Try lightflow, but i don't know if you can turn off all the notification
I use the App Light flow it is free and works awesome you can edit all your leds. So i hope that helps and works great for you.
Thank you all for the light flow app I think I can make it work for my needs. I knew the Razr community would have the answer.

Why the hell you would like to disable led? I owned/own Droid Charge and it does not have an led. It is so annoying if I missed a call it will not notify me. If I have an email it will not notify me(assuming that I missed buzz or the tone). I do not want to look at my phone every 5min wondering if I got emails.

Ours is not to question.
It's the OPs decision on how the OP wants to live the RAZR experience.
Sort of like the same difference between those that love cluttered home screens, and those that have nothing on them.
TL;DR? To each their own.

Yep. I use Light Flow to kill the notification light at night. I sleep with my razr on the night stand beside my bed and the flashing light wakes my wife up if I get a message or something at night. So I definitely see a benefit to being able to kill them altogether.
Just turn the phone and lay our on its screen. LED is facing down and shouldn't be noticed much, if at all. :thumbup: i do that when i have to have my phone with me at night.

Hi there,
Is there an app for the LED notification to continuosly blink when I get an email, twitter updates, missed calls, etc.? I searched the market place and couldn't find any apps that will do this. There's a missed call app, but that's not what I'm looking for.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Give more info, and are you rooted, on my stock rom I was able to control the led to what ever time I wanted it on. It's on settings and display I believe, I don't really remember what it was cuz I haven't been on stock for awhile now. You don't need an app for led lights

No my phone is not rooted. I just got the phone with Rogers. I went to settings and display and the only options I have are to select which events I want the led lights to flash. There's no option to flash indefinitely.
I have searched the forums and there doesn't seem to be a solution to my question. I have tried many led notification apps, most of them are for missed calls, sms, etc. But even with those reminders, the LED doesn't stay on. Without rooting the phone, is there an app that will leave the LED light blinking when there's missed events?
I have tried:
Missed call - doesn't stay blinking for more than 5 mins
handscent sms
easy reminder - deosn't stay blinking for more than 5 mins
light flow - phone needs to be rooted
There's others I have tried but they were for changing the led light which I found out it doesn't work.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
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.

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!

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.

When I receive a text through Google voice my notification light is a solid purple-ish color. Anyone else text through Google voice and have the same notification? I thought it was just weird that it doesn't flash like all the other notifications. It's stock gs3 btw.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
To be honest I don't even look at the notification colors.. they are kinda pretty but I always have my phone with me so I check right when I hear the sound.
It seems that non stock apps are having issues with the notification lights.
my wife and i use GV for text.
ours both have the same Pulple/Hotpink color for the notification light.
wish it was blue....
Thanks for the replies! It's not the color that's bothering me. It's just the fact that it stays solid and doesn't flash!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I thought it was only me. I get the same thing on my s3 as well. It just stay solid purple for my GV notification. Im just worried that it might burn out the led on my phone
Your not the only one. Turns out that most 3rd party apps that use the notification led are messed up on the US versions of the s3. Guess the firmware for the led on the US s3 was a little different then usual. If you are worried about it just turn off the text notification for voice and check your phone more often lol. I'm not too worried about mine but that's because I don't use voice for texting very much and when I do I check it constantly.
I didn't put this thread in q and a since it's not really asking for basic help.
Moving along, i like the way the led pulses on phone power off with the animated Samsung logo. Is there some way to get the led to pulse like that for notifications? I'm a little disappointed that there aren't more ways to customize the appearance of it.
Thanks in advance!

Well you really shouldn't have put it here because you sure aren't developing anything. You should read the forum rules so you know where to post.
To Your question there are apps in the play store that let you do that.

Not sure what I did but I have Lightflow working with talkback off. I'll mention that Lightflow works best when you have root which I have. My setup does just what I want. Also note that the Note 2 has a setting that enables flashing the LED for incoming messages, voice mail and one other thing I can't recall. The drawback of this stock capability is that the flashing goes off when the screen comes on. I only want the light off when I go to the app causing the LED notification which Lightflow allows me to setup.
Light manager works beautifully andbits free...no bugs

If rooted, the light will stay on when the screen is on using light flow - go into settings and enable root mode and s3 root mode. Unless I misunderstood what you said, in which case, my bad.
Also, once it disables air view to turn on light flow, just go back in and turn on airview
