Any solutions with this battery issue?
My phone never gets 100% charged.
Charging only stops at 80%.
Tried repairing it with sony pc companion but still got the problem.
Plug into the charger when the phone is shutdown. It will appear a battery icon, just leave it for 1 day then start the phone up
If that not work, fully discharge the phone (0%) then charge when shutdown (1 DAY)....
Use Flashtool to reflash complete FTF to see if is ROM problem....
If non of the that done, you might consider to go to sony service...

Dude.. I had the same problem as you. Please try this before you take it to the service centre or install any custom roms. I used this method, it's very simple. I kid you not, I have a Z1 as well, C6902.
All I did was switch off my phone with the charger still plugged in and let the phone charge properly. Mine used to get stuck at 78% but now it charges properly till 100%. I guess the problem might have been because I used to use the phone a lot even while charging, like playing graphically intensive games, streaming youtube videos through 3G, etc.
I'm starting to treat this phone like a jewel now, lol. I love this phone

Use the phone to 10-15% then turn off and plug in to charger (the phone still turn off). When it charge done (dont unplug the phone) turn it on, use Battery Calibration tool

I'm on the Fasty 2.3 rom and I just cant seem to go more then 12 hours on battery life even on light useage. The only thing I keep on is my 3g service, which is all the time. I've also tried using battery calibrationaters (lol) and none of them seem to calibrate my captivate.. I think. What's a good app to monitor my battery and also an app to help me calibrate my battery in case I'm doing it wrong somehow?
I calibrate by charging to 100% and then rebooting my phone but my phone seems to drain at the same speed no matter what I do. I installed Fasty from stock also.

Remove the battery and put it back say about after 15/20 mins, This has helped some members to solve this issue. Just give it a try.

Lol, I've been reading and I guess there's a bug with the Android OS or something and it'll run high if your phone is on for a long time. The fix is just to restart.

That did it! I charged my phone up to 100% then i calibrated it. Shut off my phone, took that battery out, grabbed a plate of food and decided to watch Despicable Me, finished my meal and then put the battery back and now my phone is at 67% after 18 hours!
Great, Thats amazing 67 after 18 good going mate.
my system consumes much battery life up to 70%,how to reduce this issue.Thanx alot

Hi there,
I had the same problem, really bad battery life (maximum of 8 hrs).
I am a heavy user, using my data connection all the time and reading stuff on public transport.
I just rooted my o4xhd and callibrated my battery yesterday evening.
Today, i still have 57% battery, after 7hrs.
I am really happy it worked!
Still i wonder because i bought the phone new just one week ago.
Does this mean the battery stats were wrongly callibrated already from the manufacturer???

You should really try to callibrate the battery, after rooting.
Read my Previous post, it really helped me!
The last firmware disables some of the active threads. It's.. difficult to figure out which of the included apps don't go inactive, so the cpu idles, and so on. I mean, you could disable all of them, and just load the apps when you need them instead. But it's a bit overkill - and they did good work on the last update.
Hello,
I am thinking about calibrate the battery and use an app called Juice Defender. Is it a good ideia ? Will I get a better battery life ?

Since yesterday my phone gets really hot while charging.
Both a standard charger and a USB connection to my laptop have this eeffect.
The only thing i can think of that i did, was an update of NFC software from playstore.
I have removed all NFC software and will test again tonight.
Anyone else with similar problems?

Don't bother. It is normal for phones to get hot while charging, especially when you are running heavy programs and Wi-Fi.
My phone did reboot once due to overheating. No big deal really.

I also wi'll be looking for it. I'll advertise you if I find the solution before.
There are two possible solutions. First of them is to root your device in order to underclock the CPU to 1,2 Ghz. You won't notice any performance decrease but a considerable heat disminution. The other one solution is to unlock your SP's bootloader, rooting it and install a kernel compatible with undervoltage. Then, undervolt it.
I hope this may help you.
Cheers!
Could NFC be the problem?
First off, thanks everyone for your reactions.
I am a bit dissapointed by the reaction from Sony:
If the battery gets around 60°C or more, you are right to be worried. Try to keep the battery temperature beneath 50°C for a healthy battery life, there are apps and widgets on the Play Store which can measure the temperature.
Make sure there aren't too many demanding apps running in the background, try closing some apps and see what impact it has on the phone (charging or not)
My problem seems solved however. I remembered giving OK to an NFC software update the previous day.
So what i did was undelete NFC software and do a cold reboot.
My battery drainage is back to normal (meaning LOW) and no heatproblems anymore.
Furthermore the heat semmed to be worst arounf the NFC contact area.
Since this is a company phone i cant fool arounf with it to much.
I am curious to know if anyone has had the same experience?
Thanks all and Bye

I don't think you quite understand this app.
That time up top that I'm pretty sure you're reading isn't your wakelock time (in fact, your wakelock time seems to be pretty low as far as power consumption goes). It's the amount of time that the app has detected you've been off the wall (since it doesn't record statistics until you go off the wall).
Your battery life is basically at the upper ceiling of someone using a smartphone as a smartphone. I don't quite see why you're still complaining about battery life, especially after people pointed out you were fine in your last thread on this.

30% drain over 11 hours? With 1 hour screen time? Your awake time is literally like 2 mins more than your screen time. There us NOTHING wrong with your battery stats or your battery life.
Unless you're using your phone in Airplane mode and disabling Google Now.

yeah its awful! its my favorite feature that i miss using a lot!! hopefully google can fix the huge battery drain and optimize ambient display so that it doesnt use that much battery. im not sure why it would use so much battery.
