Notifications - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since the Z won't have a notification LED (or have I missed anything here) and no touchable buttons will there be any way of knowing whether a notification is there without waking the device? For example making the screen light every minute or something?

It has a notifcation LED on the front.

AW: Notifications
Do you have source for that? Because I just find evidence for the ZL having a notification LED

@diemadedrei

Perhaps that feature is way too common on all android phones to be mentioned anymore.

Nope padfone 2 dont have it

Well probably only that still it is a very2x common feature.

Are you sure this is a notification led? I've an xperia s and that led only turn on when charger is plugged-in and it switch from red (in charge) to green (full charge). So I think this is not a notification led but I hope it is because it's very important for me

I don't have Xperia S I only had up to Xperia Pro which is a 2011 device. But even if it only lights up on charging that's still called a notification led because it notifies you of your charging status. Although I can't confirm if it works also on messages, calls, emails etc. Your best bet is asking someone who has access to the device already.
And yeah... I'm not sure about this but I think I remember sometime in the past that there was a notification light issue on the ICS update of some Xperia devices. Perhaps you're encountering that issue now.
Edit:
Here's a link of the said bug.

yes it is a multicoloured notification LED (red /green/blue/orange/white seen so far )

Now.. the question in.. goes LightFlow or similar aps for LED notification work well?
And also.. I've read it's not multicolored.. I can leave with that. OneX was like that.

It is multicoloured - you could see at least two colours on various Xperia Z videos on youtube.

The One X has 2 colours also, but is not RGB... anyway I've read elsewhere that it is RBG, so I'm happy.

Xperia S and T both had multicoloured LEDs, why on earth would Sony take a step back and not give the Z the same?

Diamond LED

I just bought a Diamond today and i noticed that the LED (placed by the speaker) doesn't do anything. It doesn't light when the phone is charging nor when the bluetooth is activated - is this a fault in the phone?
JESUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
How many people are gonna ask this question?
Why do people buy phones and not even know how to use them properly!!!
It`s not an LED it`s a light sensor...

"placed by the speaker" <--Look towards the LEFT of the speaker, there is a little 'squarish' part there that is the light-sensor which detects ambiance to dim the LCD's brightness up/down according to the surrounding lighting.
where does it say, LEFT? it could be RIGHT?
the little camera is placed BY the speaker? now i placed a screenshot. thats all
@neonlite: Obviously one would think that the words "placed by" would indicate 'close to' or 'right next to'.. the front facing VGA camera is farther away from the speaker than the light sensor.
And which one looks more like an LED light? I think the OP is smart enough to make out that what you were referring to is a camera.
lies!

Nexus 7 Line Screen Bug is Software

Hi,
Many of us said the screen was somehow defect because of the while line bug on white pages/images. Well I succeed to take a picture while it appeared and it is software because as you can see, we can still see it in the red rectangle. It happened while I was checking my delevery status so yeah I have censured few things just in case.

You must be very lucky to capture that. The duration is just a blink of eye. Hardly noticeable.

Only just started getting this type if artifact & this is the first thread I have seen mention of it. I only get it on one website and only when using dolphin beta. I assume is a diver issue but could also have something to do with frames/tables on the pages.
Sent from my Nexus 7
I get one but it is horizontal and looks kind of jagged. It looks like what you get when a CRT television powers off. It used to be extremely frequent in the realm of multiple times a minute but a kernel change fixed it. I stopped following the forums for a while so I don't know if it has been fully addressed yet. Regardless, it would be nice to know if someone has fixed it completely. It happens throughout the system, no rhyme or reason, it has occurred on the home screen, in settings, app drawer or browser.

I have flashed the custom kernel for almost 1 month and never find the line again.

I have an idea that we can using the "Xperia" LED on the TX as notification LED. Is it possible? It will be great if we can do it.

I think it is possible to make it blink!

Well i don't have an xperia t..i use ion(cm10)...but i guess you can give this a try,
install illumination bar notification from playstore..set device as xperia s/p
and then install the attached apk
and restart
since this does not use sony libs i guess it myt work in the jb build as well.
No harm in testing it. :fingers-crossed:

However u must not have any effect and reflect and ... on screen with high density of pixel.
It is completely normal, it's part of the touchscreen digitizer. It's visible on almost all phones under strong light. I could see it on my S, Arc (S) and Neo too.

Have you got the optimised backlight option on in your display settings? I've noticed this makes the screen slightly yellow, try turning this off.

There is no white balance setting for z1 as of yet but try an app called Screen Adjuster from the Play Store. It is free and lets you set the colors of the screen to your liking. If you increase blue color to +5 the yellow hue will be gone.

Strange Display issue
Hi Guys,
Needed your expert advice or information on what is going on with my screen. From past 4 days, i have noticed a bluish green vertical line starting at about 1 cm from left side of screen starting from top and ending approximately 3/4 to bottom end. Surprising is that, this bluish green vertical line is not seen on the screenshots when viewed in laptop. So i captured the images using a camera. Attached both screenshots and captured images.
The phone was running on 14.1.G.1.XXX firmware when noticed. I Upgraded the firmware to 14.1.G.2.XXX but still have the same problem. Serial number starts with BH904xxxx.
