z2 battery charging notification light

badboy007 — Fri, 30 May 2014 10:11:40 GMT

Is there anyway to turn of the battery charge light (RED,AMBER,GREEN) it's a nightmare at night!! It's lighting up the whole room!! Surely u can turn this off, it should have a option in the night mode setting. If not I'm gonna have to use some black electrical tape to cover it up lol.

I do not think you can do that without rooting.

Yeah had the same problem. Sadly that cannot be turned off, I hope they will enable option for that in next update.

For now I just put the phone with screen down and with top edge turned in other direction than me. Does the job, can sleep again

why don't you turn it face down? that way the light won't lit up the whole room

I use the charging led app and change the colour to constant red and make it blink but put the blink rate as high as possible and the length of time it's on as low as possible but not on 0 otherwise it stays on

This way you get a little blink that you can't even see

Hey thanks stuff_m it's not a fix but is a lot better, using "charging led" app works. after tweaking the settings u can change the colour and set it to do a short flash once every say 15 seconds👍👍 like I said no fix but better. Tip- if using the app make sure notification light in settings is turned on and the app will only work once the phone is turned off and charging 👍 Ps - I use a dock station so not as east to turn phone face down :'( thanks all

Perhaps I'm missing something, but this doesn't work for me. I get the (desired) red blip and then the constant red/green light comes on again.Any ideas?

Get the paid version of Lightflow. I've got it set so that my chargin light is a less harsh orange, more like a soft yellow, and the LED brightness set at 10%. You can still see that it's charging, but it doesn't light up the room like the standard one does. Same with the fully charged light, instead of it being bright and starting at 90% (Which is really stupid), I have it set again at 10% LED brightness and have set the charged threshold to 99%, so it only goes green when it hits.

Really cool app and definitely worth it for the Z2.

So the charging led app will only work once phone is turned off and charging. settings I have on is (led blink rate on 1ms)
(Led off blink rake 30000)
So it does a quick blink and then off for around 12 seconds. U can change the colour to something dark so when it blinks it's not bright hope this helps
