What sort of notification LED does the Galaxy Note have? I've used three different Android phones since the original G1 and it feels like they're turning into pretty useless two or three colour things now. The G1 had a multi-colour LED, something like six or seven colour choices, as did my Motorola Milestone but my current phone, the HTC Desire HD, has a pathetic tri-colour LED. I was seriously considering the new One X but that has a dual-colour LED!
Anyway.. getting sidetracked. Can a Note user please tell me what, if any, notification LED the phone has and what colours it can display if it does have one? I know this won't be a big deal to a lot of people but I relied pretty heavily on the multiple colours in the past.
it has none.
None.
But, you can install a custom kernel that supports notification light and software to enable indicator light, such as when you have a new email. Then your soft buttons will be lit up.
I think there's also variations of quality on those soft touch lights. I had two Note, one had clear soft light on the soft button, the other had dirty looking light on the soft buttons. Both works fine, but just something to know.

as what jeremy.chan and hp79 have said that the SGN has no notification indicator. but if we are taking about custom kernel to have the touch key light as the indicator, it will be white in color.

The only notification LED you can have is the soft touch keys backlight. It will be white in color and you can change the blinking rate to your custom setting.
You require root and a custom kernel like abyss which supports this and attain the said functionality by using this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsIm5lbGRhci5ibG4uY29udHJvbC5mcmVlIl0.
Hit thanks if it helped
If your on stock rom, install Noled app from market.
Thanks for the replies everyone, I appreciate it It's strange to see such a useful feature missing or reduced from what it started out as but I'm sure there are reasons behind it.

Bad Samsung user interface? Samsung arrogance? Silly patents? Doubt there's a good reason.
But you aint gonna change it, so you'll just have to live with it!

It's possible make a notification like the iPhone 4 ?, whit the flash led, if you have a notification blink two times or something similar.
PD: sorry for my english
Hi Everyone.
I bought a Galaxy S 2, im very happy with it, but there is somethig about im worried.
The touch buttons (Menu and Back) have different light intensity. The Menu button is more bright than Back button. Is this normal? Should I return it for another one?
I have this problem with my S4 Active, and I had it with my Note 2, but I have never managed to find out why. The S4 is on the official ROM, only rooted, while the Note 2 had different ROMs: When I'm using the phone for surfing, or whatever, so the display is on, I don't get the incoming call screen where I can slide to answer or reject a call. I have to turn off the phone with the power button and wait for 3-4 seconds, and then the display will come on and show me the call screen. I have tried changing dialers, between original and a couple of different third party dialers, but it doesn't change anything. Has anybody else seen this, and do you know the reason or the cure?
Turned out to be Gesture Control, in all probability.
Hey everyone, I have a samsung tab 3 7.0 and the screen this morning would not illuminate. I can faintly see the time and home screen and it responds to touch and I can hear sound however you can barely see it at all. Opened the back and there are no lose cables from what I can tell (removed and re attached all ribbons). Seems like there is no backlight.
Any ideas?
I had a Oneplus 8 and iPhone 12 just picked up a Pixel 5
I thought when I received a notification the screen would wake up, like when you touch to wake the screen. The screen would get bright.
With the Pixel 5, when I get a notification, the screen does show the notification but the screen doesn't light up, so it's hard to see the notification from a distance. Is there a setting in the Pixel 5 that does that or did that change that type of notification?
Or an easy hack?
