Notification LED not working at all.

The title pretty much says it all. It was working fine last week, then out of the blue, it stopped. It doesn't blink with any notifications (sms, Google voice, emails, etc.) and doesn't turn red while charging (with the phone on and off.)
I tried some "LED color" whatever app off the play store to test it; no luck. I tried a few other apps that let you test out notifications (go sms, sms popup,) and made sure the light was either red or blue, but that didn't work either. I have no task killers.
I said, "well, I might as well Odin back to stock..bhfuedjejudhfrdhxbwysu" and I did. I reflashed cleanGB with the cleanGB kernel. No dice.
Are there any other ways to get it to work? Its annoying cause I don't know when my phone is finished charging or if I get a text. Thanks.

Was it working on stock? If not then it is a hardware issue.

It wasn't working on stock either. I've honestly only dropped my phone about 3 times since I've bought it (around mid-2010, I believe.)
I was thinking that it might be that I leave it charging overnight & the LED stays on for whatever time I sleep. Maybe it might blown out something in there. You think that might be a problem?
I just want to know for my future phones.

LEDs can go bad my man. That's most likely what happened IMO.

Damn, that sucks. All good things must come to an end. Well, I'll check to see if the warranty I bought from Best Buy still covers the phone.
Thanks a lot for the quick replies, guys.

She's lying lol

Sounds to me like the problem is on her end not yours.
If texting everyone else works fine except for texting to her.....

It's either a problem on her end or plain and simple she's lying. If you really want to get to the bottom of it, next time you're with her send her a text and look at her phone that's the best answer anyone can give you. If she really does not get the message the problem is on her end.

I've seen similar things happen, seemed to be a network problem, account problem or phone not checking in type of problem.
Has it continued since she got all the back texts all at once? Does she receive texts from other people or miss those too?
First try a simple reboot if you haven't already. Send her a text and if she doesn't get it have her toggle airplane mode on/off. Try with wifi calling on and off.
Back up contacts and messages and in Application Management clear cache and data on contacts, dialer storage, dialer, and messaging.
It'd be strange for the battery to cause that, but put the old one back in and test it out.
If her phone is rooted, make a nandroid. Try a different modem. Try clear dalvik, cache and if needed data/factory reset.
If all fails call tmobile and ask to reprovision the account.
Good luck!

Did you try adding just in delivery reports for sms and mms?
Also is this intra or inter carrier. That can cause a delay as well.

Help please!

Every time I accidentally add a widget to my home screen like picture frame or flip board medium, it highly lags my fps. From 60 to 3 even after removing it, restarting my phone, and clearing ram and ending all active apps. Someone help me? I've already factory reset 3 times because of this very annoying bug

Half of you are developers and don't know how to fix this one thing? =(

what u might wanna do is download voltage control and see if it isnt effecting ure speeds performance, alot has to do with overclocking and upscaling and downscaling when u do roms specially if uve installed kernels with OC on it. make sure that settings are corect, like governor section is to this category
500000 SA
90-95 for UP
10 DD
4 SDF
0 for both INL and PB
1 to IIB thats normal upscaling to governor
also make sure that ure settings arent set to low other then ondemand, or powersave, best once that seem to help are ondemand and msm-dcvs if voltage supports it. second section should be at cfq.
, if that doesnt fix it, u might wanna try a different rom if that doesnt fixes the problem, other whize u gonna have to odin back to stock do a factory reset from ure phone not the CWM do it 2 or 3 times, and re-try again and see if that fixs it.
Im not a dev so im not a pure expert at this but i go by how my phone functions with every rom i flash and the performance it gives, ive found both Phantom blaze and paranoid android roms seem to be the best for me. i switch back and forth to each other because i like the phablet mode on paranoid, and smooth and impressive battery life saver on phantoms. No kernels, other then what already comes with, except for the 2100mhz load krnel that supports for paranoid android,. seriously battery killer thought if u OC it to 2100.

either u might have a faulty GS3 or ure software installation went utterly wrong while updating and messed up somewhere in the middle of the installation. did u get it updated already or did u get it when it was using lg2 modem?
if u got it with the LG8 modem, try odin it back to LG2 or lower, and update from there, see if that helps.
u dont need to worry bout ure flash count going up because samsung software doesnt count on ure flash count no matter how many times u flash the Stock modem.

Um idk what that means. All I know is I have everything updated via updates and every S3 does this if it's stock. This is my second and it does it to. Set the picture frame widget or flip board widget medium to your home screen then do a nenamark

humm,...couldnt tell yah, if uve never rooted ure phone and are using stock software u might have a faulty gs3 with faulty software, ive never had my gs3 mess up on me on stock rom before i rooted. Ive had my GS3 non-rooted for about 3 weeks updated and all and no issues, no slow downs, only issues ive had was 1: my friend breaking my phone, 2 battery life, and not being able to store ure apps to ure sd card, all which was an easy fix with rooting and making my buddy get me a new phone.

Seriously? You are really asking this? Wow, unbelievable

Well I would personally think there's someone who knows how to fix this.. visually there's no difference. But after nenamark once I remove the widget I drop to 30 fps. And it stays that way. My thought is that it is locked into some sort of cache that I have to manually delete or clear for it to be like it never was added to home screen

Its like it was mention above, there really isnt anything any of the devs can do, if ure not rooted, and ure arent operating under a custom rom, ure pretty much using stock base software which only has to do with normal built development done by samsung, they should be ones u should be contacting not the devs here.......they only deal with phones with root and custom roms to make the phone better. Now u could try rooting ure phone and installig a custom rom to see if that does fix the problem, in most cases like ures, only thing to do is take it in to a sprint store and have it inspect or do it ureself odin it with a earlier version of modem, best 1 would be LG2 modem and update from there and see if that changes anything, i can garante u if u do take it to sprint they might charge u to inspect it again, and all they gonna do is odin ure phone from an earlier versions.

I'll have to add this to my list of rude things that shouldn't be said in a developers forum. We're not Samsung or Sprint customer service. We are people with lives, families, jobs, and other responsibilities. If you want help, this isn't the way to get it.

If you're stock non-rooted, then after a factory reset, there's nothing you could have done to mess this up.
If you go to a sprint store, they can reflash your stock software and see if that fixes the issue. It takes about 3 minutes, and in my experience, they've been very courtesy and helpful.

Try opening the settings>apps>launcher and clearing the cache and deleting the launchers data.
Widgets are stored in the launcher apps data, so clearing these values should put you back to default settings.

GS3 randomly freezing/shutting down

Hey ive had my gs3 since release, but pass couple of days it has froze up , once while just letting it sit and when I went to pick up screen would not come on , it wouldnt even do anything when I plugged charger to it, so I did battery pull and it turned back on like normal, fast forward to today was on phone with wife and noticed the screen would light up but was still able to talk on it, so got off phone and did battery pull again, and powered back on, so does anyone know what could be causing it to do that? And its not rooted.

Rogue app hopefully. Otherwise it could be a hw problem.
If you can, backup your stuff and factory reset (itll wipe int sd too). Then run as bare as you can (no/few apps) to see if it still happens.

Is this happening to you?

So, i love my note 3, so far. I rooted and installed Ds rom and l love it. Everything works perfectly, except for one thing my display is auto brightness itself!! I have auto brightness off, I have dynamic mode checked, and smart screen setting turn off.
Every time I start to play need of speed most wanted, it starts to auto bright itself!! :banghead:
Check out download the game and see if it happens to you!

It happens on mine too. It's a Touchwiz thing because it also happened on my S4. But once I installed CM10 on it that issue went away. I know it's annoying.

Theres nothing you can do about it , its a feature in the kernel called brite and it happened on the S4 also. A dev is gonna have to make a kernel with it disabled. Its there so when the phone gets warm or hot it dims the screen automatically until phone cools back down and then full brightness comes back. There have been a couple threads on this already and i even took my first Note back and exchanged it and the second one does it too. Its software related hopefully samsung will release an update to take this feature out

Yeah i unchecked everything and anything that had to do with auto-brightness and it seems to happen less now. Its just annoying i think its also in there to help preserve battery life but i bought this phone for the big bright screen hopefully a DEV will fix it with a custom stock kernel

I think that's good news about my phone. I thought my was defective or something like that...
I did try lux and a brighter note apps, to see if that would fix the issue, but it didn't.

Yep it's normal. Nothing you can do except keep the temp under 90F. LOL I went crazy trying to figure it out myself. Once the temp gets over 90 for me, it starts auto dimming even with everything disabled for auto-screen brightness.
