Hi, I'm running neutrino rom and I'm trying to find a way for the notification LED to blink even if the screen is on. How can I accomplish this? I've tried lightflow but the LED still only blinks when the screen is off.
I would like this function, since if I have my phone in the dock and the screen has gone to screensaver mode I can't look in the satusbar to see if I have a notification. And since the LED only blinks if the screen is off I have to touch the screen to check and I find that silly to have to do. Sometimes I forget and then hours later I find out a have had missed calls and texts.

I believe our phone is one of those that doesn't blink led with screen on. I know lightflow warns of this as does my handcent. Don't think its possible unless someone else proves me wrong.
that's strange. if I mess with the LED notifaction settings under Cyanogenmod setting I can test the LED notification while the screen is on. Somehow it must be possible.

Is that cm7 or 9? I noticed in 7 the settings just aren't there (for me anyway) to use led for anything other than system default. With 9 I noticed led functions totally different like the charging led working (love that!) So maybe its rom dependent.
I'm running Neutrino CM7. the LED notifcationsettigns are definetly there. maybe it is rom dependant. Does the LED work for you if the screen in on running CM9?

I honestly haven't had a chance to test that with cm9. I load the rom and test the things that I use most in order, wifi, camera. I don't get passed the camera issue on most. That's a bug I can't live with since I take tons of pics. I will try to remember to test it out next time I flash. Im on rc1 of 7 now getting ready to update to rc2, maybe there will be something there. Where did you find the settings for it in neutrino?
Just upgraded to cm7.2 rc2 and found the screen on led setting. Works great for me. Just wish I could get a charging solid led that goes off at 100% I got spoiled from my flipside I guess but its just so much nicer to not have to turn the screen on to verify full charge. Lightflow didn't work for me.

Just wondering on this, cos ive read on there that some people got theres working others not. Me i cannot get the LED to work with either handcent on k-9! Anyone? Any work arounds? Same problems? Would be interesting to know. I've flashed several times now and still nothing. x
My LED notifications work but only when the screen is off.
I have handcent set to wake up the screen when a message is received, as soon as the screen turns off the led starts flashing to tell me I've got an unread message.
When I set it not to turn on the screen the led lights up on receiving a message straight away.
I guess this is the way SE intended or the way 2.1 is meant to run...
Yer so someone said. but mines really not working lol. x
LED notifications work fine when the screen's off, this is how it's supposed to be
With K-9 works fine,includind the colors for each email account.
The LED not working for me too .. I even tried to test the LED in the Handcent and no LED was blinking
Any ideas XDAs ?
As far as I tested, notifications are working fine. But I never noticed LED was working only when screen off
I cant figure out why my phone keeps blinking its notification light. Any one have an idea why?
Most likely a rogue app acting up.
ok thanks for the response
If I may add to this topic without creating a new one, how come my blinking light for notifications will stop after about a minute or so? I recieved some texts but didn't know it until I manually turned my screen on. So I sent myself an email, and it blinked for a minute or so, then stopped. Is this normal?
i actually think that is suppose to happen. Ever htc phone i have had has a certain duration of the notification light blinking and then it will turn off. the only phone i have ever had it go on until i checked the notification is my old droid. i was apply to on the galaxy nexus, but had to use an app to make it work. Light flow is the app

It's actually 5 minutes I think, at least on my phone it is. It is my biggest complaint with Sense and why I switched to cyanogenmod on my evo shift. It would be the one reason I would switch to the GS3 if I had to think of a reason since there are nice solutions that use an amoled screen for notifications that will not time out like that. (an app called noLed, doesn't work well unless you use amoled))
Anyway, it must be coded real deep because I've never seen a dev fix it or even hardly mention it and people have complained about it for years.
It really makes the notification light kind of worthless.
There are some apps like light flow that in theory can fix it but lightflow doesn't work for me when my sound is turned on with this phone so it's worthless right now. Missed reminder might be able to help as well but I haven't had a chance to try it.
Unrelated, but does anyone know how to disable the bright green light when battery is charged? lol
So I am running Shrike's PAC JB Rom (non ION) and i am S-On. Ever since I switched to all these JB roms, whenever i get a notification like from a text or email, the little LED light stays on, instead of flashing periodically every 4 seconds or so like it did before. Is there a way to switch back so that it blinks periodically? It probably only saves a little bit of battery but I still want to switch back...
Could be wrong, but I do believe that there is a notification light setting you have to toy with.

yeah there is. The reason it stays on is because it is auto defined as white (because a lot of phones have white lights) so you have to play with it and pick the right green for it to work properly
Length- normal
Speed- very fast
Those settings have worked for me. Flashes amber, can't seem to get it to flash green.

I've been using PA ROM for Galaxy S3 i9300 for a while now. So far didn't have any major problem except rare auto-restarts. But now I'm facing an issue with LED notifications. While the screen is off for any new notifications at the time of arrival the LED flashes once and that's it, then no pulsing. The notification settings are intact. What could be the problem?
Device GT-i9300
ROM: PA 4.45 for S3 STABLE
Same Here
I9300 with PA 4.45 (STABLE)
LEDs don't work 95% of the time. At first I thought either K9 Mail was a problem or a Gravity Box conflict. I did a second clean install (did not reinstall Gravity Box) but get same results. Regardless of which app. K9 Mail, Whatsapp, etc. Led flashes for a split second and that's it. Sometimes if I turn the display on and off it will start to blink.
Also did a test with Tasker>LED Notify, same results, flashes for a split second. After screen on and off blinks as it should.
Solutions or suggestions would be appreciated

Exactly same problem here. Any notifications like for missed call will work here because the screen is on when the the call is received and the screen goes off, then the led works perfectly fine. Tried also turning of the screen exactly when a generic notification is incoming. After screen off the led blinks as set. The problem is only when receiving something screen off. I don't know how android handles notifications, If known I can find the correct source of the problem.

I assume you meant screen ON. Actually I did a Tasker event for received notification with a Secure Settings tas of "wake device for 1 second". However a) it did not help the LED that way and b) it did not go off after a second.
I will be trying Light Manager as described here . Will advise if it helps but need to get back to work. Been spending too much time on this the last few days!

UPDATE: AcDisplay is working very nicely for me. LEDs work fine and its a neat app too!
(Miatoll board, curtana device. Talking about that little led in the speaker above the camera.)
Does the LED notification light not work?
Mine only ever shows when the phone is plugged in. I can't get it to flash when I have notifications, even though all settings in Android settings seem to be turned on
bump
same here but i have the uk phone version.. like you say only when charging. ?

Go to additional settings -> notification light then check the blink light option.

did all that and made sure each app i want to notify had led notification...still no blink
Same here. No blink, all settings on
i got someone to message me while in the same room, screen popped up message etc, waited for screen to go into standy... still no blinking light.
Yeah I've done exactly the same test. Doesn't work
rom version is 11.0.6.0 could it be that..? no updates available when i checked today..or a faulty phone, does work when it's charging.
anyone have any joy yet, getting led to work
Not trying to self-promote but there appears to be many threads on this problem so I created a new thread so people can find a possible fix easier.
