Current Verizon options are Lumia 928, HTC One M8 or HTC 8x. May have to exchange for Android, unless suggestions?
It IS a hardware-related function since if the phone does not have LED notification lights in the first place you wouldn't see such notification lights. For example, the Nokia (now Lumia) phones do not have LED notification lights, not even for charging, so we can't expect to see that function in those phones. But for the HTC One M8, you may have to check it out yourself since HTC phones, in general, have notification LED lights. I have seen an HTC One with notification lights, but that's for Android - not sure if these lights are still present in the Windows Phone version.
