[Q] Stamina Mode not working

Got my Xperia Z sim free on Friday. Everything was working fine initially but Stamina Mode just doesn't seem to be working properly now. Don't know if it's a software or hardware problem?
When I press the toggle, the standby time left doesn't change at all? And the figure it gives seem permanently low. I've charged it fully overnight and it says standby time left is 8 hours? That said when I have left it in Stamina Mode its told me on a couple of occasions that certain apps are preventing it from working properly (Google Sync etc) but it'd be nice to know if it was working.
Any ideas?

Some problem here... So probably is a bug on the firmware. On the 4.2.2 probably will be fix

Same problem here was fine on first day then went all odd.

Likewise
I'm also seeing this problem. In addition it appears the Google mail client which was getting mails by push due to it being white listed in the stamina application list have also stopped coming through when the screen is in standby. Be good to see what that the situation is.

Same.... Stamina mode takes a while to update the standby from memory. I
white listed gmail and stopped getting mail. Maybe it's just not that clever or as data is off it can't truly be white listed.

Same as of today.
Standby time has no change with toggle on or off.
Showing 14hrs off full charge.
Cleared everything out of stamina mode & reset defaults on all apps but no change.
Don't fancy doing a factory reset yet so I'll lurk here & see if it gets resolved any other way.

Same here.. But im guessing the stamina mode takes the avg time of our usage too, being a new toy we use it alot.. Hence the total time is from our usage... Only my humble opinion thou

My stamina mode seems to be working again. Yesterday it stopped and would show the same figure regardless of whether on or off. Woke up this morning, now on 75% it's showing 15hours on, 8 hours off. But nowhere near the 4 days I was getting on 90% when I first got it.

No issues here with stamina mode. I'm not sure yet if it makes a difference, but at least it's working

Stamina Mode is buggy as hell, done a few tests and with it on my mail doesnt come through even though its white-listed. It only stops notifications coming though, it doesnt turn the data off like it says it does. Hope 4.2 fixes these problems.

My stamina mode seems to be working again, bugy things :highfive:

Same here. I also have Exchange (Hotmail push) that is "preventing stamina mode from saving power"
Does anyone know whats going on here with this notification?
I didnt quite get the idea of Stamina.
Was it supposed to disable data when screen off?
or just prevent apps from using data but keeps the data connection alive?

Something is seriously wrong with this software!
I have already made a reset and a repair of the phone and everytime the result is the same...
In the first couple of days stamina is working right, after the second day (third day at the most), it stops working!
Anyone knows how to fix it?

I've thought I was the only one having this kind of issue... Well the same thing happened to me. The strange fact was, that stamina mode stopped worked after I've rooted the device. I was thinking the r00t made the stamina mode doesn't work. I guess I was wrong... Stamina mode was the coolest feature on this phone - it will be sad if we can't use it

Out of the box my stamina mode was showing 30+ hours on & 20+ off.
2 weeks later it's now showing 18 on & 12 off on a full charge.
F***ing thing!

.
Guys, you should try the Sony Update Service software - it helped me.
I got 20hrs. on average and Stamina mode not working, also that fast discharging with not entering Deep Sleep. All is fixed now when I have just re-flashed the stock ROM. (May be the Stock ROM downloaded through the Sony Update Service is somehow modified and not the same version I had on the phone initially).

how to fix the xperia z stamina mode
1.switch On the stamina mode and low battery mode
2.Connect the charger and charge your Xperia Z
3.Wait until it reach 100%
4.Check the stamina mode .....
It's happen for me.......:good:

Problem with stamina mode.

Hello guys. Stamina mode doesn't seem to work efficiently for me because back to the days when I just received my new phone, it was like 3+ days of standby time. But now it doesn't do anything , in best case scenario stamina mode adds no more than 2 hours of stand time according to battery usage stats. I was told that stamina mode increases standby mode by at least 3 times of normal. What is the problem?

Maybe the battery has worn out?

Its a bug and the time it states is untrue.

my phone (434 fw) shows similar behavior...
at first, when i activated stamina mode ... it added like 24h to the estimated standby.
but now... nothing.
but i think it still does its job (shutting down wifi and all that) just doesn't show it
once i had a notification, that gmail would prevent stamina mode from working correctly...
I switched to the other email application then... don't know if it changes anything.
but still battery stamina is very OK...
love this phone!

I believe it automatically adjusts the time remaining according to your usage.

Stamina Mode is only affected by Reception, and apps installed/whitelisted. If it says 16 hours when you unplug the phone and the same when you turn stamina Mode off this is obviously wrong, the time calculated is meant to be standby time.

yes, because of stamina mode, it turn data off and everything off, this also assume you dont touch your phone for 6 days. Nothing amazing about that, any phone can do it...turn off mobile data and leave it alone, it enter sleep state of the cpu, using the least ammount of power.

it's an estimation....based on your usage...thats all it is, no other way...did you think your battery magically grew 30%?

Some people even got an estimation of 8 days +
It's just an estimation that's never been correct for me, so even if it showed 99 days I wouldn't really care.

Some people are dumb enough to not know its just a logical estimation based on your usage and provide the phone is left alone for the specified amount of estimated time.

I also don't care what that no.shows.. I just wanted to know how did increase all of a sudden..n I have a request to all those dumb ass people who think of others as dumbs, plz don't act as of u r extra smart..LOL..

If you leave your phone for 2 days without using it,the estimated time will be more.
And if in 1 day you use your phone a lot than the estimated time will be less.
Hope you understand the facts

Hello, Stamina Mode is like a self-learning program that estimate times based on your daily usage, and how u used your phone. And the phone will changes its standby time. Mine sometimes show 12Days 3hours. The Numbers changes by time passes, but no worry it works in .350 Firmware. .434 i'm not sure about it, since i skipped it and updated to .253 FW, and then i downgraded back to .350 FW
BUT, you dont have to worry about those estimated time. By Default stamina mode on, it will show 4Days 21Hours. Sometimes its calculation may be corrupted. To fix temporarily, you can go Settings>Apps>All, find
a) Eco Mode Controller, or
b) Extended Standby Mode
Force stop it, clear data, and make hard reboot (Vol Up+ Power Button to restart) , i wont use 'hard reset' term, since this reboot WILL NOT WIPE DATA.
Then u will see estimated time by Default.
If permanent fix on estimated time, u may update via OTA or PC COmpanion to update ur phone to 10.1.1.A.1.253 FW. This update mentioned to make:
1.Screen Display Darker indeed (but i dont like it somehow)
2. White Balance (color calibration) (i wonder why i need it)
3. Camera Normal = Burst Mode quality since some of us proved that Burst Mode pic is nicer
4. Stamina Mode Time Fix (but frankly not for me, since i see 2% dropped in first 2hours i boot, then stabilizes. I prefer .350 FW due i less use my Z heavily, just normal messaging and phone calls, which 350 suits me)
5. Navigation Bar changed grey to black
6.Battery Life seems better than .434 (from few ppl claimed it's true)
Hope this info helps.:laugh:

Thanks a lot for these details.. Actually some ppl here seemed to have some misunderstanding as if I am a noob or dumb (as mentioned by some extra smart person in previous posts.. LOL) I am never worried about the time showed.. its just an estimation I know.. I was just amazed to see that it crossed 4D 21hrs and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced the same.. I came to know that this has been experienced by some other ppl also...
Anyway, thanks Whitefang for ur detailed reply..

lol are you still going on about this? I told you its an estimation...why make a big deal out of it...your battery dint grow 20% over night k? this shouldnt have gone to the second page.

Also, standby time depends on signal stenght, so, maybe stamina calculates standby time with current signal conditions.

[Q] Fast battery drain (flight mode)

Please, help me.
My phone's battery drains 1% per 1 hour. I activated STAMINA mode, turn off mobile data, GPS, Wi-fi and another. Turn on flight mode but battery drains very fast. Is it hardware problem? I'm absolutely sure that it isn't any app can drain. Can you help me? What can i do?

1% per hour isnt nothing to worry about tbh, thats technically speaking 100 hours of standby. I really wouldnt worry to much mate,
If not happy though, try restoring your phone though pc companion or flash tool.

The percentage shown isn't completely correct I guess. Sometimes my battery does drain faster than other times and otherwise. But I never had it add 30 percent... That does seem incorrect.

brother its nthg to wory about as i said before,,
when u turn on stamina mode nd ur screen turn of most of time thn the stamina mode drains ur bettry very low,bcoz the rest of the app stoped by the stamina mode,thn u strt using the phone ur bettry drained according to the usage...
the time showed in setting<power managment is just an estimated stand by time nd it will reduce and set according to ur use with the pasge of time,,,so if u get 15 to 20 hrz betry bakup with whats app,fb massanger,games,some calls...thn ur bettry is perfct.
nd its true some time when u heavy use lik playing games thn stop using cell for a while its shows upword movment of bettry bar...but 30% is not norml,,,

Maybe it's a hardware problem and i must go to Sony Center?

Do not reflash stock ROM it is a waste of time.

Reboot your phone. The data of the Eco mode is messed up so it is a waste of time to reflash stock rom and lose all your data

Don't mind the estimate. If I switch on Stamina Mode it shows 11 days (!!!) and when switch off shows 6 hours(!!!)....
Use your phone for everything as much as you can (instead of looking at it ) and if phone is new give it a week or several charge cycles.

Well, it showed me 11 days when Stamina Mode was ON. When switched FF showed 6 hours. But I had issues with my phone (very fast battery drain, extreme overheating), so cleared Eco mode data, and disabled/uninstall few apps. And now, when turn ON Stamina it shows 1 day 10 hours (example), so looks its back to "normal" . I think something was messed up in the system as now phone performs perfectly. Better than my previous phone, the mighty S3 LTE.
And I have to admit, I didn't like Sony (had only SE X10 which was a disaster), but this SP impressed me so much, that I ordered Z1 as well.
It's a good experience and refreshment from Samsung

A yeah, will stick with with Sony for a while. At least until Samsung S5 is out. Then will see ...
And btw, the Snapdragon Guru app does a good job as well.
Also I find out that AV's and task killers doing more harm than good.
Disabled most useless apps (GAPPS,FB,Whatsapp etc) and I am really happy with my SP now.
One thing did a magic : in the Settings I switched Off Animation, Transition and one more thing and phone performs absolute perfectly.
