Hi guys - on the battery stamina mode am confused. As everytime i reset my phone it works but after a few days it stops working, Can anyone tell me - is it a issue with the phone or is it a case where the phone understands your usage patterns & then gives you a more accurate standby time as per your usage. On a full charge my standby shows up as 4 days at 100% battery. But in a few days this reduces to 20 Hrs on a 100% battery. Dont know if this is normal or should i repaid my phone
same problem here. mentioned in several other posts as well like this one:
what you guys don't realise is that stamina battery report is evaluated and changes as you use the phone, what it's telling you is that if you continue to use the phone like you're doing since last full rechatge then your battery will last xxx amount of time - it's quite cleaver actually
An example - if you are using your phone for a day for say just making calls and texting etc then the time reportd say 48hours will reflect that usage profile/pattern until it changes, so if during that day you decided to use a game that was very demanding on the battery or even watch a video - the extimated battery time will change dramtically in response to your usage pattern, and for information - I have a game that is so demanding on the phone that it will run the battery down even with the mains charger plugged in - so for some applications like demanding games even the charger cannot keep up with the power demand required by the GPU and CPU - that is how it is
I'm not saying stamina mode doesn't have issues but you need to consider what I've written above - also stopping the app and clearing the cache will reset the usage profile so you're fixing nothing just reseting the stats
Thanks Geoff. This information is helpful, however is this information confirmed by Sony? Please let me know. By the above logic you have explained, if the phone isnt used for a few days then then the phone should reevaluate & recalculate the same right? However i dont see that happening.
Can you confirm the below:
1. Has sony confirmed that this is the way the battery stamina mode works?
2. How to make my phone recalculate the usage, if i stop using it extensively?
I'm locking this thread as there's already several about stamina. How stamina works is also described under common questions: http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/154243.
