[Q] Camera flash illuminates when receiving a 4.3 call - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

After updating my S3 (stock, unrooted) to 4.3 my camera LED lights up when receiving a call. This is a new behavior. I can't find a setting to control this.
Can anyone help me find the setting to turn off the flash LED (I have searched Call Setting, Call Alerts, , Additional settings, Ringtones, display and LED menus)?
Mike

+1 Bump

Did you try doing what AndroidBH said? Bumping without providing any further details or developments isn't going to produce results because no one knows what stage you're at.

The only thing I see in my browser from AndroidBH is "Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2"
I'm at work so sometimes they strip out pictures. Did I miss something?

Just a screenshot of the settings.
Go to Settings >> My device tab >> Accessibility. Scroll down to "Flash notification" and see if it's checked. If it's checked, turn it off. If it's off, toggle it on, then off.

Fixed!
Ran home at lunch at was able to see the graphic. Toggled it on and then off and it is fixed. Came back to work and saw your comment. Left a thanks.

You're running Go SMS, you need to Disable other message notification. Go to Settings in Go SMS, Advanced tab, Receive Settings, and uncheck "Disable other message notification"
Drakhar, I haven't disabled that and I no longer get these text messages. I had them when I first got my phone.
Its most likely a problem with your tower. Put a ticket in for them to check it out.

Same thing was happening to me, soon as I disabled that they quit... Had read somewhere else that was what was causing it.
He could at least give it a shot and see if it works for him...
funny, I just saw this thread a little while ago and I just got one of these texts. I dont use Go sms though. I use handcent. the text body starts with //LL:1563: odd. I never had one until today and I've been running handcent for a couple of weeks now
it's visual voicemail & your sms app
i had the same issue, i talked about and found a fix at these two posts:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299804
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306721
Thanx! I disabled it and will report back with my results

right click "feature" on this forum

Can I ask why right clicking on this forum has been replaced with some annoying third party look "contextual" search thing. It's really annoying
Moved to About XDA section.
i think its gr8
I finally got annoyed enough by it to come here posting about it, but I figure I'll resurrect this thread rather than start my own.
In a nutshell, the Contextual Search "feature" is about on par with Clippy.
'nuff said
You should still have the right click menu though...
Not when anything is selected, which is when it is usually used. I can't think of a single time the "contextual search" has ever been useful.
Had an epiphany that I could add a filter to Adblock. If anyone else cares to know, just add "searchlight_ctextsearch.js" to your custom filters. Yay! No more stupid counter productive "feature"!

Nope.
Contextual search only appears if you click the magnifying glass next to the selected text.

Just disable it then?
Go to options and uncheck "Enable Contextual Search".
I did that ages ago as I didn't really use that feature either.

Answer call from notification blind

In the keynote, they demo that we can answer or hangup the call straight from the notification.
how do i set that? everytime when i receive a call, the whole screen is being populated with the dialer app and the home button disabled.

They said you can 'hangup' from the notification - not initiate a call. You can also return to your call from the notification.
but there are sample image showing that is possible. (i just rewatch the keynote and realized i remembered it wrong)
but how about this image?

That is a mockup. Notice there is no icon to clear notifications in the top right?
That said...has anyone tried hitting the home button when a call comes in and see if that is where this feature comes in handy? Does it show up in the pull down then?
Are you already using the phone when you get the call? Works for me that way

or maybe we need to wait till mid july for the official release.. then they have it?

Turn off Proximity Sensor. Most likely in Phone Settings... Haven't been on AOSP in a minute, but it used to be an option.

Couldn't find phone settings. I checked every section of the options menu and there was nothing about proximity sensors. I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Thank.

I meant that I couldn't find it anywhere in the options xD. I'd go back to touchWiz but I always get terrible battery life. So each rom has a different drawback for me xD
