I checked the user manual and it did not cover what the playstation light means. I gathered that orange means actively charging, but sometimes it will slowly pulsate blue. I have seen it stay solid blue for minutes, and usually late at night I have seen it frantically flash blue for about 30 seconds.
Anyone know where I can find out what its trying to communicate to me?

A steady blink means you got a message like someone is online. Steady blue (not blinking) means it is charging while on. The quick blinks and then nothing I believe means it is going into sleep mode or low power mode.
Isn't it orange when it's charging?
Mine is solid orange right now. I had Disgaea 3 open while on the charger and it was solid blue until I exited it. I guess orange is "deep sleep" and solid blue is "charging but awake"? Why that distinction is necessary is far beyond me.
Mine is orange when I charge it while the vita is off
I think the low power thing might be true. Whenever its blinking like that I can't turn the screen on.
I didnt mean the battery was low. I meant its the same as when you press the button on the top left of the vita
i didnt mean the battery was low either lol
Solid blue: Plugged in
Flashing blue: Standby mode
Slow blue flash: Unread message or information
Solid orange: Charging, but powered off
Flashing orange: Battery is going to call it quits soon
Flashing blue: Standby mode
OH GOD WHY?!
LOL. No battery for u!
Yeah that too, I rarely turn off my vita, but I'm trying to always have flight mode on when leaving it cold for couple days.
slowly flashing while on means you have notifications
Here is a link the info on Sony's support website. But they mean:
Blue = on
Blue Flashing = notification
Orange = charging
Orange Flashing = battery to low to turn on
you can change what makes it blink somewhere in the settings too
Also late at night (around 5:30AM for me), if your PS Vita is in standby mode, it will turn itself on to do a range of different things. Backup game saves if you have PS Plus and enabled online storage, sync trophies, download updates and any games that you might have waiting to be downloaded in your download queue.

Solid orange: Charging with a powerful enough charger. (you can charge using any random USB port but sometimes it won't turn orange but still charge)
Slow Pulsing Blue: You have System notifications or messages.
Short flickering blue then off: System is running some short background task. Usually it is running location services for Near( getting all the WiFi ssid's around so it can know where it is). The short blue flickers happen at least once an hour.
blue -orcs are near.
Glowing means they're coming.
Blinking just means that orc is teasing you with Sting's range of detection.
"I'm near (hops back) I'm gone, (hops in) I'm near, (hops back) I'm gone...."
Shenanigans.

I was told it meant Sea-bears were attacking, I had my circle and everything.
