How long does everybodys battery life last here on average? Because its starting to become a hassle for me to keep a charge on my phone... I unplug y phone every morning at 8am, on my way to work, I plug my phone up to a car charger for about 30mins, then when I'm at work around noon I plug up my phone for a hour... and yet I still manage to kill the battery by 3-4pm... the battery wont even last a full work day, even with getting juice for 1 1/2hrs... thats rediculous in my opinion, 8am-4pm = 8hrs - 1 1/2hrs charging = 6 1/2hrs battery life...
At that rate, I need 4(!!!) batteries to last a full 24hours

Strange, mine lasts about 24hrs (approx) without charging, that's with moderate web usage, games (for about 1 - 2 hours) texting all day and atleast 3 - 4 hours talk time. I'm using the battery my kaiser came with.
Although I have used an assload of tweaks in regards to battery life (turned down brightness, turned off all LED notifications, +used most of the power saving tweaks used in kaiser tweak, then again my sound + vibrations are almost always off except for when i'm sleeping or when the phone is charging, and more i can't think of)
This has been discussed before, so it's worth searching.
Battery life has many variables but if yours is un-usually short then investigate your mail settings, checking every 5 minutes obviously uses more than every 30 minutes.
Check if you have the band switching problem and the solutions for that
Are you killing running programmes, including Active Sync.
Does the phone feel warm (around battery) when it's off the charger. (a sign of an application running but possibly blocked)
So do you kill wifi after using it or if you don't use it then is it running abyway - that will kill the battery. etc etc etc
The above is not a full list but should give some starting points for searches. In general I would expect around a day of low to medium use. If you only get a couple of hours then check the things above.

How much are you using the phone for bluetooth or wifi or 3g? If not much, then you're right.
I have Alex'x WM 6.1 beta2. It's been a full work day and I still have about 75% battery. I had the stock at&t rom then tried stock HTC rom. The HTC rom had pitiful battery life. I kept it for 1 day in airplane mode and it still died in about 8 hours. The at&t rom lasted about 14 hours. Alex's may last 3 or 4 days. His WM 6.1 gives me the best battery life out of all of his or anyone's rom that I've tried.
hmm well I use an exchange server, so I cant really configure how often it checks mail... I guess it checks constantly... I'm on the phone for maybe 2-3 hrs during work, if even that, i do text alot, and use OctroTalk IM client... Thats about it, i dont play music, i dont watch movies, and I dont play games, dont use bluetooth, but I think it uses the 3G all the time, I'm not sure, it allways says 3G up in top bar...
If flashing it with a new rom can help the battery life, I might consider doing that, is there any other befits from doing so? Over all I've been pleased with the over all performance of the stock rom... except this battery issue.

2-3 hours on the phone!! and constant mail checking!! I don't know about anyone else but for this type of phone I think your battery life is probably normal. I mean that's not far off half a working day on the phone!
Mike
Ok i am new here to windows mobile this forum and the x1 as i only have it for about 3 days. But my question is, is it normal that it uses 57% ram when idle? And is the battery supposed to be empty at the end of the day (i leave it charging when i go to sleep)? I got the Hard-spl and Touch-IT v4.5 landscape installed.
The ram is normal for the rom, but the batt life aint.
What is a normal battery life then?

Depends on what you're doing with your phone.
The battery life can vary between a few hours (full usage of WiFi and/or Bluetooth and MP3) to 10+ days (most time in standby).
I have 4 days with average usage.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=495841
I charge it each day.Nomatter it's 90% or 30%.
I never now"will I use my X1 to listen music or go surfing tomorrow?".
Uhm i got 1 day when i am not using the phone and it's just on standby mode all the day and no i don't have wifi on. But i don't know if GPS goes on/off auto but as far as i know it's off.
If make x1 just standby and never used it,maybe a week or more.
But,who can buy a mobile just make it standby
I never mind it,get one more battery maybe a good idea
Hmm i think ill just wait for a week or so and look what happens as i just had it for 3 days.

3 days is enough for me...I can not believe my x1 could do it...
I don't know is there the "momax battery" in your area..
My friend told me the battery is better than the original one.
You should search the forum... there are some ways to increase battery life... the biggest issue people have is that they don't fully charge the phone before switching it on. There is a bug in WM which takes the battery charge at the time to be 100%. It will not charge above this figure unless it's turned off.
So turn off the phone and fully charge then restart the phone and it will set the charge level correctly.
Then see what life you get on stand by... I bet it's lots higher.

No it doesn't, i switched mine on at the phone shop then charged it at home. Worked fine
Wow... that's a nice kick in the nads... could you at least let him try it? I know I had the issue when I first got the phone... did this and it helped me. But of course, if you haven't had this problem dadeadman you must be universally correct.

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.

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

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.

I had same problem man..and i was shocked with it.. İ got really disappointed with my battery but after reflashing stock rom with SEUS and full offline charging for like 5 hours am ok with it now but i am still waiting for more with 4.2.2 update!!!
Sent from my C6602 using xda app-developers app
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...
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'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.
