Hi everyone,
As you might notice, when you have Stamina Mode on you won't get LED notifications on your Xperia Z.
There’s a great app on the Play Store called Light Flow! This app let you personalize every type off notification with a vast set of colors!
The thing is, it only works with Stamina Mode off! Even if I have the application in the white list!
Anyone manage to make LED notifications work with Stamina Mode??
I got a question, how do I access the stamina mode white list?
I can't find it on my Z settings.

the same part that is responsible for notifications is responsible for showing the led. I don't think this is a service that you can white list. So hopefully Sony will see this as an bug and exempt the notification service from stamina, it they are able to control this independent from the rest of the core os.

No no no.
It doesn't prevent the service.
It prevents other apps from running under the lockscreen so they never receive notifications to show.
Sony have already provided the solution, you can add apps to the white list so that they DO run under the lockscreen (and thereby receive notifications).

Do you have LED notification when you receive a SMS with Stamina Mode on?
Notification light turns off in Stamina Mode so anyone claiming it still works is lying - There's no way to use it, hopefully Sony will change this in 4.2.2 but somehow doubt it.
You had better tell that to my device. It must be lying.

I tested properly a short while ago.
I hadn't thought twice about this before, as like I said, I receive notifications for my Corporate email account. I don't use this phone for personal use, so I hadn't tested SMS etc.
I tested a few apps earlier after I saw this thread and I can't find any others that trigger the LED notification in stamina mode.
Sorry if I mis-lead people before, I assumed that as it works for my email account, it would work for other apps.
EDIT: I don't use any other apps and am running a totally stock ROM and am not rooted as this is a work supplied device (not my choice of handset).
power
my stamina mode wouldnt work it just said the same hours for wen it was on and off, and i had 2 do a reset to get it working again, any1 else had this problem

I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure mine does work with Stamina Mode on... It turns off with Low Battery Mode turned on though.
Nope check Sony's video on it. Stamina does turn it off for good. It sucks, the mode does nothing for my battery life.

Hello...as many other i try to find a working solution to get notification working with "button light" ...
i try a lot of apps ..for example "iled, led blinker, noled..and many others ...also i try LG Touch LED Notifications which is pretty cool but does not work as expected ..for my P700 device ...
now i finally found a working "LED Notification app" .. but unfortunally it notify only missing calls and sms..however ..its real small application ..does not use that much battery ...for everyone who would give it a shot ...get it from the market ..
***s://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.kreijack.xled&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImV1LmtyZWlqYWNrLnhsZWQiXQ..
or simply search for "xled"
As far as i can see it is open source and allowed to modify ...maybe someone could implement such features of "google talk, whatsapps" etc. notification features????
For the moment i use "xled" for incoming calls and sms ... for all other notification i use "flashme" which also not bad ...if you use the flashlight as notification with a transparent silicon cover for you phone it give a pretty cool effect
I found that the developer of xled provides a newer version that the one which is avialble at the market...
The package was renamed to xled2 ..download from:
http://cassiopea.homelinux.net/android/XLed/
New features are the following:
1. Select Timeframe where the service should run
2. Select Button Light Driver
I use the LG P500 Button on-off driver
I'm very interested about this, i also had the idea a month ago, but i didn't went deeper about
That would be great if it would work with whatsapp or general android notifies

@urobbot... could you verify ..that the version of LG Touch LED Notifications is also working for you?
With the default lockscrenn i have the issue that the led notification starts to flicker ..so doesen´t work very well...
Without any lockscreen enable everything works fine ...
Haven´t test whatsapp right now.. but sms, call, google talk...for talk notification i monitor the google.framework activity.

Since using cm10 ..LG LED .. is fully working for me... the only issue is that the feedback mode "constant" does not work..which is bad because blinking uses much more battery ...
but with feddback mode "non fading pulse" everything works well... sms call google talk whatsapp
Hi ..
for anyone how would like to give it a shoot ...(if LG LED notification is not working for you)
try
ButtonLED
Setup using "/sys/devices/platform/pmic-leds/leds/button-blacklight/brightness", this is the file that autodiscover suggest to use.
First test only missing calls works for me, so i played around with this tool and notice that i receive every notification if i setup
Turn LED on for : 1s
Then turn it off for : 0s
Permanent Notification : on
This tool capture every notification which is send to statusbar, so don´t forget to enable it in accessibility settings.
To save battery "set up exception" so you cutoff messages you don´t care about.
Hi again...
here is another notification program i tested...works good and is easy to setup.
Only thing you should be aware of is to disable lock screen testing inside the program settings...
Missed Message Flasher
There is also a free version you should test first. But the free version there is limited to a few app notifications
Missed Message Flasher Free
It was great going to try

I called Sony tech and asked about this, and found out that this vibration itself is defective since no matter if it's phone calls / texs / emails, it vibrates when Vibrate is unchecked.. I installed an email app created by some other people and stopped using this phone's original email app, but it still vibrates when the vibration is unchecked. So they, Sony recommended me to reinstall the Android software (all data will be deleted), and if it doesn't work, we have to send the phone to Sony factory to fix the vibration deficiency.. it's frustrating..
Same problem here. But it just vibrates when the phone is in vibrate mode. I also think it's a bug in the mail app..
Did someone find a solution?
Hi,
Actually it's an Android 4.2 "feature".
I personnally consider it a bug, bug the source code is quite clear : the behaviour is intended.
There's a bug request in the android tracker, I suggest you star it.
Issue number is 39592 (sorry, can't post links yet).
One solution is to select the "silent" notification sound for each notification you don't wan't to vibrate when in vibrate mode.
Obviously those notifications would also be muted in normal mode, which kinds of defeats the purpose of having a different setting for sound & vibration.
If you're rooted you could always try and compile your own replacement class and patch the framework, but that's a dev's work, not a customer one. Can't blame Sony though. They just re-used the AOSP code.
Cheers,
Mine doesn't vibrate, only the apps that I had selected to vibrate. I take it when you say email you are only referring to gmail app?

got this problem when i disable vibration for certain app which only hav notification sound. once i change to vibrate mode, the app will vibrate which i disable it.
thought its a bug. did a search n found this ans. any other way? i wonder.
The problem doesn't appear anymore in the new email app (firmware with Android 4.3).
Other notification works but the stock text message does not. I've reset uninstalled And reinstalled and still nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm wondering if the problem is caused by the phone turning on when i get a message?
Had the same issue. Exchanged gear watch and still resulted the same. Exchanged phone and problem dissappear.

Where do you see "lock automatically"? I don't see this under Lock Screen options.
It's definitely the lock screen causing this. If (like me) you turned off the lock screen completely, the sms notifications failed to show on the watch.

It is indeed. This is really annoying. I don't like to use a lockscreen, but I want texts to relay to the watch. What's the root cause? Is the lockscreen widget actually relaying the messages? Is it a bug? Would really like a fix that doesn't require me to lock the screen.

That's unusual. Do you have the latest version of Gear Manager? I think one of the updates killed it for me, because I used to get SMS notifications to the Gear fine. I can reproduce it now by switching to no lock screen and back. I'm running 1.4.102802.

The Samsung App store page for Gear Manager will tell you. I recommend you don't update, because you'll most likely lose SMS notifications to the Gear.
Hi,
I'm just missing the notification LED in the X2 Pro, I tried NotifyBuddy, Always On Edge Lightning, flash notifications but they are not working or battery hungry apps.
Aren't you missing the notification LED? If so are you using something?

I also tried out the aforementioned apps and stuck with NotifyBuddy, haven't noticed an usually large battery drain at all and it works for eight various messaging apps each day.
Notifybuddy works very well, no battery drain and completely affordable. I have removed battery limits from app settings and has it blocked in background. Really i have no issue with it.

I do try NotifyBuddy but I fell uncomfortable because the fingerprint scanner is not active. Looks like the app overlaying on top of the fingerprint scanner. So I need to wake my phone before I use fingerprint.
Can we enable to make fingerprint active when AOD is displaying?

When you receive a notification you can set double tap to wake, for me is very comfortable, because i have face unlock enabled and that combination works very well.

I seem to find notify buddy works (most of the time).
But according to the battery stats, it's draining the most battery. I'm not sure how accurate it is because it doesn't feel like I'm losing that much battery with it.
Had anyone actually verified the battery drain?
Are you receiving the notifications for google messages? If so, how did you get them to show up?
I remember it was a whole problem trying to get them to work on the x70 pro+, but it wss possible. Now I tried doing the same on this phone but I'm still not getting notifications. Only stock app notifications are working. Any idea?
Edit: ok... guess I had forgotten to allow notifications, allow background battery, and give all permissions to carrier services. Seems to be working now.
Edit2: I was reading the forums and just found out that notifications don't work properly in dark mode. So I had to switch off dark mode. Is there a reason why this happens and is there a fix?

No fix at the moment AFAIK. As @Thanos88 said it's best to just report this to vivo directly.
What boggles my mind is that the dark mode notification bug was already present on previous vivo phones with Origin OS and IT WAS FIXED... So why is it an issue again? I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the apps being non-Chinese. All Chinese apps work perfectly with or without dark mode. Vivo most likely doesn't care about apps that are mainly used outside of China.

Correct, should have been fixed with the x80 pro. But to be honest, im using dark mode, and I still get sms notifications with the default messaging app. However, I do have the vivo.pem app uninstalled so that's probably why text message notifications are working for me
