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)

I currently have a stock HTC One in Canada on the Telus network.
The last few weeks i noticed the LED light growing dim. About a week ago the phone rebooted itself only to say it had an issue and that it was not shutdown correctly.. and asked if i wanted to report the problem to HTC.
The phone the froze with the Screen on but a black background.
After 15 minutes i powered off the phone.
At this point the phone would not power back on.. when i plugged the power in to the phone from the wall the phone would not indicate that it was charging via LED.
I tried booting no response.. no vibrating,.. just slight flashing lights on the Home/back buttons
I ended up booting up the phone by shining a bright light into the light sensor while holding Power and DOWN volume..
Phone has been working fine ever since, however still no LED.
I did a factory reset and still no LED.
Has anyone see anything like this?
I want to root and install Google Edition Android however if the hardware is faulty i dont want to risk voiding the warranty and being stuck with a faulty phone.

This has happened to me too. Just one day noticed no led light anymore. Strange thing to break down on a phone! Have you had any joy in getting a fix?

Unfortunately I have not been successful getting the LED back.. I am debating sending the phone in for Warranty work... or just sucking it up and rooting/flashing custom roms.
My main concern is that there may be a bigger hardware issue going on internally.
I'm really just trying to get a feel of how common this issue is..

Try this: in dialer type *#*#3424#*#* (3424 = DIAG), that will bring up HTC internal diagnostic, there's a "LED Test", select and run it to see if it's a hardware defect or not (you will get Orange and Green LED tests).

Thanks for the info.. Just tried it the LED test .
To my surprise the Green and Orange lights actually show up but I have to hold it to my eye and block out any external light to see anything.. kind of defeats the purpose of an LED notification light..
I guess the light works its just extremely DIM.
Any way of controlling the LED light brightness?

Don't know, but I just ran the same test in a very well lit environment and the Green and Orange LED are quite bright... I don't have to "go look for them" they pop out nicely.
Are you using a cover of any kind? Or maybe the LED has somehow shifted it's position and is being partially covered by the speaker grill? Hate to say it, but sounds like a hardware issue. Sorry
Hope someone else has other ideas.

Not using any case that would cover the LED.. that being said even with the Case off.. the LED is still very dim.

I have the same problem. Did factory reset two times. Red when charging, green when full but no flashing green for notification. I enabled it in settings.
Have you manage to find a solution for the problem?

I also have the same problem: when it is charging and when it is fully charged the light works OK but doesn't flash for notifications. But it worked OK some time ago. Actually, when I think about it, it seems that the problem started after I had updated to the current firmware: Android version 4.3, HTC Sense version 5.5, software number 3.62.401.1
It must be issue with firmware/software because LED test works fine.
There's another thread similar to this one and someone there figured out the solution - you do a factory reset but, when the phone reboots, you do not restore everything using your Google account. Go through the setup as normal (without restoring) and once that is complete then you can add your Google account details.
It means you have to download and set up your apps again, but it is worth it to get the LED working.
HI I had a similar problem I cleaned out the hole with a needle and all is well, pin came out dirty (the one on the grill dirt was blocking led )
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.

try this method !
turn off Stamina!
change colors to defaults white , white ....
restart your phone
then power on Stamina and change colors!
and no reboot ! report back!
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...
Anybody tried light flow yet?
Works like a sharm! No root necessary. The new notification light is much better then the speaker built in thing from the z1c.
Tested "Light Manager" and that works, too.
Can't seem to change the charging led though
Yup, I have the paid for version of Light Flow setup and working perfectly!

I've been able to sort of fix this using Light Manager. I select a really dark color (almost black) for both charging and fully charged set it to be always on (no blinking).
It's kinda finicky, though, and sometimes it takes a few moments until it LM takes over from the built in notification light. For me, Light Manager works better than Light Flow. YMMV, it's possible to do this with both of them.

Just wanted to say that I have done this with Light Flow and it works great. It still shows the default charging colours when the screen is on, but when it's off it uses the ones in light flow. The trick is to use anything but totally black. I set it with the HEX code to FF000001 and it works.
That is on a full-size Z3 but I can't imagine the hardware is different regarding LEDs.
I use light manager and it does work with a dark colour to set the charging/charged led colour. (dark blue)
BUT
When I use sleep mode (so I get to notification lights) the charging/charged trick doesn't work ....
So I have to dissable sleep mode
anyone has a solution for this?
Lightflow doesn't seem to work for me neither.
Is there any other option without rooting the device (no option, as it's for the device of my girlfriend)
Works perfectly for me. Keep trying. Make sure it's enabled in settings security notification access.

I also tried to update via verizon software tool its showing me also my device is up to date.
I updated mine to G925VVRS4CPL3, and the auto brightness and soft-key lights do not work.
I'm using LUX to control the "auto brightness" until there's a newer update.
The soft-key lights are still working. During the Verison Wireless red screen on power up or restart, the soft-key lights are on then fade away when the lock screen displays. Once the lock screen appears, the soft-key lights stop working.
Anyone know where to find the official G925VVRU4CPK2? I'd like to flash the firmware back to that version.
Thank you

Thank you for confirming.
I have called Verizon tech support and they routed me to Samsung tech support. They suggested I go see a Samsung tech support guy at Best Buy to re-flash the firmware. My phone was re-flashed to G925VVRU4CPK2 (the one before CPL3). The symptoms still show. I updated to CPL3 and the symptoms still persist.
Its strange that the Lux app can control the auto brightness. When I cover/uncover the sensor the screen dims/brightens. Without the app, the phone just stays 100% bright with auto-brightness checked.
And the soft-key lights up during power up, but are somehow disabled afterwards.
