Restart your phone !
i have no problem with colors in 4.3 IN STAMINA MODE !
I have already restarted it many times...I also did the factory reset but nothing happened... still white colour instead of my selected colours during the Stamina mode.

I remember in 4.2.2 release note, SONY committed LED notification issue resolved and LED would also work in Stamina Mode in 4.2.2.
The thing is it's only partially working after my testing. In Stamina Mode of 4.2.2, SONY just gives LED White light ONLY and Fixed frequency ONLY under Stamina, all your customerized light&frequency would not working under Stamina mode.
Example, If you set missed call with Red color & High frequency shining, when your screen is on, then LED goes like that way, once your screen off and the phone falls into Stamina mode, LED would only show White color with a slow&fixed frequency.
I'm not sure whether you encounter the same issue? I'm stock 4.2.2 Hong Kong Rom.
Any one else find a way around this?
Some people say disable backing up the Google account and reset the phone (I can't imagine what that has to do with an LED). Others say turn off stamina mode - this gets my LED working again, but I like to use stamina mode.

Did you try installing the Light Flow app from store?
Thanks, unfortunately Light Flow doesn't work on my phone. I have tried every setting. I chatted to Sony about this and they said that Stamina mode is directed to turn off LEDs but from customer feedback, they will change this in future software updates for phones.

I did try and I use Light Flow indeed, it's not working, SONY forbids 3rd LED control when L36h falls into Stamina Mode, it gives White Light&Fixed Frequency only.
Same here, shows only white LED for notifications but changes to appropriate color when screen is unlocked :-/

I see the exact same thing: tested with Whatsapp, color Green: in stamina mode with whatsapp as exception entered. Upon pressing the power button to light up the screen // go to unlock page, it turns green.
I asked Sony this in their chatroom, they said Stamina mode is responsible and it's designed to do that. They said that given the strong feedback that consumers don't like it, that it would be changed in future updates...that's all I got.
Ok I am just gonna come out and say it...my LED notifications work normally, show all the correct colours and such,,,even with Stamina mode turned on...I haven't touched anything. I'm on 244.
Sometimes, when I plug my phone to charge with stamina on, indicator doesn't turn on until I wake screen up.
I had same issue with whatsapp, but after I put it in Stamina apps list, it receives notifications and LED works (using blue for whatsapp)

Hey guys,
for those who have 4.3 Android,
1) how does your Auto-Brightness work? I know it wasnt working in the previous update but concerning 4.3 it seems that it still does not work.... When I am outside or in a dark room the brightnes is not changing at all
2) LED notifications in the Stamina MODE - when I choose red colour for missed calls, it keeps flashing white!! The same goes for my SMS notif. still keeps flashing white in spite of the fact I set yellow colour.
However, when I click the power button (and the screen waits for the unlock) it starts flashing in my selected color....but the moment I turn off my phone, the colour is changed to white.
LED and auto brightness workink perfectly on CE1
thats weird... I have abolutely no idea why my auto-brightness feature doesnt work... And why my LED notifications are white...
Auto-brightness after running some tests on dark rooms and bright lighted rooms its fixed a lot!
Takes some time to reduce - adjust the brightness but atleast it works
I didn't test led though...
(Using AU FTF File)

What firmware do you have? If I miss a call, the first led light is the color that I choose and after that is white (with STAMINA mode enabled). Without Stamina it's ok.

Problem solved... I just did the factory reset and reinstal the last 4.3 firmware via PC Companion a there is no white colour anymore...
However, the auto-brightness feature still does not work...
I have sacrifice my Lightflow to light up the Xperia logo when there is a notification. I like the Xperia logo light up when having notification, try to add Lightflow into Stamina mode, but still not working.
Lightflow can control the xperia logo ?

I had problems with Lightflow as well. It was installed when I updated and seemed to work ok until I turned on Stamina. Then my flashing green notification that I have to tell me phones on and in signal, stopped and it was flashing a really slow and dim pinkish colour even though there was nothing set to that. Soon after that though I was hit by charging bug so I repaired software and factory reset only to still be hit by the charging bug.
I'm waiting for the UK unbranded software to come out now so I can install that and reinstall apps and do a proper test. I refuse to play about much when i'm going to have to reflash my correct software in the next few days (weeks... months... whatever). Sony need to pull their finger out with this one now. It's beyond understanding why they would do half a roll out on a Friday afternoon then not continue it first thing on Monday.
My LED only flashes white when the phone is locked. I have my Whatsapp LED set to red for incoming messages, yet it only blinks White when my phone is locked and I receive a msg. when it's unlocked, it blinks Red as it should.
Is this normal behavior ? it's the first time i see it...
My WhatsApp is set to green and the phones flashed green whille locked...

As far as i know, it's normal behaviour due to STAMINA MODE. Try it, without STAMINA MODE and it should blink with the color you set in Whatsapp.

Thank you. Deactivating stamina mode took care of it. My battery life wil decrease though, there's no way for it to work with stamina mode enabled?

For now there seems to be no other solution. Even trying to use third party apps to control LED Light&Colors (available at the play store) seem to fail, to withstand the STAMINA MODE, putting them on the whitelist won't help neither
You can use Greenify instead of STAMINA MODE. If you are rooted it will work automatically otherwise manually.

What is it with Sony and the LED?! hahaha seems like they think it consumes lots of power, it's just a tiny led! on the Xperia Z it didn't flash at all when Stamina was activated.
I got my R1 HD recently. After I set up everything I noticed that when the screen is off, no matter whether I received an email, a sms or a missed call, the LED light just didn't flash. The phone did notify by sound and I can see items in status bar when I turn on the screen.
I looked at everything in the Settings, but couldn't find anything wrong. I called R1 representative and he said he never heard such issue before.
Then I ordered a replacement from Amazon and it arrived today. You know what, same thing happened! No LED light for notification. Just sound notification.
The only time I know there is an LED light is when I charge the phone (red) or when it's fully charged (green).
Has anyone seen such issue before? I greatly appreciate the help!
The LED can really only display red and green as when they are both on the red greatly overpowers the green so the color combination is not detectable. Lightflow can control which apps have access to the LED and which color to display. The LEDs are either on or off - no brightness levels. I have also not been able to get the LED to blink on notifications and suspect that this is also a hardware limitation of the phone. I've been quite disappointed in the LED notification capabilities. There are a couple of other threads about the notification light in the Blu forums here if you search
Thanks for the reply! I did try Lightflow, but it didn't help. In test mode or real mode, what I got was just a status bar notification, no LED.

I did have to change some settings for it to work with the Blu phone.
These are the settings I am using that allow apps to turn on the LED:
Under General settings, the following are checked:
Enable Light Flow
Show LED in priority mode
Device Admin
Enable Clear all
Accessibility check
Version upgrade reminder
Under Device settings and root, the following are checked:
Direct mode
Root mode
Run every command as root
Show LED with screen on
Nexus 5 force LED reset
I also have light flow enabled under settings->accessability and lightflow has root permission in supersu.
Oh so I have to root the phone? I just called Blu customer service, and they told me I need to do a factory reset..
Try it and let us know what happens, please. Some phones require root and others don't. I reflashed and rooted and xposed mine before I did anything else so I don't know if it works without root or not.
Solved! Did a hard reset (not factory data reset thru Settings) by pressing power button and volume up together to enter the recovery menu. I cannot believe Amazon/Blu missed such an important step that the customer has to do it by themselves..
Same here bit in a Blu vivo 5R in this case.
So... I need to execute a Factory Reset? And then appears the option for LED notification And works.
Hi ! I did buy a BLU VIVO XL2. No LED activity for notifications. I have the options for LED behavior (Settings/Advanced Settings/Under Hardware title, LED indicator, Notification Reminder ON but green LED never flashes when expected. Factory Reset tried: I used Volume Up & Power Button to get recovery menu. There, I took a backup (SD storage, no compression, several chunks of data). After that, I selected Factory Reset. When rebooted, Google did his automatic restore of phone. After that, I tried Restore from Recovery menu, but a msg informed backup was corrupted, so, I did get a full Factory Reset status, with my phone memory user data lost. NO LED Notifications working after all these actions !!!!! . LED is alive, when reporting Power status, so it is not HW damaged. I will keep fighting to get my LED notification activity working... Regards, Norberto !!!
Try the free version of LightFlow from the play store. It will allow you to test and turn individual notifications on or off. The light can on display red and green colors and the red is very much brighter than the green. Mine turns flashing red when I miss a phone call on the Blu R1 HD>
Hi !! Thnx yaconsult. I did try free & legacy, unsuccessfully. Have a good day !!
I guess the Vivo works differently, then. The notification light works ok on my R1. If I miss a call, I get a blinking red light.
