Turn off notifications sounds at night? (Z3)

tux182 — Thu, 01 Jan 2015 22:12:51 GMT

Hi All

I am a new proud owner of a Z3, I love it!

Well apart from this....

I get woken up at night with Facebook notifications, emails and such buzzing and bleeping in the night.

I cannot turn my phone on silent as i'm on-call for my job and need my phone to ring in the night if someone calls.

I used to have a Samsung Glaxy S3 before this, it had a feature (i forget the name) and worked great. I wrongly presumed this was a blanket feature for Android phones...

After googling i've noticed some people favour 3rd party apps. But cmon Sony - surely i cant be the only one suffering?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

You can disable mobile data/wifi during the night so that facebook doesn't bother you.

Smartconnect - Surely that turns off all sounds rather than just notifications?

You mean manually every night? Or is there an automated way to set this up?

Smart connect has night mode which can disable data over night.
