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

Hi has anyone found a app that is.compatible with the galaxy tab led.flash light?
I have tried the following but no success so far.
Mobile light
Switch widget pro light widget toggle
Simple light (which claims to be compatible.with galaxy tab)
Led light
A few others that I have since removed.

Use tiny flashlight + led, in the app itself(not working in widget), once the light is on, press on the onscreen button again while the light is still on to keep it on, press that button again to off it.
Meaning, press once to turn it on, press it again while the light is on to keep it on, press 3rd time to turn it off. It's obviously a bug, but great workaround for our overprotective tab

Thanks,
it doesn't seem to work but i have a suspicion that it may be to do with the Kernel that i am currently on ([OC1.2&1.4GHz][KernelPatch])
might jump back over to modaco's and see what results i get
Yeah I once used LED Light by picolyl , its in market . It worked nice on my JMEv2

Cheers, ive got both the Flash Light apps now and i have just installed the modaco Kernel to see if it resolves my light light issue.
Seems to be working "better" (i.e. the flash light does come on now) but my light goes on and off while using these programs
I wonder if its an issue compatibility issue then. as i am also running overcome rom 1.1.3 + modaco kernel similar to your setup.

Do as I said previously, and u will have light keeps on instead of couple sec off, remember, when the light is on, press the button again!! Not working in widget mode, please follow instructions to the word before saying it's not working.
Have a look at 'Flashlight' in the market too. Does the LED light, but also has some fun options for the screen. Red/blue flashing lights, Amber warning lights, etc. Works fine on my Tab.

just for the sake of warning tho, 1 thing I noticed is that the light density is a bit different from still photo flash vs video light

+1 for flashlight!
Anyone know why my LED light is always on when the screen is off?
I have no alerts, a full battery, no new messages, etc..
It was a yellow solid light then i installed light flow lite and it changed to green.
I've tried to eliminate any color that uses green to find what is using it, but for some reason it always comes on when I turn the screen off.
Its a known issue with Light Flow for the US sg3.

turn off notifications in LED notification settings in the setting menu
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+

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.

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.
Light flow didn't led flashing. Anybody got same problem?
Same, only custom flashing doesn't work when I turn on root for it. The app should be updated for compatibility soon enough
"Light Manager" seems to work ok
Yeah, it'll take time for him to get it all working I dare say.
I installed it, it's flashing fine. However I've noticed 2 issues when using it.
First is the colour rendering of the LED isn't accurate, especially in the cyan range. Put turquoise, sea green, light green and they all come out the same shade of light blue, no matter how much I try and customise it.
Secondly when changing the sleep mode settings, I set it to stop "vibrate only" when it's enabled, leaving the LED and the sound entact. Unfortunately it disabled not only vibrate, but sound as well even tough the tick box was left unticked.
I might switch the logging on, and pass over my findings. Andrew is usually pretty good at responding to any issues to be fair.
Just got my nexus today! Playing with the notification light and doing some research. Seems light flow and led blinker cause the ambient display to come on randomly. I also tried light manager but that gives a persistent notification in the notification shade which is annoying. Any suggestions?

light flow works great for me (I turned off ambient display, as it doesnt work very well even without light flow installed). You can also, in light flow, turn off the switch screen option, which will also help with ambient display.
as for the persistent notification, that is a marshmallow issue for the time being, the light flow developer explained it quite nicely (ill try and dig it up).

Yeah, I mean I just got the phone today but ambient display is a little wonky. I thought it was supposed to turn on every time I take my phone out of my pocket, but if doesn't.
But where is this screen option in light flow?
The persistent notification is only with light manager. I don't get one with light flow.

give it time, on its own, it will come on also
In light flow, I am not sure if it is on by default, but if you go to main settings > general settings, there is an option for device admin, if that is checked, you will also have an option to switch screen on (which you can enable/disable on a per notification basis) . You could if you wish use this option instead of light flow, it may work better for what you like as well.
