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.

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!

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 have been using NoLED since it was a beta, now the app is on the market with a lot of customization. You can put different colors for sms, call, emails, etc.
Sometimes the application doesn't work proper. Maybe is me. I LOVE IT don't get me wrong.
I was reading and came across another application is call Missed Message. This application turn on and off the screen when you get a notification. I am using this application for a week now and is very effective.
What I like about NoLED is the color.
What I dont like about NoLED is that if you dont realize it will drain your battery.
What I like about Missed Message is that does do job because the screen on and off is very noticeable. Also that you can set up the intervals of on and off after certain time and after 5 hours it just stop workin
What I dont like about Missed Message is that is not customization.
What do you think about this apps. Which one are you using?
I haven't tried missed message, but I have used noLED. The potential was there, but it was just too buggy for me. I'm bout to give missed message a try. I was using sms popup. It worked quite well.
does it blink the whole screen? I wonder if it would be possible to blink a pixel lol

It blink the whole screen. You can make it blink for how many milisenconds you want and how often.
i think the newest version of noled lets you customize how long the app keeps showing missed items so you dont kill your battery
NoLED is better. You can set timeout for ir now if that was your only concern.

I've never used BLN before but it appears to be functioning erratically for me. I'm running RC6 and the bln free that he included in the ROM. It seems I'll consistently get BLN notifications for a few hours, then not get any for a few. I don't know how else to explain it other than sometimes my keys are glowing and sometimes they aren't. And unless I'm missing something the only options in the app are on/off, and duration of light.
Any ideas?
If you want your soft keys to glow every time you have a text you have to download go sms or hanscent sms the reason is our stock sms app doesent have the notification light option since our phone technically doesent have a notification light but the 3rd party sms apps do have the option for a notification light so thats what makes the soft keys glow when you have a text

I could swear though I've gotten bln before from texts alone... Maybe I just got emails at the same time

Emails seem to be the only ones that blink but not text

When we get proper Bln, it will work with stock SMS. It was done on the gs2.

Someone recently posted the led control code is wrong in the phone, and it sure shows. In any app other than stock ones, the led color is wrong and it stays solid instead of blinking. Really getting annoying.
why is it wrong? it works fine with stock maybe its just different because its a full spectrum led?

Its sorta true. I mean my GO SMS PRO just stays solid tricolor! I don't mind it really at the moment. When light flow is fix I will prolly play around with that.
I don't think its wrong or broken...its a new phone, new API.
I think applications just aren't coded to make the proper calls to make this work properly.
Ever see updates from the Play store that says "Now working on Motorola Droid 3" etc...?
My guess is we just have to wait for something like that for our phones.
In the mean time, I do agree that it is annoying that our LEDs won't blink properly, or that my notification light has to be yellow, or purple for text messages, haha.
Mine is not even working at all when I receive a notification or text <_<. It only turns on when I'm charging the phone

Go to Settings - LED indicator and check "Missed event"
So let's just forget about 3rd party apps for a sec, I'm sure they'll update eventually (Handcent SMS, FB etc... would be nice to pic the color and blink for each).
What about stock apps and functionality, am I correct in assuming that even using the stock SMS, email, and phone apps that you cannot customize the LED color or have it blink?

You can use 3rd party apps, like go sms to change the color, but its broken. I have a thread floating here that lists what color you 'choose' and what color is actually shown on the device.

GoSMS notifications are definitely solid. I just keep emailing them and asking them to update for the U.S. versions of the GS3.
LED notifications are fine on the International version.
Hey guys, it there any way for the notification light to blink when you are charging the phone but have received a text message?
If I don't hear my phone while it's charging, I never know if I have a message or not.
Also, is there a way for the screen to wake up when you get a text message?
Thanks!

For the notification light, I don't think anyone had done it yet, but I know that it existed on my thunderbolt, so it is in fact possible.
And for the screen on when you recieve a text message, there is a tweak in viper rom for it.

Boy I wish there was a way to do both of these.
I have a bone stock 2.04 phone. I can live without the notification light while charging but not having the screen come on when a text is irritating. Another thing I cannot stand is that 3 dot menu. Being able to use the recent apps key for that on the other HTC's I've had is great and I just cannot fathom why Verizon doesn't allow the choice for this on the DNA.
I can't wait for root on the 2.04 OTA. I really miss my ad blocking

I would ONLY like the LED notification to light up Red when charging or turn Green when the battery is fully. I cant stand the other LED notifications blinking especially at night, it bugs the crap outta me plus I used AOD so I don't need the LED notification also. Anyway to do this? Thanks.
you could try the Light Manager app in play store, ive been using it since march and plenty of options for you to turn off mail, messages, calls mms etc i really enjoy the app and it works beautifully

I feel the same. What I did was just block notification access to the light from apps that I don't want to know about, like email. I get email all the time, I don't need a light to blink to tell me I have new emails. So I blocked the notification light access to email.

I will try this app, but the thought of having another app in the background always running makes me cringe.

How exactly do you block the notification light access to certain apps? Or do you mean you can just block that one notification from your certain email app?
