Notification light and microSD problems

[Wumbo7]

Hey everybody,

I have bought this Xperia L two days ago and I am really enjoying this nice phone. I have encountered two big problems though.

First the notification light. I had a problem at first that it didn't work for notifications(the lights for charging, themes, walkman, album all worked properly). After googling I found out that the problem was in the stamina mode, turning that off fixed it for me. But after a day of use I discovered that I only got white-ish notification lights for every app notification. Whatsapp, messages, gmail, hangouts, all the same. It's not exactly white (more green-white-purple-ish), but the problem is that it is all the same. Whenever I choose a theme or start charging I see the full colors.. Why can't I have this for my notifications. To fix this I already tried fiddling with my stamina settings, factory reset, using SUES to re-install the latest update.. Nothing seems to work. When I used the app Light Manager from the appstore, the test function all showed the same white-ish led for all the led colors.

So I guess my question is: Is this normal? Can it be fixed? And if so: how do I fix it?

The second problem I encountered is the Xperia L's inability to use my Transcend 16 GB class 10 microSDHC card. I've seen another post from someone with a 32 GB Transcend class 10 card with the same problem. It reports as "The SD card is blank or filesystem unsupported". My guess is that this phone has issues with class 10 or transcend cards. I do not really expect a solution for this problem, other than to buy another microSD card.

I hope my issue with the notification LED can be explained and fixed.

Yours sincerely,

Wumbo7

Hi!

I have the same issue!

The notification light is only white for aplications. But other colors are availables when charging

Is it normal?

Thanks

No, I don't think so. In the user guide it mentions:

"A notification light also gives you battery status information and some notifications. For example, a flashing blue light means there is a new message or a missed call. The notification light may not work when the battery level is low."

So it seems to me that our phone isn't working properly. I already contacted chat support, they confirmed the issue with class 10 cards that some Xperia phones are having. For.the LED issue they advised me to do an update repair in SUS, but that didn't work for me, so the guy I was chatting with told me to go back to the store and have it sent for repair. Since I own the phone for only 5 days I'm trying to get refund/another device.

Thanks!

What is "an update repair in SUS"????

I got the phone only for 1 week!!!!

I think I will have to get a new one....

It's Sony update service: http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/

Make sure to back-up your data first!

Thanks!

I think...I am restoring it!

I hope it works but...

I see that when someone is calling me the led is blue...when it notifies the missed call the led is white...

Hey, noticed the same thing! It could be that this phone only notifies in white LED.. which would be a shame. But I'm not really sure anymore if this is a problem that could be fixed by sending the phone to repair, I don't really like the outlook of losing this awesome phone for a few weeks. (According to shop reviews, the shop I bought my phone isn't too eager about replacing/refunding and rather send devices back for repair..).

I'll open another thread asking if the notification LED is always white for this device, as I already encountered another individual with the same problem as ours http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42051557&postcount=20

Let me know if the update repair fixed anything for you.

Illumination bar from the play store seems to work, kind of! It definitely doesn't seem like a hardware issue to me at the moment.
