I cannot get the Notification LED to work. I mean isn't it supposed to blink when I get new emails? I tested it with the lightflow app and it works in that test, but other than that I don't know how to see it blinking? Could it be broken or I'm doing something wrong?

You may try to config the Email app or gmail app, if the led work with low battery ( blinking red) then it should not be hardware problem it just that mis config in some app s
I'm having the same issue.
I can confirm that the LED is functional, through third party apps that turn it on manually, but I have yet to receive a real notification flash. Fortunately, that looks to be more of a software issue which should be easily resolved.
Same issue on my end.

I finally managed to have it working! In Lightflow app, in notifications for example I chose gmail then for inbox under LIGHT tabI changed notification LED color to white and at the bottom of the same page, change the state of pm8xxx-led LED to: "Flash - Hardware controlled".
Now when I get new emails, the LED flashes! But its weird that by default this doesn't work.
Is it a single color or is it multi-colored? Only white is working for me.

I've never had any device with a notification LED before. Would it be possible, for example, to have the LED light up when charging is complete? That's about the only thing I'd want to use it for.

Yes, there are third party apps that let you customize this.
so selecting a differed led color with lightflow is pointless, huh.
So it's not an RGB led like the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 ones?

No apps have been able to access other colors. This has led (hah) to speculation that it is not a RGB LED and only supports white. This is what my leds classes on my Nexus 4 (which has an RGB LED) look like:
And this is what the Nexus 7 looks like:
As you can see it's missing all three primary (for light) colors. Ignore the spotlight one, I believe that is the flash next to the camera. If we are to trust that the software is reporting accurate hardware then unfortunately it is only a white LED and will not be able to be adjusted.
EDIT: Looking at iFixIt's teardown pictures we can clearly see that it's a single color LED.

I'm having the same problem, assuming it will be fixed with a software update.
By making tweaks in Lightflow, I was able to get it to function when I receive emails.
However, it is very dim. Nothing like my SGS3, which is bright enough to be noticeable and actually alert me. I can barely tell that it's flashing on the N7, so I don't see much usefullness there. Not to mention a case will make it a completely moot point.
Is the LED supposed to light up while the tablet is turned off and charging?
How can I tweaks in lightflow to make it work

I was able to get the notification light to work for an email only when the screen is turned off. if I'm using the tablet & get a notification, it won't light up, but if the screen is off & I get one, it starts blinking.
my led light only flashes when the notification initially comes in, and doesn't flash at all afterwards, not sure whats up with it, would have assumed that it would blink again, but when I tested it earlier, it glowed once, then nothing for the next 2 minutes that I stared at it.
I thought my LED was 'busted'. Seems to work occasionally with gmail but not with other applications. It's also an extremely slow pulse. I miss it usually.

the developer has claimed the latest version on the play store is working for rooted phones, but I still am not having the best of success. I thought I'd start a thread and see how others are fairing.
The newest version has some improvement; being able to select different colors for different notifications and actually getting them to go off when you've pulled down the notification bar. however, it doesn't blink for me at all. When i get a text or email the corresponding light is a steady constant light if the screen is asleep. If you wake it up the light either disappears or only lights up very infrequently.
I've read some posts before the latest versions came out that some users had success getting it to work by actually turning Accessibility off. This seems to turn off the entire app for me.
anyone having better luck?
I didn't have much luck with it either. The app itself would become very unresponsive over time and I'd have to kill its process for it to respond again. I'm pretty sure I read that he may add the pulsing light option to more of the indicators in the future, but it's not something that is supposed to work right now. (Aside from the selections that do pulse.)
mine works great via cm10 and aokp jb make sure you turn off system notification light pulse etc and then check

you need to enable Samsung S3 mode. otherwise the light will stay green as for some reason in Samsung's software, "black" (off) is green and all the other colors are mixed.
anyone know if there is going to be options of other color blinking lights? the only options are blue and red. I want other blinking colors.

He's added code that works with rooted phones and allows all normal colors to flash plus keeps flashing red and pulsing blue. But it doesn't support custom colors. I will say this dev has done a lot of work to overcome Samsung's screw up of LED color matrix on U.S, models. The version for unrooted US S3 didn't work at all for me on rooted phone. I don't what iteration of v3.0.5 he has on Play at the moment.

I use the built in settings in paranoid android 1.9.6 no troubles, plus you specify apps for notification like lighflow, just a suggestion if you plan on trying another rom. I do love that app though.

The app works flawlessly with blinking blue and blinking red for me. As stated above make sure you have the SG3 Mode enabled and Accessibility enabled. Andrew is really busting his tail to ge this working based on the US version problems. He is very close with e non-rooted version.
I would suggest starting by disabling all notification in Lighflow and then do one at a time. Also make sure you disable the LED in Android Settings because it conflicts.
I'm using cm10s led settings all with custom colors and they work perfectly. The only reason I didn't like light flow was you could never kill app in recent apps or it would stop working.

Just got schooled by this app. If you use the backup feature, you can't simply do a restore after flashing a new/updated ROM (with full wipe). You have to go and cycle the S3 mode toggle after the restore. If you don't, the S3 mode will be checked, but it never went to su for access, and it won't work. There's 30 or so minutes of my life gone forever.

Light Flow has been updated. You can now flash all colors of LEDs and not just the red and blue. Non rooted users now have support also.

I wish.
Here's my standard response!
This seems to be an ICS/Samsung bug. It happens for some people and also with other apps that use the accessibility service such as Tasker, Llama and others.
Try the following that I've just been posted someone has tried:
For those who wants to try it do the following with your Samsung S3: - Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Talkback "ON" - Select "Settings" from the bottom of the page - Uncheck all Talkback options - Switch Talkback "Off" again - Go back to Settings -> Application manager -> All - Disable Google TTS (text to speech) - Disable Samsung TTS (text to speech)
I've reported this to samsung's research and development team and I've been told their development team is looking into it.
It doesn't happen with phones on ICS from other manufacturers.
I am still looking into ways around it though.
Bummer thanks for trying nice to have flashing working but don't like looking like a duffis in front of others when I go in my folders.

There seems to be a bug with the "USA and Canada S3 mode" it works fine with the root option, but with the US variant, in two hours, Light Flow was my number two app in Battery usage, and brought my power from 100% to 73%. For now I'm going to keep testing and see why it's doing this.
Has anybody else notice Android OS and Light Flow (number 1 and 2 on the list) use large amounts of cycles?

Here's what I want:
Phone gives no sounds or vibrations unless my FAVORITES call me. When they call me the phone VIBRATES only. No sound.
For all other notifications (texts, 3rd party notifications, emails, etc...) I want the LED to pulse. But the phone won't make a sound or vibrate. Then when I wake my screen, I see the notifications on my screen.
Right now I have it on priority only with CALLS from favorites only coming through. Volume all the way off and set to vibrate only. The LED pulses when I get texts, emails, etc. but I do not see the notifications on the lockscreen when I wake the phone. I did for awhile and I must have changed some setting because now they are not there. So I'll see the pulse, then I have to unlock it and the status bar shows the notification symbol for text, email etc..
Any help?

Has anyone got the Sleep function to work?
No matter what Light Flow settings I use - at night, the LED continues to light up my room, so I have to leave the phone face-down at the moment...
I've been emailing the developer about it - but he's waiting for his 5X to turn up (as he's also ordered a 6P, he has to wait for that to turn up in the same delivery...)
I have enabled notification light through Settings and am able to generate a white light flash (repeating) when gmail receives. Has anyone noted fingerprint security have any negative impacts on notifications like this (more curiosity than anything)?
Admittedly its been some time since I have had to use lightflow pro; good app, just been awhile so I may be rusty on settings I am betting.

I've tried every combination I can think of: root mode on/off, run every command as root on/off, etc. The best the app can manage is a brief pulse on, then off, then a quick on/off before the LED stays off. Have tried direct mode, too. Tried the Legacy version, but it doesn't cover a lot of apps.

I have only had it for one night but it seemed to work fine for me. I changed the sleep method to "time" (it defaults to NFC or something) and set the "start time" to 10:30pm and the "end time" to 6:00AM. I also have ambient display disabled. I am not sure what GWR is though. Also make sure in each app notification setting you do not have "exclude from sleep mode" checked.
I'm using paid version of LF. For now I'm not rooted.
I noticed behaviour you've already talked about.
1. If I'm using ambient screen I always have notifiction icon "Number of notifications". Can I hide that?
I know I can hide it if I disable app notification, but in that case Light flow don't work anymore ...
2. Is there any solution with messing ambient screen and LW led. After recieved notification ambient lights on few times and completely mess up LF ...
Is Legacy version solving those problems?
Thank you.
edit: I solved problem with legacy.
I have en issue with lighflow legacy that when I set my gmail notification to switch screen on, it won't play the notification sound correctly, the screen will light and notification sound is not completed when email is received, it is like once the screen switch on, the notification sound won't complete till the end. Anyone noticed that? disabling switch screen on, will make the notification sound fine.
I have this problem with a N5x and LightFlow.
It doesnt matter if I do use Lightflow normal or legacy, because on legacy I kept seeing a Lightflow notification and the screen turns on with ambient display continuously due to this :S
This is hands-down the best phone I have ever used, but I am quite disappointed that the LED notification light was omitted from the hardware.

Disable messaging and install Google phone and Messages. Mark them as default apps and give them proper rights and you'll have all notifications (home and lock screen). Don't know for Gmail, I use email.

Has optional a simulated notification led
Notifications can be previewed directly
It works for me with direct fingerprint unlock (others close the always on and you have to rescan again in the normal lock screen)
It also has some disadvantages:
Notification Led color and size cannot be customized
It offers a flashing edge, but this cannot be configured a lot and does not use the whole screen, which looks like bad
Weather only shows one configured location, no tracking based on GPS (it cat be set by GPS manually)
To get it work...
Disable Huawei always on
Set all rights for Autostart manually for this app
Exclude it from battery optimization
Give it all rights (I dont use the Cutted Edge feature, so it is not necessary to give draw over other apps right)
Configure the app without Open Camera on slide to left, it does not work
There is another app which has the best looking edge lightning https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe But I did not manage to see edge lighting + notification icons in this app and I always had to scan fingerprint twice.
I Have chines version AL00 and no problem with notification without led. Apk NoLed working perfect and I no longer miss the diode I was used to in Note 10. It was only possible to play in the settings and I'm happy. So i solved the problem with Nova launcher when I installed apk Fluid N.G. All I miss is a double tap on display on the Note 8, but I've already used to unlock my face or connect Xiaomi Stratos watch.
Yes works well for those that use always on display, but not if you don't.

Yes but I can not see why it is not used when it is the only way to display a no LED diode notification. The app has no effect on the battery life and I have a SOT over 13h and I usually spend over 2 days! Who has trouble with Always on display?
Good point. But led blinker is nice.

Yes, led blink is nice, but Mate 20X does not have it, which is a shame and I do not understand it because the Mate 20 diode is right over the camera in the tear ...
Just check out a YouTube video, the honor view 20 has a led notification light on the top. Mate 20 and pro also has it. Only mate 20x doesn't, that's sad!
NoLED is cool but the fingerprint sensor doesn't work properly, you have to press the power button first to be able to unlock with fingerprint.
Anyone knows a workaround or similar app? I've seen several for the OP6 but they don't seem to work with our phone.
I have my note 10 next to my note 8 and the 10 screen is not very white compared to my N8.
Anyone else notice or know how to fix it?
Make sure the blue light filter isn't on

Could be the blue light filter or screen temperature and/or screen mode.

Go under Display then Screen Mode and change it from Natural to Vivid. That should brighten your whites a lot more.

I've made mine slightly "colder" bit not by a lot

My blue light filter is off. But for some reason while using Vivid screen mode, the screen becomes more and more yellow after 6PM. On natural this doesn't happen.
Has any one observed this strange behaviour?

You have your blue light filter set from Sunset to Sunrise

No, it is off

It's the panel it seems Samsung have adopted a less whiter or warmer(?) one this time round, as all note 10 pluses I've held mine next to at stores etc are the same. My one plus 7 Pro is considerably whiter...

It's not a bad thing, I can assure you most Note 10/10+ have different screen calibration.
I have 3 S10 5G and the white looks different on all of them, lol. As a matter of fact even the native ONE UI dark mode looks different on all 3 units as well
This is clearly not a calibration issue. As I said this happens only in the evening time as if blue filter kicks in eventhough the filter is off. During day time the screen is white as usual.

Mine gets warmer when I go into Moon Reader Pro., its nice and cool white everywhere else on the phone And before anyone asks, yes BOTH blue light filters in the phone settings AND the moon reader settings are OFF.
I read somewhere that some people fixed it by going into Google books and apparently the blue light filter is turned on there and affects other apps. Dunno how much thats helpful since I didn't have G Books installed and when I did install it, the option was off but oh well
Checked that too. It is off there as well...

Hi there,
I was also wondering if there is another way (than the native tool) to adjust color temperature to set perfect white
Settings» Display»screen mode» vivd» move slider a little bit to the cooler side. Then go to advanced settings: turn down red, set green to about half and leave blue at full. Or adjust to your liking.
I've been making these adjustments since the note 8 but the note 10 seems more on the red side than normal.

Yes, thank you, that's what I did but I'm still looking for an app that allows more fine tuning

Just did a factory reset, and this issue is gone. Probably something wierd happened while restoring from Note 9 backup.

I had this issue too, at 8:30pm, and it affected Google Photos and Samsung Gallery.
I had a OnePlus3 and had the bluelight filter set to 8:30pm.
My fix was to go into Google Books, open a book, click on Aa and turn off the filter. I never use Play Books, so it was very perplexing.
Therefore, I'm convinced this is a hidden Android system setting that is no longer accessible and carried over from the Android restore process. I'm happy to be rid of the problem though.

You were right. I just downloaded the Play books and found out that night mode was set to "automatically".

It is a well known fact that restoring from an older or former device often results in certain conflicts, as the settings and other componets are different between devices, this I've heard since my note 3 days
