone's features. The arrow in the diagram points more or less to the sensor right next to the earpiece. That small oblong is not just the light sensor to turn off the screen when you have the phone up to your ear. It also houses the Low Battery LED. Sometimes it really does pay to read the instructions, however boring they may be.
Low Battery LED:
This LED lights up when you plug in your
charger and the smartphone’s battery level is too low to
power on the display. It means that your smartphone is
charging and will be ready to use shortly.

Knowing that Motorola's way of Notification LED was their Active Display, it would be redundant to have the Notification LED too.
Even with root there's no physical way to enable this light in other circumstances?
I emailed LightFlow and got this reply:
Hi
Sadly it doesn't really have much led hardware in it. There's one
green led which I think can only be controlled with root access from
the experiments I've tried with a user.

I'm pretty sure it was confirmed that the LED in the earpiece was connected directly to the charging hardware found on the MotoX. What does this mean? It means we will probably never be able to take advantage of it. It's nothing the software can take control of.
Just to throw this out there, will this work?

Hi, I think that the notification LEd of our HTC One is really poor. It really small and also not very bright, so it's very hard to see if you are not in a dark place.
But I noticed that when the battery is empty, or nearly empty, and you plug in the charger with the phone turned off, the LED is much brighter than usual.
So I wonder if it would be possible to make a hack for increase its brightness for every notification.
Thanks!

My led died last December. I don't miss it. But I was on the search for a brighter light too. I know that there are some hacks but I don't know exactly where and what.

Are you sure it's not just covered with dust or something? Try cleaning out with a toothbrush, some people "recovered" its led and loudness after cleaning

Yeah I'm pretty sure. I cleaned it very often it's dead and I don't care anymore. It's not worse to me.
Okay, I fixed my LED brightness.
It really was very very dim in phone's standby regime. Entering the bootloader or and other on/off procedure was setting orange led ON FIRE! That means there is a lot of power getting lost somewhere. In the /system/sys/class/leds/amber and /system/sys/class/leds/green there is a file named "pwm_coefficient" that determines LED's strength. I was unable to edit it on my (stock 5.0.1) kernel, but somebody may be able to do that, and alter the default value of "5" to something like "255" which I believe is maximum.
Anyhow, as a last resort (being so frustrated not being able to see my notifications on time) I decided to physically clean the LED's hole. I used an extra spiked toothpick (just give it a nice touch with a sharp knife, to make it super pointy and thin) and stuck it inside, rotating vigorously. It turns out that was it, it's as bright as new.
Still I wonder why dirty LED was shining brighter prior to boot?
I could've swore I seen info about the v40 having a notification led. Does it have one or no?
I'm asking because a recent video I saw, stated it didn't have one.
Hehh, it doesn't. And I just noticed this after having the phone for 2 weeks.
It does have edge lighting when its locked/off tho. And that is really neat.

That sucks. I hated that about the v30.
I'll have to look up the edge lighting.
Edit: Just seen edge lighting and it's nowhere near as good as an led. Man, I may have to reconsider this phone now.
Its really neat to watch. It moves around the screen and glows alternatingly. I want to say it changes color too.

But it doesn't go on continually.
True, but who now-a-days doesn't automatically check their phone when they pick it up. Light or no light? Its instinct - at least for me - to pick up the phone and hit the screen to open it and look at my notifications.

Ok bro whatever that works for you. Lg 40 is not for you. Good luck
I've got a 1 year old now, and try to keep my phone usage to a minimum with her around, not to mention protecting my new LG from her grip.
My phone sits on the counter, and unless I see the notification light, I keep it out of the way. I've missed tons of messages, some concerning time related issues, since I'm not one of those "pick up the phone every 3 seconds millennial" types.
I never thought they'd take the LED away, so I didn't even check before I bought it.
Too late for me.
From my understanding none of the v-series had led notification light.. My last lg phone with notification light was the lg g2
Except with apps like Light Flow, the light means very particular things. Certain contacts, certain apps, etc. can all be seen from across the room or in the dark, where the AoD requires focusing and being nearby.

I was a bit put off with the V40 not having a notification light also. I've tried several alternative apps ...
(Always On Edge Display, LED Blinker and NoLED).
The only one that works, for me is the NoLED app. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730692
