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.

Hi,
I have one problem with Stamina mode in. 307 with root with [NUT] method.

Reboot phone?
Maybe when the screen is off, it takes a tiny while for wifi/mobile data to turn off, in that time Facebook notifications can come in.
Stamina works, but not instantly. In my case it takes around 5mins for it to turn wifi off.
I recommend to wipe data of eco controller and reboot afterwards.
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!
The title explains my problem but here're the details. Whenever I turn off the screen there's no problem, power butto works but when I try to turn on the screen it doesn't work -sometimes- and sometimes it works. When it doesn't work I just use my USB cable and connect to computer so screen turns on. I realised it caused by stamina mode as when I charge the phone it always works flawlesly (cause charging turns off stamina mode). I contacted with Sony and they told me to use PC Companion and make a reset SUPRISE! I didn't do it, yet. And I couldn't find stamina mode app in Settings>Apps>All is there a different name? Maybe deleting cache and data helps..Any suggestions?
Make sure the proximity sensor isn't covered with anything.
When stamina mode is on, it prevents the phone waking up when the proximity sensor is activated.

lol man, I had no idea this was caused by stamina. It's kind of an annoying behavior, I wish it could be disabled.
Regarding the screen not turn off issue. I've always had stamina on. But also had the occasional screen-wont-turn-on issue. Mainly with a custom kernel, though, XzKernel mainly. I don't assume OP has a custom kernel but maybe all my "screen-wont-turn-on" issues have been stamina related?!

Proximity sensor? Seriously? I didn't know that. However, for a couple of times I can assume that it was caused by that but I don't cover the sensor all the time, so I don't think it's the reason.

It was just luck, I discoverd while I was charging it. Now I turned of Stamina which SUCKS it really help to keep battery more :crying: I use original ROM and after 4.3 update I didn't even root it, so it's prefectly pure..I've no idea how can I solve this without resetting the phone via PC Comp.
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.

restart your phone
then power on Stamina and change colors!

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.
