But if I tap my screen to open it blinks a blue led light and when charging my LED Red Light works

You turned off the screen when you test with LightFlow? You allowed downloaded apps in the LED settings of the system?

Light Flow and Go SMS

Anyone get Light Flow and Go SMS working together? I can't get the notification LED to work whether it's using GO SMS's built in "blinking LED" function or using Light Flow.
When attempting to use light flow, I turn off the "blinking LED" option in Go SMS. I've also tried using the alternate monitoring options.
Still not working.
EDIT: Well, I ended up uninstalling Light Flow. Notification light works again. I just can't customize the LED color. Guess I'll have to wait until Light Flow gets updated to work with the S III.
Also, even though Go SMS "blink LED" works, the color settings are messed up. The color you pick doesn't correlate to what shows up. Must be an app issue as well. But hey, at least it works.

Did you go into accessibility and enable light flow there?

Does the LED actually blink for you albeit with effed up colours? Cause it doesn't blink for me, just stays one solid messed up colour.
It stays solid just like you said.

Solid LED: text notification
Blinking LED: General notifications, ie gmail
for social networks, facebook, ect, idk, since I don't use them

Then it goes the exact opposite of mine. Mine blinks for text notifications, and stays solid for others.

Hes working on the app to address issues with lightflow an the gs3
Both my and my dad's sgh-i747 displays the wrong led colour.
Blue comes out as red, green as magenta, etc.
I'm starting to think its a problem with all north American versions of the.phone? My friends with the i9300 don't have this problem!

Yeah the hex codes are all messed up in the NA version, so regardless of what program you are setting the colors with they're almost opposite. Yellow = White from my experience if anyone wants white haha
I'm so glad this got brought up, but it's a shame nobody's found a fix yet. It's such a subtle, yet mindblowingly irritating thing. Mine is sold red, no matter what I change in both the system LED settings, or the GoSMS settings. I haven't bothered with LightFlo, since everyone reported the mis-representation of color changes in the settings.

If your on a twiz rom the colors are gonna be all messed up. For example if you use light flow to change the color of the led you'll notice that the color you set it to be is not the color it is. This is an os problem. If you flash a stock android based rom like cm9 cm10 or aokp they will be fixed.

Now this is some handy info. Does this apply to someone having CM9 or 10 AND GoSMS as well?

Notification LED light does not work AT ALL, EVER!

My Verizon Galaxy Nexus does not seem to even include a notification light. Although I see and read about a notification bottom middle of the front of the phone. Mine simply does not work at all and never has. Anyone know of this issue and may offer advice? I have downloaded light flow lite and have had no success, also downloaded LED tester apps and it still doesn't work. Please help.
Have you turned on the notification light in settings? Settings > Display > Pulse Notification Light
Yes.
Play Store > Light Flow > Your welcome
I have already installed light flow. Still not notification LED ever. I have had test SMS sent over and over with no response from the LED. Pulse notification light set, light flow set ON in accessability. All software is set to turn the LED on, the light itself is just not lighting up..
PLEASE HELP
Is it possible Verizon my only option here?
As a test, download an app called "Galaxy Nexus Led" from the market
Enable it and then plug ur charger and turn ur screen off
I think the Nexus's led only works when the screen is off

Galaxy Nexus LED did not work either. Light will not show

Take it to VZW and request a new device for the LED not working. You're not the first person I've seen with the issue, and you probably won't be the last to have the problem either.
I've had the same LED-Error... but i solved it.
At first... I'm shure that your LED is not broken. Cause... it is a LED
Before you read the rest of my message, check if you REALY activate your LED in the PhoneSettings and in any app you've allowed to controll the LED. If you're using LightFlow don't forget to activate it in the "Device-Admin-Settings" of your Phone.
Now try a test...
If your LED is not working ... format your cache and dalvicCache partition ... afterwards, it MUST work.

Go SMS w/ notification LED

Has anyone been able to get their phones to have a blinking LED notification while using Go SMS pro...I enabled all the notification settings, but the LED only blinks when the screen turns on after first receiving a text message. After the screen times out, the blinking LED stops completely.
I was using handcent before and LED notification was working fine, but I was wondering if anyone figured out how to get it to work with Go SMS

I have mine setup where the screen doesn't turn on when I get a text, but it blinks like it should. When i test it, I have to turn the screen off to see the LED is working. That app has a TON of settings so I'm thinking there is something in there you can set on how long it will blink for.
Make sure the led color is set to blue. That may be it.

Does your blinking LED work, even with the screen set to turn on, unlock, and show the sms popup notification...I tried the suggestion about not having the screen turn on and just have the LED blink...that seems to work, but I was wondering if any one has figured out the right combination of settings that allows there to be a popup screen + LED notifications once the screen times out
Has anyone figured this out? I am having the same issue.
If someone figures out the exact problem the OP is having, please update and let us know. I have the same issue. PM me or something too. I'm using Xperia TX.
go sms led issue
hey there! hoping you can add some input to my quest for solving my problem.
problem is this:
i get a new message, turn the screen on, read the pop up, reply. the tesla unread app recognizes that i've seen the message and the unread message count goes away, yet the green LED keeps blinking as if i haven't seen anything. to stop the LED from notifying me about the message i just replied to, i swipe down the notifications tab and swipe it back up. then the LED stops blinking. very strange to me.
FIXED. settings needed to be changed on my phone.. not go sms app.
I just installed a new LED app called LEDBlinker Pro on my SIII (SGH-T999). It's required that the screen NOT turn on in order for the LED to blink. Despite me turning off of the "screen on" option under the app's (advanced) settings, the problem is GO SMS Pro continues to turn on the screen whenever there're incoming text messages. Thus no LED notification for me
I sent the GO Dev Team a message, but I was hoping someone else on here knows a fix. I really want to be able to use my new LED app.
Thanks in advance!
*Strangely, the LED notifications were working fine earlier this week, but then this suddenly occurred and I did not update GO SMS Pro or install any other apps recently.

Whatsapp and LED light

Hi
Does anybody know how to get the LED notification light to work through whatsapp? (I mean without using a 3rd party applicaiton). There is an option in whatsapp to have the LED blink, but I cant manage to get it to work. Any ideas?
Using stock 4.1.1 GSM GNex

What color did you select? Mine is set to green and works fine.
I selected green as well. Also tried a few other colours but still no luck.
Do do you have popup notifications enabled in whatsapp by any chance?

No. Disabled.
Is Whatsapp the only app that's having trouble controlling the LED of your gnex?

@OP Are you sure the 'Pulse Notification' setting is checked to work?
(Settings > Display > Pulse Notification)
Can't think of anything else, my whatsapp led blinks green on notification just fine.
Yeah, pulse notification in the phones settings menu is enabled. I'm using light flow now to control my led which works fine. For some reason I just could not get whatsapp to blink the LED itself. So I went the 3rd party route.
Thanks for the help
hello, i'm using lightfow on AOKP black bean and generally it's work good
i noticed 've the same problem, no led notification from whatsapp...
i am using light flow lite for notifications (no whatsapp support), maybe it is causing this problem?

Whatsapp is supported in the full (paid for) version of light flow.

you can try reinstalling whatsapp or emailing them to report an issue
EDIT: Not sure if this matters but I have the Whatsapp version from the market (version 2.8.4771) but on their own website the version number available for android is Version 2.8.4923
http://www.whatsapp.com/android/
Not sure what's that all about but you could try both and see if one works.

Ah sorry, I misunderstood you. Yes thats something that I also thought of - whatsapp not having access to the LED because Lightflow has 'taken control' of the LED. However to test this theory, I uninstalled Light Flow, but still could not manage to get whatsapp to blink the LED by itself.

Why don't you use the LED Notification build in AOPK? Settings -> Rom Control -> LED Control

My Whatsapp doesn't blink the led either. It did a while ago I know for sure. It has just stopped functioning and I can't get it to work again. Not that important to me though.
Notification LED
Is it possible to use Light Flow Lite and have stock LED notifications work too?
ie. so whatsapp notification LED works too because both Light Flow and default LED settings are on

Notification LED

Hi guys, could you please confirm if the a2 lite has a notification led and if so is it multi colour configurable?
Yes. A singular color on the left bottom.
may as well class it as useless even when charging it still is white only

it's white nothing else.
So even if you install some extra software it will still be only white.

Maybe you can find some Xposed Module for custom LED...
That is sad my older phones at least have yellow red and green
It is even configurable via third party apps or like I am using custom roms
Any way it doesn't bother me if its blinking smoothly or at least just blink it not a sloppy 3 step transition
Have a look at the Light Flow app. Unfortunately changing the blinking speed doesn't work but at least it's possible to define the apps whose notifications are switching the LED on.
Sorry it seems there is much confusion around about the (white only) notification led. I'm still reading people stating that the led just lights up for showing that phone is charging, and do NOT lights up for notifications like missed calls, pending incoming messages and other usaual android notifications.
May you please confirm that indeed it DO lights up for android notifications and not only when charging? Thanks
One more thing: if it lights for notificatins but it also lights pemanently while charging, how do you distinguish notifications while charging?
It blinks for notifications and is permanently on while charging. Not sure what happens with notifications while charging as I only do it over night every 2-3 days. Never had any problems with the LED by the way.
Thanks rfkf you cleared it up!
If any wonders exactly.
Made some test.
White led only, off, blinks slowly or always on.
When a notification is received and screen goes off it blinks slowly.
When is charging led is always on but if screen is off and a notification is received it blinks.
When battery saver is on it blinks slowly, if a notification is received it blinks anyway the same way.
I only tested text notification, and I am using Textra, not Android message.

I found the app " light flow" just after reading this page : it enables to manage the led, : which event (battery full/ WhatsApp/messages...) will make the led blink or stay still, obviously no colour management for this phone and unfortunately no possibility to manage blink speed.
