I recently installed UNOFFICIAL 4.3 ROM for Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. Had some issues. The phone wasnt charging but it seems like its charging now. And why are all the leds on ? the blue, red and green LEDs are on and have no idea why
Are we supposed to guess which rom you are using...?
If we know what rom, what recovery, any additional mods or themes, and what the last official version of the software were you using then we could start trying to point you in the right direction.
Also I'm not quite clear on what you mean by all the LEDs are on? I thought there was just one notification LED light on it? Or is it flashing various colors?

Cyanogenmod 10.2..and there is the blue LED that is for notification, green for messages and red while charging.
Sounds like mystery solved then or...?

I solved the LED problem. Just disabled something in the settings and its all good now.

I saw a lot of Galaxy S2 preview movies now. But one thing I'm still missing is the notification led....
Lots of reviews, do a review with the charger hooked to the phone. But there's nowhere a led burning that the S2 is charging or something.
Is there a indication LED on the S2 or did the people at Samsung just leave it out?
Personally I think I would miss the led notification if it isn't there.....
Is there somebody who can tell a bit more about this?
Nope, there is no Notification LED for Galaxy S II.

Yes, we do. Anyone care to start?
Somebody told me that on the Galaxy S there was a way to use the buttons on the bottom of the device to use them as a notification led.... Anybody has more information about this? Or a movie as an example?
Found it!

Would be nice if this could be done on the S2.

No LED notification - Is this final? This makes me sad :|
Will this stress the LED bulbs out to a point where they will die out?

No, LED's have a lifetime well over 25 years of normal daily use. You will never burn them out unless it was defective.
Well, then I will certainly look forward to his mod. Although the Sound alerts will also suffice.
But that'd only for SMS though
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Would be nice if someone could make a program in which different patterns for lightning the leds at the bottom of the screen can be choosen. And that it's possible to assign different patterns to different notifications.
I often have my phone in my jacket, when I'm at work. The fastest way to check if I have a message or something is when I can take a look at the LED notification... We'll see what the future brings.
No LED? There is a video on YT of the boot-up sequence and at 20 seconds in a LED flashes purple at the top left (next to the front facing camera). The model is a retail version (as it has the Samsung logo on). Surely this is the notification LED - or am I mistaken?

Corrected - seems I was wrong! Didn't know the video had already been posted on XDA, turns out it is a proximity sensor

You will see the same effect if you point your phone's camera (or most consumer video cameras or non-DSLR still cameras) at your TV remote and press a button.
You will not be able to see anything with the naked eye.
ill start a FAQ, but you guys help give me information for it alright? ill start working on it now

Any news on the mod which acitvates the light of the home and back button when you have a new message?
The app that you guys are searching for, to turn on the buttons, is called BLN Control.
Here's the site:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/bln-control-free/neldar.bln.control.free
It requires you to have a kernel that has a BLN mod however.
Finally its here!

Thanks for this. I checked the site but didn't see how to install it. So i googled it and found this:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/enable-back-light-notifications-on-galaxy-s-ii-with-bln-guide/
You need to have a rooted sgs2 and CWM installed. download the zip from here (same link posted from the site mentioned):
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&drKey=1359&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1200262&v=1&libid=1312840807984&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.multiupload.com%2FIY7A211PI7&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xda-developers.com%2Fandroid%2Fbacklight-notifications-mod-for-galaxy-sii%2F&title=%5BMOD%5D%20BackLight%20Notifications%20for%20Galaxy%20SII%20-%20GT9100%20-%20xda-developers&txt=Back_Light_Notification_GS2_v3.zip%20(6.77%20MB)&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13128419398541
Flash it in CWM, then reboot. and now my buttons light up when there's a new message.
btw, you should also have the BLN control app from the market (the lite version is free, but less options of course.)
Update: I bought the pro version! and now i can set it to blink, plus it also blinks when there are missed calls. Lite version has only a static light and doesn't notify on missed calls.
long time lurker only just having signed up to ask this question. do apologize for a repeat thread as i'm sure it's already been asked but i cant seem to find it via search
finally got round to rooting my device and installing a custom rom. all is good the only thing bugging me is how dim the LED notification light now is compared with stock. is this something to do with updating to JB or is it because i'm no longer running the stock kernel?
thankyou

I noticed it in the stock jelly bean firmware, so i guess something changed there. Think there is some apps that can change the LED but not sure if it adjusts brightness. I've noticed it only on the red LED.

cheers, thought i'd perhaps changed a setting or something but guess not
all 3; blue, green and red are noticeably dimmer since flashing to JB. yet when you restart the phone for example the blue LED is just as bright as it was using stock ICS. i'll have a look at the LED apps see if there's an option for brightness kicking about
Hey Guys,
I want to have my LEDs to be always on when some notification come in.
The normal behaviour is blinking until you unlock the device and check the notification, but i want it stay on insteand of
blinking.
Light Manager quite does the job but i dont want an extra app for only enableing this. Is there a path to a file
where i can simply change the blink duration to 0 or something like this ?
Cheers

What ROM you on? If it's prior to 4.2.2 you could use JKay MOD?
Im currently on 4.1.2 Stock FW. and also rooted.
Never heard of JKAY Mod before and dont want to flash any other ROM cause of the features i use
in the stock FW.
But probably i will try out PA.
back to topic: is there any way for me to get the LEDs turned on the whole time instead of blinking ?

JKay is a framework, not a ROM. It basically just opens up a whole load of super-useful settings.. the dev describes it as Settings as Samsung should have made them.
Wouldn't know how to do it manually, sorry.
alright then.
i will try out JKay Mod and see if this will work.
can you explain me how to get the LEDs to behave the way i want with this mod ?
I want to switch off my charging LED, indeed I'd like to switch off the LED completely. My phone is rooted and I've been trying out apps, but so far I haven't found a single one that can do the job. Can anyone please recommend an app or a method of simply killing the charging LED? Thanks.
Use a ROM that allows custom colour for charging and notification.
Select black as the colour.
Works with teamUB I've seen the colour selection options in quite a few ROMs. I don't know about stock though.
Thanks. But changing ROM seems like a serious overkill! I really do want to stay with the stock ROM (and to be able to receive the imminent over-the-air Lollipop update). Is a change of ROM really the only way to do it?

then rooting and unlocked bootloader is not for you.. stick a bit of electric tape over the led
Your sarcasm notwithstanding (and I actually DID stick tape over the LED for a while!), I've found a solution:
Using an app called "Light Flow", running it in "Direct mode", and setting its sleep time settings for all day, I've managed to kill the LED dead. Job done
Could anyone please mod Led Notification of missed call and sms to RED LED replace the original Green one.
This will help a lot.
My green is not bright and hard to see.
Thank you very much.

I've already tried. It's not work all the time.
Every 5-10 min, green light comes back again.
It has to be mod diriect in the system.
Thanks for your recommend.

Are you running on stock? I'm on ResurrectionRemix and just installed the app. It wasn't working on initial default setup + root option because of the "Direct Mode" setting. After turning it off, it was working perfectly.
Also, make sure you turn on Notification Access and keep an eye on the app that Light Flow has selected for Phone and SMS, etc.
For example, I use Textra for SMS so I had to configure it to use Textra instead of the preinstalled "Messages" app from Google. Then I set the red notification light for it.
30 minutes now and it's still blinking red. I don't know about stock since I'm not on it now.
My Axon 7 ULboot+root using A2017G V1.2.0B04(Australia latest rom).
I think someone can modify this rom, since someone can modify date&time and place on the status bar.
If no way to do so. I will try your ResurrectionRemix and using Light Flow as you mention.
Thank you very much for your opinion.

Yeah, you may be right. Why don't you try sending a message to the OP who created the "Center Clock" mod? He may be able to help out.
I'm already working on the led.
But first I have to solve a compilation issue that give the adjustments from the first day.
patience.
