Can you suggest me a good LED control app?
I was trying the full LightFlow App but it doesn't run really well. For example i set up it for Whatsapp but it blinks at the rate that i choosed only for the first 5 seconds, then it turns back to the whatsapp's default rate!
Thanks
Simple.. turn led control off in whatsapp then it won't over rule lightflow

nope, it doesn't work. The same with calendar: the LightFlow's notification works till the screen is on (i set screen to turn on 5 secs), when the screen shuts down the led turns white and "default" blink rate. And i set off the control of the LED by the calendar...
If then i press the power button and turn the screen on, the lightflow's notification works again till the screen shuts down again
P.s. lightflow is enabled in stamina mode
EDIT: it works if i turn off Stamina Mode... strange! there is a conflict

Try to white-list that app in the stamina mode.
As i said Lightflow is enabled (or whitelisted) in Stamina mode!
there is a conflict with Stamina Mode and lightflow or lightflow is working on your device???
So i'm searching another app

I remember in 4.2.2 release note, SONY committed LED notification issue resolved and LED would also work in Stamina Mode in 4.2.2.
The thing is it's only partially working after my testing. In Stamina Mode of 4.2.2, SONY just gives LED White light ONLY and Fixed frequency ONLY under Stamina, all your customerized light&frequency would not working under Stamina mode.
Example, If you set missed call with Red color & High frequency shining, when your screen is on, then LED goes like that way, once your screen off and the phone falls into Stamina mode, LED would only show White color with a slow&fixed frequency.
I'm not sure whether you encounter the same issue? I'm stock 4.2.2 Hong Kong Rom.
Any one else find a way around this?
Some people say disable backing up the Google account and reset the phone (I can't imagine what that has to do with an LED). Others say turn off stamina mode - this gets my LED working again, but I like to use stamina mode.

Did you try installing the Light Flow app from store?
Thanks, unfortunately Light Flow doesn't work on my phone. I have tried every setting. I chatted to Sony about this and they said that Stamina mode is directed to turn off LEDs but from customer feedback, they will change this in future software updates for phones.

I did try and I use Light Flow indeed, it's not working, SONY forbids 3rd LED control when L36h falls into Stamina Mode, it gives White Light&Fixed Frequency only.
Same here, shows only white LED for notifications but changes to appropriate color when screen is unlocked :-/

I see the exact same thing: tested with Whatsapp, color Green: in stamina mode with whatsapp as exception entered. Upon pressing the power button to light up the screen // go to unlock page, it turns green.
I asked Sony this in their chatroom, they said Stamina mode is responsible and it's designed to do that. They said that given the strong feedback that consumers don't like it, that it would be changed in future updates...that's all I got.
Ok I am just gonna come out and say it...my LED notifications work normally, show all the correct colours and such,,,even with Stamina mode turned on...I haven't touched anything. I'm on 244.
Sometimes, when I plug my phone to charge with stamina on, indicator doesn't turn on until I wake screen up.
I had same issue with whatsapp, but after I put it in Stamina apps list, it receives notifications and LED works (using blue for whatsapp)

Has anyone found an app that gives us better control over the hardware LED?
I'd like to have the notification light periodically blink when there's an SMS message or missed call, (and maybe some of the other important notifications), and the default settings offer so little control as to be useless. <rant> Seriously, why would I want a LED to tell me if the phone is charging, I can see damned well that it's charging, there's a cord attached! </rant>
There's the LEDBlinker app, which has all the options i'd want, but when I put it into test mode, it doesn't blink the leds.
Has anyone else tried to do this? Has anyone had any success? It's a cool hardware feature, that I think i'd really use - but it's hobbled by the crap configuration options Samsung gave us.
Thanks

Samsung prevents the LED notifications from working unless the screen is turned off. I'm using Light Manager (the dev participates on this forum), and so far it works fine in "alternate" mode. When you test the LED settings, a pop-up tells you to turn off the screen, and only then will the test work (and it does).

Thanks - turns out I'd turned the LED off in settings (along with the options to use the LED to show charging status). /facepalm
My LED only flashes white when the phone is locked. I have my Whatsapp LED set to red for incoming messages, yet it only blinks White when my phone is locked and I receive a msg. when it's unlocked, it blinks Red as it should.
Is this normal behavior ? it's the first time i see it...
My WhatsApp is set to green and the phones flashed green whille locked...

As far as i know, it's normal behaviour due to STAMINA MODE. Try it, without STAMINA MODE and it should blink with the color you set in Whatsapp.

Thank you. Deactivating stamina mode took care of it. My battery life wil decrease though, there's no way for it to work with stamina mode enabled?

For now there seems to be no other solution. Even trying to use third party apps to control LED Light&Colors (available at the play store) seem to fail, to withstand the STAMINA MODE, putting them on the whitelist won't help neither
You can use Greenify instead of STAMINA MODE. If you are rooted it will work automatically otherwise manually.

What is it with Sony and the LED?! hahaha seems like they think it consumes lots of power, it's just a tiny led! on the Xperia Z it didn't flash at all when Stamina was activated.
Hi,
I have the phone charging next to me overnight and the bright lights are really annoying. I have setup Light Flow to dim the charging LED but cant get it's sleep mode to work correctly so that notifications don't make the led bright and flashing again (I have it enabled for a certain time period and set the light/LED to disabled).
I have also tried using an app called "Do Not Disturb" which allows you to stop Mobile Data and Wifi over it's sleep period to stop the notifications from turning up but that doesn't seem to stop them properly and they still show up (along with their very bright flashing light).
So, has anyone had any luck getting these apps to work or do you have an alternative that does these jobs successfully for you?
I already invested a lot of time in finding a proper solution for the Z3, but maybe here someone found a solution in the meantime?
(I can't root the device, as it's the device of my girl friend)
Thanks for any help.
I use tasker to shut down sync and mobile connections when charging. Without root there is no solution so far. You can turn of light notifications, but battery/charging notifications stay active and have priority above Lightflow settings.

Within Light Flow, make sure the charging/charged lights have priority above all other notifications and you should be set.
I, too, use Tasker to disable data at night, but sometimes some notification comes along anyway (like a birthday reminder or something). However, thanks to Light Flow suppressing other notifications than the charge related ones, I don't get blinded at night anymore.
Previously, I used Light Manager for the same job, but for me, LM couldn't really handle those other notifications, and instead started to switch between blinking the colour of the notification and the dimmed charge light.
Hey guys, question:
i'm used to the do not disturb mode on my old iPhone, where this function puts all the notifications on silent, no vibration and my screen stays off, even if I receive a message. Now i'm using this function on my new P9, and it works almost in the same way, but my screen keeps going on when I receive messages.. is there any way to turn this off?
I use it all the time, and my screen doesn't turn on. Check you app configurations.

Go to the settings app and then click on "Notification & status bar" option.
Under this option you should see "Notifications turn on screen" - tap the toggle to turn it off and then your P9 will not turn on the display with any notifications

When I toggle this option, my screen indeed won't turn on on notifications, but that's in every situation, even if the silent mode is off. I'm searching for this function just in the case silent mode is on..
thanks though!
