So I noticed my phone's LED glowing red the other day, and it turned out it was due to a Google+ notification. I thought it was cool that the app was going to start using an LED notification from now on by default, however I have since stopped receiving LED notifications, and this seems to correlate with when I uninstalled the Google I/O 2012 app.
Has anyone else noticed this? The Google I/O app caused the LED to glow a sort of light blue colour when it was reminding me about the keynotes, but I find it strange that it's affecting other apps' LED notifications. Has the G+ app always given a red LED notification? Anyone have any ideas about why this might happen? Re-installing the app seems to re-enable the G+ LED notifications.

I was recently going through the phone's settings menu, and in sound and display there is a section called pulse notification light which according to the description, pulses LED light repeatedly for new notifications. I have this checked to do this, but I have never seen the LED pulse for any notifications, whether it be incoming calls, sms, or email. I have checked and unchecked it, rebooted the phone, but to no avail I see no pulse notification.
Am I missing something here?
My phone is totally stock for the OS, and applications.
The notification LED light only blinks if the screen is off and if the notification LED light setting is enabled within their respective applications.
The screen is off, and I don't see any setting within the default messaging app, or the gmail app that says anything about LED notifications. I don't think that is very smart for a smartphone. I hate the phone vibrating while sitting on my desk, I would rather have the LED flashing to notify me of new messages, and/or email.
I'm sorry, there is no LED notification in the settings, bad memory LOL. The LED should work as long as Notifications is checked, although it may be defective, like blinking 5 times when you first receive an email or message, and then blinks sporadically afterwards. A fix is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11292197&postcount=4
It could very well be the case that your LED light is not working and you should go to a repair center to get it checked out.
I am using Light Flow but have been seeing a yellow notification light and there is nothing that it is notifying. I am not positive, but I think I saw the same color notification before loading Light Flow.
I can not figure out what this is notifying me of and in Light Flow I don't have anything notify me in yellow.
Anyone know what's going on with the light?
I have the same issue as well. Even after I uninstalled light flow it remains.
You need to go into whatever is set for yellow, and find the setting that removes notifications. I had yellow set for google talk, but the notification light would go off until I physically opened the app, even if the notification was removed from the status bar. You can set it so that the notification light disappears upon turning on the screen.

Yea, I uninstalled the app, when I did have it I did use the setting you mentioned but it didn't help.
It would be nice for Google to build in something like Light flow into the system Nativity that wouldn't be so buggy.
For some reason my friends SGS3 from T-Mobile keeps a green LED Notification on when the setting is checked on the events LED Notification. He does not have anything open at all and nothing is in the notification bar.
This is a strange occurring as it also causes any other LED selected in the APP as lightflow to be a different color. Like if I put purple, it will be yellowish.
This doesn't happen when I uncheck the events LED Notification but I keep the other ones open. So charging the light is still red when charging.
What can be causing the events LED notification to be staying on if all events are cleared, etc. Is there just something open that I can't see? This happens even with lightflow disabled. Did anyone else have this problem?

it is a known issue with the current version of lightflow...you need to uninstall it completely and the problem goes away...
After disabling notifications for light flow, the status bar icon is gone, but the LED doesnt work normally now. Normally i set to LED shinning colour when plugged in but now after i disabled the notification, the LED doesnt light up anymore. Anybody else having similar problems?
Im guessing its due to the app not being updated for 4.3 yet.
App runs just fine here.

Make sure Accessibility is on in setting. I missed that myself.
That seemed to fix it.
Sent from my bathroom throne.
Anybody else seeing this issue?
Noticed it mostly with whatsapp, after receiving a message and opening the app to automatically clear the notification status, the Notification LED would still blink when screen is off.
I think I have to open the notification drop down (even though it's empty) to clear the LED flashing.
Try Light Flow. Been using it without any issues for a while now.
Is there another way of fixing the notification LED except of installing the Light Flow app? I dislike the thought auf having to install additional software for such a very basic task.
I had a huge thread on it. There are ways to clear it. Easiest is turn off the screen by double tapping the status bar. It also eventually goes away.
