Notification light - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all!
Im currently using Lollipop 5.0 and I have some questions regarding the notification light...
Has anyone been able to light up the notification light while charging?
Also, when i receive whatsapps or an email, the light will only blink once and then turn off permanently.... am I the only one with these problems or did it change with 5.0?
Thanks for the answers and sorry for my bad English.
PD: I posted here and not in Question category since Im also concerned on the notification behavior and not only fixing whatsapp

Btw only Roms I've noticed that has it working is unofficial cm12 and liquid lollipop

My notification light doesn't come on at all for any notifications and it's definitely set to 'Pulse notification light' under the sound and notification menu.

This should help solve your problem. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koo.lightmanager

Ledblinker is better in my opinion and the dev has an N5 on 5.0

Download the factory image of Lollipop 5.01 and then Perform hard factory reset.
This particular bug has been fixed in 5.01 and I hope that works.
If you are not aware how to perform the factory image then visit the link below..

Dude why do you keep responding to threads from November last year? Need to bump your post count or something? It's most annoying

Phone vibrates only once on incoming call (Android L)

Hello,
Anyone else experienced this?
When receiving a call, my phone only vibrates once. Ringtone is still there. I'm using LG's QuickCover for Nexus 5.
Is there a way to solve this?
Same here. It's horrible because the phone only vibrates one...
NEXUS % - ANDROID L
I have quick cover too. I was trying call without this cover and vibrate was working. When I closed the phone, vibrate worked as you described...
So it's a bug with the OFFICIAL cover?! I have receiver OTA yesterday and i discover that bug, the battery drains quickly and the lockscreen created by user preferences just disappeared as the silent mode... Common Google what is this?! Please fix that!
Yes, official cover.. Its a pity.. I really do miss a lot of calls because of that bug..

I hope Google fix that mess...
Same thing here, but for me it only occurs sometimes.
Noticed it the first time today after flashing the factory image from release day.
Also with the quick cover...
Same problem for me
I'm having the same problem with my Nexus 5 w/quick cover. With the cover on, my phone will only vibrate once for incoming calls when set to vibrate. If I remove the cover the phone will continue to vibrate when receiving an incoming call. GOOGLE, PLEASE FIX THIS BUG.!

[Q] Proximity & Light Sensor Not Working In 5.0 Factory Update

Hey Everyone,
I have installed factory image of 5.0 on my Nexus & since then I am facing the issue. My screen doesn't go off during calls & light sensor is also not working; Auto Brightness is also not working. I tried pulling back to 4.4 through which I made sure my hardware is working fine. It wasn't working in 5.0 Lollipop.
Has anybody else faced the same issue & does anyone know how to fix it?
Have attached the screenshot from CPU-Z.

[Q] Lollipop : No LED while charging ?

Apologies if this has been asked before, but search did not bring up anything usefull :
Since I upgraded my N5 from KitKat (Purity) to Lollipop (Cataclysm) the notification LED no longer lights up while the phone is charging (neither by cable nor wireless). The LED however works correctly for notifications (Email & SMS).
I also tried installing & configuring Light Flow, but still no LED while charging.
Is this a known L bug ? Any workaround ?
No stock build for the nexus 5 has ever had charging led

Android Nougat Lights

Hey guys,
since upgrading to an Android Nougat custom firmware for my Nexus 5 (PureNexus) the behavior of notification lights changed (previously Android 6).
If I get a new message while the display is locked the lights start blinking. Now if I look onto the preview of the message, even extend it, and turn the display back off the lights start blinking again. (Happens on all apps, whatsapp, mails etc.) Pretty sure the lights didn't blink on Android 6.
Is this normal for Android 7 or is this a behaviour of my CFW? (The guys in the thread of the FW didn't answer and don't know anybody with an Android 7 phone).
Would anybody know a solution, didn't find anything in the settings.
Thanks.
Bump.
Bump.

Led notification issue on pixel
I am facing the led notification issue on my pixel after updated to Oreo. Could you guys please help me out? Is there any solution for this?
My fix was just rebooting a phone ?
I got my notification LED working by disabling ambient display. However I still need an app to get it to work. Hope that this helps.
