Pink LED

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.

Q&A or general, doesn't matter to me...I like what you found and hope others chime in with being able to use other colors all the time.

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.

[Q] proximity sensor lighting up orange¿¿

Ok so on my et4g, the proximity sensor is lit up. I've never seen or knew it could light up.. it's a dim orange. Yes I'm positive its the proximity sensor too. I've messed around with it and it is still working..
Attached is a pic of it... looks light purple but it's not..
Anyone know why this could be lit up and not go off?? I've never seen anything like it before

Maybe the red led is screwed and if by any chance it is purple its just red+blue at the same time
I say reboot and if this keeps happening logcat and try a new rom
Your last hope would be going to the sprint store

How about a picture in the dark without the flash?
Not calling bs or anything, just covering all variables here. The 'lighting up' could be light reflecting off of it. I've seen mine shine before in the right light. It's not an LED so if it's actually emitting any light, in case you didn't know - that's not good
Seriously though, no flash and a dark room or it didn't happen.

That was in a dark roon with no flash on the other camera. If flash was on the et4g screen would have a flare on it.
I figured out what caused it.
It was an app called -notification pro plus-
There is a setting under general settings to use the proximity sensor.
I guess it doesn't work well with out phones.

Red and blue LEDs are on the left side of the phone, not the right.

led problem

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.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

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.

when you are in well lighted room, led is brighter, when you are in dark room- led is less bright. Same technique as for auto brightness

But that led is constantly on Strange

Is that not the proximity sensor? I'm guessing it uses some forms of IR for detection so will always be on. .. is normal, don't worry

I just wanna confirm that do everybody has git that or is that only me with that ?

Proximity sensor. Disable 'quick glance' and it won't stay on all the time.

Is it true that the notification led becomes brighter with more room lite and dimmer in darker rooms?

Well yes, post #2 just mentioned that.

Notification LED?

Doesn't this device have a notification/charging LED? On the left of the speaker grill, there are two lenses or whatever they are, one I'm sure is the proximity sensor, the camera is further to the side, but what is the other?
Just found it curious that the GS3 has a notification light, the Galaxy Nexus had one, but this doesn't?

Light and proximity sensor. One of them is a two piece.

Well, I have the new Steel Gray GS2, and I have no light coming out of that area while charging or any other situation.

You have to have notification light in settings like the rom I am using now liquid smooth even then only messages will blink in status bar. The notification lights used are the capcitive lights at bottom of phone you can set it to blink fast , slow etc. Also you could try BLN from the market and see if it works for you.

I just downloaded NoLED, pretty cool little program, I don't like the phone button LED's to show charging and notifications so this is a good alternative.

Yupp one of the downsides to this phone but we have found ways around it. I use bln pro and have the hard keys blink when I have a text or notification

Yup! I recently just purchased BLN Pro because I'm now back on TW based ROMs and wanted the blink feature. Awesome little app.
If you're on an AOSP based ROM like CM, it does this natively and the app isn't needed.

Lol no, light isn't supposed to come out of there. The light sensor there measures how much light there is outside so it could change the screen brightness accordingly... sorry for the misunderstanding though. The only thing we have as notification lights is the bottom row of capacitive buttons.
