Not a big deal but, is there anyway to get the notification light to illuminate the way it does on the galaxy nexus? You know, how it slowly lights up? Really not a big deal but just wondering if this was possible. I downloaded light flow allows me to tweak the colors when I get nofications but that's about it..

Siyah kernel make the notification led fade in/fade out (if that's what you ask...)
Yeah that's exactly what I ask. Thanks I might give this a shot.

I am thinking about getting a vibrant and have been reading about a lack of notification LED. This isn't a deal breaker for me, but i was curious if there was a way to get the capacitive keys to blink to act as a notifier? Thank you for your time.
Or you

Or you can go to the market and download an app called NO LED. No led turns the Vibrant's screen into a notifier. Its a very cool and useful app. People are often amazed when they see my phone's screen light up with icons instead of the traditional notification led.

You can also download a kernel that allows you to enable backlight notification through Clockwork. For example, if you're on 2.2, you can flash one of Eugene373's kernels available here: http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=28. This allows you to use the capacitative keys as a notifier. They will not blink, though; they just stay lit.
I honestly wouldn't recommend the capacitive keys as the notifier if they do not blink because it well eventually kill the battery and bulb/led. I personally recommend NO LED since it blinks and also the notifier/led icon jumps all across the screen instead of lighting up in one spot so it doesn't burn out the pixel/led. I hope I've made some sort of sense. Sometimes I can confuse others.

Thanks for the quick responses. I had seen NoLed only as a colored dot, but after looking up some more videos and what not, this looks like a great app, even better than a flashing light at the top corner of the phone. I will definitely picking up a vibrant or a nexus s within a couple weeks. Thank you

pretty much the only known way to use the capacitative keys to act as a notifier is flashing the ULF kernel or eugenes(im sure some of eugenes kernels are based off ULF). personally i wouldnt use ULF as it has poor coding and does corrupt RFS overtime. im waiting for supercurio to code a voodoo kernel that uses the button notifier as he seems like a more experienced dev and avid debugger
I am coming from the Droid 1 were I was able to setup different colored LED notifications based on different events. When I switched over to the Thunderbolt I can't seem to get those same options. Does the TB only have two LEDs?
For example, in Handcent I was able to set a different color LED depending on who sent me a text, now when I try to set that option it will not open the color selector. Same goes for TouchDown Exchange, I cannot customize the color of the LED.
Thank you.
I am also wondering about this feature. I know its been covered but I'm on my phone and don't feel like looking. But I think it has something to do with htc software or something like that

I personally liked being able to set a different LED color for my txt messages, made it easy to see if I had something waiting when My volume is off at work.
Minor detail though, that I barely miss now. I can just turn off the led notification for anything else, has the same effect. It's almost invisible behind the speaker cover though, the led on the TB is really only useful for determining when it is fully charged IMO.
I went from the droid to the fascinate and had no LED. Now I went from the fascinate to the thunderbolt, and I'm very happy to have any led.

quick question about the LED's guys... sometimes i look at my phone and no lights are blinking but then i look and i have new texts. i havent changed any settings regarding led lights or downloaded any apps to change them. are they suppposed to stop blinking after a while or is something wrong? i remember on my old droid one they would keep blinking untill i checked it, but then again that was a motorola phone... thanks in advance
Coming from Nexus One, track ball led notification and customization was one of my favorite features. I completely lack this in the SGS2.
What are you using as your main notification system?
Thanks
You can always use the application No led, free from the market.

Thank you. I just tried it. Seems to be working fine. Will monitor battery impact with the hungry SGS2.
Thanks again
As far as I know the battery doesn't get affected much. Just make sure you don't have the notification set to static, as doing that could cause pixel burn.

Love it. The answer was in the question!
This is a cool app. I was looking for something like this after coming from the Nokia N8 and it's on screen notifications. I particularly like the clock. Power consumption should be low with the super amoled screen i'm guessing?

Yeah, it should be.
Is it just me or does the led notification light seem very low? If the phone is laying down flat it's very hard to see if your not lookin at it directly is anyone else having this issue as well?

I consider it a feature..I can accidentally set my phone face up at night without a notification lighting up the whole room and waking me up. It's all in how you look at it I guess!
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I agree that it's not very noticeable and I like being able to see it. One of the smaller issues I have to complain about right now though.
i agree, does not light up the whole room. My old EVO used to do that. uggg
I want to know when the light is going to work at least how it says in the manual
Okay thought it was only me. Yeah other than that I love this phone especially how fast it charges!
Yeah I thought the same thing when I first got my photon, I don't mind it though, and your right it does charge super fast,
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Well, until you mentioned it.................Yes, its low unless I'm actually looking at the phone (and this likely saves battery?) BUT, as stated, I dont want my bedroom glowing when I'm sleeping either. Not like I would get up and actually check it anyway!
Hi guys.
I just wanted to confirm something regarding the touch light keys(menu and back keys) on the white S3.
When they light up, the surface around them will also have some dim light probably because they're too bright.
Is this normal? Does this happen to all white S3 users?
I attached a photo to make my poor description clearer.
Thanks a lot.
turn them off
Yes, happens to all of themthem
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Yes it happens on mine also.
Thanks for the reply. Now I'm relieved.
One additional question, does this happen on the blue S3 too?
Same here, i just turned them off because you cant miss the buttons. And i think the phone looks better with them off.
It happened on my white one - I call it the halo effect. That's why I swapped to the pebble blue. It doesn't happen on the pebble blue.
So it doesn't happen on the blue one.
But I still love my white one, bored of dark colour already although the blue S3 is kinda unique.
And yes I'm gonna turn them off, looks clean and sleek.
This is normal. You will also notice that the notification LED will have the same effect e.g. blue LED - whole front of phone will turn blue when the LED is on.
Does not happen on the Blue one.

It's not a problem.
All white models are made in this way.
If you don't like,turn it off.
On this subject. Does anyone know of a way to change the brightness of the buttons? I have them off atm but would like them on but dimmer. The light blur looks quite cheap and is a design oversite in my opinion.
I would be very interested also in any solution to adjust the brightness

It would be great if there's an app to adjust the brightness of the touch light keys!
Any news about the adjustment of the touch key brightness?

I've turned them off. I don't get it at all. Why do the buttons light up? What information is it giving you? "Don't forget - this is a button - press it and something will happen. In the case of the back button what will happen will be entirely unpredictable 90+% of the time! Might go back, might quit, might even take you to a page you've never been to! But you can press it!"
Any news about it? Someone knows if it's possible to adjust the brightness of the touch keys?
Every solution is welcome
I have white s3 and I prefer the lights like that.. looks cool.
