Stamina Mode and Led Notification

Hi
Do Sony have any plans to allow apps that use LED notification work correctly when Stamina mode is enabled?
i.e. the light Manager app allows a user to configure LED notications, but it only works for a few seconds when Stamina mode is enabled(even though the app is added to the Apps Active in Standby), you have to disable Stamina mode for lightmanager to work correctly

Is there any update availabel to this topic ?
Searched half a day also in german boards and found no answer which satisfied me.
Using Xperia Z1 compact
Android 4.4.4
If Stamina mode is activated, the LED doesn't flash ANY time !
It also DOESN'T flash, if I activate the screen !!!
I don't think this is normal...
I've also tried several apps like "Light Manager", "Light flow" and so on...
With this apps, the LED is "flashing" every 2 or 3 second white/violett, not recognizable if you're not sitting direct above the phone !
After activating the screen, the LED is flashing as set up in the app.... faster and other colour.
YES, I added the messaging app and / or the light app to Stamina.
Dear Sony Team, I would appreciate, if you'll implement to the next update the choice, to activate the LED notification with activated Stamina !
And if possible a little bit more illumination !!

Ultra stamina mode resetting notification preferences

Hi,
Loving my new Z3 compact but noticed a potential bug...Has anyone else used the ultra stamina mode and noticed the notification preferences reset once turning off ultra stamina?
I have tested the ultra stamina mode now several times and its very impressive - I got over a day with just 6% battery. However, when i turn the phone back to normal mode afterwards I find all the notifications I have turned off (facebook, instagram, etc) are back on popping up on the dropdown bar.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks

Could you please send me your details in a PM, and I will forward this.

Ultra Stamina Mode problem

Yesterday I've updated my phone to 4.4.4, and today I've activated the Ultra Stamina Mode option, and when it was done loading, everything was working fine.. I've disabled Ultra Stamina Mode, the phone rebooted, everything was working fine until I've enabled the Ultra Stamina Mode again, and after it was done loading, then I had to go.. I've listened to music on my MDR-ZX610AP(which btw, the button is now finally working), and after 30 minutes, when I came back home, I wanted to disable Ultra Stamina Mode, but it didn't work(I've tapped on the notification and pressed Okay as usually, but the phone was simply not responding to that command, I mean it was not preparing for reboot), so I've rebooted the phone by holding power and selecting restart, and after the restart, I got stuck somewhere between Ultra Stamina Mode and the normal mode.. My screen is gray, I only have some apps.. And I've tried to reenter the Ultra Stamina Mode and get back to normal, nothing.. Tried to reboot in normal mode, nothing.. What can I do, beside repairing using pc companion or factory reset? I don't really want to lose my data..

Hi,
That sounds strange. I suggest that you boot your phone into safe mode to see if you experience the same behaviour:

Otherwise, it sounds like you need to perform a software repair or a factory reset.

Stamina Mode doesn't immediately take effect when screen is off.

This is what I observed after playing around with Stamina mode on the Z3C. My build version is: 23.0.1.A.5.79 and running Android Version 4.4.4.
When you manually lock the screen it doesn't immediately go into stamina mode, and I can still receive data from all apps and get all notifications. After about 5 mins of staying locked with no interruption from data received and notifications, Stamina mode will start working and only allow the allowed list of apps to receive data and display notifications. Another observation is that once Stamina mode is working as it should and one of the allowed apps wakes up the screen, Stamina mode will continue block any apps not listed as allowed to receive data and continue to work, which is PERFECT.
However, if any data is received between the time you lock the screen and the 5 min mark, notifications can keep coming from any app until the full 5 mins has gone through with no interruption from any apps data or notifications.
My question is why doesn't Stamina mode take effect immediately after you lock your phone and the screen is off? If it waits for 5 mins and data keeps coming every 1-4 mins, then Stamina mode will never be activated and the battery will drain as normal.

ULTRA Stamina Mode bugs

1- When I am in ULTRA Stamina mode there isn't SMS app and I can't send SMS because Contacts app takes me to Whatsapp or Viber. But obviously I'm not able to use them. I use Hangout as default messaging app. But I think that's possible to use the stock messaging app in ULTRA Stamina mode.
2- When I shut down ULTRA Stamina mode the phone forgets to hide all the notifications of the apps I've disabled in settings > Personalizations > notification settings.

I believe Sony are aware of bugs surrounding Ultra stamina mode and have said that a bug fix will be issued but haven't said when exactly only Summer time

STAMINA MODE(here we go again) -final clear up?

So I just got the Z1
- After googling around the net I have found several detailed explanations on how STAMINA MODE works.
However, I still think it is unclear so bear with me:
I get the part about usage statistics/usage patterns being learned and all that.
I also understand that if I whitelist an app it supposedly can get push-messages even when in STAMINA MODE and that apps like Spotify will still be able to stream audio - This last fact raises some questions however...
What I still want to know is:
1.
does the STAMINA MODE in effect turn off the Wifi/3G on a hardware level while allowing bursts of data through at timed intervals?
OR
does it only prevent apps that are not on the whitelist from requesting/receiving data on a software level
(while still leaving the 3G/Wifi in an up state from a hardware point of view)?
2.
do the usage statistics/usage pattern collection over time determine at what time-interval apps that are not on the whitelist are allowed to fetch data over 3G/Wifi?
(for example, allow ALL traffic for 2 minutes every 10th minute while allowing WHITELISTED traffic through all the time).
OR
Is whitelisted apps allowed to use data whenever they need to, while all other apps won't do anything at all while the screen is off?
If the answer to question 1 is that all data transfer is disabled on timed intervals in the hardware for all apps and letting bursts of data through every now and then
(and the interval period gets shorter/longer based on whether the usage pattern is intense or not and what apps have a priority status because present in the whitelist)
- then adding any application that uses push (IM, Exchange) to the whitelist doesn't make much sense to anyone who wants their mail or IM to arrive when it was actually sent. I also think that if one has an intense usage pattern the constant renegotiation the device has to do to take the connection up and down in the hardware may even prove counter-productive.
If the answer to question 1 is that all apps on the whitelist are allowed to go on about their bussiness as usual while all other apps are simply "frozen on a software level" while the screen is in an off-state then this feature is useful even when using IM/mail) and should basically be efficient almost no matter what scenario it is used in.
I really hope for a complete clarification once and for all
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Stamina works like a firewall at a software level blocking all apps that are not on the white list from communicating with the internet while display is off. It also prevents most background activities from waking up the system.
Stamina will not allow apps that are not on the white list to access internet at certain times while display is off. Only when you turn on the display or connect a charger they will be able to update. The usage statistics is used to estimate standby.

Stamina Mode: LED Notification for Calendar Events

Is there any application I should add to the Stamina Mode exceptions list in order to get LED notfications for calendar events? I have already added the respective calendar application to the list so sound notifications are provided but the LED will still not flash.
I have stumbled upon a relevant thread (http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-SP/Xperia-SP-Notification-LED-and-STAMINA-Mode/m-p/326146/highl... but it is from the middle of 2013 and the information provided therein might thus be outdated.
Hints/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT (2015-03-11):
I just noticed that -- even if Stamina Mode is turned off -- the notification LED lights up only after waking the phone up. Is this by design? I mean, the whole purpose of a notification LED is to, well, notify the user about events that they have missed while the phone was locked / in sleep mode...

Stamina mode has been designed to turn the LED notifications off, as an effort to save as much power as possible. However, in products from Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z1 Compact and later, the LED illuminates when there is an incoming call or message when STAMINA mode is on.
I tested here and it works like you say, the LED doesn't flash for calendar reminders even when Stamina is off. I will forward that as feedback but it may perhaps work if you download another calendar application as long as Stamina is off.

Notification LED in Stamina mode

(Re-asking the same question I've seen a few years ago for other phones without satisfactory answer; perhaps things have moved on now though)
Is there some way of getting the LED to flash to show notifications received while in stamina mode? I've whitelisted Hangouts and and the screen lights up and the phone vibrates successfully but if I'm away then I have to turn my screen on to check because of the lack of LED. I don't see any sensibly named apps I can whitelist to enable this.

Kitkat and stamina mode

Iv'e updated to kitkat at long last and stamina mode is still active as it was before update but I do not have a icon in my notification bar anymore? Is it still active???

I like the interface,I kind of feel it smoother than 4.3.But I do not like that even though I have more free RAM,in Antutu the score did not improve.

Alarm and Clock inappropriate in Thai language on Ultra Stamina Mode

Hi support team,
I have found that letter of "Alarm and Clock " is showing inappropriate in either the first of Thai alphabet or vowel of "า".
-The first of Thai alphabet should show full name as "ก",not half of "ก"
-The vowel of "า",not half of "า"
Please refer the link :https://app.box.com/s/rfsph14jw4mmepk2rqsjc949v1cilpp4

Flip (8220) LED notification light duration and control problems

As I've read on the boards with regards to other models, the red LED notification light stops working after exactly 15 minutes. T-mobile customer service was unable to find a way to extend this so that it keeps flashing until I check the message. And so, after consulting the boards, I downloaded the BBAlerts app from handango. But the desktop Manager doesn't pick it up as a suitable app for my device.
Any suggestions?

This is a problem with all BB's! The message lights always revert back to green after a certain amount of time. It was one of my main complaints when I got the curve! I know it's stupid...it makes no sense but you have to complain to BB.

I have a iphone 5 and i can not figure out how to turn on the LED notification light. is this even possable? if not how do i know if i missed a call when i was not there to answer it visualy

If you were not there, how would you see the led?
Anyway missed calls will appear on your Lock screen under the Missed tab.
Or a small red numbered badge will appear on the Phone App icon when you have missed calls. You can then access the Recents Tab in the Phone App to see whcih calls were missed.
Missed Calls are shown in red there

Stamina mode doesn't work

When I turn on the stamina mode it's supposed to turn off the WI-FI when I lock the screen but I still recieving all the notifications, I've read that you have to wait 15 minutes for it to turn off the WI-FI but I've tried and it didn't work, I keep recieving all the notifications and the LED brights too. I don't know what to do, could somebody help me?

hi there, i think i have the same problem, when stamina mode is on, it supposed to turn off the wi-fi or it should only connect to known wifi address, but it automaticly turn on the wifi even if there is no known wifi around, but it is another unknown wifi address. i think it's a bug.
and i think the stamina mode is not really usefull even if i turn it on or not, i use my z1 frequently, from morning 100%, and can only last for 12 - 15 max, with only messaging ( BBM, facebook, instagram), a bit of browsing, and game ( clash of clan).
i already turn off the auto-sync, and only put BBM, and whatsapp on the white list on stamina mode.

Can't open a message in Ultra Stamina Mode

For both suggestions, I need to try on Ultra Stamina Mode or usual mode?

Please be informed that :
There's no messaging app which locates under Settings (either Ultra Stamina Mode or usual Mode) so I can't follow your 2 solutions.
==========================================
I followed your link above, as result is
-I ensured the lock screen / notification bar doesn’t indicate “no service” when the device has coverage.
-I cannot "close-all-button" in the activity menu because lollipop 5.0.2 update doesn’t provide the button for my Xperia Z1.
-I did as this advice "Unblocked devices with server policies (such as Exchange Active Sync for e-mail), to enable the new Lollipop lock-screen notifications"
-I ensured the LED light is lit across all sound modes - and no longer offset by “silent”
-My internal memory is 5 gb so no need to move a content to SD card.
However, as Sony and Android said "
Improved messaging functionality in Ultra stamina mode – some conversations could not be opened before in Ultra stamina mode" then I think your team no need to tell a user that Messaging app is available for Ultra Stamina Mode before I activate the mode (it makes me confused). Some conversations or other should not have affecting to Ultra Stamina Mode. In the future, if some of an app doesn't work peffectly or your team does not on any app, could you please kindly don't push it and tell a user that it is available in the Ultra Stamina Mode?. Thanks
