Notification LED not showing correct colours. - Sony Xperia ZL

Hello. I have a brand new, unrooted, locked bootloader C6503. For some weird reason, my phone is not displaying the correct colours in the notification LED. For example, it should show a redish color when the charge is under 90%, but it showing green. In the Walkman app, it's stuck to a cyan colour and so on. I have no idea if it's related, but this problem surfaced soon after I updated the Album app. Anyone faced something similar?

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping it was a software bug, not something that'd require me to open the device, specially as it's just only 2 week old. But I'll save the video for future reference.

Notification led works fine here. No issues whatsoever for last 3 days. It blinks for missed calls, sms, other notification on lockscreen, while charging, when battery is low (<15%), on playing media or changing media (pics/songs etc) playback. The led even changes its colour according to the pics being viewed or album art of the song being played, which feels quite awesome :victory:!
I have the international Xperia ZL black (C6502) currently running latest stock sony rom (build ver 10.1.A.1.434), not rooted & oem BL status (ie locked).
Yes it works for some people but it's a KNOWN SONY ISSUE! Even with the z.

By works, do you mean you are able to set custom LED notifications using light flow? Mine works while viewing pictures, listening to music, low batt and missed call. But there are no options to customize it.

By works I mean that It WORKS when I get MMS,SMS,Email, Missed call, Gmail and so on. Before Notifications would only work during battery low or battery charging which is a KNOWN issue with Sony at the moment for the Z and the ZL. But yes I use light flow to change the colours.

Stuck pixel. There is no red in your screenshot. I do see some white pixels where they don't belong, however.
Does this happen on KTU84P?
Hmm on my screen the blobs are red and not white. Is there s way fix this? I am on 4.4.4 BTW Cleanrom.

Oh, does it use the navbar from the 5.0 preview?
You might try something like this? https://play.google.com/store/search?q=stuck pixel&hl=en I have no idea if it will help, though.

I have the exact same problem except I have it in the top right corner and I notice it on darker backgrounds , as far as I know their is no way to fix it because I think it is a hardware issue

Yea are you going to try to replace it.

Yes they will, but the process goes like this. Contact to get RMA, they of course try troubleshooting first ( which is basically factory reset), when that doesn't work, they inform you that you need to order a replacement which they will send you a special link to order. You order it with a credit card, they place a hold for the amount of the new unit, they send it to you and you return the defective one and they release the hold. You receive a brand new unit, not a refurbished one. As long as you have relocked your bootloader and flashed the stock ROM (assuming you did at all) all will be good. I have not had any touch problems with my replacement or pink spots appearing.

[Q] auto brightness issue on screen

Do you guys notice that auto brightness still On even when its turn off, i mean when certain images on screen change, the brightness change a bit depending on how dark or light the image is... Has nothing to do with light around you.
Try browsing a vibrant picture then change to dark picture..

i dont know any fix but have you changed any thing in your phone
installed any conflicting brightness or some sort of keep device wake up kind of apps
last thing you can do is take a back up of your current states
then do a fresh install wipe every thing
that can solve your issue
coz from where i can see settings for sensor is messed up

One more question, what text or file on system that control auto brightness or screen brightness ? Buildprop or something like that...
Can you give me that file from your phone ?
Or just tell me how to find on my system, and what phrase/word/command

I'm using xperia z ultra and having the same issue, had this problem on 4.4 and 4.3 but never on 4.2. I guess its a 'feature' called Content Adaptive Backlight (google it) and can't be disabled.

[Q] Icon and text distorted

Newly bought M9. Icons and Text seems to be filled or surrounded with pixels in red. See screenshots attached.
I have checked and am sure there is no dead pixels on the screen.
Does anyone have this problem and know how to fix it? or should I return the phone to the retailer?
Thanks!!

Take it back. That doesnt seem right at all
If it's showing in screenshots too, it's software error.. So either try out some different roms, or if you don't like doing that, try a full reset and if it's still go back with it.
Thx guys, took it back and got a new one

Were you rooted before the update and if so did you keep it after the update?
Nope, i wasn't rooted
Got it via the updater app..
Green tint totally fixed
but image retention persist
Definitely not getting it in the US right now, either in system updates or the Oxygen updater
Doesnt mention display improvement
I noticed image retention a few days ago on the battery bar at the top. Ghosting can happen. I removed all icons from bar at the top but it took 24 hours for the battery ghosting to disappear. 24 hours.
Due to burn in risk I removed these icons for good.
With the new update put icons back and I can confirm the ghosting still remains. Don't want to test long term as I'm worried about burn In
got it through updater. green tint is massively improved. maybe even solved (cannot comment as I can't go into a fully dark room right now), but there is clearly some shade difference moving the brightness lower (likely when PWM changes its rate). I do notice a bit of a red effect around some elements but it is too early to tell if it is anything.
also DC Dimming black crush is improved massively, I am super happy about that

Nice to see Oneplus is busy to enable 5g for new providers on every OTA, it sucks they didn't activate VF NL (yet)
Maybe they're holding on the US to give us dual sim.... Or is this wishful thinking?
These version is EU only.

Would guess wishful ....ha ha
Now will be checking every few hours for AA.
The Bluetooth connectivity is so messed up with this update that the phone is not usable with a Bluetooth headset (and its the only way how I take calls). I dont get this: I hoped that they improved the WiFi 5Ghz problem and video stutter issue ( I didnt checked the first one) with the update, but they messed up one of the essential functions of the phone. The problem is: the phone is 1000 Euro and after every update it has at least one MAJOR ISSUE. I couldnt use it normally for a single day for a 1000 Euro phone. And I wanted to give it a chance. This is getting rediculous.
I think they fixed the green tint with the red tint?. Anyway much better than before. I want to try for a day the input lag of the touchscreen and the tint if are gone
