LED issue

Is anyone else having an issue with this? I already have the Led notifications disabled yet when I get a missed call, text or email the led still lights up. I have unticked the options in settings>led indicator. I am using the stock apps for messaging, email and phone calls. No 3rd party apps.
I thought the issue was with gmail as I read it somewhere on the intertnet. But that doesnt seem to be it. If it was why does it still blink with a misssed call or text.
Anyone else with this issue? I really dont want to do anothsr master reset. I have had to go through four master reset for other issues. I finaly got the phone set up the way I want and dont want to do it all over again.
Any help is appreciated.

Be kind of nice to know what ROM and kernel you're on.

Have you tried anything to fix it? Like a master reset?

Have you turned off smart response? I don't have this problem because I have the service light running but I'm wondering if that might do it. Also they make this stuff, "duct tape," you might try that

2 master resets and flashing the root injected ucalem and alg1 ROMs. The problem persists.

Wow. I was hoping a master reset would fix it. Now im not too sure if I even want to try that. I finally have the phone set up the way I want. I would hate to do a reset for nothing.

Having the same exact issue here. Was going to start a thread about it myself.
I have the LED for notifications OFF in the system settings but they still continue to appear. I have tried multiple things to no avail.
I too am just on stock GS3, no rooting.
Would love to find a fix if anyone has found one...

I read here on these forums that your issue was a KNOWN issue and that it'll be worked out
with the next update........ if there's any truth to that, we'll see.

So you're getting flashing blue led for these notifications?
Have you checked yes for notifications in the default apps themselves?

Yes thats correct. If I disable the notification option in the default apps then I wouldnt get a sound or status bar notification when a text or email comes in. All options for the LED lights are disabled in the settings.
Im hoping that this is a bug that will be fixed in a future update. I really dont want to master reset again.
If I were to reset, will my apps be downloaded automatically? All the resets I have done I had to manually look for them and download them again.
Thanks everyone for the feedback. Hope we can find a solution for this.

If you reset, you have to go to Play, choose My Apps from phone menu and reinstall. Only updates are (if you so choose) automatic.
As I remember it, with my I747 I had to set notifications to be on in apps and also set LED indicator to display when there was activity. Otherwise, the phone could set there all day and I'd never know there were messages or missed calls.

Browser brightness

So anytime I open my browser it automatically darkens. I hit the home button and it brightens back right before it goes to the home screen. How the f do I change this? Is really getting on my nerves.
Stock Rom by the way.

Lmao thanks. I was hitting menu then settings looking for something. Even went right back to menu then settings as instructed. Was backing of settings and brightness caught my eye. Thanks again man

Same.
I have the same problem. But I can't find the browser's brightness settings.

I had it before the software update, but it is gone after the update. Don't know what's up with that.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium HD app

After the latest OTA update the browser uses the same brightness as the rest of the system. You can control it from the status bar.

I have the latest update but don't see how to change the browser brightness setting without it changing the system brightness. Is there way to fix this? Thanks

Cyanogenmod 10 softkey light settings.

I am using the Cyanogenmod 10 nightly builds and was wondering if there are supposed to be settings to adjust the time out of the softkey lights and if so where am I missing them or is there a possible work around?

You can turn them on or off. That's it.

No way to make them stay on whenever screen is on?

I'm lookimg for that as well. The "unofficial leaked" Samsung rom has that feature.

I could possibly create an app for this. If you change the permissions of /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness to read only, they stay on. But when you shut the screen off the lights shut off, but when you turn the screen back on, they stay off and never come on. So if i created an app to right a value of 1 to the brightness file then change the permission to read only after receiving the screen on broadcast, it should work.
Only issue is, i just reinstalled windows. NOTHING is set up yet other than basic drivers so it might take some time unless someone else has the ability to create it.

That sounds great. No real hurry its more of a quality of life improvement for me. If you or anyone wants to definitely let me know I and I'm sure many others, would greatly appreciate it

[Q] Menu and Back key will not light anymore

Hi everyone, I have a completely stock GSIII on I747UCLH9 and the back and menu buttons only light up when I start the phone. They function fine when I manage to hit them but it's getting annoying hunting for them. Anyone else have the problem? Anyone know how to fix without a factory reset? Will factory reset even fix it? Thanks, Jeff.

They dont stay lit all the time... They go off after a few seconds after using them, or waking the phone...

Well mine don't light up at all after the OS is loaded.

I mistook your first post as saying they light up when you use them... and what OS loading, you said it's stock... You mean after it's booted?
Reflash the stock ROM to rule out a SW issue, if they still don't work, bring the phone back...

The idea here is that I don't want to do a factory reset. And I definitely don't want to put any roms on it since it's going back to the store if I can't solve this.

What do you have "Touch key light duration" (under Settings > Display) set at?

Good question... Take over for me please, I ran stock for all of an hour... You can provide better assistance...

It was set always off. I'm not really surprised that the people at Samsung said factory reset. It seems like every company I've ever bought a phone from use that suggestion instead of actually helping. I will be hitting your thanks button.

Slow clock on lock screen?

I'm having a problem with the lock screen clock updating really slow. It takes at least 2-3 seconds everytime I turn of my phone to look at the time. The small clock on top next to the battery works fine though.. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

This has been driving me crazy ever since I got the phone, I've tried to just forget about it. Hopefully someone knows about this and has some way to fix it, whether its a different clock widget or a setting somewhere.

Its a problem with all the widgets I'm finding. They take longer to load up during start up.
