Has anyone found an app yet that will change the color of the notif led for sms, missed calls, email, etc? I have tried many apps with no results.
Have you seen the LED show any other color besides blue?

red and purple.
Sorry won't work... I'd suggest you try this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730692
I'm almost positive there is a full RGB notification light! D: I'm praying there is!
The NoLed app doesn't work at all on the Epic. Even with it set up correctly, the screen will turn ON for about 5 seconds, turn off THEN show the notification. Rather buggy and doesn't wake up from sleep sometimes.
Also, NoLed is a battery drainer. No thanks, the Epic has a notification light. We just need someone skilled who can develop a program like TrackballPro for the Nexus One!
I have seen that app before. I betcha that would REALLY drain our batteries. Im not lookin for an alternative i want led customization. the colors i have seen are red, blue and magenta.
Magenta or purple? What notifications give those? Seems like every notification is red, and 100% charge is blue. that's all i've seen.

No system notification gives the magenta color....
But randomly when the phone is fully charged (blue), i'll take it off the charger and it will flash magenta for about 2 seconds. I've seen it multiple times, but its possible that its just a combination of the blue/red leds.
I would hate it if the led blinked red for everything besides being fully charged. I really hope samsung didnt stick with a 2 color led

Light Flow - LED Control?
I (of course) do not have root, but I am running light flow. It seems to be working fine, the LEDs that should go on are working and in the proper colors.
I have unchecked all the LED notifications under settings.
However, when I turn my phone off, the green LED light goes on immediately. It is not plugged in, and it's down to around 92% battery or so.
I even tried disabling all charging/battery related LEDs but still the green LED is on.
Anyone else having this? Any thoughts?
Light Flow is known to cause problems on the S3.

And I was wanting to download and use that.
Yes, I see after further testing that uninstalling light flow fixes the issue. Dangit, it appears light flow is far and away the best LED app. I put a note in feedback about it, hopefully the dev will be able to solve it. I'll try it again once we have root for the US version.
Any know if the light flow creator is working on this?
It's listed in the known issues on the developer's site, so I assume they are working on it:
hxxp://www.folioflow.com/ff/page/website/lightflow/pageId/1931
it has something to do with interactions with the built in notifications.. if you disable them then light flo doesnt work.. if you turn them on then whenever the phone goes to sleep a green light comes on.. bummer
i used the LED color tester app and all the LEDs colors are off from what the previous commands were, i guess... so its going to be a while until the led programs work properly
Does any else have a issue with their LED Notification Light not working?
No light when charging, or SMS, or Email, Missed Call, Low Battery... never lights up. Almost thought they forgot to install the LED until I used LightFlow to test it. And even then it only works when the screen is off, once the power button is pressed to turn the screen on then LED goes off, even though I set LightFlow to clear notification Manually. (LightFlow was just used to test if the LED was installed/functional.)
Uninstalled LightFlow, send myself a couple test emails and text(from another phone) and There was no LED notification light, just the notification sound.
Really hoping this is a software issues so I don't have to request a replacement device from Google...
Edit/Update: I'm pretty sure this is a software related issue and not hardware, as the LED is there and functions (with the help of 3rd party app, which we should not have to use) - So I'm trying to get a poll here of how many people have issues with the LED Notification light not working. Something to report to Google/Bug Report.

I believe the reason is that the software has not been updated to be completely compatible with 4.2+

What software are you referring too? LightFlow?
This topic has nothing to do with LightFlow...

Mine doesn't work either. I tried LightFlow and while it did light up the LED for some things, but not all that I selected, it was too faint to see, have to be in total darkness to see it.
The led isn't supposed to flash when the screen is on. Its been this way with every nexus.

But does your LED work when the screen is off? Mine and the OP's don't unless you use a third party app.

I don't know. I've had lightflow installed since first boot.

Is the Notification Light activated under display settings?
Mine worked, but not really well, I only saw it once when sending myself a test mail. Now I'm using Light Flow, which works nearly perfect (sometimes it doesn't seem to work until I enable the screen for a second and then disable it again)

Pulse notification light is checked
Im having the same problem. My led doesnt seem to come on no matter what. I know it worked out of the box because I have seen it light up with light flow but now im wondering if it quit completely and if I should do an RMA.
Mine has been working fine. It's white for TXT's, green for a lot of other things like FB and whatsapp
Yes the "Pulse notification light" option is checked.
I woke today with 6 New emails, 4 text messages, and 1 missed call... No LED Notification light was on, blinking or doing anything.
There not being a notification light is bugging the heck out me, 'cause I depend on them when my phone is on silent at work so I'm able to know there is a message waiting without having to stop what Im doing to turn the screen on every 5 min.

Try 'Blink'
Try the app 'Blink' very simple and its works for my N4
are you waiting 10 seconds before turning the phone on? Thats how long it takes before it blinks again. Whoever programmed the LED truly hates LED notifications because he made it blink so slowly and dimly that nobody could possibly notice it.

Yup, sat there watching the phone for a good 2-3 min after hearing the Notification sound for new email / text. (screen off)
Not sure if its suppose to or not, but I don't even get a LED Notification light when the phone is charging or charged (have to turn phone on to check if the phone is done charging.) Past devices I've had used the LED to notify of charging/charged.
It's normal that it doesn't glow when charging. I really can recommend Light Flow, then you can customise the notification as you wish (the free version is good, I bought the full version because I need steam support, but for normal use there is no need to buy it)

Ok, so my notification light wouldnt work no matter what. I uninstalled sms popup and now light flow works like it should. I guess the sms popup was somehow blocking light flow from allowing it to activate.
No notification light shows while charging, hence why when you charge the phone when it's off, it shows an animation on the screen. It should for calls, texts, emails, etc. though. Mine works. It even shows blue for facebook and white for texts/emails. Not sure why it wouldn't work. Have you gotten the 4.2.1 update?
Additionally, light flow states in its description that it doesn't work on most lg phones.
Does anyone know of a way to do this? Or is it a bad idea?
What are you trying to do?

You can use the flash to notify you. Settings >Accessibility >Hearing> Flash Notification
I think that he wants to use the red light that's part of the heartbeat sensor as a light for notifications. The problem with the flash notification is that the flash is really bright. Using the dimmer red light would be less intrusive unless there's a way to control the brightness of the normal white flash.
Or use the notification light. That's what it's designed for. Lol
