It looks like the LED notification doesn't work with the NoLED app.
When NoLED is turned on and you get a new notification, it seems like the phone screen is on to flash that notification. Thus, the phone LED indicator doesn't work because it only works when the screen is off.
That's too bad because I'd love to have both notifications instead of having to choose one or the other.
Can anyone else confirm this is the case with their phone too?
FYI, not that it matters but I'm on the TMo SGS3.
Thanks.
Isn't noled used on phones WITHOUT led notifications?

my exact thoughts... I remember it being developed for the G2 if my memory serves me right... which is questionable right now.

Yes of course, but I'm thinking OP just thinks it'd be more convenient if both worked so you didn't miss any important texts/emails. On another note, if this did work it would dramatically decrease your battery life because the NOLED already holds a wakelock and stops the phone from deep sleeping.

Since we just got BLN back with the mesmerize source kernels, I was wondering how people's experiences were with the BLN app vs Blinky. I've seen a couple posts here and there about them but not really a lot of feedback.
I think you need blinky with free version of BLN to have the blinking function.
The paid version of BLN has that function so no need to install blinky with it.
I just use the free BLN control app. All I use it for is text messages, and I don't really need it to blink. If it is on, then I have a text.
BLN app worked fine. I didnt need blinky. I got the free version of BLN and it does what I need (It lights up when text comes in)

None. It has been proven that the battery drain is not noticeable. Like < 1%.
I use Blinky cause Pac-Man is pimp! Actually, it was the first one I tried and it works so I kept it!

Meh I was using it for a while but I noticed my backlight would stay on instead of blink like I wanted, so I disabled it.
thanks guys. i tried both separately and i couldn't get the blinking to work with blinky so i deleted both. BLN is still activated even when the apps are gone, just fyi or my phone is a little funky
I have a strange problem. My phone's ambient/proximity sensor seems to be glowing dim red all the time. its really visible in the dark. it only starts to glow when the phone has booted into android. during the booting it stays off.
I understand some people will think I am confusing the LED for a sensor but let me assure you thats not the case. I am actuallt talking about the sensor situated on the right side of the earpiece beside the "SAMSUNG"'s letter G.
Its from Viber. Uninstal it.

Thank You, That seems to fix the problem. However whenever I use the messaging app the dim red light comes on again.
Furthermore, Is this dangerous ? as I would just ignore it and keep using viber if its not a big deal.
Thanks

Nothing dangerous, you will see the sensor light in messaging app because the very same is used for Smart call feature

Is there any app which turn on the light buttons if i have call or message notification? and thanks!
Yes. Backlight notifications (BLN) Can be activated on siyah or dorimanx kernel via exTweaks. For this you'd need to be rooted and be on either one of the above two kernels.. uses the LEDs of the two capacitive buttons like the notification LED on the nexus phones.

Yeah, but when noled app is active with a notification, screen led stays open....so it consumes more battery than touch keys i think.....

Not really. If you really knew what your phone is capable of... The LED "bulbs" which your screen is made of are turned on only if there are any colors to display.this means that when you have a wallpaper, half white half black, only the bulbs where the white color is will be turned on. The bulbs on the area of the black screen stay off and that means that having no LED indeed is more battery saving than turning on the backlights.

Not exactly. NoLED is actually a known battery sucker even on an amoled since the phone is awake all the while the notifications are on. The advantage though, as someone mentioned is its customizability.
BLN on the latest siyah can be used without wakelocks (BLNWW option in exTweaks) but you don't get the blinking/ breathing option if you activate BLNWW. On standard BLN (with wake locks) you can have breathing or blinking LED options. Also can set it so that it deactivates itself if the battery goes below a set threshold..which is why I'm assuming it didn't work for the OP.

Do they work if you use the test button. Look at the charging options too. I apologise if the "easy tick box" comments offended you.

I just started using NoLed and as far as I can tell, it works really well. You can turn the brightness of the led notification down all the way and still see it pretty well. It'll save your battery. Also, an awesome setting: when your phone is in your pocket or face down, the notification won't turn on until you uncover the phone's sensor(take phone out of pocket). That right there is my selling point.
Hope that helps

Did you get it to work? NoLed isn't perfect. I noticed that if you get a text or call, the notification will pop up, but only once. It disappears if you wake your phone. Mess with the settings more, there are a lot of options. Make it so the notification pops up only when your phone is out of your pocket.

Is there anything better than NOLED . I just hate it when it lights up my room at night. Guess we are stuck.
If only these manufacturers left some of the basic stuff unchanged like the physical home button,notification and charging led and the navigation button placement order. There should be a standard for this kind of things from Google.
Hello everyone,
Okey when I had my Nexus and used the Lightflow app, and a certain notification popped up in the notification bar (that notification was setup in Lightflow with a blinking LED) with screen on it would also blink.
On my note2, if my screen is on and I get that notification, it doesn't blink. I have no idea why.
Anybody familiar with Lightflow? Any ideas how I can make Lightflow blink with screen on?
Sent from my AK-55
Have you checked out Lightflows settings to make sure that you have that checked? Also that may only be a option in the paid version of Lightflow. Im not very familiar with it but it should under settings I would think.
Edit:
Just treated it for myself and it works perfectly on the free version. Click on the app in you app drawer, click settings, enable root mode, enable Samsung mode, then set your apps up.
I tested it on a low battery and it wouldn't quit flashing or give me a notification to turn it off like it does with email and other apps so I had to set it to go off after one minute for the low battery warning. I think the only reason it didn't have a pop ip was because the battery was already at 9%. The light stayed on the entire time the screen was on also.

No problem, its a bit annoying when it wouldnt show the notification for the battery so you may have that problem in the future or it may just be cause I tested it with a low battery.
