Battery Problem Xperia Z !!

Guys I have the c6603 model running 10.3..a.0.423...i live in india but got the phone from australia and its telstra branded. the phone has been running well until a few weeks back i started noticing the battery level going down faster than usual...i am not a heavy app user...and in the battery settings, i have noticed that "android system" is using up almost 70-80% of d battery...the rest like 'screen', android os etc. only 5-10%...this has resulted in the phone lasting hardly a day even on minimal usage. So, could anyone tell me why is the phone acting like this ? what could be the possible reason for the android system using this much battery.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well. What i can suggest I have the same sort of issue. Disabled facebook app et al problem fixed.
Well if you want dig a bit deaper then instal app so called "wakelock detector "-> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en
Hope it will help!:fingers-crossed:

I'm a quite heavy user. I hadn't ever turned stamina mode off since I got the phone. Been using it for a few days with stamina mode off and the battery seems to be way better. When there's a hour or more wherein I won't use the phone I put stamina mode on.

There is a problem with the latest google services framework so that it eats your battery as long as you have location services enabled. So deal with the battery drain or disable location services

Here is your answer! FB is an piece of **** coded app, that is useless on non-rooted phones (Greenify is an must for even using FB app so you can terminate the app after each session).

I had the same problem with battery. I deleted fb with titanium backup and installed friends caster. With location services on and green power premium. I have two days of juce now. No greenify or other apps just green power set to switch off data and WiFi at night and during the day switch it on for 1min every 30 min. Of course when the screen is on I have the data constantly on. No games just websites, music, Tapatalk, Gmail and phone calls plus occasional Facebook browersing using friends caster.

Alrite...i guess i ll have to disable the FB app and see if it makes any difference.

I have just received my phone back from the Sony Repair Centre and seem to be suffering the same issue only more acute. The battery drain is so fast that I can't even charge it unless it is totally switched off, even with the screen off a no apps running it will only charge 8% overnight and with the screen on that 8% will drain in a few minutes.

Newest stock or not?

I'm not sure, it's a C6603, if that helps. I only got the phone originally in about July and it stopped working, wouldn't switch on or respond to any input. They returned it to me working, albeit with the SIM missing, but it had 44% charge, so I put it on charge. It actually seems to be getting worse, I've now switched it off in an effort to get it to charge faster, but having been on charge for several hours it's only up to 56% from 22%, I would guess that's in 7 hours.

Attention!
Guys I just came across this battery issue with samsung s3 users. They have this file "gsiff_daemon" which is giving them battery problems same as ours. the file comes under the name of Android System. Have a look at it and read about it on google. They have a post about it on xda as well.
So I checked if I could locate it in our Z's and maybe rename it or do something, but I wasn't able to locate it even after using ES File explorer. Maybe it is present under some other name and is probably the reason our "Android System" is using up 70-80% of the battery life.
I request some advanced users here to look into the problem and see if they can help us.

Background process limit
Hi all,
Trying this (Background process limit), i think will work, because now i see a lot of more processes in background than in previous releases ( wasting our batery and internet conection..)
I had the same issue in upgrade in a previous release and i solved activating the limitation of background process .
I am trying this solution now
To limitated, go into developer options
Then the 2 option beggining by the end , Background process limit.
I have put 2 process at most

okey ill give it a try & tell u if it works or not have a gud day

Please don't mess with the background process limit. It will have a negative effect on your phone's multitasking and will not increase battery life at all. In fact, it may decrease battery life because cached processes will be regularly removed from RAM and have to reload themselves.
The option is in the developer options for a reason. You shouldn't be touching anything in there if you don't understand what it is.
It's sad to see uninformed nonsense like that posted here when this is supposed to be a place for people to learn how their phone works. ?

problem solved
its not about the software (as many forums try to imply): I went to a lab to replace the battery and now the phone works like expected. runs a full day. not few hours.

CPU usage always 40-70%

Hi
Why my Z3 Compact always use a lot of CPU usage even all apps closed??? it makes my phone overheating and my phone never go sleep with screen on/off and idle. for other phones, CPU usage always 1% when in idle. i uninstalled and frozen all bloatware apps but it's not helping. my phone is running lollipop 5.1.1 (latest)

Just follow the OP's guide as closely as you can (post #3 & 4) - I only installed Greenify, Amplify & BBS and I omitted Power Nap as I use Sony's Stamina mod.
If you cant find some of his suggestions/items then thats because you dont have them, so no worry.
Once you have completed the guide make a log/dump (at the bottom of post #4) and the experts/OP will view it and assist you where necessary -really amazing support on the site
I am also using @moly82's AiO v2 debloat ROM slightly modified and together with above I have ZERO battery drain over night/idle - you can check my log/dump on the site.
PS: I know of lately I have been 'pushing' @vaisakh7's Extreme Battery Life thread whenever possible like it is the fix-all solution. Probably it is not
but it made a HUGH impact on my battery life and really feel everybody should give it a try - if for nothing else than just to streamline the phone's
kernel/alarms & battery-wise.

apart from when idle/overnight, you noticed battery improvements when phone is active too? will check it btw seems a very well done battery saver tutorial

Sorry if OT and not sure if your reply was aimed at me...but this how my phone has been behaving the last couple of days (using your AiO v2 ROM and @vaisakh7's battery guide). Using the phone in my usual way: some reading, surfing, music, mails/texts but no gaming.

Mirek190 v 6.1 battery safe mode at 15 percent problem

Once at low battery system goes into safe battery mode it hangs my tablet. I can only power it on by pressing for long time power on button. And it boots from scratch.
So I cannot have battery safe mode turned on.
Any fix for that?

Just flash mirek's custom rom. It's the best way to solve stock rom problems like fixing inaccurate battery percentage showing. If you can't do this just fully discharge and charge your tablet without interrupting (charging and discharging) 3 times and after that use app from the store like battery calibration when fully charged to erase battery stats. It should help but it's not guaranteed.

As mentioned in subject I'm on mirek190 rom [emoji1]
Will try calibration then.
Thanks

tried battery calibration. Not working. If at even 98 percent of battery if I put tablet into battery saver mode and leave it then it turns off and cannot be waked up.
I have to press power for long time to boot it, and it boots like it has been restarted

I know what you mean ... just not use saving mode on the lowest brightness .
The Screen not turn on again ( device still works )
I reduced low brightness ( stock is very bright on the low position ) and when you turn the saving on the screen is getting even darker and after off - on the screen not turn on ( it only happens on the lowest brightness settings ) - is the gpu bug .

Very possible. Will check and let you know if it was this.

Confirmed. I have not noticed it before because I usually use it with lowest light and without sound. Any chance for workaround?
bTW: I have bought also x80hd for my children. There is full of bloatware android 4.4.4 and Windows 10. Any chance for clean 5.0 rom from you? ?

Huge battery drain

My P9 with B378 is eating my battery like a hungry monster see atached screenshot what can cause this?
Already did factory reset not working.

I suggest you to show us also the apps consumption... But tell us more details... Are you using SD... As external or internal ...Try to format from phone as sometimes excessive consumption is due to old android files on SD ... Also try to locate which apps is draining more gsam battery monitor may help... And you can reflash from zero but this important you read carefully all threads to document yourself... Other cracks here will help you better than me I am quite new on Huawei...

Here ya go

Have you chosed apps to be closed when locking the phone? Only apps i have running when locking is Snapchat and Messenger.
Facebook is a battery killer, maybe you should try Friendly instead?
Also, have you turned off 4G for any apps? Its probably a good idea to disable 4G for the apps you dont use.
I lose about 10% every hour with medium to heavy use (surfing, instagram, friendly, Messenger and so on).

7.0 B378

Apart from androidOS the app that consumes more is email... Could be sync problems?.. regarding Snapchat I cant say nothing as I do not use.. as with muviz... Disable Google backup and check on accounts is someone is getting sync errors...These are fist things to check or try to use the phone without those two/three apps to see if are not properly adapted to nougat for some reason... Or boot in safe mode to monitor how it goes

On B361 my P9 had a bigger battery drain than it had before on B182.
Now on N378 battery life is as good as it was on B182. I'm happy again.
So maybe it's an app that sucks your battery.

Thanks everyone problem seems to be solved now, i disabled or removed all huawei or google related apps now battery life is fine

I am also having really bad drain on B378. Far worse than I had on my previous phone p9 lite.
Android system is eating battery. I have done 2 factory resets now.

After a factory reset it's normal to have bad drain for the first few days, google is gathering stats .

Resetting your phone over and over does not solve anything.
If after 5 days you still have drain then it must be some app or config.

hi, my huawei p9 also have battery problem but its kinda different. today before i restart my phone, my battery was left at 42% but after the restart the battery was at 1% and the phone switched off. when i charge it, it starts charging from the previous 42% percent. the battery is also very unstable. sometimes it lasts for long and then suddenly drops very fast with the same usage. is it the battery problem or the hardware. should i change the battery?

Yes thats a known bug. Im waiting for a better nougat version to be honest.

Beter to have a Oreo one on P9, becuase I think that Huawei will not provide to us better version of nougat.

HI everyone.
I have exactly the same issue as here, "SystemAndroid" (with multiple applications) is taking much battery. Some time ago it was more than screen took, however I was able to identify couple of things which were charming battery:
1. SD card was used on Samsung phone and then swapped to P9, formatting it helped a bit.
2. I disabled "Ok google function" as it seems it was keeping microphone always on - few percentage less on SystemAndroid.
3. I have turned off history of location - it helped significantly, now SystemAndroid is on around 17-18% while screen is around 26%.
What also I did:
4. Scanning for BT and Wifi is off.
5. Network data always on is disabled.
6. Wifi is set to do not keep it in sleep.
7. Only 3 applications has unchecked cleaning while screen is locked.
8. Removing of messanger, whatsupp etc did not bring any results.
9. Removing SD card also didn't help.
10. Factory reset didn't help.
11. Clear partition cache also didn't help
But still.. most of people has SystemAndroid very low, around 6-9%. I have no idea what to do next to get rid of it. What is strange I set all settings 1:1 comparing with my second phone (P10 Lite) and on P10 lite there is no issue with this. Same apps, same setting, different usage for SystemAndroid. I had this with B397 and now with B398. Any ideas what could be the reason?

[Help] Xperia Z shut down at 30% battery

Hello
I have xperia z 5.1.1 stock rom i have noticed that my phone suddenly shut down at 30% of battery and when i charge it at 60% and turn on the device it turns to 92%., any solution.
thanks

1. dial *#*#7378423#*#* this will open up service menu. check battery health.
2. if battery health is good (very little possibilities given your condition) do a full factory reset.
3. If battery health is good and factory resetting doesn't help, you may give custom roms a try. There are plenty of them to play around for xperia Z . I'm rocking LOS 15.1 in my z and working perfectly.
