I'm having this problem where my LED notification light is blinking blue which it does for text messages, but i don't have any unread text messages. Kind of annoying. I'm using chomp sms right now (i have handcent installed tho) and i'm running gingerblur. I have light flow installed, idk if this would affect anything.

ummm....lightflow directly controls the light now.....you should look at your settings, its probably set to blink when off battery now, via light flow
thanks, i messed around with some settings in light flow and now its not blinking when the screen is off anymore now haha.

Download light flow from market. I've tested it out and it works great. I've counted about 10 colors our led can do with slight variations of each. Blue, cyan, purple, pink, red, green, yellow, orange, white, gold, and a few others.

I was able to get the LED colors to work at first, then they decided to stop and start showing just green. Haven't rebooted to see if that fixes it, but it looks promising. BerryBuzz was one of the only apps I missed from my BB days. Haha.
Yeah I reluctantly chose to let this atrix replace my n1 and absolutely hated not having my colors. Now if we can only get individual people's text colors back we are in business

works well here.
does this draw more battery than the standard *always* green notification light?
i download currentwidget but it dont work so i dunno
i wish there's an app that will allow capture of notifications too. so we can assign lights to different apps simliar to how we can do it back on cyanogen roms.
meh, its not constant. seemed to be working at first, but now it only showing system default LED color settings for everything. then, yesterday it decided to work for the color i set for text messages received, was blinking a sky blue color. but even after i cleared the notification and looked at the message.....the dumb light was still blinking. i like the different color but i dont see the point if its not consistent
I see various colors on mine. So far I've seen green, blue, purple, and red.
It's a good start. I haven't had any issues, the blink rate isn't always 100% consistent but it works for me for now. I haven't noticed any extra battery drain for using this.
easiest way to get colors on your led for texts is to download chomp sms or handcent sms. you can long press any contact's conversation and change the LED for that person from that point on. 100% works all the time for me and chompsms.
if you want to change gmail led from the default green you can do that with an app called gmail notifier. just be sure to disable notifications of the actual Gmail app or else you'll duplicates. same goes for replacing messaging app for chomp or handcent
it would be sweet if the notification color would flash multiple colors, kinda like a bb trackball

This app allows that. It flashes them in succession. Ex, R=email Bl=missed call Gr=txt. so if I had a txt and an email it would flash in succession gr, r, gr, r, etc.
I like having the notification LED. I've customized it with Light Flow and it works great. The only issue is that the LED doesn't do anything when the screen is on. Is there any way to get the notification LED to work when the screen is on?
Might I ask why you need it on constantly? Is it just for looks?

Yes there is, and your half way there. In LightFlow, general settings, check compatibility mode, check run as root. The light will stay on now even when the screen is on. The trade off is you only have 3 colors now.
I don't want it on constantly. I just always want it to blink when I get an Call/SMS/email, even when the screen is on.
And thanks for the info, WiredPirate. I guess I can take away the Battery Charge colors so I just have SMS, Gmail, and Missed Call.
Okay, now I have a new issue. The Compatibility Mode Light Flow notifications work just how I want them to...until the phone is plugged in. When the phone is on the charger, the notification LED ignores Light Flow and reverts to the default notification colors (green for charging, white for missed call, cyan for SMS, and yellow for Gmail). Is there any way to get Light Flow to take over when the phone is plugged in? Or am I out of luck here?
And now I'm confused. So, disregarding Light Flow, the Atrix's notification LED only works when the phone is plugged in and charging? That's stupid.
Hello to all SGS 3 users...
Nice phone, fast, but battery is not good...
To the topic....
just a question that i post in omega SGS3 forum and i'm moving it to correct forum...
So is possible to change the sped rate of notification light(maybe 350ms)?
and is possible to make blinking red and blue light in fast way, so is easier to see ''
i would like to NOT use 3rd party apps...kernel support..

I don't know about blinking speed, but I have a connected question and perhaps you can help me. My LED is blinking either white, red, blue, green and I am not sure what every color means, I didn't manage to map notifications to certain LED color. I have facebook messenger, whatsapp, 2 email accounts, sms and don't know which color means what.
Also, is there a way to map a certain color to a certain notification?
thanks

Maybe are you using lightmanager.. some 3rd apps have more options, you can test it...

does anyone else have a pinkish facebook led notification?
at first it used to be red, but now it's pink, but you can still see a bit of blue underneath it.
any way i can change it to blue like the rest of my notifications?
thanks
btw, nothing is wrong with the led itself (i think). charging still shows red/green when full, and blue for texts/emails/other notifications
bump .

Grab Light Flow from the market.

Using stock messaging app. Blue led works because it's on during shut down and boot up. But it's not blinking like it's supposed to when there's an unread SMS. Help?
I have the same issue. the LED light works but doesn't blink when I receive new messages. The indicator is turned on in messages. The LED indicator is turned on in notification settings. I turned on notifications in WhatsApp because there were some saying that app was causing the problem. nothing has solved the issue. I took it into Target and had their iPhone/Droid tech try to figure it out, he did everything I already did with no luck obviously. Any suggestions? its an S9+.
