Is there anyone else here that experience that the batterytime is max 3-4 hours standby?
No, battery time is more than great. I got my X1 last monday and the first three times I charged the battery to full and then let the X1 with full screen light on. This lastet more than six hours!!! Then the X1 shut off itself. The same at the second charging zyklus. Again more than 6 hours of best screen-light before switching off in cause of less power.
This is the best result I evere had at a PPC
guess you'd have to replace your battery. seems to be buggy.
my battery lasts about 6h+ of video playback (700mb, avi, dvdrip)

Wow,
I'm using Sync and wifi. can i't be because?
I got 4-5 hrs with wifi and bluetooth while streaming with the screen on max brightness. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
It's Media Panel
Have you launched the Media Panel?
I noticed that if I used the Media Panel for music playback
the back/battery was getting VERY hot. Not good for its
lifetime . So this Panel consumes a lot of power. I guess
the Xperia developers got some work to do.
Also Wifi needs lot of battery power.
Using both about 4 hours are thinkable.

No, not mediapanel.
Well, i test without Synk and Wifi tomorrow.
That's it. It's Wifi. Having Wifi turned on all the time you
will get these results. It's one of the most battery intense
functions. Only turn it on if you need it. For example,
notebooks with much larger batteries will have much less
runtime (bad english, I know ).
Sync isn't responsible for this. I have an hosting exchange
server running but I didn't notice any effect on the battery.
Hope, I could help.

im able to switch my wifi on for 3 hours then music for another 2 hours and 1 and a half hour calls still manage to have 3 bars left on my phone whats wrong with yours?
the battery on the x1 is insanly good compared to the diamond.
(however, when i was charging it yesterday there was somekind of bug that drained the battery when the charger was plugged in, it did not detect the charger after a while, havent checked what it could be, had msn/skype/wifi and the arc slider open )
edit: softreset solved that problem
the battery of X1 is working fine, 10 hours continues use time (for internet + MSN)
WiFi is something that should be only turned on when you are using it. Same goes with BT too infact.
so my accu holds approx. 1 day with music, Games, wifi, video, but I think the accu is already become better as in start in the normal one use he holds 2.5 days
Wow, 8-10 hours without Wlan!
on 2g i got msn/skype running from morning to bedtime, 3pushmail accounts and normal usage, 2bars left of battery at bedtime so its good.
But. i get strange problems when charging the battery and the phone is on. it seams like when the battery is fully charged, it starts to discharge if i not plug out the charger, this morning when i woke up the phone was off but fully charged, it could mean that the battery was charged, then discharged and shut off, then charged again.
a normal businessday: 230 min phone, 30 mails, 15 SMS, bit Internet ....and the Battery is still alive....it´s good enough for me )
sonox
it,s the poor reception that drains the battery,seeking for a signal most of the time..
Since having the X1... Now 1 week... I would have to say its the best battery life on a WM device I have used...
I get approx 2days of usage without charging... which I think is good.
Cheers
I heve my phone checking for new mail every 5 minutes. Does this consume a lot of battery or is it negligible?

yes it consume a lot of battery, more on 3g than on 2g, if you think its a problem. just increase the time to 30min or so.
Hi,
Got the xperia z(c6602) for 10 days now, and am little worried about the battery life, yesterday got the firmware update to bulid no 10.1.A.1.434.
and wanted to clarify whether the battery is working properly or not, I got 17hrs 30 mins from the battery with 3g on and in which the phone was not touched for 6hrs,( though is not kept in stamina mode) . Total screen time is roughly 2hrs 30 mins.. attaching pics of the battery stats.. What should be the total display time to drain the battery from 100% to 0%, and how to determine whether this battery is faulty or not

I cant even get such figures in my dreams, playing games is simply out of question, as it drains battery rapidly and google+ is already inactive in my ph. i have attached the pics to show what apps i had been using, simply used ph for checking emails and whatsapp. and screen time is 2hrs 30 mins.. brightness at 20% does it imply i have a faulty battery.
Iam sorry but, I do not think this is bad battery life.
2 hours onscreen 13,5 in stand-by 6 \ 7 % phone calls and your battery is still green.
Not to mention it seems like your 3G is on and you do not use stamina mode.
Kind regards, Stefan.
Does that mean that i have a faulty unit?
Should i take it to the sony service centre, for replacement. ? Need help..
Well no, not at all.
I think the battery life of your Xperia Z is acceptable.
To give you something to compare with:
My Xperia Z is on battery for 12hours and 42 min now.
Battery left: 51%
2hours and 12 min of this are on screen time.
Only use my signals when needed and I do use stamina mode.
Iam pretty sure if you manage you signals properly and use stamina mode you get aprox the same results.
Yours and mine do not differ to much.
Iam pretty sure you could drain any smartphone its battery within 5 hours of onscreen time.
This the Z gives me aprox 4 depending on what I do, Id say its acceptable.
Kind regards, Stefan.

If you install some kind of backgroud task killer your Z gets better results. I got mine with Du battery saver and dx toolbox and got it runnig for 1d16h26m, and it stays it got battery for 3 more days (stamina mode on, all Google backgroud apps, FB apps and a few more are dead ).
I do not want to use a task killer, but freeze apps I do not use using Titanium backup.
3 days standby is easy when you do not much with the phone yes.
I achieved this aswell, just saying 12 hours in standby with 2 hour of onscreen use and 51% left is not bad imo.
Kind regards, Stefan.

Don't think 4.2.2 is a saviour for the Z. Once my Nexus 4 got 4.2.2, battery life went significantly downhill...
I bought Sony Xperia somee 4-5 days ago
It's on stock android 4.1.2
I didnt installed much apps, but still there is huge battery drain.. cant even get a day through it..
it loses about like 5% for 10 mins use
I installed WLD..
here's a screenshot

I stopped sonyericsson.wake up after above conclusion
but i'm not sure whats eating up battery..
since above screenshot..i went down to 10% for listening to music for 40mins and 10mins whatsapping
really frustrated with battery.. please help what should i do..
should i upgrade to latest firmware or what.. I tried factory reset some 2 days ago..but its same..

Can you also give us screen of the battery usage.
Seems like the phone is going into deep sleep mode alrite.
Have tried enabling STAMINA mode?
Give us a screen of WLD with full battery usage. this is 2hrs in. WLD only tells us the wakelocks. not what apps are actively using the phone. i.e if you were playing say ex.FIFA for 20 mins that wouldnt show up here as it is not causing a wakelock as the phone is actively being used.
okie I did a full recharge..
disable auto sync,birghtness to low, stamina mode on [which shows 4 days 21 hours for 100% charged..it should be way more right??]] ,etc
just played a video for about 5 mins
and was trying to put On data connection (internet) for like15 or so mins...[internet wasnt connecting]
and phone was on standby for like 30 mins..
for this usage phone lost 12% of battery.. is this normal? if this goes on..it will reach 0% in about 6-7 hours...

hi there, hope i can help you
when you said that internet wasnt connecting, is it because you have no internet plans or you didnt have internet coverage? if the latter, i guess that's the main problem, as your hh is retrying connection all the time and not knowing you have no internet coverage..
in my xsp, battery drains to 0% in abt 12 hrs, with medium gaming use and full network connected (no wifi).. in wifi it goes longer, about 1 day
I have internet plan but somehow ticking on data plan for many times, there was no data connection
I've finally switched to other network (company)..
do you keep 2g/3g On in background all the time? i mean even when you are not browsing.. keeping it on just so to get notificaions if someone sends a message on whatsapp/fb?
so under these circumstances, how much long does battery holds?
any other customisations/settings done?

Looks like your battery drain is caused by your phone trying to connect repeatedly IMHO
That 12 hrs is the time with mobile data fully on and no stamina mode.. With stamina mode the battery holds longer, like 18 hrs..
Currently i'm experimenting with llama profiles to imitate stamina mode without losing the led functionality

Hellow I'm a happy owner of the xperia z for 10 days, but I'm facing fast battery drain when using the phone. When Im just browsing the phone, battery goes down 1% percent every 3~4 minutes... When gaming battery drops 2-3 % every 5 minutes. I need some help, I didnt charge the phone the first time for 8 hours, but i read it is not necessary. I'm rooted, 4.3 jb, doom kernel v21. I have deleted some of the bloatware and i don't have WiFi and data on all the time. Also media server sometimes goes up to 21% in battery usage.

That battery drainage seems normal to me. Playing games needs alot of battery. Battery usage depends on several things, how high is the screen brightness etc.. To your media server: are you listening to music with your phone? Or watching videos? All this is done by media server.

Some people are reporting 5 hours on screen time. If I game for one hour, i can barely get 3 hours on screen time. My usage is 30 minutes Web, music. For about one hour and a half, gaming 1 hour tops, and some browsing the phone.

Most times i close some, and.the phone is new.
1% every 3 minutes or so is not excessive drain. If you do the calculations, then that works out to 300 minutes to fully drain the battery, or 5 hours.
As the phone is new, it will take a few charge cycles for the battery to reach full capacity anyway, so see what the battery life is doing in a week or so.

As i know is not good to totally drain the battery. For example, i was talking to the phone and had wifi on right now, and my. Battery has gone down 14% in the last thirty minutes. My on screen time is at almost 2 hours, without gaming, and my. Battery level is at 43%
Edit i set screen brightness to 35%, my battery level is 41%. Sometines phone draws 1% every 2 and half minutes.
Yes, I know you shouldn't completely drain the battery. Total screen time calculations should be based on the full capacity though, or I could say I only get 1 hour screen on because I always recharge the battery at 80%! (I don't. It's an example).
Using the phone in different ways will drain the battery faster than others. The battery usage you described in your first post is not unusually high and will probably improve after a few charge cycles.

Okay, let's hope battery improves. Thanks for the info. No what I really wait for its kit kat official >
Hi all, bit of background, I had my Z3c for just over 2 years and 6 months, heard the news about the XZ1c and soon as it was out I jumped at the chance of buying it.
Sadly, I haven't bonded too well with it.
Compared to my Z3c the battery life hasn't been all that good even using stamina. That's with minimal screen on time too. My Z3c used to do almost 2 days, this I can get a day and that's barely! Greenify is in use to kill apps etc.
After a full charge with battery care enabled I'm losing a load of charge and God knows where...!
SwiftKey absolutely sucks on this phone unless I have stamina turned off.
Vibration is bad, I've had to turn it off on the keyboard.
I also want to find a way to mod the stamina mode 3 so it's device performance but kills data too just as per the Z3C.
I'll attach some screen shots too so you can see what I mean... Just a bit disappointed.
Your experience is similar to mine. I have about 30% left when the day is over and that is with having about 2-3 hours of screen time. I turned off the majority of location and updates and keep screen brightness to a minimum. Despite not being as good as what I was expecting, it's better than the Pixel I had before this phone which couldn't make it through my usual 16 hour day without being plugged in.
that an estimated time only, depending on your history use.
but yeah z3c was kinda king with battery... i dont think this one will be. Sna835 is powerefficientier but remember that apps will be alway hungrier too.
It's better than majority of phones on the market... I think the Z3C spoilt us though, it was definitely king, even at its age it still gives well over 36 hours use.
Im having a great time with my xz1c.
My first charge
My first full charge is pretty good 51 hours alive with 5,5 hours screen on time.
I have disabled vibrations when typing, manual screen brightness (most of the time set at about 1/3), sync on all the time, Wi-Fi and LTE enabled all the time
Use gmaps, chrome, played 1:40h heavy game... Im satisfied with it..
The only strange thing I see is high battery drop over night.
It goes more than 10%, I was hoping for 3%. Phone idle battery consumption is on top then. I hope it will change in the future ROMs.
Do you guys see it also?

you can limit an app on background and also limit its data use. make a test: close all aps overnight and see if it changes.

I'm gonna try this, as I'm also seeing a big battery drop overnight. My Z3c used to drop 2% overnight, this drops massively.
I think the stamina mode isn't the same as previous z compact phones. Really really struggling to bond with this phone man lol.

well see if there is app eating your battery in the battery stats. if yes than choose the option on the app to limit it on background. Dont forget to limit its data plan on background too in the data plan menu.
reboot the phone. close all aps and go to sleep.
tell us if something changed.

I've noticed that Google Play Services seems to get the hump if you have any extended stamina mode. When I check app battery usage with stamina mode on, GPS is one of the top users. But not there with stamina mode off. If fact stamina mode seems to use more battery than if its turned off. I need to do a few more charges to confirm.
Battery life is excellent btw, better than any phone I have had before. Regularly getting to three days of use.
I have power mode activated with zx1 compact I disable the vibration jacket and some useless application kindeXXX is still improved battery life

So it's been a few days! So far I've:
- Changed my SwiftKey setting to vibration off,
- stamina mode changes to performance orientated instead of battery life biased like before,
- auto brightness off
- Limited MANY app's background data and background running as above (cheers for that mate)
- priority mode on to alert me of important calls only, everything else just uses the notification light with no sounds.
I'm now finally, because of the above, beginning to see 2 days battery life almost 3 days last week!
Still more to do for good battery like instead of just stamina mode On like on the Z3C but hey I guess I can live with it!
So as happy as I am... Still can't get to the bottom of why it loses the first 10% so fast?! Check this out, taken off charge like just over an hour ago and I've lost 4% already!
From 80% onwards it lasts a good while but damn man why's it losing the initial 10% or so that fast?!
This is my battery life for the last few days, it's been good... But this is doing my head in, losing first 10%so fast...
... And I've lost another 2% since that last post! Ffs man.

Can you tell me what is the Firmware of your device ?
Lost 15% of the battery while my 10hr sleep today. Very strange. My Z3c used to eat no more than 3% without any limitations, closing apps or stamina mode.
