Notification LED in Stamina mode

(Re-asking the same question I've seen a few years ago for other phones without satisfactory answer; perhaps things have moved on now though)
Is there some way of getting the LED to flash to show notifications received while in stamina mode? I've whitelisted Hangouts and and the screen lights up and the phone vibrates successfully but if I'm away then I have to turn my screen on to check because of the lack of LED. I don't see any sensibly named apps I can whitelist to enable this.

Stamina Mode: LED Notification for Calendar Events

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/highl... but it is from the middle of 2013 and the information provided therein might thus be outdated.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.

Stamina Mode and Led Notification

Hi
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

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 !!

I downloaded the S5 upgrade a week ago. Now, may notification LED will not work when phone is in 'mute' mode. It always did before. How do I fix this?

Ultra stamina mode resetting notification preferences

Hi,
Loving my new Z3 compact but noticed a potential bug...Has anyone else used the ultra stamina mode and noticed the notification preferences reset once turning off ultra stamina?
I have tested the ultra stamina mode now several times and its very impressive - I got over a day with just 6% battery. However, when i turn the phone back to normal mode afterwards I find all the notifications I have turned off (facebook, instagram, etc) are back on popping up on the dropdown bar.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks

Could you please send me your details in a PM, and I will forward this.

Stamina mode doesn't work

When I turn on the stamina mode it's supposed to turn off the WI-FI when I lock the screen but I still recieving all the notifications, I've read that you have to wait 15 minutes for it to turn off the WI-FI but I've tried and it didn't work, I keep recieving all the notifications and the LED brights too. I don't know what to do, could somebody help me?

hi there, i think i have the same problem, when stamina mode is on, it supposed to turn off the wi-fi or it should only connect to known wifi address, but it automaticly turn on the wifi even if there is no known wifi around, but it is another unknown wifi address. i think it's a bug.
and i think the stamina mode is not really usefull even if i turn it on or not, i use my z1 frequently, from morning 100%, and can only last for 12 - 15 max, with only messaging ( BBM, facebook, instagram), a bit of browsing, and game ( clash of clan).
i already turn off the auto-sync, and only put BBM, and whatsapp on the white list on stamina mode.

Can't open a message in Ultra Stamina Mode

For both suggestions, I need to try on Ultra Stamina Mode or usual mode?

Please be informed that :
There's no messaging app which locates under Settings (either Ultra Stamina Mode or usual Mode) so I can't follow your 2 solutions.
==========================================
I followed your link above, as result is
-I ensured the lock screen / notification bar doesn’t indicate “no service” when the device has coverage.
-I cannot "close-all-button" in the activity menu because lollipop 5.0.2 update doesn’t provide the button for my Xperia Z1.
-I did as this advice "Unblocked devices with server policies (such as Exchange Active Sync for e-mail), to enable the new Lollipop lock-screen notifications"
-I ensured the LED light is lit across all sound modes - and no longer offset by “silent”
-My internal memory is 5 gb so no need to move a content to SD card.
However, as Sony and Android said "
Improved messaging functionality in Ultra stamina mode – some conversations could not be opened before in Ultra stamina mode" then I think your team no need to tell a user that Messaging app is available for Ultra Stamina Mode before I activate the mode (it makes me confused). Some conversations or other should not have affecting to Ultra Stamina Mode. In the future, if some of an app doesn't work peffectly or your team does not on any app, could you please kindly don't push it and tell a user that it is available in the Ultra Stamina Mode?. Thanks

Stamina Mode not working in Z3

I have problems with Stamina Mode. It doesn't work for majority of the apps. Meaning, even if I don't whitelist an app in the stamina mode, their notifications shows up and they send/receive data&colon; Pushbullet, Gmail, Twitter are only few examples.
So basically the connection is not shut down when in stamina mode.
Is this the case for any of you?

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
The phone must be in standby mode for some time, around 15 minutes, before Stamina mode kicks in. Have you tried to have your phone in standby mode for at least 15 minutes and then tried if the phone can receive any data.

Ultra Stamina Mode problem

Yesterday I've updated my phone to 4.4.4, and today I've activated the Ultra Stamina Mode option, and when it was done loading, everything was working fine.. I've disabled Ultra Stamina Mode, the phone rebooted, everything was working fine until I've enabled the Ultra Stamina Mode again, and after it was done loading, then I had to go.. I've listened to music on my MDR-ZX610AP(which btw, the button is now finally working), and after 30 minutes, when I came back home, I wanted to disable Ultra Stamina Mode, but it didn't work(I've tapped on the notification and pressed Okay as usually, but the phone was simply not responding to that command, I mean it was not preparing for reboot), so I've rebooted the phone by holding power and selecting restart, and after the restart, I got stuck somewhere between Ultra Stamina Mode and the normal mode.. My screen is gray, I only have some apps.. And I've tried to reenter the Ultra Stamina Mode and get back to normal, nothing.. Tried to reboot in normal mode, nothing.. What can I do, beside repairing using pc companion or factory reset? I don't really want to lose my data..

Hi,
That sounds strange. I suggest that you boot your phone into safe mode to see if you experience the same behaviour:

Otherwise, it sounds like you need to perform a software repair or a factory reset.

Ultra Stamina Mode Major Bug.

I have a Xperia Z1, updated to the latest Android lollipop version. I enabled Ultra Stamina Mode today while I was out and once I got home I tried to deactivate it. But it would not deactivate. Therefore I just restarted the phone. Once restarted I find that I'm still in some sort of ultra stamina mode hybrid. Most of my apps are hidden in the default Xperia Home launcher even though I can still see they're on my phone in Settings->Apps. I can't open any of the few apps that are available as they crash. I got frequent Google Play Services has crashed notifications. I restarted several times, activated and deactivated ultra stamina mode numerous times and still no luck. I searched this issue through Google and found that many people have also encountered this problem and that the only solution was to do a factory reset. So there you go, I had to do a factory reset, lost all my apps and data which weren't backed up all because Sony can't do quality control when updating their phones. If you're going to add a feature Sony make sure you test the **bleep** thing on your phones!

You could try something more drastic, repair the phone with PCC

Stamina Mode doesn't immediately take effect when screen is off.

This is what I observed after playing around with Stamina mode on the Z3C. My build version is: 23.0.1.A.5.79 and running Android Version 4.4.4.
When you manually lock the screen it doesn't immediately go into stamina mode, and I can still receive data from all apps and get all notifications. After about 5 mins of staying locked with no interruption from data received and notifications, Stamina mode will start working and only allow the allowed list of apps to receive data and display notifications. Another observation is that once Stamina mode is working as it should and one of the allowed apps wakes up the screen, Stamina mode will continue block any apps not listed as allowed to receive data and continue to work, which is PERFECT.
However, if any data is received between the time you lock the screen and the 5 min mark, notifications can keep coming from any app until the full 5 mins has gone through with no interruption from any apps data or notifications.
My question is why doesn't Stamina mode take effect immediately after you lock your phone and the screen is off? If it waits for 5 mins and data keeps coming every 1-4 mins, then Stamina mode will never be activated and the battery will drain as normal.

Stamina Mode ignores my whitelist

Hi,
I have some problems with the stamina mode. I have created a whitelist with gmail and whtasapp. After 10min or so I get no more notifications. After I turn on the display I receive all my messages?? I have set Wifi to stay connected in standby and I have tried every possible method with no success.

There a few things that you can try
1. boot on safemode and see if you experience the same problem
2. you could repair your phone with PCC

ULTRA Stamina Mode bugs

1- When I am in ULTRA Stamina mode there isn't SMS app and I can't send SMS because Contacts app takes me to Whatsapp or Viber. But obviously I'm not able to use them. I use Hangout as default messaging app. But I think that's possible to use the stock messaging app in ULTRA Stamina mode.
2- When I shut down ULTRA Stamina mode the phone forgets to hide all the notifications of the apps I've disabled in settings > Personalizations > notification settings.
UP- ULTRA Stamina Mode
DOWN- my screenshots

I believe Sony are aware of bugs surrounding Ultra stamina mode and have said that a bug fix will be issued but haven't said when exactly only Summer time

Kitkat and stamina mode

Iv'e updated to kitkat at long last and stamina mode is still active as it was before update but I do not have a icon in my notification bar anymore? Is it still active???

I like the interface,I kind of feel it smoother than 4.3.But I do not like that even though I have more free RAM,in Antutu the score did not improve.

Lenovo Vibe Shot - Brightness and Notification LED

Hello, I have just bought new Lenovo Vibe Shot. Phone looks very good, but I have two things, that bothers me.1) Brightness on low level on automatic mode is too low and the screen is too dim. On stock Android 5.1 is adaptive brightness, so I thing it could be also in Lenovo ROM or more options in brightness would be fine.2) Notification LED shows only charging. It could show futher notice, like missed calls, missed SMS or messages from facebook messenger or whatsapp and so on. Is it possible to built in these two things into next update of the oficial stock ROM? I don´t know, if I am here on the right place

I am excited and can't wait for the product as well.
