A blinking green light on a Motorola Razr is a flash notification that alerts you to incoming calls, messages, and alarms. This feature is documented by Motorola as a standard notification light on supported Razr models, including the razr 2024, razr 2025, razr 2026, razr 50 ultra, and razr 60 ultra.
What a blinking green light on a Motorola Razr means
On supported Motorola Razr models, a blinking green light is a flash notification. It is a visual alert that activates when you receive incoming notifications, calls, or alarms. The phone can flash the camera light, the screen, or both for these alerts. The pages do not list a limit on how long the light flashes, and they do not give any carrier-specific variant for this feature. Motorola’s pages only document the Motorola Razr paths above; they do not provide iPhone steps for this issue.
How to turn off the blinking green camera light
To stop the camera light from blinking, you need to disable the Camera flash toggle in your settings.
- Open the Settings app on your Motorola Razr.
- Tap Notifications.
- Select Flash notifications.
- Turn off the Camera flash toggle.
Once this toggle is disabled, the green camera light will no longer flash for incoming alerts.
How to change the screen flash color
You can change the color of the screen flash, but you cannot change the color of the camera light. Motorola states that the camera light color is fixed. Motorola says the camera light color cannot be changed.
- Go to Settings > Notifications > Flash notifications.
- Tap Screen flash.
- Select a color from the available options.
- Tap Preview or Done to save your selection.
Why the light stops blinking with Do Not Disturb
Do Not Disturb mode prevents flash notifications from activating. When Do Not Disturb is enabled, the camera light and screen flash will stay dark and will not flash for any alerts. You can check if Do Not Disturb is on by looking at the status bar on your phone. If it is enabled, the lights will not flash until you turn Do Not Disturb off.
