I have changed my firmware from 10F to 10H as I heard that it is much better. I rooted it and then reset it to factory settings and I deleted some of the bloatware. I used LG gearbox and set the CPU speed to 1000mhz on two cores and used this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048315
In additions, I installed fast dormancy toggle from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021248
I charged my battery full to 100% and then unplugged it left it unattended while I went to sleep, wifi and auto sync was switched on and gps,location . My screen display is set to automatic. After 10hours 51 mins I lost 10% so it dropped from 100% to 90% I did not use any screen at that time as I was asleep. After that amount of time I used the phone went on youtube for around 30 mins as it says screen time 35 mins and so the battery dropped to 77%. I browsed the internet a bit further and still carried on youtube after another 20 mins (56 mins) the battery dropped to 68%. When the battery had dropped to 59% I roughly had around 1 hour 20 mins on automatic screen display settings but at this stage, as I used the phone more, the android system had went to the top. Sometimes when I just browse my phone, and just go on facebook and check email the battery % can drop very quickly like 1% every 3 mins, is this normal. I hardly use the screen that much. On the iphone 5 if you use the screen for like 5-6 hours browsing, playing games etc the battery would just drop to only 50%. Some people in this forum are saying that they are only loosing 10% per day, and per sleep they are only loosing like 3% if not then 0%. Is my battery normal running normal?

It's the kernel released by LG, so it's the original kernel...
"Stock kernel" means it's the standart kernel you have on your device from the beginning...

Looks normal to me.
Don't forget that using wi-fi, and specialy on youtube "drain" some battery. Not only
because of screen quality but also the amount of data that you "download", specialy
if you select best quality videos on your settings.
Facebook is kind of a drainer too, specialy if you have notifications ON, update for 30min. and location service ON too (activates GPS)...
I can tell you that could be better but also that could be worse... depends of what you need to be running in background or not.
What apps you need or not.
Don't believe on everything that people says... some had deleted almost all the apps, others say the battery lasts for days but, the phone spend 90% of the battery life in deep sleep...
O4X have some nice features, like high quality screen and all that cost something, that something is battery
A weak network signal or several signals, that make the phone change or look for signal constantly, also contributes for battery drain...
But your battery life looks pretty normal to me
Folks,
Can anyone suggest how much battery life they are getting on their device. Not sure it is a common problem or my device is defective.
It stays on for only 3 to 4 hours and dies, i.e. just a couple of messages and emails (albeit on 100% brightness and NOT on Stamina mode). Is it normal. Brightness to be kept on auto?
If I play video or so, battery goes from 100 to 10% in about 1 hour maximum.
Have juice defender installed. Also a task killer (which kills the background ones and they restart on their own). But not so much help though.
Any suggestions?

Try the battery guru snapdragon app,which works well for me.

Get rid of juice defender, reduce brightness to 75% on usual daily use, and you should get around 4 to 5 hours screen on time, and up to 24 hours standby time.

snapdragon guru is not available for all region But lemme know about ur kernel and model; c6602 OR c6603?
little working with xZ just uses less than 20% in 24hrs
with 50% brightness & Stamina On
Xperia z is either having a software or hardware problem
I use a note 10.1 for two months and did gaming all the time with 3g on but it lasted for two days without charging. But the Z cant even handle 15 minutes of gaming. It goes down from 71% to 62% IN 15 MINUTES. I expected the update would fix the problem. But I dont see any difference. I was so curious with the Z. But I doubt that now. Is the fate of Sony going to be that of like Toyota.

why are you comparing note 10.1 to the sony xperia z are you nuts
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_10_1_n8000-4573.php
your comparing a 7000 mah battery to a 2330 mah you have to be mad to think your going to get the same performance out of the two. i swear some people are full of crap
It's not bad at all.
In the second image, the on screen time was 4 hours. Plus I used out for about 3 our 4 hours of calls.

Reduce the brightness, using 100% is madness.
Root and install greenify then get rid of task killer and juice defense

On 100% brightness I wouldn't expect much more.
From experience I set my screen brightness to about 25%, which is more than enough for normal use indoors. If I need to use the phone outdoors or in sunlight I'll put the brightness up but it always goes back to 25% when I'm indoors again.
The only sync I have on mine is my Google account, everything else is set to manually refresh only.
On my 3rd day of owning the phone I had 24h+ of use from it, and that's still improving. My battery is on about 60% at the moment after 18 hours. If I turn on Stamina Mode it predicts another 2 days!
However, if I was watching videos at 100% screen brightness, I wouldn't expect much more than an hour or two. Horses for courses.
Not Normal

Your situation is not normal. Maybe the battery life on the Xperia Z sucks. Maybe it's all about managing your apps and stuff - but no. Not that much. Playing video shouldn't drain the battery 90% in an hour. I play streaming video over WiFi for 2 hours a day (boring train ride) and leave WiFi on and Stamina mode off all day. Maybe when I get home at the end of the day the battery is at like 30% and maybe I don't play with the phone much once I get to work - but video kills the battery in an hour? Not if it's hardware accelerated video.
I al sure some people will say "See what is running in the background", but I am not sure you would be able to drain your battery that fast even running like @home stuff.
After a few charge and when the battery is season it will be okay
charging
how long does it take to charge this phone? 0-100%

Random issue...
As soon as my handset reaches 14% (first low battery warning) the battery will die literally within 2 minutes...
I have watched the % drop like a rock...
Running uk ee .290 unrooted
I've run a battery health test and it comes back as good and doesn't need changing?!

charge it upto 100%
let it die (turn off when it hits 0%)
charge it again fully
and let it die again
this should force calibration
Xperia devices automatically my calibrate the battery, sometimes the kernel bugs and doesn't calibrate right
in realy rare cases you get a battery that says 100% but is realy actualy around 20% or less

check to see any apps is running in the setting, most likely should be Google related apps, such as Google+
My Z1 seems to lose the first 10% of a full 100% charge in about 1 hour with little to no use but after that its perfectly fine.
Battery life in general is very good. first phone ive had in about 6 years which can last me 48 hours without charge
EE UK as well
Sounds like a rogue app, remove anything you don't need, avoid adverts in apps, always do a full wipe when flashing a new rom regardless of base, get better battery stats and track down the rogue app, probably a wakelock.
Use greenify to shut apps up, autostarts is decent too.
Having a tonne of accounts on your phone and apps like viber and skype always logged in will munch the battery.
Switch off wireless controls when not in use and lower your brightness down to around half.
A few power cycles of the battery might help too, also don't overcharge, ever
reboot phone then open the service menu (*#*#service#*#*)

Hi all,
I have a att HTC one m7 running sixth sense with the stock kernel. Just checking on my battery life. With power saver on and brightness set to minimum with location off and LTE on, I have 2:41 screen on time with 36% left in the tank. I bought my phone August last year. Is this normal battery life?
Basically no, what's hogging up your battery life? (Any apps running in the background for example?)
Well gsam says apps are using 57.5% with screen using 34%. The top offenders in apps are chrome at 12%, system... At 9.3%, and android system also at 9.3%, and kernel at 5.6%.The HTC battery utility says android system is using 80% in app usage
I have been looking at this forever now... its this keep alive sob. a lot of people is having this issue
Well the official sense 6 update will be coming out soon, I'll update to that. Think that will fix the issue?
i already updated to sence 6, nope.
this is my phone's normal activity, when no app is running in the back ground.
If you go into Power > History - is your awake bar almost solid color? Looks like some app or setting won't let the phone go to Deep Sleep, causing battery issues.
After converting back to stock with power saver on and brightness set to low, I'm at 3 hours screen on time with 48% left. Is this more normal?

Depends on what programs did you use and if you had Wifi/Mobile internet connection. As always, showing screens from a battery app (GSAM/BBS) makes it much easier to decide.
For example on WiFi the longest screen on time I had was 6Hrs 16 mins with 23% left - I watched 3 movies in a day with headphones.
But usually I am getting 2-3 hours screen on per charge if I use my phone "normally" and not watching movies.
Hey guys, I've seen posts about people getting amazing battery life, both on stock and on a custom rom. I can never seem to get the same results, whatever I do. Sometimes, I'll toggle a setting and I'll see improvements for a day or two, then it goes back. Even more frustrating is there have been times when I turn the setting back to what it was and see improvements. It was like this for a while, but recently I've kinda gotten stuck with ~15 hours from 100% to 10% and nothing seems to change it. I have location on device only (its for weather, battery saving seems to be worse because Google services just syncs all the time and eats battery) and mobile data on. I've disabled pretty much every Verizon app and I just use moto display and the sleep thing. What else can I do to get better battery life short of a custom rom? The only reason I won't do a custom rom is because my parents won't let me spend $25 on sunshine, whether it's their money or mine.

I exactly get the same results as you. I'm on stock and disabled all verizon apps. A help could be really nice.
Keep in mind that battery life varies GREATLY upon usage. I can kill my battery in a matter of a few hours or have it last for nearly a week. Sync frequency, sleep time, connectivity, refresh settings, screen brightness, CPU usage, vibration on/off, number of wake locks...I can go on and on.
For example, I had my S4 last 5 days before it dropped to 80%, as you can imagine I didn't use it much. However, that same phone died in probably 3-4 hours on me also.
What matters most is if you have more battery life than your previous phone. Never compare your battery life to others.

I included some usage statistics in the ingur link. A lot of battery seems to be used by Android os and android system. Is there anything I can do to lower this?

What do you have your screen brightness set to? Your phone looks completely normal in terms of battery usage (Android/Google will always use a couple percentage).
Try turning off adaptive brightness and putting your device to the lowest brightness you can stand, that should add at least another hour or two depending on your current settings. 3 hours of SoT over a days usage with what looks like moderate use (YouTube, Messaging, etc.) isn't too bad for this phone.

Thanks for the advice! I guess I was expecting too much out of this phone Oh well, i'll just wait until i can get $25 in amazon or google play gift cards to pay for sunshine so i can get computerfreak's rom.
I am on CF's latest ROM and I'll say my battery life improved compared to stock, but not by much. I may get 6 hours SoT but my battery is down below 20% by the end of the day, and that is if I avoid playing games. Playing games all bets are off, the battery runs out quick.
There are some out there saying they get 8+ hours SoT and 48+ hours between charges. I call BS on that unless you are running minimum brightness and not doing any syncing or anything location based, and possibly even turning off cell data. Showing off with pictures of their battery stats and not telling the whole story.

If you unlock with Sunshine and install RR, you can use the custom kernel to tweak the CPU and GPU frequency to save battery life.
Additionally, there are other ways to save battery, like adjusting the pixel density and colors. (At least I think so?)
Greenify also helps. I think that is available for non-root as well.
Also, check your wake time. If always awake, could be the Google services running constantly trying to update.
There is an app to fix that, but I think it requires root.
