i just got a droid DNA the other day and i love it, but the green notification light keeps blinking even if there's nothing new. i've turned off LED notifications and still keeps flashing. help?
Turn off fastboot and reboot.

If you have a 3rd party messaging app like Handcent or ChompSMS, you have to go into the stock messaging app and turn off notifications. Most likely you are being notified of something through 2 apps.

Hi all, I've recently updated my gf's x10 to gingerbread. It's working a treat but she's giving me grief because she has no flashing led for sms or missed call notifications! Crazy woman, never happy lol. Is there a way to switch it back on, its not in the display settings, or has it been removed from gingerbread?
Thanks in advance.

For me, I have LED notifications in GB.
It flashes white for a brief moment when a new notification is registered in the statusbar and then the LED starts flashing green.
But the screen has to be OFF.
Also it's cool, because the LED flashes for notifications even while charging!

I hate how my screen turns on when I receive an sms message. I only need the notification icon in the taskbar and the led blink and if I disable the notifications from the settings the screen does not open but I loose the other notifications as well. Any ways to fix this?

Same question anyone?

Bump
interested in that too
Don't know if it's possible with the stock app, however if you're willing to use a 3rd party app, Go SMS does have an option to keep the screen off and quite possibly other apps do too.

switch to HANDCENT SMS, it is the best sms app, i am using it for a year now. Go to setting and disable pop-up. Now when you receive a message, it will vibrate, led will blink, but screen will not turn on. You will ses the message in the notification bar.

That's what I'm using right now but I want to minimize the use of third party apps as much as possible . Plus with handcent sms when I send a picture or video it doesn't work. I have to use the regular messaging app in order for my mms to leave successfully .

Still no solution for this one. I don't want to use handcent or go sms for two reasons. First I like the simplicity if the stock samsung app and second I use the direct call feature that only works with stock app. There must be a way to hack the default messaging app to stock opening the screen when receiving a message.

BUMP. This feature is sooooo annoying!!!!
It irritates me also. I've used Handcent on every device in the past, but I don't want to for some reason on this one. I actually rather like the stock messaging app.
I suppose I'll go back to Handcent. The screen on is annoying, plus it creates a temporary wakelock that drains the battery even more.

Any app out there that will do this? What about ability to turn screen on with long press of Home Button?
Try notify lite. Its free in the market. If i recall, there's an option to turn on screen when notifying. I used it with my Photon, it worked pretty good on that phone.

I know handcent does this for text messages so I know it can be done

There is also a market app called Missed Message Flasher that I use. You can set it to flash for all kinds of alerts
Quick question. Does anyone find that their led doesn't blink with non stock apps? Like I have gosms and the led lights up and stays lite instead of blinking same with like yahoo mail. I also notice if I use say lightflow and pick say "blue" for an led color the color will show up "red" no matter what color I select it will show up a different color on the led. I just find this weird.

I havn't had any issues with the Gmail app. But I do know that setting g custom LED settings in certain apps can sometimes make the LED act funny you may want to check settings in individual apps.

Got the same in gosms and Facebook

Uninstall Light Flow and you will be all set. It has some bugs with the S3 sadly. The dev knows about it and will fix it in the next update.

I have read that it is a known bug. Hopefully it gets fixed in the next OTA update.

glad I wasn't the only one and was able to check to see others are dealing with the same. I just got my verizon phone yesterday and it has been driving me bonkers tryingt o figure out why it wasn't working! I knew I wasn't that android ignorant!
Not sure if the latest light flow fixes this, but a brand, spanking new release is out!
hi. everytime i receive a notification, instead of the flashing blue status light.. i get a steady red light. any idea what could be causing this?
Do you have any led apps that change the color of your led? Or do you have the red charging led indicator notification on?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
no extra apps for the LED. and yes i do have the box checked so that it lights up when it's charging.. but my phone is not charging.
Is there a way to change the colors around? I would like to change my notification to green instead of blue

Light flow on the play store, only bug with that is that a green led stays on when you turn off the screen, but I hear the dev is working on it.

turns out the steady red led light happens when there's a facebook notification. is this the same for everyone?
I get blue for texts, red for everything else

I've noticed the same thing. When I get a Facebook notification, it is a solid red light. Other notifications get a flashing blue light. I don't think I've gotten a single notification that uses a green light yet.
Light Flow doesn't work that well for me for some reason, though. I've uninstalled it for now, but it looks like they're working on it for both Jelly Bean and the US GSIII, so hopefully an upcoming update will get us set up.
