I thought I saw my wife's phone has the tiny Green LED on top that flashes on missed call. I don't have it on mine. How do I test or get this LED to flash? Does it even exist or it's replaced by the bottom RGB LED? Either or, can someone please educate me on this? I must have turned off the feature somewhere perhaps?
Thanks in advance
You may have turned off the pulse notification light. But if you haven't you should probably know that the light is kinda iffy sometimes lol. Download light flow and you can set the color of the led and for it to blink at a certain speed or even be a solid light

Hey guys,
Ever since ICS update, the charging LED completely overrides all notification LEDs.
I used to have k9mail LED color set to white which results in the LED blinking red whenever a new email arrives. This works perfectly fine if the phone is not being charged and this also worked before ICS but this no longer works.
Anyone else notice this with their E4GT?
Thanks
My notification light has never worked except while charging it glows red, blue when full then unplug and sometimes it stays red

Try blink or light flow in the market.

Yeah this beg has been there since the early leaks, Samsung screwed us on that one and I guess Sprint never made it a priority to fix. This works in aokp though so I figure it also works in cm9 and other aosp roms.
I don't even use the leds they just blink and drain the battery. I have them disabled for everything including charging. You can't see it blink in your pocket so all its doing is wasting your battery as it blinks away unattended and it has notifications and vibration to alert you to an incoming message. No real point in having sound, vibration, an icon and a light for a notification. Plus ICS doesn't handle the LEDs properly and they keep the SoC from going into deepsleep causing excessive battery drain. You use less battery to click the screen on and look for an icon than you do with the LED blinking til you check it anyways.

Are there any similar apps to light flow? I was using it for awhile and I realized how quickly it was eating my battery.
Any suggestions?

Try light manager yet? Seems to do the same, also seems to work for our version of the S3 as well.

Good luck!
I'll try it out and see how it goes! Thanks for the suggestion!

Only blue/green/red seem to work.
Are the US S3s still screwy with the leds ?
I can get light manager and handcent to display some what different colors but all still have mostly blue tones. Handcent wont work at all except under "test".
I read somewhere that the leds between the different carriers is set up differently, like the AT&T version is different from Sprint.

Did you have the "always on" option checked for light flow? The option which allows the light to be on whilst the screen is on? If so that uses a wake lock. Without that checked my phone slept.
But on a second note...
Anyone know how to get custom durations set up for light flow?

You can try an AOKP ROM, they work fine on them.

Not that I know of. Where can I find that option, I'm not seeing it?
So far light manager is working out fine. I just wish it were a bit more customizable to my needs.

My phone and girl (her phone) both are on a light flow right now... no pun intended...

I'm using light Flow as well and I have noticed that my battery doesn't last as long. I think it's very customizable, I have different colors for different people when they text me. Different colors for apps as well.
But I think my LED light might be defective. When I set a light color (green, white, yellow, orange) sometimes the color shows, but it also shows a red spot on the LED.
Is that standard with LED'S or is mine defective?

I'm not really sure about the red spot, but I noticed that on my phone as well. So far my only complaint about light manager is that it's not as customizable as light flow. I do prefer light flow, but I like having that little bit of extra juice at the end of the day.

by red spot, if you mean you can see what looks to Jr like the red led is lit, then it's normal. In order to make certain colors, the red led must be on. There are a total of three leds. Red, green, and blue. And when you have "white" selected as the color, all three led lights are illuminated. It's really weired when you think about it. But physics says when those three colors of light pass over each other, white light is seen.

Well that's why. Cause you have all led lights glowing, and the red sticks out. You can actually see all of them if you look closely

To all of you who say liteflow kills your battery, does it show up in battery usage under settings? Mine has never appeared under there. Also, do you all have it flash fast, medium, or stay on? I have it under stay on as it says it is better for battery life.

If it's using a wakelock it won't appear there, you'll have to use a battery monitor app. But why would you set it to stay on when stock it flashes without killing battery? A lot of apps have custom settings for the led. Lightflow is pointless. It's supposed to be "customizeable" but if you have to set it to "stay on" then it's not customizeable. I tried to use it but my light got all screwy. It's really not needed for cm10 and alike builds.

If it's super heavy usage it'll show up in the settings. I use system panel to keep track of my app usage, stats, and all that fun stuff. It does use more battery than light manager does that's for sure.

It keeps the phone awake after first notification that's why it drains battery. Still waiting for a fix...
Is this applications will work on S3 International LED notifications while screen is ON ??
the two next to the camera up top? Just bought this phone used, are they supposed to light up when you get notifications like my LG revolution did or is it just the pulsing light at the bottom as the alert?
thanks.

The top two things you see are light sensors. When you cover they turn off the screen to prevent you cheeks from hitting buttons while in a call.
Just the pulse light lights up

The led is on the bottom. You can use an app like Lightflow to color code your notifications.
For some reason the red notification light turned on and stays on even when the phone is turned off. It only goes off when I remove the battery.
It stays on and is a steady red light, it does not flash red.
I've only seen the notification light flash blue when I have a missed call, text message or email, but I've never seen it turn red before and it stays red all the time.
I know the notification light shows red when the phone is charging and the screen is off, but I turned off that feature a long time ago and that feature is still off.
The red notification light was off when I put the phone on the table, but when I looked at the phone an hour later the red light was on and stays on constantly.
It's the notification light on the left side of the earpiece on the phone. This has nothing to do with the sensor or camera that are on the right side of the earpiece.
In the Sprint manual it is called the Status Light, but it is also called the Notification Light.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
