The wimax led can display turquoise which would appear blueish depending on the surrounding light.

What gypsy magic do you know because the Evo can't get blue...I've never gotten it for reminders or anything.

its the led light on the right side, when i got gingerbread it started doing it.

That is the wimax led and the color it displays is turquoise but appears blueish.

[Q] Light Flow LED app Guide/Help

Hey all, anyone out there who has had success with this app for the Sprint GS2 could you please explain what steps you took to get it to function for you?
I know that the phone is limited to blue and red, some report magenta also, and that the "white" setting in Light Flow will cause the LED to flash red more quickly.
I have been playing with this app for a few days to no avail. Help is appreciated.

I would also like help with this <3

what do you need help with? is there any apps you can get light flow to work on? i tried it and it worked perfectly for me, it just used alot of cpu time so i uninstalled it. whats your problem or difficulty your having with it?

Really just getting it to work in general. I would prefer the blue led for most things. In my time I have been unable to get any of the options to work. Do I need to set it to run in foreground, direct mode, etc? What is your setup?

I just installed it again to test it out for you. The 3 colors you mentioned are the ones that also work for me. I choose blue for almost everything though. Only thing I changed in the settings was the color of light. It works perfect. Light stays on untill I click the notification in the pull down status bar or access the app its self. Do you use juice defender or any type of app like it? Do you go into task manager and clear the ram?

I also use this light flow without a problem.try going into menu/settings scroll down to accessibility and check lightflow box.although it seems to work regardless for me.in the app
there is a test that you can check to see if the led's light up to the way you have it set up.
Mine is set up to flash white (fast red blink) for missed calls, blue for sms/mms, and blue when I charge my phone.works good.direct mode is unchecked.can't seem to get magenta to work though

Did the new update bring different color LED notifications?

I never noticed this until the lastest update, but the LED changes different colors for different notifications. Voice mail gets a green , Facebook gets a blue,etc..I remember my phone use to light up a rainbow color.. anyone noticed these changes?

May be someone that can clarify your answer... all I know is that I use Light Flow to change the color of the notifications.

Which update? Carrier or XDA?

The blue notification comes from the 1.9 update of the Facebook app. I don't use Voicemail, so I can't comment on that. SMS notifications are white (whitish) by default, can't change that without 3rd party hacks.
I configured Whatsapp though, to give green notification light, but you could change that to anything else in the app settings.
If you want more options for other apps, use an app like lightflow, although personally I don't like it, never worked reliable for me.

The led has always been different colors, depending on your apps. Nothing new.

I have Android 4.0.1, yakjuux, Galaxy Nexus from Fido.
So far, my LED light has never lit up when I get a Whatsapp message. There's an option for light color in the Whatsapp settings menu, but it doesn't seem to work. I don't feel I need to download third party apps (light flow) in order to make the built-in LED of the phone to work. Shouldn't the notification LED work out of the box, without any tinkering?
Anyone else have this issue?

Seems normal. Have u rooted? CM9 nighties now has great support for led color notifications

My led was never lighting up for some reason until I started using Light Flow. I can't understand why would they give us a nice multi-color led and not use it nicely. And my god have I missed the charging orange led and charged green from htc.

I'm also using Light Flow and it works great, otherwise not so much with stock but the LED has always been a tri colored led.

Normal for the LED not to work, even thought Whatsapp has an setting for it? That seems ridiculous.
My phone is not rooted, and I don't think I'd have to in order to make this LED to work. Why even put one on the phone if it doesn't work???

So far, I haven't noticed any different colours on my GN. It would be great if it comes through the official update. Else CM9 shouldn't be far away anyways

Light Flow and Go SMS

Anyone get Light Flow and Go SMS working together? I can't get the notification LED to work whether it's using GO SMS's built in "blinking LED" function or using Light Flow.
When attempting to use light flow, I turn off the "blinking LED" option in Go SMS. I've also tried using the alternate monitoring options.
Still not working.
EDIT: Well, I ended up uninstalling Light Flow. Notification light works again. I just can't customize the LED color. Guess I'll have to wait until Light Flow gets updated to work with the S III.
Also, even though Go SMS "blink LED" works, the color settings are messed up. The color you pick doesn't correlate to what shows up. Must be an app issue as well. But hey, at least it works.

Does the LED actually blink for you albeit with effed up colours? Cause it doesn't blink for me, just stays one solid messed up colour.

It stays solid just like you said.

Then it goes the exact opposite of mine. Mine blinks for text notifications, and stays solid for others.

Hes working on the app to address issues with lightflow an the gs3

Both my and my dad's sgh-i747 displays the wrong led colour.
Blue comes out as red, green as magenta, etc.
I'm starting to think its a problem with all north American versions of the.phone? My friends with the i9300 don't have this problem!

Yeah the hex codes are all messed up in the NA version, so regardless of what program you are setting the colors with they're almost opposite. Yellow = White from my experience if anyone wants white haha

I'm so glad this got brought up, but it's a shame nobody's found a fix yet. It's such a subtle, yet mindblowingly irritating thing. Mine is sold red, no matter what I change in both the system LED settings, or the GoSMS settings. I haven't bothered with LightFlo, since everyone reported the mis-representation of color changes in the settings.

If your on a twiz rom the colors are gonna be all messed up. For example if you use light flow to change the color of the led you'll notice that the color you set it to be is not the color it is. This is an os problem. If you flash a stock android based rom like cm9 cm10 or aokp they will be fixed.

Now this is some handy info. Does this apply to someone having CM9 or 10 AND GoSMS as well?

Light Flow

Are there any similar apps to light flow? I was using it for awhile and I realized how quickly it was eating my battery.
Any suggestions?

Try light manager yet? Seems to do the same, also seems to work for our version of the S3 as well.

Good luck!

I'll try it out and see how it goes! Thanks for the suggestion!

Only blue/green/red seem to work.
Are the US S3s still screwy with the leds ?
I can get light manager and handcent to display some what different colors but all still have mostly blue tones. Handcent wont work at all except under "test".

I read somewhere that the leds between the different carriers is set up differently, like the AT&T version is different from Sprint.

Did you have the "always on" option checked for light flow? The option which allows the light to be on whilst the screen is on? If so that uses a wake lock. Without that checked my phone slept.
But on a second note...
Anyone know how to get custom durations set up for light flow?

You can try an AOKP ROM, they work fine on them.

I'm using light Flow as well and I have noticed that my battery doesn't last as long. I think it's very customizable, I have different colors for different people when they text me. Different colors for apps as well.
But I think my LED light might be defective. When I set a light color (green, white, yellow, orange) sometimes the color shows, but it also shows a red spot on the LED.
Is that standard with LED'S or is mine defective?

I'm not really sure about the red spot, but I noticed that on my phone as well. So far my only complaint about light manager is that it's not as customizable as light flow. I do prefer light flow, but I like having that little bit of extra juice at the end of the day.

by red spot, if you mean you can see what looks to Jr like the red led is lit, then it's normal. In order to make certain colors, the red led must be on. There are a total of three leds. Red, green, and blue. And when you have "white" selected as the color, all three led lights are illuminated. It's really weired when you think about it. But physics says when those three colors of light pass over each other, white light is seen.

Well that's why. Cause you have all led lights glowing, and the red sticks out. You can actually see all of them if you look closely

To all of you who say liteflow kills your battery, does it show up in battery usage under settings? Mine has never appeared under there. Also, do you all have it flash fast, medium, or stay on? I have it under stay on as it says it is better for battery life.

If it's using a wakelock it won't appear there, you'll have to use a battery monitor app. But why would you set it to stay on when stock it flashes without killing battery? A lot of apps have custom settings for the led. Lightflow is pointless. It's supposed to be "customizeable" but if you have to set it to "stay on" then it's not customizeable. I tried to use it but my light got all screwy. It's really not needed for cm10 and alike builds.

If it's super heavy usage it'll show up in the settings. I use system panel to keep track of my app usage, stats, and all that fun stuff. It does use more battery than light manager does that's for sure.

It keeps the phone awake after first notification that's why it drains battery. Still waiting for a fix...

Is this applications will work on S3 International LED notifications while screen is ON ??
