I use my z less often and if I play temple run for 5 minutes , it drains nearly 4% of the battery..is it normal? And it doesnt charge in half an hour as said n the box..even with phone switched off..
Others please post your battery status

I had a couple of 4hrs screen time (data only) on the last firmware but on. 434 i never have..max was 3hrs40 mins but note this was all data with no Wi-Fi whatsoever..
I love my XZ, BUT the terrible battery life is getting to me. I am not a heavy user but I don't make it to the end of the day. And then it takes forever and ever to charge.
I am very disappointed with the phone in that respect, and if I would have realized this before I bought it, I would have probably not bought this phone.
Good Sony good.

use Stamina mode
battery is still problem with all smartphones
S III worked even worse for me
it used 10% after full charging in standby mode after few minutes But
xperia Z s using 0 % in more than 2hrs in standby mode
try to manage ur background apps.
i recommend to use xperia app manager and don use another task manager and etc.
re: Battery
I have an Acro HD, Galaxy Note, Sharp SH003, Sony Mini, and the Z. I don't see that the Z's battery is all that worse than the others. I leave WiFi on all the time for all of them (so I don't need to pay or care about data plans...)
Specifically, I usually watch TV for an hour on the way to work and another hour on the way home (the hardware 1seg feature or Hulu type service).
I may play with it sometimes during the day. I leave Skype, Groove IP, and some Japanese VOIP apps running all day too, and I don't charge it until I get home.
Even so, I get home and my battery is over 40-50%.
So obviously it's not that bad.
The note is better because it has a bigger battery I think. The iPhone is better because.. well you can't *have* stuff like Skype run reliably in the background.
Of course according to Sony's white paper, the processor is quad core, but the cores are powered up and down as needed. If you play heavy games or something it may power up all four cores and kill the battery faster.
new experiment :
Phone is well and good in deep sleep.
I charged my battery to 100 yday night, and didnt use anything.it barely used power...now my battery is on 99 today morning
May be devs should include fast charge support and other battery tweaks to make it interesting..sony cant be very confident about their software and give us a low capacity battery..hope there ll b a battery wid good capacity available on ebay which we could replace..

I've just bought Xperia z and everything seems to work fine except the battery life..
The battery had obviously problems (discharging while charging and playing a game)
so I went back to the store and the next day after they checked it out they replaced it..
The 2nd one hasn't shown yet that kind of problems but..
Just to be cautious I did some kind of test myshelf:
I charged while it was off, then turned it on and opened only one app chrome and started surfing online with Wifi (3g/4G all closed and no call made).
And while I was surfing I took note of the battery percentage from time to time..
So this is my "timeline":
95% 11:05
90% 11:20
89% 11:23
88% 11:25
77% 12:00
73% 12:27
...
Does this battery consumption looks normal? ( no other app except chrome and no external apps were installed)

1 1/2 hour of screen on losing about 20 percent of battery seems pretty normal to me.
Edit: i think its better than normal. I usually get less than 1 1/2 hour per 20 percent. Usually get 1 hour to 1 1/4 .
get betterBatteryStats !
The average screen on time is about 4hours. So you do the math. Looks pretty normal to me.

take note of your screen brightness, that one seems normal for an xperia z
Xperia Z drinks the battery pretty quick - I don't know however, if it's more power greedy than HTC One or Galaxy S4.
For the same reason do I have an external battery from Anker. It keeps my Z charged when I'm on the road.

Thats normal while browsing the web on wifi. The normal screen time while browsing on the xz is around 4hours with auto brigthness with no mods like lower voltage, etc.
I did find that dolphin browser is a little more battery friendly than chrome but even then dont expect much more out of the xz screen time on browsing web or watching movies or gamming.
the xperia z battery just sucks

"discharging while charging and playing a game" this is normal since Xperia charger is not that powerfull, you need 2 amp charger to do that (but it is not healthy for the phone, even xperia charger is not healthy enough)
Your timeline looks normal, surfing the web is not a simple task, there is a part when: cpu eats a lot of energy, gpu eats a lot of energy and screen and wifi module...

by my experience - Xperia Z battery is very good - the part that sucks is the problem of all batteries in the world which is not a battery itself - the problem is with power consumption, even when we reach a technology were batteries get 10x more power, someone will think - i know - lets put 10x more transistors in the cpu...

I always get more than 4 hours of screen on and can't really compare to other flagships as they have bigger battery than the Z except for HTC one.

Hey,
I would like to ask for advice.
I have had an Xperia Z for almost a month and the battery seems to be faulty:
It lasts few hours with a very little usage.
I attach the screenshots of battery panel.
I should recur to assistance or not?

Hi all, thinking of buying this 'Exceptional Phone' My brother has a Moto G, and I noticed how much better the battery was as compared to my Nexus 4. If anyone here has bought the phone, could they please specify/make a comment on the battery life? I know you guys musn't have had it a long time, but seeing it's a 5" screen with 2070mah, I'd like to know whether it's around the same/better/worse as compared to the old Moto G. Any Screen on Times under Battery Info will be much appreciated, thanks

Hi, I am from India,
About Moto G 2nd gen 2014,
In India phone is available through flipkart only :silly:
ppl on flipkart review section,
complaining about charging time to get 100% charged, which is 3hrs+
so few points are noted as :
1. wall mount charger shipped with this phone heats up like a molten rock.
2. there is no data cable in the box.
3. few reported that they smelled something like plastic is burning.
4. battery last for 12hrs max on wifi use. i.e. twice a day charging
Is anyone here has the same experience?

->i didn't face heating issues of charger
->cable wasn't there even in previous moto g..
->no smell
->u cannot expect more from a 2070mah battery as the screen is now 5inch..if u go out in the morning with full charge..u can easily end it up till night with normal usage..

what about call quality?
is it too loud? that person nearby you can hear what conversation is going? also when volume is lowed?
NOTE : I haven't bought moto g or moto g 2nd gen, yet or haven't placed the order for it, it will be my 1st motorola mobile, as it is not available in store to check or non of my friends had any, so I am inquiring about it before ordering it.
Charger heats up a little for me. Not as much as you said though. No smell either. No complaints about battery life. Lasts a day on normal usage (had almost full wifi) just fine.

Well,
After using the phone for 6 days, I just got the feeling that the battery is quite average.
Yes, the charger supplied with the phone phone takes more than 3.5 hours to fully charge the battery.
No smell, no overheating of charger.
There is one major issue with the battery is that it drains like a hell during nights even on Airplane mode.
I experienced battery drains of 10-15% over a period of 8 hours during nights with Wi-Fi, GPS and mobile data all OFF.
This is terrible :crying:
After searching thru threads, I found out that the issue may with drivers of GPS and Wi-Fi. It requires constant re-booting of phone after usage of Location services and/or Data Services.
Let's hope Motorola fixes these issues in their update..

Not necessarily. I have like max 3 or 4 percent drain at night, sometimes with WiFi on. The problem maybe that yours doesn't goto deepsleep. Some apps maybe preventing if.

This will depend on where you are. In the US, the phone ships with only a data cable, no charger. At least that was the case with the first gen; however, some mobile companies had models that did ship with only a charger, no cable.
I'm guessing the included charger is designed for 110V optimal, but works at 220V (but gets over-warm).

You aren't in a roam or marginal mobile coverage area are you. I found my first-gen G drained about twice as fact if it was searching for signal or roaming.

I am using this phone from 6 days. i can say Moto G 2nd gen.'s battery life is awesome. it takes approx 3hrs to charged full battery. and runs almost for 20 to 22 hours. I suggest you all to buy Moto G 2014.
Hi,
I have moto g 2014 since 9-September.
I must say that the battery is good. You must use a low "a" charguer (1 A) and do 2 or 3 full cycles.
After that i achieve between 3-4 hours with average usage.
I have motorola assist disabled.
In the first 2 days i had troubles with signal, it seems to be Sim related. I changued the sim to 2nd port and is working well now.
I'm from Spain sorry for my bad english.

I am having the EXACT same problems as quoted above..
If I remove the shell, the phone smell like the battery is burning inside.
The charger hears up quite a bit, although not as much as a molten rock.
The phone is taking 3 hours + to charge.
My phone was delivered 2 days ago and I'm already facing this problem.
Do I have to ask for a replacement?
Kindly suggest.
So, i bought XP few weeks ago, comming from z3.
I am very disappointed from the battery, compared to z3.
Want to ask you how many SOT you have, cos when i'm outside using lte i barely make like 3,5 SOT. Even dont have facebook app to drain the battery.
For 5min telegram chat it goes down with 2%.
Thats why wanted to ask you guys hows your battery life because i'm starting to thinking that my device is faulty or deffect.
Please share your thoughts on that, for 4 hours from 100 it went to 75now with only 30mins SOT
Might be a factory defect, my Xperia x performance always reaches a little bit over 5 hours of screen on time.
Have you seen details on battery usage?
Anyway, I can say that battery lives on Z3+,Z5,Z5 Premium are no match for Z3. See battey test on GSMARENA and you will see that XP got a lot less number compare to Z3 as well.
Yeah, sure its 400mah difference between z3 and xp, but still i think something is wrong, may be on wi fi only i can make 4,5-5h SOT but on lte, impossible.
Here some screenshots from today, took it around 9am from the charger

It doesn't have the WiFi bug that the xa had on release by any chance. Not letting the device reach sleep properly, workaround is to turn off scanning always available inc when screen is off in settings WiFi advanced. It's since been fixed on the xa with a update appently, I'm still waiting on the update to hit the UK

When i browse the web, or just chat it goes down very fast, draining as hell. Phone gets warm only from browsing and chat, here is 35degrees, but still i'm not using it against the sun, even now since i type this it went with 1% down from the beginning of the post writing wich is basically 2-3mins.
So when i use the phone w screen on then its the draining. My wi fi is off now i'm outside
Many people suffer battery drain from Google service (especially when they're using WiFi). However, I dont see anything suspicious from your picture except your signal strength. Very low signal strength would drain your battery real fast as well. I suggest you turning off cellular signal for a day, use only WiFi, and then see your battery consumptiom at the end of the day.
Another thing I would like to mention is battery capacity. Z3 and Z3+ has battery different of 150 mAh but from my personal experience Z3+ would last around 60% of what Z3 could. Its not only about battery itself, its also about what Sony managed on the kernel level to optimize power consumption. Sody has done very bad on this since snapdragon 810 era.
I made a soft reset, will see if there is any difference afrer 2-3 charging cycles.
Another thing is i'm living in Bulgaria, here my operator just introduced the LTE, so the network i s*** may be thats the case will listen to your advice. And try 1day without a cellular.
5 hours of almost continuous use, some of them using battery intense apps and games like Pokémon Go, most of it just reading stuff on Chrome at 50% screen illuminating consumes around 50% of battery for me. So if you're losing 98% charge iin 5 minutes, your phone probably suffers from some kind factory defect.
In 5-6 mins use SOT(browsing and checking instagram i'm loosing exactly 1-2% if i'm outside lets say 3%max if the screen need to be full brightness, hows yours?
Dont play pokemon, even dont have fb app, only instagram, shazam, telegram, viber and whatsapp and chrome.

Go to settings location tap the three dots top right then turn both the sliders to the off position WiFi and Bluetooth are scanning in the background even if they are both turned off in main settings. Makes a huge difference to the battery life on my xa.

Thanks, but allready done that, maximum i achieved 3h 38m SOT from 9am till 11pm, with LTE mostly, on wi fi i believe i can make 4hours SOT
I think battery capacity is the culprit that 400 is a big difference i used z5 premium and i got 4hrs sot only they should put there 3000 to 3200 mah on 5 inch screen Hope they fix their design im starting to dislike sony
I am testing as well at the moment. I hardly manage to get through the day. I am still investigating as it is quite hard without root. That was yesterday.

I couldn't agree more Ice! I too came from a Z3, and the battery life on my XP is really disappointing. The 2 day battery life promise DIED IMO when the Z series ended. These new batteries suck. lol Way too small. The XP I saw was rated as having the WORST battery life of any 2016 flagship (even less than XZ's) AND the longest charging time. Kind makes me wish I'd waited for the XZ. lol Or just got the HTC 10 maybe, which lasts 70 minutes longer than the XP can. But XP and XZ have the better camera, so tough call. Camera or battery life? If HTC 11 bumps up the camera (10's was very good to great but XP's is excellent) another notch over 10, I may be switching back to HTC (used to have the One M8).
I have uninstalled or disabled the majority of bloatware including the Facebook app, but still. One day 6 weeks ago I had to leave early so was on a train by 6am. Even after enabling Stamina Mode and turning off phone 2-3 times over the day, by like 8 or 9pm that night, I was down to 5%! That is awful man. lol I'm really getting fed up with Sony and their BS, even though I do love my phone overall. But battery life is a major factor for me, as is camera and performance.

I couldn't agree more Ice! I too came from a Z3, and the battery life on my XP is really disappointing. The 2 day battery life promise DIED IMO when the Z series ended. These new batteries suck. lol Way too small. The XP I saw was rated as having the WORST battery life of any 2016 flagship (even less than XZ's) AND the longest charging time. Kind makes me wish I'd waited for the XZ. lol Or just got the HTC 10 maybe, which lasts 70 minutes longer than the XP can. But XP and XZ have the better camera, so tough call. Camera or battery life?

I hope they do Ice, but I have little faith a software update is gonna make any real difference vs. the other 2016 flagship competition. And if it does, it will probably improve the competition's battery life too..............aka, very little difference. But I'll take whatever they can give me I guess. Not even sure if I will still be with Sony next year. DEF keeping my eyes on LG and HTC, who both currently have better battery life too than the XP and even the XZ (and lower charging times too).
Well, what's sad is despite the XZ's larger battery capacity, it's STILL only the SECOND worst on battery life vs. the 2016 flagship competition's, right behind the XP. lol I believe it only has like 30-40 min over the XP at best. Where the HTC 10 for example has a solid 70 min over the XP. And that's still on the low end, but at least there's a lot LESS BS when it comes to HTC phones than Sony's (though Sony's still have the slightly better camera, but that may not be the case with the 11 next year). And the audio quality and volume of the 10 def seems superior to what Sony is giving us these days vs. the competition. 2 years ago, it was much more equal, but in 2016, HTC took a big step forward while Sony seems to have taken 1-2 steps back. See my threads on Head-Fi for more on that (if you wish) here and here.
as it has a bright screen, I find that using a black theme and customize as much apps to black helps. Normally it can last a full day and it will have 30 percent left. I'm not a heavy user though.
Guys tell me about the battery i want this phone but i need battery that last at least full day sorry for my bad english
