Can you check if the same occurs if you restart directly to safe mode and use the device like that?

No you did not understand me. When i fully charge my z3 stamina mode says for example 1 day 17 hours. That is wrong. But when i clear cache and all that after restart it shows for example 5 days 16 hours that is what stamina mode should show and stamina mode then work properly.

I understand that,it might be something messing up stamina mode. I usually tell people to reset stamina like this: first disable it,after that go to settings-apps-all-stamina mode app,force stop and clear data.Turn off the device and turn it back on. Enable stamina and charge the device

I know but that happens each time after i charge my device. And same thing with my sony xperia z3 tablet compact. I guess my only hope is android 5.0

Performing a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.

Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).

Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

Im not sure is that a problem. I might be wrong but in my opinion the estimated time on battery is from the current power consumption. Like if you leave your phone for an hour the estimated time will be much longer than the time when you were using the device.

Ex. You have maximum screen brightness, your playing music, you have WiFi on and you are playing a game then the time will be really short like 3-5 hours

But if you arent using the device and all functions like wifi bluetooth are turned off and and screen brightness to low and you only make calls then the time will be 1-2 days or more.

The estimated time is based on your usage from about 2 days ago - So if you were a heavy user 2 days ago then the time will be less but if in the now you are a light user then in 2 days time that time will increase

Yes,but he might not understand this. After resetting stamina,the time to learn the pattern is needed. But if the user thinks there might be a problem,let him try the repair.

But isn t strange that after i fully charge my phone stamina says 20 hours ?

Re: Stamina mode problem

Most probably you are a heavy user and that is how stamina predicts your life. You can change that after 2-3 days of using it differently.

I don t think so i had xperia m and stamina was saying for example 2 days and as the battery level was lower stamina was saying less days or hours.

In this case,perform the software repair.
