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.

Did you go into accessibility and enable light flow there?

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.

Solid LED: text notification
Blinking LED: General notifications, ie gmail
for social networks, facebook, ect, idk, since I don't use them

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?

[Q] Permanent LED light

Hey guys, I would love to set the notification LED light to be permanent (not blink like as default). Anyone knows if this is possible?
Thanks in advance.

You mean Always On?
Not sure which Android version/ROM your running but guessing if the feature is not built-in under display settings then you'll just need to use an app from the play store eg. Light flow LED controls

I mean permanetly on till I see the notification (unblock the phone and see a whatsapp message, as a example).

Anyone?

As isajoo said, Light Flow is an app that does what you are requesting.

You turned off the screen when you test with LightFlow? You allowed downloaded apps in the LED settings of the system?

Notification LED customization app? LightFlow not working

Hi all~
Just got my 5T yesterday, but it seems that LightFlow is not working properly to control the notification LED.
Anyone figure out how to set it up to work or is there any other good alternative to customize the notification LED?

Have you not tried the built-in LED color customization? Just wondering.

It's still very similar to what I got from my OnePlus 3, not so customizable.
I prefer per app notification LED customization.

The in-built LED control is absolutely inferior compared with what you can achieve with an app like LightFlow, which allows you to customize the LED color and blinking pattern on an per-app basis. It is even possible to have the LED circle through different colors if there are multiple notifications.
@J12894 Can you describe what exactly does not work on our 5T?

The LED just wont work according to my setting. It will simply "eat" the notification, and don't show any LED.
The notification will show up and then disappear. And I am sure it is "eaten" by LightFlow as if I disable it, there is no such issue.
When I tried "All enabled LEDs Test", with some setting, it will either not show any LED or just show the blue color.

I'm using Light Manager Pro and it seems to be working correctly.

+1 for Light Manager

Im having no problems with light flow. I am using legacy mode, though

I want to use lightmanager too but when I test the notification it show "You must unlock screen to allow led notification" but my screen is unlock because I'm set light manager.
What is wrong.

Hit ok, then press the power button. It should take like two or three seconds for the color to show up in the notification LED. It's just to test what you set up.
Then unlock your screen again and set up the next one.

Thanks

I got BlinkerLED working without any problems.

I am using Light Manager, but I am unable to adjust the blinking speed. So it's always the same, no matter what I select.
Not that it's a huge issue, but would like to know if that's adjustable.

Speed cant be controlled on OnePlus devices as you can do it on Note 8 or S8, I dunno why its so weird though!
