[Q] PA Notification LED Bug - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been using PA ROM for Galaxy S3 i9300 for a while now. So far didn't have any major problem except rare auto-restarts. But now I'm facing an issue with LED notifications. While the screen is off for any new notifications at the time of arrival the LED flashes once and that's it, then no pulsing. The notification settings are intact. What could be the problem?
Device GT-i9300
ROM: PA 4.45 for S3 STABLE

Same Here
I9300 with PA 4.45 (STABLE)
LEDs don't work 95% of the time. At first I thought either K9 Mail was a problem or a Gravity Box conflict. I did a second clean install (did not reinstall Gravity Box) but get same results. Regardless of which app. K9 Mail, Whatsapp, etc. Led flashes for a split second and that's it. Sometimes if I turn the display on and off it will start to blink.
Also did a test with Tasker>LED Notify, same results, flashes for a split second. After screen on and off blinks as it should.
Solutions or suggestions would be appreciated

Exactly same problem here. Any notifications like for missed call will work here because the screen is on when the the call is received and the screen goes off, then the led works perfectly fine. Tried also turning of the screen exactly when a generic notification is incoming. After screen off the led blinks as set. The problem is only when receiving something screen off. I don't know how android handles notifications, If known I can find the correct source of the problem.

I assume you meant screen ON. Actually I did a Tasker event for received notification with a Secure Settings tas of "wake device for 1 second". However a) it did not help the LED that way and b) it did not go off after a second.
I will be trying Light Manager as described here . Will advise if it helps but need to get back to work. Been spending too much time on this the last few days!

UPDATE: AcDisplay is working very nicely for me. LEDs work fine and its a neat app too!

[Q] Is your notification LED working with Handcent or K-9?

Just wondering on this, cos ive read on there that some people got theres working others not. Me i cannot get the LED to work with either handcent on k-9! Anyone? Any work arounds? Same problems? Would be interesting to know. I've flashed several times now and still nothing. x
My LED notifications work but only when the screen is off.
I have handcent set to wake up the screen when a message is received, as soon as the screen turns off the led starts flashing to tell me I've got an unread message.
When I set it not to turn on the screen the led lights up on receiving a message straight away.
I guess this is the way SE intended or the way 2.1 is meant to run...
Yer so someone said. but mines really not working lol. x
LED notifications work fine when the screen's off, this is how it's supposed to be
With K-9 works fine,includind the colors for each email account.
The LED not working for me too .. I even tried to test the LED in the Handcent and no LED was blinking
Any ideas XDAs ?
As far as I tested, notifications are working fine. But I never noticed LED was working only when screen off

blink notification LED when screen is on

Hi, I'm running neutrino rom and I'm trying to find a way for the notification LED to blink even if the screen is on. How can I accomplish this? I've tried lightflow but the LED still only blinks when the screen is off.
I would like this function, since if I have my phone in the dock and the screen has gone to screensaver mode I can't look in the satusbar to see if I have a notification. And since the LED only blinks if the screen is off I have to touch the screen to check and I find that silly to have to do. Sometimes I forget and then hours later I find out a have had missed calls and texts.

I believe our phone is one of those that doesn't blink led with screen on. I know lightflow warns of this as does my handcent. Don't think its possible unless someone else proves me wrong.
that's strange. if I mess with the LED notifaction settings under Cyanogenmod setting I can test the LED notification while the screen is on. Somehow it must be possible.

Is that cm7 or 9? I noticed in 7 the settings just aren't there (for me anyway) to use led for anything other than system default. With 9 I noticed led functions totally different like the charging led working (love that!) So maybe its rom dependent.
I'm running Neutrino CM7. the LED notifcationsettigns are definetly there. maybe it is rom dependant. Does the LED work for you if the screen in on running CM9?

I honestly haven't had a chance to test that with cm9. I load the rom and test the things that I use most in order, wifi, camera. I don't get passed the camera issue on most. That's a bug I can't live with since I take tons of pics. I will try to remember to test it out next time I flash. Im on rc1 of 7 now getting ready to update to rc2, maybe there will be something there. Where did you find the settings for it in neutrino?
Just upgraded to cm7.2 rc2 and found the screen on led setting. Works great for me. Just wish I could get a charging solid led that goes off at 100% I got spoiled from my flipside I guess but its just so much nicer to not have to turn the screen on to verify full charge. Lightflow didn't work for me.

[Q] JellyBAM - any way to STOP the led option completely?

I just installed JellyBAM today and so far it's working great, but theres one 'feature' that I really don't prefer and I can't seem to figure out how to stop it. As we all know the AT&T GNote 1 was released without a notification LED. JellyBAM has a feature that makes the buttons at the bottom of the phone blink every so often when you get an email, text, etc. I've gone into the LED section of the settings and tried setting the On, and Off settings to OFF and I still get a blink from time to time. I don't want this. I tend to get a lot of email at night, and I don't want my phone's buttons blinking on and off all night.
Is there any way to just disable this completely? Thanks for any help.

You might want to take your question to the jellybam forum as that rom is not supported on xda

Notification LED

Hey guys, I finally got my LED light to start working after disabling the DOWNLOADED APP selection. So now the LED for my text messages blinks every few seconds which is really slow. I took your guys advice and download Light Flow but i can't get it to work and same with light manager. I tried disabling the notification led option under display and then turned it on with all the options unchecked and still light flow or light manager wont blink the color of my sms texts. Seems like both application (only one was installed at a time) doesnt seem to work or is there something im doing wrong? i even rebooted my device
I'm using lightflow and under notification light settings, I have everything checked, including downloaded apps. So I think that part has to be checked.
I''m also having issues with the G3 notification LED in general, as well as Light Manager. Without light manager installed, I sometimes get the LED notification for twitter and sometimes I don't. When I do, it blinks at a 3 second interval. I do get the LED for Gmail, but it blinks in about 10 second intervals. Other downloaded apps, I don't get LED at all. So there's that issue. Wondering if I should take back the device altogether....
With Light Manger installed, things get a little better, but just wondering what I need to have the phone's LED/Notificaiton settings set at with the Light Mgr app installed as it seems to be conflicting with the light mgr app? For example, Gmail doesn't blink at the rate I have it set at in the app nor is it the color I designate. In fact, Gmail acts as if the Light Mgr app isn't even there and blinks as per the LG default (I''ve added Gmail as an app and tied it to my account as well within the app). Very odd.

Since update to Pie, notification led not working for some apps

I just recently updated to Pie on my Honor 8x - all stock JSN-L23.
What I have noticed is the LED no longer flashes green when getting Hangouts messages. SMS works fine for Google's Messaging app as well as Gmail. I also installed Spark and it also does not show LED light when I get a message. Anyone else experiencing this or is this completely isolated?
Thanks.
Here, the LED isn't working for any app except calls and sms in 8.1 and since I bought the phone.
The settings are set to use the light and vibration, but they won't go on. For example Twitter notifications never have sound, vibration and led, I checked and unchecked the settings one hundred times.

I wasn't experiencing any issue with led blinking until Pie. On Oreo, every single notification caused it to blink green. Now on Pie, only a couple apps work. Hangouts being one that doesn't anymore which is a real pain.
I tried using a third party app and it worked kind of but the blinking seems a little erratic and not as smooth.
Noticed that turning screen on when receiving notifications was also removed - at least I cannot see the setting anywhere .
