Having no service can exhuast your battery quickly if left untreated. AutoAirplaneMode is a very simple tool to control Airplane Mode on your mobile device. By detecting the strength of the signal, this tool will automatically turn on Airplane Mode when there is no service or when signal is low, resulting in less time constantly searching for signal which drains the battery.

Great app but...
I was looking for exactly this app except I was looking for one that automatically changed to airplane/flight mode when the device hits low battery. Basically, the user can define when airplane mode comes on depending on the battery percentage. For me this is the biggest problem; needing my phone but realizing that it's fully drained. This way, with airplane mode on, I might miss some calls but at least I'll always be able to make out going calls when needed. Maybe something to consider adding in future iterations.
dont work - recovery wifi
Any plans for 4.3 support? This app is exactly what I want.
Me too. Please update.
Any pros on the subject here? There's very little in the way of docs or anything; I've figured out the basics, but it's not working as I want it to. Can anyone read this and give me some feedback, tips etc.
Suppose I want 2 things:
1) Overnight, I don't care about anything except for the alarm clock. Don't make any noises/vibrations for calls, notifications etc - anything at all.
2) During the day, have Stamina mode on with a few exceptions: hangouts, facebook messenger and gmail (via Extended Standby and adding those exceptions). I've also selected Stamina Clock.
For 1, I've sorted this by using Smart Connect with just a timer, and having it turn off sounds and 4g and wifi, so it really shouldn't be using much power at all. Without the Stamina settings this works fine, but when I did a few tests with Stamina, it's as if Stamina is preventing Smart Connect from firing, and I don't see a way of allowing Smart Connect as an exception to Stamina. Additionally, there seems to be something odd about Smart Connect even without Stamina - it doesn't seem to let you arbitrarily select start and end times; they need to be an hour apart. And even this isn't entirely consistent.
Stamina sounds great and I see no reason not to leave it on all the time (not the Ultra one - that's a bit hardcore for me, and totally changes the launcher and everything).
Hi everyone,
The Stamina mode seems not to work properly on my Z3. Indeed, although the remaining battery time increases dramatically when I activate it, the Z3 still warns me when an email arrives or anything else. Plus when I switch the screen on I clearly see that Wifi or mobile datas is not paused. I can even ping it when on wifi. So I wonder if the Stamina mode actually works. I have already delete cache and datas of the app in Settings but nothing changed.
What about yours ?

when u turn on the screen stamina mode won't prevent data usage
it almost works when users turn off the screen.
also there s an option to avoid waking up the phone on lock screen (when using stamina mode)
:good:

Thanks for you answer. Yesterday I saw it worked because as soon as I turned the screen on I saw the LTE network back and all my emails
flowed.
What I mean is that I know that mobile data is on when the screen is on, but from what I checked there's always a bit of latency for the cellular datas to be back when you switch the screen on., and usually I see that they are newer switched off except on scarce times like yesterday.
Here's the thing, since I sold my z2 I've been browsing around different manufacturers, but that's not too relevant, just wanting to say I have experience with Sony and stamina mode since I've owned:
Z, Z Ultra, Z2 (some others not from sony) and now Z3.
The thing is that either Stamina is now unusable when compared to what I remember on previous owned Sony phones, or there's something I'm setting up wrong...
First I know that after enabling Stamina, you can add exceptions, basically applications that will still receive notifications while Stamina mode is ON.
On my past Sony phones, this meant instant notifications, as it was expected, I guess, and I was happy with it, as I need to have gmail, calendar and some messaging app always connected.
Now onto Z3.
I see that just turning on Stamina won't let me add exceptions, and that requires extended standby to be ON too.
Ok, I turn it on and it says that it will turn off mobile data and wi-fi, and I'm like wtf how will I get notifications then? Anyway I turn it ON set my usual apps in exceptions list...and this is where the "fun" begins.
It seems like the exceptions list I set simply does not matter as I will not get any notifications if the screen is off. And I mean NO notification whatsoever. If I turn the screen on, they all appear.
So this is not like I am expecting for Stamina mode to work...does Sony really ruined this piece of software like it seems?
How is it that on my other Sony phones Stamina worked as expected: very low standby drain with notifications actually always incoming (only from apps in exceptions)? Vs this thing now, which is basically useless if you want to have some notifications still, with it turned on.
Disable the "data/Wi-Fi off when screen off" toggle, maybe?

You cannot have Stamina Mode enabled without turning ON the Extended Standy mode too...which turns off the mobile/wi-fi data. Smart isn't it?
EDIT: To add to the issue, if I enable and then disable the stamina mode, it aparently stops notifications permanently for some apps...what the actual F?
I have it:
*Stamina on
*Active 100%
*Extended off
*Performance limit on
*Watch mode disabled (since extended in disabled)
Why can't you do it?

Because my phone apparently won't let me.
I CANNOT, repeat, CANNOT let stamina ON without enabling extended standby. It's that simple...this thing sucks
D6603? 5.1.1 ? At least firmwarea .232? Maybe even .264?
Here's a "proof" from .200/.232/.264 at least: https://i.imgur.com/iE1iiLo.png

Just updated with the stagefright fix build, I see what you set up there, but what is the meaning of stamina mode like that? That is just a performance reducing feature, not Stamina, it I set it up like that.
Just to add to the injury, to some apps that were in the exceptions that did not receive notifications in stamina mode (or extended mode whatevs) I had to clead cache/data for them, to actually receive notifications again AFTER disabling extended batt mode.
I cannot fathom how wrong this thing is, they basically ruined a perfectly working feature of the phone, that I actually liked/used.
Not sure how you want it to turn off the internet when screen off (as the text says it will) yet allow them to work and have notifications on time? Maybe have some at an interval ( as the other switch says) ?
Just because it did it in the old phones does not mean anything.
Oh, do you use any firewall? It needs to be whitelisted too.
In the mean time how much does a full charge hold you anyway? 2 days? Less?

If it was possible then? Why not anymore? Software regresses on Xperias now? Damn wrong if that's true.
I also thought there must be an interval at which notifications are being checked for whitelisted apps, but If I receive a message on whatsapp at let's say 3 o'clock it will not notify me even after 2 hours. (this happened)
Tried factory reset, firmware update, all that I could, but no go.
No firewall also, clean connection. A full charge gets me trough two days mostly, one and a half if I go insane wiht picture taking and gaming. All in all pretty good battery life, but not that amazing compared to the old Z2.
I think I need to get rid by this OCD of having features that actually work, by flashin the marshmallow concept build, at least that one doesn't have Stamina mode!

That's ok.
Compare Z2 vs Z3, not sure who promised you "better" battery life on the Z3 but they lied.
Ive got a SM-N770F/DS and I always have medium power saving mode on. I have also always had an issue with Google Maps not wanting to detect location after I turn the screen off. I assumed it was a google issue until I turned optimized power saving mode on today and Maps suddenly started reading my location and giving directions while the screen was off. Is it possible to disable the "prevent background location access" part of medium power saving mode? Long pressing my power saving settings doesnt give any options to do this, im thinking my only option is to root. Would rooting fix this? If so, does anyone know of some roms on here that would allow me to do this? I dont care about much else from the rom, I like the phone as is and this is the only issue I have with it
Do not toggled on any power management other than the power mode (optimized) and fast charging.
They screw up functionality and increase battery usage on my unrooted 10+ running on Pie.
In Developer options>standby apps all buckets should show as active otherwise power management is active. Android will manage apps well without any power management options turned on. Track down any remaining battery hogs on a per case basis and deal directly with them. Sometimes closing the window gets it done like with Brave. Others need to be dealt with by package disabler and/or Karma Firewall.
This may or may not help you.
Gmaps is crapware. Runs best on original factory load and is a parasitic drain wanting to constantly run in the backup from boot sucking up battery and bandwidth.
Unlike you my goal is to keep it from doing this
Also review Gmaps notification and other settings. It's a mess; buried settings galore.

I feel like I have experienced the opposite. I felt like my battery was draining faster with optimized on today (2nd pic) compared to the past few days with medium power saving on (first pic). Obviously more testing needs to be done to see. Going off of the pics I lost about 50% each day, so optimized seems to be worse for battery life but the reduced screen on time makes up for it in this scenario
