I got a notification earlier saying something about MyXperia stopping STAMINA mode, but not all of the text was visible. But when I clicked on it to find out what it was going on about, it just opened MyXperia settings. I don't know if it is affecting stamina mode, and moreover I think it is, because I'm getting WIFI push notifications that I wouldn't if my wifi was off when my screen is off.

Are you sure that was all that was said? Maybe it was something alongside those lines: "[app_name] is preventing STAMINA mode from saving power in standby."? Some apps need constant wifi connection to pull data so that you are always up to date which kinda kills the purpose of stamina but stamina should overrule them. I suggest you use Greenify, it goes well with stamina.
If the "error" you got is same as i quoted, I also encountered it. After that i forced stopped the app at fault, waited - didnt get the error. After a reset i also didnt get the error. I just assumed that was a one time thing.
Does the thing you describe happen often or did you see it once?

Yeah it was exactly as you described,
Yeah I also Force Stopped my xperia, and turned it off too, and it seems to be fine now. I wouldn't mind being able to turn it back on but with Android Device Manager doing the same thing, I'm a little more okay with it.

"Yeah I also Force Stopped my xperia"
What do you mean? Im afraid I dont follow. To force stop means to kill an app thus i dont understand what did you kill exactly? Do you mean you reset your phone or...?
Anyway, I hope you got your problem solved. If not, be more, much more specific next time. The devil is in the details, so if you are asking for help provide as many as you can, it help people to help you.

On my Xperia Z the notifications LED doesn't turn on. It only appears in orange while charging, but not with notifications and neither with using LightFlow...
Anyone has detected this problem? Any solution?
It's a bug, Sony are aware of it and should be fixed soon. A full factory reset can fix the problem.

Same here.
I don't know why people keep talking about the Stamina mode, it's know that the LED doesn't work for many people, with and without Stamina mode.
And like I said, I also had to do a factory reset TWICE until it worked for me.
But I would also suggest when setting up the phone for the first time, not to sync, but to install everything manually, like wifi and installing apps.
After that is done you can sync, should work after all that.

You saying that the notification light is working for you 'in Stamina Mode' ? - It only works for me when SM is off.
I reset my Xperia Z once and the LED works perfectly...

I don't think that's what he is saying. People ASSUME that when people complain about LED not working, they automatically think that the person complaining is using stamina mode. We all know that when in stamina mode the LEDs are switched off to save battery. But some handsets have a problem where LEDs are not working even when stamina mode is switched off. To fix that we had to do factory reset and still some peoples handsets are still not working.
I also found that my LED does not work for notifications, first thing Sony said was to disable Stamina Mode, well unfortunately that was already disabled, so what else could it be?
I guess it is a bug, because factory resetting twice my phone the LED still did not work, sadly.

Turn off stamina mode and restart your phone.I got mine working this way without any factory reset .
I have one query for notification LED.
MY notification LED works for SMS, EMAIL.
but I am using "talk" application to google chat, on your phone does it shows notification for newly received reply.
Mine it's not showing any notification. Wanted to confirm before I do factory reset, since phone is fully configured.
Hey guys, apologies if this has already been queried, I look around first and couldnt find another thread about it, just similar topics.
I recently got the Xperia Z and I've got the Stamina mode turned on. As I have unlimited data, I always leave my data turned on and I have switched on the the location based WIFI so that my phone can auto switch to WIFI when Im somewhere that I have successfully connected to before.
My question is though, to get the benefit of all this battery saving modes, in the WIFI settings where it says 'Keep on during sleep' should I turn that to 'Only when plugged in/Never' or can I leave it set as 'Always' cause of having Stamina mode on? Or does the Stamina mode only turn my mobile data on/off?
Thanks for any and all help guy.

For my device, the Wifi setting bypasses the Stamina mode...if you really want to save power...put the wifi on never setting.
Thanks chefnoob,
when you say bypass, you mean that it doesn't turn off WiFi for your device, only mobile data? Sorry to sound like such a noob. I have set it to 'Only when plugged in' as whenever its plugged in, it is charging, so I don't worry about power saving during this time.
Have you, or anyone else, come across problems with Whatsapp being a huge battery drain? Stamina mode had notified me that Whatsapp was preventing it from fully working, but it was only when i finally decided to check in my battery usage that i realized it was using as much as 75% of my battery :/. Tried force stopping it, but then It stops you from receiving messages until you decide to open the app again.
I am hoping that it gets fixed in an update soon, if not I may have to uninstall.
Thanks again. Gaz
You'll save more power by keeping your wifi always on.
I beg to differ.

mengsuan - But that would mean all the time my phone is locked it will still be connected/trying to connect to WiFi, where as if I have my WiFi set to one of the other two, like the mobile data in stamina mode, it will be temporarily turned off until unlock my phone again. Surely the latter would be more power saving, having mobile and WiFi disable themselves whenever the device goes into sleep?

Yes, meaning that even if I had the stamina mode on... If the WiFi is set to always, the WiFi still connects...
Dont quote me on this but I think stamina mode only works with data.

Yes, that is correct...
Also, if you set WiFi to "always" and you are not connected to a network, it uses up more power to seek for networks...
With your whatsapp problem, I think you have a conflict happening...
Maybe you got the whatsapp set to sync regularly while you have stamina mode on. What happens is, whatsapp tries to connect/sync but it cant due to stamina mode. Try this work around...
If you want to keep using whatsapp, add it to the exemption list in stamina mode. That way, it wont block it.
If you dont really need whatsapp, just disable it...you'll save more power using the latter.

Oh right, thanks chefnoob
In regards to the WiFi, I have set it to 'Only when plugged in' as I dont mind it being on more whilst my device is charging. When I unlock my device and I'm in range of one of my 'location based Wifi'' spots, it doesn't take very long to connect so that I can use that rather than mobile data.
As for Whatsapp, I don't really use it a huge amount, but I'm not fully decided on whether I want to uninstall yet haha, so my 'kind of' fix for now is to go on to read/reply to a message from someone, then if I expect a quick reply back leave it for a few minutes, if not I just force stop the app and check it again later on. A tedious job just to use an app, i know, but at the moment its my main method of contact with one of my friends, so I will need to find a new way before uninstalling.
Thanks anyway though, to you all, for help in answering my question and clearing it all up for me

Hey there.
I have an issue with stamina mode. Now, before, I know it worked by "disabling" any traffic from data or wifi while screen is off, by delaying them until screen gets turned on (right?). This kinda worked and adding apps to the exception list also worked. But now, its like even without any apps on exception list, I get all notifications right away. Ive even made testing with myself from other phones etc.
Ive tried clearing the data and cache off eco mode controller but to no different result. Have I accidentally changed something, somewhere else in my ROM?
Hoping for some suggestions and pleeeease no "do a factory reset", that's simply not giving actual help.
what rom you using?
have you tried turning stamina mode off and on again?

Yes.
OK say I have paired it with a Sony Xperia Z1 compact.
As soon as the screen turns off it loses connection with the phone. It still thinks it's connected (there is no cloud with a line through it on the watch face screen) and when you say ok google it tries to interpret but then I get the screen that says
disconnected and to the right is a little icon of a cloud with a line through it and underneath there are options for built-in functions like "show my steps", show me my heart rate" , etc
If I manually disconnect and reconnect using the Android Wear app on the phone it works again straight away.
Anyone else seeing this behaviour?
I had that problem right at the start. Can't remember how I fixed it
Restart both devices? Uninstall and reinstall wear app on phone? Update to latest watch firmware?
Do you have stamina activated which us turning your Bluetooth off on screen off?

Hey that could be it. I do have stamina enabled because the battery in my phone is going down rapidly with the watch connected. I'll turn stamina off and see what happens. Cheers!
EDIT: I think this might be fixed now after turning off stamina mode. I'll need to test furtehr thugh. Thanks skitty
I'm still getting this quite a bit. Is anyone else still experiencing random bluetooth disconnects? It still thinks that they're connected until I try to do a google now search and then it tells me they're disconnected. I tried uninstalling the wear app on the phone and reinstalling. I also cycled bluetooth and that seems to fix it in the short term. Suggestions?

I'm pretty sure, for me, the answer was to disable stamina mode on my xperia phone. I very very rarely see the disconnected message any more.
Cycling BT also used to help for me but all that was doing was temporarily foxing the stamina setting. It always switched itself off again.
I'm having the same issues, here's my post in the general android wear help forum
"So I've searched around a bit and not really found anyone else having this issue... Is it just me or is no one complaining?
The Bluetooth connection shows to be solid on the phone "connected, running sync loop" shows in the notification bar and the little connection lost cloud is not displayed on the watch.
However, notifications will not push and if I try to initiate a voice command it spins for while and then tells me that it is "unable to reach the Google server" turning Bluetooth on and then back off will rectify the issue temporarily. And... To make things more complicated it will randomly happen a lot one day and hardly at all another day ( of course it always acts up when someone starts asking questions about the watch and wants a demo, which in turn makes you look like a gullable early adopting fool.)
I'm currently using a gear live with a nexus 5 running the latest stable build of cm11. Ive also tested with and without WiFi enabled, because I thought I noticed a correlation but there seems to be none.
Is it me? Am I doing something wrong?"
I have also tried running stock faces vs custom with no change
hasn't happened since 9:00 this morning.. today... yesterday I missed almost every notification
disconnect
Not sure if this is related or if anyone can give advice but for me (HTC one max) whenever my Samsung gear live is disconnected from phone...phone randomly restarts all by itself. Tried factory reset, was fine until I set it up again. Made sure android wear was off...just tried turning off Google now see if that helps.... Anyone else experiencing the restarts? Sorry on phone so messy post...
Woah sorry i forgot about this post. My issue was the stock kernal for cm11. When i switched to another kernal, my issue vanished.
I am having the issue where if my phone is asleep I cant do any searches. Now I know or at least I'm pretty sure that its not the watch or the app but something on the phone. Phone is a galaxy note 3 sprint version running temasek's unofficial cm12 rom. The watch is stock of course. When I get a notification the watch will happily wake up and tell me about it, but when I try to tell the watch a command with the phone sleeping is where the problem presents itself. The issue appeared after a few of the rom updates (happens even with a clean install) and I know he's a busy guy (temasek) but I would like to see if anyone here could help me figure it out to be able to provide a solution to others that are having my same issue. Any and all help is appreciated.
Hi guys,
Has anyone had any problems with whatsapp on our phone? The app seems to get killed somehow when the phone goes to sleep, so I don't receive any messages until I open it up. I've not got any powersaver modes running and background data is allowed etc etc, it's getting very annoying and i'm sure the phone is killing a background process but can't work out how to fix it.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers
I had a similar issue with hangouts but I cleared cache and data and it worked again. maybe give this a shot for whatsapp
Sent from my D5803
No problem at all.
I use stamina mode all the time, excluding Gmail, Whatsapp, Timely and Cerberus, and I receive emails and messages.
My firmware version is 23.0.A.2.98
I have stamina mode activated all the time but whatsapp works great
Thanks for your replies, i don't what the problem is. The same thing happens if i am in stamina mode (with the app whitelisted) or not in stamina mode.
I have tried re-installing, clearing cache and data etc but the problem perists. I guess i will have to ask the app developers, presumably they will blame the phone

When you notice it start happening, check the "running apps" in settings. Do most of them show "restarting" etc? I think I have the same issue. It looks like a memory leak on my side.
I've seen similar to this but I think it might also be related to when other people have a connection. My wife has issues with her work wifi and sometimes I only get her messages once she's back on our home network. I see the time stamp in whatsapp as the time she originally wrote the message...
Thanks - will check that next time i see it happening, it doesn't look like it has restarted recently but possibly was "pausing". I've restarted my phone now so all processes are on the same clock so i can spot any breaks easier next time

Cheers but seems not likely as messages from multiple contacts appear at the same time when i open the app, so the problem must be on my end
Quick update, i've had the problem happen again and checked the running apps, there was no pause happening. Even this morning on the train i was looking at the internet, so my phone was connected to data and obviously not asleep and i got no messages. Later on, i opened the app and a message appeared, sent at the time i was looking at the internet. I'm flummoxed. Will raise a support call and update if i have any luck
