I had been stuffing around with different led apps to get it to do what I wanted. In the end I decided that things weren't how I wanted so I turned the led's off and removed all apps that managed the leds. They behaved like yours, flashing regardless of the setting being off. turning them on, then off made no difference.
In the end I just went back to lighflow with accessibility turned on - I had to remove any folders from my homescreens as the talkback kills me, but otherwise they do what I want and don't flash during the night.
But yeah, they ended up like yours and I couldn't stop it. I would guess a reset would fix it (I'm tired of reseting phones/tablets so didn't want to do that again)

So when I had Eclipse, a blue led would come on for each text I received. It would not blink, it would just stay on.
I flashed cm7 and it has changed to a blinking led (after I had to turn the led notifications on). Is there any way to change it back to solid?

You could try looking a settings/CM settings/interface/LED notifications
If by chance you're using Handcent sms, you can set the LED pulse to an extremely slow speed. While it isnt solid it is the best you could do without changing things in Root Explorer; another thing you might want to look at as I am 90% sure the solution lies there.
Maybe ill play around in it and see what I can come up with
I have recently noticed that when I receive a notification, my green LED always stays on even after verifying the notification. The LED stays on until I either reboot, or hotboot. So, my question is what can I do to fix this, or at the very least, what file handles the phones LED control so that I can look it over to find the root of the problem?

BUMP. I realize this question has been answered before by means of LED Apps like BLINK. What I am inquiring about is what system file handles LED control, so I may alter it directly. What files does Apps like BLINK utilize, because I figured if I used one of these Apps to alter LED color that it would reset the control mechanism. Needless to say, if I receive a notification while my phone is not asleep, I have to do a hot boot to get it to turn off.

So I am wondering if there is a way to turn off the LED lights within Tasker? I have a night profile where it turns down all the sounds, vibrations, etc etc but noticed last night that the LED light was flashing for some emails I had come in. I had a look in the tasker settings but I couldn't see any that would disable the LED?
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?
OK, I shall keep up this conversation with myself (the voices in my head make me feel like it's a normal conversation with others though ). I found the setting in tasker to turn off the led - it's in the audio section and it's called 'notification pulse'. In my night profile I have now set that to 'off' but it made no difference and any emails during the night had the led flashing
You can use Light Flow to disable notifications at a certain time, plus you can do a lot of customisation.
You need root.

I reckon, you don't need root w light flow, but other than that bortak is absolutely right. Light flow does all that and perfectly.
Yes, you are totally right. I have installed and uninstalled lightflow a few times already. While it does do that for me, it's just not quite working right. I kept on having a notification light flashing after dismissing or viewing a notification. It just wouldn't stop flashing. That was bugging me more than the extra features I got out of the app, so I've removed it again.

this is because you havemt set the "clear notification style" parameter. set it to 'screen on'. so that once you wake up the screen al notifications are cleared and u wont see that blink again. Normally it is set to 'app entered', where you have to go to the app (or the phone and click on the missed call etc). set it to what I told to all your notifications.
Thanks. I'll take another look at that. I thought I had it set that way but wouldn't be surprised to see I was wrong. I do think that I'd tried entering the app as well when it wouldn't clear, and still wouldn't.
Hi!
Im searching nearly same. Im looking for a solution to switch off and switch on this notofication Led like i want by a tasker or by a widget 1 click.
I dont really like the app light flow.
Tasker is audio>notification pulse

Thanks rootSU. I had found that, but it doesn't seem to be working on the S3. I found the tasker google group and some similar problems exist there. One is having the same problem as me, and another I think is trying to turn the led on but it's not working; all S3's. Maybe tasker isn't optomised for this on the s3 yet?
I've found lightflow to be hit or miss. Sometimes the led keeps flashing even when the notification is dismissed (have checked my settings, even tried different ones), and the day before flashing for sms's stopped working. Even a reboot didn't fix it. So, I lived without the led's on my S1 and I'll do the same here. I had them on last night and kept waking to a notification of some kind and found that too annoying.
Thanks for the help and suggestions guys. Appreciate it.
Just a widget 1 click to switch would be perfect for me.

I think it works for me but not entirely. That ecpksind why the missus woke me up the other night to complain about the led. Hope it's fixed soon.
Once fixed Fred, you can create a widget in tasker

Don't suppose anyone's come up with any more ideas about this? I have emailed the tasker developers and I don't think they were 100% sure, but didn't think the notification pulse setting was for disabling the led's completely. I still try playing with lightflow every now and then, but the little bugs I have (mostly sms notification led not dismissing without reboot or entering lf app (only thing that works is having manual dismissal but it's a pain)) are still present for me. I also tried it with handcent but was getting no led notifications.
Hey guys,
I figured out a fix for the Verizon Galaxy S3. I know there are differences between the way the international version and US versions handle the notification light, but it might at least give you guys a starting point. You do need root.

need help jellyverse rom v0.3 i get notified even after turning off the led in the settings it blinks blue not big of a deal but does seem to drain battery after a few hours
Has anyone found a way to do this yet? Notification Pulse doesn't work, at least on the SGS3. I have tried LightFlow in the past, I found it buggy and uninstalled it.
I've been using light manager to manager my led for a while now. Doesn't have the talkback issues I had with lightflow, and free.

Hey guys,

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.

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 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.

I am rooted.
Screen is not dimming, smart stay is off, and timeout has been changed between 15-30 seconds. Phone still does not autosleep. SmartStay is off, tried toggling it as well.
Any suggestions?
Reboot fixed it for me

Same here.
This happens every two days or so.
I'm just paranoid I will fall asleep without knowing about this and have a screen with burn in. Luckily, last night my battery was low and died so it shut off. Otherwise, i'd probably have a status bar burnt to the top of my screen.
I've found the smart stay feature to be flaky at best. I suggest people not use the feature and set a display timeout and adjust ones app settings. I know some ebook programs like to keep the screen on.

I had the same issue but since unlocking, wiping and moving to beans v2 it hasn't come back but we'll see if that lasts.

I'm assuming you are Korean based on your username... If you are playing any Kakaotalk games, including anipang, dragonflight.. so on.. kill that app after you are done playing. That will take care of it. I think that is the reason why reboot cures it.
