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..

Ah I just remembered when I had a XZ using stamina mode stops the LED from working.

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.

Hmm then it might have to be a factory reset, I had to do that with my XZ when I had it.

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 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.

Hello,
Just wondering if this is a known issue or if it is just me. But I am having problems with my backlight on my phone even though I do not have it on auto brightness the phone sometimes dims out and then the light will come back to full brightness sometimes but not all the time? is anybody else having these issues or know if this is a known issue?
There are some reports of a possible bug with auto brightness off.
I notice it dims when the screen is set to adaptive, but doesn't on basic.

Yes that's the exact bug I'm having... i dont like basic though looks crappy lol... hopefully they fix this soon
I guess my question is, is it a bug, or is that the design of the adaptive setting doing what it's supposed to, even with auto brightness off.

Anyone having any specific issues with the most recent update?
Well my wife has been using it the past couple days and got the update at work yesterday... Today she mentioned the Home button notification light doesn't seem to be working. (it was when I first started using the phone) I'm not sure if they are tied, or if she messed with a setting. If anyone else who got the update would like to test the notif LED on the Home button that would be cool.
hardware buttons issue
The notification light for me is fine but my hardware buttons are testy. sometimes I have to double press the buttons for it to respond. Other times the entire phone freezes for a minute or the buttons don't work at all. I think it was a bad update.
Some days later the phone stopped getting text messages until I restart it. Now it gets them hours later. I already cleaned out the cache. But did not fix it. This update is killing my phone.....

No noticeable issues here yet.
No issues noted by me. It fixed some Bluetooth volume issues I was having so that's good.
The led notifications light on mine sometimes freezes on.
