Just curious how many people here have toyed around with the app "Light Flow". I've been testing different settings for a couple of weeks now, but I wonder if there is a way to make the LED brighter? I set the numerical to 255 like it suggested but it didn't really change much. Is it safe to go higher or could I burn out the LED on my S4?

It is pretty simple it adjusts the color so it looks more lifelike/rich/full etc.
The specific problem some of the amoleds were having, was the blue tinting, this translated into a less clear, darker image you would see. So, the color fix adjusts the blue, heightens the all the colors kelvin (the measure of color intensity adapted from measure of heat), supposedly without using more battery.
Thanks for letting me know

Does anyone know how many different colors the front status LED can create. I'm interested to know because it would be a great hack to have different colors for different notifications, etc.
Try light flow app to see which are available

From what I can tell, at least five or six. There's a LED Tester app on the Play Store that's free where you can try different colors. There's also a free/paid app called Light Flow that allows you to set very specific notifications on an app/event basis. Both currently have issues displaying the correct colors and at last Light Flow is being updated soon to support the S3. See http://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/1826 for progress updates.
Hope this helps!
Thanks, exactly what I needed to know.

Last I heard light flow has a lot of bugs for the s3. So just keep that in mind! It could also have been patched by now too. So look into it.

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.

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!
One of the best features of Samsung is their use of RGB LED's for notifications. I was sad to see that there is not customization of the LED and was wondering what my options are? I have ROOT access with locked bootloader and found a few apps (LightFlow is one) in the play store but they seem not compatible with the Note 2. Does anyone have any tips or methods to get custom LED notifications going? I know I am not the only one who wants a color other than blue for all notifications.

Nice works pretty well, thanks! The LED is not that great at making colors but it at least open it up to a few more options for personalization.
Light Flow that I purchased when I had my GNex also works, though the colors are a little off from the Gnex, at least for me. Orange is showing up as yellow.
Autobrightness or full
Standard. Dynamic. Movie. Natural?
Which is the best.

Used to use natural till I noticed it didn't make battery much better. Normal all day now lol. Always auto brightness

Dynamic with auto brightness.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
Auto brightness is just too dark for me. Auto brightness OFF, slider at 75% and Natural. I used to use Dynamic, and I'm thrilled we we have the option, but every now and then with Dynamic on an images color will look just completely blown out and I ended up moving it back to Natural which is still plenty saturated with the Super AMOLED display.

Thanks for posting this. Never looked in the settings before, and dynamic looks so much better.

Dynamic and Auto-Brightness. There is no 'best' option. It's just personal preference. I like the saturated colors I get with Dynamic, and I dont watch movies on phones anymore so it doesnt bug me. I keep a brightness toggle on my drawer so if I show co-workers some video clips or something I can wow them with a super bright display
I just use natural and auto
Standard w/auto brightness. Love this freaking phablet!

You pretty much have to lower the setting if you want natural colors. But who wants natural colors on a Samsung device!? Oversaturation ftw.
Try lux auto brightness....

Lux auto brightness and standard. my girlfriend always goes on about how nice the colors are on my phone, her incredible 4g looks so washed out next to the note 2.

Yeah I hate the washed out natural color look. I am perfectly aware that the Standard screen mode is way too saturated to be accurate color representation but imho, I love it. Especially running Beans ROM with the nice AOSP blue notification icons. Looks gorgeous!
I'm going to have to start playing with these settings!
I just wanted to take a minute to thank the guys who mentioned Lux Auto-Brightness. I just purchased it and it really is quite spectacular. I didn't realize we could have this kind of control over our auto brightness. Thanks guys!
auto brightness all day everyday! I don't notice a change in battery life though to be honest

What do you mean, "keep a brightness toggle in my drawer" is there stock, isn't it?
I use auto on standard and when showing others video, tap off the auto in the notifications which switches to full brightness.
I've gotten used to the auto being slightly dinner than I prefer. Wish there was a setting to adjust that.
