Notification behaviour regressions in Xperia X Software

[paul4os]

Hello,

I have an Xperia X, Build 34.2.A.2.69 Android 7.0 and have upgraded from an Xperia Z3 on Android 6.1.

I have noticed that there have been software changes to notification functionality which I do not like. 

Firstly, I notice that when the phone is charging the phone charging indication light takes priority over notification lights. I do not like this change in behaviour as I preferred priority to be given to notifications - now I may miss a notification when charging.

Secondly, I dislike that I now get a notification when my battery reaches 30%. I find this a distraction and unnecessary; there also seems to be no way to turn it off.

Have you tried to switch notification light on from settings >notification >settings icon on the top right of the screen >configure notifications >notification light (switch it on). 

You can also try to decrease stamina mode level to 20% from settings >battery >stamina mode> auto stamina mode 20%

Yes, my notification light is enabled in the settings. My issue is that there have been intentional software changes to the notification behaviour since the Z3 that I do not like. I would like to revert to the Z3 behaviour, or at least have a configuration option to control the notification behaviour.

The notification light behaviour has been fixed in more recent versions of the Xperia X firmware. Thanks!
