Ultra Stamina Mode issue with some settings

Teniko — Sat, 24 Jan 2015 17:06:08 GMT

Hey all,

Just received my z3c a few days ago, and I'm loving it so far. I have noticed something that is weird with USM, though. I've been turning it on at night when I go to bed so I only lose a miniscule amount of battery life, but next day all of my preferences seem to have been reset. I've noticed this because I use a Gear Live at work, but I'm not receiving any notifications and have to go turn on notifications for the watch in the Android Wear app every time. I assume this isn't something that's working as intended? Anyone have any ideas?

Could you elaborate more on which settings are reset and do you keep USM during the day as well?

Sorry for not being super clear. When I wake up, I turn USM off, so I'm just using regular stamina mode. The main thing I've noticed is notification settings for my Android Wear device. So, for example, during the day today I'm using my Gear Live, and I have all my notifications going to my Gear (Texts, emails, Google Now, etc). At the end of the night, before I go to bed, I'll switch my phone from regular Stamino Mode to USM, then go to sleep. I wake up, switch USM off, and have the phone reboot and it loads back up into Stamina Mode. I turn my Gear Live on, and switch bluetooth on, and the watch pairs to the phone. If I want to receive notifications on my Gear from my phone (Text, email, etc), I have to go into the Android Wear app and allow notifications to be sent through the Android Wear app.

This has happened both days, today and yesterday, after having the phone in USM the previous nights. Also, I've noticed that every time after I disable USM, my Location-Based Wi-Fi seems to stop working until after I reset my phone. Those are the only issues I've noticed, but they have been consistently happening both days after disabling USM.

I hope that's a little better on the explanation end! Let me know if you need anything else.

Ultra STAMINA mode

Your device will now activate a power save mode with reduced application support. This will take up to several minutes. During this time you will not be able to make or receive phone calls.

Note: Deactivation of STAMINA mode requires a restart of the device. You will need to enter any PIN codes for unlocking the device again after restarting it.

You should see this pop up whenever you tap on Activate.

I'm a little confused by your response. I do see that, everything with USM itself works while it is activated. I see all of the pop ups, and it activates and deactivates fine. It's just that after I deactivate it and the device restarts, my notification setting for Android Wear is reset, and my Location-Based Wi-Fi stops working until I restart the phone a second time. It only happens after I have deactivated USM.

@Rickard ,could you please take a look here?

@Alexdon Yeah, it's basically the same as that! I'm pretty terrible with figuring out if one build bumber is higher than another. My current build is 23.0.1.A.5.77, so I'm assuming that since "A" is higher than "G" in the alphabet that it is a more recent build that hasn't been released yet?

Might be,we need Rickard to confirm that after the weekend.

Sorry to hear that you're having issues with Ultra Stamina.

With the current software, Ultra Stamina may unfortunately reset app notification preferences. This will be fixed in an upcoming update.
