Phone will make random sounds and I had no idea why lol. Like I just opened xda app and a Damn bell rang. Been using xda and hasn't done that before. No notifications or anything. Orange notification also comes on for no apparent reason. School me please and don't flame me lol....I'm new to ICS so.......

If you're using the new Google+ app on your phone, Google have recently changed how notifications show. The Notification LED will glow a redish-orange now (similar to the colour of the icon). I'm not sure if this could be it if there's no notifications visible though...

I love this app it was a must have for me on all of my phones but it seams like this version has a bad battery bug with either this version of gingerbread or just our phones, so downloaded it for later but I wouldn't use it just yet unless you want to be on a charger most of the day

Love the app too.
I've had it on every Android phone I've owned since the Samsung Moment.
However, after installing it on the Photon, I've noticed that it keeps on "de-activating" itself automatically if I don't have the notification icon box checked in the settings (To keep the notification bar clean, I try to keep notification warning settings off on most of my apps).
Is anyone else getting these spam adds showing up in there notification area saying things like you've won an Ipad and such. They show as a plus symbol when the status bar is in its regular position.
I want to find out how I cab prevent these spam notifications from occurring. Any suggestions?

I have them too. I think mine come from an ics theme I got for go locker. I love the theme so I deal with them, but they are very annoying. Sometimes porn ones too - not cool. If you find out anything let me know.

find the app that is causing them and uninstall. these background spam ads use up a bit of much need battery life =|
That's the hole purpose of this post. I don't know which app is causing this so I was hoping someone else does.

install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector and run it on your phone.it will show you which app is causing the adds.
I know 'easy uninstaller' by info life and 'mp3 download' with the red circle icon gave me spam on the notification bar.

Use rich250 suggestion, problem solved
Yes Thank you I got it fixed now.
My notifications started working like normal again. So I got my photon in August last year and the notifications worked good for about a month and after that only the green led notification worked. Now I'm back to green, blue and vibrate all working again woot!
Blue? I only ever got green and red

There is an app that lets you customize the different colors you want for whatever notification.
Lightflow is one.

Yep, Lightflow works great and lets you customize pretty much any notification / color.
I get blue from facebook notifications.

Quick question. Does anyone find that their led doesn't blink with non stock apps? Like I have gosms and the led lights up and stays lite instead of blinking same with like yahoo mail. I also notice if I use say lightflow and pick say "blue" for an led color the color will show up "red" no matter what color I select it will show up a different color on the led. I just find this weird.

I havn't had any issues with the Gmail app. But I do know that setting g custom LED settings in certain apps can sometimes make the LED act funny you may want to check settings in individual apps.

Uninstall Light Flow and you will be all set. It has some bugs with the S3 sadly. The dev knows about it and will fix it in the next update.

I have read that it is a known bug. Hopefully it gets fixed in the next OTA update.

glad I wasn't the only one and was able to check to see others are dealing with the same. I just got my verizon phone yesterday and it has been driving me bonkers tryingt o figure out why it wasn't working! I knew I wasn't that android ignorant!
Not sure if the latest light flow fixes this, but a brand, spanking new release is out!
anyone know why certain threads in stock SMS have the contacts name appear in blue rather than white? cant figure it out for the life of me.
also does everyone else sms start at the bottom (earliest) thread rather than the top. i have to scroll up every time i open the app.
Been wondering the same **** lol
I've noticed the same. Except which ones are blue seems to be totally random.
I figured it was a small unfortunate glitch.
maybe facebook contacts? i dont have this problem nor a facebook so, maybe thats why?

No it doesn't seem to be Facebook either. I have non Facebook and Facebook contacts in blue

Starred in Android? Favorites? Phone contacts?
its totally random and now that i think about it, i haven't seen a blue thread in days. I wonder if its coverage related?
Did anyone flash Mad Industries ICS Blue toggles from the VZW dev section? I thought thats what did it because I noticed this after I flashed that Mod. On my phone the 2nd, 3rd and 4th threads in my Messaging app have it but all others are regular. Then if I delete a thread and a different one moves into one of those positions that name becomes blue. I dont really mind it and if it is that Mod that did it I dont care even less cuz that ICS Blue toggle mod is the shiz!
The blue threads aren't the ones where the last text in the thread is yours?

It's texts you haven't responded to, or have a draft outstanding. Take a blue one and start a response, it goes to white. Delete your text good back to blue

yeah its definitely not the last one you responded to. that doesnt seem to make a difference for me. i did notice that over usage time everyone of my threads turned blue even days old messages with no activity that were previously white. then upon restart of the phone its back to a mix.
