Notification light at the back?? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did anyone notice that there is a notification light at the back of the phone inside the black glass module?
I was at the movies on saturday and noticed that the light blinks for a brief millisecond on every notification.
Edit: Just noticed that its the camera flash actually which goes off.

Standby led?

Does any standby led flash on your own devices?
There is a led beside earpiece but it never flashes.
Read your user manual. The so called led beside the earpiece is a light sensor and not an led.
The stndby led does not flash unless u have a missed call or sms.
The LED is in the Power button, which flashes when you have a Missed call/sms/email in green, or flashes red when the battery is low, or stays red when charging.

Yes, I found it, thanks.
However, it only functions when charging the battery. It doesn't flash upon missed calls or sms...

goto settings > alarms and notifications and make sure the tick box is marked against LED. Also you can state the length of time you want it to flash.

Is it visible under daylight?
Or do we really have to be in a dark room to see the LED flashing?

No, you don't have to go to a dark room to see it... but it's tiny...
i wonder why they didn't place it somewhere on the front of the device...

[Q]LED lights as status light

Is there an app/ hack to make the led (White LED that indicates charging/ new mail) blink like the network status light??
Its hard to figure out if the phone is on/off and also if there is a network signal or not!!
But it is not a LED, it cannot emit "Light", even you can write a software but you cannot make a sensor become a LED!!

no what we want is that, the light stays on, so perhaps if we missed the virbrate or noise, wen we , take it out of our pocket it is obvious we have a message, because the LED will be on

Same problem here... when i am going to settings and set it on manual and then the lights are illuminated.. untill i lock the screen en when i unlock it the light wont light up... so maybe it is a bug in the rom... so my experiene is that it does not matter if u set it to auto/manual ... it just does not work like it should be ..

[Q] Using Heart rate monitor red LED as a notification light? Is it possible?

Hey guys ,
I was thinking about this today. Can the Heart Rate Monitor's Red LED be used as a notification light? And customize the way it flashes to tell you vaguely what the notification is about before you check your phone? I sometimes leave my phone upside down; Even the dedicated LED on the front isn't bright enough to see if there is any notification.
Anyways let me know,
Thanks
I want that too
I was wondering about the same thing
good to see other users on the same boat with me
I want it to be turned on in-call and as a notification LED
is that possible ? anyone ?
I thought a lot more people would be interested in this. Having notification LEDs on both sides of the phone and having the back LED really bright red.
Any update on this?
or at least a way to make the standard LED notification way brighter...my note 2 have a bigger and brighter LED than the Note 4, I hope someone can find a way to make this happen...
Same thing I asked and in hopes of an asnwer

i know that Emotion kernel has a few settings to send more voltage to the notification led, and to make it pulse instead of blink.
and it's also easy to make a profile in tasker to make the camera flashlight flash or pulse when you get a call or whatsapp message or whatever you want
you'd have to be pretty deep asleep or almost blind to miss that then :laugh:
i don't think it's possible to use the heart rate sensor for notifications though, since it's a sensor and not a light
hope it helps a bit :good:

I did use the camera flash as a notification LED for calls. But I don't like it as it is too much like a flash (duh) For example my buddy was sitting in the train in NY and had his phone in his hand and when he got a call, the flash came on and there was a girl sitting in a short skirt across from him who thought he was taking upskirt pics, lol.
And having a red LED on the back is something different and a little better than a white bright flash.
I don't know much about phone coding, but would there be a way to trigger the sensor into thinking that it is taking a measurement, when you receive a notification?

it's probably possible if you can find the hardware path for the sensor, then you could use it with a tasker profile or make it in a mod.
But i have no idea how to find that path, and IF it even works then

Well I know for a fact that CM does have support for the sensor, and its not a hardware coded sensor as it can be used through the S Health app on the PLAY Store. So if you really wanted to know where to start looking I would say start there.
You could decompile the S Health app and see what portions of the system it access's to use the sensor and then develop from there.
I think it's rather hard, not to say impossible if you're not working for Samsung
Up :3
In test menu *#0*# / sensor / heart sensor / the red light can flash without the finger..
any updates on this?

No problem man :angel:
Now for example we can use an application like "Automate" to auto enter in menu test and click "EOL TEST " when it receive a notification.
But it is too complicated..
Can anyone create a mod or anything..?
Hi, Nothing new app or module xposed about red led notification?

LED Notification Color

Is anyone else's notification color off? Setting it with Lightflow setting the LED to Green turns it blue, blue turns it pink. Sometimes when testing everything works normal. But when I get an actual notification it is the wrong color.
