Hi
I don't know why my battery drains very fast.
I attached a picture of battery states
Is it a common problem or should I install a costume kernel?

Does Wakelock Detector (needs root - you didn't mention) give you any idea of what's draining it?
well, i see that you kept your phone screen on for about an 2 housr and 40 minutes in that 3 hour time frame. that will drain battery, and lots if you have your brightness set at a higher level.

I rebooted my phone into safe mode to see if the battery drainage is caused by an app.
Even in safe mode the problem still persists.

How did you know that I kept my phone screen on for 2 hours?
Because I actually did not use it allot.
I was driving for an hour without using my phone and within an hour the battery dropped from 41% to 30 % (on safe mode)

Leading up to the screenshot did you have your phone on nonstop? Because it's showing as awake.
Also it looks like you have poor signal, which will cause battery drain.

from your screenshot, awake. that can be caused by a process getting stuck too, but it would be on all the time, without breaks. have you tried rebooting? as that can fux a stuck process.

Let's see how the battery will become.
As I'm writing now my battery level is 94%.
I will update you guys within an hour or two.

This 2% per 5 mins is when the phone is in standby mode ?
then there is some crap that is eating all your battery.
have a look at the battery usage and see what is using the battery most, in my case it's exchange service -- i cant do anything there because i use email app to get my office emails.
please reply with the app that is using most battery.

I don't think it'll matter.
Looks like your battery is dead. This phone is the most power-effective phone I owned since Motorola Defy+, it can hold any abuse and still has juice at the end of the day.

And then you've either installed some app that keeps your phone constantly awake, or killed the battery immediately by discharging it to 0. That's the only 2 explanations.
Right now I'm 17h on battery at 50% remaining, and screen as the top discharge reason with 32%. My father, who doesn't use the same phone extensively, routinely charges it once in 2 days. You should have screwed up something really bad to cause this phone not to hold charge.

Could be killed battery. This app won't do anything bad, I believe.
Might also be something reception-related, but I'm not sure if the reception is good/bad or if your carrier does/doesn't support fast dormancy and to what degree does it affect the phone.

How long have you had the rom? If you recently flashed then you need to let it sit for a day for the rom to settle. Learned that with the Dynamic Kat ROM.
If not, open the battery graph and check your wake time vs screen on time. A friend of mine had this issue on his S4 a while back. Clearing the cache and rebooting the phone worked for me. Worst case is you reflash the ROM.

That really sounds like a bit of voodoo. A ROM doesn't need to "settle" with regard to power usage.
Hey, that's what I was told in the DK thread, they said to let the rom settle for a couple of days. The first day I flashed the rom I was getting 4 hours of screen on time, three days later I started getting 6 hours of s.o.t. They had an explanation as to why this occurs but I forget what they said.
If you don't trust that, try recalibrating the rom by downloading an app that deletes the battery stats file.
Sent from my SM-N900A using XDA Free mobile app
I have heard that ROMs need time to settle many times. That is a myth. Resetting battery stats does nothing except erase battery stats. There is no calibration.
On your battery settings click on the graph this time. See how your network connection is. Could be an issue where you lose your connection and the phone consumes the battery searching for a network connection.
Also did you add anything new lately like an app or an email account?

Something's running keeping your phone awake. Try Wakelock detector to track that down. Also try the carrier iq thread idk what it does seems it fixed stuff for people and made their phone sleep better. Most of the time it's an app. I dont use greenify but people use it to hibernate user apps that run in background.

Hey mate, sorry to hear you are getting worse battery life. Are you using anything from your normal? Check out my guide and see if anything helps. Below are my stats currently. I can only see you still have your alarm on, this can cause a slight lose.
Mine hasn't ever lasted as long as your day and a half, maybe it is just leveling out? A few days ago I recalibrated my battery, maybe that would help?

Try shutting it off ( hold the off button on right side) the turning it back on . Reboot, I had an unexplained battery issue and this fixed it, I can get 3-4 days now.
Any update @gainstatom?

My battery is either good or bad. Right now it's fine and going good. But sometimes I think something makes my battery worse. I will keep updating with screenshot. I think 8% for only minute on screen time is not that good.

Yeah that's great! You can install better battery stats here on xda to see if you are getting any wake locks etc. Greenify plus xposed will do this also, but bbs has more info

I had a battery problem similar to yours not long ago. One of the things that was running it down was in Settings> Wi-Fi> Always allow scanning. The phone would scan for Wi-Fi signal even when Wi-Fi was turned off. Unchecking that box helped a lot.
I also used a battery calibration app that clears the battery stats and that has pretty well fixed the problem.

I seem to be getting pretty average battery on my Z3C and the estimated battery life shows it. When I first got it it was showing an estimated 2 day life and now this shows as 5 hours average. My normal usage yesterday lasted me 5 hours of screen time and 15 hours total. Not sure if there's an app eating up my battery or if I have a defective unit.

It might be because you checked it at 99%. Going from 100 - 99% is usually quite fast. Could you post later results? Maybe around 40% or so?
Edit - I should have looked closer. Didn't realize you were charging the phone. Sorry, I got nothing for you then, other than to charge it a couple more times and test it out then. You probably did get yourself a dud battery.
It seems there was an app that was killing my battery. I wiped it and reinstalled the firmware and it seems to be getting much better battery now

What was the app? My usual battery life is around 5 hours SOT with around 17 hours total uptime between charges, which sounds like what you were having.
Google search is what was killing my battery. It was creating a wake lock due to locations so I had to turn it off

Gotcha. I went ahead and turned off the location reporting portion of Google Now, we'll see if I can achieve similar results When you say you reinstalled the firmware, do you mean you did a factory reset?
I could have done that but I actually used Sony's software to wipe and reinstall the software for it.

Battery life is subjected to how you use your phone. Minimize your wake locks and ensure your phone is deep sleeping.
Battery life is hardly affected by a ota unless there was a crucial error on Google part causing wakelock which Google play services is the main culprit.
