So I got my Note 4 yesterday...yay me.
I ran the upgrade.
It is not rooted yet so completely stock.
On my Note 3 i was using blocking mode to kill the led indicator from flashing all night from emails.
I set up blocking mode last night and it does not seem to work.
My phone continued to flash with the blue indicator and when I cleared the email then the LED came on to show charging.
My Note 3 never did that....has anyone else tested blocking mode to see if I am just special or what?
Thanks

I went into a store today and was told it was changed so that the led notifications come through. If that is the case....that sucks....lol....
I thougt I was the only one having this problem.

No pretty sure it is all of us....
Has anyone been able to get blocking mode working while in ultra power saving mode? Whenever I enable Upsm while blocking mode is on it no longer blocks the notifications.

Hey,
did anyone manage to properly control the LED with an app? It's really bright and shiny when e.g. charging the phone but when i use it with apps i barely see it since most dont allow to further control the led notification, its mainly really high intervalls between the short blinks.
i installed light flow but i dont get it to work, it just doesnt do anything. i tried root mode and all, no success.

You need to ensure you turn it on in accessibility settings menu, see my pic. I can confirm it works well as I'm using that app.

Thanks for your reply but of course i turned it on in accessibility menu, i also tried all the options. i have no idea why it is not working. Do you use stamina mode? its also sometimes not blinking even with lightflow turned off..

Oh right, hmm, did you try to test the notifications in light flow, in settings it says test all LEDs what does that do? Other than a factory wipe I'm not sure.

It does nothing. Just stating that it starts in 5 seconds and nothing happens. No matter if the screen is turned on or off.

I'm using an app called Light Manager now, everything works fine. You can also control the intensity of the LED with it.

Does the LED have multiple colors? Is it fixed to a certain few, e.g. just red, green, orange?

When the XZ first came out it did stop the LED from working, then Sony fixed it.with an update, so the Z1 might be the same.

I have the very same problem here on my Z1.
It's rooted with VRoot, firmware updated this morning to 14.1.G.1.534, but still I can't manage to work led notification through any software found on Play Store (Ligh Flow and Light Manager included).
Led does work when battery is low (red) or charged (green) or charging (orange) with stock settings, but nothing more.
Any other led test brings no effect, no light and no color at all.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

I have XZ1 and my phone works a breeze without any issues now. Only issue i had from new was the vibrator stopped working for a day or 2 from initial re-flash cause i played with the build.prop and crashed it into a bootloop.
Re-flash might be the way to go, but if it still carries on without the light working, i'd return it faulty...
BTW are you giving it eonugh time to flast the 'Blue" light for incoming notifications?
Mine usually takes about 20secs to kick in, but it does work

Led system notifications work fine, I just can't manage to set any custom notification so it would be difficult to return it as faulty (since it's not a stock function I'm complaining of).
I flashed the old version and the new, once with Flashtool and once by Sony PC companion and the result is: only when it's brand flashed, just before configuring and downloading any other app, the first time I run the led TEST on Ligh manager IT WORKS. Any other test (even run just a couple of second after and without changing anything else) fails.
I assume there's something wrong, maybe some kind of conflict but I really don't know what this could be.
For now I decided to wait for the new firmware (which is on its way) to see if maybe there is some issue that has been solved in the meantime.
Thanks

Hi Ricochet23. Mine is the same as yours. I've tried ALL apps and all configuration (with, without STAMINA; Accessibility, etc) and not even a Blink. When Charging, full charged I have all notification without a problem. Did you try to Factory Reset? It worked? I didn't tried because in my phone I can't have ROOT and can't do a proper backup of my applications. Mine is Xperia Z1 C6943 14.1.G.2.257 (still no way to ROOT it and I can't downgrade cause I can't find a Stock C6943 1.534 FTF).
If it worked please notify me so I can try to have some time to do all backups possible without root and reset it.
I had the same issues, could not get it to work, however, there's a setting under Settings -> Display -> Pulse Notification Light that I enabled, and after that it works like a charm, perhaps this could solve it?

I have lightflow installed since my Xperia Z and now on my Xperia Z1, you have so much control of settings flashing, vibration patterns,and tones. I would say this one of the best apps I have used for notifications. I have the paid version which has more options than the free version.
agreed the led is not as easy to see.
I tried Light Flow but it doesn't work even when I set it up as direct. Does anyone have any luck with any other apps for LED control?

I forgot to enable it in Accessibility. That did the trick for the most part. It won't overwrite the system LEDs when the screen is on and not locked. So for something like receiving a call it will never work and for something like on the charger it will switch back and forth between the system color and light flow color. Nevertheless, thank you very much.
If your phone is rooted you could try XLED it dose what your looking for

I haven't rooted yet given the issues with unlocking the bootloader at the moment. I'm sitting tight waiting for better ways to root as the phone becomes more available worldwide. Light flow does the trick for now but I'll be sure to check out XLED when I finally get root. Thanks though.
I purchased Light Flow mainly for a light for missed calls. Others may use it for more. I do have it working properly as should but only way I got it work under Device Root Setting enable Direct Mode.
Did anyone on N6 get it work without Direct Mode? What I want is the led to flash but all it will do stay solid in color.
Sent from mobile...excuse typos!
I don't think anyone has gotten it to blink yet, it will stay solid. I have heard if you receive multiple notifications, it will flash.
I can confirm. It's only blinking when you have multiple notifications each with a different color.
I have issues with this app. Also with all root settings enabled led doesn't work properly. Sometimes it doesn't turn on and sometimes it doesn't turn off (in this case I must open the app to turn it off). I hope Dev will update this app soon.

Any battery drain with the light being on say for 30 min.

I had some issues with Light Flow too. The LED sometimes didn't work. Now i have found a "hidden" setting in the menu. In Accessibility (you have to scroll down) is an option "Light Flow". You have to turn this to on. Now my LED works as it should.
How can i get this to work with the basic standard messenger?
I have sms selected but so far no go. Everything else had worked so far
Didn't know the nexus 6 had working led light.
I didn't get the LED to work for incoming SMS neither. Maybe someone here has an idea how to fix this.

Could it be possible that one of your apps is causing your WiFi to not work properly? Such as.. battery saving apps.

Thats very weird that Light Flow affected your WiFi. I personally had used Light Flow and had no problems. I stopped using it because of the constant superuser requests.
Glad to hear it was resolved

I've seen that it is possible to use the physical LED on the device for notifications if your device is rooted, but I have not had any success in getting it set up properly.
The closest I have gotten was an app called Moto LED Enabler, which worked at turning the led on when I got a notification, but it wouldn't turn back OFF when I cleared the notification.
I'm wondering if anyone has gotten this working perfectly and what app are you using?

Camera flash is WAY too bright, in my opinion. It's the kind of thing that pretty much would force me to interact with the phone just to turn it off. While with the smaller led, I can just see that its on, but I don't have to do anything about it if I don't want to.
Moto LED enabler works fine for me... Are you rooted via magisk??
The app constantly asks for Superuser rights to turn the led on and off.. So, check if your SU app is having issues maybe..

I'm trying it again, but behavior is same as before. Once it comes on, the only way I can make it turn off is by playing with the brightness control in the Moto Led Enabler app. I granted full access when it asked for root, doesn't seem to be any issue there. And its just doing weird stuff, like it suddenly turned on when I ended a phone call, despite no notification even popping up.

It kinda works for a little time, and then it crashes. Constantly there's a message popping up saying that moto led enabler has stopepd working. What exactly do you do to make it work?
---edit---
To stop it from crashing every five minutes all I had to do was open the app and fiddle witht the brightness slider and voilá, working like a charm.
