[Q] stamine mode not reccomended??! - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Titanium Backup scheduled to do over night backups + Circle Alarm (for alarms on 5.45 am and 7.00am) + easy Reminder (for reminding me about missed calls). When phone in Stamina mode, none of them works - they start working (I mean starts backup, reminds me etc) only when screen goes on .So, what's the use of stamina if no alarm works, no reminder and so on? It's a dead phone....

Hey ,
You should add these apps you mentioned in to STAMINA "Apps active in standby", by pressing on STAMINA MODE in Power management. After that they should work as you want.

How does push email work when stamina mode is enabled? Or will it not work? I've added email and exchange services to the white list, but if wifi and data isn't working, then....?

With Stamina mode the following apps/features will work:
Phone calls
SMS/MMS
Sony Calendar notification (stock calendar)
Sony alarm signal (stock clock)
Music player (Walkman)
FM radio
Downloads and uploads in the progress are allowed to finish
+ you can add the application that you are willing to keep alive, just tap the "STAMINA mode" option and select an app.

[Q] Text Message / Screen on

Any way to make the screen turn on for a few seconds when a text comes through? Its pretty stupid that in Stamina Mode the notification light doesn't work so you got no way of knowing if you've received a text without looking. (I know its not hard to look but least the screen should pop on when a text is received)
Well you can make it work if you checked the the messaging and phone in stamina mode and look for the settings that will enable led flashers it have to be a setting app that can be toggled in the stamina mode

[Q] Disable Gmail Light Notification??

How can i disable the Gmail notification light in XperiaSP without disabling the notification text info themselves for new emails?
I tried using the Illumination Bar app to disable it, but no luck.
Also, does anyone know if the other newer Xperia models give more items in the "Light Effects" section, because it would be really good if Gmail/email existed there so you could disable it, but unfortunately it's very lacking at the moment with only call, text and alarm settings.
Maybe enable the Stamina Mode and then tick all those apps you want to be active in standby, (dont tick Gmail then)

[Q] Downtime, Priority Mode, Sleep Mode with Moto Assist in Lollipop

Hey guys,
I don't own a Motorola device running Lollipop, but I'm curious as to how Moto Assist handles the Priority Mode in Lollipop.
If I'm not mistaken, in KitKat, Assist's 'Sleep Mode' will switch the phone into Silent Mode, depending on the time you've set. Also, you get the option for certain contacts to be able to get to you while the Sleep Mode is on (with the choice of None, Starred Contacts, Everyone in your phone book). I can't remember if there's the option to let Messages from the white-listed contacts to ring during Sleep Mode period, or even an auto-reply for all calls/text rejected during Sleep Mode.
I'm curious… how does Moto Assist handle this Priority Mode/None/All found in Lollipop?
If I'm not mistaken, if you've set Sleep Mode in Assist, it will turn on Priority Mode. Are you limited to the same options, as to how Contacts white-listing are handled (choice of None, Starred and Everyone?). Does Assist offer a more granular control or finer tuning in comparison to the native Interruption settings? Is Assist not a replacement for the native Priority Mode, and it only acts as something that turns on Priority Mode (separate from the native Downtime setting)
Setting up Meeting Mode, will also turn on Priority Mode. Is the Auto-Reply feature still there? Same with the above point on whitelisting contacts/notification types.
Is this conflicting with Android's own/built-in settings in Settings > Sounds and notifications > Interruption. Particularly the type of notifications that are let through (Calls, Messages, Alarms), and which contacts are being let through? (None, Starred Contacts Only, Everyone)
I guess if you can upload screenshots/video how Assist looks in L, that would help answer some of the questions I have!
Thanks!
OK, sleep is the same as no calls (although, I seem to remember it will ring if a favourite calls you more than once in quick succession).
Meeting is none or favourites for auto reply.
Is it conflicting? No. Works fine.

Silent app

guys
Llama on my nexus 6 doesn't work and silent mode just doesn't keep the phone silent. Any other app that does this or has anybody used a blocking mode app that works for them? Root call blocker changes the whole interface of the dialing application and I don't like that part
Thx

Lollipop has no proper silent mode. If you don't want notification, just press volume rocker and choose "none" or if you want notification from any selected app, choose "priority". Proper silent mode will be added on 5.1
There is an xposed module that allows true silent mode (Allows alarms, unlike "none")
The app "Power Toggles" has a "Sound Toggle" widget you can set up to get the old silent mode back. You will still see the star icon in the status bar but the phone behaves the same as the old silent mode. Basically the toggle toggles between "None", "Old Silent Mode", "Priority" and "All".

I just set up a 1x1 Sound Toggle and stick it on my main home screen.
I also use this app to force the phone into immersive mode using a toggle for games that don't hide the nav buttons.(You lose keyboard support with it on though)

App notifications

For some reason I am not getting notifications from one app except one time last night. it's enabled within the app and when I go to settings >> app >> notifications, everything is turned on. is there another setting somewhere I'm missing?
Anyone has any idea how to solve it? tried reinstalling, deleting app cache, deleting partition cache, but nothing helped.
YouTube Vanced is doing that to me
It's frustrating and I also noticed gmail doesn't always alert me of a new e-mail when the screen is off, even now I used the phone and gmail notification doesn't show at all. what is happening with this phone? never had this problem before.
GMail has been flaky for me on some other devices before.
I wonder if it's Samsung's "put apps to sleep" feature that's causing some of this.
I noticed the same thing after switching back from energy saving mode to optimized mode.
On the energy saving mode I only reduced the CPU speed but still no notifications, so I went back to the optimized mode.
Just checked the sleeping apps and my problematic apps aren't listed there.
I'm always on "optimized" power mode since I got it, I even put them in 'apps not optimized' but it changed nothing.
it's bad enough there's no notification LED but not being alerted when there's something new is a downgrade for me.
Since its on topic, any way to stop the stock messaging app from waking the screen with its notifications?

Try going to Settings >> apps >> messages >> new messages >> click on 'lock screen' & select 'don't show notifications'. do the same with 'General notifications' and see if it works.
I've found Pie very intermittent with app notifications count badges, from S9 beta to S10 now

I hope they fix it if it really is pie, the problem is I'm not getting ANY notifications from one specific app and I should be getting many a day.
I am having the same issue, hoping for a fix.

that stops the notifications from showing on the lock screen all together.
back on thread here - I was only receiving gmail notifications in batches and only when i'd wake the screen and unlock the phone. I turned off battery optimization and it seems to have corrected itself. Any app that you are not getting notifications for, make sure they are not being battery optimized.

Oh you mean like whatsapp messages wake up the screen, no idea how to change it to get a notification without the screen.
Yes I already tried placing these apps in the 'not optimized' list but it didn't change anything. gmail is still random & the other completely mute.

That thing to turn off battery optimization doesn't do a thing. Have never worked for any Androids I've had. It doesn't give instant notifications for apps not being optimized and the battery is not becoming any better if every damn app is being optimized either. I don't understand why the setting is there if it doesn't do a thing.
Does anyone face the issue that WhatsApp calls do not turn on the screen when screen is off? When I receive a WhatsApp call, I hear the ringtone, but the screen remains off, once I double tap to wake up the screen, I see the WhatsApp incoming call interface. Normally, incoming WhatsApp calls automatically turn on the screen and show the incoming call interface...
