its mainly with sms apps like handcent and go sms. although handcent tried to fix it they made it much worse and the frequency of which the led blinks is very slow. my question now is does anyone know of a good led control program or anyway to fix the led to make it blink regularly
Light flow from the play store. Has a lot of options. Hope this helps.

tried it already sorry forgot to mention i tried all the led programs in market and none worked. they showed a diffrent color from which i set and it wouldnt blink with light flow it would stay solid until i deactivated it
Has anyone played with the hex #'s to figure out at least the basic colors? I've been able tlbmske red, white, and some pinkish color on go SMS using the hex sliders but since the colors don't match anything its like a guessing/trial and error game.

llol then you see what i mean. neither handcent nor go sms does the led correctly. handncent doesnt even let you choose a color anymore just to try and fix it with s3. ive tried all combonations of the sliders and market apps none of them work correctly with s3
I've done my research and it seems the led drivers and such on the two gs3 are screwed up. This is something Samsung has to fix with the next update. For now we are left with the random colors lol. It's annoying I know.
On go SMS I was able to create purple, green, red, yellow, and white. A long with some pinkish color. Other than that this Sucks haha.

Yes, there is a bug with the US GS3s. I wasn't able to get any third party to blink but you can use this list for now to get the color you want.
Light flow developers are working on a solution for their app but will require root access looks like it is in beta now.
good to know light flow is trying to fix and im rooted so no problem there.

Well if your rooted you can just get apps to control the blinking and color.

Can you change it to any color? Say like green and pink if you are rooted?

You can only use colors we have LED's for:
Blue
Red
A weird purple-ish color when both are on at once.

Nothing blinks for me, I have handcent installed, and I can set it to red or blue, and it won't show. Its only on when charging. Super annoying.

Mine blinks but I'm rooted so either yours is broke or handcent sux.

Hey guys. So when I use the app "lightflow" I am able to get the led to be pink when I am charging the phone if I use direct mode and select purple. I can only make it work with the charging led and not SMS or anything. Whatsapp also blinks pink on its own. Does anyone know how I can just make it pink all the time? I know I am the only one who would want this but I thought I would just ask. LOL.

Not sure how to do it for all notifications, but you can use Handcent SMS and pick green for led color to set texts to magenta or "pink"

Awesome. Thanks.
The reason I apologized is because sometimes I see people go off over stuff and I don't want to be gone off on. Lol.

Awesome, wish there were more colors available that work though.

I've run through all the different combinations of settings in Lightflow (free version) can't see to get the light to be pink for any notifications
There's another program out there called Blink that also controls LEDs. Has anyone had any luck with Blink and getting the pink LED to light (blue LED + red LED).

I use handcent SMS for texts and if you tell it to use green it will be pink but you have to turn lightflow off for texting. At the moment my gmail notification flashes blue and pink. I love that.

I used a LED test app to see what colors would work and the colors were all off. I press the blue button and my red LED turns on. Green turns on like a weird blue Magenta.
I'm curious if anyone else has this problem or if there's a better app out there for testing (I've tried light flow, blink, and LED test)

Yeah, it's a known issue that all the color signal are screwed up. I believe this is an OS problem and using a non-touchwiz ROM like CM9 or CM10 would fix the issue.
Mine good.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
i can confirm after having the issue with the stock rom, once i flashed to cm10 the led colors corrected themselves.
The developer for light flow had already escalated this to Samsung engineering. Touchwhiz screwed up the codes used to change the LED colors. That's why flashing a non Touchwhiz rom fixes it. We just have to wait for Samsung to issue an update or for Light Flow to figure out a workaround.

The lightflow Known Issues page has the best map of the color I have seen. It's about halfway down the page.
Thank you for that... i love how samsung always seems to jumble something lol

I'm using cm10 and almost all the colors didn't work, whatever color I chose it showed up red except for magenta color and purple the rest showed up as red led's

Is there a way to change the notification led when i get a message or missed call? Ive tied light flow and other apps buy nothing works. Btw my OG is reported
SPRINT has a habbit of having their phones built with 2 color LED's red/green. The Nexus has multis but I believe we got left out of the fun with our OG's. Maybe somebody else knows other wise but I have been unsuccesful and am sure this is the case
My HTC Hero had a single (white) color roller ball but other heros built for other companies had the multi color rollers for instance.

I mentioned this same problem earlier. No fix that I can find, though I'd definitely throw some $ towards someone finding a way to make the notification led flash faster, even if it requires root

I got the LED to blink alot.
Rooted with esFileExplorer
Open /system/etc/system.xml
Change notification_light_pulse from 0 to 1.
Save.

I tried that before, didn't seem to work with texts/email notifications. Still around 30 seconds.
Yes it speeds up charging notifications. The rest are still slow
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Yea, it would be nice to find a way to speed up the blink frequency without rooting or anything.
OK, might sound like a dumb question. I know the standard LED notification light location. But yesterday I noticed another faint red glowing from the circle close to the speaker (right). I was able to replicated when I opened the messaging app. If I selected I conversation it would glow faint red, and when I backed out to the message list it would disappear. What the hay is that light for?
