Charging LED - How to disable ?

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.

Wouldn´t it be easier to put the phone upside down???

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?

Lol, I didn't get far enough down the thread in time to see your response. GMTA! (great minds think alike!)

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.

Hi
Does the X1 support this type of function?
Is there a link to such a cab? etc

the X1 does not have a accelerometer so this cant be achieved.

Could the light sensor be implemented for something like this?
I know it will probably only work if the phone is on the table in light conditions, gets turned over and goes dark - bummer if you put it to you ear . . .
Any such solution?

No. And let's face it, not really worth making for such an old device.

Dim hardware keys

Is there any way to dim the back lights on the buttons at the bottom if my phone? At night they're very glaring
[SGH-I337]

nope i think, but its done a good job glaring ur eye to take ur attention, or u can use no led mod make use amoled as notilight instead of ur hardware button led.
ps, i wonder if those two light at da bottom were red light n glaring at darknight when both lighten up, it would be creepy to see from afar herherher

It is possible with a script. Someone made one but i cant seem to find it atm.

I dont know how fast they can be switched on/off.
But something like PWM should be possible. (See wikipedia)
Eg. Swithing on for 2 ms and switching it off for two ms makes the led seem less bright. The eye is slow, so it doesnt see the fast on/off switching.
When eg. Switched on 1microsecond and off 10ms they should be dimmed much more.
Regards

Interesting thinking! The only reason I asked is my old moterola atrix could do it. Thank you all for your help

[Q] Disable notification LED lights when docking..?

I keep my phone docked near my bed when I go to sleep, and I like keeping my room on super darkness..
Unfortunately the phone ruins that for me..
The orange LED for charging is perhaps accepted but if I receive a message / whatsapp / email .. the blinking LED would make my room to an awesome party club..
Is there a way to SHUSSH it out?
to put it on a silence mode or something that when I'm docking you and its nighty time, you don't show me the damn lights..
I'm sleeping you stupid! your suppose to be smart-phone. aren't ya..?
I tried to use Tasker app for this,
Condition: Docked + proper times..
But couldn't find task that remove LED lights or something..
How about you experts?
Could you think of any solution for this please?
Help will be extra appreciated!
Jordan.

settings/display/pulse notification light. check it off. that should stop the blinking, but doesn't turn off the red/orange/green charging light.

I know it isn't ideal but I keep a little bit of masking tape next to my dock, just stick it gently over the LED and boom...sorted.

That removes it for good..
I still wanna see the LED light when I'm awake.. I just don't need it and don't want it when I go to sleep.. (when I'm docking it...)

I covered my router and modem lights with black electrical tape, i've found that works the best

You should see the extension lead next to my bed, it has some silly little LEDs in it to tell you which socket is powering something...I gave up and covered the thing in tape, all except the actual holes.

This really seems to be a problem with several Sony devices. I don't understand what Sony is doing there ...
I'm currently searching all threads here but didn't find any working solution for a similar problem with a Sony Z3
I already invested a lot of time in finding a proper solution for the Z3, but maybe here someone found a solution in the meantime which would also help for the Z3?
Any tips highly welcome.

Just fyi.
I found Light Manager (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager) to solve the problem at least partially (see also http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/light-flow-t2889567/page3#post57060492)

What are we, savages? Duct tape over the phone? Unacceptable. You might as well smash it with a hammer. )))
Leaving joke aside I found your fix. I've tested it on my XZ stock rom. You need to be rooted and with xposed framework installed.
Module is called XLED. It allows you to control charging light, and per app setting. Tested with whatsapp, hangouts and pushbullet.
Install it, activate the module and reboot.
You can disable the led control anytime and reenable on the go without reboot. (it has the switch inside the app).
You're welcome.

Hey Sebi673,
Thanks a lot for the feedback. Your suggestion is great and it would help a lot if it would be my device which needs to be "fixed".
Though the problem is, that it is the device of my girlfriend and I would really like to avoid rooting her phone.
This is really something I should have remarked upfront. Sorry and thanks again for your feedback.
Best,
Tom

How do you install that XLED module?
My Xperia Z2 tablet is simply awful when you cannot turn off that damned led. 99% of the time it sits in the docking station acting as a digital photo frame and the led is blinding at night and distracting during the day.

Try this plastered app - works quick and we'll on my z5 compact:
Disable Charging LED

Brighter notification LED ?

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!

+1 here. No solution yet...

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?
