Wrong Notification LED Color Mapping - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is super frustrating. International SM-N900. I first noticed this problem when setting my whatsapp blink LED colors and noticed that the colors was wrong. Turns out some the mapping is incorrect for the phone.
Can you guys test this along with me?
Download LED tester from google play.
I think the colors white and orange are broken

Damn that sucks - at least mine has a couple different colors.
I ran more test - even though the white looks green, it is actually a different shade than the actual green HEX color .. Don't know if I should be happy or not.

Tested with light manager 900T USA TMO works fine. Much better than the S3 which was like 4 colors.

Does your white has a green/yellow tinge?

The white is actual pretty white. Again coming from a TMO s3 that was never a pure color maybe my vision is skewed.

tested out one app already and the color wouldn't change from blue...i could only get it to show blue when i hit test no matter what color i selected... i'll try this other app some time, but i'm on the SM-N900W8 for what it's worth

First thing I noticed about mine N900T and wifes N900A. LED colors are all mashed up and mixed up.
I also just now ran the LED tester app, any color I chose results in the LED flashing green with a bit of red in it LOL

Pulse Notification Light

Hi All,

Any insights?

Also In order for the light to come on, your screen has to be off.
Is it only white? Light flow can't change the colors.

yep only white.
Oh, the things you learn in the XDA forums. I had originally thought that the notification light setting was a dead end, and immediately imagined how nice an LED pulse light would be on a tablet. Coming from the light-less ASUS TF300 that I just sold off for this... Absolutely brilliant. Placement on the tablet is a different story though...
Yeap mine work with all notification .
Hate only white though, should have more choices out of the box.

I set my notification light to a different color and speed for different tasks with Light Flow.

So, does it have a multi color led or not?
I'm interested in the new nexus 7 but notification led is a big deal for me :silly: as my current nexus 7 doesn't have it and I wish it had a multi color led.

Pulse LED stopped working
My LED notification light was working and now it isn't. I have the setting "on" but no bueno. Any idea how I get it to turn back on? I hadn't noticed it wasn't working until I read this thread...but I want it back!

Does the N3 have an led notification light?

Anyone know?
As the N2 does not.
Thanks in advance.

I would imagine that the N3 has an LED notification light. But the N2 also has an LED notification light. It is just left of the top speaker grille, above the Samsung logo.
Great thanks. If the N2 has one then the N3 should have one two.

From the hands on videos, it does Have a notification light
this guy has had a note 2 for a year, and didn't know he had an LED notification
I assume it is the tiny blue one like on the S4?
Iwas wondering same... I can't see any notification led but maybe I'm blind

Multi-color please
My fingers are crossed the notification LED is multi-color (and more than just red/green/yellow) so you can quickly identify the type of notification without relying on a blink pattern.

I have the S3 and never really noticed a "blinking pattern"...
Mine just blinks (blue and green and red). On / off / on etc.
Tell me more about this pattern?
There are 2 dots next to the speaker grill, so there should be a LED notification light.
As to multi colour led lights, you can always use apps that make multi led colours! I have atm purple, blue, red, orange, yellow and green for my notifications.

Some phones use a pattern to differentiate different alerts (text, email, voice mail, etc.) and there are apps that let you control this too as there are apps that let you assign different colors.

This only works if the LED supports those colors, some LEDs are only 1, 2 or 3 colors like the HTC EVOs. They use a pattern instead of color, otherwise red for charge, green when charged or blinking green for notification and yellow for low battery.
I just hope the GN3 notification LED supports multiple colors. Is the notification on other Galaxy phones multi-color?
I would assume the Note 3 would have something similar to the Note 2. I have red when charging, green when fully charged, blinking blue for most notifications, blinking green for a text message. Don't see why they would get rid of that.

If you have N2 and don't see LED notification light, then you probably won't see it on N3 either, because evidently you don't get anything to be notified about...
N2 has 3-color LED and these colors can be combined producing different colors (require additional apps or even kernel)
Don't worry guys, I'm sure the led is cheap enough for Samsung to keep in the GN3.
This video will answer all of you the questioning regarding the led notification:

NB: GN3 is the one on the RIGHT!

If anyone is still in doubt the Note 3 I had this weekend has a notification LED. I don't think Samsung has time to remove it in the next week or so.

So when you test the white led you get nothing? I'd just point out that on my white note 3 the white led is quite "pink-ish"in colour, not really true white. Get LightFlow and test out the different led colours with that.

Default Note 4 notification LED colors?

Seems a bit random to me.
Or very strange (for instance: red color for charging; orange would be better in this case).
What are default default notification colors for most common events in Note 4?
Thanks!

Who cares? Everyone here I bet manages them by personal preference. Use lightflow or LED manager on play store. Works like a charm everytime. Good luck!

Hi,
I have lightflow. But prior using it I want to understand stock color-app mapping. Maybe I won't need Lightflow at all.

I've never understood their color selection, that is why I don't pay attention to what samsung wants for their LED lights.
Good point. Thanks!
Sent from my SM-N910C using Tapatalk
Here is a list of the default colors:
Blue:
Pulses in multi-tone blue while the device is turning on or off.
Blinks blue for a missed call, message or other notification.
Blinks blue when you are recording a voice.
Red:
Glows red when the device is connected to a charger and is charging.
Blinks red when the device is connected to a charger but there is a problem with charging.
Blinks red when the battery is low.
Green:
Glows green when the device is connected to a charger and the battery is fully charged.
I hope this helps
Thanks!!!!

Well.. I installed good old Lightflow and everything's ok now (all email blue, all messaging green, missed calls and low battery red, charging orange).
Too bad Samsung uses strange colors and doesn't allow to change them. I was not a fan of lightflow as it uses battery. Maybe things have changed...
