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?

Mine was red while charging, and turned green when finished. Are you sure it is finished charging?

Yeah I'm sure. It was over night and even when I get messages etc. It doesn't even blink. I bought two and they are doing the same thing.

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

It seems to work just fine for me, just like it did in 1.8.3.

mine does not.. I just tested using Go SMS Pro and it fails to show up.. that's a slight inconvenience
It has been working normal for me, so definitely not something affecting everyone.
I haven't tested it with any third party apps, maybe that's the problem.

my led works, but when you turn on the phone the led doesn't turn green like it used to do.
by the way, this started to appear just after unlock, the hktw build has got nothing to do with it!

same here.. the phone doesn't start with a green notification; however, i just sent myself a text message and it is blinking green.
not sure what is going on with others' phones.
The notification light doesn't work for me as well ._.
I sent a text message to my phone and got it but the notification light isn't working.
Probably a long shot but worth trying I guess
For all those people for whom LED lights are not working, do you have it enabled in Settings?
works for me!

May I ask where that setting is? I looked in Display and it was not there.
Didn't see any lights on my 2.3.4!
the same hope update
Yes. I noticed mine doesn't light up as like it used to back in Froyo. In fact, the only time it would light up is during power on from cold. All the light up when charged to 90%, blinking when there's an sms, all not working anymore.
I just updated my atrix to 2.3.4 since yesterday and the notification light is not working anymore.
Mine didn't work after upgrade to 2.3.4 Was going to backup and do the factory reset, but when I use myBackup to backup the Data (contacts, settings, etc.) the LED for the notification came back, except the full charge notification light.
(googled and found that some people has the same problem with Droid when upgraded to GB, some of them suggested to clean application cache to get it working)
I don't want to do the factory reset, so will keep looking for the solution.
it works
ATT4.5.91
I just updated my Atrix to 2.3.4 yesterday and it works the same as it always did.
Mine works as before too with only one exception. The LED does not come and stay on when the phone is plugged in and fully charged. This is actually a welcome change to me.
Does anyone know if light flow is compatible with this phone?

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.

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.
I deactivated the led blinking. But it still lights up when recieving mail and sms etc. Is it a bug? Or something im missing here?
Thanks.

I had been stuffing around with different led apps to get it to do what I wanted. In the end I decided that things weren't how I wanted so I turned the led's off and removed all apps that managed the leds. They behaved like yours, flashing regardless of the setting being off. turning them on, then off made no difference.
In the end I just went back to lighflow with accessibility turned on - I had to remove any folders from my homescreens as the talkback kills me, but otherwise they do what I want and don't flash during the night.
But yeah, they ended up like yours and I couldn't stop it. I would guess a reset would fix it (I'm tired of reseting phones/tablets so didn't want to do that again)
I didn't put this thread in q and a since it's not really asking for basic help.
Moving along, i like the way the led pulses on phone power off with the animated Samsung logo. Is there some way to get the led to pulse like that for notifications? I'm a little disappointed that there aren't more ways to customize the appearance of it.
Thanks in advance!

Well you really shouldn't have put it here because you sure aren't developing anything. You should read the forum rules so you know where to post.
To Your question there are apps in the play store that let you do that.

Not sure what I did but I have Lightflow working with talkback off. I'll mention that Lightflow works best when you have root which I have. My setup does just what I want. Also note that the Note 2 has a setting that enables flashing the LED for incoming messages, voice mail and one other thing I can't recall. The drawback of this stock capability is that the flashing goes off when the screen comes on. I only want the light off when I go to the app causing the LED notification which Lightflow allows me to setup.
Light manager works beautifully andbits free...no bugs

If rooted, the light will stay on when the screen is on using light flow - go into settings and enable root mode and s3 root mode. Unless I misunderstood what you said, in which case, my bad.
Also, once it disables air view to turn on light flow, just go back in and turn on airview
