Wow, you are lucky. I normally get about 7-10% battery drain overnight. I have various battery apps running and still can't find the culprit that is causing this overnight drain.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
Wow, the craziest thing just happened! Stamina mode has continued to stop working after only a few hours, but this time, it held up all day. I pressed the home button and immediately went back to take a screen shot of the stamina mode estimates and it had gone from 2 days & 16 hours remaining to only 18 hours remaining. I did absolutely nothing to cause this random drop in only 5 seconds. Rockstar keeps mentioning that the displayed times will be wrong but stamina mode will still work, so I'll give it a chance, but from what I've seen in the past, it's not looking good.

PuffDaddy,

If you did EVERYTHING I said to do in that post, including the factory reset using Sony PC Companion, then it should be working. Best way to check is............. charge the phone to 100% (or whatever % really), then leave it UNPLUGGED with the screen off all night. Make sure Location is on "Battery Saver" too, and that Stamina Mode is on. In the morning, if your percentage has dropped anything over 2-3%, then something is wrong. But if not, then you're good to go.

Let us know. We'll go through a final checklist of things, and if all have been covered, then your phone needs replacing. But we'll see.

Just charged yesterday, and I woke up today with 100% lol :) seems fine so far.

Yesterday I've used intense way to squish every % of battery and got around 4+h sot.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
No - I'm fighting tooth and nail to avoid factory resetting the phone. I've had it since March and have only now got it fully set up to the point where I'm not tinkering anymore (though, the nerd in me does kinda enjoy it). I'll keep an eye on it today and see how it holds up, but if it fails the test again, then I MIGHT consider the factory reset. Otherwise, it's not that big of a deal since I can get 2 days of battery from it w/o stamina mode working AND I charge my phone every night anyway.

My question is, why does stamina mode continue to work (after factory reset), but it stops working when the phone was new? Won't I run the risk of having the same problem in a week or a month after the reset?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
stryyker,

100%? Yep......... your issue's been SOLVED son! lol It's DEFINITELY fixed.

Puff,

Ok that's fine. Up to you what you wanna do. I hate doing factory resets too, but it's always easier the next time. lol

For me it wasn't just about Stamina Mode not working, but when things were "off balance", my battery was draining WAY faster than normal. Like I'd go to bed with 100% and wake up with like 58%. Yeah. lol

I can't say for sure why that crap happens with Stamina Mode, and it's projection time going off too. What I said before is only a theory that I have yet to really prove, but again my theory is that enabling/disabling Stamina Mode too many times somehow messes it up and things go south from there. So after doing a factory reset with Sony PC Companion, and setting & enabling Stamina Mode the initial time, I don't mess with it anymore at all unless a battery issue comes up. I even took it OFF my navigation pane as well to avoid accidental enabling/disabling. So far, I have no reason to believe this DOESN'T work, so I'm sticking with it. lol

Let me know what happens, and if you have any more questions.

Well, i stopped using my phone this afternoon and it went into a deep sleep for a solid 4 hours without any background activity. Despite the Stamina Mode stats being completely off, it looks like it still working. I will keep an eye on it going forward, but for now, it looks like I don't have to factory reset! :)

Thanks for all the help!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Puff,

That's awesome! How many percentage points did it drop after the 4 hour sleep?

You're very welcome!

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
I didn't take note of it, but I did leave it if the charger as I slept last night and it only dropped 3%. I do not have my WiFi connection set to turn off when inactive, so I think this is pretty good considering. Thanks again for your help!

Your tutorial should be in the OP so people don't have to read through 8 pages of comments to find the answer.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Puff,

Ok. I think Stamina Mode is turning it off anyway though. I would still set it that way in the Wi-Fi "Advanced" menu. I disabled EVERYTHING in that menu, and I recommend you do the same.

Ok 3%............. I would say it's fixed then. Esp if you whitelisted a lot of apps. Anything over 3-4% would make me think it wasn't, but sounds like you're within the normal range I guess.

Sure man, you're welcome!! Glad to help! Sony forever!! lol

Well I didn't start THIS particular thread, but I do have my post in multiple spots already. Still, I guess I can start one here on xda vs just having it on xda in different spots but not as the OP (which is how it is now).

Ok.........done. lol

One thing people................. in recent weeks, I've had two instances (post-Lollipop) where after turning on my screen while phone was in Stamina Mode (Wi-Fi off), the "4G LTE" icon at top would not appear, even after like a minute of waiting. I'm guessing this is some kind of minor bug with Stamina Mode. I just did a quick reset of my phone, and it was fine after that. So I guess Stamina Mode isn't perfect, yet, but this is so minor to me that I'm not gonna worry about it. But now I guess Sony has two bugs to fix. lol

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
Alright, I'll give it a shot. But I've noticed that my cellular data connection never goes to sleep with stamina mode enabled. Maybe that to contributes to the battery drain?

Sent from my Xperia Z3 Compact
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Puff,

Yeah same thing happens to me. That's why I suggested running the Stamina Mode test with WiFi turned on.

I think while the data symbol/icon stays on the screen, it's actually shut off when Stamina Mode kicks in. That's because Stamina Mode's main function is to disable BOTH WiFi and data when enabled. The fact that I get the same exact (or close to) results with data on further proves that.

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
Well, my battery did not drop a single percent over night after changing my WiFi setting to turn off during sleep. If I ever have to reboot my phone, do I need to follow these steps each time?

Sent from my Xperia Z3 Compact
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Puff,

Well there ya go! With your phone not wasting energy looking for a WiFi signal (esp when you don't want WiFi on), it's saving you even MORE battery power.

Reboot your phone or factory reset your phone? Reboot no, factory reset, yes of course. Especially if you're having issues.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delcopa:
Figured I would throw this out there.

Does anyone know if the tap and pay feature works on the note 4?

Yeah I know you can use softcard but I would rather give Google the business cause I didn't like how the providers wouldn't let Google wallet work unless hacked. Plus like the fact you can just use any credit card or debit card and not have to deal with selective cards and or American express.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaRosa217:
I've been wondering the same thing.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
Google Wallet is all but dead. It's not the carrier's fault. It's because Google's in the advertising business and wanted to track financial transaction data that the card issuers felt was too invasive. Softcard has a very good chance of succeeding because: A) the sponsoring carrier's want it to, B) they play nice with the financial industry, and C) thanks to Apple, NFC is suddenly

the

"answer" to electronic payments.

An article on Google Wallet's failure...

To understand why Google Wallet has not taken off, I talked to some of my contacts in the major banks and they explained that it came down to Google's business model. When Google approached the banks and asked them to support Google Wallet, it explained that part of their support meant that they would also feed data back to Google on what people bought and other personal data that Google could use to serve targeted ads. Besides privacy issues, the banks were not thrilled about being forced into a position to feed all types of shopping data back to Google just so Google could make money on ads. Consequently, most banks were not willing to play the middleman and in most cases would not fully support Google Wallet.​

​

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2469362,00.asp

When Google/Android were younger they were seen as the underdog against Apple, Microsoft, and Blackberry in the mobile space. Now that they're mature, their thirst for revenue growth is beginning to expose the fact that users of their products and tools are nothing more than data sources with that data being sold to the highest bidder. Google's no longer cute, folksy, or an underdog. They and Facebook are probably two of the largest collectors of personal data being used to generate profit. I love Android the product. Its owners, their behavior, their business model, and lack of transparency not so much.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaRosa217:
Softcard is nice & works fine, other than the fact that every banking & credit card I own is incompatible with it & has to be routed through AmEx's Serve card, which doesn't give me the opportunity to choose my method of payment/funding on the fly like I can with Google Wallet. If they would fix that, I'd have no problem using them.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
Financial institutions taking electronic payments seriously is kind of "chicken and egg." Do they invest tons of money in infrastructure hoping that "if they build it they will come" or, instead of being an early adopter, choose to be a "strong follower" once those that went first do the heavy lifting and prove the opportunity? Apple's embracing of electronic payments and NFC has changed the game. You'll see merchants and financial institutions falling all over themselves now to get on the electronic payment bandwagon. We, NFC-equipped Android users, will see the benefit even though Google Wallet itself may not.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delcopa:
I know the tap and pay is working on my son's S5. Still hoping for it on the note 4. My other soon has it on his htc also. So I know it isn't dead working on 2 newer phones after the note 3.

[MENTION=307506]barry[/MENTION] that's what I like about it you have a choice to use pretty much ANY card or bank where softcard your extremely limited.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delcopa:
I would never rule anyone out in the tech field. Things change too quickly just ask blackberry they were the only thing business used. Then MS and apple cane into play for phones. When Google did they were the so called ugly step child. Now blackberry and MS are hurting majorly in the phone business and now there are more android phones worldwide then anyone.

But still doesn't mean anything cause the next great idea could come from an unknown company tomorrow.

I also seem to remember the note when it came out. They also all said it's too big, it's ugly, no one would want it. Even apple busted on it and now, who has the last laugh cause everyone is making the phones bigger just like the note.

I didn't want a debate or opinions cause guess what everyone has one. My only question was WILL TAP AND PLAY WORK WITH THE NOTE 4. Which you still haven't answered. And would you please not high jack my thread unless you can actually answer the question which is why this thread was created.

I can create another thread for a debate on electronic wallets of you would like.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] snake2243:
Ok guys I am pretty new to this all this so please bear with me with my bad words. I decided to install a custom rom on to my nexus 7 http://nexus7root.com/nexus-7-roms/c-rom-for-nexus-7-android-4-4-4multi-window/ (mind you I had a rooted kitkat os installed on my tablet before hand) I installed it and everything went fine. Porblem is when I plug my nexus 7 into my computer, the 26 gigs of space I should have (you know so you can do file management droping pics and vids and such) was not there. I dont understand, no matter what computer I was using ANYWHERE I was always able to simply plug my tablet in and start file management. What am I doing wrong? do i need to install drivers ON the nexus 7? if you say I need to install drivers on to my p.c then please explain (weather it was linux or windows I could do file management on there computer with out having to install anything ahead of time.) so what gives? please help.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ritchea:
Simplest first, under Settings>Storage>Menu (upper right on stock)>USB computer connection, is MTP still checked? I'm not familiar with that rom so not sure about locations.

Based on what you said, it seems the PC is recognizing the N7. Check device manager to make sure there are no exclamation marks. You can also "update driver software" or even uninstall it. Windows should then install the device the next time you connect.

After those ideas:

Have you done several reboots? Was it a clean install? You can always run the install again but try wiping cache in recovery first.

You'll get other replies if someone knows the exact situation for your rom.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] snake2243:
YOU ARE ****ING AWSOME. I am pretty savy with computer's but never did I know there was a actual option to flick mtp on and off. that said I never ever would have guess to check there.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mksin11:
Last time I ever flashed a ROM or participated in this was about 3 years ago. I'm pretty fresh to how this works and all but i still remember the gist of it. I just got my nexus 4 and am hoping to make it better
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
ROM will be pretty much irrelevant. The vast majority are AOSP based, with the differences being visual tweaks and added features, which add little, if any, drain on the battery. Some features, like pocket mode, might drain a bit more, but it's up to you to use them. All will run smooth as butter, stock. It's things like live wallpapers, excessive widgets, and apps running in the background that'll cause lag and stutters.

Custom kernels can help with battery life, but it's a small percentage, and it depends more on how you use the phone. A wakelock detector app plus Greenify can keep your phone from constantly waking and syncing, and that helps battery life a lot. And of course, screen brightness is the biggest battery killer of all.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Targaeryan:
Well if you want a really smooth and battery friendly rom, I'd recommend the L preview.. If you want a Kk rom I'd recommend liquidsmooth as it's feature packed and optimized really well.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Targaeryan:
Well I doubt you would be able to even install an ota update of the official L.. You'd have to probably flash a new rom based on it or flash the factory image once it's out.. I'm sure rooted base roms of L would come out within a week of the release so you could flash that.. But if you want the ota, then you can go back to factory image 4.4.4 after release of L and get the ota after.. But no root.
