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.

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:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/How-to-boot-your-phone-into-safe-mode/m-p/348008
Otherwise, it sounds like you need to perform a software repair or a factory reset.

My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod touch is disabled. When I connect it to itunes it does not come up on the screen as a device. What can I do to get her itouch working again?

My daughter forget her password and now her ipod touch is disabled. Red message says to connect to itunes. When I do connect to itunes, the device is not recognized and then a message comes on the screen that says it is locked and to enter the password to access it. I cannot access the password and since itunes does not recognize the device, it does not come up on the list on the left, i cannot reset it. What do I need to do so she can use her ipod touch again? Thanks

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

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"

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.
nvx
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.

Stamina mode "problem "

hey everyonei have z3 (D0663)i think i have a problemmy stamina mode used to show me 3 days and some hours and then it showed me 1 day and 19 hrsi thought i had a problem then i did factory reset ..after that the same thing happens again start 3 days now 1 day and 22 hrsis stamina mode depends on my usings ?i mean it Collects the time which i use my phone and it shows me that ?

That's exactly how Stamina mode works.
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/Battery-time-and-enhancement-features/m-p/347874#U347874

So should I turn on Stamina mode always to extend battery life?

Hello eveyrone,
I was just hoping that you could help me understand how to efficiently maximize my battery life of my Z1.
I noticed that when STAMINA mode is turned off, the standby time decreases but the "standard" time usage is longer.
However, when STAMINA mode is off, standby time is longer (6-10 days), but the "standard" time usage is shorter.
How should I go about this? Should I always turn Stamina mode on to save battery? Or are there instances when I should deactivate Stamina mode to maximize my Z1's power? Why is this so?
Thank you.

Strange problem occurred after exiting from ultra stamina mode..please help

I was using phone on ultra stamina mode since battery was very low and it got switched off once the battery was fully discharged.
After recharging when I switched on phone and deactivated ultra stamina mode, I was surprised to see that almost 70% apps were gone. Only few apps like WhatsApp and shazam were visible.
I checked apps setting, it was showing all apps that I had.
One message was continuously appearing " Google play services has stopped, it is not supported by your device, contact manufacturer".
I tried few things like clearing cache of play services and stamina app but no success.
At the end I made a new user and was amazed to see that everything was working fine and play store was running good.
But the main problem is that I want my old user to work fine and want all apps to appear that are not visible due to play services error or by ultra stamina error. Please provide the solution.
Thanks

After using my browser (any of them) for a period of time I get a message saying that a page can't be opened. I have to reboot again. Clearing the cache doesn't help. It's very annoying. It even happened in the middle of a chat with Apple online support. I'd be very grateful for help!

Several things come to mind ... when you say your wife uses the same system with a different login and doesn't have issues, that suggests looking at your login items. Go to System Preferences (on your dock or on your hard drive in Applications), accounts, and on your account look at login items. Anything there that shouldn't be or isn't used? If you don't know, create a new account for yourself with no login items, and see if you still have the issue.
Next, I would run OnyX, which is a free disk maintenance program. You can download it from http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php . Do the tasks on the cleaning and maintenance tabs. Before using any disk maintenance software, you should have a system backup. I periodically run it, and others have found that it can help with performance.
You might look at how you're system is using memory. You should have enough but it's easy to check. Bring up the Activity Monitor (on your hard drive in Applications/Utilities), and look at the system memory tab. Note page ins and page outs. If page outs are 10% to 15% more than page ins, you can use more memory for the programs you run. A page out occurs when memory is full and OS X has to write a section of memory to the hard drive. Too much of this can really impact performance. The optimal situation is for page outs to be zero. Note these values reset on a system boot.

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.

Stamina Mode not working in Z3

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&colon; Pushbullet, Gmail, Twitter are only few examples.
So basically the connection is not shut down when in stamina mode.
Is this the case for any of you?

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
The phone must be in standby mode for some time, around 15 minutes, before Stamina mode kicks in. Have you tried to have your phone in standby mode for at least 15 minutes and then tried if the phone can receive any data.

STAMINA MODE problem in xperia sp

After some time(15 days of purchase)stamina mode does not working on xperia sp

What do you mean Stamina Mode doesn't work? It doesn't allow you to turn it on or off? The estimated time doesn't change? If so, then you probably have excluded apps that will be constantly syncing and/or using your data or wifi connection, thus, defeating the purpose of Stamina Mode

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

Ultra Stamina Mode Major Bug.

I have a Xperia Z1, updated to the latest Android lollipop version. I enabled Ultra Stamina Mode today while I was out and once I got home I tried to deactivate it. But it would not deactivate. Therefore I just restarted the phone. Once restarted I find that I'm still in some sort of ultra stamina mode hybrid. Most of my apps are hidden in the default Xperia Home launcher even though I can still see they're on my phone in Settings->Apps. I can't open any of the few apps that are available as they crash. I got frequent Google Play Services has crashed notifications. I restarted several times, activated and deactivated ultra stamina mode numerous times and still no luck. I searched this issue through Google and found that many people have also encountered this problem and that the only solution was to do a factory reset. So there you go, I had to do a factory reset, lost all my apps and data which weren't backed up all because Sony can't do quality control when updating their phones. If you're going to add a feature Sony make sure you test the **bleep** thing on your phones!

You could try something more drastic, repair the phone with PCC
