smart led

dear sony and customers.
İ have an idea.
My xperia sp's led light goes green when charge reach %90.
when charge reaches %100 it still green.
I cant understand the difference.
My idea:
When phones charge %100 led light should blink or change its color.

That's normal behavior, once it reach 90%-100% the LED will turn green, once it reach 100% the screen will turn on for few seconds.

it's not enough.
When charge reachs %100 phone should give clear signal.
sony can do this with simple software update.
I dont want to check the phone constantly.
When led turns green charge may be %90,%93,%98 or 100.
how can i know the exact percentage.
i want this:
when charge %0-89 red light, %90-99 green light, %100 teal light or different color.
sony should add this feature

You can use 3rd party apps

Light flow and illumination bar

i installed these apps.
But there is a problem.
I installed third party app and i assigned specific color for full battery, but when battery reached 100 led light was still green.
I look options/led lights and there is no option to change full battery color.
3. parts app works like this:
First you have to close normal led light color.
Than you should enter 3. party app and assign different color.
For example if you want to change message led color with 3. party app.
First you should close notification color from default options menu.
Then you can select different color from third party app.
In default options menu you can not select full battery led color.
but it fixed green color.

On STAMINA MODE

0% - 89% > Red light.
90% - 99% > Green light.
100% > the light goes OFF automatically.

for example lets focus missing calls.
You have default led light options and you have a third party app.
If you chose red color from default menu and you chose purple from third party app they overlap. In this situation led light's color will be red.
You have to chose none color from default menu than you chose purple from third party app and it works as you wish.
But in my situation.
I cant chose none color in default menu. Becasue there is no option for full battery color.

i think sony should give us this option.
3. part apps dont work properly and third party app means ram consumption.

@ Antonidas

Lol you're so complicated. Just turn on the STAMINA MODE when you charge your phone, so you will notice when it's full.

All I want and the most important is Sony fixes the bugs, especially the grainy and blurry camera on Z1 and SP.

@ Antonidas

That's odd, man. Mine automatically goes off when it's full. I don't have any third party app installed on my phone.

What do you mean by "open stamina mode". You open it on Settings and then charge the phone??

I just tap the Stamina Mode on the notification/bar panel. I don't use Stamina Mode widget. Widgets drain so much battery.

Stamina mode is a feature from Sony to help you save battery.

And the first user guide was saying if the led is green then the phone is fully charged. So for the first charges I was really surprised and sad that my battery was going to %90 right after unplugging. Then thankfully I realised the fact. I think a sound would be better to notify full charge. Also, I miss the breathing effect of the all three leds when I first got the phone. To add to that phone has 3 seperate leds and when a mix of notifications come, only the first one's color shows. They could have utilized other leds for different notifications or flash different colors in every blink... Costomized effects would have been good, too, like they advertised, like different blink rates or sequential blinks etc. But Sony is not even capable of delivering a smooth update for this phone let alone customizations like this. You got playstore right?

antonidas — Wed, 07 May 2014 22:09:29 GMT

sound as warning is another good idea.
This can be an option.
also my suggestion can be an option.
xperia sp's special feature is led light.
you can communicate with lights and colors.
i think sp's light can be more smart. On charge:
%0-89 red, %90-99 green, %100 purple for example.
with smarts lights phone can more communicate with user.
It is also good for deaf people.
In smart phone market sometimes small software updates make big difference.
xperia sp is the best phone among led light focus phones.

Logically... you CAN'T keep the batt on 100% level when the phone machine is still working. It keeps searching the network and collecting data, etc. It still drains the batt power. Unless you charge your phone on OFF position.

Purple light for fully charged???? Are you serious???????

Red light (Lower), Yellow light (Half), and Blue/Green light (Full) are international standards to indicate the power level of the battery.

I don't use Red and Green for Incoming calls/texst and missed calls/unread messages. Because I don't wanna get confused by the LED colors when I charge my phone.

light manager app solved my problem.
i saw it on sony select and it works perfect.
you can set light %0-99 red and %100 green or another color. I set yellow for example.
