STAMINA MODE Stopped Working

lijink2000 — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:49:16 GMT

for a week the stamina mode works and shows more than FOUR days of standby time.

Last night i plugged it in at 35% left on battery. Wake up this morning and discovers that the standby time changed to 1 Day 2 Hours.

i tried switching the mode on and off, tried restarting my phone, tried HARD restarting my phone . Nothing works.

and battery seems to drop faster in standby mode, the phone randomly heats up at times, but I checked all apps and all SYNC options are off, nothing is running.

Is this a bug? I DONT wanna do a factory reset again, since I already done it once. ( I did it because Stamina mode failed last time as well)

Try clearing the data on the Power Saver (or whatever app is called, sorry I don't have Z) app...

Go to Settings > Applications and find the app, there should be an option to clear data...

It will remove all the corrupted settings and you can reconfigure the Stamina mode...

If it doesn't help, come back here

Fire it up,

Well clearing data is not a permanent solution. Beside you loose your data from your applications when you clear it.

For eg. if you you clear your data from watsapp then it will earse your all chat history and then again you need to reconfigure your watapps.

Hope Sony will solve this problem in their next update. Till then bear with it.

Are you saying this is a software bug? The battery also drains very quickly i've noticed when this option doesnt work. On a full charge it just shows a standby time of 20 hrs

I tried to find the correct app but only found a "Extended Sleep" something, cleared data in that, Did not help.

I then proceed to clear all data in Settings app, also did not help.

Someone mentioned that the battery management app "Learns" my use and suggest a more correct standby time, is that true? Because It is actually similar to my real life use time when Stamina mode was still working.

So last night I charged the phone to Full, then turned on stamina mode, left my celluar signal ON and went to sleep. 7 hours later I woke up and it's still at 100%. So somehow, Stamina mode still works. and there's no random battery drain.....

I'm confused SONY...

This is known problem, as I have found some from other forums got affected with same problem.

I have been using my phone for 5 days, and when I toggle on or off, the stamina just doesn't work, figure for stamina mode still same.

Hi Guys,

I also faced the same problem, i did some R&D and found the app "Eco Mode Controller" in the APPS>ALL Menu.

I did a Force Stop, then i did a clear data and then restarted my mobile. Now i an able to see that under stamina mode, the standby time is 4 hours and under normal mode the standby time is 2 hours..

Go and check for your self once and confirm back..

I just tried it, still same didn't change anything.

Re: STAMINA MODE Stopped Working

a2k22010 — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 05:43:11 GMT

For me, it changed... Just first do force stop the service and then clear data and then restart the mobile..

Wowww...this is temporary solution, thank you it's working now

Thank you so much for your contribution, much better without factory resetting the phone

I didn't clear and reset the data, after I did it works fine now.

Hopefully, next update will fix this.

Good, it worked for you also.

May be if you can mark it as correct answer, would be great..:smileyhappy:

This method worked ! STAMINA mode is again showing proper standby times..

But to clarify, for my Z the app name isn't Eco Mode

It's Extended_Standby_Controll

As a2k22010 suggested, Force Stop , THEN, clear DATA, then Restart phone by holding Power and Volume up botton until the phone vibrates ONCE, then release the buttons.

It should work

This worked for me, up from 2 days 4 hours at 100% charge to 4 days 15 hours.

why isn't sony responding to these problems, the firmware update it has come out with doesn't solve the issue, as in india even after updating it to the 245 version the firmware in the mobile still shows 211......

its a request to sony, please come out with some genuine issue/ bug solving updates.....
