Is anyone else having issues with the notification icons changing from blue to white? Just randomly on its own.

Easy answer, if you are connected to the 3g or a wireless network it is blue, if you lose data signal it is white

I'm talking about the whole icon. It turns into the Froyo icons. Im not tlking about the animation.

When you say notification icons, do you mean notifications that pop up like email or are you talking about signal strength, Wi-Fi, etc? In gingerbread, those icons change color based on whether your phone has a connection to google. In the DX2 they turn blue from white when you are connected. If you were stock android they would turn green. Watch when you first boot up.
Well the signal and wifi was wat im tlkin bout.. Makes sense wat you're sayin tho bout connected to.google cause it jus does it on the initial animation.. ie wen going from no signal to signal. Thnx

Ive recently noticed that the network bars, next to the H+ logo change color from blue to white from time to time and then back again. Are these colors specific to anything, or mean anything?
Setup:
Kp gb beta 4
Root, sideload
Noattach batter notification mod

They turn white when data connection drops.

so what does it mean if the bars are blue (they are not always blue) and the box with the up/down arrows is white but you are transferring data?
Every explanation I have heard about the colors does not seem to cover all of it or to be correct. Is there a definitive source that covers both the color of the box and the bars?
I noticed this with the new market. My data dropped every time I started it. Bars turned white. Reboot, blue bars till I opened market, then lose data and bars turn white. Reverted to old market, problem solved.

blue bars to my knowledge has something to do with being connected to googles servers or something. i read it when someone asked the same thing about CM7 singnal bars turning green

I have to disagree. The I was able to browse and use data while driving white bars. The coincidentally I was underground in tor subway while driving those white bars.

There seems to be a lot of things going on with the colors. I have never used the new market app, so my colors have nothing to do with that. Well I install a gray theme so I have no colors at all now... Well maybe after the OTA is officially out we can find out what all the combination of colors of boxes and bars are.
gingerbread colors means the following:
green (or blue in this case) = connected to google's servers
white = not connected to google's servers
so just because the color is white does not mean you have no internet access, you may still be able to use data. it just means the connection to google services has been lost for some reason.

For some reason half of the time it is white, and the Market doesn't work. I have to turn on airplane mode then turn airplane mode back off to get the market to work again. I never had problems like this before the 2.3.4 upgrade.
I have read on this forum people talking about their 3g icon going green. I have had my vm optimus v for 5 days now and even when I am lucky enough to have 5 or 6 bars (seldom) I have never seen my 3g icon go green. The only thing I see is white and blinking arrows. Am I missing something...like a really good 3g signal.
Green means you're connected to google services

green usually means you are connected to Google's servers white means you are not. You may have a sync issue but other than that you are not missing anything as long as you still get your gmail and notifications.
Also you may not have a mod on your phone that differentiates between connected to Google or not. (may always be white.)
the people talking about their icons turning green are running gingerbread,you are probably running froyo. The icons show the status of the google talk service,if it can communicate with the google servers,it will be green,when the connection is dropped,the icons will be white. This was added in android 2.3,so if you are running the stock rom or anything else that is 2.2.x,then they will stay white (or whatever color your theme is)
<edit> I love how all 3 of us replied while I was typing</edit>
Thanks
Thanks to all for the info. My first android phone...I did sdcard cm7 my nook color though ... so I learned some things along the way. Maybe it doesn't turn green because I don't auto sync. I am running stock, only had the phone a couple of days.
Gingerbread only?
If you're using the stock ROM (2.2) the 3g icon and signal bars never turn green. correct me if i'm wrong but I think that is a Gingerbread only feature.
How do I get blue signal bars to show constantly in ICS.I always get gray bars and only get blue when turning data on and when turning on Wifi.
See my sig. for which ROM I use.

No there is a bug with it. It doesn't show bars at all until you refresh the screen (off/on) really quick

The topic starter asked about blue/gray signal bars.
Also, I am not aware of any bugs with the signal bars on ICS.
This is a bug or may be a default setting in MiniCm AOSP Lite...in this rom the signal bars are always blue irrespective whether you have a workinng data connection or not....However in FXP CM9 etc it works just fine.....
On some ROMs, I had the bars blue, when I had connected to Google services. Didn't have any other problem with that.
Hi, any easy way to disable the bright green light when plugged in?
Well I know that when you get a notification when its on, the light will go off after you dismiss the notification. You can always just send yourself a quick text. lol. But the light color is set by how the battery is. So if you are at 50 percent or so, once the light is off, it will come back on when it hits the next battery stage, if that makes sense. For example, at 50 percent, the light will be yellowish. At about 80, maybe, it will turn green. So when it decides to go to the next color, it will come on again. Just trying to give you an understanding of how the light works. lol.
There are apps that let you control the light. I have tried LEDs hack but it got my hard key lights stuck on with ICS. I think there is another one calls light flow or something like that that may help.
Sorry for the long response. lol
Thank you jsgraphicart,
I did not notice the changing colors. I'll try out the text thing.
-ry
Lighflow works great, dunno if it has any issues with CM9 though
I've used lightflow on Eclipse since 0.2 and never had a problem. I will look into this now and post results.
EDIT: It Kills it! Set up all your notifications the way you like, and make sure charging settings are controlled, but no notifications set!
Have you tried turning off the notification light under setting>display?

I like that charging light. Actually I love it. Is there a way to enable it in every rom?

I just came across that setting. That should work for when you want it off at night. But you need to turn it back on to get the LED to display for notifications again. I might use this at night now. Thanks.
So in Alpha 5, you have the option of turning off the notification during "quiet hours". Disable notification LED from 10pm to 5am or whatever.

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.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
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!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
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.
