When you switch Stamina Mode on it turns everything off but calls and texts. You can add more apps if you wanna get notifications. Simply go to the Power management - stamina mode and click on apps + active on standby and add the apps you wanna get notifications

Are you using apps like task managers that auto kill running apps in the background? Possible you added whatsapp in greenify?

Its off...and am still facing the same problem !!

It could be your router, is it just this phone that has the problem or do other phones have it too? Just on wife or also mobile network? One of my routers causes this problem on everyones phone in the house

Hi I'm also using whatsapp all the time with stamina mode on but never encountered this problem. It is likely possible that whatsapp is being killed or acces to GCM is being blocked or regulated somehow?

No push notifications in sleep mode

Hi everybody.
I just bought a Samsung S3 but I have a problem..
Every time I put my phone in standby, after 5-10 minutes the phone stops getting push notifications (fb, whatsup). I need to turn it on and after that everything's fine..
I tried do update to android revolution hd 17.1 but I still get this problem..
I've already tried to set Wi-Fi to always off, checked all notification setting but to no avail..
Is there a way to receive internet messages without turning on the phone every 5 minutes?

Their is a refresh setting of almost every internet app, try to change those. And check whether Do Not Disturb option in the notification panel is not on.
Hit Thanks if this helped.
Disable smart alert in 'motion' and that should fix it
Especially if you have a broken/malfunctioning proximity sensor

No I didn't.
I even did a hard reset 2 days ago. The only apps I have right now are whatapp and fb messanger
I just tried to uncheck "smart alert" but the problem persists.
Okay wait, when you say 'standby mode', you just mean you're locking it, right?
Assuming that the answer to my previous question is 'yes', tell me, when you turn your screen back on do you get a little notification on the bottom of the screen that says "You are now connected to (whatever your WiFi is called)" ?
He still doesn't receive texts I believe so this is not having the WiFi set to turn off at lock

My issue only occurs when in 3G. It seem the phone disconnects from 3g line when in deep sleep.
I've already tried to use different sims of different operators getting the same behaviour
If I connect my s3 to a wifi spot it always gets notifications instantly

Maybe stamina mode does this for you? As far as i know, stamina mode connects automatically (i think you have to choose this option) when you are near to a trusted wifi network. Disable stamina mode and see if this problems persists.
Hope this helps you sleep tonight
Nah, there is a separate option that enables wifi once you are near a "saved" wifi network! But this is not in stamina mode...
However, check if this setting is enabled. It is under Settings - power management - location based wifi..
reply
Thanks for the replies.
I have checked everything is turned off, wifi off, data off, location based wifi off, I have turned even the stamina off for last night. Still I have got an ebay, gmail notification around 6am.
Maybe there is a automated sync option, which I have not found yet. The thing is I do not remember having these issues with the ICS version.
Can you not put the phone into airplane mode instead?

Stamina Mode not working?

I bought the device a couple of days ago and i love it. But i experience some sort of glitch with stamina mode. No matter what, some notifications still come through (Foursquare, facebook etc) and i have no apps whitelisted except tasker!
Does anyone else has that issue ? i'm on stock .402 rooted (locked BL)
The whitelist is for alowing apps to keep the phone active, not anything else
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I know that, but i think you misread what i wrote (well my English sucks anyway )
What i wanted to say is that i don't have any whitelisted apps (except for tasker which i need it active), but i still get notifications from facebook, foursquare etc. From my understanding of how Stamina mode works, The device shouldn't allow any notifications from popping up.
Any ideas?

It doesnt block notifacations
You can stop those from the personalization menu
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Obviously it doesn't block notifications, but if stamina mode is on it shouldn't allow apps to use the data connection while the screen is off (because it turns the data connections off) hence Facebook/messenger etc notifications shouldn't come through until you turn the screen back on unless the app is white listed. I think the Op is on to something because I noticed the same issue with Fb messenger the other day, didn't notice it before because I almost never use stamina mode but I'm fairly sure this is either a new 'feature' or bug because stamina mode doesn't behave this way on my Z ultra

Thank you! I'm glad i'm not the only one experiencing this.
The thing is - if you have any app on whitelist, which wake device from stamina mod, it enable internet connection as well and your apps are checking for updates.
I really doubt there's any chance to avoid that...
So, when Tasker wake up device all other apps are behaving just like you unlocked the screen and Internet connection is established.

Oh i didn't think of that. That would explain a lot. From what i gathered about Stamina mode, i always thought that it would enable internet connection only for the whitelisted apps I'll try with no apps in the whitelist, to see if it works.

Yep, that's fair - but I don't actually have any apps whitelisted, maybe they'll fix it with the next update, it's not such an issue for me because as I said I never really use stamina mode because the battery life is good enough without it - it is a bit annoying because I used to use stamina mode when I wanted to mute all Web based notifications

It should work like that, they should build firewall for that to block all other app but, apparently, they didn't.
For me that's OK, if one app wakes up my device to refresh it, why not to update all apps and notifications...
But it could be annoying if you don't want that...

Well, as soon as i removed all whitelisted apps, stamina mode starting working *almost* at it should. I said almost because it doesn't make sense to have a whitelist option if it effectively destroys the purpose of having a "Stamina" mode.
Anyway, i have faith in sony fixing it.
Hmm interesting, maybe I need to do a factory reset on mine then
I think the stamina mode is a bit bugged because I notice my apps stop working properly even thou they in the list. For instance, my outlook (emails stop syncing), wechat (can't send or receive anything), or whatapp (delayed messages sometimes). Even if you wake the phone up, the apps is already stopped working so I have to force stop and to start the app again for it work. I think this also explains why the location based WiFi seems not working at times for me too. I turned off stamina mode and the issue has went away.
The interesting thing is that, I have stamina mode turned on family members Xperia T2 Ultra, Z Compact and Z Ultra, it works works fine for them as they have WeChat as well.
If Stamina mode don't work properly, clearing data of "Eco Mode Controler" in settings>all apps can help.

Just curious, why would someone not use the Stamina Mode? I mean, what makes you not use it? I didn't see any negative effects it puts on phone, AT ALL. Other than that "extended usage" option, which slows the phone a bit.

I have that issue too. 1 week after i bought the device stamina mode run well. When the screen off no notification (line, WA etc) then I wake up the screen all notification come. But now it doesn't work. I did re flash and factroy reset but stamina mode still error. I went to Sony Service Centre, they upgrade my os but still error. They said maybe hardware problem. Is that true hardware problem? or software problem? Because i have 2 friends with sony xperia z2 but their stamina mode run well. any idea? sorry if my english bad. Thanks before

Exactly for those reasons listed above, I have fb, WhatsApp, Skype and many more notifications coming through that require the data connection and I want to receive the messages immediately rather than whenever I decide turn my phone screen on. If I used stamina mode I'd then have to whitelist all these apps, there's no point - I may as well just keep stamina mode off. I don't get much gain out of using it anyway because I use my phone a lot during the day where having stamina mode might give me an half a day of use - pointless because the phone still won't last through day 2 so I'd still have to charge it every night. So given that I have to charge it every night with or without stamina mode, its far more convenient to keep stamina mode off so I don't have to worry about missing notifications
this solution worked for my friend try it
open wifi settings>advanced>keep wifi on during sleep make it never ...make sure that there is no apps in "apps active in standby mode and make the activation always on ..try it and goodluck ..

[Q] Notification delayed until screen is turned on

Hello,
I have noticed since I started using whatsapp and viber that when the phone screen is turned off, if someone sends me a message via whatsapp, the phone doesn't instantly notify me. It is only when I turn the screen back on that I get the notification. Also, when someone calls me on viber, the phone doesn't ring. Again, it is only I turn the screen on, that I see all the missed calls.
I mostly use my phone on a wifi connection and the power saving mode is set on smart.
What can I do to get notifications as they are sent and not until I turn on the screen ?
Thanks

Look into huawei's power saving thing. It diables background apps. Just put a check in the box where it says allow in background.
Settings-power savings protected apps.

Whatsapp/fb notification delay LP .28

Hi guys. Since I updated to LP .28 I have been having trouble with notifications, I don't get any notifications until I turn on the screen. I have STAMINA Mode enabled but I already added Whatsapp and FB to the exception list, and also, it doesn't matter if Queue Background Data is on or off, I still don't get notification which is very very annoying. I really don't want to wipe my ROM, as I have a lot of mods and stuff. Do you have the same issue?
Had the same problem directly after updating to .28. After disabling and enabling all Stamina related settings everything went back to normal.

In stamina mode the phone turns off data when screen is switched off turning it on at set intervals at times(usually when you get a phone call or text also) or when you turn on the screen.
I even had this with the battery saver option on my xperia s. So its nothing new, maybe you just noticed it now.
P.s this really should be in the Q&A section.
Thank you. I believe you haven't read my post carefully, I clearly mentioned that even if I turn the option of Queue BD off, the issue still persists, especially with whatsapp. thanx
Same problem here so I stopped using Stamina mode to solve it. Reinstalling ROM without a wipe may be required to fix this problem Goodluck

I was talking about stamina mode not the background data queue. Try turning stamina mode off completely you'll get what I meant.
Yes, I know that turning off Stamina would most likely solve the issue, but my point was why do we need to turn Stamina off to get notifications when it worked just fine under 4.4.4 and below. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. Besides, I have never turned off Stamina Mode neither will I ever turn it off, it saves 50% of power all the time and for me it's a must. I used to own a Z Ultra as well, and never turned SM off, and it always worked perfectly, even when I activate Queue BD, I, of course, have some delays on getting notifications, but still not really bad, it used to sync every 5-10 minutes or so, which isn't really bad. Also, if Stamina Mode means no Mobile Data, and no notifications in return, then it's useless we are better off without it anyway. Thank you guys for the contribution.

Mine works fine on .28 (tested on mobile data and wifi)
All messages (whatsapp, LINE, BBM) are received instantly in real time (no delay) in Stamina mode while the screen is off.
