Mine is working but for some reason I can't use the default "messages" notification. I have to use the specific one for handcent. It was also causing some issues with my gallery and stock browser.

I didn't realize people are still using this after SIII since we DO have an LED notification light and apps like Light Flow and Light Manager to control them now.... any reason I'm not understanding? Feeling nostalgic or are more of a visual learner preferring to see the icon instead of a flashing light?

For me I like the larger, brighter, moving icon that catches my attention faster than a single LED. To each their own though.

Of course, just wondering! Thanks for your insight :good:

Can you look at the led light and tell whether an incoming message is Gmail or a text? NoLed has icon notification that lets you know what is coming vs just a blinking light.

I can tell the difference. I use Handcent SMS and it allows for custom LED notifcations, also a few roms had custom led color features.

If you had searched for Light Flow or Light Manager, you'd know that those apps are designed specifically to change the notification lights to tell you what app is has a notification.... So.... Yeah, there's that.... Hmmm

[Q] LED Notification Location

Is there anything I can do about the LED notification location on the Arc?
(I can never tell if I get messages or anything)
Yes. Look at the phone in sideways .
Come on... It's by design, what do you really want to do?

There's a way for notifications with the back light buttons.
I've never tried it, but some users reported that it works.
Search here, don't remember the thread.

Use no led to notify but check it works with kernel
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
just use an app to make led stay on whole time until notification removed.
I use "light flow" to make the led by the hardware bottoms light up on a SMS or a missed call.

If you open your phone case and make little modification then yes you can change led location

Notification light?

Is the LED below the screen supposed to function as a notification light? I ask because I haven't seen it light up even once for anything. Not when charging, nor when there are new emails, messages, etc. Heck, does it work at all?

I see the notification light blink white when I have a new email from Gmail. Do you have Settings->Display->Pulse notification light enabled?
I guess you should make sure you have email notifications (do you hear sounds?) on as well.
I to have yet to see this notification light. I do have Pulse notifications enabled and yet nothing happens when charging even after the device is turned off and charging. I'm unlocked, rooted, stock, with CWM recovery.
Edit: I also do hear the notifications when receiving emails just not the light notification.

Yes, my pulse notification setting is on. I get the audible tone that I have email but no light ever.

You guys are not alone. There is another thread on this issue. Seems that the LED, for some of us, works sometimes but often does not work at all. There is an app called LED tester (free) that you can use to see what the situation is with your LED. Note that installing Light Flow is not a solution - when the LEDs are not working they will not be working under Light Flow control. So far I haven't been able to spot what triggers the LEDs to start or to stop working. Restarts seems to have no effect. With mine, when they work they work for a day or two then abruptly stop and stay stopped for a day or so.
A number of people seem to be affected by this but there is no indication yet whether this is a software bug (hopefully) or a dodgy hardware batch.
Mines been working since day one... Installed light flow and kept on moving

I've never seen the LED on mine, LED tester does nada! I'm hoping it's software but ultimately not too concerned, not a feature I care too much about.

Where is the light supposed to show up?
My notification light works, alas on both the N10 and the GN it *never* blinks on the first notification it should report after a reboot. From the 2nd time onwards it works as intended.
Didn't even realize this had an led...so guess mines never lit up either

The notification light only blinks when the screen is off and a notification is received...

By default, the notification lights only show up when the screen is off... and the moment you power on and reach your lockscreen, they go off... in my custom ROM, I have an option to enabled the notifications lights when the screen is on as well...

No kidding, I had to go look in the little book to see where the led even was!
I disabled it due to constant pulsing...mine works TOO good.
Looks like mine doesn't work. Even after using light works app. This may push me to exchange this now along with light bleed problem that is pretty visible.

I hope so buddy. I find the LED notification to be extremely useful. Great not having to turn on the screen each time to see if you missed something. Just wished Samsung got more creative with the notification like LG did with the Optimus Pro.

What I meant about "more creative" was that LG decided to make the LED notification around the home button instead of a blinking dot on the device. As far as apps, Light Flow is definitely the way to go.

Lg was not the first to come with that design. Just saying. My htc flyer had this design too.

Does the N3 have an led notification light?

Anyone know?

I would imagine that the N3 has an LED notification light. But the N2 also has an LED notification light. It is just left of the top speaker grille, above the Samsung logo.
Great thanks. If the N2 has one then the N3 should have one two.

From the hands on videos, it does Have a notification light
this guy has had a note 2 for a year, and didn't know he had an LED notification
I assume it is the tiny blue one like on the S4?
Iwas wondering same... I can't see any notification led but maybe I'm blind

Multi-color please
My fingers are crossed the notification LED is multi-color (and more than just red/green/yellow) so you can quickly identify the type of notification without relying on a blink pattern.

I have the S3 and never really noticed a "blinking pattern"...
Mine just blinks (blue and green and red). On / off / on etc.
Tell me more about this pattern?
There are 2 dots next to the speaker grill, so there should be a LED notification light.
As to multi colour led lights, you can always use apps that make multi led colours! I have atm purple, blue, red, orange, yellow and green for my notifications.

Some phones use a pattern to differentiate different alerts (text, email, voice mail, etc.) and there are apps that let you control this too as there are apps that let you assign different colors.

This only works if the LED supports those colors, some LEDs are only 1, 2 or 3 colors like the HTC EVOs. They use a pattern instead of color, otherwise red for charge, green when charged or blinking green for notification and yellow for low battery.
I just hope the GN3 notification LED supports multiple colors. Is the notification on other Galaxy phones multi-color?
I would assume the Note 3 would have something similar to the Note 2. I have red when charging, green when fully charged, blinking blue for most notifications, blinking green for a text message. Don't see why they would get rid of that.

If you have N2 and don't see LED notification light, then you probably won't see it on N3 either, because evidently you don't get anything to be notified about...
N2 has 3-color LED and these colors can be combined producing different colors (require additional apps or even kernel)
Don't worry guys, I'm sure the led is cheap enough for Samsung to keep in the GN3.
This video will answer all of you the questioning regarding the led notification:

NB: GN3 is the one on the RIGHT!

If anyone is still in doubt the Note 3 I had this weekend has a notification LED. I don't think Samsung has time to remove it in the next week or so.

[Q APP] App to change LED notification to variable

Hey, I was wondering if there is anyway to be able to change the LED light color to variable...I know there is a way to change it to a solid color and have that blink but is there any way, say after receiving a text message, instead of it just blinking blue but to cycle from blue to red to yellow to green etc.?
Light Manager from play store has alternating mode. I believe that will flash all active notifications in succession.

I have been using light manager...however, I can not figure out how to get it to alternate...I have the alternate mode selected but when I get a notification it is just the one solid color....am I missing something?
Light flow does what you are asking. There's both a free and pro version however I use the pro and I love it

Stupid question did you restart light manager or your phone after you changing modes? I have issues with it not switching every once in a while restarting my phone seems to help.
