[Q] Does Stamina icon appear always regardless of activation setting - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wanted to confirm if this is normal or a bug... I have Stamina mode kicking in at 40% only, but the Stamina icon is always showing. In fact, I think Stamina mode for my phone is always on regardless of my activation setting because the estimated battery life is always in terms of days.
Is anyone else seeing the same behavior as I?

If it's activated then obviously it will show all the time to show that is activated.

The problem lies with the activation level being ignored.... guess there's a bug here then?

I don't think so, again, if stamina mode needs to be activated for it to kick in whatever the level you set it at, it's going to display the icon.

This isn't how it works with JB, however - the old icon only appears when battery reaches the set level and the Stamina mode actually kicks in.
So yes, we can regard this as a bug in KK, or at least an oversight, like many half-baked features of this update from Sony.

Right, JB on my ZR only shows the Stamina icon when it's actually on, not when it's merely enabled. Unless the activation percentage level is actually completely broken, so enabling Stamina always means it's on in KK.
Hence my original question.

If that icon is bothering you so much, why don;t you just hide it ?
I personally keep stamina mode ON all the time and I created a white list with apps that are allowed to sync while the device is dormant.
The stamina icon is hidden from the statusbar.

Oh right, that answers that then. It's not something I've ever used tbh as I see it as a bit gimmikie.

Brightness gets automatically set and cannot be changed when battery is low

Right now if the battery level is below certain point, the brightness setting and stand-by time setting get automatically set by the system, and cannot be changed.
I don't know what app or what part of the system is doing this for me automatically. I unchecked "power saving mode" and still.
This is very frustrating. I understand the phone may THINK it's helping me save battery but in fact the brightness I want and I usually set is even LOWER than the auto value the phone sets for me. And besides, I don't like the idea that MY phone is being controlled by someone/something else and I don't have an option to disable that something.
Someone please shed some light?
Edit:
Note that this is NOT the "power saving mode". I disabled "power saving mode" and still this problem.

this is the last 5% of battery correct?

I don't know the number right now. I'll keep an eye on phone as the battery drops and let you guys know the exact threshold that triggers this.
If it's some system app that's doing this, I have no problem freezing it using Titanium Backup just like how I freezed "Tethering Manager" to enable wifi hotspot and I freezed "My Account" so that 3G doesn't come on when wifi is connected.
Just don't know which app it is...
have you flash other roms to see if it go away? i think jug 2.0 take away this problem
And the even more ridiculous thing about it is that it auto sets the stand-by time to 30 seconds, and after I charge the battery to above the threshold it doesn't change the stand-by time back to where you set it! You have to change it back yourself.
Did you try a master reset and see if that fixed it?
No guys its like builtin in alot of roms with out apps... Its the system

For me there is a "power savings mode" right in the settings menu that does what you describe. Granted I'm not on stock ROM, but I think it was there with the Telus ROM too.

This isnt power saving mode causing this. Power saving mode is turned off and this still happens to me once my battery hits like 10%. This is built into the rom somewhere and the vibrant had the same thing. One of the devs for the vibrant was able to disable this setting in their rom so maybe the devs can do the same here. Again this is not power saving mode which can be set at certain levels that you would like.

Yeah once it reach 5%, the autobrightness become very bright and doesn't change..I have tested it on all ROM..and it's not the powersaving..I think it drain the battery really fast to help mentation the health of the battery..just guessing though..and stock ROM is more sensitive than jnault ROM..

You guys are right. It's not the power saving mode. This happens even when I turn OFF my power saving mode. It's something else in the system that's doing this, and yes, the auto brightness the system sets is even brighter than what I previously set myself. So, what a useful feature!
mine does the right thing, opposite of what your phones are doing. im guessing at about 5% battery life, the display sets itself pretty close to the lowest (if not the lowest) brightness setting, even with my power saving mode option unchecked. i wonder if the auto adjust screen power has something to do with it, since i got that checked all the time. but maybe not. im running on beastmod 1.0 rom.

Does 360 Hibernation Master app work on Marshmallow for Z5??

Does anyone know if this app works on the Z5 using Marshmallow?? Please confirm.
Thanks!

Nope, haven't tried,
also didn't know it yet (it appears relatively new)
looks it's offering something similar like Greenify's Shallow Hibernation + Disabling of sync (connection switches) + maximum CPU frequency while screen is off,
looks great from first impression.
I guess it also enforces aggressive Doze ?

zach & kbab,
No no, it's a GREAT app! Read below. I just want to know if anyone's tried it on Marshmallow + Z5 yet. I want to get Xperia X Performance this summer so want to know if it works with Marshmallow or not. I have the S7 and it doesn't work on it, but did on my Z3 which ran on Lollipop.
The ONLY issue I had with my former Z3 was the Stamina Mode on it was great but buggy, and would cause the battery power to "free fall" once in a great while, then I'd have to factory reset. It also was messing with my incoming & outgoing MMS (group and/or photo) text messages. But once I factory reset my Z3 and just kept it off, ALL was fine and perfect. I also found an app that does what Stamina Mode does BUT BETTER, and it only costs $1.95 (free version is good but you want the full pay version, which is done in-app). It's called 360 Hibernation Master. It doesn't work on my S7, but it DID work very well on my Z3, so I assume it also will on the Xperia X Performance. I would leave my phone uncharged and on overnight, and the next morning, it'd still be at the SAME percentage (6-7 hours later)!! A must-have app if you own an Xperia!
Just don't EVER turn on Stamina Mode! I mean, unless someone on here verifies that they fixed it. It's possible that since 2014 when the Z3 came out that Sony had fixed Stamina Mode, but I can't verify that and I won't assume it either. Stamina Mode takes 15 minutes after the screen turns off to kick in, but 360 kicks in IMMEDIATELY after the screen turns off, so yeah it's better. Phone works PERFECTLY when it's running, with no text messages/IMs/e-mails/calls/etc missed.

So far i've tried it with bluetooth, and it turns off directly when the screen goes off and turns back on again after a couple of seconds when the screen is back on.
Edit: the CPU hibernation lock goes at negative values when enabled.

kbab,
Exactly! Does EXACTLY what it's supposed to do! I believe if you were using the Bluetooth for music etc. though, it would let it keep running even when the screen turns off. But feel free to test that out and post your results here.
Negative value? Not sure I follow. You should turn on EVERY option in 360 (in all 3 sections) to get the full benefit of the app. Of course to do so you must pay the $1.95. But Google Play Store gives you like 2-3 hours to get a refund if you want one.
And just to confirm, you ARE running your Z5 on Marshmallow right?
What I'd like to ask you to do is (using the FULL PAID version of 360 of course), tonight when you go to bed, note the percentage of which your phone's battery power is at, then in the morning, check it again and post here both percentages, if you don't mind? Then we'll BOTH know if it really works or not on Marshmallow and Xperia. On my S7, it does nothing, but I'm REALLY hoping that's a Samsung thing and not a Marshmallow thing. Your input would be VITAL to finding this out.
Thanks!

Running Marshmallow, it even lacks Stamina mode. I have the full version also.
When CPU hibernation lock is enabled it shows -2MHz and sometimes even less.
Even with music on my bluetooth headset it disconnects after a couple of seconds after screen going off.
I will do the night test and write back tomorrow when I wake up, and no, I never charge my phone during the night.

kbab,
I can't really say or comment on the performance of 360 without you getting the full paid version. -2 MHz sounds WAY OFF though.
Do you have Stamina Mode ON on your Z5? If so, turn it off and check again.
Under "Settings Hibernation Lock", there is an option there to enable/disable Bluetooth toggle. I'd disable it and try the Bluetooth test again (WHILE music is playing).

Disabling bluetooth under settings hibernation lock would simply make it run normally again, right?

Oh just saw your post! Didn't say "edit" by it. Ok you have Marshmallow (and paid 360) but your Z5 DOESN'T have the Stamina Mode option???? Y
Yes, I believe disabling bluetooth in 360's settings WOULD let Bluetooth run normally again. Obviously this might affect battery power slightly, but 360 should still be like 95% effective despite that. And again, make sure to DISABLE Stamina Mode completely.
That would be awesome if you did do it!

How is it possible you have an Xperia Z phone WITHOUT Stamina Mode?? This is very puzzling!
If you disable Bluetooth in 360's settings (not ACTUAL Bluetooth setting in main phone's settings), then it SHOULD work just fine when screen is off. I never tested this out though as I never use bluetooth.
Ok MANY THANKS on agreeing to do the test!

Sony decided to not include Stamina Mode in their first MM release, hopefully they do it in the next update.

Really?? Interesting. Unless they 100% fix that buggy issue I had with my Z3, they shouldn't re-release it. You have no idea how many problems it caused me. Well, you do now but still. lol I didn't really FULLY enjoy my Z3 until I got wise and kept it off and used 360.
Wow! I can't explain that one at all. Only thing is, I noticed you have the bottom section (Settings Hibernation Lock) options all turned off. Please make sure those are all on before bedtime tonight. And please turn off ACTUAL bluetooth in PHONE'S settings too as I would never leave it on overnight myself.
See screenshot of my CPU lock. This is on my S7, but still. WTF with -2? lol

It went from 100% to 84% with Android OS being the highest drainer according to the battery stats.
Enabling the settings hibernation lock for Bluetooth enables it when screen turns on, even though I left it off from default. I disabled it from settings hibernation lock to prevent that.
Negative values have fixed itself.
Going to try it again this night.

Yeah keep Bluetooth off and I guess that Bluetooth setting in 360 as well too. I never had that issue though so again, weird.
Looking forward to your next update!

YES YES YES YES YESSS!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
I usually sleep 6-7 hours too, so that helps a lot!
No man, thank YOU for being open to trying it out and paying that $1.95 in order to get the full experience!!! I'm really happy to hear it worked out, not just for me, but for you (and anyone reading this lol) as well!
I think you JUST sealed my S7's fate. lol The DAY the Xperia X Performance comes out, I'm buying it and selling my S7. (I was probably gonna do that anyway, but now I have one more GOOD reason to do so as well.)
So you ONLY disabled "Bluetooth" from 360's "Settings Hibernation Lock" (bottom section) settings? Nothing else? And you left Bluetooth off all night too right? (Please answer both.)
If you have ANY issues come up, let me know. Especially if you notice any lagging that you didn't before installing 360, or if MMS (group and/or photo) messages or IMs (etc) don't seem to be going/coming through. Either post here or PM me. I don't expect any of that to happen since I myself didn't have ANY of those issues, but still, let me know if you do ASAP please.

I actually enabled Bluetooth in the settings hibernation lock again and left it off from the system itself. Before, as you remember, Bluetooth was enabling itself even though I left it off default, now it seems to have fixed itself.
Bluetooth was off the entire night
Thanks again, for now the phone works like it used to before I installed this, nothing have changed, except battery of course.

kbab,
Ok that's good to know. So phone's (actual) Bluetooth feature was off, but you re-enabled it in 360's settings. Got it! That's how I did it too on my Z3.
Yeah it sounds like it did. I found it strange you were having that and the -2 MHz issue, but I'm glad to hear it resolved itself.
Great!! If I don't hear back from you in the next few weeks I'll assume all is great!!
Well, enjoy the "new" Z5 and take care kbab!

[Q] Watch stuck in Battery Saver Mode

My Huawei watch dipped below 15% and a card appeared asking if I wanted to activate Battery Saver Mode. I did. Later, I charged my watch, but the battery saver card was gone and the mode was still activated. The screen will not stay on, (despite having "screen always on" enabled), and I do not get any vibrations or other alerts.
How can I manually deactivate Battery Saver Mode? I don't see it anywhere on the watch or the Android Wear app on my phone..
Maybe Phone Settings, Battery, drop down Battery Saver on/off...

@gohamstergo did you find a solution to this one? I did the same thing when my watch showed the option 2 days back and now the always ON feature is gone and the screen turns itself off in 5 seconds. Its highly frustrating. Any help appreciated.
Look in the watch developer options for the Ambient enabled/disabled setting.

I don't think this is the same as ambient option of a watchface. The batter Saver mode turns off the display even before ambient face gets a change to kick in. I was using the same face for quite some time and I do know for sure that it has a ambient face. Heck, I even tried changing to another face to verify it. Nothing works.
By the way, I did find a similar question on Huawei watch forums https://community.gethuawei.com/devices/huawei_watch/f/65/t/3794 and it seems customer care is also clueless about the same and suggested Factory Reset (just because they didn't provide a way to change the setting, that bad)
In the watch developer options there is a battery optimization setting. Maybe this can control the battery saver mode.

I am sorry, could you guide me where is this watch developer options? Are these in the phone settings or the watch settings in Android Wear app?
-----------------------
EDIT: I found the developer options after enabling them. However inside Battery Optimation it has two sub-fields 1. Ambient Mode and 2. Google Play Services. For both of them it says Not Available

@gohamstergo did you find a solution to this one? I did the same thing when my watch showed the option 2 days back and now the always ON feature is gone and the screen turns itself off in 5 seconds. Its highly frustrating. Any help appreciated.

I just wiped the watch and will never activate the option again.

Found this on the Internet about disabling the Battery Saver Mode on another smartwatch:
Pull up the battery saver card and swipe left until you get to the screen that says to disable battery saver, then press it.
Finally it worked !!

Thanks. This worked. I half expected it to as others had to factory reset.
Once the battery hit 15% mark, Battery Saver card appeared and I could turn it off. However there was no option to disable it in total. I seem to remember that there was one before, may be went away with a update.
Anyways all is now good.

As I said in my first post "...the battery saver card was gone." That was the whole point of this thread...

The problem was that apparently nobody knew that the battery saver card (re)appears only when the battery charge falls under 15%...

Yes, well, it's hard to drain a fully charged battery down to 15% when the screen wont stay on to drain it. Quicker to wipe. Terribly planned feature.

LED disabled on 7.0 Nougat?

In Marshmallow we had the enable LED option under Settings -> Screen, on Nougat this option is not there anymore, Light Flow with Normal/Direct/ROOT mode doesn't work too..
Does anyone knows an easy way tô enable the LED?
Since Marshmallow I've been enabling Miracast with a simple line on build.prop, hopefully there is another for enabling the LED.
Thanks.

Thanks! I haven't seem that menu..
The only bug on N that I am experiencing is that some apps seem to no longer trigger the notification light. Chrome does, for example, but Touchdown does not.
is sound for charging and led for charging is working in the Android N

I noticed this on one of my apps when I set the phone down for a few hours like overnight, no light and no sound. I woke up this AM and seen no notification light and then as soon as i pressed the power button to wake up the screen the notification sound played. defiantly a bug, not sure if its with one specific app or across the board. I have yet to get a late night call, as far as I know.

Do you charge overnight? If not, probably just doze.

It should not matter if it was charging or not, I'm trying to understand where you are going with this?
The app functions perfectly until the phone is left alone for several hours then it will never notify, no light, no sound, nothing until I hit the power button., then the sound played no light obviously.
I am tempted to start a thread on this shortly, but I need to see if other apps behave the same way.

Disable battery optimizations for the poorly coded app.
Settings > Battery > three dot menu button > Battery optimization > Select Not Optimized and change to All apps > Find and select app > Pick Don't optimize > Done

I know there is that option, however I did not have to preform this in 6.0.1 for any app, so that's why I am wondering whats up and if that will make a difference or not. I do know that apps with GCS can automatically bypass this from what I read, but that has to be written into the app. I will continue to experiment with seeing what apps do it or do not do it without messing around with turning off optimization for any app like with 6.0.1 . Either this version of doze is overly aggressive or its a bug

Or the app hasn't been updated to cope with the improvements made to doze in N.

Well, in any case its too early to tell what it is, at least for my level of understanding the android OS as well as some others on here.
I guess I will just sit tight n wait and see what others are saying about notifications
Thanks

From my understanding/experience, Doze is significantly more aggressive now than it was in 6. Which is great for battery life, but annoying when you're watching TV and expecting an email or some such.
The charging comment in my other post was due to the understanding that doze is disabled while charging; if you charge over night everything should come in normally, but if you just leave the phone down then it will not.

I thought that might be what you might be getting at .
If doze is more aggressive, i think it is overly aggressive to the point where sometime within an hour of setting your phone down it will only alert for calls/text messages, nothing else, then if the text come in early enough in the light the notification light will completely stop by the time you wake up. I am just not too happy about how overly aggressive this is as like you stated expecting someone to contact you in some way you are SOL. I don't think one should have to go through every single app to set it manually, that is pointless IMO
I have re flashed my system partition since the factory images came out a few hours ago so maybe(not) that could help but I am not optimistic.
Thanks for clearing that up

Doze does not completely kill the services. It just adds more and more delay to its syncing, so even if doze is working aggressively, the notifications should be delayed (like by some seconds or minutes), not completely disabled. The case you are stating doesn't seems normal. I don't know if the apps need to be updated.

So, at least in my case, I solved this issue with the notification light. I went into Settings --> System UI Tuner --> Other --> Power Notification Controls --> and turned them on. Then, Settings --> Notifications --> Touchdown (the app that was giving me problems) --> and changed the notification level from Auto to Level 4 (one down from the top).
Since then, the notification light works as expected.

Always On

Is it possible to make some kind of app or similar thing that would allow screen lock light fot notifications to be always on?

In the lockscreen? If not try Caffeine

Well, there are some apps, but the problem is that they are not kernel related, so even if the screen doesn't consume that much because it's AMOLED, you'll notice an HUGE battery drain, because the phone should never go into deep sleep. Moreover if you keep the same pixels on for a long time, you'll burn them.

How was your experience using the app? I'm planning on getting the OP3T and would love it if it has AOD.
You might get 4 percent drain for a full 24 hours. I used an always on display app from the play store on my axon.. Definitely acceptable for the amount of time it's on.
