I am very impressed with the battery so far on my Z1 and only had 1 full charge so should improve when fully conditioned.
Used any battery saving apps? I only got Clean Master and Juicedefender here.
Frickin' awesome C6903 Xperia Z1
I am mora than happy with my battery life, it's damn awesome!!!
atm im on 48% and it was last time on charger 2day 13hours 47mins ago! Using Stamina mode.
I have a Z1s on T-Mo USA, so an ever so slightly different configuration for the LTE radios.
With Stamina Mode enabled and set to allow traffic from Exchange Email, I'm averaging 36 hours between charges, running the battery down to under 5% consistently.
On my heaviest day of use so far, I was on the phone for 6 hours via a bluetooth headset while simultaneously running the WiFi Hotspot off the phone, and still got 14 hours out of the battery. My SGH-T989 Hercules could never have dreamed of that level of performance. I'm stupid happy.
Its not bad with stamina on bu t when its off
Battery life is amazing, until you power on that beautiful screen

Good one. :good:
In standby we get easily 4 days. The screen is the main reason of battery drain. Let's see who get more with the screen on!? Ha!
The Z3 is a nice device, I enjoy the screen, thinness and weight, but the latter two definitely come at the expense of battery life.
Of course the faster CPU also plays a part. I'm just getting 3 hours of on screen time with my usage out of it. On the Z2 I got 4 hours.
I don't even know what these people do who get an insane 10 hours of screen on time out of theirs. Probably different kind of use, but still...
Once again I need to look having an external battery with me.
Disappointed.

Post your battery stats page. Seems odd to me. I have 2.5 hours of on screen time with 10 hours on battery at 78% at the moment.
I noticed that too since I switch from Z2. Its difficult to see from the power management tool indicating how many screen time ect.. the battery life just don't seems to be better then z2, and results and very random.. sometimes better then z2, sometimes worst then z2. Perheps firmware upgrade will help..

I have rolled through 3 Z3s due to defects on my 4th, all had great battery life up to 8.5 hours SOT, lowest is about 5 hrs SOT, before calibration. Give it a few charging cycles, or do a full charge and full discharge then recharge and use. You should then be fine. If that does not work maybe you got some errant apps or lots of them continously syncing. Also go to backup and reset menu and disable data logging.
been averaging a day and a half with over 8 hrs SOT with mine. mix of wifi/lte
I don't know how you guys do it. I always get around 3 hours SOT, no matter what. I wish there was a way to check wakelocks without root.

I think it has something to do with the apps you use.
Facebook, facebook messenger, snapchat, swiftkey and Nova Launcher gave me from 4+ estimated days (in stamina mode) to 1 day and 1 hours.
If I don't play games, I get between 6 and 8 hours SOT at the moment.
Check that google play services aren't burning through battery.
Should never get 2 or 3 or even 4 hours SOT unless you're playing games.
I use screen brightness on about 80% as well.
I'll be posting my power usage screenshots soon.
Off to the top off my head, screen was about 50% of power (with automatic brightness, and the slider set on the 1st third), the most power hungry app took about 25%, with the rest taken up by various other processes and apps.
WiFi off.
Facebook used to be a battery killer, I don't use it, but check on that.
Z3 has an incredible battery life
there's something wrong in the op
For my baterry stay perfectly (often 20% for system 20% standby and 50% screen)
Even if it's Facebook that eats 25% of power that still wouldn't account for the overall bad battery life.
Nope mate, sorry - my battery life is out of this world. It's not the Z3, it's your device - get it tested, re-flashed or inspected if the problem persists.

Oh no I already removed, I do not have any battery issues, I was just giving a tip to OP.
Right, so here are my power usage screen shots.
I don't think these can be called ok in any kind of scenario.
I would like to add that with my Z2 I didn't ever get up to the 6 or 7 hours other people were getting out of it, but with my kind of use I got 4 to 4.5 hours, which is considerably more than I'm getting right now.
I supposed it's kinda obvious, with a faster CPU and a smaller battery. What else could have happened. It just annoys me that Sony tries to tell us that battery life is BETTER than on the Z2. It is not.
Well, reviews uphold/confirm Sony's claims so its probably not the phone itself per say. I get 7-8.5 Hrs SOT easily. Disable autosync when un-needed and location services as well. Then see.
Just as everyone suspected, it's malwarebook causing abysmal battery life. Remove it and watch your phone get tons more battery.
Considering that you're one of the very few, if not only, getting poor battery.....I have no idea what else it could be. The phone get's better battery because of using the 801 SOC instead of the 800, which sips battery like fine wine, leading to the increase in life over the z2.
Malware.... Yeah, whatevs.
Fact remains that with the same usage as before my Z3 performs worse than my Z2, so there.
Hi,
When i purchased my Z2 when i was active STAMINA mode the estimated battery time was gonna be 2 days then after more time and the normal daily usage now gonna be 1 day so is that normal ?!!
Android ver 4.4.2 / 17.1.2.A.0.314 FW
please check the below screen shot and waiting your feedback.
It is normal, if you charge your phone often then it will show you slowly the right time, for me it's showing 1 day and thats right.
Its very good
Not many devices can get as much life as the Z2
Stamina mode isnt good at predicting but it later on aftee some use it will base estimates off your usage

Nope it's about the same, maybe a touch better for me.
4.4.4 has good battery in my opinion and testing
4.4.4 had no effect on battery life.
OP the only devices with better battery life than z2 are the z3 and z3 compact as far as I know.
Your results are normal for a z2.

The stamina estimated time is based on your average use. When you bought your phone, it didn't know yet how you use it and the two days were just a guess. 7 hours of screen on in 20 hours is a heavy use and it is normal that it didn't last two days.
I think it's good.
20h
Safe Mood Issue?
Hi guys, did anyone ever had the problem where you have an issue with your phone f.e. a sudden battery drain issue, and you boot into safe mode to see if it is a third party app that causes the problem, but the rapid battery draining stays even in safe mode! If you had this problem, did you manage to find a solution to what the real culprit could be? Thank u
7hour screen time, what more do you want?
One of the most important features that I liked about the Xperia range is battery life.I am worried about the initial reviews that the Z5 has average battery life (comparable to the LG G4 ),please post your experience if you alrady have the phone and how it compares to the device it replaces .
Thanks
I charged mine at 6pm last night (UK Time) and haven't charged since and it's on 68% now at 09:23am - This is after a full setup and re-sync of all my stuff.

I don't think that is that good tbh, 32% drain and I presume that included some hours of sleeping also. Battery life concerns is one of the reasons I am waiting for the premium instead.
Talking of battery life and off topic but my mrs got a iphone 6s on friday and after setting the phone up she unplugged the usb from the laptop at 12.28am saturday morning (uk time) at 75% and she has used the phone for various things since then and the battery is still at 75%, 3+ days later its not normal.
I believe in Z5 battery, very good
My battery life doesn't seem great however it does charge really fast. My "opinion" cannot be used as comparison though because I am a heavy user with many apps. I came from the Xperia Z C6603 which I don't think the battery was that bad. Since I've had this I've not managed to do any extensive testing on the actual battery life and am currently using Snapdragon BatteryGuru.

fast charging doesn't really make up for good battery life I had the Z2 then the Z3 and there was a slight drop in battery life (and capacity) I read that the Z3+ had worse battery than the S6 which I currently have and I have to charge overnight and then at 2 pm o make it last a day .
good
good battery
In a day of average use.. Not constant game playing.. What screen on time do people get on a full battery?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
So far unimpressed. I took it off charge at 7am. It's 3pm and I have 33% left. Comparable to LG G4 which was also poor. My old Z3 definitely lasted better. I hope after a few days the battery will settle and improve but I'm not holding out too much hope.
Strange how Sony is decreasing battery life with each new phone! They had an advantage over most phones with the Z2, Z3 was also good but not as good as the Z3.the Z3+ was average and it seems so is the Z5.

Dead after 9 hours with less than 3 hours SOC. Won't be keeping this phone as battery was one of the main reasons I bought it.

The A57's might not be as efficient, so the SD 800/01/05 devices have that advantage. When the A53 cluster is active drain should be better...but it's not clear how expensive (power wise) it is to constantly switch clusters. Also the faster GPU could be partly to blame if it requires more power than the previous generation. When Qual returns to making their own architecture with the 820 it seems like battery is one area that'll benefit.

Since being by my computer and having Pushbullet on I've noticed I've been getting "Verifying theme" notifications from "com.sonymobile.runtimeskinning.core" something or other popping up periodically. They don't show as a notification on my phone and this may suggest why I am getting almost constant wakelocks and appalling battery life. Hrm
On GSMArena Z5 Compact has slightly worse batt life than Z3 Compact (which was outstanding).
It's still great but it's a bit worse.
I assume Z5 will be similar story.
Probably nothing will come close to Z2...
@doministry, Before this thread becomes identical to all other lollipop running phones' battery thread, I'll just paste it here from Z3+ forum.
'Active mobile radio bug' of Lollipop is the main reason why 2015 phones' battery life took a hit. Wifi users won't be affected by this btw. Meantime, few things we could do to improve battery life
1. Always close all apps (from the MT window) before locking screen while you're on mobile data
2. If you're on wifi 24/7, turn off mobile data permanently
3. Use 2.4GHz Wifi instead of 5Gz if possible
4. Make sure 'Screen' is on top of the battery usage list. Otherwise, you got radio active bug or something else that's draining battery. That said, 'cell standby' tops my list occasionally if I don't use it for a long time. It doesn't affect heavy users but Sony needs to work on that for Z3+. Hopefully, it's better on Z5 out of the box.
5. For past Xperia owners, Z5/Z3+ screen is much brighter than Z2's, Z1. If you leave the brightness slider at 'zero' with adaptive brightness on, it's still much brighter than Z2. Stick to lower manual brightness to get Z2 like battery life.
6. Root
Thanks. What I was talking about is rather the endurance the device gives while performing
certain actions.
It's clear from Z3Compact/Z5Compact comparison that 3G Talktime got increased.
The rest got decreased.
Anyway thanks, I use some tricks and my batt life is great.
I think it's irrevealent to compare z5/z5c battery life to their predecessor'one until a few updates from sonymobile have rolled out. As a z5c owner, I can tell you that stock rom is laggy and full of bugs. However I'm impressed how Sony managed the 810 that provides solid performance (except in the UI atm) without overheating. Web-browsing and games are smoother than my z3c. The z5c remains definitely a bit warmer than the z3c, but less than the galaxy s6.

In theory M should be out for the Z5 soon as it's already out on the Nexus
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I do not believe that updates make much difference .I had the Z2 ,Z3 and Z3+ each was a step backwards in terms of battery life .The Z3 was still godd but the Z3+ was worse than the Galaxy S6 with a smaller battery. The last phone I had that lasted a whole day was the Z3 ,if the Z5 is not at least on the same level I will pass.
Also I want a fully functional phone ,I do not want to turn everything off in order to get good battery life.
Got my XA1 Ultra a couple of days ago. Battery life is surprisingly good. This must be one of the most energy efficient phones out there. 2700mAh sounds really small but the phone still gave me 6h SOT over 2 full days. Standby-drain is very good, it only dropped 3 percent over 10 hours with LTE, wifi and sync on.
For potential buyers: No need to worry about the small battery in XA1 Ultra, Helio P20 is super efficient, perhaps even more efficient than Snapdragon 625.
Great info thank you, I personally think the battery life is great too. For such a big phone you'd imagine or think slightly it will drain badly but that isn't the case as of yet.
Really do love this phone ?
Sent from my Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra using XDA Labs
I am a very heavy user and I find this phone easily gets me through the work day, and I never feel the need to run for a charger. This is mostly on 4g, without wifi and playing some games, and browsing Facebook or xda, as well as calls or texts. And I'm almost always running with full brightness with intermittent GPS use.

Agreed, same here. I get 2-3 days battery life and 5 to 6 hours SOT.
Awesome battery life..
Battery life on this phone has been nothing but amazing for stock rom and no tweaks.

Yes. It is truly remarkable. Both very good SOT and low standby drain. It feels like the battery is 4000mAh rather than 2700mAh. Performance is also good. People often complain over mediatek but P20 seems like a great midrange-chip.
Best SOT I got in a 24 hour period was 7 hours and 15 mins with 10% remaining battery, amazing in my opinion...
This is mine
I dont know even myself how I got so much
Couse the brightness was max
Anyway look at pics
