Hallo XDA Friends,
I have a problem with the LED on my month old s3 ( euro unbranded )
Everything was going great with the LED I Installed Light flow everything was still fine.
I updated to JB official stock rom as i am unrooted, and since then the LED only works when
i boot up the phone and when i use the Test utility ( red green blue ) colours. With lightflow uninstalled
and no LED management software still nothing works. Also not with screen off.
Now I am stuck because it clearly is not a Hardware problem as It works on boot and in test mode,
But not in anny other situation.
I hope someone here can help me and thanks in advance!
check lightflow in the accessibility settings.
if done already to go lightflow settings > uncheck enable lightflow > close app.
open light flow again and enable lightflow.

turn off the screen ?

Hi,
First, download Light Manager on play store, use this app, not include in sammy rom.
If you are rooted, try Siyah Kernel, go to STweak, Misc > Notification > Fading.
Now, all is okay, no problems
Uncheck Lightflow in rom settings, or a big battery drain will coming...
Sorry for my awful english ^^'

I Have tried this also. No luck. I am not rooted. I really just dont understand as the LED works on boot and
in the utility device Test.. Somehow it seems that any other test / usage of the LED doesnt work exept for that..
this should be checked in the settings > display > LED indicator > Notifications

I dont know what to do thank you though Maybe annyone ells can help me!
EDIT - I JUST READ THAT SINCE JELLY BEAN THE LED IS MANAGED BY THE LIGHT SENSOR
MY LIGHT SENSOR ALWAYS SAYS 0 AND CAN NOT ADJUST BRIGHTNESS OF SCREEN DUE TO
WATER DAMAGE.
Is there a way to turn off the Light sensor or enter a value that it "emulates " ?
Still need help
Problem Still persists !

Blue, red, green (presumably an app could also provide mixed colours).
bought it juz for fun.
pleasantly surprised by the functions it offers.
a good buy definitely. doesnt cost a kidney too.
on my s3 when lightflow is on it activates talk back function when choosing home screen page. and talk back and driving mode are off :S
Yep - thats a bug (not with Lightflow) but elsewhere as this also happens with other apps that require Accessibility function.
Requires root or not?

I cannot seem to get it to work at all? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Did you guys need to use direct mode?
Root isn't required.
Yes talk back is an android bug in ics that Google seem happy to ignore. Their support even blame the app devs such as ourselves (and the tasker devs) for the issue but will not reply once you challenge them. It's really frustrating!
I hope to get an s3 over the next week or so to see if there are any extra things I van hook into that Samsung have added to ics.
I have one person with the lte version of the phone and it seems that that doesn't work so well as all the colors are messed up. I hope it's a pre production bug.
New version of the app due soon with quite a few additions.

You need select the function from accessability. Untick led functions within settings and that's it. Let me know of that works.
I think the talkback issue is more of a touchwiz issue, as if you change the launcher to Apex there is no problem
Also i have totally removed talkback from my device... And i still habe the same issue.. So im quite sure what else to try

Had the same problem and had to do a factory reset.
Well I managed to pick up and S3 for development.
I've been playing around with the tackback issue. What is working for me at the moment is going into accessibility. Switching "ON" talkback. Then pressing the "settings button at the bottom".
Uncheck every checkbox in the settings.
Then switch talkback OFF again.
Could anyone else see if this helps for them?
New version of lightflow due very soon, just fixing up a few last bits for the s3 with the new version.

Tried the above still have the talkback bug only but it only seems to be touchwiz related i.e when I open folders on a homescreen or go into the homescreen manager. Seems that the bug appeared after I enabled tasker under accessibility settings.
pulsing led
If you turn on or off your s3, you can see the led actually pulsing blue and greenish... I wonder if an app could make the led pulse in the same way for notifications...
Just wondered if theres any apps out there which add more LED options? Maybe frequency and colour change?

"NOTE - the LED functionality does not work on most LG and Samsung phones."
Does it work with SGSIII?
Yes, it works, but unfortunately it looks like it causes huge battery drain.

I couldn't seem to get light flow (free) to work on my S3, or it didn't change the colour anyway. Does it need root?

Good point - I was going to root last night then thought I'd be screwed if something goes wrong with the phone!
yeah thats what im waiting for , really dont want to void the warranty on a few day old phone by rooting it
Well you can always restore the phone to factory settings, reset the flash counter and unroot which isnt that hard tbh and then nobody would ever no you rooted or flashed another ROM and to your warranty would be intact!
Im going to try out this app now cheers guys!

Is your phone rooted?
Can't get it to work properly, it will blink once when I get a text. Then it stops.

Go to lightflow and make sure that your SMS notification is set to stop "when notified app is open" (or something like that)

I have SMS setup to blink green. Here is what happens
Green light comes on
Screen turns on for like 5 seconds showing the lockscreen and the new message
Green light comes on for a short duration
Red light comes on even shorter.
No more blinks.
I recommend lightflow lite..it is free and work perfectly with sgs3

Your phone doesn't need to be rooted to run light flow.
The issue with SMS showing and then stopping is due to the way it's monitored.
The Samsung SMS app causes the app to pop-up when a new text comes in. Doing this causes lightflow to think the app has been entered and cancels the notification straight away.
Could you try switch on "alternate off monitoring". That's what's needed for some other apps the have a pop-up like this.
I've got an s3 to test this out on, but I haven't got around to cutting a sim card down yet to try out the phone functionality. I plan to do that before releasing lightflow release 3.
To avoid battery drain make sure you set "notification type" TO "Show latest only" in general settings of light flow.
All,
I upgraded to jelly bean via the CNET UK guide and now I do not have led light notifications i have tried installing third party apps to force it but my phone still does not display an led notification. The only time it works is when a call comes through or if it is charging
Also most of the mmi codes don't seem to work? Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers
Grant
Yeah it doesnt work when getting a messsage..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Did you turn the notifications on in the Settings menu? It's under "Display" in Jellybean. I know it's an obvious answer but, sometimes, the most obvious answer eludes the best of us!
Okay it worked it blinks every 5 sec

I restored the factory defaults and JB remained. Now the LED is working.
Does anyone know how to use the front key lights as notification led's on our L9 since we don't have one? I found out how to use the camera flash as one but that's the back of the phone and i don't like facing the phone screen face down on anything in fear of scratching the screen.
If there is not a method already around somewhere to do this, how hard would it be to get this working? I think it would be a great asset to our L9s!

Use LG Notifications from Playstore. It's free but requires root.

Please try the NOLED app. Probably a better option. Tried on my HTC Glacier. Works.

Works for me.
How does it behave for you? On my L9 nothing changed at all once installed and enabled :/ What settings did you choose? Do they flash after the screen turns off for awhile after the notification, and stay flashing until they are read??

I just chose the default settings, and it flashes the front key lights till the message is read. Maybe cause I'm using P760 V10h on my P765.
The app is a battery drainer since it wakes the cpu up each time the buttons light up.
Im hoping they can program this feature into future roms for the L9 where it just causes the LED's to blink until the screen is turned back up when a notification is received. Not sure if its possible to program the blinking to run without waking the cpu?
That was another concern of mine, but if it was integrated into the rom in such a way to not wake the cpu then battery life would not be affected as much.
Hey everyone. I picked up my new m8 yesterday at the AT&T store but for some reason I can't seem to get the notification light to work. Even when it's charging it just says red it never turns green! Does anyone have this problem?

Ok I wasn't sure, but I just checked, my notification light definitely blinks green when there is a notification. Go to settings > display & gestures > notification light and make sure the boxes are checked.

As odd as it might be that you got two with the same problem, that might be the case. I can definitely confirm that the light blinks green for notifications, and is solid green when plugged up with a full battery on both of the one's my wife and I got.
Edit: Just found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704461 it seems that you are not the only one with this problem. It looks like a factory reset may fix it. Might be worth a shot anyway.
I had the same problem. I read on another forum that if you install another launcher the led stops working for notifications. When I first setup my phone restored apps and one of them happened to be a launcher. I did factory reset did not restore any apps and notifications led started working again. I'm not sure if another launcher had anything to do with it but the fix worked for me.

same here, I had Nova Launcher and the LED wasn't working, factory reset and now it works, again not sure if it was the different launcher but the reset worked for me
It's a bug in Android back up & restore. Your restore files get corrupt. Same with HTC back up.
Only way to fix it is by not restoring with either option. Just do a fresh start
