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

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.

Vibration for notifications

I searched and could not find anything regarding changing the vibration pattern for an all stock note 2. Mine will only vibrate in a single long pattern, no matter what I set it to in the settings. I like to use the stock messaging because it's compatibility with the lock screen but I'd really like it to vibrate in a couple short pulses instead of that single long one. If I'm missing something I apologize but I have no idea what to change aside from the options in the settings menu. Any help or other information would be much appreciated, I'm sure it's something silly I'm missing anyway!
Go to settings- sounds-device vibration u can chabge it to a few different patterns

I am not sure! That is how the note 1 default notification vibrate was, the single long pulse. The sms mms one was a quick twin pulse, I'd prefer that! I like how the sms app works with the tw lock screen and launcher etc so I don't want to use another one if I can avoid it. I wish it would allow me to use a different vibration setting because my phone is silent a lot! I asked samsung and they gave me the ringtone answer. The service from the online chat is weak.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I downloaded the app and tried to set it up but it wanted to stop air view in the process. A related application was there

Screen dimming when opening emails

Hi
Not sure if anyone else has had the same problem or even come across it before but I've got a weird issue in that when I open the email client the screen dim making it more difficult to read the emails, come out of the email client and it brightens up again, ive not got auto brightness set and have tried factory resets but still it persists.
Phone is stock 4.1.2 but was doing this prior to stock update last night on 4.1.1. BTU unlocked handset
Any ideas?

You can install LightFlow (or another LED manager) to manage your LED Notifications.

First make sure you have the led turned on...its in the settings. Light flow will work but you have to disable talkback (its an Android problem not an LG issue) question.. does your led light up when you turn the phone on? ..when your phone is off turn it on if it lights up all the colors then its working if not then maybe a hardware issue.

I have the led turned on. When you say disable it you mean have the toggle to off correct? Yup, it goes through all the colors when booting up.

Working for me. Did you enable it in accessibility settings and enable notifications for the individual apps you want notifications for (via Lightflow)?
I didn't try it with your AOSP Messaging app, yet. I wasn't even getting status bar notifications, though.

In your Accessibility Settings disable TalkBack and make sure Light Flow is enabled. Hopefully that straightens things out.

You need to actually go in to the main settings, General, apps, select talkback, force stop, and then disable it (you may need to uninstall updates first). I had the same problem a little while ago. Does it only say the letters using the LG keyboard? Mine didn't do it for other keyboards.
Also, if you use tasker at all, it can successfully control the led colors. If you want to play with it, you can assign different colors for specific notifications. I haven't done so yet for the ogp, but I made an app for the lgog (only one color for that led though). Also, if you look up something called "buttonled" by germainz here on xda, he has made a tasker profile and app that might work for you too.

I did a factory reset and went in and disabled talk back. Led works now with lightflow. Only thing that bothers me is when I test the new color, it'll blink new color then a different color then back to assigned color. That normal for this phone? Thanks for the help by the way.

Is there a way to prevent the screen from waking up while receiving a notification?

Love the moto 360 and super happy with it, though there's one thing I've always wanted to do with it and i haven't seen it posted anywhere.
I'd like to be able to receive a notification to my watch and have the screen NOT wake but still receive both the notification (To view when i'm ready) and the vibration (To know i have a notification).
There has to be a way to do this. Can anyone help?

I got Lightflow to vibrate..but how do you keep the card? The only solution I found was to turn block the notification for the app (in my case Textra) and turn on the vibrate in Lightflow. It would be nice to have the vibrate and card but without the screen on.
I installed lightflow but I don't understand how I'm supposed to use it? I too would be interested in some way to get notifications that are a little more private. Can someone walk me through the steps to set up gmail as an example so I get some sort of notification on the watch without the watch screen coming on? Or a way to get notifications without the subject or content showing up until I am ready to check it?
