[Q] Power Off LED Color - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
My Sony Xperia SP died the last month and today I'm going to change the motherboard.
My question come when the seller say that the LED is in red(solid, without blink) when it is conected to the power.
And my question is: Is that the motherboard is OK or have any problems? I know that the blinking red LED is some fail, but solid without blink I dont know(I think its OK), but here I think you people know my answer.
Thanks a lot!

G1 Notification LED

I recently gave my phone to someone to replace the digitizer as there was a crack. Now the LED is stuck on the blue light. Whenever I turn on the phone it remains there. Is this a problem with the LCD screen or is it a problem with my firmware is what the person told me was the problem?

It's not the firmware. something went wrong while replacing that digitizer. Firmware shouldn't be getting any problems from a replaced part that doesn't concern memory
Also, it's probably a problem with the trackball, holding the trackball while booting makes the led turn blue

I heard that when that happens the phone does not turn on at all, but is working fine.

[Q] HTC One (m7) Green LED not working

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.

Shouldn't affect it. I've been using ARHD 9 through 13.3 and works with all of them.

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?
Thanks.

I am having the same issue! The light works, but it doesn't blink for notifications!!

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 )

[Q] notification LED blink randomly!

I just received a refurbished unit from vodafone since they couldnt repair my original htc one with pink camera issues...
i received the phone and i immediately updated the phone to kitkat which was made available whilst i had my phone in repair!
anyway whenever i turn the screen on the green LED notification light blinks really fast for a few seconds. it will then come back and blink very fast after a while
also i cant remember but does it normally blink in a phone call?
im not sure if this is a software problem or a problem with the refurbished unit.
i have factory reset twice
sorry for all the questions
thanks

Phone wont boot after screen replacement, please help!

Hi! I was wondering if any of you guys out there could help me by answering a few questions.
I tried to change the screen on my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, but it wont boot up properly. Heres the story:
I followed a step-by-step video that I found on the youtube, which has been proven to work on a former mobile that I fixed.
In short; I got off the old screen and got the new one on. But the problem occurs when I turn it on. It just comes a faint background light from the screen, it does not boot up completely to the sony logo, but you can see that it is on. When I plug it into the charger the LED shines red, before it then turns orange after a few seconds. This is everything that happens, and I can not understand what could be wrong.
Is it something wrong with the screen? Would it work with another screen? Or is the whole phone dead now?
I just hope that one of you out there have the answer, please help me if you do, I would be so happy!
Hoping for replies

Replaced display and now get LED status blue blinking, sometimes solid yellow etc.

Hey there hobbyists and experts.
Recently I wanted to play around with my old phone. The Sony Xperia Z1 C6903. Rooted it, flashed a custom ROM on it, and so on. I noticed a spot on the display that didn't register my touch inputs so I decided to replace the display, digitizer and the frame. After reassembling it, and plugging it into the powersource, it didn't explode :good:.
But it didn't display anything on the screen. I only noticed the status LED.
- Sometimes it flashed blue. (Not Fastboot)
- After leaving if plugged in for a while, it turned solid yellow.
- When I tried to turn it on again, the LED flashed red and then afterwards purple.
Does anyone of you have an idea on what the problem might be? Or any clue on the LED signals?
Should I disassemble again, and check every wire?
Thanks in advance.
