1.yes it has
2.multi colored LED, you can change the colors via that settigns menu you mentioned.
3.in sgs2 BLN is used with touch button lights, so not sure about this part.
anyway sgs3 will be my first mobile with LED notification

Led notification, is for me, one of the best features of the S3. I know, it's something simple, but I think it's great to have it on the S3. It's very helpful...

Hi,
Will it support Lightflow so you can choose which colour for which notification - this is a great feature on my Galaxy Nexus as you can tell whether you have a missed call, email, SMS etc without picking up the phone.
This would make the new smart vibrate function on SIII redundant!
Cheers.

I didn't know that many phone did not have a LED notification. Actually my past couple phones have had them and were very helpful. When I heard this might not I was confused as its a top of the line phone. Different colors for different people and programs = no more randomly turning on your phone.

well, maybe with S-Voice you will just ask your SGS3 for what you missed and it will let you know?

It just turns them on/off with the exception of changing colors for the notification light.
This is pretty nifty.
Just in case someone was wondering what the use-case for this could be, try this scenario; you're having issues with your LED and you're unsure if it's just the ROM or something is physically wrong with the LED.
This could prove to be quite useful in diagnosing it.
Great work, yousefak
Sweet, I was wondering when something like this would arrive.
Is really like a script that makes my led blink different when I have missed calls or texts. For example it would flash green red green red green red really fast for a missed text, or green green green red red red for a missed call. All over a period of a second or so.

If you want notification led support, try light flow from the android market. I used it before and it works very nicely. You can make it flash colors, change speed, combine colors, etc. for different notifications.

Unknown notification and email envelope notification not showing

Hi
Can anyone tell me what the icon notification on the top left of my screen shot is?
Also, I have Gmail and the default email application setup with email accounts but I don't seem to get the envelope icon in the notification area when I get a new email now.

You have disable notification (this is why this icon is here and why you have no notification for your new email)

Many thanks.
How do I turn these notifications back on?
Hi
I've got exactly this problem. I never knowingly disabled notifications but now even an SMS won't show it's icon.
I did however install Lightflow... perhaps that caused the issue?
AND the silly left pointing arrow & minus sign icon shows even when there are NO notifications.
Anyway, how do I get these icons to come back?
(PS I'm using a Galaxy S3 but can't edit my signature file below)

Your notifications are off. Pull down your Notification screen and turn on your Notifications. Why they put this in the Notification are, I will never know.
Found it!
Ahh you beat me to it
Thanks I eventually discovered this after exploring some more. I was busily creating a picture when your post came though.
I've attached the picture in case anyone else stumbles across this post with the same issue.

[Q] Gray Arrow with minus or plus sign

I keep reading that the gray arrow with the minus or plus sign is "notifications off" but I don't see a toggle to turn it on or off. It's not in the pull down menu, even if I go right or left. Tmobile and others seem to have it, so maybe AT&T doesn't have the toggle? Where is the setting to turn it on or off?
Looks like this

I asked twice and no one helped. They just said it was there, look. Are people just going to ignore me?
edit: it was moved, sorry good sir, but I asked on other forums (international galaxy s 3) and they didn't say anything.
What do you see when you access the notification menu with the toggles ?

Nothing, no notifications. I think it changes when I get one, shows a + instead of a - sign. But I rebooted it and it went away. Not sure why it came up in the first place and not sure how to fix it (besides a reboot)
When I installed the chrome browser and did the login the plus thing happened to me too. And when I pulled down the notification bar I was able to click on the plus arrow and it took me to a password login area. Hope that helps bro.

I know that I get the + icon when I have a crap load of notifications (not enough room to show all icons in the status bar). Not sure about the -. Maybe it wants you to hurry up and clear some notifications?

[Q] Vibrate issue

I have a HTC One, and I have a trouble with the Vibrate because I hate it alot. I tried to turn off the Vibrate but I dont know how. There are only 3 option in Sound setting: Normal, Vibrate and Silent. Anyway, how I can disable Vibrate when I use the normal setting (ringtone). for Incoming call

I am also annoyed by the vibration, and not being able to separate it from sounds. I have the "Vibration feedback for calls" unticked, but every damn notification sound is still accompanied by a double vibrate. I have searched extensively, can't find an app that will separate vibration from sound reliably, or any answer to this for the HTC One M7. Kind of ridiculous that it is locked in like this - first HTC smartphone I ever had (Wizard) vibration to be unticked from any system sound - I think this was part of Windows Mobile 5 and 6.
I have the same problem, but I think the issue is in jellybean in general, not the Rom. I've tried everything but no luck. The only workaround was to turn off vibrate from all apps. Then I use a separate app called Vibration Notifier that I turn on when I am in vibrate mode.

Question Notification LED

Hey Guys,
I wonder if the 1 III still has notification light. Anyone saw something?
Greetings
Well, maybe you'll be able to spot it.
I couldn't but most likely it just blends in very well. I watched a similar video on Xperia 1 II and couldn't spot it either (II has the led).
Even more, all the Sony phones I've seen have it. So I will be really surprised and disappointed if 1 III does not.

Light Manager 2 changes the color of the LED but not the flashing frequency
I hope this notification led to be bigger.
Anyone remember great W980 calmshell and its transparent plastic part with orange led inside? This was acting as notification led and looked awesome!
I wonder why they no longer create so beautiful phones like W980
Now we just have a "dot" but it is still better than nothing.
I still hope for xperia 1 Arc flagship, maybe with some of this W980 design?
how do you know what the light means? sometimes i see white and sometimes green (when not charging). all i do know is when charging, orange means charging and green charged.
Red color means battery level is 15% or below.
Orange color means battery level is between 15 - 90% and charging.
Green color means battery level is 90% or higher.
Now different apps may show notifications / blinking notifications with different colors. For example in what's app you can choose what color notification led should have for notifications coming from this app so that tou know it is coming from what's app
Anyone know if there are any other apps to customise the led notification light aside from light manager 2?
Another problem I noticed is the following. When the phone is on standby with the ambient display activated when a new notification comes the screen is not activated although I have selected it in the settings. This of course also happens in Samsung but applications like glimpse notification work there. It does not work on Sony, however. Have you found a solution for this? Also for the ambient display it should have an activation schedule
