Coul you help me to do a clean out of the box reset?
Sorry for the long text but i really whant to fix this! =) Sorry for bad english...=(

Known Bugs:
- To get BLN start working for all kind of notifications, you have to get an "initial-notification" which will trigger BLN to work for all kind of notifications somehow. This could be for example a whatsapp notification (while bln is active in the bln app and the display is turned off) or you can do it with the app "Go SMS Pro". Just start the app, push the menu button and navigate to "Settings -> Notification Settings -> Default notification settings -> Test notification" wait 3 seconds and then turn off your display. The touchkeys should light up now. Now BLN will work for all kind of notifications and also the test inside the bln app will work, too. But after a reboot of your device, you will have to trigger BLN again with an "initial-notification".

So I did the reset and now the phone is like out of the box. Everything works again I flashed again the kernel and everything and it's working. I didn't know about using other applications to trigger bln. thanks!

[Q] So am I right that Google didn't bother to add support for the LED in the SMS app

I don't get it, the notification LED works for everything EXCEPT the native SMS app! WTF is that about? Are they really that lazy to no include any LED notification options in ICS for this phone?
It works perfectly for FB, Whatsapp, Gmail, etc... but nothing for SMS/MMS?
Or am I missing something here?
Download light flow in the market. The lite version works perfectly, and you can set up different coloured led notifications for different apps

Nope, you're not missing anything. Noticed it myself. I assume (or hope..) that Google will implement it anytime soon with an update.

Getting led notifications for native SMS normally
I think OP meant there are no -options- for LED notification for SMS messages. At least, that's how I interpreted it.

OP said LED notification doesn't work for SMS. It works for me, but I'm using GO Sms pro and not stock.
Works for me to on stock
make sure pulse LED is selected in the settings, otherwise it wont but still works under 3rd party apps
It also works for me, that's not how I understood OP's problem. My point is that there are no settings for the notification LED in the SMS app. You cannot enable/disable it there, or choose a color.
sms native led works.gtalk led works.gmail led doesnt work (why?). twitter and facebook didnt test it and dont want it.missed calls led doesnt work (bad bad bad) most probably because of the screen on?
works here nativ too.
maybe faulty handset?

WARNING: this app has serious compat issues with ICS.
It can cause your screen to not want to turn on again. I had to battery pull and then uninstall before the app started.

Yep.read few posts with problems came from light flow
You're right it does work I thought it wasn't working at all... but my other point where you cannot customize it for the SMS app is strange for having a brand new OS designed for a phone that has this feature.
I definitely don't want to install a 3rd party app for this.
thanks to all.
I am quite sure Cyanogen 9 will have that... CM7 does...

Just some additional info on this, based on my experience:
I had the same happening to me, but only after I went to "General Settings->Additional LEDs found" and checked the box (I did that because I thought something isn't working right, but turned out I was just too stupid ;-).
My guess is that what's listed there as an LED is actually the main display, and checking the box messes things up.
Since rebooting (by pulling the battery) and unchecking that box again, everything works perfectly.
Also, if your GN is rooted, Light Flow will ask for superuser rights. Decline that, it's not needed on the device (everything runs well without su rights, as far as I can tell)
Even the Nexus One didn't have built in options for the notification light. In fact, it wasn't until much LATER that someone realized that it can do different colors.
I think CM7 is the only rom that had the notification LED settings built in at a kernel level. Other roms required the use of 3rd party apps (which killed the battery).
Coming from the original Galaxy S which did not have any notification lights, I still prefer the NoLed application instead of the led light. NoLed allows you to see the contact photo as the indicator that you have an sms message.
I use SMS Popup. It is a great utility and it supports LED Notifications

I haven't seen any LED notifications. Gmail, sms, or with go sms pro. I tried testing notifications and nothing happened. LED tester verified that the LED is in fact working though. So odd.

[Q] Vibration with ring or silent for notification stopped working after ICS

I'm still in stock, and just rooted after the ICS update, so the problem isn't because of the root. Before rooting I tried factory data reset which did fix many problems like gps and music player, but the vibration/silent mode with vibration for notification still does not work.
Are there any mods or apks to install to replace the vibration settings to fix the problem ?
p.s. vibration works on phone calls when I select vibrate and ring, but seems to only not work with notifications like sms text messages.
Thanks.
Are you on stock?

Hmm interesting. I have this issue but on a custom ROM. I got nothin' for ya
are there any apks, mods or apps to modify the vibration profile, that might be the solution ?
Edit: Fixed the issue, ICS has separate sms messaging settings to vibrate, changed it to always from never.
Go to messages > settings > notification settings section - change vibrate (also vibrate when notified) to > Always

[Q] System Vibration Issue

ATT Galaxy S3, Stock ROM (4.1.1) with root.
I can't get vibration to work for notifications in non-stock apps (mainly trying to get it to work in messaging app: go sms).
In sound, I have 'sound and vibration' checked, but the test notification tool in go sms is reporting that "system vibration is off" and when running the test, it reports "Has turned on vibrate in silent mode"
I have tried putting the phone into 'vibrate' mode and 'mute' mode and comparing the settings, and from everything I see, the vibration settings seem to be correct in my system settings, but I still can't seem to get notifications to vibrate.

Try to wipe cache and davlik and fix permissions. It has worked for me before and other times not when this happened. Can't hurt to try it

Wiped the cache from recovery (didn't see an option for davlik, guessing that's for a custom recovery, and not stock?), still no vibration when using Go SMS, and starting to think (after more digging on the net) that it may be an issue with Go SMS, rather than the Galaxy S3.
I may revert back to using stock messaging for the time being (as i'm not getting as many group texts as I was when I started using go sms for that feature) until I can get this figured out or Go SMS fixes the issue if it's something wrong with the app.
Working now
I'm not sure what happened, but this morning I got a text and vibration worked though go SMS. I don't remember seeing an update come in for it, but everything is working as expected now. Woo~

I have inverse issue. I am unable to turn OFF the vibration. Permissions work all over the system except the SMS notification in Go SMS. It won't stop vibrating in any mode and in any case. I have tried all apps but unable to fix it.

At this point, I'm back to using the stock messaging app. After the upgrade to 4.2 or 4.3 (can't remember which) android has native support for group messaging, which was the only reason I was using GoSMS in the first place. I don't know that I can be much more help to you, unfortunately

Hay... I was able to fix this. I actually had inverse issue. I was unable to turn OFF vibration in Go SMS notification. It must vibrate no matter what phone status is.
It is being set here in Go SMS settings > Advanced (tab) > Notification Settings > Default Notification Settings > and look for Vibrate. Check or uncheck it according to your desire.

Notification vibrate

Two weeks ago, toggling the silent mode settings between Silent, sound only, vibrate only, and sound-vibe controlled the ringer and all the notifications. So, any app that generated a notification would follow this setting. You know, like every phone every made since their advent.
My phone just came back from samsung (screen repair) with MD4 everything. I also put MOAR on it. Now, that toggle no longer controls the notification vibration. The only way to set vibration for notification is go into the individual application settings. This is ridiculousness. I thought I could make a workaround with tasker, but "Vibrate on notify" is also no longer available.
Can anyone verify this is the way it is? Or is something wrong with mine?

I'm not sure if this will work as I'm on AOSP rom but try this.
Under Settings/Sound - select volumes, you should get a popup for volume settings. There should be an option for "Link Ringtone & Notification Volumes". Select that and notifications should follow the same rule as phone ring tone. Hope it works for you.
Bumping this. Does anyone have a solution to this complete epic failure of engineering by either google or samsung? It's absolutely absurd that if I want to cycle vibrate on and off, I have to go into 5 different apps, dig through menus of each app, and change each app's individual notification settings.
After you received the Device back from Samsung, did you happen to notice if the Toggle worked correctly ? I'm currently on MOAR, and everything works as it should. Did you do a Clean install of MOAR ? Meaning a Full Wipe System - Data - Dalvik Cache -Cache - Factory Reset ? Did you verify the MD5 Checksum of the Rom before Flashing ?

When I sent the phone away, it had MOAR 4 and whatever was prior to MD4.
When I got the phone back, it came with MD4. I clean flashed MOAR 4. Not more vibe on notify. I didn't check that before I flashed, but presumably that feature went away with MD4.
Clean flashing to MOAR 5 still lacks that feature.
So this leads me to believe it is an MD4 "feature".
Ok so I think I understand you a bit better now. You are not saying that the Toggle is broken, you are saying that when you use the Toggle certain apps do not respond accordingly. Have you tried : Menu - Settings - Sound - Ringtones and notifications. Make sure that Vibrate and ringing is checked.
No no. The problem is that THERE IS NO TOGGLE. The toggle for selecting notification vibrate no longer exists. It isn't there. Taken away. No option, no selection, no checkbox, no nothing. And tasker shows it as not available so I can't work around it either.
Look at these two screenshots. There is nothing to set notification vibrate, and there there is nothing to link notification settings up with ringer settings. All gone. The Vibrate when ringing checkbox controls only the phone call vibrate and has no effect on notifications.
The only way to control whether you get a vibrate for notification, is to go into each application and manually turn it's vibrate option on. That application will then vibrate at all times. If I set the phone for silent, that app's notifications will still vibrate. If I set the phone for sound only, that app still vibrates. If I have the app's vibe turned off, and I set the phone for vibrate, I will never receive any notification since there is no vibrate for notification.
Make sense now?
Did you try changing it in Vibration Intensity ?

Sure I could go into vibration intensity and lower it down to zero. But that is not a toggle. There is no way to adjust that without going through all the menus and changing the slider. It will not change itself when I put the phone into vibrate. It will not change itself when I put the phone into sound & vibe. It isn't solving anything. The problem is the removal of the toggle.
You can try THIS , or maybe the one HERE.

Those just do the same exact thing the phone already does. Toggle the RINGER. Nothing to do with notifications.
I've been asking around about this too. It's really annoying having to change the notification settings in each app every time. Someone suggested a Tasker profile to change the vibrate settings in specified apps but I haven't figured out how to do it.

Xposed LED control module not working

So I can't stand this 9 second wait in between blinks so I installed xposed framework and the LED control module.
I cannot get this working correctly? Anybody have this working successfully?
If enable per say the messaging one. When I get a message it does not work. If I turn the screen on, then back off, it will work...but obviously that isn't right.
Any thoughts/suggestions? Thanks everyone!
Verizon G3, rooted
Well I finally figured it out. In the phones standard notification settings, every option needs to be checked. I had unchecked incoming calls and downloaded apps. So once I checked every option in there it is now working! Yay! Not sure why but that fixed it
Are you running the standard version only or unlocked version?
I could only get the messaging app to correctly show LED notification, i couldn't get the phone app to display LED for missed call. Could you?

Standard version of led control with email, gmail, messaging checked for apps. Gmail notifications. Don't work but I've read that they don't so idk....at least the messaging one works now. Would like gmail too as well but not sure how to fix that
