Is there a way to assign a colour to the notification LED? Like green for whatsapp and red for Gmail? I can't see a way to make the change and the current colour scheme seems to be inconsistant. I've downloaded Light manager which has no effect.

Whatsapp has an option to do that. Look in in the Settings/Notifications
For Gmail you will need a 3rd-Party-App like this

Iv been thinking about buying this phone and seeing this thread means it actually DOES have a notification LED? I couldn't tell from any of the reviews or pictures out on the net.

The notification LED is built within the top speaker grill to the right hand side.. And many reviews do mention it...
Does anyone else have an issue where the colors aren't working correctly? Light flow doesn't seem to work either..
I notice that the led colour is limited. I can get red, blue, green, and magenta working that's it.
See these threads for more info about how the LED works on this phone:

Is there an app for the Droid X that lets you change the color of the LED when you receive an SMS or gmail message? Right now when you get an email or sms is flashes green, I would like to be able to change this. I know that Handscent will let you change the color for SMS, but I don't want to use it. I like the native SMS app on the Driod X.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
I'm in the same boat. I can get blue, red, pink, orange but the custom led can't produce any other colors. I would think that if we can pink and orange that we could get yellow. Can someone give us some info on how the hardware works? Or is this software issue. Thanks

I've not seen pink or orange on my Droid X.
All notifications I get are green.. when I get a call the led turns blue, and when my battery is about to die it turns red.
I know the original Moto Droid had many colors, cyan, purple, etc.. I hope the LED on the Droid X is the same.
also.. why no charge LED?!?!? I hate not seeing an orange LED when it's charging.. this could be fixed in a simple firmware update.
I use sm_hancent for messagin, and that app lets you change led colot, only works when u get a massage though lol

It looks like the touch surface at the bottom of the device has slight translucent look about it. Might it serve as a notification LED as well?
I think the chances are good. I noticed that as well.
Also, in the video over on android central of the g4 rom running on the nexus, he mentions led notifications built into the rom. I'm not sure if he mean built into the hacked rom or the standard rom.
Hopefully there is

Problem is that development will now have to corporate that in to the roms
I can confirm that there is LED notification located just to the left of the ambient light sensor. There is also a Notification flash setting under the display settings. Flash LED light notifications optinos include: Missed call, SMS/MMS, Email, Voicemail, Reminders, and Alarms. Of course it is also used as a charging notification.

There are multiple color options. I do not know which colors are for what but I do know that emails are green.
Great now I have to decide... HD7, or myTouch 4g?
I'm kinda scared to shift to a new OS, just because it is so new that I have no idea if it will adjust well with how I use a device, however... if I get the 4g it will take forever for official updates to come to the device...
So hard... I guess I will have to try both devices at the T-Mobile store.

Definitively android. wp7 will be a flop.
I too can confirm. youtube wirefly's channel. they got a unboxing AND a small review. (the review has the notification light blinking)
Can anyone who has actually used the phone confirm that there's an LED for notifications and that it's functional? Thanks.

If you use a 3rd party messaging app like goSMS, then yes. I'm not sure about facebook, but there are other apps like liteflow that can help with LED notifications.
Just as an FYI though, nothing seems to be able to control the GS3 LED properly yet. Colors seemed to be reversed, no blinking, ect... I have changed mine though, using goSMS I have a red notification for new txt messages, using k9 I have a green notification for mail, ect... You may just have to mess with the colors to get the one you really want.
i tried using lightflow but when their was a black screen their would be a green led on all the time.

Known issues. The dev blog explains the problem and his progress towards fixing it.
Hi all,
Noticed a white pulsing light on my n5 earlier.... Then I received a message via Skype and I swear it pulsed blue....
Can anyone confirm we have different colours and/or how to customise them.
Cheers!!

I think it'll be white by default. Some apps will have LED notification support built in with the ability to choose their own colour. The Lightflow app will give you more control over it.

They work if that's what you're asking. Light Flow and Light Manager are the two I tested. Definitely prefer LF of the two.
Light manager seems to work for sms but not email. Always on also does not show email notifications. Arg!

LightFlow is not working for me. Did you enable the LED in the display settings and did you enable or disable the workaround for Samsung?
I have been emailing the dev for light manager. in order to get it to work, you need to turn on the 5.1 workaround in the apps settings and you have to let it wake the screen for notifications. then the led colors work correctly. one thing that does break is you can not longer expand the gmail notifications in the notification pull down shade. he said he doesn't have an S7 yet to test on but is getting one.
LED Blinker Work correctly
I didn't install light manager yet. I'm just using signal for SMS and changing color of LED in its settings. inbox is blue and I guess missed calls would be the same blue default. Works for now. Also charging is red by default and green I think when charged...

Yes LED Blinker works. I have tested under S7. And many customers told me, too.
Just enable workaround 5.1.1 in app settings (its needed for Android 6, too sadly).

Same here. (With Light Manager) So it seems to be a hardware/model related issue.

Needed screen on for me too (for Gmail at least, some apps worked okay - Handcent/Whatsapp). Which I didn't really want to use but it's better than nothing at this stage.
Ah, sorry, it's Light Manager I used - I was trying a few and got confused!
Ok then what now? Do we return it to samsung and ask for a good one or just live with it??

LED Blinker works, but has the same problem that all of the other LED notification programs have....The Gmail notification icon in the status bar will not auto clear after reading email. It must be cleared manually. Light Manager does the same thing, and according to the developer, it is an issue with Android 6.0

you have to disable the light/led in all apps you use, gmail doesnt have such option, use google inbox instead.

Thanks, but I use Google Apps, with multiple email accounts, so Google Inbox really doesn't work well for my use.
