Way to disable notification light at certain times? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I was wondering if there was an app/tweak that would allow me to select times where I'd like to see the blinking notification light.
For example, if I want to turn it off overnight so i don't see it blinking all night when those pesky emails come in.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

I haven't figured out a way to turn it off period. The only option I have checked is for the LED to be on while charging. Yet it continues to blink for notifications. I think there are some known bugs with the US models' LED.
There is an app called Lighflow led that is supposed to give you complete control over notifications and the led but they are having issues specifically with the gs3.

Check out tasker. Their page says it works. I couldn't get it to work on my phone but YMMV. It may be an issue with this particular model though.

If you don't go into the app that is causing the notifications and turn off led notifications it will still blink regardless of system settings.

I have Juice Defender set up to disable all data (including auto sync) at night. I don't get any notifications until I turn on the screen in the morning. I have Ultimate and I know that feature isn't in the free version, but it works for me.

I could be wrong but stock email and gmail apps don't appear to have that option yet the led blinks for both.

Unfortunately it requires root and tasker, but if you have these it has worked perfectly for me so far. Let me know if you have any questions.

How to turn off the button lights?

Does anyone know of an app or a setting to control the touch button lights at the bottom of the screen?
i tried searching for a solution but found none.
I like reading off of the kindle app at night and with 22% brightness and white text on a black background, the result is a perfect experience -- except for the four blinding leds every time I turn the page...
This might also be helpful for those with issues during streaming video (i.e. Netflix).
I apologize in advance if this has been dealt with/is in the wrong place.

That is a very good question and I have the same problem while reading on my phone. I'm going to try and do some research to see if I can come up with a solution.
Try this. I don't know if it works or not yet

Bump for a good question

Install BLN control and check Activate Notifications. The lights will only stay on for a few seconds after you touch the screen/buttons.
Thanks for trying guys. I want to completely disable those bad boys. I know where they are. Don't need a searchlight!

Well you can't disable them. Not even the stock roms let you do that, the best bet is for them to only blink, which is they turn on when you're using them.
Some black tape works lol

Would the touchscreen still work with black/electrical tape? That makes me wonder, but I am lazy and have none on hand to test out.

No they don't. They stay at the setting in the app. Paul put it out its quality

If your using the app, yes the service MUST run. If its built into the kernel\ROM like CM7, then you dont even need the app
You shouldn't be running a task killer anyway. Android manages its services by itself killing system apps on a regular basis can make apps that need to be running in the back ground start again wasting battery. Plus your phone will act strange after awhile. You shouldn't use them.
Again this belongs in Q&A

Moved to proper forum.
Too bad I didn't read this thread earlier, I figured this out on my own today, doing the same thing, I changed my brightness to 1 (the lowest it would stay lit) , I do think this would definitely help out on battery life.

The Touch Key Lights app DOES NOT works properly with
1) Cyan 7 mod
I am using stock Android now, it works like a charm
One touch, and the program changes the value FOREVER (even after reboots, after I re-insert the battery...)

Notification light options?

Not having a notification light stinks are there any fixes out there?
A home button flashing or screen flashing? something....

Give this a shot, closes thing to what you are talking about.
Unfortunately, BLN no longer works and is supported on any kernels for our devices.

i did. twice.
Review last installed applications, maybe one of them is turning the LED on. Try stopping the apps.
Are you using something like lightflow to control the led?

If your using lightflow sometimes the LED can get stuck like this, just run lightflow app again and that should fix it

I'm not using light flow. But maybe I'll install it see if it will help. Worse case I'll just wipe everything and install again. Thanks for all the input guys

Was your phone around any type of moisture? Or did it get wet somehow? I've read in some of the water damage threads that some people experience the red flashing notification light after it's been damaged from water.
No i dont think it got wet it was on top of a table and the room was cool and dry

Some apps use a red notification LED by default. I know my fiancee uses the SportsCenter app and it pulses the LED red when there's a notification.
i see the same happen on my G2, usually when i pull into my driveway and i connect to my wifi
I'm a relatively new nexus 5 user and am sometimes confused by what the color leds correspond to. Is there a tool that will indicate which app sends which color led signal?
I know Push Bullet gives me green notifications. I'm stock as well.
I think i found the problem its my zynga poker app that gets a red notification light

I am rooted but using stock rom.
Various apps utilize led notifications but it is hard after a while to remember which color corresponds to which app. I thought there might be a tool, not to modify them but just to list which app sends which color. But I guess not.
Thanks.

If I remember correctly, the LED light does flash red when the phone is charging, I myself downloaded Light Flow, which allows you to manage all aspects of the LED light, I like it much better than not having control over it . But like you said you did nothing, so must be just an app you have.
I wonder if an app that monitored the logcat could deduce who the heck triggered the light so you could at least find out what app was responsible?

You can go to settings-apps.Check to see what is currently running. What kind of apps do you have that run all the time?
