Light flow on the gs3

**sayheysarah** · 07-15-2012, 09:24 AM

So I downloaded light flow and was so excited to play with the colors when I noticed that the green led is always on when the screen is off. So I deleted the application. Any one know about this or settings I can change to disable that?

None issue. Dev is working on it. Has to do with the fact the S3 does not the colors in a standard way.

Noticed this too so I removed light flow until its fixed.

Same here. I'm confused why samsung didn't add options for the LED. Makes no sense to me

Oh well. Maybe they can get a fix so I can use it.

Lightflow doesnt work with US versions yet. They are working on a fix.. and will hopefully update very soon!

Has anyone tried the latest updates? Looks like it's been fixed for the US but the developer was testing on an AT&T model. Was curious if any Verizon S3's have given it a go yet.

yeah, still isn't quite working for me. actually, it's working worse. Before the update i'd get teh green light when it was nothing, but it'd change to purple when I did have an email or something.

now it sometimes flashes lights when I'm charging, not always the same color. I can't change or disable those settings (maybe this is a free version thing, but I ain't buying it until it works right..) and it doesn't always seem to alert me when I have a new notification.

Funny -- I just tried it out yesterday. The bugs noted in the OP seem to have been fixed, and everything pretty much worked just as advertised, but it was a bit "glitchy". the LED would kinda light up erratically at times, especially when there were more than one notification.

For me though, I ultimately uninstalled it after 24 hours because it seemed to really be killing my battery. I noticed a heavy drain during the day, but didn't think too much of it, but then last night I pulled it off the charger around 1 AM and went to bed (didn't leave it plugged in because I wanted to see battery drain). Got up at 6 and my phone was at 49% battery. (Yes, I know, not the best night's sleep either!). Normally, after 5 hours on standby my S3 is generally showing about 80-85%, so I was a bit shocked.

I can't fully determine if Light flow was the culprit after only 24 hours of use, but it just didn't seem to work quite right and I uninstalled it for now.

Thanks for the updates guys! I'd love to buy the app and am hoping all the little bugs can get worked out. I wonder if the AT&T variants are having the same issues.
