N6 Color LED Notification Light?

[JefParker]

Anyone have any insight as to whether the N6 will have a color LED notification light? I use the one on the N5 all the time (or more accurately, Light Flow uses the one on my N5 all the time).

Moto X uses Active Notification unless it's changed in the 2014 model which would kinda be pointless since the purpose of AN is basically an LED

I use AN and LED on my N5 and they aren't even close to the same thing. The LED blinks a color at me at a certain speed when I've, say, been texted, called or emailed from someone I've preset (a relative who has health issues for example). The AN comes on too, but the AN goes out after a moment. The LED keeps blinking away. If I've wandered away from my phone for a few minutes and then return, I can see if there's something that needs my immediate attention, without thinking about needing to touch -- or even being within arm's reach of -- my phone.

I assume it will. Previous Nexus phones have had them, and unless the Nexus 6 has an AMOLED display to have the active notifications, I think it'll just have a notification LED again.

I really hope there's a multi colored led. Luckily every nexus (not sure about nexus s) has had one, so I'm hopeful.

I agree. I use Light Flow and that silly color LED has become indispensable. Does the Moto X the N6 is based on have a color LED?

 

[JefParker]

So, anybody know if the N6 has a color notification LED? Haven't seen it mentioned in any of the specs.

Hopefully it has a multicolor led. I use it all the time.

There's lots of custom solutions to using this type of notification, especially if you're rooted. I have a Galaxy S4, for example, and I use an app called AcDisplay to essentially do the same thing that Active Notifications does.

From what I understand, it does have AMOLED, but it is a Nexus so it run stock Android (Google softwares), so it won't have the Moto X stuff. It is a devoloper device as well so another reason why it will not have Moto X stuff.
