I love the led notification, nothing like waking up in the middle of the night and looking over and knowing you don't have any notifications because the light isn't going off... but when I don't need a flashlight BECAUSE it's going off it gets annoying... I wanna be able to go to sleep if I'm ignoring it; yet have it there to know I have things to look at.
(first world problem I know)

Just turn it off???
Sure its nice to know if you have a message from afar but really? One of the first things I did when I got my GS3 and Note 2 was go into settings/display/LED Indicator/and unselect all boxes.
i don't think you can lower the intensity, but you can turn off the notifications and us an app called NoLED. it puts a notification on your screen instead. since OLED only lights up the active pixels the drain should be any more than the notification light. i use it with my sammy droid charge that has no notification lights.
Why not just go into settings and turn on Blocking Mode?
You can set the time frame it's active. It can keep led off, notifications, phone calls etc. You can change the settings for it.

I tried it the other night and it worked. I set the time and features I wanted blocked. Worked out fine from my little test.

From what I know, it remains in the notification panel, as long as Blocking is turned on.

Is the screen brightness supposed to drastically change when auto brightness is enable. I've been playing around with it and noticed that when auto brightness is enable the screen will drastically change in different lighting conditions (with a couple second delay) For example, ill walk into a darker room the screen will get a lot dimmer after a couple of seconds and v-versu. The reason I asked is that my eco 4g would gradually adjust to point t where I didn't even notice.

I've noticed it rapidly changing like it can't decide a few times, and overall it's a bit too dim outdoors. Coming from an Evo as well and I never noticed it changing either.
Just going to keep an eye on it, not a huge issue for me. Might see if there's any way to override and manually specify the auto brightness thresholds.
There's a second setting called "Auto adjust screen power" further down on the display page - it could be that. It's some sort of thing that analyzes what's actually on the screen and tries to adjust for it.
I think it may just be a samsung thing. I have a Galaxy Tab 7" and I noticed that it was doing this as well, and it drove me crazy. I just went into settings>display>brightness and turned it down manually to just under halfway indoors and if I know Im going outside, i turn it all the way up.
Ive also noticed thst it was auto adjusting even when i had it disabled which was probablt the "power adjustment" thing... But once i caught it turning the brightness down to "prevent overheating"!?

Really?! Thats bizarre. I wonder if it will constantly have the screen down while wireless tether is running.

Thanks. I also have auto adjust disabled. Since others are seeing it then I assume its a Samsung thing. Ill wait to see if others confirm. BTW this may just be me being a geek. I notice every little thing. The other is that the buttons at the bottom of the phone aren't as sensitive as the eco.

A tip I read somewhere but haven't tried yet is to turn auto brightness off and when you do, hold down on the notification bar (don't pull it down, just hold a finger on it) and slide left or right to adjust brightness on the go. Not for sure if it works but give it a try (I'm chargin my phone while it's off now so I can't yet).

Can't remember anymore besides the screen shot one which has been mentioned. Tap home and the power button simultaneously. Also can't remember where I read it.

I would honestly say its a combination of things BC I have used roms where its totally obvious (on froyo) where on others its completely impossible to notice the change.

I've had the brightness at the max, and turned off the Auto Adjust Screen Power option. Just while browsing XDA the screen dimmed, and when looking at the brightness setting it states "To avoid overheating, maximum brightness has been reduced.". This has happened at least three different times.
I'm hoping this isn't a serious issue. Have you had it do that multiple times for you as well?
Is there any way to keep the LED blinking or stay lit when the screen is on?
I'm thinking you can with light flow in certain situations, but to better understand your question, why would you want to?

Agreed that lightflow can do that for you. I just love the app now that I have a phone with led notification again

Keeping the led on kinda beats the point of using led notif..

To keep the LED on while the screen is on AOKP 26 has this built in. Have not seen any other wat to do it though.

Why I have it is when I get a text I don't remember when I'm watching videos till I see it blinking and remember. Comes in handy some points.

Then light flow will work. There's an option to have the light turn off only after the specified app is entered.

I'm running Neutrino mod and have tried lightflow. But the LED only blinks if the screen is off. I have found no function to keep it on. am I missing something?

I haven't found an option like that either. I think our only option right now is to use AOKP or try and figure out how they are implementing it and make an app of our own.
As for those of you asking why you would want this, the answer in my case is full-screen apps that hide the notification bar. I have AOKP and was happy to be able to turn this feature on.

The notification light in Gnex is one of my favourite options in the phone. Some ROMs provide full customization of the notification light ( ex. Paranoid android) . I've set it to flash blue for missed calls , yellow for SMS, green for whatsapp and red for tango
It only lights up when the screen is off?

The rom has to support it, and you have to manually set it up...
I installed light flow. That's how I found it. I'm running Affinity rom and have not seen it work before. Maybe the rom doesn't support it.

Lightflow has been really flaky for me (misses many notification events). The built-in settings in CM10 works best. I don't recall it missing anything.

Except for receiving a phone call . It lights when the screen is off or on. That's at least what my phone does with PA rom
I love how I makes it pulse when I charge my phone.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Yup, didn't know there was one also. I got the point of thinking... maybe the VZW version just doesn't have one :crying:
And then it happened...:victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory::victory:
Galaxy Nexus + LightFlow has been a great combination for me. The RGB LED notification is a must for me with any future phones.
is a full on Rom the only way to customize it? Only thing id really like to see, is for it to pulse a bit faster. The length in time it takes to pulse is too long imo. I could turn the phone on an look faster than it would take for me to stare at that point and see if there is a message.
use lightflow.

You silly. No one wants their screen light to come up when you get a notification. You want the notification led to go on when getting a notification. That is what the notification led is for.
The individual wants notification without their screen light turned on.
I don't know why some applications turn on the screen light some or all the time when getting a notification. I had a few apps turn on the screen light when getting a notification. But you may want to try out "Light Flow" in the Play Store. See if that helps.

If you read my post then you would know that I knew that. I was talking to the other person.
Note - Light Flow is not compatible with Note 2 right now, because you will have to disable S Pen Air View function. Sorry, my bad. My idea was to change the application's, that is causing this issue, behavior to only use LED Notification.
This is usually cause by an app that has a background process running to be notified when you do something like send & receive and SMS, MMS, etc... This is one of many reasons why I use AutoStarts application to manage background processes. This app most likely is an app that your carrier, Sprint, added to your Samsung Galaxy Note 2. These apps like this loves to have background processes being notified when you send or receive SMS and MMS. This is most likely the app/s that caused this issue of your screen light to light up for a moment. Stopping that background process is the best solution.
My question to you is: What did you change within those files that solved this problem?
My request to you is: Write to us what you changed within each of those files, with the name of each file, to solve this problem.
