Workaround - Sony “STAMINA mode”

Sony Xperia devices have a STAMINA mode that extends battery life by limiting background processes and internet access. This can affect SmartCircle apps.

To ensure normal functionality, go to STAMINA mode settings and exclude SmartCircle apps from battery restrictions.

1. Go to Settings then select Battery (Fig. 1)
2. Select the top right corner to expand settings and select Battery optimization (Fig. 2)
3. Select OK when you see the Stamina popup (Fig. 3)
4. Under the Apps tab locate the Display app and place a checkmark beside it (Fig. 4)
