I just bought light flow once I heard its been updated for Jelly Bean. I'm running CM10 on my GS III and set up all my notifications. However even when I don't have any notifications my phone shows this dim green light. I've checked all my settings in light flow and have no idea whats causing this. Any ideas?

From the developers website...
" As many will probably know the hardware in the US S3 is different. Dual code compared to Quad and some variants with LTE.
Not only is the processor and radio hardware different but controlling of the LEDs is also different. At the moment the US S3 seems to have its color matrix mixed up, so issuing a code of Red will come out a totally different color. Putting out the color black (which we use when there's no notifications) causes the phone to display green."

Me too. When I saw it was updated, I was hoping it would work with the S3 but no dice. Most of the lights I set up would not work at all. And none of them would flash, just stay on constantly.
Although initially i was happy to know sg3 come with notification led, not anymore. There is something non standard about led notification in US phones which is making it not play nicely with many third party apps including light flow. It properly works only with stock dialer, stock email and messaging. Couldn't get it to work properly with k9 mail, google voice, good messaging, facebook app or anything else i use!

In CM10 you can change the led color without a 3rd party app, go to Settings > Display > Notification light > and you will see default where you can pick you LED color.
The developer of that app has an AT&T GSIII on the way to him he purchased to resolve this problem. It shouldn't be long.

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.
I'm glad we have a notification LED on the GS3, but I'm looking for something that will let us assign colors to different notifications, as well as let us control the blinking intervals. I looked at Lighflow's LED controller app, but it currently doesn't support the GS3. Any suggestions for another app? Paid or Free.
None work with blinking currently ... bug in driver it something. Also colors are wrong in all. Red is always always on no matter what rgb color code us passed to the Api.
Best I found to use is blink at least it let's you name the colors correctly that can be used on our phones.

^This. But, ultimately, our phone is screwy with LED notifications.
Lightflow works depending on the rom. no problems for me on stock

Does anyone know if down the road we will have more control over either of the lights?
I tried using light flow and it doesn't seem to work very well. I don't expect more color options but if I could just get the front light to stay solid rather than flash I'd be very happy.
Anyone have any ideas?

I don't see why they don't just give us three LEDs for full rainbow options. My old Blackberry did. Facebook notification could be blue, green for texts, red for gmail, etc. I would look for additional apps that control the LED and maybe you'll find something that works. I don't have any sugggestions unfortunately.

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

Another vote for Light Manager. It just works.
+1
Took me a sec to figure out the thread was moved lol. I was like "Ummm dummy this IS the Q&A section" Massive :facepalm:
Anyway +1 For Light Manager
Is there a way to change the color of my notification LED for txt messages? Mine blinks blue for all notifications. I know my Droid 3 blinked green for messsges, emails, ect, and blue for Facebook. Does anyone know? Its not a huge deal just something I'd like to change if at all possible

Make sure it is enabled in accessibility in the my device settings.
How many colors can the LED in the S4 display? I know it does red, green, and blue, what others?

Its probably like the galaxy nexus where it can do pretty much any mix of the colors. Its an rgb led I believe.
Turned it on in accessibility and everything works perfectly
Am I doing this correctly? I have "USA and Canada S3 mode" and "Run in foreground" enabled as well as light flow lite enabled in Accessibility to get this app to work properly on my S4. Are any of these actions redundant or will cause more battery drain? Thanks.
Edit: I disabled "USA and Canada S3 mode" and "Run in foreground" to get the colors right.
i still get some talkback issues when viewing gallery, hope to see this resolved soon

Are you rooted? The usa/Canada mode is inky for non-root. Also, running in foreground is not needed. (not for me at least)
I have lightflow running flawless and I'm absolutely loving how it works with dashclock

Negative. I think my lightflow is working correctly.
I just uninstalled Lightflow. It constantly did nothing for certain notifications, I'm getting texts and having no LED at all even though I have it set to blink orange. It works when I test in the app, it works for a little while, and then I just get nothing.
