Xperia Z1 Battery Drain

I have been reading posts all over that the Xperia Z1 gives quite a good battery performance but I am not sure if my unit is defective or not as I have shut down the xreality engine, put the network mode to "WCDMA (preferred)/GSM", screen brightness slider is full but the "adapt to lighting conditions" is on, low battery mode is on, location-based Wi-Fi is on, Auto Sync is on (for dropbox, facebook, google, Whatsapp and Xperia with Facebook), location services is off and the bluetooth and NFC both are off! Even after doing all this my battery drains really fast, its down to 40% now with only about 5 hours of being removed from the charger! I just wanted to know if this was normal with the Z1 or is it something to do with my unit and since its only about a week old I can request for a replacement. It would be much appreciated if you guys can help me out!! cheers PS: I have included a picture of the battery usage history from the phone

Dear Sony again your battery results are dismal for video playback and Web browsing I mean the z1 has the best call time of any phone then to be shot down with Web browsing and video playback well below the 7 hour mark with a 3000mah battery. Your software needs optimising ASAP because competition with similar specs get over 10 hours Web browsing and almost the same playing video so how is it with a lighter skin you my dear Sony is doing so bad? Gsm area gave you a 53 hour endurance rating and these tech sites are the eyes and ears for many who are considering your devices it's not all about specs and then can't back it up also your camera is getting subpar reviews please up your software game as a one time leader in innovation you are struggling badly now. :-(

Re: Xperia z2 battery drain

while I'm playing clash of clans my cell phone battery drain supper fast even though it's charging. it's drops every second 1% while it's full charge. I had connect another charger xperia z1 then also the battery drain...... my cell firmware is up to date then also I'm facing problems.. plz help me

What i think it happening is the phone is using more power to play the game etc than the charger is providing so although it will be getting power it's just not enough for the battery % to go up however as it is going down you'll find it's going down as fast

Xperia Z1 Battery drains quick

When I using kitkat phones battery is OK moderate usage it's works 23 hours but same usage in lollipop.. 270 its only 10 hours if this will fix on the new 5.1.1 release if not I plan to revert back to kitkat...

Did you do an upgrade or a clean fresh install either manually using a Flashtool or a system repair using Pc companion as you often find after an upgrade things don't feel right - If it was an upgrade then try performing a system repair
Performing a system repair using PC Companion will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data so best to backup before you begin
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

Xperia Z1 sudden battery drain

Ive had my Xperia Z1 for just over a year and for the last couple of weeks I have had an issue where the battery will go from 30% to 10% and then power off in a few minutes. Sometimes it will be at 25% and then power off saying 0%
I have followed the advice on here, tried repairing etc through Sony bridge for Mac. I have spent all afternoon reinstalling and reconfiguring all of my apps and my phone has just gone from 25% to 0% and powered off
How is it that people are still having this issue? Surely someone must be able to provide an answer that works.
I find it incredible that a company like Sony are unable to provide an answer to a problem that a lot of people seem to be having...

Sorry i don't mean to hijack the thread but wanted to chime in that i have exactly the same problem over the last two months. For example i had 83% charge which then fell to 45% and then the phone had instant battery drain.
No unusual apps running, just browsing the net and pandora in the background.

Xperia Z3 sudden battery drain

Hi, I am new new to the forum and this is my first post.
I have an Xperia Z3 D6653. Lately I have been noticing that the battery has been draining faster than normal. I installed a battery analyzser app for that too.
A few observations:
The battery drops from 12% to ~4% in matters of seconds.
When the phone is on charge at 96% it jumps to 99% and comes back to 97% and then again 99% and suddenly 100%. This was using the wall charger.
The main point which made me write this post was my idle drain. I sleep with my phone 100% and wake up at 52%. My WiFi auto sync and GPS was on. No bluetooth or NFC.
I understand there is battery drain but 48% is not understandable.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Since google play services is using the maximum battery, it's for sure that one of the app is the culprit. ( in the second screenshot, apps usage is 74% of the total battery used )
Uliwooly gave the best possible way to determine it.
Usually a normal phone restart could also help fix the problem.

Xperia Z3 Dual battery drain..running 4.4.4

Greeting guys
I recently switched to andriod with the new xperia z3 dual, the battery drains very fast. its abnormal, please look at the usage , your help guys is very much appreciated. i still didnt start using it heavly , instagram and whatsapp are being used occaisionally only.

Given the power usage on the screens you get 9.5 hours on 14% of battery.
Assuming that battery is discharging lineary you should get about 68 hours of usage.
68 hours is 2.8 days so it's more than Sony claimed in its advertising.
Standby (deep sleep) at about 70% of time is pretty normal. It looks really good.
Z3 has a very big screen. As soon as it is on battery levels are going down pretty fast. You can increase a bit your uptime by reducing brightness (you can adjust it to lower levels even with auto ON).
Also enable Stamina mode. If you need some apps to be running all the time like email or your favorite messenger add it to exceptions by touching stamina mode menu and then adding apps.
You can also enable location based wifi. Phone will automatically enable and disable wifi when you reach places with already used networks.
Best regards,

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
There could have been a few reasons for this; did you happen to see what was using the battery in the battery usage section prior to deleting everything?

Battery drain from Google maps

Hi, after doing the kit kat update my batt is drained within hrs !, I've noticed google services are using 95% is this caused by the update ? Stamina mode etc is on, can any one help me here Txs

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Sony Mobile Communications would like to provide an update in response to the recently highlighted concerns regarding excessive battery drain on some Xperia models running android 4.4.1 or higher. We have identified that the root cause of this is related to the latest version of Google Play Services (4.4.52).
Until a new version of Google Play Services is provided by Google we urge users to either uninstall the latest update of Google Play Services (might limit use of Google Services like Youtube) or go to Settings > Google (accounts) > Ads > Tick the box for Opt out of interest-based ads, and also disable back up of your data by going to Settings > Backup & reset (Personal) > uncheck the box for “Back up my data.

Battery Draining Problem.. !!

Hey Guyz, i mhaving problem with my xperia z1 battery.....it drains very fast....last night i did a format to my phone nd on 100 % battery remaining time was 2 days nd 8 hours remaining......but after installing some apps now on 100% battery remaining time is 18 hours.....
what is the problem......i checked in the battery usage...here is the picture
Battery is 100% stamina mode is on....still just 19 hours.....u can have a look on battery usage too

I see that you have poor signal.. If you have enable WCDMA or LTE mode you can switch to GSM only because the signal is better and there is a limited coverage for 3G, 4G, H+ networks (depending on your area) and your phone use more power to search that kind of networks, If you don't use mobile data often you can switch from WCDMA to GSM only. (A little compromise between internet speed and batery life)
I disable WIFI, Bluetooth, Location services, set Keep WIFI on during sleep to "never" , Scanning always available off, stamina always on. I also try to keep off background services like auto sync. I don't like wasting battery power with automatic synchronisations because i consider that I'm not so lazy to manual sync accounts when i need it.
This estimates my battery to almost 2 days and 10 in standby mode. It also depends of usage history you have to future battery time predictions.
PS: Also avoid draining the battery to 0 because it affects the overall life of the cells. it is optimal to charge the battery in the interval of 10 - 20 %

The Battery Drain SUPER Fast!

Hello Guys! I just bought my Xperia Z2 Two Days Ago and I found an issue about that my battery drain really really **bleep** fast and it also felt hot! In Normal State my phone can just only last for 8hours or less with my many things turned off,even if I turned on Stamina Mode it doesn't make any better too,it can only last for 1day or less!
Can anyone help me or tell me what to do?

first thing to check is what is consuming your battery. The other day I found that the facebook messenger app had gone rogue (as I hadn't logged into it yet, so it was continously updating behind my back in the background draining the battery by keeping the CPU running at full speed).
First thing is always to check your battery usage to see if something stands out.
If you don't know how to do this, go to settings (if you don't know how to do this, pulll down notification shade, touch quick settings in top right, and press settings button).
Press the Power Management Option, and scroll down to battery usage.
Screen should probably be main culprit along with google search. Cell standby may be high if you are in a bad area, or if you are continously running 4G.
Is anything coming up?

Smartphone Battery drain because of Gmail Smart Extension

Hello,
Since the latest update of my SM2 a couple of sony apps have been released to get updated features on the watch. This include a new version for Gmail Smart Extension (1.1.10). In notice a battery drain on my Sony Xperia Z caused by this application (4m7s of activity, which maintain my smartphone awake more than required (9% of its time) and severly reduces its autonomy.
This was not the case with previous version that was running fine. Other smart extensions are also ok.
I tried to reset the app, also uninstall and reinstall the app, but it keeps consuming too much ressources (wakelock detector clearly points out that it is the most battery consuming app on my phone).
Can you have a look to this issue ?
Regards,
Guillaume

Before escalating this further on I will suggest you to reinstall the phone software using Update Service..
Then run the phone with just the SW2 related app's installed to check if this issue still remain.

Smartband talk SWR30 battery drain

I recently got a smartband talk, and although I really like the device, when connected to my phone, the device prevents the phone from going into deep sleep, and that in turn causes serious battery drain on my Z3. The phone barely makes it a day. I really want to use the device, but not sure I can stomach the battery drain. Any ideas how to fix this?

Sorry to hear that you're having issues with the battery performance.
Could you please check which version you have of Smartband Talk & Lifelog?
The version for Smartband Talk you will find in the about menu in the Smartband Talk application.
The version for Lifelog you will find in the Settings/About menu in Lifelog.
If you also could post screenshots from Settings -> Power management -> Battery usage and tap the items that's used most battery there that would be great.

Xperia ZL battery problem

My Xperia ZL have an strange battery behaviour. It started with a crazy battery indicator, for example, sometimes it is showing 75% of battery, then I start to use some app, and the battery drains to 50%, but right after I close de app, the battery shows 63%. So I've never been able to know how my battery is going for sure. Sometimes it is showing 35%, then I just use some app for a few minutes, the battery goes to 15% and suddenly the phone turns off. But when I reboot it, it is showing 30% again.
To charge the phone's battery, I must have luck, because it looks like the phone choose when it would like to charge the battery. The problem turns worst when the battery drains totally. The battery simply doesn't charge, the phone turns on and off constantly. When I plug the battery charger, the LED indicator glows a weak red light, then the "SONY XPERIA" appears, and then the phone turns off, the cycle repeats if I let the battery charger plugged in, back to the weak red light.
Does anyone here had the same problem with Xperia ZL? Does a simple battery change might resolve this issue?
Thank you!

Ok thanks, but if you noticed the second paragraph of my post, I just CAN'T turn on my phone because it's turning on and off repeatedly when I plug in the battery charger. So, the "restarting and resetting" solution is useless to me, because my phone simply won't turn on! Please pay attention to the part I said "The battery simply doesn't charge, the phone turns on and off constantly. When I plug the battery charger, the LED indicator glows a weak red light, then the "SONY XPERIA" appears, and then the phone turns off, the cycle repeats if I let the battery charger plugged in, back to the weak red light."
I will appreciate if someone help me with this case.
Thanks.
