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.

Only time I've seen that on my phone it was caused by the Liteflow app. Not sure if it was ever addressed but did you have an led control app installed at any point?

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.

Or check to see if app was fixed and reinstall it. Configure it, then uninstall. It could help....maybe.

Actually you're better off just installing one of the newer modems. They fix that problem. UVLI6 or 7 and you're peachy keen. After the nandroid backup of course

Really? I find that surprising since the modem is independant from the rest of the system. But hey, if it works for that, great!
OP, if you try this let us know if it fixed yours please.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
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.
Edit: Here is Doc's thread.

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.
I'm on a version of LH2 and am using LI7 modem.
The led lights are being changed as the code is being updated.
Wish I knew more.
But, seems to be the case

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.

New modem did not fix me issue
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.

My phone never vibrates, ever! I'm currently running TNZ Blend 2.6.0 with Rouge "Gunslinger" kernel, and ICS for Blend theme. I've gone to menu> sound> vibrate and selected always and played with settings in all of my apps. Not even haptic feedback is working. Nothing is working. Trying to find out if the problem is in a setting I'm not looking at, or a mod in the ROM. Hoping I don't have a bad motor.
Someone please help!

Probably the motor like you think. Another guy had reported the same thing in the first couple pages on the blend thread. Read through it and see if its the same.
Try going back to stock ROM, and tell me how that works? Second, the others may be right...your vibrate motor could be shot...but I doubt it...

I'm going to check it out, just reverted to an old backup of another ROM and vibration works so, I know its not the motor now. Its either the ROM or something in my settings.
Going to try a data wipe to see if that helps.
OK, I wiped everything and flashed Blend v1.4, re-flashed v1.6.0 and everything seems to be running fine now.
Not sure where the problem came from, must have just been a bad flash. Well, if nothing else, maybe this thread will be helpful to someone else.

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.

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.

Yes there is a very easy fix! Delete or rename these:

/system/recovery-from-boot.p
Now reinstall your preferred recovery and reboot.

Go into your settings, pull your notifications down half way then swipe them back up. The screen should flicker black.

Yup, I'm also seeing a small flicker as well. I couldn't get it reproduced every time, but if I played around with the notification pull down about half way and then swiped them back up, the screen does flicker black.
Is it only from settings that you see this? I tried from my home screen, and I didn't see any flicker.
EDIT: If I go only 1/3 of 1/4 of the way with the pull down in Settings, I can reproduce the flicker every time I believe.

It happens in all apps except the homescreen. For me, it does not matter if you pull it 1/3 or 1/4 or 1/2 or all the way down... the chance of it flickering when you drag it back up is about 20%
edit: I have the 9/30/12 nightly build installed. The flickering is not an issue for me and I use this ROM as my daily driver.

I just updated my phone yesterday, and im having two issues. The main issue is the flasshing red boarder around the entire screen the appears mostly when switching apps, going home, and turning on/off. It even happens during the boot-up.
Second, my keyboard is lagging. I have all of the "feedback" features turned off and it still does it. No 3rd party boards installed. I really like the new keyboard and I wont have some third party app developers recording every keystroke.

It was a dubuging feature turned on.
4.1 is available OTA for AT&T right now.
I dont know when it became available, but its really nice. I use adw pro launcher always on all my android devices so I dont get the full experience of 4.1. I really love what they did with the keyboard and the dropdown, but I really wish they kept the data switch there.
My battery life is not as good anymore though...
