Please advice how to resolve the problem?

Hi Deebak,

I have an ST18a - not modified in any way. With ICS I still get the LED around the home button flashing GREEN when gmail arrives.

Incoming text messages flash the LED green too.

Nothing for missed calls, but I don't recall Gingerbread doing anything with the LED on missed calls.

One thing I like is that missed calls do not put a call missed counter on the phone icon ... that was such a pain in Gingerbread because you could clear the notification but the counter on the phone icon would stay until you went into the dialer, call log and then exited out.

Have you installed any 3rd party apps that could affect this? I know for example that Handcent SMS can change the notification colors via its settings.

What do you think about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

Hi Markus,

I didnt install any 3rd party applications.

As i dont get LED notifications in my phone by default,i installed a LED notification 3rd party application(After starting this forum) and then it is working fine.

Please suggest me how to get LED notification without any 3rd party application. Is there any settings need to be changed? If so, please tell the navigation for the specific setting.

Hi Markut (Sony Xperia Support),

I factory reset my phone before i update my phone to ICS.

After updating my phone to ICS, when i synchronise the contacts with Facebook and google, it includes the contacts of both contacts, but the picture is there only for google contacts and the contact picture is shown as blank for facebook contact. Please advice.

did you went to the settings on each of the apps that you listed up there?

gmail -> menu -> more -> @gmail.com -> email notifications must be selected.

good afternoon,

for me same problem. after updating this morning (dutch version), i also have no longer the option to have the led flashing when i missed a call. i have no 3rd party software installed, and also don't want this, because the option was in GB available. in meetings i often have my phone silenced, and this was a good option to see i i had any calls.

i did the test as described above, and it is working. so pls advise how to get this working again.

also it is not working for receiving sms messages

for now it looks like it is working ok for now
