I recently noticed that my standby battery drain is a lot worse than when I just got my Z1. Checked battery stats and saw that the android os process is keeping my phone awake for hours. Also, I think my stamina mode has stopped working, because before, and just like my tablet z, when u unlock the screen, i usually notice data is off for a sec, then it comes on. I don't notice that anymore. Any ideas why. Thanks.

Reboot your phone as far the Android OS battery drain goes and for me it stops usually... As for the stamina mode, if you allow apps to still work in the background in stanima mode,it will still show wifi icon...

Hi all,
I have Stamina Mode active on my Z however it doesn't seem to be doing a good job of stopping persistent apps that keep the device awake even when the screen is off.....
Is there a method to force stop them without uninstalling the apps?
It's really draining my battery.
If you have root try Greenify

Dear all
Try many many times finding battery drain in flight mode when I am using 3G and turn on flight mode directly then go sleep.
Everytime drains battery over 10% when overnight. Anyone has the same problem???
If I am using WIFI and turn on flight mode directly then it goes fine.(2% drains overnight)

3G/2G data drains battery better than WIFI! and wifi consumes less battery and so is the drain! and the drain even in flight mode might be due the the Android OS and may also be coz the 3rd part apps!
Better u try Stamina Mod Bro.. It will help during night sleep...
I had the same issue, that over night in flight mode my SP battery lost nearly 20 %. Happend only two times.
Don't know why it stopped...
Now my battery drain in flight mode over night is around 8%-10%...from my point of view that's too much

of course. 2% is normal.
Has anyone else this problem? Or a solution?
Perhaps I have to return it and get a new one...

It's a software problem. If you use BetterBatteryStat. you will see alarmmanager is always be triger by Facebook/Line/or some app.
that's why battery drain.
Hey,
Thanks for your answer.
Where exactly can I see this in betterbatterystats? So it's no hardware problem?

try to stop com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup
or uninstall fast-dormancy-wakeup.apk
but first thing is root your device then you can do.
can anyone tell me the on screen time battery life?
very very bad battery life, 2% per hour with less than 10 seconds on screen time
bluetooth, wifi, data, gps, auto sync all OFF
rooted, only bbs installed
factory wiped over 10 times
superstamina xssm wakelock still there
I'm fed up a bit for my Z3 C battery life. This is my second query regarding battery life.
Does keeping Mobile data and Whatsapp running ON even in standby mode drains the battery??
I usually get just 1 or 2 whatsapp messages in an hour or two.
My phone settings-
Always turned off my wifi/ bt/ nfc/ gps/ location tracking/ autoupdates etc. & everything you can think and suggest.
Use only stock custom wallpaper and no live stuff. No widgets. No sd card inserted. With only two hoemscreen wih just 2 shortcuts on each screen.
Have disabled apps which I dont use.
Stopped services of apps which are no longer needed.
No auto sync enabled for any app.
Display brightness is at 30% all times.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
I use only these 3rd party apps-
Status bar mini
Network monitor mini
Whatsapp
Greenify
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
My daily Z3 routine-
At night while going to sleep I turn off mobile data, turn on airplane mode and turn on stamina mode. (12:30am - 9:30am)
When I wake up the next day battery is down by 4-5%.
During day, phone runs in normal mode without any stamina activated. (10am - 12:30am)
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
The Low-battery mode seems useless as it does literally nothing.
Also, as soon as the battery is 100% charged and if I use phone for even 5 mins the battery immediately drops to 99%, so is this normal??
Even if I capture 5 photos in stock auto mode the battery drops by 1% or 2.
I reboot my phone once a week or in 10 days or when need arises.
Ram utilised is always 1gb. But I dont feel any slowness for any app or my phone usage.
But again I dont watch any movies or play games fearing my battery will deplete in no time.
I use 2G/edge network as 3G isnt available for my operator in the city I reside.
Charging the phone to 100% from 14% takes 3 to 3.5 hours.
I have already repaired my phone using Sony pc companion and also did a factory reset as well but this issue has been haunting me every now and then.
Sony center says the battery doesnt need any replacement as its still healthy and so is my device.
The phones service menu also reports battery status as Good.
I dont know when is Lollipop gonna be out for Z3 but I fear updating to Lollipop as it may pose more issues than doing any good apart from usual gui tweaks & updates.
But just wish that lollipop brings in more relief to Z3 batteries.
It would be better if you also posted some screenshots with your battery usage.

EVERYTHING drains battery, literally everything. If your volume is on max it also drains more then when your volume is very low. (Just an example)
There is a controversy when it comes to WiFi vs 3G which drains more.
In the end I think that it depends on the coverage. For me 3G/4G drains my battery less then my WiFi due to the poor WiFi reception.
That your phone loses about 5% over night really isn't THAT bad, what I do before I go to bed is "Close all" to close all the aps running in the background (It won't terminate WhatsApp's service) and I let Greenify hibernate all programs that I selected.
There was also a talk about charging your phone to 100% vs 99% the first percentage drains fast for everyone so that's why it's maybe better to only charge it till 99%.
With screenshots of your battery usage we could help you more, but as far as I can see there is nothing wrong with your battery.
If you're rooted, try BetterBatteryStats to pinpoint the drain.

Well my device isnt rooted nor I use any wifi.
And also I use Greenify to shutdown all apps before sleeping and also I do manual force stop for many other apps as well.
Hello, I'm new here. Coming from a Galaxy Nexus, and I'm impressed with this device already.
My question is if it's normal that battery drains around 4 or 5 % over night. I always turn off data, wifi, put it on airplane mode. I also disabled active display, the camera gesture thing and the voice commands.
I think it should be 0% drain :/

Zero drain is pretty much impossible unless you turn it off or own an old school Nokia

(Guessing 8 hours of sleep.) .5-.6 % per hour is great for this phone.
With data (not wifi), active display, gestures and voice commands turned on, plus a few root level changes like greenify, xposed amplify and freezing apps, I achieve around 1 % per hour at idle on stock 4.4.4. This usually equates to around 3 days standby and 1.5 hours of screen time for me.
(I am now testing lollipop... I'm at 1.5 days with 1.5 hours screen time, longer than normal talk time and 30% battery remaining.)
I don't even make it to a day lol. Usually I've to charge at night and then around 7 pm
Here is my sleep running r12 kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59527748&postcount=811 And I don't turn on airplane mode or anything. That is just screen off.
Same problem here (Android 4.4.4, rooted).
Battery drain in flight mode (additionally also tried Moto Voice off, Active Display off, Data off, GPS off without any positive effects) is nearly the same as over the day when using the phone.
The fact that "Stand by" has 25% of all battery usage is a little bit perverted
I'm really happy with Moto X' battery consumption over the day. Normally I have to charge it every second night. But putting to flight mode at 56% when going to sleep and not charging it and finding it at 40% the next morning is kind of frustrating
Install Bettery Guru from Qualcomm, from play store if you run 4.4.x or download the apk from somewhere if you run 5.1+. It will help you reduce the standby drain.

Hmm...doesn't seem to do anything more that I and Tasker do: Deactivate WLAN, Data & Co.
But okay...I'll try that out
From my experience the Motorola SoC has a abnormal high Standby battery drain. You can try whatever you want but you will not get below a certain level like on other phones. Perhaps the contextual cores are never turned off no matter if you use the feature or not, i don't know. At least it gets me trough a day...

Not really, check the screenshot below. For 10hrs ide, it drained 2-3% witch is perfectly normal.
1 square = 1hr
Under power management > stamina Mode > extended usage. Is anyone noticeing Amy difference to when it's off? I'm running. 242 lollipop 100% stock. With it off get about 6-6.5hrs screen on time. With it on I don't notice any difference sometimes it might actually b about 4.5hrs.

stamina mode is for when you don't use your phone, it disables connections and autoupdate for apps but not for the apps you put in exceptions. So that means that if you use your phone from 100% to 0% without interruption you really won't notice any difference, while in standby there is a big difference. for example during the night with stamina mode on my phone goes down by only 1% and around 5% if it is off.
you can still receive msges from whatsapp, viber, whatsapp ecc in stamina mode if u put those apps in exceptions. so my advice, use the stamina mode
only time you would consider to disable it, is when you tether your connecion throught bluetooth as the stamina mode disable connections while in standby it won't work well for bluetooth tethering
Extended usage is for when your actually usi g your phone. It's suppose to slow your phone down a little to give a bit more battery. Your talking about extended standby. Get Me?

as long as i know it doesn't slow your phone anyway when you use it. It works only when the phone is in standby. if you get less screen on time with stamina mode on, then i think it is bugged for you. With stamina mode on you should get more or at least the same screen on time.
To see if stamina mode is working ok, let your phone not in charge over 1 night with stamina mode on and check how much battery it used, and then 1 night still while not charging with stamina mode off. As i said with stamina mode on it should use around 1% while with stamina mode off it should use more, like 5% or more. If there is no difference then you have a bug
