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!

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.

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:

Don't wanna be an ass here but what about just turning the docking station around, it's the most simple solution and does not require you to mess with the software.
the led´s are to bright the hole bedroom become bright
How about closing your eyes?
The LED isnt that bright that you will see it with shut eyes

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.

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.
Cheers

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?
Hey Everyone!
I am new to this site so pl bear with me if I am posting some wrong thing.
Got MOTO X Verizon running on HSPA in INDIA. Everything seemed to work good.
Suddenly after 3 days of normal use (no dropping, no dumping, no water damage), screen started to garble at uneven intervals.
With all the pain to search for the problem all over the internet I at last (i think) solved the problem.
For this I had disassembled the screen and motherboard and just pressed the golden sticker (above the inter-connecting cable on the back of the screen)
Screen works fine now, but I guess I screwed up the proximity sensor mounted on the motherboard (seemingly irreplaceable.)
When calling the screen goes black etc...( i know this issue has been cited many times...mine is different I believe)
This was working when i got the phone (waving my hand always used to start the active display).
I checked my settings for Active display, got numerous apps for the the proximity sensor testing. [ Phone Tester shows proximity FAR and does not change that value whatever i do; "Proximity Sensor Finder" shows 3.0 cm last value and does not change ever either]
Then I tried everything from the rubber gasket installation to a hard reset, factory reset and what not.(thanks to tonnes of websites and people helping all over the world)
NO LUCK!
I also noticed that the LED beside the sensor used to blink which has actually stopped. LIGHT sensor and all others are working nicely.
This is where my issue lies :silly: : " Has anyone got this type of problem? Has the golden sticker on the right top corner on the back of the screen anything to do with the RED LED of the proximity? I tried all dialers, all possible ways to bypass the Proximity but invain. I am not wishing to root this phone and I am not good with coding either. Can this be a software issue? (running 4.4.4).Is there a calibrator out there to rejuvenate my proximity?
PLEASE HELP!!
For the time being I am using bluetooth headsets (where the screen remains open).
In Kitkat?

This feature is gone with Lollipop though...
And I read you're on kitkat, but really there was a LED blinking there???
I own an xt1060. There is an LED there, but its always been less than useless for me. It never turns on. Ever. Not for calls (missed or otherwise), notifications, or charging. I've often wondered why it's there.
I can make it work in Cyanogenmod. Any stock ROM renders it useless.
when you said you checked gasket are you referring to the tinny black rectangle gasket around the led and prox censer? when i first starting working on the x i had smiler issue, the little gasket fell off and i did not notice it

Exactly the same small thing I m taking about.. God knows I dropped it or not... But when I opened it for the 4th tym... I noticed was not there.. Then I did not get it anywhere in sale and so replaced it with a small white rubber piece with 2 similarly cut holes. No luck. Where did u get it from?
BTW I believe it will make the proximity work only if the led on its left side blinks. That works like a transmitter and receive I guess.
My led won't even flash for once..
I plead to all the genius developers to device an app for proximity bypass.

You seem to not understand that even you have cut a replacement gasket, it may look perfect to you, but it can easily block the proximity and that's about it.
You should try with original one, then start pulling off conclusions if the sensors are defective or not.
Why don't you run a dry test without the gasket?

"Dry test?" can you please elaborate this?
BTW I had tried using without the gasket too. Same values on the tester apps.
If sensor is working each time the value should change at least a bit when open to light without gasket.

By dry test I meant to test it without putting the display/frame over the board and test it that way. If it's not defective you should get proper readings off it.
