I own a Z1 and I updated my phone to the latest version. When I turned on ultra STAMINA mode it does its thing, restarts It turns on in ultra Stamina mode. I go in to the settings and deactivate ultra stamina mode it restarts but when it loads back up it wasn't working properly. ALL the aps that were download weren't there there also was no play store or Google search bar no widget, clock, photos. But when I went on to the settings and had a look at the apps they were All there but they weren't on my home screen or application screen.

Then that is the issue just because apps are transfered to an SD card doesn't mean they work the same as if they were on internal memory

That doesn't normal matter they work normally before and not all of my apps are on SD. As well some of the apps that are on there don't work they come up say this app is not supported by your device such as Gmail

@Sprit_Hawk3

Try clearing data for the app called Xperia Home under Settings -> Apps -> All -> Xperia Home and then restart your phone. Can you see you apps then?

Hello Rickard,

That's strange.

What happens if you open the Play Store, search for one of these apps and then tap "Open" so that you try to start it from there? Does the app start?

Ultra Stamina mode bug

Kibin — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 07:33:46 GMT

Hi. I used ultra stamina mode for a while and then deactivated it normally. After my phone restarted, I noticed lots of my apps are missing and I don't have any way to access it anymore. I checked on "Apps" in Settings Menu and the missing apps are still installed. Can you help me out with this please.

I can't because the play strore is also missing.

Strange problem occurred after exiting from ultra stamina mode..please help

pry — Mon, 29 Jun 2015 05:32:35 GMT

I was using phone on ultra stamina mode since battery was very low and it got switched off once the battery was fully discharged.
After recharging when I switched on phone and deactivated ultra stamina mode, I was surprised to see that almost 70% apps were gone. Only few apps like WhatsApp and shazam were visible.
I checked apps setting, it was showing all apps that I had.
One message was continuously appearing " Google play services has stopped, it is not supported by your device, contact manufacturer".
I tried few things like clearing cache of play services and stamina app but no success.
At the end I made a new user and was amazed to see that everything was working fine and play store was running good.

But the main problem is that I want my old user to work fine and want all apps to appear that are not visible due to play services error or by ultra stamina error. Please provide the solution.
Thanks

Please let us know if this still remains after repairing the phone software via PCC.

PCC couldn't detect my phone. I can't even take backup of my internal storage.
Ultra Stamina mode made **bleep**.

it's clear, you have a problem with a database of your programs. The simplest way is to make full reset of your phone. you will lose all of your data but this is the best way to prepare your phone for work without problems.

But if you need to save all of your data (or only several apps) you could try reinstall needed application, that data you need to safe. It could work because any application stores its data in it's own folder /data/app/folder_of_application . Use Root Explorer program to see that. Play Market, f. ex., is in a folder /data/app/com.android.vending. In that folder you will see an APK-file of this program, you could try to run it ( if you have permissions of root) and it install the application directly from your phone. if not you try these procedure from Play market . try it for one application end if it will work you will repeat it for over.
Reinstalling of application will rewrite a line in the broken database of installed applications, and it will use the application data stored in that folder.

After reinstalling of needed application and if it will work you could try to make the backup. And then make full reset of your phone, and then you will try to restore the applications on your phone from your backup.

I'm not sure, but it could work.

or, if you have root rights, you can use Titanium backup software, to make a backup of data apps (all your phone).

Ultra stamina mode removed apps and everything!

I used ultra stamina mode last night and turned it off this morning only to discover most of my apps have gone, my settings have gone and I can't get onto Google play store to re-download my apps!

I can't plug my phone ibto a pc as I'm away hence using ultra stamina mode in yhe first place!!

What is the point in having a mode that should be helpful when it messes up the rest of your phone?!

Fabulous! After a whole day of being away from a pc and not able to restore a backup or having the stock app to restore my backup from the sd card I gave up trying and decided to try and re download my apps only to find that some time during the day that has vanished too.

Excellent
