Stamina Mode: LED Notification for Calendar Events

nvx — Mon, 09 Mar 2015 09:43:12 GMT

Is there any application I should add to the Stamina Mode exceptions list in order to get LED notfications for calendar events? I have already added the respective calendar application to the list so sound notifications are provided but the LED will still not flash.

I have stumbled upon a relevant thread (http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-SP/Xperia-SP-Notification-LED-and-STAMINA-Mode/m-p/326146/highlight/true#M529) but it is from the middle of 2013 and the information provided therein might thus be outdated.

Hints/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT (2015-03-11):

I just noticed that -- even if Stamina Mode is turned off -- the notification LED lights up only after waking the phone up. Is this by design? I mean, the whole purpose of a notification LED is to, well, notify the user about events that they have missed while the phone was locked / in sleep mode...

Stamina mode has been designed to turn the LED notifications off, as an effort to save as much power as possible. However, in products from Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z1 Compact and later, the LED illuminates when there is an incoming call or message when STAMINA mode is on.

I tested here and it works like you say, the LED doesn't flash for calendar reminders even when Stamina is off. I will forward that as feedback but it may perhaps work if you download another calendar application as long as Stamina is off.

Rickard,

Thank you for your response and for forwarding the information. Considering other calendar applications, in addition to the stock app I have also tested Sunrise and Google Calendar and in neither case the LED came to life before I woke the phone up even with Stamina Mode off.

Hopefully the developers (or the future update to Lollipop) will sort things out.
