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

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.
Hi guys,
I'm having a weird bug with SMS notifications on my S3, when I get a text it will cut short or sometimes not even play the notification sound. I've tried various tones, restarting the phone, changing the settings off - reboot - turn setting back on, but nothing is sorting it... Anyone else had this issue and been able to resolve it?
Thanks,
J
Same problem here, its totally random.
I've noticed this myself a few times as well.
I had it, I changed to a different notification sound and that fixed it. Not sure if you can go back after? Whistle annoyed me so didn't try.

Do you keep your phone screen down on a table, there's a motion settings to mute ringtones if the phone is placed screen down on a table.

I am having the exact same issue, although it only appears to do it with custom sounds that I have added, I have not been able to replicate it using stock sounds

Dude I think its the viber app. Are you using this app? Try to close it and you will that the sensor will off. I uninstall it for the mean time and wait for another update

Yes, the problem is viber app. I dont know viber or rom, but when i kill vib
r, sensor stop light.
Problem with viber is for every android device. Here is the previous version
http://db.tt/SkSNRu3C
I had this too.. Thought it might be smart stay but I removed viber (even though I hadn't even signed in to it ) and Red Light is now gone! Suspect that may possibly have contributed to the slightly enhanced battery drain I was getting in the latest official stock JB ROM (XXDLIB)..

Two post up i post link. This is previous version of viber
Here is the link http://db.tt/SkSNRu3C
I too had the sensor on all night last night. It was after installing siyah kernel it seemed to happen. This morning was going to flash stock kernel back to see if it fixed it. But before that I just did a reboot and when it came back on it was not showing anymore.
I do have Viber and it's always on as we use it for picture messages, it's still on now and the sensor is not showing.

Edit: it did come back and it was down to Viber, I have installed previous version and it's perfect. Thanks for the link
same problem fixed
I got the same problem after installing JB for my S3... but i did what you guys said... uninstalling viber the problem gone, so i better now knowing my JB Room its not the problem...
Viber just released v2.2.3 which they claim resolves the issue.

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.
