[Q] Wifi Indicator colour - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
The wifi indicator on my GS3 is grey. I have not put a sim card in my phone (dont have a microsim yet), and thus far have downloaded all my apps etc over wifi. But it still only shows grey?
Any idea why?

Stock colour why should it change unless you theme it .

Yeah it's not like stock ics where it turns blue if you are connected to google, it actually always is Grey

I come from an HTC desire - normal colour was green. When it was grey it meant the phone had no connection to googles services.

network status color change of bars/wifi?

My bars are always grey, I searched google for pictures of the gsiii and they all seem to be grey too.
All my other android phones switched to green or blue when the network was connected and grey only when I had no internet.
Is this normal on galaxy devices? Is there an app for that?
Thanks!

Normal for stock firmware.

Change LED Indicator colors

Hey guys,
I've searched XDA/google and tinkered with my S3 but cannot change the indicator lights colors. They default to blue for notifications. I remember being able to change the colors on my HTC G1 and was wondering if anyone knew how to do this on the Galaxy 3?
Thank you.
Theres an app for that
Check out lightflow (though there are still some bugs that need to be worked out for the SGS3)

Doesn't matter, this phone has issues with notification lights anyway.

Notification LED color ?

Anyone else think notification LED on alpha doesn't show proper color ?
(Red,Green,Blue work fine but if I use something like yellow color look like greenish yellow; purple become blueish)
My previous device (Galaxy S3) doesn't have that kind of problem.

I came from a Galaxy S3 aswell and yes, The LED colours on the alpha are a bit odd but it's nothing to worry about

Xperia U - wrong colors of illumination bar

Hi mates.
Its my 1st post on XDAforums and i wanna claim that my eng isnt perfect.
I flashed unofficial roms, so warranty is void now.
I have got annoying problem with illumination bar of my Xperia U. It shows wrong colors. I tried Unofficial JB4.1.2 UltraLite v7 rom and everything was fine. I was using LUC to set notifications of Illumination bar with sms.
Yesterday my problem has started. Illumination bar shows wrong color ,when i order whole bar to show white/silk ,center diode shows pink color. Right and left diode are fine, but center diode misses colors all the time.
Same happens when i pick other colors - when i pick blue ,center diode is purple ,when i pick yellow ,center is green.
I flashed stock 4.0.4 rom for Xperia u now, and problem still exists.
Do you know any solution?
I wish you can help me.
Cheers.

i'm also having the same problem but sometimes it goes back to normal(the center led is not illuminating with green color).
is it repairable by service center or is it just a software bug??

Simple way of checking for a software bug is to flash or restore stock ics and see if the problem persist its a hardware issue and if not then a software bug

Notification led

Is there any way to configure the color and duration of notification led? i try using light manager pro and light flow... but nothing happen i mean the test inside these apps works but when i receive some real notification are the one from stock. Green led and 3 seconds delay :crying:
im on MM
Afaik nope.
I use light flow and it works really good.

seems to work on Lollipop
I use different colors settings from apps like whatsapp, aquamail,... and it works really good. I have no problem with different timing and different colors. I observed sometimes that it changes color if I have notifications from different apps.

Also i have light flow...and it manages the notification well...but the colors are wrong...for example orange it's red, or gold it's also red...it seems that purple or pink don't work at all...can you confirm? Or have you some settings that probably i'm missing?

Yes that is same for me, but I only use white, blue, red, green and that color is working correct.
When I should use yellow it's be red, so I chose a light blue instead of yellow.
Maybe honor 7 doesn't support all color.

Thanks for the quick answer mate.. The honor has an rgb led then it should handle all colors.. Maybe the problem it's lightflow.. I'm curious to know if someone who rooted the phone has installed light flow and how it works
Inviato dal mio PLK-L01 utilizzando Tapatalk
I rooted my phone and tried the "root mode" in lightflow unfortunately nothing changes...
How to add notifications for facebook? twitter etc... I tried Light manager and it doesn't seem to work....
I have been testing which colours are supported by the Honor 7 with LED Tester and so far I managed to get these working:
- Yellow
- Orange (visible when charging but not reproduce-able with LED Tester)
- Green
- Baby Blue (Cyan)
- Dark Blue
- Pink (Magenta)
- Purple
- Red
- White
In Bluemail you can set a different LED colour for each account and green/red/cyan are working fine but for some reason all the yellows I pick turn out red or green. I've been testing with hex codes and it seems some hex codes get a different colour for some reason.
I wish we had an official list of what colours (hex codes) are supported by the LED. What would be even better if EMUI would get its own built-in LED manager with an option to set the blinking speed. I agree that 3 seconds is too long, especially since the LED is so deep in the grill and hard to spot.
Has anyone cracked this problem yet?
I came across one, a root app called led manager, as I recall it worked

Thanks a lot and now about how to change default white color of the background in apps, like SMS and all. It is a huge strain for eyes.
Any ideas?

I checked about theming and how to do it but again laziness, was wondering if there was a solution already available without me doing anything...
unfortunateli it is not easy to change the BG color.
As i know, sometimes it is possible to use dark themes to do that for you. But this only work if somebody have insert a color description for your app into this theme file!
Try this one -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/themes/theme-black-pyramid-emui-4-0-4-1-t3410407 to see how it work.
But in most cases, something other will get a wrong color.
You only can change colors using a special xml file in your app or in theme file (.hwt for Honor themes)
Please back to topic! Create a own tread for it if necessary!
