After i updated my xperia z3+ with 6.0 Marshmallow, the power management is gone. I don't have STAMINA mode anymore and that was one of the biggest reasons i bought the xperia a couple of days ago.. Is there any way to get it back?
Been thinking about this a good bit lately. With the rollout of Marshmallow Ultra Stamina Mode is gone. Doze does not provide a similar feature. Sony advertised this and the extreme battery life that was achievable. I used Ultra Samina Mode frequently when I was backpacking and away from power for a few days. Could go 3+ days without a charge. Now Sony has removed a much advertised feature. Discussed with a lawyer friend about initiating a Class Action suit against Sony to hopefully pressure them into bringing back the feature they adversised and used to sell the phone. Looking to gauge how much interest there would be in joining such a suit.
Pls bring back STAMINA Mode on next update for Z3+Dual Marshmallow, & Z2 too. The stock battery saver turns off automatically on recharge, also no customization, force turn off vibration also
Android 6.0 introduced Doze mode. As it performed a similar function to Stamina mode and was built in to the core operating system of Android, Stamina mode was not included in this update.
We have had a lot of feedback on Stamina mode and it may return in future updates.
I was super excited about getting the official update. I expected quite a lot and yes many things are very good but some things which I'd been using since the 4.0 that I just now miss those features. In particularly I'd like to mention that In 6.0 you have removed STAMINA and ULTRA STAMINA mode. I miss them a lot and I actually found very useful of them. They are one of the best features that the Sony users have got. Please add STAMINA and ULTRA STAMINA mode to 6.0 (Marshmallow) too.
I have just upgraded to the latest version of Android (actually forced to by my own phone) and now the power management settings have been replaced by battery usage settings. The problem I have is that in the old system you had the option to select apps that would notify you of activities even when in power saving mode, while after the upgrade you only have 2 options: Battery Saver and Battery Optimisation. In Battery Saver mode everything is turned off when the screen goes dark. Unfortunately that doesn't work for me. (I tend to not reply or to reply late only when and if I bother to check the phone.) I don't quite understand what the Battery Optimisation mode is supposed to do, though...
