[Q] GB 2.3.4 = no more battery charged green led indicator? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
One of the things I've noticed after upgrading to GB 2.3.4 is that no more green led indicator when battery is fully charged.
Is there a tweak for this to bring it back?
Thank you.

I don't believe it ever did for stock ROMs. I always had green while charging then it went off when charged.
I use Circle Battery from the market and with this app you can tell it what colors to display on screen and/or LED when charging, charged, in use, warning and critical.

It does work on stock 2.2, but after upgrade to any 2.3.4 (stock or custom) it doesn't...
On my atrix it only lit when battery is fully charged and flashes on some notifications. Not sure why you had it in reverse.
I found "Circle Battery Widget" and "Battery Circle" neither of them have control for LED.

I have still yet to do GB since I have that on my SGS, and it's a PITFA to go back to Froyo on the Atrix.
Anywhoo... The green charging light works in Froyo. It starts lighting up at 90%, and stays on until you take the phone off the charger.
Don't know how this behaves on GB, so I can only go off of what OP says it does (which kinda sucks)...

Circle Battery Widget does. Start the app from the apps menu>Select Colors>then you have the different custom colors to select based on status. You can also change the percentage for the warnings levels.
When it is plugged in and charging the widget will change color on LED. And, widget changes on the screen. There isn't a specific setting box for it, but it works for both screen and LED.

Oh, ok, for the moment I went back to 2.2.2 and it colors on widget don't affect colors of LED. But it's good to know that there is a way for 2.3.4 get it activated.
Thanks.

you can use "Light Flow" or "Blink" from the market. both allow you to customise the LED colour and what type of notification.

Change color when battery is full charged

I know that it is possible to use app to use different colors of led to display different system messages. But I wold appreciate if I cold just change led color from green to blue (or other then green, yellow os red) when batt charge is on 100%.
Do anybody know if there is a config file to do this?

Oh, I'm sorry. My English is very bay, and I think that you (and maybe all others) did not understand me.
I'm not trying to change battery icon, but the led color. By default, it lights on red when batt are lower than 10%, green when is over 90% and yellow (orange?!?) between these values.
I would like to change the color from green to blue (or any other) when the batt is on 100%.
Tks for your help, anyway...
Sorry I misread you. BTW, I saw one such app (launched today itself) in Android Games & Apps section but a it is for DroidX only. Anyway link is posted for you to see yourself.

so we need to replace "charged state" led color somehow, and change it by the level of charging, right?
so howto? :}
i've tryed alert in tasker, and looks like it doesnt work on our lil minis
ok. now it works, only if screen is off.
but the charging led is anyway over eeemmm... overconlrolling this. i mean no tasker led blinks, if you put the charger in

[Q] Notification LED

Hi all,
I've noticed there are several different LED colors that appear for notifications.
Was just wondering if anyone had figured out which color corresponds to which notification?
Because sometimes the light is blue, green or white? Can't decide which color is for what
Thanks guys

There is not much informations on that page.
When you plug the charger, led will red if battery level is btw 0 and 90%, above 90% its green (even at 100, it still show green-i dont like that).
When you download any app on market, led will blink...
The notification LED can be controlled based on what the app wants. FB can make a blue LED, Whatsapp and general notifications are green, charging is yellow, fatal errors are red, white I've seen on different apps, so it really depends on your app usage. You can't control it directly though settings or anything.
Thanks all for your answers.
Does anyone know of an app in the market which enables you to take control of the LED color? So I can set the LED to flash a set color for certain apps?
Thanks again everyone.
Light Flow works, but you gotta go into
General settings for the app and enable "Direct Mode"
It also asks for root and accessibility settings enabled, but it does work

[Q] cm9dx2 green charge light

Hi, any easy way to disable the bright green light when plugged in?
Well I know that when you get a notification when its on, the light will go off after you dismiss the notification. You can always just send yourself a quick text. lol. But the light color is set by how the battery is. So if you are at 50 percent or so, once the light is off, it will come back on when it hits the next battery stage, if that makes sense. For example, at 50 percent, the light will be yellowish. At about 80, maybe, it will turn green. So when it decides to go to the next color, it will come on again. Just trying to give you an understanding of how the light works. lol.
There are apps that let you control the light. I have tried LEDs hack but it got my hard key lights stuck on with ICS. I think there is another one calls light flow or something like that that may help.
Sorry for the long response. lol
Thank you jsgraphicart,
I did not notice the changing colors. I'll try out the text thing.
-ry
Lighflow works great, dunno if it has any issues with CM9 though
I've used lightflow on Eclipse since 0.2 and never had a problem. I will look into this now and post results.
EDIT: It Kills it! Set up all your notifications the way you like, and make sure charging settings are controlled, but no notifications set!
Have you tried turning off the notification light under setting>display?

I like that charging light. Actually I love it. Is there a way to enable it in every rom?

I just came across that setting. That should work for when you want it off at night. But you need to turn it back on to get the LED to display for notifications again. I might use this at night now. Thanks.
So in Alpha 5, you have the option of turning off the notification during "quiet hours". Disable notification LED from 10pm to 5am or whatever.

[Q] Does anybody else's notification light..

turn green, whilst charging, when the battery hits 90% and before 100%? Is there anyway to change this?

The Xperia Z Ultra behaves the same way so this is normal sony behavior
There are three colors of led during charging: red - from 0 to 15%, orange to 90% and green to 100%.
This happens with my S3 too. I believe it is Android standard

You'll need to hack the android code to change this I believe.

does this for the Z and Z1 mobiles
You can modify it using Charging LED
Another option is to just use Lightflow... Been using it for years so I can get my own LED colours for everything (including battery stuff).

So using LightFlow for custom colors for the notification led works good on Z2?
I'm using LightManager and it works great. It even has alternating led notifications (f.e. mail and msg will trigger two colors).

Does it work when the screen is locked? I noticed my LED turns back to white when my screen is locked but turns to the correct color when unlocked.
Yes it does. Actually it works ONLY when the screen is off (even when testing colors). The moment you unlock your phone it resets all notification. I'm still testing free version but I might go for paid version soon (ad free, not that it bothers me but wanna support devs).

Q: How to disable indicator light when charging?

upgraded to MM and wanted to find out whether there is a way to disable the indicator LED when the phone is on the charger.
There is a setting under display that allows one to disable the indicator light for notifications. That doesn't affect the charging behavior though and the light is still red/orange when charging and green when charged. Pretty annoying at night.
is there an app or hack for this?
thanks
Maybe GravityBox (Xposed needed)
GravityBox is made for stock Android and may not work on themed or skinned ROMs such as Honor's EMUI. Check or ask the developer first.
thanks folks. I asked the dev and have not heard back yet.
