Smartwatch 2, and Sony Xperia Z Ultra Stamina mode?

[liviococcia]

Hello Members, just some help please.

In my Xperia z Ultra phone's 'stamina' mode setup, of all of my Smartwatch 2 apps and the SmartWatch 2 connect phone app are in the 'white list' for exception.

The thing is, some Smartwatch apps appear to want an 'always on' data connection, or access to it to refresh the service (an example is the weather extension), is anyone finding that they need to wake the phone to get some Smartwatch extensions to the work in whatever service they particular watch app provides.

I know there are GPS Smartwatch extension's that need the phone's GPS turn on prior to there use, but the 'Weather' extension just seems to need a Data connection.

In the phone's 'stamina' mode setup, what service, or application would need exemption from this power saving feature to allow the 3G data to be always on (or ready to connect to the network).

Any help would be great thanks

Regards
Livio

I don't think I am understanding your question. why your weather app would need to be constantly refreshed? only time I need mine refreshed is when I actually go and check it. the only things that I have made exceptions for would be bluetooth connection so that I don't drop connection to the watch every time my screen turns off and the smartwatch 2 app itself.

Hello ijOrgei, thanks for the replay, and sorry for the delayed response, you just might have hit apon the one thing I haven't made an exception in my Stamina mode setup, the 'Bluetooth' connection, I'll just need to know what I'm looking for in the 'All Applications' listing, is it labelled 'Bluetooth Share'?

Thanks

Re: Smartwatch

As i think this is the new revolution in the watch market, and it is going to take some time for improvements in the connection. Or find some other source to get connected with the phone by watch and data sharing

yea. it's labeled bluetooth share. that and smartwatch 2 are the only smartwatch related exceptions I have in Stamina mode. haven't had any issues with bluetooth connection that way. random drops here and there but usually connected majority of the time. hope that works.
