STAMINA MODE(here we go again) -final clear up?

[Ruslebiffen]

So I just got the Z1

- After googling around the net I have found several detailed explanations on how STAMINA MODE works. 

However, I still think it is unclear so bear with me:

I get the part about usage statistics/usage patterns being learned and all that. 

I also understand that if I whitelist an app it supposedly can get push-messages even when in STAMINA MODE and that apps like Spotify will still be able to stream audio - This last fact raises some questions however... 

What I still want to know is:

1.

does the STAMINA MODE in effect turn off the Wifi/3G on a hardware level while allowing bursts of data through at timed intervals? 

OR

does it only prevent apps that are not on the whitelist from requesting/receiving data on a software level

(while still leaving the 3G/Wifi in an up state from a hardware point of view)?

2.

do the usage statistics/usage pattern collection over time determine at what time-interval apps that are not on the whitelist are allowed to fetch data over 3G/Wifi? 

(for example, allow ALL traffic for 2 minutes every 10th minute while allowing WHITELISTED traffic through all the time). 

OR

Is whitelisted apps allowed to use data whenever they need to, while all other apps won't do anything at all while the screen is off? 

If the answer to question 1 is that all data transfer is disabled on timed intervals in the hardware for all apps and letting bursts of data through every now and then

(and the interval period gets shorter/longer based on whether the usage pattern is intense or not and what apps have a priority status because present in the whitelist) 

- then adding any application that uses push (IM, Exchange)  to the whitelist doesn't make much sense to anyone who wants their mail or IM to arrive when it was actually sent. I also think that if one has an intense usage pattern the constant renegotiation the device has to do to take the connection up and down in the hardware may even prove counter-productive. 

If the answer to question 1 is that all apps on the whitelist are allowed to go on about their bussiness as usual while all other apps are simply "frozen on a software level" while the screen is in an off-state then this feature is useful even when using IM/mail) and should basically be efficient almost no matter what scenario it is used in. 

I really hope for a complete clarification once and for all

One post at a time,do not spam.

I've read through this post and became more concious about how the Stamina mode works.

After a full charge my Stamina mode shows me only 1 day and a couple of hours... and yes... it's a new phone and can't keep my hands of it!

Kudos given!

Thanks

If you add any app,it will be excluded from stamina mode.

SG Radio + WiFi + speaker + stamina mode ON + screen off -> 12 mins auto cutoff active internet
SG Radio + WiFi + speaker + stamina mode OFF + screen off -> 12 mins auto cutoff active internet

SG Radio + WiFi + headphone + stamina mode ON (APPS Active in standby) + screen off -> No auto cutoff active internet
SG Radio + data + BT headset + stamina mode OFF/ON + screen off -> NO auto cutoff active internet

that's what I find out which does not tally to document.

How often I should charge my phone,???

[Rickard]

That depends on how much you use the phone and how often you will need to charge but it's best to not drain the battery completely. The battery will last longer if you charge it before it's empty (say 20% or so).

Thanks 🙂

Yesterday I tried charging my phone in switch off mode but the things I noticed are
1. Battery drain was even more fast
2. Phone never notifies whether it is fully charged or not?
