Q: How to disable indicator light when charging? - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

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.

[Q] GB 2.3.4 = no more battery charged green led indicator?

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.

[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

Flashing Blue LED

Does anyone know what the flashing blue LED means? And is there a way to disable it, at night it can be very bright!
Paul
Probably some useful info in the user guide http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/GT-I9300MBASWC-downloads?isManualDownload=true
Sent from my CM9 TouchPad
Nope, nothing in the manual that refers to the Blue Flashing LED.
Paul
Do you have anything enabled in the LED light settings that would explain why it's flashing?

Please read again.
Settings -> LED Settings
Red is low battery and/or charging
Green is fully charged
Flashing blue means there is a notification of some sort.
Thanks Lenny,
The manual does not help:
●● Missed event: Set to turn on the service light when you have missed calls, messages, or notifications.
Doesnt say "Blue" anywhere so not exactly easy to find!
Paul
It's blue for every app notification unless you have light flow installed so you'll have to work out which app is notifying you
Usually I've forgotten to read an email or text message though - annoying though when you can't track it down

Trying light flow as that does exactly what I require.
Thanks very much.

I use calendar snooze for my appointment reminders, and I set it to flash red for them.
I have been looking in Tasker if there is a setting there to turn reminders off while my 'night' setting is active. I also find them annoying during the night, but haven't been able to find a setting there yet. Anyone got any ideas?
what has to be done or there's an app that's already out, the led has to flash for a certain time and it turns off. constant flashing will piss people off and may possibly kill the battery

If you really think about it though, that flashing light probably consumes less battery then you having to turn on the screen to see if you have a new notification that you might have missed. Even if your screen is on for 5 seconds it is still waking up the phone and causing it time for it to fall back into sleep.

[Request] LED Notification & Extended Standby

Hi,
I am sure this would be something a lot of people would find useful.
Could anyone with any know how make a mod or know how we can set it up so that our Z2 while using "Extended Standby" with STAMINA mode will be able to have Lightflow or other LED notification programs to work?
I stumbled upon this thread which had a mod/fix but for older devices/android versions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574113
Right now if "Extended Standby" is disabled, the LED notification works as intended. But the moment "Extended Standby" is switched on, the LED notification becomes a default very quick flashes of light lilac light which doesn't notify much at all and very easily missed.
upz for this.

Does the Honor 9 receive many updates?

I've never owned an Honor or Huawei device before, so I'm curious about updates.
Does the Honor 9 receive Google's monthly security patches? Or are the updates few and far between?
Also, how good is the theming in the stock firmware? Can you change the theme of the settings menu and quick settings?
I would not say it recieves monthly updates for security patches. Mine sits at 5'th July at the moment. One new OTA is on the way some has started to recieve it. It's the third OTA since they released the phone one of which got pulled at one point because of some issues. The theming engine is very good you can theme basically anything including third party apps and what you mention.

Thanks for the reply. It sounds like EMUI is quite similar to MIUI in terms of both updates and themes. The July security patch is better than some flagships.
Can the colour and blinking speed of the notification LED be customised with apps like Light Flow and Light Manager? By default, is it green for messages and red for charging?

I don't use Light Flow so I wouldn't know sorry. Yeah it's green for messages for charging it's yellow while it charges and green when it's filled. And for Tapatalk it's the yellow/orange as usual.

I use Light manager and it works flawlessly but:
it's impossible (anyway I'm not able to do it) customize blink speed. Colors are right but speed it's always the same
Notifications are ok with all apps but charging. Charging colors are overwritten by system settings (orange until 90% and than green). More it's impossible to disable them during quiet hours set by Light manager. I'm root but I don't have found a way to do it.
I've tried Light Flow too. It seems worst than Light Manager but I've tried it for a couple of minutes than maybe I'm wrong.

I think no. But I've rooted phone as out of the box so I don't have a definitive answer !

So it's green at 90% and at 100%? That seems silly. If you want to glance at your phone to see if it's fully charged, you don't know if it's 90% or 100%.

Most phones I've had turn green at 90%. I guess it has something to do with the fact that the battery takes less beating in the long run if you don't charge it till 100% all the time.
Short answer is NO
I live in UK bought 9 over 3 weeks ago and have had NO updates. Still on the b100 firmware and May security patch.
Has the b130 update been pulled?
If not, I'm not impressed with the way Honor release updates.
