thanks for your answer.
but unfortunately, tectiles wants to write the specified tasks onto the nfc-tag. and the tags included are read only.
also, air plane mode isn't available in this app.

thanks for the hint, but it's nearly the same as the preinstalled smart connect. doesn't have airplane-mode too.

Smart Tags app is no longer supported. Sony states that SmartConnect replaced SmartTags app.

Notification LED and Stamina Mode

Hi everyone,
As you might notice, when you have Stamina Mode on you won't get LED notifications on your Xperia Z.
There’s a great app on the Play Store called Light Flow! This app let you personalize every type off notification with a vast set of colors!
The thing is, it only works with Stamina Mode off! Even if I have the application in the white list!
Anyone manage to make LED notifications work with Stamina Mode??

I got a question, how do I access the stamina mode white list?
I can't find it on my Z settings.

Settings > Power management > Stamina mode (Tap on it) instead of just activating it by using the slider

the same part that is responsible for notifications is responsible for showing the led. I don't think this is a service that you can white list. So hopefully Sony will see this as an bug and exempt the notification service from stamina, it they are able to control this independent from the rest of the core os.

No no no.
It doesn't prevent the service.
It prevents other apps from running under the lockscreen so they never receive notifications to show.
Sony have already provided the solution, you can add apps to the white list so that they DO run under the lockscreen (and thereby receive notifications).

with stamina mode switched on an applications in white list? Only for sms and telephone calls or also for whatsapp and email etc?

I used Light Flow on my GSIII and it caused massive battery drain, so I won't be using it on my XZ when it comes tomorrow...

hi nobnut
Thanks for your feedback..
can you please check if the led notification with stamina mode on work also for missed calls and sms?
Do you use some program for manage the led notification? like Ligthflow or others?
Thanks

Do you have LED notification when you receive a SMS with Stamina Mode on?

Notification light turns off in Stamina Mode so anyone claiming it still works is lying - There's no way to use it, hopefully Sony will change this in 4.2.2 but somehow doubt it.

You had better tell that to my device. It must be lying.

No. It works only for my Corporate email account. Not for Gmail.
I've just tested SMS and it doesn't appear to work there.

I tested properly a short while ago.
I hadn't thought twice about this before, as like I said, I receive notifications for my Corporate email account. I don't use this phone for personal use, so I hadn't tested SMS etc.
I tested a few apps earlier after I saw this thread and I can't find any others that trigger the LED notification in stamina mode.
Sorry if I mis-lead people before, I assumed that as it works for my email account, it would work for other apps.
EDIT: I don't use any other apps and am running a totally stock ROM and am not rooted as this is a work supplied device (not my choice of handset).

power
my stamina mode wouldnt work it just said the same hours for wen it was on and off, and i had 2 do a reset to get it working again, any1 else had this problem

I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure mine does work with Stamina Mode on... It turns off with Low Battery Mode turned on though.

Nope check Sony's video on it. Stamina does turn it off for good. It sucks, the mode does nothing for my battery life.

Tasker + Stamina

Does anyone know if it's possible to enable stamina mode with tasker? I'm able to actually run Stamina mode, but running stamina mode doesn't mean enabling it (like most other aps).

Yup, I'm using it too.
It's quite simple, just go to Power Settings, click on the left side of the STAMINA Mode line.
You'll then be moved to STAMINA Mode configuration screen, then click on the fourth line of the settings (with the big "+"), it will allow you to set the Apps which are authorized to take control of the phone under STAMINA Mode.

Thanks, but I think you misunderstood my question.
I don't want to allow Tasker while Stamina is on, I want to turn on Stamina with Tasker.
The setting that you've shown me to is a setting that kind of ignores the Stamina Mode.

Woops
In fact I did misunderstood the whole thing... I did try to find the same thing as you but I couldn't find anything useful.
It may need an extension app (there are many for Tasker on the PlayStore) to allow Tasker to take control of the STAMINA Mode.

I'll take a look @ PlayStore.
I'm surprised that more people aren't looking into the matter, because it would be perfect to automatically enable Stamina from example 11:00PM/23:00 in the evening just before you become least active on your phone and then disable it again around 08:00AM in the morning or something.
:good:

As I said, I did try to find something but even on Stack Overflow, the mere threads I was able to find didn't hold useful informations.
I'll try to squeeze informations about it from a few SONY developpers on SO but I'm not expecting much from them

Tell the Sony Devs (DEMAND IT!) that we also want to enable/disable Stamina Mode based on time and not only on battery percentage!:good::good::highfive:

Surely Tasker can do everything Stamina mode can do in terms of disabling certain features and apps, so why the need to even use Stamina mode? Does it have some secret sauce?!

If rooted I suppose so. I have root and have written 2 stamina mode profiles. Neither of them really deal with deactivating specific apps. One gives connectivity while screen on and one has no connectivity but phone and sms. Both turn things on and sync what I want every 40 minutes. The obsticle with disabling apps is re-enabling them all properly while the screen is off and the keygaurd is on. Its easy to do I guess but occasionally things don't go exactly as planned as you're launching apps then inputting the back key. Is there a better way to do this because I'm not at all ashamed to say that although I use the crap out of Tasker, that there's a lot I don't know... ?

I found an answer
I found a way to toggle STAMINA mode with Tasker.
In Tasker, just create a new task of type "Send Intent". Then in "Action" field, enter :
Code:
com.sonymobile.superstamina.appwidget.TOGGLE_STAMINA_MODE
Then exist Task.
Now, when you enter this Task with a profile, STAMINA mode is toggled on or off. You can check this by adding the STAMINA widget on your home, or by looking at the "+" sign near the battery indicator.
Hope this helps !

For me a workaround was to make sure the app I want notifications from is running, then press the recents button and find the app on the list, then swipe the app down, it will only move a little way then spring back and also obtains a small padlock icon.
You will probably also need to go to the settings menu and find either protected apps or app settings (depends if you are using the Lollipop version or the Marshmallow beta) and enable the setting for the app which makes it stay awake when the phone sleeps.

Thanks so so much. I try this out

You have tomark the app to run in background...
this is no bug it is an energy saving feature.
the device has a stock white list of apps allowed to run in background.
but normally you re asked if an app should be able to run in background or not.
any app that is not allowed to will be closed immediately in standby

Wouldn't you need to root the phone and then use an app like TitaniamBackup to disable it?

Weird auto disabling app issue

Keep having this problem...it just keep auto disabling random apps from time to time.....it's killing me. I enable it...than it got disable some time down the road.
From the attachment...u can see Snapseed and Google pay is being disabled
And Google clock alarm doesn't work despite repeated test....
Can someone advice

are you sure you have not turned on the Eco Mode ? it disables apps to save battery

Use app without installing, it is a feature from Google, not a bug. You choose on playstore to have that

I don't think this is the issue. Be happy to be proven wrong. I have the same issue. Trying to use Google Pay at the checkout when it's been disabled/reset is embarrassing

I am using realme x2. If i'm using any application even system application like settings, etc,.. It automatically comes to the home page. Please resolve this problem.
