How do I turn on the LCD light to flash constantly? I'm so use to this with all my phones. I tried everything and can't seem to find it.
Also guys, how do I change the back ground to black? I want EVERYTHING to be plan black. When I put the background black it still navy blue!
Ive been wondering the same thing, too. [regarding the backround.] With the LED light, are you talking about having it constantly blink for messages? because there's a setting that you can change to allow the LED light to blink for X amount of time...
Yeah to make it blink! I want it to blink while their is no message and where their is a message.
hmmm. the setting i found is to make the LED blink longer or shorter FOR the message.. im not sure if itll do it without the message. that might a RegEdit.
What's the setting you found? My LCD doesn't blink at all.
Settings > Personal > Sound and Notifications > Event: New Text Message
and then itll bring up the settings for it..
Play sound : select sound
Display message on screen
FLASH LIGHT FOR: 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60 minutes.
there ya go.:]
Yeah I got it now thanks.
I wish their was a way to keep it blinking with another color to show you have no messages. I so use to this with my BB 8900! Green for no message and red for when you have a message. Oh well!

I'm having a bit of trouble. Whenever I get a text message or MMS the green notification LED doesn't turn to amber? Anyone know a way to get it to turn amber when a message is received?
Haha, I wish you were right and we had a problem. No, this is what we call a feature in the Excalibur. The LED doesn't turn amber at all when you receive a message.
The only way you can tell you have received a message is when the phone is charging and there's a steady green or a steady yellow. If a message is received, then it blinks green.
It's really annoying and pisses me off coming from the PPC world but that is just the way it is. If it makes you feel better, Treo 750 users have similar issues and that's a full blown WM5 phone.
There may be programs floating around that can change the LED upon certain triggers but the ones that I have tried don't really work. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them. We all know that the LED can blink yellow, green or red. It should just be a matter of software to get that going.
I have been using DontForget. It has the ability to turn off your LED and have it blink only when you have and email, or SMS or a missed call. Or, if you like to keep the normal flashing, you can set it to just blink faster when there's a notification. IMO this should be part of the OS. Get it at http://blog.softimage.cz/?page_id=83
I have also been using DF since Day 1 but it is kinda quirky. I would prefer to change the color of the LED rather than turn it off completely and have it flash faster (I mean how the hell do you distinguish the faster flashing from the slower flashing--I can't and I tried).
I've configured my DF to turn off the LED as well, i'm quite happy with it
Sweet! Thanks a lot for the help. It was a life saver
Is there a way to get the notification light to blink all the colors it gives me as far a options b/c it only blinks red & no other colors? I have went through the stock text app, handcent, email to change the settings but they all blink as red.
I tested this yesterday and recommend Light Flow from the market.. there is a lite version that's free and you can test out the LED light. We only have Red, Blue, and a combination of both of them that looks like Magenta. You have to set it to Green in the app for Magenta..
I saw another post on this, but couldn't get it to blink at a regular rate. No matter how I changed the flash led setting, it would stay lit for a long time and eventually blink, only to resume again. Do you have settings that allow it to flash quicker?
Thanks.
I tried the light flow app which it worked to get the light to flash but none of the colors worked but some how it disabled my email notification light.
I am using Light Flow but have been seeing a yellow notification light and there is nothing that it is notifying. I am not positive, but I think I saw the same color notification before loading Light Flow.
I can not figure out what this is notifying me of and in Light Flow I don't have anything notify me in yellow.
Anyone know what's going on with the light?
I have the same issue as well. Even after I uninstalled light flow it remains.
You need to go into whatever is set for yellow, and find the setting that removes notifications. I had yellow set for google talk, but the notification light would go off until I physically opened the app, even if the notification was removed from the status bar. You can set it so that the notification light disappears upon turning on the screen.

Yea, I uninstalled the app, when I did have it I did use the setting you mentioned but it didn't help.
It would be nice for Google to build in something like Light flow into the system Nativity that wouldn't be so buggy.
My main beef with the notification LED is that it blinks way to slowly, i have to stare at it for like 10 seconds to see if i have a text or not.
Light flow appears to not be compatible, as it causes the LED to be solid green whenever my screen is off (even if there's no notification), and Light manager partially works, (does not blink, and color is off)
Are there any other apps out there? I really just want to make it blink faster (frequency control)
Yours blinks? Mine stays on solid when I have any sort of notification. (Missed call, text, email, voicemail, etc...)

hmm strange, u have stock at&t galaxy s3?
i'd never want mine to stay solid, i'd imagine there would be a significant drop in brightness after a few months, especially if i got a notification after i went to bed and it were on all night.

Yupp, all stock. And LEDs don't normally get dimmer until they are about to actually go out. Which takes a long long time. It's not like an incandescent lightbulb.
when i miss an email mine is solid green. miss a kik message solid purple. miss text message blinks blue.
I didn't configure any of this and can't even see how to.... I thought the system just was realizing different apps notify and changing it up.
interesting, my LED flashes blue for every type of notification, it just flashes like once every 8 seconds, which is just too slow.
Mine is solid as well, red when charging, blue for emails, and purple for almost everything else. I have a white phone as well.
If there are multiple notifications, it will pulsate through the different colours.

You can change the settings in Kik to get one of like 3 colors I think. I have mine set to white in Kik and it actually does come out white. I think the other two that work are red and blue. Pretty sure green is the only one that doesn't work.
Has anyone been able to get their phones to have a blinking LED notification while using Go SMS pro...I enabled all the notification settings, but the LED only blinks when the screen turns on after first receiving a text message. After the screen times out, the blinking LED stops completely.
I was using handcent before and LED notification was working fine, but I was wondering if anyone figured out how to get it to work with Go SMS

I have mine setup where the screen doesn't turn on when I get a text, but it blinks like it should. When i test it, I have to turn the screen off to see the LED is working. That app has a TON of settings so I'm thinking there is something in there you can set on how long it will blink for.
Make sure the led color is set to blue. That may be it.

Does your blinking LED work, even with the screen set to turn on, unlock, and show the sms popup notification...I tried the suggestion about not having the screen turn on and just have the LED blink...that seems to work, but I was wondering if any one has figured out the right combination of settings that allows there to be a popup screen + LED notifications once the screen times out
Has anyone figured this out? I am having the same issue.
If someone figures out the exact problem the OP is having, please update and let us know. I have the same issue. PM me or something too. I'm using Xperia TX.
go sms led issue
hey there! hoping you can add some input to my quest for solving my problem.
problem is this:
i get a new message, turn the screen on, read the pop up, reply. the tesla unread app recognizes that i've seen the message and the unread message count goes away, yet the green LED keeps blinking as if i haven't seen anything. to stop the LED from notifying me about the message i just replied to, i swipe down the notifications tab and swipe it back up. then the LED stops blinking. very strange to me.
FIXED. settings needed to be changed on my phone.. not go sms app.
I just installed a new LED app called LEDBlinker Pro on my SIII (SGH-T999). It's required that the screen NOT turn on in order for the LED to blink. Despite me turning off of the "screen on" option under the app's (advanced) settings, the problem is GO SMS Pro continues to turn on the screen whenever there're incoming text messages. Thus no LED notification for me
I sent the GO Dev Team a message, but I was hoping someone else on here knows a fix. I really want to be able to use my new LED app.
Thanks in advance!
*Strangely, the LED notifications were working fine earlier this week, but then this suddenly occurred and I did not update GO SMS Pro or install any other apps recently.
