Hi, I've just got the s3 mini and it looks as if it has no notification leds.
So there is no visible way of knowing things unless you open your phone display.
Is this correct, my phone isn't broken is it?
If this is the case the its lacking a very fundamental feature
man, i hope that is not true..i heard rumors.
SIII mini has no led.
notification led
It's true. The galaxy s III mini doesn't have a notification LED. I've got this phone since 10 days now.
i can confirm too, by the way it's a great phone !
it has no LED but the manual explains how to turn it on and off (manual says go to settings => display => notification LEDs).
the only thing is that there is no such menu in the settings of the device, which is weird to say the least...
let's hope an system update or custom rom will correct that.

I don't see anything on my device and the german manual says nothing about a notification LED. We also tested it with a app called "blink", the galaxy s III shows the LED, the galaxy s III mini doesn't...

No, it does not have a notification LED and there's no entry for it in the Settings -> Display menu.
You've got your manuals mixed up, since in mine no such thing is mentioned.
I'm using noLED app, which has a bunch of options and notifies me.

i'm speaking about official manual app that is in the app list. it is the same for everyone.
Oh, I didn't even open that... Yeah, seems to be a problem with it, since it presents a manual for the options present on the S III.
If you want the manual for the S III Mini, then you can download it here.
would this mean that samsung has issued a device with a manual and that this manual is about another device than the one it is supposed to serve?
So the consensus now is that it does not have a physical notification led or that it is disabled in software or something?

Definitely no LED notification light on S3 mini. You do have vibrate on pick up setting for notifications.
Hm, real shame, I was planning to get this phone as it looks to be the top android performer with 4" display (optionally xperia p, but that phone is hard to spot in my country + non-removable, weak battery & no memory card). How can something like this be omitted on today's phones?!
Dont worry about the led nottifications.. soon as the developer comunity expands im sure someone will relese a kernel with led notifications on the soft keys.(like the original sgs)
Пратено со Tapatalk 2 од мојот SGSIII mini
Did anyone hear about such soft-keys notifications? It would be really nice if the phone had this kind of visual notifications.
If you go to the s3mini original android development section, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153107, you can flash this kernel by neldar and follow instructions on first post. I can confirm that notification lights are working...

Well this one isn't so difficult but I though I'd share for those that have not worked it out yet.
The LG Device Test "HiddenMenu" is apparently on all shipping phones and it's simply disabled via removing the menu entry.
To activate you need to create a shortcut to this hidden menu. You can do this with most replacement launchers and apps like BetterCut.
Example using LauncherPro (others will use a similar method):
Long press on home screen
Select Shortcuts
Select Activities
Scroll down to and expand com.lge.hiddenmenu
Select HiddenMenu (first entry)
Enter Shortcut name
Click on shortcut to launch
Hit 'Thanks' below
Also now Logcat app:
As above
Scroll down to and expand LG Debug
Select LG Debug (first entry)
Enter Shortcut name
Click on shortcut to launch
Hit 'Thanks' below
Enjoy the vast amount of options and tests in there, and be careful as some are destructive.

Wtf I just dimmed my touch buttons nice.
The brightess of the buttons was to bright for using the phone as a ebook reader at night the setting stays avyive even after exiting the test.
Btw is the thanks button only displayed on the site and not in tge xda app?

I experience the same issue, but even more annoying, it keeps displaying unread messages on the lockscreen until i reboot.
I'm using Handcent, guess the lockscreen gets the unread count from the original messaging app. If anyone know of a fix, please do share.
Hi alls. For those experiencing some nagging issues like lag or bugginess, are your phones rooted to Gingerbread or...? Thanks!
No, rooted stock froyo 2.2.2 in my case.

I don't think I get the former, but certainly dodgy behaviour immediately after boot.
I have started getting the message count now when the stock screen flashes up. It seems to count all messages, read or otherwise.
Perhaps somebody can start a confirmed & common bugs thread in General for a good collection of them.
Some more:
I can't use a long complex password to connect to a WiFi-G AP, but a simple password works just fine.
Music controls return to notification shade sometimes after a reboot, box in Music app is still unchecked.

Hi Guys;
Is there a working APP for HD2 which can set LED on for charging, blinking for missed call etc?I tried many from Market but worked very weirdly!
Also i am missing the old notes of WIndows mobile where we could write with the hand to save a note.I found an app for Android but it saves as an image and then it cannot be modified any more
Any suggestions for these two?
Thanks
For the first one:
If you're using a CM7 based build,(it should already be enabled) but you can set it from settings>cyanogenmod. Otherwise, install "Led Me know" from market.
For the second:
Sorry, I don't know
Thanked.But where is the LED in the CM settings?i cannot find it.I have American android!

Weird, I have it on CM7 (HyperDroid NAND) . Your best bet is to try Led Me know.
P.S : (it possibly could be due to the light libraries, maybe AmericAndroid is using the new ones? ) idk )

Hi..
I am going to jot down points of change noticed in my Galaxy Note after ICS update.
1. Gallery
Much much faster than earlier.
Used QuickPic earlier but now no need
2. Browser
Amazingly fast loading over 3G / Wifi..
Roughly 10 times faster processing.
New neater look.
3.Contacts
Upper 5 icons are only four. Phone/Groups/Contacts/Favourites. The logs feature used to be there is gone now
4. Gmail
Amazing appearance.
Downloading attachment shows % downloaded. Very good.
30 days sync instead of custom.
Swipe to see next or previous emails.
5. Snote S memo Splanner
Everybody knows the new features
6. Task manager
Thumbnail view of recent tasks plus sliding close of the same.
7. Notification bar
6 icons now: Power saver profile added.
Individual notifications can be closed by sliding.
8. SETTINGS: SOOO MANY MAJOR CHANGES
Wifi Bluetooth can be on off using sliders.
Data usage can be controlled per month or similarly.
Bluetooth internet tethering.
Display battery percentage remaining.
Face unlock.
9. MISC
Youtube: Better interface
Applications can be disabled individually without rooting.
This will be updated regularly.
Any more additions are welcome.
You can show your current battery percentage on the upper notification bar beside the clock. For those who dont know how, check settings > display > show battery percentage.
Its a good feature compared in gingerbread as we have to use another app to show the percentage
Sent from my GT-N7000
wow,nice post!
as far as i have seen it with the new task manager (or more the screen you get when you hold the home button) is that you not only see applications that are open but also applications that are closed but were recently used.
Sliding them just removes them from the quick list as there isn't anything to close
i know you kinda wrote that too, i just wanted to clarify it for the people that might have misunderstood you with that
@boe2hoets: wow cool,didn't know that, thanks!

One question.
How come I didn't get premium suite on my Gnote?
I read in some of the forum that some didn't get the premium suite and sadly that include me.
Is there any other way to get premium suite....officialy?

OK. i did some work.
It is actually possible to do it with Light Flow Lite app from market.
Only thing you need to do is that:
1) In settings, it will detect additional leds on the phone (apart from notification and camera)
2) You need to allow control for logo-backlight1 control and logo backlight2 control
3) After defining these, you will be able to select them in the notifications you want to customize
4) When customizing your notifications, you only need to set their state to solid (both 1 & 2)
Only issue is that i couldnt get them to flash. It stays only solid white color.
I have tried for missed call notification and it works fine. Only thing am worried is battery life (coz 2 leds in use and probably bigger leds than the real notification led.
Cheers,

I have root, but do not know whether its needed.
Make sure you have allowed control to additional leds as mentionned in settings.
To all of you who don't like the bright lights on hardware keys, both suggestions are for stock or stock based ROMs, search in Play Store:
LG Touch Key Lights
(don't know for stock ICS, but for for GB there was a workaround in hidden menu, but hey an app with "Set on boot" are way more comfortable) than hidden menu. Searching this might lead to some other goodies, I know many have had requests for the hardware keys for notifications like:
LG Touch Led Notification
Let's hope he'll update it or some of our devs continue it as touch led is no longer under active developed
As both apps described there's no link, the authors deserves all attentions.
While at it, I'm planning to zip all my Xperia mods like Sony Walkman, launcher, album, clock, weather and more, but it won't happen before:
1. Got the authors permission to zip them or
2. Just link to their treads
Anyway, can't promise yet, but I hope to get this done as those o2x owners who appreciate Xperia launcher and minimalism deserves even more from Xperia
