Xperia arc S - LED problems

Hey guys!

Since the update to Android 4.0 the notification-LED of my Xperia arc S isn't working proper anymore. It still works when showing the battery status but no notifications (e.g. emails, facebook or whatsapp) are shown. Software repairs or workarounds like installing 'Light Flow' doesn't solve the Problem.

I hope someone can help me fixing this issue because the LED was a reason for buying this phone.

Thank you very much!

the LED problem is a common bug in the ICS update. try searching the forum for simillar problems.

the only workaround for the mean time is to download a third party app

well that is unfortunate, all you can do now is to wait if sony will release another update, and hopefully it will include the fix for the led

Any suggestions for a third party application that might solve the issue without root?

You could always revert back to android 2.3.4 to fix the problem until a fix is available.

I'm sorry but "SMS Popup" doesn't work for MMS, GoSMS, WhatsApp, Facebook and Emails. Besides, the App itself is verry flawed. I don't want to replace a bug with another.

Thank you anyway! Slightly_smiling_Face
