Does Verizon or AT&T version have a Notification LED? - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A few months ago, a Verizon GS4 Mini leak showed a notification LED: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-mini-sch-i435-spotted-with-verizon-branding/.
Now that it's out, can anybody confirm whether or not it has a Notification LED? I notice that this FAQ on Samsung's webpage also mentions a Notification LED: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00058018/76957.

I helped my mother-in-law buy and set up a Verizon one yesterday. I can confirm that it does indeed have a notification LED.

I just tried it very quickly and it appears to work. I just tested all the different types it sends from the tools menu.

No led notification for missed calls?

Ok it blinks in blue when i have facebook notification but when i have missed call there is no outside indication what so ever.
I was so used on my nexus one the trackball to pulse in red when i have missed call, why there isn't built-in option for that here?
Any 3rd party software to solve that?

Thanks, seems that this will do the job.
But i'm still curious how they didn't give us a way to configure something quite important as that? Or at least had some default settings....
Other thing that bothers me, that there is no indicator for charging....
welcome to Galaxy Nexus! here are other possible issues you might encounter now ..

As for the LED, that's a known problem. Samsung screwed some things up and the creator of Light Flow is working on a fix. I believe that CM9 and CM10 don't have this problem?

The LED notifications in CM9 are actually pretty derpy at the moment.
When I was on stock, Google Voice would leave the LED on until I read my text or cleared the notification, and CM9 does the same thing too.
When I get an SMS through my regular phone number, sometimes the LED flashes, and sometimes it doesn't, it all depends.
Okay thanks for the light situation, what about the build versions? Does your match?
I see lots of people have a LED problem , I haven't even experience a problem one.

mine is same as yours. I noticed that because on my second gs3 on the box and on the plastic when you first open the case it had a stick that said UPDATED. the original one that I got in the store just had the normal $50 restocking fee sticker. the first phone i got from the store does have a different build number from the one I got from customer service online. I just thought it was because the one I picked up at the store was a 16GB and the one I ordered online was 32gb... but that shouldn't matter the build number should all still be the same right??
If you get a text or email, led should work fine. But if you use gosms or Facebook, the led doesn't blink and also uses the wrong colors. That doesn't happen to you?

So from what I've gathered up online is that the ones that have the updated sticker has the update more for radio then anything else I do seem to have a lot better signal and data speed then the 16Gb GS3. So I guess everyone with the old build will get an update soon.

Is it possible to change notification led colour?

Is it possible to have diff colour for diff notifications?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
you can't change it yourself.
red is assigned to power(charging/low power)
green for actual notifcations
blue for sound recording.

Actually you can (somewhat)...Well I did with the Handsent SMS app. Its possible to change the colors for the notifcation within that app so I'm guessing that the notifications colors only work if the app has it within the settings.

I'm getting something different on my Note 2.
Red is the same, for power.
Blue is for notifications (sms and such)
Haven't seen a green notification light yet.

That means with the right software it can be changed. Maybe some developer will be able to come up with something

Be aware that the install process will make you turn off air view. Just turn it back on after installing.

Wow, thanks to this thread, I finally came to know that Note 2 does have a notification LED just like galaxy s3 as someone told me it doesn't have. Lightflow is good but drains a lot of battery. Try this as well https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5rb28ubGlnaHRtYW5hZ2VyIl0.
How do you turn air view back on?

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.

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.

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.

If its the same as the nexus 4 and gnex, then its multi colored, try using light manager, you can test out all the led colors and such but it does require root I think

I have it turned on, but I still get no notification light, even using lightflow and running the test, I get no light anywhere. Maybe I have a dud tablet.

You turn it on under display > Pulse Notification. Make sure that is checked. Lightflow app is compatible but my notification does not work even when running the test on the app.

I could live without it, but since I got mine at a Best Buy, I'll probably bring it back just so I get one that works as it was intended to.

Download light flow lite, you can use that app to manage notifications for any program you want.
The light only works when you receive a notification with the tablet screen off
