Stamina Mode and Led Notification

cableguy4 — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 14:47:28 GMT

Do Sony have any plans to allow apps that use LED notification work correctly when Stamina mode is enabled?

i.e. the light Manager app allows a user to configure LED notications, but it only works for a few seconds when Stamina mode is enabled(even though the app is added to the Apps Active in Standby), you have to disable Stamina mode for lightmanager to work correctly

I'm using Light Flow and it appears to works fine.

Really? LightFlow doesn't work for me. On Stamina Mode, my LED customizations will work for maybe 10-15s, but then it goes back to the default LED (slow purple light).

And yes, I have Light Flow as well as whatever app is generating the notifications added to the whitelist for Stamina Mode.

It appears that you are right.

I only use Stamina mode only when the battery is under 50% and I didn't observe what you say.

Is there any update availabel to this topic ?
Searched half a day also in german boards and found no answer which satisfied me.

Using Xperia Z1 compact

Android 4.4.4

If Stamina mode is activated, the LED doesn't flash ANY time !

It also DOESN'T flash, if I activate the screen !!!

I don't think this is normal...

I've also tried several apps like "Light Manager", "Light flow" and so on...
With this apps, the LED is "flashing" every 2 or 3 second white/violett, not recognizable if you're not sitting direct above the phone !
After activating the screen, the LED is flashing as set up in the app.... faster and other colour.

YES, I added the messaging app and / or the light app to Stamina.

Dear Sony Team, I would appreciate, if you'll implement to the next update the choice, to activate the LED notification with activated Stamina !

And if possible a little bit more illumination !!

We are users to users forum, so of course you can try to ask Sony using Xperia Care but I don't think they will help much with third party app.

Back to Stamina mode. The essence of this mode is to reduce energy used by the phone, so it limits almost all network activity and suspends applications (except Phone and SMS/MMS messages in stock app).

I have few exceptions there like Hangouts, Messenger, Mail, Facebook and few others that I actually want to be notified despite higher energy consumption. And I receive light notification from every of those apps.

Maybe for some reason apps tweaking notification colors cause trouble with Stamina mode but in this case I would also ask developers of those apps to check their compatibility with Xperias. Stamina is not Android-standard app.
