I'm using the full version of lightflow, and I've set it up so when it's on charge I get a constant red light. When I test the notification its works perfectly, I get a solid red light.
However, when I actually put it on charge, the red flashes at the start then nothing. Any help?

Open lite flow app
Goto general settings
Scroll down to enable charge settings and untick it.
Default is to turn off notifications while charging..... just sorted it for myself

I had that option unticked already. I ended up clearing the data for the app and set the notification again it worked
What's your set up like?
Mine is :
Green flash for missed calls and texts
Blue flash for emails
Red flash for low battery
Orange solid for charging
Green solid for charged
Yellow flash for ebay
White flash for sport score updates

Yeah, I used handcent for a while on my previous phone, so I always stick with blue for sms.
It was also an HTC, so green for email seems natural to me.
Then I just chose red for missed calls. (nice RGB combo )
I use cnstant on, no flash, for all notifications, cycling multiple on a medium pace, so I can easily see anything important at a glance... flashing individual notifications seems a bit of a waste, and distracting.
I did set up orange for charging, and white for fully charged, but was a little shocked waking up last night to see the white notification actually lights up the room pretty well.... so I think I might change fully charged notification to a slightly less intrusive colour
I'd recommend green for fully charged, I think it makes the most sense

Hi all, I've just missed called my gn phone to check how the led notifications are working, I see no led notification at all, no led lights anywhere on the phone to let me know I have a missed call? Is there something I need to set up, thanks

Check your notification settings
There is also an option "pulse notification light" in Display settings.
i have the same problem.
i have ticked the option "pulse notification light" in Display settings but th eLED doesnt flash after receiving a miscall. i waited a few mins and still nothing.
i know the LED works because it flashes while the caller is calling, but just switches off after the caller hangs up.
is there another notification setting for this other than the one in Display Settings?
The notification LED has been implemented pretty badly natively. In addition to not appearing very consistently it also only flashes white. Look for the app Light Flow on the market and use that instead.

Thanks Chrono.
I just saw the Light Flow app recommended on the other LED notifications thread and tried it, and it works well!
But yes i agree its seems a pretty sloppy implementation by default, i hope it gets fixed in a software update, although i probably wont be moving away from light flow with all the extra control you get with it
I have light flow, and when my screen shuts off, the LED light keeps blinking (white.) Any idea how to make this stop?

Well... my solution was to uninstall it.
Basically I found that while Light Flow was pretty neat, I was getting quite a few random notifications (i.e. LED flashing but no notifications in the bar) that would only stop after rebooting.
Eventually I got fed up with it and removed the app. Shame.

Hey, I would try clearing the apps data or a reinstall to see if that fixes it. I am using it the past two months and never had an issue. Good luck.
Check your lightflow notification settings and see which notification is set to flash white. If it's SMS or email, make sure that you don't just clear the notifications by just swiping it off the drop down menu but actually go into the apps and mark them as read. Otherwise lightflow will still detect them as unread and notify you.
If none of the notifications are set to flash white then you might have not set lightflow up properly. Go to your accessibility settings and make sure that lightflow is enabled. If that doesn't fix it uninstall and reinstall the app.

Never had any issues with Light Flow, but don't use sleep mode as an LED blinking when on charge isn't going to wake me up (AudioGuru mutes sound on sleep profile, mind)
Ultimately if you're having issues get in touch with the developer as only they can fix the issue
Disable the notifications for anything that is set to use the White color. It should solve the problem. You most likely have the notification set to only clear when you enter the application. I personally prefer to clear it when my screen turns on because if my screen has turned on, then I have already "checked" the notification and don't need that light continuously flashing.
Phantom notifications has long been an android problem. Its not light flow specific

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.

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.

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?
Hey guys,
Ever since ICS update, the charging LED completely overrides all notification LEDs.
I used to have k9mail LED color set to white which results in the LED blinking red whenever a new email arrives. This works perfectly fine if the phone is not being charged and this also worked before ICS but this no longer works.
Anyone else notice this with their E4GT?
Thanks
My notification light has never worked except while charging it glows red, blue when full then unplug and sometimes it stays red

Yeah this beg has been there since the early leaks, Samsung screwed us on that one and I guess Sprint never made it a priority to fix. This works in aokp though so I figure it also works in cm9 and other aosp roms.
I don't even use the leds they just blink and drain the battery. I have them disabled for everything including charging. You can't see it blink in your pocket so all its doing is wasting your battery as it blinks away unattended and it has notifications and vibration to alert you to an incoming message. No real point in having sound, vibration, an icon and a light for a notification. Plus ICS doesn't handle the LEDs properly and they keep the SoC from going into deepsleep causing excessive battery drain. You use less battery to click the screen on and look for an icon than you do with the LED blinking til you check it anyways.

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...
