Improved Stamina mode? - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

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.

[Q] Stamina Mode

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.

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.

[Q] Sony Xperia Z2 or other Xperias with that mode

Anyone using Stamina mode on Xperia Z2 from 100% (full battery) and does it can mess up battery or whole phone since it's marked to turn on from 20% battery...
Edit: Mods move my post in Z2 section if it needs to be there.

No stamina mode from 100% wouldn't mess up your battery. All stamina mode does is stop background syncing (apps using internet when the screen is off).
Tnx

battery saver option on z3?

I was tinkering with the battery usage menu and found this battery saver feature on z3 lollipop. Is this any good? Has anyone used this and compare with stamina mode?I attached pictures below

Battery saving apps for the J7?

Has anyone used apps such as Amplify, Greenify and Deep Sleep Battery Saver? The J7 seems to have Samsung power saving mode and an ultra power saving mode, but not the Doze mode that google built into stock marshmallow.
If anyone has information about how the various power saving options work, please leave recommendations here.
If this comes up in a search, I'm using ForceDoze and Doze Setting Editor. I'm pretty happy with my battery situation as it goes into Marshmallow's native Doze mode as soon as I turn off my screen and ignores my location and device movement.

Mysterious auto battery saver at 15%

I've recently bought my Poco X3 NFC and I'm noticing that when the battery reaches 15% the phone puts itself into a hidden battery saver mode. The standard Battery Saver and Ultra Battery Saver modes are still off, but the phone turns into a sort of Dark Mode, albeit the Dark mode switch is off, it also turns the haptics off, sync off, and the general performance lowers as well.
I've searched in the settings but I can't find the source of it. Does anyone knows how can I turn this feature off?
Their may be a third party app with a sneaky battery saver mode enabler.
Also double check all settings.
If you've enabled developer mode check there too that you haven't activated something
