Hi, i upgraded my z3 compact with lollipop but downgraded to kitkat because of bad battery life, now the battery is indeed better tha lollipop but its still not as great as it was at the beginning.
It drops fairly 1% after few minutes of surfing web and it droped 2-3 %in last 7 minutes whiles i was posting these. I did a clean install of kitkat. Could you please tell me that does your battery drop 2-3 % easily for searching through forum's, and also it drops easily if i install apps from sd card at around 1% every 2-3 apps i install.
i flashed 760 and i had bad battery life,then ota .28 and now i have 2 days of battery life ^^

sounds good, I'll have a try.
Ok i downgraded to kitkat and i kinda like it more except the icons and few material changes, here i the things i noticed
1- louder ? sounds in headphones (not sure) but definitely in notification
2- better battery life , charging while playing games
3- consistent battery ? life
4- i like kitkat notification better than lollipop,
5- may be a little smooth
6- ui was better and original than sony did with lollipop. App drawer was better using full space unlike new one showing a tab.
7- i liked Walkman player app more, unlike lollipop ? switching between clear audio is easy.
Hey you didn't replied my original question, can you do following testing for me.
1- battery drop in standby while you sleep, i. E 8-9 hour without touching phone ?
2- battery drop while installation of apk from sd card
3- battery drop through speakers, how much it dropped with each song played at full volume.
I think i will not upgrade to lollipop until they feature raw support to cameras. Kitkat is more stable for me.
Thanks.

i am having the same battery life degrading problem , my version is android 5.0.2 and build number is 23.1.A.0.726 . can you tell me what updates did you mean in your reply pls ...
If you can live without lollipop material design, kitkat is way more battery ? friendly, try downgrading, i don't feel upgrading now just for new version. Though raw camera ? support can change my mind

Hi guys,
i recently sold my crappy Xperia Tipo (i goddamn hate it) and bought an S3 Mini, i love it, it's my first day with it, but i'm having serious issues with the battery life, it discharges too fast,
When i bought it i drained all the battery, then charged it (turned off) to 100%.... but still its draining too fast.
The phone is brand new... i don't know why it discharges so fast, it's on android 4.1.2:
Should i update to a custom rom? i would like to taste KitKat, that CM11...
Do you suggest it?

The battery is not our great ally here xD
But custom rom have bugs, no matter what ppl say.. they have and will have for a while...
IF you dont care about warranty and want to take the chance to improve your cell, yes, there are some good roms to upgrade Jelly Bean to KitKat or just update to 4.3
Personal, Maclaw have a great work done in his CM and Carbon (Don Like at all Slim or OAKP ) that work with kit kat, still in process; in the case of 4.3 dont know, i just did the jump from 4.1 to 4.4
I'm actually using Mac CM 11.0 and I have to charge it every night, the same as with a Stock ROM / based custom ROM. I'm actually doing around 5 to 6 hours calling and a little bit of Line/Whatsapp during the day.
It's faster, and I like Open Source ROMs the most, because of the design, but it's up to you.

hey guys,
the road so far:
I started rooting and installing TWRP recovery in my phone, then i updated to Maclaw Kitkat 4.4.2 and flashed gapps...
i noted that the phone improved just a little bit, because without the bloatware it's much better, i don't have any bugs actually...
From 5 am to 11.30 am it went down 3% without 3G, i went to sleep and lost 3 % that's a little bit better...
I suggest to do a full rom backup with TWRP and try a new custom rom, 4.4 or 4.3!!
leave this post open for if someone knows something else about the battery life.

Dont know much how long is battery life with the stock rom, bcause i started using the phone directly with the CM11 of maclaw. I am running the 20140120 version, and i am always reading about the news and comments of the last maclaw's release.. (think i will do an update soon..)
I see that battery life increase changing the governor ( abyssplug ) and the I/O scheduler ( sio ). I dont use wifi so much but often 3g data connection (chat, mail pushing, some internet surfing etc..) , listen music, make some photos... airplane mode during night!
after 1,5 day of use.. i should charge!
had an xperiaE before with a stock 4.1.2 jb and the battery life was greater... ( but is completely another device with another hw and os .. )

I'm kindda pissed of with the Xperia line, my friend had the Xperia U and smashed it across the hallway because after hours and hours of flashing new roms it always came down to poor...extreme poor performance haha.
What's the governor ?
governor takes control of which the CPU is used... there are a lot of threads about...or just google the word and you will find a lot of literature..

hi
What rom would give me a few days battery life for Samsung Galaxy S III mini GT-I8190???, Id love to see lollypop on it
I've been using it for a little over a day now and the batter life has not wowed me. I've seen better battery life on KitKat. That being said, this is not a final version, and a lot of the Google Services based apps aren't updated yet.
Please share your results of battery life time, and Screen On Time so the community can get a consensus of battery life running this new Developer Preview.
I have achieved just over 4 hours of SOT after my first days use.
Just my thoughts exactly.
Same here

It's horrible for me , dunno why . I've got only 2 apps installed , Tapatalk and another one . Miscellaneous is always on top :/ ...
Yea. I've been getting 5+ hours sot on KK. Not on Lollipop. November 3rd isn't too far away tho!
Hammerhead | L Developer Preview Final
Probably shouldn't whine around since it's a developer's preview but I agree with the above posts.. Battery life has been quite pathetic for me as well. Can't make it through a day on a single charge now.
Really missing ElementalX!
Back on kk due to heavy battery drain .. On first preview battery life was awesome .. Don't know what's wrong in the new preview . i hope the final build will be better
I highly doubt the final version will be any better. Less then a month away for final release. It takes a long time to find all those issues etc. It's going to be a work in progress for months.
The final version may be a bit better but I can't imagine 3 weeks is going to make a huge difference.
Absolutely fine for me, same as KitKat.
You guys are doing something wrong.

Apparently not... People who have wiped everything and installed only gmail/tapatalk are also experiencing huge drains even after a few battery cycles.
In my case, the phone sleeps just fine and goes to deep sleep without any wakelocks. However, when I start using it, battery drops down every few minutes and it doesn't even last a day. The overall drain is too much. May be few of my most used apps aren't fully compatible with Lollipop and hence the drain...

I believe the final version is ages ahead of this preview. IMHO they probably had to set up a more or less stable build for developers to test the final API, It doesn't mean the final version got much more changes.
They probably got the tech stuff done and released it for developers without caring of other changes, just technical to make sure apps would work...
Battery for me is being horrible too, got many batdrains but I think It will be improved on the final version.
At 65% battery now. Uptime 16 hours SoT 1 hour 44 min.
Lost 2% battery in 10 hours sleep this night while it was on wifi.
By the way this is the first battery cycle ever on this phone. Bought it yesterday, went home and flashed Lollipop right away then fully charged and started using it. So the usage has some app downloads etc.
The final version for Nexus 5 will not be in the 3/11.
Google will only update at that day the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, Nexus 9. (hardware without LTE).
Nexus 5 will be update to Android 5.0 later of November. (like Nexus 6)
I have this preview version and I see that the gpu driver need some polish.
Personally I get the same battery life on Lollipop than on Kitkat. Maybe little better especially when screen off. I had the "miscellaneous bug" and my battery suffered a lot but I removed many apps (G+ ?) and the battery consumption of the "miscellaneous" things drops to only few percents.
part of the battery life drain is due to the much more aggressive on-demand settings

Same here.. mostly the same battery life..
Overnight drain is reduced - the graph is pretty much horizontal during that time. Once you start using it though it doesn't seem any different.
Only thing I have installed currently is the google apps (chrome, G+, gmail, maps).
Please use the current battery life thread here
Thread closed
Kitkat - Lolipop - Cyogenmod.
Which one has the best battery time for you?
- My vote is for Kitkat (23.0.A.2.93)
People who vote for "OTHER", please explain about your choice.
I've had much better battery life on KitKat. Up to 3 days with Stamina mode on. With Lollipop if I avoid using the phone too often battery lasts for 2 days max.

thank you for your reply.
Having great battery life on .62 HK lollipop firmware. Also amazing sound quality unlike the other lollipop builds :|

Haven't used it a lot on Kitkat (I forced the update a few days after getting it), but I'm having great battery life on Lollipop (.28).
Two and a half days of moderate use (Data and/or Wifi always on, Autosync, no Stamina, GPS most of the time...) with almost 5 hours of SOT.
Which lolipop firmware is getting good battery life? Because i heard that lolipop battery life was bad?
In Lollipop, it helps to disable Sony's "background data queueing" in Power management.
23.1.A.1.28 & 23.2.A.1.62
which one has a better battery life?

Dude, I'm sorry, but nobody will be able to answer a question like that simply because it depends on what you do with the phone.
Unless one of the fw doesn't have a known bug or unless you do the exact same things on both firmwares (same duration of calls, same amount of sms sent, same amount of music listened to, same amount of background data, same apps installed, etc) you will never know for sure...
It has been 6 months i reverted back to kitkat and rooted and was happy playing and tweaking my phone. But off late phone is acting very bad on battery part. Battery reduces in no time even after all updates/syncs/gps etc everything being off as always.
So though about trying marshmallow but have no idea about its good or bad.
So can you guys comment on marshmallows battery life, camera enhancement fix, overall ui experiences etc??
So accordingly I can make my mind to upgrade.
For battery, check wakelocks on your phone. I installed no wakelock xposed to disable any apps that causing wakelock. And my battery is really good in kitkat, rather than mm.. cheers

I am running SLiMM 1.9 and it is very very fast!
Battery life is good,getting about 4.5 to 5h of screen on time,camera is ok,no major difference,only if you use SLiMM I think it snaps photos quicker but it could be just a placebo effect.
Getting about 40k on AnTuTu which is pretty low but it could be just my device or a bug in AnTuTu.
Overall I would recommend to upgrade!

It is a custom ROM based on 23.5.0.575
If you're happy with current phone and nothing bugs you, leave it.
I'm staying on L because there's no single issue I have with it and I like the STAMINA mode. Sony won't bring the same STAMINA back, they just rebranded the low battery saver as that and Doze is halfassed compared to STAMINA. So basically there's 0 appeal for the upgrade. I don't care about version numbers, I prefer much more not having to hassle with the phone and rely on it.

The latest Slimm actually brought stamina mode back. I can get a good 2-3 days of average use with it off though.

No, it didn't. They only changed the name of Power Save mode to Stamina mode.
hi everyone, my droid turbo drains battery on stand by stated as "cell standby". this problem was on lollipop and after the update it is still almost same. it drains like 10-13% overnight. any solutions pleas?
Having the exact problem on lollipop, haven't upgraded yet cause I plan to unlock bootloader sometime. Even my Moto X 2014 used to give me more battery life, though it had a tiny 2300mAh battery. I was thinking maybe I had a bad battery but now I don't seem to be the only one having this trouble. Maybe you should try Greenify & Amplify. There are also some pretty good Battery Saving mods available on XDA, go give them a shot.
Unlock bootloader, root, install stock-based, debloated, tweaked ROM:
Computerfreek274_MM_1.0.4 Marshmallow 6.0.1 Stock rooted VOLte Debloated

@Computerfreak, thanks for such an excellently crafted ROM!
The battery performance is truly fantastic as is the audio quality.
FYI, I installed the stock ROM and thought that I had done something wrong when the battery drain was so high. @ChazzMatt suggested/recommended giving your version a go and I went with his suggestion. I am beyond glad that I did!
The battery drain went from me being able to watch it drop each minute to it not moving a single degree in over an hour. Six hours later and it's only dropped 7%-8%. (Wi-Fi was on for 5 hours and the music player was in use for 1 hour.) Nice!
The audio quality improvement was more than simply noticable in the car this afternoon (Mannheim Steamroller's "Christmas"); it was smooth and clear enough that I thought that it sounded like I had higher-end speakers/amp. Extra nice!
Your tweaks are much appreciated - much appreciated!
BTW, all of your apparently long-time fans kept mentioning Pon-3 and Xposed, so I'm off to explore.
Thanks, again for a wonderful job!
