Just wondering, do you leave the stamina mode at always on or to start at some percentage of the battery?

i leave it always on, simply because its worth being more efficient over not being as efficient

any important app that I deem needsv to be active in the background. so for example, whatsapp, line, wechat, Skype, one drive (for backups overwifi), titanium backup, dropbox.
Good idea to add Cerberus too I think, if you use it.

STAMINA MODE always on, with exceptions for the apps you want to keep syncing; otherwise you wouldn't take the real bennefit of it...
Keep stamina mode on All the Time except for the apps you need to receive notifications from, whatsapp, Facebook etc, whatever you use the most

Best results will be if you are using stamina all the time but without exceptions.
Why?
Because...if you let even one app that has to synchronize over Internet, you are enabling data/wifi and stamina won't give you results you should get.
We are all checking our devices every 15-30 mins and you'll receive all your notifications anyway.
I'm doing that on a device where's my business mail and I never missed important mail.
Over night and under 15% I'm using ultra stamina.
I leave it always on, that's the main reason i like xperia z line.

So I've been reading some threads about the app JuiceDefender, and even tested it out for a few days, but before I really start working with it I was hoping to get some opinions. It appears that the major draw of the app is that it limits your data updates in order to save idle battery life. However, I generally keep an instant messaging program running (imo when it works, trillian and skype otherwise) at essentially all times. From a few tests with the app, it appears that when it turns off data updates while on idle, it also disconnects me from my chat apps, causing me to miss messages and such. Is this really just not the app for me, or is there something I'm missing? Does it really even help at all, or is it just another battery life placebo?
Thanks for any help!
The juicedefender version that is .99 allows you to set exceptions for apps when the screen is off. Unfortunately, doing so for an app like IM pretty much defeats the pupose of juicedefender as you're wifi or mobile data will need pretty consistent access

Agreed. Would not suggest using it at that point
okay so what you wanna do is go to settings, then go to accounts & sync then uncheck background data! It wont affect anything but the market so when you wanna download stuff you just have to turn it back on then off. This will increase your battery 100 percent no lie! It made my phone amazing.
Also good if you do not want to receive any emails or notifications of any sort...

I just have a 3G switch in my notification bar so I can turn it off/on quickly when I want, and doing so saves my battery countless hours of life. I turned my phone on 7 hours ago and I've only had 3G turned on once for some quick browsing and resyncing my contacts with Facebook, and I'm still at 90% battery (and I've done a fair amount of messaging today and made two phone calls)
How do you put that in your Notification bar? I'd really like to be able to do this that easily.

There is an app in the market called widgetsoid that can do it. Or you can flash a CM rom. They all can do it natively. There's other ways but these are just a couple that can get you started.

Well, I often change my Google cal on the web on a desktop PC (or in iCal on my Mac) - much easier - and I wouldn't get gmail with background data turned off. So, it does affect more than the market, actually.

Using MacROM and smartass governer, turning off BT/WiFi and GPS, I was able to get 2.5 days of battery out of mine on a recent weekend camping trip. Unless I'm on the phone or REALLY texting a lot, I can make it from 7am to midnight and still be on >25%. The ROM can make a HUGE difference!
Kind of the same as turning the phone off... the battery will last a week with it off.
Isn't that amazing? It could probably even last twice as long with it turned off. Good luck getting any notifications, though. Of course, there are some days that it would be nice to have it turned off.

I live in the boonies and work in the boonies. Turning my 3G off also seems to increase my useable signal for texting and calls. Also saves the battery big time. There is no drawback for me. Besides texting I dont have to have instant notifications from FB or my email.
How wrong the op was lol
I came across this app while I was looking for something in play store.
it won't freeze your apps, or even kill their processes. But rather, put your background apps (that you select) into HIBERNATION.
"Greenified" apps are automatically hibernated when you're not using them, so you'll always have enough free RAM + Much longer battery life.
I strongly recommend you give it a try. At your own risk of course.

UPDATE : Donation version now allow hibernating System apps.
LOL, I guess like 90%+ members should know about this already. It's pretty much the only power saver app I haven't removed and would recommend - all of the rest, in my experience, have done much more harm than good.
does what it says perfectly - nothing more nothing less and most importantly no annoyances - one of my all time favourites

I'm an active user and I didn't find out about Greenify until yesterday. Strange, but it happens.

Only problem being that it shows only apps with widgets or that anyone will probably use and won't block (or "greenify")... so totaly useless... to me at least.

I'm not sure I understand this. You can greenify any app. Just press the '+' button on the top right corner and you get a list of all the apps.

It is nothing but a task killer.
Kills the process after idle time.
confirmed it from Setting-Applications-Running Applications.[ And Other task killers too]
Check out and let me know.
^^nope it isn't a task killer it just hibernates the service so that it doesn't consume any cpu cycles unnecessarily afaik

Don't go on the description.
I've observed with Facebook app.
The service restarts Every time.
You can feel the excessive leading time.
There is nothing like hibernation.
yes it does kill the app after ideal time, and the good thing that it works, other battery saver only kill app temporary and it will restart automatically again.
don't use it with apps like what's app or viber skype,,, etc
you will not receive calls ir chats untill you reopen the app, personally I am using it with secondary apps like kik and facebook twitter, ,, etc
apps that I dont want to get notified instantly

Greenify caused me problems. Swiftkey keyboard waked up my phone some times, so i Greenify it. But when i wanted to use it, all i got was a black screen. Only after i removed the battery the problem solved.
Generally this programme is useful for Facebook, eBay, Tapatalk. And only if you don't want notifications from these apps.
Can't use it (there is no point) in Viber, clock - temperature - diary widgets, battery monitoring programmes, setCPU programmes, WiFi Toggler programmes, call recording programmes, Cerberus or "where's my DROID" programmes.
For me is useless.

Hi everybody,
I'm now exploring my new Z2, and being obsessed about battery life I am curious about the stamina mode.
So I get that on the very basic level, it simply shuts down WiFi and mobile data when the screen is off and turns them back on when the phone is active.
But what happens when I add apps to the "whitelist"? If I add gmail to get email notifications - would it keep data running? would it turn it on periodically (e.g. like Juice Defender)?
the data is running but is controlled like firewall.
lets say if u add whatsapp in the whitelist, only whatsapp can get the traffic while other apps are blocked when screen off.
This might help you - http://developer.sonymobile.com/2013/04/03/how-sonys-battery-stamina-mode-works/
I was wondering the same thing. The link someguyfromhell posted doesn't really say how it works. I'm interested in this because it seems to have a great impact on battery life and notifications arrive instantly and I'd like to use something like this with a 3rd party ROM. Is there any app out there that does exactly that?

Greenify does the exact same thing at a shorter extent I believe.
My phone is able to get really hot by leaving a game on pause or standby while the screen is off. Is there an app or way to auto close everything or auto turn off the phone if it gets too hot? I have cm11 nightly, neighborhood kernel and trickster mod.

Use Greenify. (find it on the market)
It will kill all processes of apps not active. However, remember it does not distinguish that you have switched to another app, and want a particular one in memory to remain. So choose the apps you want to "hibernate" before hand carefully.
I have been using this app for a very long time, now, and find the battery life and heating issues are a thing of the past. Active apps will continue to drain battery and heat up processors, but not much you can do about that is there?
cheers

Hi another thing you can try is to tweak down the max cpu speeds using any tuner. I myself use the Kerneltuner which is very efficient for the CM11 roms.
The effect is immediate and the battery life is also increased. You can also chage the control to power saving / on demand to solve this issue without changing the cpu speeds.
hope this also helps.
cheers

I'm not sure about cm, but stock roms turn off when it gets unsafe (around 90 C I think). Mine used to shut off with extended miracast use, so now I keep it on ice cubes. I use tasker to display cpu temp on the screen when I'm doing high heat producing activities like watchespn and maps. That at least lets me see when things are getting dangerous.
