When my phone screen is off, most of the time a solid amber/yellow LED is illuminated, and disappears when I turn it off. Does anyone know what this means. I have no alerts or nothing, battery is doing good.
Also, I read in a review that it is possible to change the color of the LED lights. Is this a 3rd party app or built somewhere into the S3?

I do not know about your LED being on for no reason, but Light Flow *should* let you change the color of your LED.
Solid red is the stick color for charging or low battery when locked

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.
it's randomly light up the yellowish when i'm using my phone, i wanted to customized and turn off the LED, and use it just in notifications
Here Try it I'm using. Buy full ver if you want
Light Flow is very good! But I didn't use my long!I think it's very be
Whenever I turn off my Galaxy SIII in to stand-by mode, my LED light indicator stays on, and is a brighter white color, with some green and red, instead of the normal blue flash that it gives for notifications. It doesn't blink, it just stays on constantly. It only does this when there are notifications.
Anyone else having this issue?
You just answered your own question. If you have notifications, the notification LED will be on to tell you about it when the screen is off. Remove the notifications and the light will turn off. Alternatively, use Lightflow to get better control of the notification LED.
I am aware that the LED light comes on for notifications, however, it seems as though the LED light is glitches for this one situation. I have narrowed it down to Google+ as the reason for when it does this constant white light. It doesn't go off, the LED just stays white. I will just have to disable notifications for Google+. Thanks for your help!
light flow is verry good, i love it
try it out and cancel the notification if its annoying you
I'm with AT&T, my GS3 only show red led when it's in standby mode, most of the time it's red LED. I've never seen blue/white led show on it except during boot up I think blue or white lid up. What's red led mean? White/blue mean? Thx
Also the charging light is orange or red? But it doesn't seem to change to green when it's fully charge! I'll try again tonight to confirm! Only thing I did is root it with supersu cwm only everything stock! Is there something wrong?

hey i'm having the same issue. i have a verizon version and have turned off all led notifications inside the menu options (charging, low battery and missed notificaitons). i also tried clearing all notifications, rebooting phone, etc and this behavior still happens.
as for using the lightflash program, that's not really an option for the us phones as there is a bug in the app with the us versions of the phone.

i was able to fix my issue with a factory reset, but i haven't fully reinstalled all my apps. i am basically not reinstalling any apps that have to ability to prevent my phone from sleeping and have ability to control notificaitons. i have narrowed it down to 5 apps that may be causing this issue and slowly add each one back to see which one is the culprit.
I'm trying to figure out the stock behaviour of the LED's on the Xperia U under ICS and I'm wondering if some good samaritan(s) can help me out?
At present I have just one request but in future I may have some more -- they're all very quick though.
So, first up. When your phone is charging (either via USB or mains) what does the power LED do (i.e. what colour and is it solid or blinking, if blinking, fast or slow) when:
You have less than 90% charge
You have more than 95% charge
Then for either of the above two scenarios, what happens to both the power LED and the LED bar when you go in to the gallery and view a photo?
Thanks in advance if you can help!

1)When charge is more thatn 90-91% the power led is green.
2)When i use the gallery, the led bar becomes green, red, etc; Led bar becomes green for example when i take a picture like grace, blue with sea etc.

What does the power LED do (when plugged in) when you're using the gallery -- does it still stay green/red?
Thanks

Yes. Stays red or green.
I have looked up down left and right and I have come to the conclusion that it might not be possible. But when we turn our phone on or off, the notification flashes blue then green before it flashes off. I was curious if anyone knows if it possible to apply that to notifications such as messages and what not. I have tried every light control app I could find and both I could find for xposed. Thanks for any help or info!
