Simple lollipop question - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

I have a question for people who are using lollipop right now. I saw that there is a ultra stamina mod in that version for z ultra. It is a nice addition but it's kind of useless as well as low power saving mode present in kitkat. I wonder if Sony have added a cpu option In low power saving mode, which is there on Z3 for example? That would make this mode actually useful.

Well how about that, I finally got my Stamina working and I notice this white-only LED and went on adventure on how to fix this and here you were. Thanks man, gonna try right away and report back.
I don't really know what the purpose of this module is.
The LED remains active in Stamina mode since I believe the 4.2. update for the Xperia Z in mid 2013 or even earlier in one of the newer 4.1. official firmwares...
The same goes for the Z1 and Z1 compact so there is really no need for it.
People don't even need root as it is active with stock Sony firmware.

Umm... I had some trouble with Stamina so I used the SuperStamina.apk from Existenz' rom v5. Then it worked but LED with white when stamina was active... and that is based on 10.4.B.0.569 which is afaik 4.3... So, I dont know.. I thought it was supposed to be fixed as well, but apparently not? This module helped...
Still, stamina is some wonky ****, it's like its random whether or not it works.

Then you're very fortunate that the LED continue to work properly when stamina mode is enabled. For many other Xperia devices (I'm using ZR and many other 2012 models), Sony decided to disable LED or make it to display white color only when stamina mode is enabled. Previously people had to mod the SuperStamina.apk to restore LED, now I hope they find it easier with this Xposed module.

I bet the fortunate ones simply just have a malfunctioning stamina I mean ive been rolling with stamins "enabled" for quite a while now with fine notification LEDs but I found out it wasnt working at all lol
Working like a charm in my xsp
Great work
Works great on Z1 Compact with firmware 14.3.A.0.757 (Android 4.4.2).
The LED was the only reason I disabled the Stamina mode. Thank you very much! :good:

May I ask how you figured out stamina mode was not working (properly or at all)? Reading all this, I began to wonder as my LED notification seems to work while stamina mode is switched on (now, I don't know if it is really working or just pretending to do so).

I just used instant messaging apps to test. Make sure they're not on the exception list. Turn phone screen off without being in the charger. Then make someone write you. If stamina works the message will only get delivered once screen is turned on.

I use a similar method as Kocayine to verify if stamina mode is working or not. The only thing different is I use Whatsapp instead of SMS because Whatsapp allows you to define the LED color while SMS always use white LED for me.
Anyway, you can post your Xposed log here for me to check.

I may have misunderstood Kocayine's post about malfunctioning stamina mode as I thought it didn't relate to the Xposed framework or the specific module discussed here but describe a general issue with some xperia devices. The Xposed framework isn't installed on my phone yet.
However, with stamina mode (supposedly) turned on and screen off, the SMS app will indicate an incoming message with a purple/blueish LED notification. Turning on the screen, I will immediately see the message in the minimised notification area. Now, depending on the way I access the SMS app, the message will appear instantly or with some delay. If I - somehow - get to the conversations overview screen, the new message (or more exactly a preview of it) is shown immediately; if the respective conversation already has been on the screen (or I move there through the app switching thingy), the new message may take half a second to appear. It is very similar with Skype except that, in Skype, LED notifications sometimes do appear when the screen is off and sometimes not.

It doesn't relate to xposed framework. It's a general thing afaik. Btw, don't use SMS, stamina always allows SMS and calls. Instant messaging isn't SMS but something like WhatsApp, FB messenger or indeed Skype. The notification should be delayed until screen is on. Including vibration, vibrating and sound.
In Skype, with the screen off, it goes like that:
Skype running in the background
An incoming message will trigger a sound and a purple notification. When turning the screen on, the notification changes from purple to deep blue and seems to stay that way until I open Skype.
Skype running in the foreground
An incoming message is not indicated in any way. After turning on the screen, the rest is the same as above ...
Now, Skype, being all buggy (on Android even more than on Win) may not be the best test here, I guess.
Thank you! It works perfect and it solves one of my biggest annoyances of my XZ!
Any idea how this affects battery?

As far as I can see there's no noticeable impact on battery.

[Q] [REQ] Playing games in Ultra Power Saving Mode[Grayscale]

Hey guys can you link me a real working app so i can play games like hearthstone in ultra power saving mode, so i dont want colors, just grayscale!
I know there is one for galaxy s5 but i need for this tab
Try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.xperiacle.upsm.manager it lets you add more apps to ultra power saving mode. It costs some money but I think you can refund it if it dont work. Or.. The free way is going into settings then turn on power saver. Then click on the power saver and turn on gray scale.

Z2 Marshmallow Stamina Mode

Hi there,
i was using all the time Stamina Mode in Lollipop, after the Upgrade to Marshmallow, there is only the standard doze mode.
but i think the Stamina mode was much better if you were using your phone much, maybe the doze is better for real standby... but atm im not Happy with my battery life.
So is there any option to add the stamina mode to Marshmallow?. ( i saw some posts that there were tests running doze+stamina but no real answers)
Thanks for helping me out

.291 should have Stamina Mode installed.
If not, you may try flashing the Xperia X system ui + lockscreen + stamina mode addon ported by Ben Ling.

[MOD][Xposed] Quiet Xperia Stamina Mode

This module disables the permanent "STAMINA mode activated" notification when it's enabled on the Xperia Z5. I don't know how many devices this will work for, presumably only Xperia devices (or some subset thereof).
Download from the xposed repo: http://repo.xposed.info/module/io.github.joshuawebb.quietxperiastaminamode
Tested on my Xperia Z5 (Android 6.0.1)
Working on my Z5 Compact. This is great thank you.
Xperia Z3 Compact does not work. 5% came notifications enable stamina mode.
hakan5816 can you post a screen shot?
This module is supposed to disable the notification when Stamina mode is already on, is your phone telling you to enable stamina mode when it is already on?

Yes, it comes notifications enable stamina mode

Somewhat related, can you make the "low battery enable Stamina" notification that appears after 30% remaining (15% after I installed a module to hide low battery alert) go away too? Thanks

Xperia XA Ultra; Missing home screen icons after ultra stamina mode

Hi guys,
I am just new here, so please bear with me.
I have an Xperia XA Ultra, and just like my header, I lost all icons from my home screen after using ultra stamina mode. The three buttons are still there though (the Back, Home, and Recent Apps button).
I can still use the apps from recent button, I can also use the notification bar
I have already search for forums with the same issue as mine, but I guess nothing is as close.
I am not using any launcher, just the default/stock from Xperia. And I have also updated my OS to Nougat quite a while now. So I am guessing it's a glitch from the OS update since I have been using the ultra stamina mode before I got the update and it worked just fine.
Please do help me.. Thanks!
You could try using a 3rd party launcher while waiting for a fix...

It's actually a feature
You can use only limited apps in Ultra Stamina mode in Nougat.
So it's either use stamina mode or restrict app usage in ultra mode.
I have the same exact problem! But I haven't found a solution to it yet.
Im having the same problem. What did you guys do? Im using xa ultra and my phone is not compatible with XPERIA HOME on play store which doesn't make sense. Can i use any launcher instead?
