Comment on Are phone notification LEDs still a thing?

The notification led is one of the biggest things I miss. I glance at my phone from across the room and based on the color of the led, I knew what notification I had. Now I have to check my phone periodically to see if/what notifications have been received. Particularly annoying when my phone is charging somewhere.

Same. My Nexus 5x was the last device I had with this feature. Until then evvry device I owned had it, and I always tweaked it so color was unique to each app. Its a shame when something not useful to 100% of users is phased out with no alternative.

First thing I do when I get my phone is turn off the ‘always on’ display. I don’t care how efficient a dim screen can be, I hate having a screen on all the time. It’s so wasteful. The notification LED is sorely missed.

There is an app called aodnotify that can do that using the always on display option, but only displaying the notification light.
