When I got the phone my battery was pretty phenomenal (comparatively speaking). But it seems since I took the update that Sprint pushed out a few weeks ago, the battery can't make it more than a few hours with light/moderate use. Its really horrid to be honest. Hoping the eventual 4.2.2 OTA will fix this. But in the meantime I wanted to know if anyone else was having this issue and possibly help identify the source of the problem. (By the way I am not rooted)

Have you checked the version of your Google Play Services APK? It can cause a particularly nasty bug on HTC devices.

Play Services is v 3.1.36 but the actual Play Store is v 4.1.10 which is said to "fix battery drain issue." Still seems to be draining pretty rapidly. Any fix you know of?
Can we see your usage stats?

The Play Store update should have also pushed Play Services, so yeah. Could we see your usage and also your app list/sync settings?
I'm in the same boat, even after the Google Play Store fix.
Seriously, we need usage stats.
Sorry, been working in home WiFi.
Hardly been using the phone since I still have my old Evo LTE and the battery is better on that.

Wifi used up 43% of 60% of your battery? That's like a quarter of your battery gone! Am I the only one who thinks that's weird? Can we see the graph and awake time etc? (Sorry for the trouble, but it's the only way we can tell)

Well, in fairness for the last week or so I've been charging the phone and leaving it in my room. The screenshot was after like a day and a half in which a hardly used it and had WiFi on.
By working on home WiFi I meant talking to ISP and bumping up speeds, for the second time in a week.
I'll post the graph when I get home from work or early tomorrow as the phone has been unplugged for about 20 minutes.

It won't hurt if you actually use it. Watching vids/playing games prevents blown up stats like that.
EDIT: Please, also include stats like screen time, awake time, cell reception, Wifi etc.
This was at work. I hardly use my phone at work fyi.

Dropped 25 ish percent in 6 hours? What seems to be the problem?
With your usage, that would give you a day. I'm happy with 11 hours.
But with no internet connection and hardly any use. It concerns me because usually it would drop 5 maybe 10%. It was great on sleep.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
OK, now that I think about it, you're right. I remember getting more than 2 days on standby with absolutely no use (on wifi).
A day with that kind of usage is really not that good. It's weird because your stats don't show anything odd. I'd like to see some moderate to heavy usage stats though. The kind you say gives you 5 hours. That would help more.
Here you go. About 50% gone in about an hour of use (on WiFi) mostly on YouTube/Twitter or music with regular use of ATK.

I'm having a serious battery drain issue with my Sprint One also, though I don't remember exactly when it started - it might very well have been that OTA update.
My battery drains when the phone is asleep. The phone will be dead in just over 24 hours from 100%, with less than one hour of screen usage. The integrated "usage" monitor shows that WiFi consumes this power , whether or not WiFi is in use. I have a paid task manager app that can track stats over time, and according to it, the processor appears to be running at ~15% constantly when the screen is off. I've tried disabling WiFi and having the phone sleep on just the cell network, to no avail. I first thought that perhaps the poor service at my house was causing it. However, I watched the battery drain at exactly the same rate when in an area with perfect coverage.
Here's the weird part - I tried airplane mode'ing my phone. Airplane mode doesn't seem to stop it. In fact, airplane mode seemed to accelerate the drain! I find it simply unacceptable that my phone will die like this with almost no usage.
I feel that the problem is not a rogue third-party app I have installed. I've used the "disable" option on Facebook, Twitter, and I've removed several other suspected apps. It makes no difference. I even suspected my task manager app; I tried removing it and looking at the integrated one, and there was no difference.

Check to make sure never auto turn on Wi-Fi is checked in Wi-Fi advanced settings. I was going to suggest poor reception since that kills my battery, but you mentioned trying airplane mode.
With screen off and nothing running, it's not surprising that Wi-Fi is the main battery drain. But it is too fast in my opinion too.

Even though this is on stock, This thread will help (maybe)
Try disabling the backup services, as they tend to run for like half an hour each time you power up your phone, or maybe it does that everyday.

I came across the same issue, where I was getting a quick battery drain. I went ahead and unticked auto sync and have wifi shut off via toggle and only turn it on when I need it. After checking the Android OS percentage, it went down by half and battery life now is insane, once in sleep mode, it preserves a lot of battery. I was at 100% at 8:15 am yesterday morning and today I am on 72%, granted I haven't used the phone that much but prior to the previously mentioned steps, I would probably be recharging as we speak!
Start BetterBatteryStats and check your kernel wakelocks - it could be the msm_hsic_host wakelock that is causing your battery drainage?

[SOLVED] Solution!
SOLVED!
After maaaaaaaany weeks of googling, searching, WakeLock monitoring, more searching...
I finally fixed what's causing this!
The wakelocks are named:
NlpCollectorWakeLock
NlpWakeLock
Those were the main battery drainers (those freaking suckers!).
They aren't that important to run in the background at all, it's just a location service by Google Now (you know, just so the NSA has more data from you).
It does not affect the device performance or function in any way (as far as I know but I guess it prevents Google Now from searching your location while your phone is locked).
The simple fix for all this:
Simply download "Wakelock Terminator" from the Play Store and run it. You also need Xposed for the installed module to run tho which means you also need a rooted device.
(Downside of the free version: You can only prevent one service from running unlimited wakelocks, for more you'll need the paid version. But because you'll most likely fix only the draining problem you won't need more anyways!)
Then simply go an search for "Google Play Services", tick "Prevent Wake Lock" and add the above mentioned services to the list.
After one day of doing this my phone battery lasts far longer now, draining only about 1-2% an hour instead of 8-10% as it was before.
If this worked for you please hit the "Thanks!"-Button! This is not for my own pleasure, it's for everyone else having the same issue and want to find a legit, fast, easy solution

So for the last few days it seems a random app will be the highest drain on the battery. Yesterday it was chrome. Today it was the email app. It seems the last app i open stays awake.
And i notice when clicking details the "mobile radio active" time is on for hpurs (ex 2hr 30min).

Same for me. When I bought the phone I immediatelly upgraded to 5.0.2. After upgrading, I did a factory reset through Recovery. Android OS and Android System eat up most of the battery, whereas in normal cases it should be screen and standby (and perhaps some fewquently used app).

Looking at that first screenshot of the battery chart it looks like you have an alarm or wakelock keeping your phone awake when it should be sleeping. Take a look at my Moto G 2014 battery guide

Well that guide is great as a general recommendation. However, what we have here looks like a bug. Android OS and Android System should NEVER take more battery than standby and screen.

You are right. And I see that in my xt1032 that still runs on KitKat these wakelocks do not exist. Could this have to do with data wiping? I factory reset the phone from recovery AFTER the 5.0.2 OTA update. AFAIK it fully wipes data and cache.

It does. Install BetterBatteryStats from here and run it for a while. It'll give you details on every wakelock and alarm on the device and how much battery it is using. Then you can use amplify in the tutorial I linked to earlier to configure the wakelocks so they are not consuming as much battery.

Thanks a lot Duck86, but I think that for a brand new phone I should not need to do all these things to get decent battery life. As I said my old xt1032 on kitkat was is to handle two days of significant usage and most of all, if you did not use it the battery did not drain. By the end of the day, battery usage was topped by standby, screen and perhaps an app with frequent use. On top of that, 5.0.2 looks generally unstable compared to the utterly robust 4.4.4 that runs on my xt1032. I get noise and lag in call sounds for example, issues that were not even imaginable on xt1032/kitkat.
So I think I will try to fall back on kitkat. The problem is that I do not know which stock ROM I should install.
My Baseband version is:
MSM8626BP_1032.3105.93.00R EMEA_DSDS_CUST
My kernel version is:
3.4.42-g48d3b85
My system version is
22.21.28.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03 reteu
Build number
LXB22.46-28
Any clues?
It's probably gsam battery monitor that is doing all the wakelocks to gather data.

Nothing special, depends on what you were doing. To have a clearer view: Load your battery until it's full and let the phone rest for one or two hours. Make some screens than. You can see what kind of wakelocks disturb the sleep mode of the device.
"Who is the guilty?" Motorola?..
Guys you know about the bug with the gps? When you turn on and off the GPS on the stock rom and the GPS remain on and kills your battery until you restart the phone? Took me about 2 weeks to figure out.

Battery problem on C5502 (stock 5.0.2 Customized TW fw)
Hey guys,
I think I might have a problem here, I did OTA update over 10.5.1.A.0.283, got 10.6.A.0.454. Everything seems to be working fine, the system is quite smooth, yet battery life is worse than it was!
Cell standby and the OS seem to be consuming way to much battery, my reception isn't perfect, yet I checked in Cell standby and signal loss is at 0%.
I do have STAMINA on, yet according to CPU Spy the phone never goes into Deep Sleep. Isn't that suspicious?
You'll find a few screenshots attached to this post to give you an idea what I'm talking about. I'll try to flash the full rom today and see if it helps, while I'm typing this message FlashTool is creating an FTF file so that I can flash it later. I'll keep you posted.

From my point of view, it totally depends whether you did an OTA update or flash the new ROM. In my case, I have the Deep Sleep state active for a lot of time, and here's the screenshot:
Did you make a factory reset before/after flashing? Most time this helps.
Think the scan location when wifi is off option (in wifi setting) has effect on the google play service.
Also I am testing what exactly that stamina clock option within stamnia setting does. It seems it affects the battery in a not necessarily good way.
This is annoying. Sony includes all these features that are basically rubbish...

Hi,
I installed lollipop onto my ZR via the PC Companion a week ago, and I used a clean install (repair). My battery life is very bad compared to kitkat. I don't use my phone often, mostly it is in standby mode with mobile data enabled and stamina mode enabled (I added a few applications to stamina mode white list: gmail, facebook messanger, etc.). With kit-kat I had to charge my phone every 3 day, but now I have to charge it every day!!! this is 3 times worse than kitkat. If I check under power management - battery usage, I see a few apps have several hours of 'mobile radio active' (mostly gmail, chrome).
I have searched for this on internet, it looks like it is an lollipop related issue and not a sony related issue. Lollipop has this issue since 6 months now , and they didn't do anything to fix this (there are tons of forums posts about this on reddit, and on other places). I have the feeling Android is getting worse in every new version, and Google hire the most ****tiest developers of all time. They don't even answer to the thousands of user complaints of this issue. I will never touch an android phone in the future.

I installed lollipop onto my ZR via the PC Companion a week ago, and I used a clean install (repair). My battery life is very bad compared to kitkat. I don't use my phone often, mostly it is in standby mode with mobile data enabled and stamina mode enabled (I added a few applications to stamina mode white list: gmail, facebook messanger, etc.). With kit-kat I had to charge my phone every 3 day, but now I have to charge it every day!!! this is 3 times worse than kitkat. If I check under power management - battery usage, I see a few apps have several hours of 'mobile radio active' (mostly gmail, chrome).
I have searched for this on internet, it looks like it is an lollipop related issue and not a sony related issue. Lollipop has this issue since 6 months now , and they didn't do anything to fix this (there are tons of forums posts about this on reddit, and on other places). I have the feeling Android is getting worse in every new version, and Google hire the most ****tiest developers of all time. They don't even answer to the thousands of user complaints of this issue. I will never touch an android phone in the future.

Disable the stamina mode actually yields better battery life.

Just got my zr update to LP 2 day ago. For now seem like the battery life worse. Need to factory reset after this hopefully that help .
Did India LP update OTA two days back and was surprised see kit ain't charging fast and also discharging quickly. And the main battery consumption was by Album photo analyser services. .. have disabled it and seen significant difference. .
