So the thing is i recently rooted the mobile
so i flashed an older kernel then flashed the current kernel
then i had that update notification
so i though that i updated the phone before (very similar numbers .245 to .254 )
so i flashed the recent kernel of .254 then the stamina mode isnt working and the battery is being drained like hell !
so i tried now to flash the .245 kernel and still im facing the same problem and i really need Stamina mode its vital for me !

Then update and try with 2.254
It should work no matter what..

Same problem with battery drain/stamina mode being useless. Don't expect any easy fix, I've been trying for weeks.

Dude seriously thanks for the hope
i bought this phone only because of stamina mode !

From what I can understand about the comments in here is the following:
- Stamina mode does not turn on properly
- Stamina does not function properly
First of all; Stamina mode only works when you have your SCREEN OFF... This has been stated many many times and only Serves as a (cheap version of) Juice Defender to prevent pointless sync on background.
Sometimes the Estimated time of Stand-by is false (or stays the same) when it has been enabled or disabled. This can be solved by removing its data via Settings > Apps > all > Eco mode controller > Force Stop > Clear data and reboot..
After reboot you need to enable it again and set it the way you want.

I think the only hope is sony's 4.3 update or custom rom
Also try uninstall google+. This made my standby battery alot better (even though battery stats show google+ wasn't the problem :/) But the drain comes back right after updating any app on Play Store. This makes no sense but I've been able to replicate it 3 times in a row. I've tried so many other things without success, completely given up now and just waiting for the new update.

I tried this and still the staminy mode isnt working
when you turn on the stamina mode it changes the amount of standby hours you have
when i do turn it on nothing happens and the battery drain is tremendous
so i just wanted to ask
why i cant update the mobile from OTA or PC companion(keeps downloading for years and gets stuck at 99%)
and can i flash a stock rom and still have all my apps and data ?

Trying to fix the stamina estimate is a waste of time. I did this and it says standby time 4 days (I've even been able to get it say 9 days on one of the rare occasions my battery issues were gone)
I said to myself wow 4 days standby, good job mr.stamina. So I left my phone standby for 24 hours, checked it and down to 3%. Total screen on time of 5 minutes.
Also I don't think our problem is gtalk_conn. When I've been able to get good standby time there is still a very large amount of gtalk_conn wakelocks.

Problems with notifications LED

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.

Many thanks!! I hope that Android 4.2 update fix the problem, but at the moment I will try to reset...

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.

[Q] With Stamina mode on, what do I set WiFi as?

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

Have you left Stamina mode activated for a while? After a while it told me what's app was causing wakeups that were preventing Stamina mode from working properly.

go to settings>apps>All> then look for extended standby mode control and Double tap.
press Force stop and Clear data
Restart your phone and the stamina mode should work again.
I am unable to find that app

The app's name is: Eco Mode controller
There is no point in clearing the data. Stamina mode is working for you. After a while it collects data about your usage style and give you the approximate time remaining if you continue to use it in the same way.
Clearing the data will erase all statistic and your phone will show default standby time

E: just temporarely...
i think this problem is in the .205 update itself because im on custom rom stock based .205 and experience the same issue too.. when i did the factory reset it solved the issue temporarily, now the issue comes back again..
i have had the same issue on my xperia p with custom rom. additionally to the here explained wipe of ecomode data, stop it and reboot,
I had to wipe the superstamina from dalvik cache before reboot. After that all together, it starts working well for me

Mmm, never heard of this issue before. My kitkat is running fine in stamina mode. Did you try to reset or reflash? Not sure that 4.3 stamina files will fix your problem.

If you have recoveries installed you can try factory resetting from there...
Or else if are not bored enough you can repair using PC Companion BUT you will lose root...
