You can try go to Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Static LED and select option 2. That will give you somehow continuous red LED (In fact it is just 8s on 2s off as reported by other Nexus 5 user).

I have to restart LM after completing Titanium backup for All User Apps. Not a big deal but nice to have if it will stay on after that TT task.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
I too have a problem with google hangouts. But, not with receiving notifications, all good with that. Problem is that when i send a message, and leave the app, turn screen off, LED will blink. And it will blink because of delivery report. Then i need to open app and close, and LED stops blinking. So i think app turns led on to let me know that message was delivered, but we must look in the hangouts conversation to see if message is delivered because it only shows checkmark. I dont see a reason for led to blink on delivery.

Its possible on nexus, at least with facebook messenger app. When you receive notification, and screen turns off itself, quickly press power button to turn screen on, and led will blink with screen on and unlocked until you open that chathead.

Are you using normal mode? If yes, try go into Light Manager > Hangouts > Allow Recreate Notification and enable it see if it can solve the LED keeps blinking.

No, once screen is on, notification LED will not be able to turn on. Sometimes I noticed that it actually can, but just for a flick of second.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
Thanks i will try this.

Also, i tried and recreated led blinking on screen on and unlocked many times, but only with facebook messenger. Ill try once more and leave it so i can see how long it would blink.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Elluel:
What does the static LED option do? I never figured it out.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Nexus 5 requires different value to generate a non-blinking LED (static LED). For example, Nexus 5 should use Option 2 while Samsung device should use Option 1 (default).
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Elluel:
Thanks for clarification. The app seems to work perfectly c:

Could any Nexus 5 users here help to test if static LED (option 2) on Light Manager is working? Someone complaining that the pulse is 3 seconds on and 1 second off repeatedly which I think it is too fast. Last time it was 8s on and 2s off repeatedly as reported by one of the Nexus 5 user.

Thank you in advanced.:good:

Edit: please disregard this message, sorry. I just woke up and realised I'm using light flow :-/

Hi. I got the paid version and it's working flawlessly. No problem with sticky led notifications.

The only thing that did not happen on my past gnexus, it's the led flurring with colours for just a sec when I lock the screen AFTER I checked the notifying app. It's not a problem IMHO, I consider it funny :)

I'll try the static option today and let you know here.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] alen1901:
I use option 1 and led is static like it should be. With option 2 which you said it would need to ne selected, it goes out then comes up. Its 8sec on and i would say less then 1sec off. But maybe its due to that jerky transition from lowest brightness to max.

Seems like you are using custom ROM? There could be modification on kernel that make notification LED behaves differently.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] firin:
Is there any way led light stays on while its charging rather then blinking...??

Yeah, custom rom and custom kernel. Dont know hows on stock.

Try go to Light Manager > Advanced Settings > Static LED and change it to Option 2.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] daigoro64:
Just tried here: static LED option 1 is working just fine (i.e. LED is steady). Option 2 fades out the LED every 5 seconds with a complete cycle every 8 seconds.

Thanks for your interest on N5. Using LM Pro if it matters.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Seems like you are using custom ROM and custom kernel as well.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Mr.Wolf:
I'm using Light manager 6.0 for battery, missed calls, SMS and MMS.

I now have stock 4.4.3 Android and wanted to report that LM still works very well.

I configured Static LED to Option 2 and it works as described in FAQ, +-8 seconds LED ON, then it fades to OFF, less than a second OFF, next it fades to ON and keeps this cycle.

I would prefer LED always ON, but that being impossible with stock ROM, this cycle behavior is perfect.

With stock 4.4.3 ROM, the other Options (1 and 3) don't work (as described in FAQ).

I also use the option "Show notification Icon" to guarantee LM is always running.

I would like to suggest an option for a transparent icon, so LM is always running, but we don't see it's icon in the top left of the homescreen.

In LM configuration page, I see 1 very bright pixel top left of the GMAIL word.

If you scroll the screen the pixel stays always at same coordinates.

This looks like a always on pixel, but it's not a LCD problem.

I can capture the screen, zoom it and still see the bright pixel, so I think LM is drawing it.

I can post the picture if needed.

I have a question not related to LM:

Sorry to bother you with this, maybe you could have an suggestion about this issue that I have.

When I bought my nexus 5, the factory default missed call notification light was working.

Then I tried a lot of LED manager programs and one of them messed my missed call led notification (I don't know which one, but it was not LM).

Since then, my factory default missed call notification, never worked again without a 3rd part led notification app.

I dirty installed 4.4.3 (to keep my apps and conf.) and the missed call led notification still doesn't work without an app.

Any idea how I could fix this?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Thanks for the feedback.

About the transparent icon, it is possible but it will still occupy a blank space on the notification bar which will make it looks weird.

About the fixed pixel, it is because you are blocking ads. The pixel is drawn by the ads. Perhaps your ads blocker could not fully block it and left one pixel.

I remember that there is a Nexus 5 users reported that the factory default missed call notification light does not work stably on all Nexus 5. Some are working, some are not. You can refer to the post at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50647051&postcount=1697
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Mr.Wolf:
Thanks for your reply, it explains it all.

I understand what you say about the transparent icon, it only made sense to me because I don't have any other icons there.

The bright pixel is indeed the place of an ad banner, I never saw it because I always use a firewall for security reasons.

I always thought I had a stuck pixel in my screen (with that gray background), but recently found it was draw.

I created a FW rule for LM and could see the ad banner, I'll leave it that way.

I followed the links about the nexus 5 stock LED and see a lot of ppl have problems with stock led not working for missed calls (I'll try to factory reset someday).

Thanks for a great app :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] meteora:
LM does not work!

LM was not working on my device after updating to 4.4.3 but now after selecting Pulse Notification LED under Settings > Display It's working as expected.

Thanks to the developer for this great app :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Elluel:
If you don't allow Pulse Notification LED in settings it won't let the LED work regardless even with a 3rd party LED manager. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] dex willer:
First, tnx for great app and hard work, Light Manager works perfect after 4.4.3 but

I have a small problem,

in third part apps such as LINE, if i open the screen immidiately, led stops blinking as expected.

but if i open screen after a while (5-10 minutes) led never stops blinking. even if open the related app or disabling via Light Manager.

only way to stop it is wait for another notification light to override the stucked one. i preffer using the test option in the Light Manager.

Once test starts, 2 different led blinking simultanously stuck one and the test one, when i end the test, led stop blinking for two of them.

any possible solution to this?

by the way, i really like this app. tnx once more.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Midknyte:
First of all, I just want to say thanks for making this app. It's about as close as I've gotten to controlling the LEDs on my N5. I'd rather use Light Manager (LM) because it only controls the LED, unlike Lightflow which takes control of everything. I don't really want to flash a different ROM either.

Nexus 5 32GB with stock 4.4.2 (rooted), LM 6.1

I only use LM for missed calls, calendar, and sms (Textra).

I'm still having problems receiving the first notification after a reboot. If I get a calendar notification after a reboot, the LED doesn't light up at all.

I've tried normal and alternating modes. I've tried with and without the icon in the Notification bar. I've tried LM versions 5.9 to 6.1. I've uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, and rebooted again. None of these fix the problem with the first notification. The same thing happens with sms. Missed calls seem to work ok, though.

I've noticed that for the battery charging/charged LED to work, I have to set LM to alternating mode. LM works at first if the screen is off and I plug in the charger. Once the screen turns on (like if I want to check what % is charged), the charging LED goes off. Is there a way to get this to work in normal mode?

Lastly, can you add custom contact support for Textra and/or 8sms?

Thanks in advance. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] nolook:
would be nice to have support for tablet talk...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Ben36:
I can't change colour of Facebook messager on Android L

Seems to be stuck on green?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
How long did you wait after you have rebooted? Perhaps could you try waiting for like 5 minutes to ensure that Light Manager process has been started.

For battery status LED, LM will check it periodically but it could take some times. Perhaps once it goes off, could you wait for like 3-5 minutes see if the LED light up again?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Did you disable the LED light in Facebook messenger app itself? By the way, how's Light Manager runs on Android L?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Midknyte:
I definitely waited more than 5 minutes. When I first discovered the issue, it was at least a couple days after a reboot. My calendar notification activated, but the LED didn't come on. Like I mentioned, it works on the second time. Same thing happens with sms.

Ok. I'll give it a shot the next time I recharge. Thanks for responding. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I was tested it on Android 4.3. I will test it on 4.4 and see.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I have tested this on Android 4.4.4 (CM11), I managed to simulate your problem. I suspected that it is the calendar app that cannot turn on LED for the first time after device rebooted (Or in other words, it turn on then turn off the LED, somehow).

In CM11, calendar will generate its own LED with white color. I guess it should be the same on Nexus 5 as well. Could you try disabling Light Manager, then reboot your device and then generate a calendar reminder see if it manages to generate its own white color LED for the first time after reboot?

By the way, what app do you use to receive SMS? Hangouts?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Midknyte:
I disabled LM, rebooted and tried a calendar notification. The LED didn't light up. So you think it's the Calendar app that's the problem?

For SMS, I use Textra. I've also used 8sms. That's why I requested custom contact notifications for Textra and 8sms. 4.4 doesn't have a stock messaging app and I don't like Hangouts.

It looks like Textra will light up the LED the first time in Alternating mode, but not Normal mode.

Textra is from the same developers as ChompSMS, but the popup on Chomp turns on my screen and then doesn't turn off. :(

I'm not sure if this is a 4.4 Kitkat problem or a Nexus 5 problem. There is a thread on the Google forums about the "first notification".

I don't have enough posts to add the url. Just add https:// to the front. Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to test this. I hope you can figure out a solution. :D
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I think this is a bug from Android. Anyway I will test it on Android 4.4.3 and 4.4.2 and see. By looking at the logcat, I noticed that something is cancelling all notifications during the first notification.

Actually I have a solution for this but I'm just reluctant to fix bug due to another bug. I will investigate more on this issue.

Thanks for reporting the bug.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Midknyte:
Cool. Thanks for looking into that. That's probably what is happening to my sms notifications too.

I found that the calendar will flash really quickly on the first time after boot sometimes. It's not consistent and so fast that I can miss it.

If you have the time, please add custom contact notifications for Textra. It has contact notifications built-in like Chomp SMS, but they don't work when I use alternating mode. Not a deal breaker, but it would be nice to have. At least I can still have custom contact ringtones.

I've got my phone almost exactly how I want it. Just those little bugs. I really hope you can figure them out. Thanks again. :good:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] kelvin0502:
Just found that the LED notification of Whatsapp sometime keep flashing even I clean the notification and I need to reboot my N5 to stop the LED flashing.

I already disable the LED notification in setting of Whatsapp.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Puzzlegirl:
Personally, I think WhatsApp is an awkward app. I let it use its own notifications and disable it from Light Manager, though I use LM for everything else.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Midknyte:
Sorry, back again.

Just to clarify. If I set the Message and MMS settings in LM and use Textra, the LED will light up, but it doesn't cancel after I clear the notification. The LED will just keep flashing unless I restart LM.

Lightflow had a similar problem and they added a fix for the Nexus 5. I'm not sure what their code is, but the option is "Nexus 5 force LED reset"

If I add Textra as an app, then the LED works and stops after I clear the notification, but I can't use custom colors for contacts that way.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
From Android 4.4 onwards, Google had tightened the security for messaging so there might be a situation where the LED notification from messaging app could not get cancelled especially for those who is using 3rd party messaging app.

I have decided to add a dedicated Textra notification LED in Light Manager on next version with notification by contact. Please check back later when I release the next version.:good:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] swat4samp:

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Puzzlegirl:
Can't confirm, no. The LED works fine when charging wirelessly using Static LED, Option 2. I think it's something like it goes on for about 8 seconds and then off for 1 though I can't check it at the moment. Anyway, it works well on my N5.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Pretoriano80:

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BadFish79:
I just started using this app. Testing the free version right now but will buy if it works out for me over the next couple days.

Is there options for SMS and MMS specifically or is it grouped together in the messaging app? In my case hangouts.

So far I'm liking it. Thanks Dev for the great work.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
If you are using Hangouts, you need to disable "SMS" and "MMS" in Light Manager. Then enable Hangouts notification LED in Light Manager. SMS and MMS you received with Hangouts will be handled together with the setting you set in Light Manager > Hangouts.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] BadFish79:
Thanks for the reply. The app is working great so far and doesn't even show up on my battery stats.

I asked because I don't even see SMS and MMS option in your app. Not that it matters for me.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] octif:
Excuse me,i uninstalled the app because if you have multiple notifications at the same time, like whatsapp and facebook,its only blinks one color. Have you corrected that already?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
I think you are using Android 4.4 or above. Then you will not see SMS and MMS option in the app. There are hidden for not confusing the user.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
You can change the operating mode from normal mode (default) to alternating mode. In alternating mode, LED light will blink alternately if you received multiple notifications. This feature has existed long time ago already.

Cool app.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Enhanced:
I'm on Lollipop. I've set it to option 2 as well and it doesn't work. I've used Light Manager since the first dev preview and could never get the static option to work. I've tried everything.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] arifqur:
In Android lollipop if you set the ringer to priority or silent, the LED also stops showing notifications.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] gpvecchi:
Nothing, guys... Doesn't work for me, not even with message app and battery/charge light...
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
Besides setting the static LED to option 2, remember to set the flash rate to 'none' as well.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Enhanced:
Still doesn't work. What should "LED Turn On Time" be set to?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] sietze535:
It works fine for me with whatsapp and hangouts on all Android kitkat versions
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
By default, it is set to 0.5 second. But this shouldn't affect the static LED. Perhaps you can try if "Option 3" of static LED works?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Enhanced:
I fixed it. Thanks. It was some other issue.

Another question: is there a reason why your app doesn't work with Inbox?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
You mean the new app called "Inbox by Gmail"? Perhaps you can try click on "Add an application" to add this app into notification list of Light Manager for now.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Enhanced:
Yeah Inbox by Gmail. I tried adding it through this method and it doesn't seem to work at all. If an invitation to the app would help you fix compatibility, let me know.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] arifqur:
I wanted to set notification for the new messenger app in lollipop but it does not show up in the list of apps
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] mckoo:
