I'm coming from a BB world. Is there a way to specify a certain led for a certain type of call/msg. example...green for missed calls, yellow for mms, orange for yahoo, purple for gmail, etc?
TIA

I just noticed we don't have a light for notifications. We should so I'm not sure what is going on.

There is 1 notification light that i know off... The original 4g had 2 lights which was nice. The only phones I've seen like that though are bberries - I'm guessing rim does it due to phones being silenced during meetings etc but still being able too get good clear notifications. I wish they had better though on the 3d

Does anyone know of an app that lets you change the color of the notification lights for specific kinds of messages, wether it be for an email or text or whatnot. There is a app called blink....but it doesnt work on my phone.

I want to say that those don't work for our phone. Can't change the LED for GoSMS either.
I think the Rezound only does two colors which are amber and green
sent from my sexy HTC Rezound. Bata ba ba bum, Im loving it.
bummer, thanks tho
You could check out Light Flow, it allows you to change the color for different notifications. It'll list the available colors you can change, but if the Rezound is anything like the Incredible, you only get three colors, which are green, orange, and deep orange.
Someone recently posted the led control code is wrong in the phone, and it sure shows. In any app other than stock ones, the led color is wrong and it stays solid instead of blinking. Really getting annoying.
why is it wrong? it works fine with stock maybe its just different because its a full spectrum led?

Its sorta true. I mean my GO SMS PRO just stays solid tricolor! I don't mind it really at the moment. When light flow is fix I will prolly play around with that.
I don't think its wrong or broken...its a new phone, new API.
I think applications just aren't coded to make the proper calls to make this work properly.
Ever see updates from the Play store that says "Now working on Motorola Droid 3" etc...?
My guess is we just have to wait for something like that for our phones.
In the mean time, I do agree that it is annoying that our LEDs won't blink properly, or that my notification light has to be yellow, or purple for text messages, haha.
Mine is not even working at all when I receive a notification or text <_<. It only turns on when I'm charging the phone

Go to Settings - LED indicator and check "Missed event"
So let's just forget about 3rd party apps for a sec, I'm sure they'll update eventually (Handcent SMS, FB etc... would be nice to pic the color and blink for each).
What about stock apps and functionality, am I correct in assuming that even using the stock SMS, email, and phone apps that you cannot customize the LED color or have it blink?

You can use 3rd party apps, like go sms to change the color, but its broken. I have a thread floating here that lists what color you 'choose' and what color is actually shown on the device.

GoSMS notifications are definitely solid. I just keep emailing them and asking them to update for the U.S. versions of the GS3.
LED notifications are fine on the International version.
When I receive a text through Google voice my notification light is a solid purple-ish color. Anyone else text through Google voice and have the same notification? I thought it was just weird that it doesn't flash like all the other notifications. It's stock gs3 btw.

To be honest I don't even look at the notification colors.. they are kinda pretty but I always have my phone with me so I check right when I hear the sound.
It seems that non stock apps are having issues with the notification lights.
my wife and i use GV for text.
ours both have the same Pulple/Hotpink color for the notification light.
wish it was blue....
Thanks for the replies! It's not the color that's bothering me. It's just the fact that it stays solid and doesn't flash!

I thought it was only me. I get the same thing on my s3 as well. It just stay solid purple for my GV notification. Im just worried that it might burn out the led on my phone
Your not the only one. Turns out that most 3rd party apps that use the notification led are messed up on the US versions of the s3. Guess the firmware for the led on the US s3 was a little different then usual. If you are worried about it just turn off the text notification for voice and check your phone more often lol. I'm not too worried about mine but that's because I don't use voice for texting very much and when I do I check it constantly.
I just bought light flow once I heard its been updated for Jelly Bean. I'm running CM10 on my GS III and set up all my notifications. However even when I don't have any notifications my phone shows this dim green light. I've checked all my settings in light flow and have no idea whats causing this. Any ideas?

From the developers website...
" As many will probably know the hardware in the US S3 is different. Dual code compared to Quad and some variants with LTE.
Not only is the processor and radio hardware different but controlling of the LEDs is also different. At the moment the US S3 seems to have its color matrix mixed up, so issuing a code of Red will come out a totally different color. Putting out the color black (which we use when there's no notifications) causes the phone to display green."

Me too. When I saw it was updated, I was hoping it would work with the S3 but no dice. Most of the lights I set up would not work at all. And none of them would flash, just stay on constantly.
Although initially i was happy to know sg3 come with notification led, not anymore. There is something non standard about led notification in US phones which is making it not play nicely with many third party apps including light flow. It properly works only with stock dialer, stock email and messaging. Couldn't get it to work properly with k9 mail, google voice, good messaging, facebook app or anything else i use!

In CM10 you can change the led color without a 3rd party app, go to Settings > Display > Notification light > and you will see default where you can pick you LED color.
The developer of that app has an AT&T GSIII on the way to him he purchased to resolve this problem. It shouldn't be long.
Does anyone know if down the road we will have more control over either of the lights?
I tried using light flow and it doesn't seem to work very well. I don't expect more color options but if I could just get the front light to stay solid rather than flash I'd be very happy.
Anyone have any ideas?

I don't see why they don't just give us three LEDs for full rainbow options. My old Blackberry did. Facebook notification could be blue, green for texts, red for gmail, etc. I would look for additional apps that control the LED and maybe you'll find something that works. I don't have any sugggestions unfortunately.
