Illumination Notification Bar xperia sp

[thierry3517]

hello,

The main reason I got this phone was the illumination bar, however since upgrading to 12.0.A.2.245 earlier today it no longer works when I have a notification. The only way it will constantly blink to alert me to a notification is to turn stamina mode off which halves the battery life of the phone. It will blink once when stamina mode is on but this is of no use to me as I want a visible notification when the screen is off.
Please address this issue in the 4.3 update and revert to the illumination notification of the previous software.

i was 100% satisfied with this phone but after this update i'm somehowe disappointed. Why dont you let everyone now that this would happen after the update. Like i said before, the main reason to buy this phone was the illumination function but now it gone(in stamina mode)!

Until they fix it, enable stamina mode and install Illumination Bar

Just another confirm of this bug.

Sony should allow the user select if he/she wants the led notification with stamina mode on AND the number of leds on.

Also with stamina mode off is just the central led the one to blink (quick blink) in firmware 2.254, when .1.257 firm the 3 leds blinked on notification (with nice fade on/off effect, i want this BACK)

Please Sony fix this behaviour in the next update!!
Thanks.

I've found having it in stamina mode doesn't make the battery last any longer anyway. The music player burns the life out of the battery more than watching a film. Strange phone

Guys,
I gave a thought to this particular problem and got a solution. You can download an app named "illumination bar notification" from play store. Customise the settings in it (notification colors, timeout time, frequency) . Now when the stamina mode is activated you add this particular app to be active in standby mode. You will get your notifications in sleep mode even when stamina mode is active. Hope this helps

Thanks,
