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.

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.

Phone have been freezing on me lately some apps freeze n dont open at all i even kill them wit task manager included on the phone and i also clear the ram to refresh the apps n that doesnt fix it , and yesterday my phone totally froze when i went to my text message and slide the contact make a call but the phone froze on the call screen n had to do a battery pull to fix it. n the weird thing too is that i had 60% before i pull the battery n after i did that i restart the phone n the battery was down to 25% witch it was weird.
My question here is that i brought this phone from ebay BRAND NEW SEAL N EVRYTHING. phone didnt have this problem the first two weeks it work perfect n now its happening every other day where it freezes, where its getting annoying. if i take it to sprint will they replace it for me n give me a new one...
Not sure if its the device i have that is the problem..because i seriously dont wanna keep it if its stays this way i spend to much money for this.. (And by the way im stock not rooted)

Since Sprint is regularly checking these threads to see what bugs are still left, we should put them all in one thread so they don't have to browse so much.
Current newest release is FF18
To further simplify their search, if you have a bug report start your reply with whichever leak you're running.

Reporting a bug from any of these bugs can still be useful in case it has not been dealt with in the newer leaks.
Edit: if you're not running a samsung leak but a custom FExx based ROM, please point that out...

I cannot get Hotmail through the included email application, it just spins and spins trying to retrieve email.
On the plus side my GPS has never been better...
It seems snappy enough and don't see any scrolling issues.

The email notification ICONs are not being released once the email message has been opened. I have seen this with exchange, gmail and K9. All of which i use on my E4GT.

This is a screen issue. My phone was having the same problems - I thought it was only on ICS builds but I restored to GB and it continued to do it. I took it in to Sprint and they replaced the screen and I haven't had a problem since.
#fe16bug - when a bookmark widget is applied, if you clear RAM it also removes the widget
#fe16bug - notification light does not pulsate while charging
#fe16bug - if you hit snooze on the stock alarm app, alarm will not go back off
#fe16bug - when using a voice search app such as the preinstalled "Voice Talk", the voice prompt will be cut off early.
#FE14 When using 3g on the browser or any app that uses date (ie. Ebay app, XDA, facebook) the menu button is getting phanton hits. The menu screen for the app just keeps opening and closing. It makes the phone unusable sometimes as it is so constant. The phone also vibrates as if you hit the button.
This has appeared in multiple version and I haven't tested it yet on FE16.
Fe14, fe10, fe07
FE07 and 10 under my normal use consumed 3% to 4% of the battery per hour. Which is equal/slightly better than the stock GB. FE14 consumes 8% to 9% per hours of the battery doing the same things. Flashed both the No-Data, and the Full reset, and the figures are the same. I am back to FE10, will hold off on FE16 until I get more information.

Are you guys talking about this? I have had it since launch day of this phone when I am about to lose signal altogether. I posted it in sfhub's thread. Now I need to catch a logcat ...

I've never had it, and it occurs with full signal. I read the previous posts about what you describe, but figured since I had strong signal it was worth mentioning.
I probably should have included that in post.

This has been pretty much been the most frustrating update process of my 4 Android devices that I have owned.
Hoping some of the sharp people here can help me out.
Buttons Not Working - About every third or fourth time I wake my phone my physical buttons do not work. I have to put the phone to sleep and re-wake (sometimes multiple times) to get my phone's buttons to work.
Excessive Battery Drain - Yikes!!! I have uninstalled all my apps, and it is still occurring. Any other ideas to figure out what might be causing this?
Constant 3G data movement - When wi-fi is off, my phone is constantly pushing 3g data up and down....non-stop!
Excessive Phone Heat - My phone is running like a furnace.
Now, I think the last three are probably connected in some way.

I am glad I am not the only ones with these problems.
It has to be a ICS function that is causing the excessive battery drain.
I currently have no non stock apps installed.
I have noticed that the battery ran from 100% to 25% but battery drain had no slowed considerably....maybe faulty logic in how they are calculating percentages?
The one I would really like to solve is the buttons not working, as there will be lots of battery related threads as more and more people upgrade.

The malfunctioning buttons have been happening to some of us on every ROM, whether it's Gingerbread or ICS. It happens to mine on stock GB or stock I'VE.
Just so you know, you can tap the volume Roche to wake up the buttons. You don't have to cycle the screen. Tap the volume button, wait second or so and you will see the capacitive buttons blink once... That means they've reset. Sometimes you have to do it twice.

Not everyone's issue is going to be caused by the same thing. What may work for you may not always work for everyone else. It may be an app or ICS in general causing the issue.

When I got my GS3 it had an issue where the LED wouldnt blink, just stayed lit. TMobile sent an update not long after that fixed it. Worked fine for the last 2 months. Rooted last night and the LED issue is back. Lights up but doesnt blink. stays solid. Root+CWM+SU and busy box. Nothing else.
Help? I searched and read some others but they weren't quite issues like mine so I apologize if this has been addressed already.
What version OS are you on? Meaning LH2, LEM,..
Also when you say it just stays on, is that after you receive a message or when plugged in. Is the screen on while it is lit up? Have you double checked the LED settings after you rooted? Maybe they got un/ticked somehow.
The LED lights up and stays lit, does not blink. Other than that its normal. Happens for any notification that would have made it blink previously. Settings are per app and havent changed (Go SMS, facebook, facebook messenger, etc) Screen doesnt come on improperly or anything like that. The LED is constant when it should blink.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I believe I did, for a short time, months ago. But it was long ago removed.
It may have screwed with some settings that you didn't notice, but when you updated they carried over but caused some sort of conflict....hard to say for sure. I would create a nandroid backup, backup your int sdcard, and do a factory reset. (If you don't have stock recovery it won't wipe internal sd, but if you still have issues go in recovery and format data.)
Then restore the data portion only of your nandroid. If it comes back you will have to either deal with it or start from scratch.

Man its been a long time since I played in recovery I think Ill look for that new modem...
Doc has a thread in the Dev section that has all the modems and a maps in post#2 that will tell you where people are getting best data and with what modem.
Although I doubt a modem swap will fix it, I am interested to see. Maybe check in the GoSMS app and see if there are any settings for notification options that are over-riding stock settings.

You can use any1 one of them as long as it is aTMO modem. When I was on FrostyJB I used H2 modem which is ICS with no problems.

Yup. Originally it was coded differently than was expected, as normally done in the past. I know it was being worked on on the liteflow app and heard Sammy was going to do something about it too, but I never kept up with it.

So wait.. whos issue is this sammy or the devs ?
Strictly hardware...is the phone capable of true RGB variances in light ? All I see is Blue/Green/Red any other color is some weird mix where Blue is still too prominent.
Are there any custom ROMs where the LEDs function as normal and 3rd party apps can control as expected ?
Its a Samsung issue. If I remember right it was only on the US variants (or maybe just ours?).
Its just the way it was coded. I guess they never got it fixed either on the light flow side or Samsung side? I stopped keeping up with the progress a while back.

On that note, when video advertisements come on if you turn the screen off it skips the advertisement.

Ok guys, this is really stupid but I just figured this out. I feel like a total Herb for not noticing this earlier.
Open Pandora and go to the Settings tab. Go to Advanced. Put a check in the "Conserve battery" check box. Hit back. That's it. The screen will turn off on its own now.
I don't know why this option automatically changed itself in the new version of Pandora, but checking that box lets my screen auto shut off now.
Good lord.
