Titanium Grey Galaxy S3 and NOTE have notification light (LED) defects. The LED does not show the correct colours due to the absence of a cut out of the grey material when the notification LED is. So the LED shines under the grey material which results in wrong colours being deployed and not being as bright. I own both a black and grey S3 and i can see a big difference in the brightness of the LED light. Also when for example a whatsapp message comes through, by default the notification colour is white, but the unfortunately its deployed light blue on the grey phone. Also yellow is displayed as green. This is my 2nd grey S3 and i have also tested a grey Note 2 with the same results.....
How can Samsung release phones like this ?
I don't think that's true for all. My grey note 2 is showing correct colors, and it's even brighter than my s3's as a matter of fact.

Would you be so kind to take a picture or video of your grey not 2 flashing white for me please ? Also from which country did you purchase it from and what colour is your S3 ? Thanks
Also when the notification light is OFF can you see it or is there no cut out in the grey frame . On my one there no cut out and its hardky visible unless its on or flashing
There is no cut out. And only visible when light is on. Mine is not the i9300 but i have the tit_grey i9305 and is exactly the same as my previous white i9300. The light is perfect
I think u may have a light issue on your device

This is the 2nd titanium grey i9300 i have owned, i also own a black one and used to own a white one. Also i have checked 3 grey note 2's at 2 different shops so i know what im talking about. Every single grey S3 or note 2 had the same thing. Please download from the play store a app called "LED tester". Then check the white,yellow and orange colours and get back to me. You should see the white shines like cyan (very light blue), the yellow as green and the orange also like green. Please get back to me and let me know. Thanks !

No need for market apps.
Dial *#0*# and click LED.
Mine is pebble blue, but i tried a Note 2 grey in a shop and it displayed, green blue and red correctly from that menu.
There is no defect.

Yes, i already used this code (*#0*#) and yes RED, GREEN & BLUE are all working ( not as bright as the white,black,blue and red S3's that have the cut out. But the lighter mixed colours are the ones that dont work correctly on the grey phone. If you would like try this app (LED tester) on a grey S3 or Note 2 you will see what i mean.
i also have a standard white s3 in my house and it was mine previously there is no cut out where the led is,
And the led effects are the same.

I'm facing the same problem with my pebble blue s3. All colours except red, blue and green are more or less incorrect. Most of the colors infact show up as a mixture of two or three colours all appearing at the same time. It's such a disappointment to see all those lovely colors of lite flow not being displayed correctly.
Have you found out the solution to this problem yet? Is it even a fixable issue? I'd appreciate any help regarding this problem, as its driving me nuts. Thanks

that's exactly what happens, that's how rgb leds work. It has a red, green and blue lights, that turn on at the same time with different intensity to make a new color

Yes, that's widely known.
The question is why do we see these colours one by one, when other people don't experience that kind of a problem.

Exactly!! Does anyone have any answers?
As people have already said, none have a cut-out and the LED should be invisible when turned off. Don't know what gave you the impression to the contrary.
Not seeing it when it's off is, presumably, the whole idea of not having a cut-out.

Okay, let's leave this behind. Obviously that's not the problem.
So?
I have the same exact problem with my Grey Note 2....although I noticed something..the latest update for Light Manager fixed the problem completely and I now get correct colors... but my biggest problem now is with Whatsapp..if I don't add it to light manager it will still display wrong colors..and with light manager I can't configure the color for private messages or group messages..it's just one color for all which is not useful for me.

+1 I think this is cause by the opacity of the LED screen filter is too low so the color is not well combined before showing out its color And the color is spreading :crying:
I've been wondering this ever since I checked out the LED on my S3.
I've had the GNexus before this and it appears that both these phones (GNexus and S3) have the same LED module.
However, the S3 isn't able to display most of the colors that the GNexus can. I can only think of one reason for that: Drivers.
I was wondering if some dev here can look into this and post here. I'm sure we'd all love to have access to all those colors!
The LED model seems to be LED-AAT1290
list out the colours mate?

I've seen Blue, Green and Red. I9300 XXDLID
I did a test using the LED color tester app, and the only real problem seemed to be the Orange, all others in the app worked fine.
White led always seems to be bluish white....
Indeed not at all white...sky blue color....

I'm using an International GS3 and well... First of all that LED tester app doesn't work since I have lightflow installed.
Now lightflow itself fails to produce most of the colors accurately (other than red blue green).
=============
I read in the LED Tester App reviews that the Tmobile GS3 can produce most of the colors accurately. For example one guy says that he can get PINK displayed correctly. For me, it appears as a rainbow-ish white lol
interesting...hope someone can do that

With Light Manager, I'm currently using white, blue, cyan, green, red, purple. When I was using Lightflow I was also using orange.
Using Light Manager, I've just tested orange, yellow, pink, In some cases the colours aren't perfect; yellow for instance looks a bit funny but still works and I can tell it's a different colour from others. I'm in Australia with international i9300.
You do realize that with Light Manager ...

You do realize that with Light Manager you can customize the hex value of each color to your precise value?

Just explored this option.
Yep, we have terrible LED colours.
But then I use a few basic colours: White, Red, Green, Darkas**** Blue and my notifications are sorted out.
Can you guys try and bring this to some good devs attention?
Im sure this can be fixed with a lil programming magic.
Phew! I thought that my notification light was busted or something!
If you go to GO SMS settings and change the colour, it doesn't appear as it should! Red, Blue, and Green are perfect! The rest of the colours aren't perfect. In fact, it looks like there's a bit of blue mixed into most of them. It is very annoying and it makes the colours purple.

Its not
When I sold my GNexus and bought the S3, I didn't know that the S3 has a full-fledged proper Tri-color LED. I had seen internet videos but they all appeared so dim (weird). It was a very pleasant surprise when I saw this thing blink
I hope some dev gives this problem a look. They could tout it as a main feature in their ROM
Accurate LED Lights!
Can anyone confirm for me if the notification light on this phone supports multiple colors light blue and purple? I use light flow for my notifications for me to know what notifications I have without turning on my phone.
Orange, green, red, blue that's it

I do not believe the HAM2 has an RGB led.... no blue whatsoever. Just red and green (and a mixture of the two for yellow/orange).
Kind of a shame, I would have liked to have seen blue in there and it would have given much more flexibility for notification colors.

Hi guys, I wanna buy white version of MOTOROLA MOTO E (1st generation). But.. Do we see (white) led notification in white version of phone?
I'll be grateful for replies
Yup, there are in fact 2 white lights...
The less bright one works out of the box and flashes for notifications;
the brighter one is always off, but if you're rooted it can be mapped to system events depending on the kernel (make it a charging or disk access light!)

Is it visible during daylight at white phone? I'm worry that led notification in black version of phone can be so much better visible than white version of phone, isn't it?
He wants to know of its visible. I dont think that you HAVE to do the mods to use the phone

It will likely have less contrast, but the led still illuminates (unlike the one on the Xperia U, which actually looks like a painted disk outside of a pitch dark room!!) -- and a semitransparent white paint over the LED area will also probably attenuate the light less than a semitransparent black one!

Nope!
There is a black hole technology integrated into the white version. Black one has a simple white LED. But on the white one, when a notification arrives, a black hole will be created at the top right of the bezel. It appears like "black light" (or better call it a singularity) and is clearly visible because of the white background
Well, jokes apart, it is clearly visible even in the sun, of course you will need to look at the phone in the sun in order to know it's blinking. In the dark, it illuminates my room. Don't worry, go for it. White looks classy
thanks a lot guys,
so i'm going to buy white version
Hey,
browsed the forum and did not find anything for this phone.
this is a high-end phone, not cheap, yet it has issues with led notification colors - when i try to set it to white - it's pink. yellow - is kinda orange. other colors look strange as well.
is it normal for this model? or is this an indication of a hardware failure (broken led)?
It's an RGB led, meaning it blends the colors to make white and other colors. It's not dedicated to any given color. That's normal.
I noticed the same thing, the colors are garbage.
