Stamina mode is great but I'm not a big fan of how it changes the LED behavior on the z1 - the intervals between flashes are longer, and the led illuminates quickly and with less brightness than in normal mode. It would be nice to be able to utilize stamina mode but keep the normal LED functionality, I wonder if this could be added as an option with a mod (maybe through xposed). I really prefer not to use 3rd party apps like lightflow.
+1 :good:
I was thinking of asking thw similar questions too. Yeap, i Guess its the only drawback for stamina mode. Hope someone can fix it. Cheers
I think that we have to change some build.prop values.
The answer is at Xperia T forum.
I 'll take a look and report back.

I tried this app on my Z1, but doesn't work.

Apps like lightflow or light manager do not work in stamina mode, once the screen is off the stamina mode led behavior overrides the settings from the app.
just add this app to exception

That does not work.
strange..for me works fine...
but I use monx rom
this app => https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ledblinker works with stamina mod. Don't forget to put it on exception in stamina parameters.:laugh:
edit : Sorry for this wrong information. first time ledblinker works and not the second test
i think all of the 3rd party led apps work the same way in stamina mode - they work with the screen on or for a short time with the screen off, then the stamina mode behavior takes over. Exception list does not seem to make any difference.
I haven't noticed any difference to be quite honest. The light seems to work the same with or without stamina.

With Stamina Mode on, the battery is decent. My question is,
1) if I have it on 24/7 forever, will it harm the Z3 alot?
2) if I keep using it with screen on like playing games and have the stamina mode on, will battery goes even faster then its not on?
3) what about the ultimate Stamina mode?
I'm also wondering about that. Hope someone will post here some information.

1) No, it won't harm the Z3 at all.
2) Stamina mode, if you set it up for extended usage will limit the performance which you may, or may not notice when playing games. Battery drain will be less than without Stamina mode.
3) What about it? With it on your data connections are gone, Calls and SMS are your only communication mediums available, and a limited selection of basic apps (Calendar, Clcock, Album, FM Radio, Calculator) and the Camera. This of course rules out gaming.
Phil
Ultra Stamina Mode is usually for when your battery hits the 10-15% mark and you need extra juice for the next few hours. As mentioned there is no data so only calls and SMS.
So ultra stamina is like in aeroplane mode. No wifi/bluetooth as well?
STAMINA mode effect can be seen only when screen is off.
I will quote sony
When the screen is off, in order to save battery life, WIFI and mobile data will be temporarily disabled, and most applications will be inactive.
When the screen is ON, your phone will function normally.

So that means, when screen is ON, stamina dosent do anything. Your phone will act like there is no stamina mode at all.
Here is information about Queue background data
Another new and important power management feature is the Queue background data* functionality, which minimises the number of network connection attempts when the screen is off. By queuing and releasing all network requests at set intervals of 15 minutes, the time spent in the connected radio state is minimised and the battery life is increased. When Stamina Mode is enabled, the Queue background data will only queue the connections for white listed applications, since all other applications are already blocked from using network connections.

Ultra stamina mode
Ultra Stamina mode disabling all but phone, messaging, calendar and camera functions.

Hope it clear out for you guys a little bit.
I have problems with Stamina Mode. It doesn't work for majority of the apps. Meaning, even if I don't whitelist an app in the stamina mode, their notifications shows up and they send/receive data: Pushbullet, Gmail, Twitter are only few examples.
Is this the case for any of you?
Can you post screenshot of your configuration so i can tell you more.

Based on this, everything should work fine. Only two apps are allowed, and this too check for notification every 15min while screen is off.
I dont know what cause the problem :/.
Also, remember when you put your phone to charger, stamina is disabled while charging.
Yeah and I can't be the only one
First I thought the problem might be due to light flow app but disabled that and tried without that and result is the same.
(Should I have uninstalled, not sure but I just disabled light flow when testing)
Just out of curiosity, is there anyway to auto trigger stamina mode without rooting the phone?

Turn on Stamina Mode, and you can set what percentage of battery it activates at.
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)

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.
I'm just assuming that the "improved" Stamina mode is actually Doze on the Go by Google?
However what happens if you set Stamina on all the time with performance preferred? does it actually save any battery or is it just disabling the display enhancements?
Not sure but coming from a z3 compact it's poor battery life

From what i've heard Stamina mode is battery saving mode similar to android stock battarey saving mode tweaked by Sony, should be a little more efficient than, say, normal battery saving mode... try also greenify app, it has an aggressive Doze mode which should help saving even more battery

I can highly recommend the aggressive doze and doze on the go feature from greenify been using it on my stock unrooted xa F3111 since July, never even needed to use stamina mode once since getting installing it.

Bought the XZs for almost one month. The battery performance seems not as good as expected. It seems even worser than my old phone, LG G2. I tried to change a new XZs and the same problem exists.
Phone Idle always take around 20% of the battery use. Stamina mode is one and 2-3% is gone even the phone is not in use. The same issue even happened in safe mode. And fast charge is not fast at all...
Googled some posts and found that some people, XZ users, experienced the same issue. I have tried uninstalled Facebook and Messenger. Seems not help.
Just downloaded betterbatterystat, I hope can find some cues there later. But if anyone can advice why
You installed betterbatterystats? That requires root right? Which isn't available yet I believe... Guess we'll have to wait for root to investigate this
Seems like this is Android 7.1.1 Nougat's problem.. Is it the Android OS percentage is very high in the battery usage list? Many Nexus devices also having this problem.. My XZs can only get nearly 3 and half hrs of SOT omg, seems like the doze is not working well, saw massive of wakelocks during screen off..

nougat's problem...but seems not seeing people raised this problem in the internet , so i am still not sure if it is my own problem or not..:silly:
my top 4 usages:
screen 20% (screen opened 1hr 35min)
phone idle 16%
chrome 9%
android os 9%
the battery power dropped around 30% after 12 hours and i might just used the phone for around 1.5 hrs only.

As u can see the image I attached below, the phone is constantly waking up during screen off. It means the doze is not doing its job. Gg Nougat, my SOT hardly go over 3 and half hrs..

I don't think there's a recovery for keyaki, but maybe you can flash xz recovery, it's the same hardware.
But I'm not sure at all so prepare ftf to repair
Hey guys, after some researches and testings, seems like my XZs is having good battery life now. What I did was go to Chrome > Settings > Site Settings > turn off the Background Sync option. Now my latest full charge gives me 2hrs 43mins SOT with 49% battery left, with 1 hr gaming. Hope this helps, good luck everyone

I've been using Xperia XZs HK version for about 2 weeks.
I use an app call "Brevent" to keep background apps in standby mode when they're not active.
I think there're also some issue with Doze mode on Xperia phones, it drains battery more than I thought......
Then I found an app call "Force Doze" to force it go straight in Doze mode while I shut the screen off.
Now it only cause 1% per hour while I shut the screen off and leave WiFi or LTE on.
Or 1% per six hour while I shut screen off and keep the phone in Airplane Mode(very useful at night).
By the way, both "Brevent" and "Force Doze" does not require ROOT, but they need adb for authorizing their activities.

does it affect some app's performance after using them?? do i have to stop the sync activities??

No, it doesn't.
Brevent only kills process and prevent them from running in background while you have already swiped the app from "recent apps". It does not affect background activities of apps which are currently in "recent apps".
For those apps which requires sync service (for example, "Gmail"), you can set them to "allow sync" in Brevent.
Then these apps would be allow to sync in background periodically, instead of allowing them all the time.

cool, it really helps a lot during screen off! it just took 1 % when i wake up.
I do not have the Problem. All sync enabled, Bluetooth on, really much apps installed. At end of day 37% remaining. Its impressive. 41.2.A.0.219.

I also have the same issues and the charging being terribly slow there also isnt any double tap to wake screen so i cant turn on the screen to look at the time comfortably without unlocking the phone
Seems like the doze is not working well
