On my Xperia Z the notifications LED doesn't turn on. It only appears in orange while charging, but not with notifications and neither with using LightFlow...
Anyone has detected this problem? Any solution?
It's a bug, Sony are aware of it and should be fixed soon. A full factory reset can fix the problem.

Some phones LEDs dont work with stamima mode on or off like mine! Had to do the factory set twice to get it fixed.

Same here.
I don't know why people keep talking about the Stamina mode, it's know that the LED doesn't work for many people, with and without Stamina mode.
And like I said, I also had to do a factory reset TWICE until it worked for me.
But I would also suggest when setting up the phone for the first time, not to sync, but to install everything manually, like wifi and installing apps.
After that is done you can sync, should work after all that.

You saying that the notification light is working for you 'in Stamina Mode' ? - It only works for me when SM is off.
I reset my Xperia Z once and the LED works perfectly...

I don't think that's what he is saying. People ASSUME that when people complain about LED not working, they automatically think that the person complaining is using stamina mode. We all know that when in stamina mode the LEDs are switched off to save battery. But some handsets have a problem where LEDs are not working even when stamina mode is switched off. To fix that we had to do factory reset and still some peoples handsets are still not working.
I also found that my LED does not work for notifications, first thing Sony said was to disable Stamina Mode, well unfortunately that was already disabled, so what else could it be?
I guess it is a bug, because factory resetting twice my phone the LED still did not work, sadly.

Turn off stamina mode and restart your phone.I got mine working this way without any factory reset .
I have one query for notification LED.
MY notification LED works for SMS, EMAIL.
but I am using "talk" application to google chat, on your phone does it shows notification for newly received reply.
Mine it's not showing any notification. Wanted to confirm before I do factory reset, since phone is fully configured.

Don't know if it's gonna make any difference but...have you connected the phone to the pc to check for updates?
The French version did not come with the last version, 350 I think.
just done a full phone reset and made no difference.
the phone says no other update is available, if I connect phone to PC I guess the same will be said

Hello,
I got my Xperia this monday, it came from Germany. With the notification led it happened just the same until I did a factory reset and then the led started working perfectly.
Hope this helps.
The LED works for me when getting whatsapp messages. I have not yet noticed if it lid up when I got an SMS/email. Will report back when I have more info.
I'm on that latest update which ends with .350
I am on 350 as well
Are you using STAMINA?
Led wont work with it on.
STAMINA mode is off

Really? Doesn't make sense!
At least for phone calls and sms it should notify you...
Got the same thing here, also did a reset and I'm not in stamina.
Must be a setting or something that we're "missing".
Done a full phone reset 3 times and still no fix
I am gonna just throw this out here, cause I dont actually have the phone, but are light notifications activated within the apps of themselves by default?
in messaging in you go into setting there is options to tick or un tick LED notification but in my case it is ticked.
tried unticking reboot and then reticking and reboot but made no difference
I should be one of the bugs Docomo has fixed today on their version - notification led not notifying during sleep, there's no Extended Stamina Mode
I guess Sony will do the same for operator-free firmware really soon.
hopefully its very soon, its very annoying not knowing if a sms or a missed call has happened
I had the same problem, but 'fixed' it by installing Lightflow...
Hope they will bring update soon.
My led is not working either, is there a option in settings to enable it that I haven't come across?

Factory reset will fix everything.

so strange, I installed light flow and still nothing no notification nothing.
I cant be a broken LED because it lights up when charging the battery
Hi everyone
Re-posting this from the general section (posted on there by mistake, was still half asleep lol, sorry)
Just got the xperia z yesterday (after my previous lg 4x was stolen... grrr... may the thief get permanent bursting hemorroids...) and I noticed a weird thing.
The mute/vibrate/sound toggle in the notification bar does not seem to work, and the same goes for the one in the popup shown by pressing the power button for a couple seconds.
Details: the mute or vibrate icon appears on the notification bar, but if I check the volumes in settings, they're still all on, and if I receive a call or get a notification or whatever, the phone actually rings despite the supposedly muted state.
All this doesn't happen if I "manually" turn the volume off with the volume buttons or via settings: in that case the vibrate icon appears and the phone actually does not ring.
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
All good here dude. Hope you get it fixed. Have you tried turning phone off and on again? That usualy fixes small.glitches.

Yep, already tried that of course, as well as uninstalling the one widget I have that interacts with volumes, just to be sure it was not some weird conflict (and of course it wasn't)
Not a biggie actually, as I can turn it down manually or by said widget, but I hope I'll figure it out anyway if only for the sake of understanding the source of the issue
Yep I understand that. Annoys me when I cant get something working lile its ment to.

I have a problem with the toggle in the notification bar and the power off menu. System settings show me notifications and ringtones are off, but the phone still has audible, unmuted notification sounds. Really annoying.

Actually, I could try a factory reset just to be sure, but I admit I'm kind of too lazy to set my stuff up again from scratch only to try and fix that small glitch

Heard about it, but haven't read the whole thing yet (yep, still being lazy)
Jokes apart, I was planning to leave it 100% stock for at least a little while to see how the battery behaves without even the slightest piece of modding (got the phone only last friday, today has been the first real "field test" for the battery and so far I'm pretty positively impressed)
Well I have already removes/frozen a bucketload of apps happy bunny, I am. Now I only need to figure out which app does what so I don't kill something and make my phone less usable.

lol I removed a few apps too, but luckily for me they were uninstallable without root or anything.
I also disabled a few more through the stock apps management, for the time being it's sufficient for my taste
Same irritating automatic toggling action going on

Yes, having the same problem as well with mine. But it has been the same problem since I had ICS on my Xperia Arc S, then Xperia V and now this when I use the toggle in the notification bar or any other toggle aside from toggling it manually via setting. Very irritating since it has never and probably will never be fixed due to the fact that it's a cross-model issue. Chances are, those who say they don't have this problem already has it but don't know it yet or will get it eventually. Sony needs to iron this out once and for all
I got a notification earlier saying something about MyXperia stopping STAMINA mode, but not all of the text was visible. But when I clicked on it to find out what it was going on about, it just opened MyXperia settings. I don't know if it is affecting stamina mode, and moreover I think it is, because I'm getting WIFI push notifications that I wouldn't if my wifi was off when my screen is off.

Are you sure that was all that was said? Maybe it was something alongside those lines: "[app_name] is preventing STAMINA mode from saving power in standby."? Some apps need constant wifi connection to pull data so that you are always up to date which kinda kills the purpose of stamina but stamina should overrule them. I suggest you use Greenify, it goes well with stamina.
If the "error" you got is same as i quoted, I also encountered it. After that i forced stopped the app at fault, waited - didnt get the error. After a reset i also didnt get the error. I just assumed that was a one time thing.
Does the thing you describe happen often or did you see it once?

Yeah it was exactly as you described,
Yeah I also Force Stopped my xperia, and turned it off too, and it seems to be fine now. I wouldn't mind being able to turn it back on but with Android Device Manager doing the same thing, I'm a little more okay with it.

"Yeah I also Force Stopped my xperia"
What do you mean? Im afraid I dont follow. To force stop means to kill an app thus i dont understand what did you kill exactly? Do you mean you reset your phone or...?
Anyway, I hope you got your problem solved. If not, be more, much more specific next time. The devil is in the details, so if you are asking for help provide as many as you can, it help people to help you.
Hey there.
I have an issue with stamina mode. Now, before, I know it worked by "disabling" any traffic from data or wifi while screen is off, by delaying them until screen gets turned on (right?). This kinda worked and adding apps to the exception list also worked. But now, its like even without any apps on exception list, I get all notifications right away. Ive even made testing with myself from other phones etc.
Ive tried clearing the data and cache off eco mode controller but to no different result. Have I accidentally changed something, somewhere else in my ROM?
Hoping for some suggestions and pleeeease no "do a factory reset", that's simply not giving actual help.
what rom you using?
have you tried turning stamina mode off and on again?

Yes.
I have encountered a really annoying problem. From the moment you have used the Maximum Power Saving mode, it will mess up your push notifications such as mail and WhatsApp.. even if you're back in normal battery mode.. restarting phone doesn't fix it.
The way it messes it up is that push notification don't come true realtime, but rather only when you wake the phone manually..
I'm searching for a fix and will update here. Just don't use the Maximum Power Saving mode.. and if you know more please leave a comment..
Hard Resetting the phone didn't help.. I think there must be something else wrong..

Seems like it, but I doubt it is hardware.. it worked perfect couple days ago, until I had to use Maximum Power Save mode.. from then on... But that a hard reset doesnt fix it.. :s.. Anyone else experiencing delayed notifications with WhatsApp?

Search the web and you will clearly see that a lot of phones had/have problems with delayed whatsapp notifications. It has nothing to do with maximum power save mode.
I've been in and out of this mode and experienced no change in notifications from any app. I'm betting you are mistaken in your assumption.
I have the same issue
Maybe it doesn't affect all phones but after maximum power saving mode I get zero push notifications

Restarting phone helps I think.
possible solution
probably this is a solution, but it is painful
Go to Apps, "reset app preferences"
After that, go to one by one of your apps and setting the "Permissions" again
kindly allow for storage, telephone and contact or you allow all permission.
however need to do it one by one
