Blinking Led - Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, newbie here. Please pardon me if my english is a bit broken.
Well, when I receive a notification (for example, message from Facebook/Messenger), the notification led only blinks when my phone is charging.
I've read that the white led was not supposed to act that way, in fact, officially it's supposed to light-on (not blinking) as an indicator of charging or near-death battery.
I've tried some apps here and there but most of them only give a continuous light when charging, whatsoever it's intended for. Also found an app called Light Flow that was a bit closer to my needs, but didn't work at all. I don't know why but I think that's because the app is supposed to work on another type of phone, with RGB leds. I tried it for about two hours testing and did change nothing .
My last phone before the Moto E was a Motorola Razr D1, very similar to the Moto E, and that phone also had a white led. But in that phone the led only blinked for notifications, regardless of being charged or not, and also did not bring a continuous light when in charge. I want to replicate this feature if possible.
Is there a way to make my led blink for notifications regardless of being charged?
And, if the last is possible, does involve the continuous light? I hope not, I really hate that thing and find it pointless. Just want the notifications.
Thanks in advice!

Which ROM are you on?
In stock (or by default) notification LED in moto e blinks when there's a notification regardless of the state of charging.
There's no "Light On" criteria either (unless you're using custom rom/mod/app).

I completely forgot, sorry.
I'm using Cyanogenmod 12, never used the stock rom. My dad gave it to me and I inmediately flashed.

Led on while charging

hi guys,
this really is one of those "first world problems", but it is bothering me indeed..
I noticed that the "charging" led only comes on when the phone is plugged in but turned off.
I'd like for it to always be on while charging, whether turned on or off, and ideally for it to change color once charge has reached 100%.
Tried Light Flow, but doesn't seem to work.. any ideas?
I'm using lightflow and its working fine for me. It flashes orange while charging and green when it reaches 100%. It only flashes phone screen is locked though.
My charging LED does not come on at all when plugged in.....
For the record, when mine is powered off and plugged in I get the Battery display with a cool liquid filled battery as well as a notification light.
its a motorola thing. When ur device is on and charging the led light won't be on. Its the same on the xoom. Unless until some dev makes a custom kernel

[Q] Green notification light not working

Hi I just recently installed Wolfbreak gaming rom, everything was fine until I charge my phone and noticed that the notification light was red not orange I thought the battery was too low, I left my phone charging until 100% but instead of showing the green light it turned off, I used led tester to check the led and the green color barely appears, and the yellow, orange and white colors shows a red notification, is it a hardware issue, do I need to replace the led, or is it a bug from the custom rom

If led tester shows up the green color it indicates that this is surely software issue. The "diode" in X10i is RGB module. There might be G damaged, but as you told, green colour appeared in led tester.
There might be another problem, with your battery... Dont you use some OEM battery? Try to clean battery stats and reboot, it might help.

Mod Charging LED to stay on constantly (screen on or off)

I've noticed that the notification LED (orange while charging) is on if the screen is off, but then turns off as soon as the screen is turned on, although the phone obviously continues to charge, as it shows in the top or with any battery widget.
Any other Android phone I've have before, incl. other Samsung phones, have charging indicators that stay on continuously while charging regardless of phone or screen state. I think that makes a lot more sense, that the charging LED would stay on while the phone is charging.
Is there a way (maybe with root) to enable the charging light to stay on all the time even with the screen on while the phone is charging? Would this require a custom kernel, since that is out of the question with the locked bootloader (not using a kexec or the recovery partition obviously) right now. Is the light going off when the screen comes on something specific to the VZW model, or are all versions like that, if anyone seems to have a different version of this phone?
Thanks
I know that the app Light Flow LED control will be updating their app to support the GS3 soon and you will be able to use the LED as you described plus much more.

I believe the idea is so you dont have a light in your eyes when looking at your phone while it's charging. I know I hate that.

I was actually looking for some way to get the notification light to pulse, ie dim from high to low, instead of just flashing on and off. Not sure if it is, but does anyone know if this would even be possible?

[Q] Red light constantly on

Hi.
My wife has an international SGS3 and the other day she let it fully discharge. After charging up completely the notification light is constantly on with a red color. No matter what we do, it's always on and sometimes it gets mixed with other colors. I've rooted the phone and gone into CWM and the light is still on, so this is not software/kernel/rom related. I tried resetting the battery stats but no luck.
Can someone help me ? I think that somehow the battery got into a charging state and, even after being fully loaded, it still reports as being charged.

Led blinking for no reason

The title says it all really. Been running RR for a couple of weeks but last night my LED was blinking blue but there was no notification, it was unplugged and 73% charged at the time. I played about in the LED settings and it stopped when I changed the low charge LED colour from blue to red. Any ideas why it did it?
Thanks
Why dont u post that bug in the rom thread where it should be... It's not hardware related ?
Thanks any way for me to delete this one?
