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 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.
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

All of the sudden my LED is going from blue to green and fading in and out. I don't have any alerts, tried rebooting, pulling the battery but can't get it to stop. Any ideas?

Well I have had an issue a couple times where my alarm never went off in the morning and I woke up late to find the LED flashing through the different colors, I had to reboot and that fixed it. Have you rooted or used Tasker or done any modifications to your phone?

If you simply do not want the light, you can just turn it off in two places
settings->display (scroll down to bottom) Notification Light off
settings->accessibility Notification Light off
However, you are probably asking how do you clear the notifications that are causing the light. settings->Accessibility click on the Notification LED text section (not the on/off switch) and see what you have set to be blue and green. Then run those individual apps and clear their notification status from within the app itself (varies depending upon the app)

Thanks for your help but the only thing that worked to resolve this was for me to flash back to stock and restart. I have no idea what was causing this to happen.
I made sure that the notification light is enabled, but for some reason i dont see any indication that i missed a call - maybe it has something todo that i use a non standard dialer app by default ?

Hi, I am also facing an issue of the same kind. I cannot see any other color of the LED except for red when the battery is low. After charging is completed, the green LED should be lit, but there is actually a very dim orange light that is noticed only in the dark. The same for the calls or other notifications. I don't even remember if going to recovery or fastboot mode will trigger the blue LED but nothing is displayed anyhow.
Does somebody have any idea how to restore the LED to "normal"? This has happened after I installed the X829 rom on my X820. Since that time, looks like no other color is present except red.
Any advice is welcome.
(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. ?

Same here. No blink, all settings on

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.
