I dont think battery is getting hot but its near sim and sd card area
iam using jelly bean
Yes. It is normal
My phone gets a lot hot after playing nfsmw for an hour or so continously.
Yup its normal... not to the point when the phone displays a temperature warning and/or Shuts Down or Reboots....
If you are concerned then there are some apps in Google Play to check your phone's temp....

Comparing playing games to web browsing is like ferrari vs ford. Both of them are cars, but one of them drains your wallet faster.

sorry, I missed to mention, my phone gets heated up even when downloading huge files and browsing net for long hours !
BTW, I really liked your example
It is normal. This device has a temperature control mechanism. So it warns you.
Make sure that you allow it to cool if the warning appears!

Hi,
Iam going to buy Xperia Z. Are the games like GTA VC (on maxed out), Max Payne, etc. run smoothly on this phone? Thanks for answers.
They run okay. Reading a bit on those ports gives me the impression that they all run wacky on high end devices.

I haven't played any of the games on the XZ but when NFS Most Wanted still worked on the XZ I could play it without any problems... beside 1.
When the phone becomes to hot while gaming, the game will become a bit slower, I can't really call it lagg, because everything will keep working, but just be a bit slower. That will happen for like hmmm 30 seconds max? After that the game will become fluid again.

Thermal throttling. The phone gets hot and the chip underclocks itself for the time being hot.

When I play nfs, it becomes really slow at one point for quite some time. The timing is still normal but the graphic looks like it is in slow mo. Sometimes
It lasts for like 30 secs sometimes it lasts throughout the game.

yeah, that's right same here.
Are you still able to play the game while you're on 4.2.2?
Modern Combat 4 seems to play ok, although i have only tested it for around 5 mins.

I can confirm that with the latest update the phone runs cooler and smoother. I'm playing NFS Most Wanted since a few weeks and before it was like 70% of the time lagfree, now it is more like 95%. Even after 30 minutes of playing or more. Before, it would start to lag within a minute or so!
Definietly worth to upgrade to .244 firmware!
I've been experiencing very bad battery life lately. Currently using PAC, I could lose 10% of battery in under 20 minutes of normal web browsing with the brightness set all the way to low. I'm underclocked and undervolted, battery health is good. I don't really know what's causing my media server thing to use so much battery but it's definitely chewing up more juice than normal. How am I supposed to fix this?
Stop media scanning.
On the Store there is an app called Rescan Media Root.
Media server drain ia usually caused by the sd scanning proccess, sometimes a bad file can cause it to go nuts and keeps the proccess alive, thus killing your battery.
Give it a go.

I will also try this, my phone is only two days old and the battery life on this device is absolutely horrible compared to my Samsung Galaxy Note 2, I will check back with you folks and let you know the results
It is horrible compared to a Note 2, even if you didn't have that bug.
Plus, CM, AOSP, and PAC, all of them don't have that great of a battery life compared to stock.
Say you can get a solid 5+ hours out of a stock rom with few tweaks, whereas on those buolds mentioned you could get 4h, with not so great idling times.

Obviously horrible compared to a note 2 since note 2 has a bigger battery and lower resolution screen?

I'm trying it our now, report back in a day or so. This phone is bound to have worse battery life than the Note 2, it has 2 more cores, 2x more pixels, LCD screen, smaller battery, if you want great battery life go back to the Note or get a battery case. I didn't know that stock gives me more battery, maybe I should go back :/

Sony stock is very good rom to me. I will go to custom rom only if sony discontinued the updates, or sony makes the rom while drunk ( too much bugs, unstable... )
And, don't undervolt too much, -100mV is ok,
there's some test out there (not APQ8064), when undervolt too much, the processor will messed up the calculation, and re-calculate the process, wasting more battery and time. [this is applied to my old xperia arc]
If on Intel X86, I never get any issues/drawbacks from undervolting.
Sorry if I'm wrong, and sorry for my bad english.

i never said i had a custom rom, i went to install it, and it said i had to be rooted, and I'm not rooting my phone yet, thats why I asked if something similar was available for non rooted users.
Of course I'm not saying it's gonna get magically better but you should really give it more of a chance than two days a couple full charge cycles will help some,plus being new your prob setting up alot etc

thats definitely true, I know these batteries aren't supposed to have "memory" but should I do the full charge and drain with them?
I guess I'm under the assumption of it being newer and better technology then my Galaxy Note 2 I was coming from, I was expecting it to be right off the bat better.
thanks

Diff threads I read say it's no good to let it drain down to low, I usually charge around 20,30 percent I do about once a month let drain completely

Bad battery? So this type not worthed to buy?
Hey, the "rescan media server" app fixes the battery drain temporarily. How do I find out and delete the file that is causing my media scanner to keep running? I switched over to another ROM a few hours ago and media scanner is still taking a big chunk of my battery until I kill it. Do I need to reformat my card? Run anti virus?
Try this app. It is an android issue not an Sony issues. The mediaserver running all the time. This app will help. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot

Hey guys!!!
Here's my daily question
When I play for at least 45 minutes my phone starts overheating (special when it is charging) and it can reach 45 C and more which is annoying and terrifying
What do you usually do in order to keep the temperatures low?

If you are rooted check threads on Z2 section, there's great idea and solution for that (you'll need to undervolt your device)

Unfortunately you really can't keep them down all the way, the phone will heat up regardless, you're stressing the components by gaming, this will make them heat up.
You could try using lower clock speeds or not charging when gaming, strimming apps back, closing all unwanted / uneeded apps, lowering brightness, turning off wireless controls, taking a break more often, playing in a cold room, playing without a case.
Other than that theres not much else, maybe kernel control of the processors / GPU
Should I and can I send back my device when the battery is looking like this? I have cleaned out and factory reset it two times and updated. This looks terrible. Screen gets really hot too when playing any game.
I'm aware of threads about the battery, but they don't tell me anything since people just post their GOOD battery screenshot and then say to run debloat script or something, but I shouldn't have to.
Sorry, but your Screenshot is not very detailed. You scrolled down - so we can't see which uses most battery.
I think your battery is fine.
Do you have the screen at max. brightness? Reduce it. Turn off Bluetooth, if not needed.
To be honest - my stats are similar.
I assume u are playing your games at max brightness which is why your screen is so hot.
As for your battery, yes your battery looks normal, even more so if you game heavily on it. I get 4-5 hrs of SOT and majority of it is gaming which looks fine to me.

I'm playing them at approx. 40% of screen brightness, so it must be something else. I assume it could be a cocktail of my bluetooth connection and my 3G network connection maybe (since I don't use the 4G network, to save battery ironically). :/
It's not just playing games, just doing a bit of picture editing gets the phone hot too. But I never had that with my old Z3, that's why I find it weird. It should be more optimized to handle such work.
I will wait and see if I can find something more on it.

It still amazes me how you can get 2 days and more of battery life. Yet again, you've only used your device with screen on for 4 hours in 2 days, so that has saved the battery alot.
Thanks for replying.

My screen gets really hot at 50% brightness after playing a game for 15-20 min, specially if it requires network connection. How about yours?
Even when using the camera the screen gets hot, but SUPPORT settings shows the device temperature is normal, but the screen is really hot.
Its differently. If I Play High Graphic Games the Phone is very Hot after 20 min. But Low Games Like Rise Up works normal.
And I can confirm, that we really need the extra amount of ram.
That's my average ram usage.
I don't play games, I don't use many apps and I use Greenify to close everything.
And I removed or disabled preinstalled (system-)apps I don't need.
I would has only 200mb left on the normal device with 4gb.

As always. The OS used as much RAM as it can. If there is not enough around stuff will be freed.

And the Prozess "Android-Memory" uses the extra amount of ram for what?
I only use 1-3 apps, and that not often.
Can't complain about mine, disabled a couple unused services but generally untouched. I'm not overly concerned about free ram though, as long as the device runs smoothly it's all good.

You lost 1% battery after charging it 1.5 hours ago?
To calculate the estimated battery time, it uses the last usage statistics.
Btw.
I charge up to 80% (the 80%-100% is killing the battery faster)
WIFI and bluetooth is most of the time deactivated.
