Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGS3) LED Colors and Blink Rate Broken
(Update) Turns out this is likely only on the Verizon GS3
As of 9AM on 7/13/2012 the LED notifications of Samsung Galaxy S3 devices in the US are broken. I don’t know if it’s all carriers, but….. It’s definite that the SGS3 does not respect either the deprecated or modern methods of settings the blink rate and color of the LED. The color tables are borked, where Color.BLUE, Color.RED do no generate the respective colors. The blink rate does not respect millisecond off and on values defined.
To be specific the follow deprecated notification methods do not work properly:
notification.ledARGB = Color.GREEN;
notification.ledOnMS = 300;
notification.ledOffMS = 1000;
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_SHOW_LIGHTS;
Also the following modern notification methods do not work properly:
notification.setLights(Color.GREEN, 500, 5000);
