Really.......

Pretty much every flagship Android device (SGS3/Moto Droid 4/RAZR/HTC One X) has an LED notification light tooThen don't buy an iPhone. Go buy a Blackberry.
Really.......lights flashing are so..... 90s
This should be a message to everyone. Apple doesn't care one bit about the consumer. If it did, it would've kept Google Maps and it would've implemented at least an optional LED notification light by now.
Instead, they eliminate the best mapping option available and ignore a feature that would be so ridiculously simple to implement, and clearly a ton of users want.

They already have: How To Make iPhone Camera LED Notifications Work
Are you running a custom ROM? My GS3 LED indicator menu looks completely different and doesn't have all those optionsThe GS3 notification menu allows you to add or remove any apps from notify and you can set a "silent period" during the night/day as needed.
The attached capture shows the menu for the GS3 but I'm sure it might be similar on other devices.

No, they don't. I have mine set to only blink on missed calls/voicemails/texts. I turned off the blinking for emails, Facebook, and everything else.Sure do, and they light up every time something happens.
Nice! I can't wait to switch to CM10 but looks like the VZW version has some issues right now still.Yes. AT&T GS3 on CM10. I know the stock AT&T menu had fewer options for colors etc.
General - Accessibility - Led Flash For Alerts
I bet you are right, but I want to know now.
Someone on another thread mentioned that the spot where the front facing camera is could be an LED notification light. Doubt it because it clearly looks like a lens in the pics. We will find out soon enough.
Sure do, and they light up every time something happens. Emails, Messages, miss called, downloads complete, useless updates you don't get on android phones, etc. Silly and annoying.
This is something I had hoped they would add on the iPhone 5. Obviously its something you can just turn off if you don't want it flashing. The GS3 notification menu allows you to add or remove any apps from notify and you can set a "silent period" during the night/day as needed.

Camera flash ≠ Notification light

I left BB almost a year ago (3GS launch day to be exact) and never looked back. Still can't figure out why I didn't do it sooner. The iPhone is all I could want in a smartphone and then some. It's like having a mini laptop in my pocket. Only thing missing is an LED notification light for new calls, emails, texts, calendar items, etc. That is the only thing I miss from BB. Not that unlocking the iPhone to check for these things is a lot of work, but it was just so convenient to glance at the LED on the BB. Any chances that the next generation iPhone will have this?
I don't understand how people can seriously defend the iPhone's camera flash as being a legitimate notification light. It's not. (The Motorola/Samsung LED notification lights can be any color you want, FYI.)Its a white led did you need a red one ???![]()
It has one on the back. The white led can be set to flash when the phone rings, when you get a text, or other notification. Led indicators are an eyesore on a phone in my opinion, I'm glad the iPhone doesn't have one. Besides how hard is it to turn the phone on / look at the screen and see a red circle with a number in it? The software has notifications built in. It shows on the screen when the home is pressed. Why is that not enough? Go buy a Blackberry if you have to have a led indicator. I doubt the iPhone will ever get one....at I hope it never does.

Wow. A perfect example of why I have never gotten, and will never likely get, Android's UI. Looking at this screenshot, I am completely at a loss as to what it is telling me. I just see the word normal about 50 times and some bars of colors. Every time I pick up an Android phone at Best Buy, I stare at the screen wondering what the hell I'm supposed to do. And when I do tap something, it's almost never what I expected it to be.
