hey guys, hows your battery doing with heavy usage ?
and whats the idle power draw with screen off? because desire s has 20 mah... thats not exatcly right.. should be 6-7 mah tops imo.
Yup, power draw shows most on the display on mine too. Wonder why, but the battery life is kinda good though.

well tbh that wasnt exatcly the question. its kind of obvious the display uses most power
but how long does it last on lets say heavy usage ? and the other thing- what is the power draw with the screen OFF ? in mah

Had a couple of boring days at work, and managed to take at least 80% of the battery life in a 8 hour day with moderate to heavy use.
Not as good as the iphone 4 I had before, but better than the Desire, Galaxy S etc... decent but not mindblowing battery life.
Excuse me for my bad English
I think the battery is consumed by heavy programs or let's say programs consume battery like Live Wallpaper.
Live Wallpapers consume a lot of battery that many experts say don't use it if you don't want it.
I didn't buy the phone yet but I will after two weeks.

Gladly reporting that the battery life on the IS is extremely satisfactory considering the display and other capabilities.
Got the phone a couple of days back, the first day i charged fully.
The usual setting up of the phone, bluetooth transfers, internet via 3g & wi-fi, gaming, and of course the regualr calls & sms.
The battery lasted me over 13 hours.. still had 14% when i decided to charge again.
now with the usage a little lesser that the excitement has gone down a tad bit, the battery is really efficient.
close to a day (maybe more) with above average usage.
btw, also noticed the battery usage does not seem to vary much with the usage of any task killers

My battery life so far has been pretty good, my old iphone used to die mid/late afternoon with the sort of usage I put my IS through yesterday (first charge)
Went to work around 8 am, checking emails and facebook every 30 minutes aswell as texting on and off all day. Watched movies and listened to music through lunch hour, downloaded apps. Continued the same as the morning through the afternoon.
Got home and was on it constantly (ebuddy, doubletwist, facebook, market) from 5 till around midnight when it finally died.
Very happy with it.

and lol ! if you did all that on the first charge of the phone ... you do know that the battery life increases significantly after a few weeks of usage ?
I use my z less often and if I play temple run for 5 minutes , it drains nearly 4% of the battery..is it normal? And it doesnt charge in half an hour as said n the box..even with phone switched off..
Others please post your battery status

I had a couple of 4hrs screen time (data only) on the last firmware but on. 434 i never have..max was 3hrs40 mins but note this was all data with no Wi-Fi whatsoever..
I love my XZ, BUT the terrible battery life is getting to me. I am not a heavy user but I don't make it to the end of the day. And then it takes forever and ever to charge.
I am very disappointed with the phone in that respect, and if I would have realized this before I bought it, I would have probably not bought this phone.
Good Sony good.

use Stamina mode
battery is still problem with all smartphones
S III worked even worse for me
it used 10% after full charging in standby mode after few minutes But
xperia Z s using 0 % in more than 2hrs in standby mode
try to manage ur background apps.
i recommend to use xperia app manager and don use another task manager and etc.
re: Battery
I have an Acro HD, Galaxy Note, Sharp SH003, Sony Mini, and the Z. I don't see that the Z's battery is all that worse than the others. I leave WiFi on all the time for all of them (so I don't need to pay or care about data plans...)
Specifically, I usually watch TV for an hour on the way to work and another hour on the way home (the hardware 1seg feature or Hulu type service).
I may play with it sometimes during the day. I leave Skype, Groove IP, and some Japanese VOIP apps running all day too, and I don't charge it until I get home.
Even so, I get home and my battery is over 40-50%.
So obviously it's not that bad.
The note is better because it has a bigger battery I think. The iPhone is better because.. well you can't *have* stuff like Skype run reliably in the background.
Of course according to Sony's white paper, the processor is quad core, but the cores are powered up and down as needed. If you play heavy games or something it may power up all four cores and kill the battery faster.
new experiment :
Phone is well and good in deep sleep.
I charged my battery to 100 yday night, and didnt use anything.it barely used power...now my battery is on 99 today morning
May be devs should include fast charge support and other battery tweaks to make it interesting..sony cant be very confident about their software and give us a low capacity battery..hope there ll b a battery wid good capacity available on ebay which we could replace..

So we have all read reviews of the device and the battery performance. From all the reviews I read with various takes on the battery life, I can conclude one thing: HTC One has amazing stand by time but the 1080p screen undeniably consumes significant amount of power.
In other words, the best way to save power is not to use it. But you guys have better solutions, battery pack? battery case? which brand? Please share your thoughts.
I use a 7000mAh power bank from A-Solar.
With this, I can charge two phones or cameras.

As in im supposed to be revising for exams, as a uni student, and therefore have had alot of time procrastinating, playing with the phone .
Since ive had mine last week, ive non stop been using it, playing games, using camera, and normal day to day activities, and i must say, im sooo impressed with the battery over the One X,
For example, my One x would come off charge about 7am, by 4 - 5pm i would be charging it again. On my One i take it off the same time, and dont need to charge it till im in bed, approx 11pm - 12am.
Its brill!
Here's some of the things i've been doing since the hero days, a lot of you will know these but here they are anyway
Turn off auto brightness, move it to as low as you can bare.
Switch off all wireless controls when not in use. 3G, GPS, BT, Wifi, NFC.
Turn all email and syncs to manual (personally i leave google alone)
Try not to have a live wallpaper
Try to reduce the amount of active widgets you have.
If possible don't install apps with ads all over them, especially with push notifications, 10 or so of these on your phone can cause real problems with battery.
Use autostarts (responsibly) to reduce what starts up and when for example: Wild blood and Nova 3 (both paid for games) start up with your phone, nuke them with autostarts, there are many more.
Give your phone some full cycles of charge every now and again.
Don't use task killers and always close apps unless you really need to go back to it.
Install better battery stats and check for wakelocks, deal with them and then remove better battery stats, periodically check for them, once a month or every flash.
Try not to overcharge, if youre really picky then get a timed socket, so it'll only charge for the time that you set it to.
There are more but you get the picture, i personally get about 24 hours roughly, maybe more, i tend to charge at night time, this being my third HTC One, and that is roughly the average i got.
Hope this helps.
Fix your wakelocks, use the powersaver mode but only check data connection and CPU settings, only select reduce brightness if you're willing to deal with incredibly difficult sunlight visibility.

Most of these are decent. Recommending full charge cycles is not. There is no reason to drain to nothing and then charge to full. In fact, that represents a full charge cycle, and each battery has a limited number of cycles it will do. The more you do it, the more the battery degrades.

Agree on the first part... cycling isn't good, it also increases heat in battery which will only degrade the life of the battery, only good that comes out of it is that the battery percentage is correct, meaning it is used to make sure that the percentage you're seeing is correct but the battery life will stay the same.
Also, I thought that a charger cuts out once it has charged the phone, and so overcharging is not possible

Well i've been doing the same thing for my whole life and i've had mobile phones for a long time and the battery for me has never been an issue.
I'm not saying to cycle it all the time, but i would do it every now and again, bare in mind that the battery will degrade after around a year anyway, even worse after two. There isn't a lot you can do in that time that will change that.
Cycling isn't going to hurt the battery at all.

Well if you pop into a phone shop and notice that the screens on the phones sometimes become a bit dodgy, up until you remove the charging cable at least, and then it begins to work again.
Plus the batteries degrade heavily on those phones that have been charged all the time, so over charging definitely has an impact on your battery.
I don't care what anyone says about it not taking charge, overcharging is bad for your phone, excessive over charging anyway.

Cycling the battery does nothing for the run time except degrade it. Obviously, occasionally, isn't going to make a difference. But lets not pretend that running the battery all the way down and then charging it back up does anything at all except to use up a full charge cycle.
You're also using overcharge incorrectly. Overcharging is going beyond the limit of the battery, and this often results in flames. What you're talking about is constantly topping off while on charger overnight. So like 100>99>98>100>99>98>100 etc. That is bad for the battery, yes.
All cycling does for ur battery is make sure ur battery is reporting it's level correctly.. Nothing else. It's useful after flashing custom roms.. But it doesn't improve ur battery life or time.
I would always cycle my new phone for a few charges but after that I wouldn't bother. I've nearly always had an extra battery kit but obviously u can't do it with the htc one.

It's strange that battery lives are variant according to your feedback, my guess is because the screen panels are from variant manufacturer.
As for myself, unplugged at 7:30am, by about 9pm I usually have less then 25%, 3hrs web surfing (using 3G), around 20 min call, one hour gaming and some texts. I think moderate would be a better word for One's battery. Sure a big improvement of One X but still no where near iPhone 5

Youre literally confirming what i've already written? Stop trying to grab brownie points lad.
cycling the battery isn't going to hurt it if you do it every now and again (LIKE I SAID) as another user has said, it helps with stats and calibration.
To save the battery life , Is it ok to charge the phone even if the battery has 40 percent ? Or I should recharge it when it is less than 15 percent ?

Exactly,
I always (try to) charge my phone when battery shows in between (15-20%). I keep it plugged in for 1.5 hours till it reaches 95%+
Charging at 40% means you have used one of the charging cycle of a battery and i've read somewhere that every battery has 1000 charging cycles..
Yes..its better not to go there..
My friend uses iPhone 5 and he gets like one whole day with moderate usage (2 hours 3G, 1 hour of gaming, 2 Hours music.,30 minutes of calling & whatsapp ) .. i think the term moderate is different for everyone..

So, i bought XP few weeks ago, comming from z3.
I am very disappointed from the battery, compared to z3.
Want to ask you how many SOT you have, cos when i'm outside using lte i barely make like 3,5 SOT. Even dont have facebook app to drain the battery.
For 5min telegram chat it goes down with 2%.
Thats why wanted to ask you guys hows your battery life because i'm starting to thinking that my device is faulty or deffect.
Please share your thoughts on that, for 4 hours from 100 it went to 75now with only 30mins SOT
Might be a factory defect, my Xperia x performance always reaches a little bit over 5 hours of screen on time.
Have you seen details on battery usage?
Anyway, I can say that battery lives on Z3+,Z5,Z5 Premium are no match for Z3. See battey test on GSMARENA and you will see that XP got a lot less number compare to Z3 as well.
Yeah, sure its 400mah difference between z3 and xp, but still i think something is wrong, may be on wi fi only i can make 4,5-5h SOT but on lte, impossible.
Here some screenshots from today, took it around 9am from the charger

It doesn't have the WiFi bug that the xa had on release by any chance. Not letting the device reach sleep properly, workaround is to turn off scanning always available inc when screen is off in settings WiFi advanced. It's since been fixed on the xa with a update appently, I'm still waiting on the update to hit the UK

When i browse the web, or just chat it goes down very fast, draining as hell. Phone gets warm only from browsing and chat, here is 35degrees, but still i'm not using it against the sun, even now since i type this it went with 1% down from the beginning of the post writing wich is basically 2-3mins.
So when i use the phone w screen on then its the draining. My wi fi is off now i'm outside
Many people suffer battery drain from Google service (especially when they're using WiFi). However, I dont see anything suspicious from your picture except your signal strength. Very low signal strength would drain your battery real fast as well. I suggest you turning off cellular signal for a day, use only WiFi, and then see your battery consumptiom at the end of the day.
Another thing I would like to mention is battery capacity. Z3 and Z3+ has battery different of 150 mAh but from my personal experience Z3+ would last around 60% of what Z3 could. Its not only about battery itself, its also about what Sony managed on the kernel level to optimize power consumption. Sody has done very bad on this since snapdragon 810 era.
I made a soft reset, will see if there is any difference afrer 2-3 charging cycles.
Another thing is i'm living in Bulgaria, here my operator just introduced the LTE, so the network i s*** may be thats the case will listen to your advice. And try 1day without a cellular.
5 hours of almost continuous use, some of them using battery intense apps and games like Pokémon Go, most of it just reading stuff on Chrome at 50% screen illuminating consumes around 50% of battery for me. So if you're losing 98% charge iin 5 minutes, your phone probably suffers from some kind factory defect.
In 5-6 mins use SOT(browsing and checking instagram i'm loosing exactly 1-2% if i'm outside lets say 3%max if the screen need to be full brightness, hows yours?
Dont play pokemon, even dont have fb app, only instagram, shazam, telegram, viber and whatsapp and chrome.

Go to settings location tap the three dots top right then turn both the sliders to the off position WiFi and Bluetooth are scanning in the background even if they are both turned off in main settings. Makes a huge difference to the battery life on my xa.

Thanks, but allready done that, maximum i achieved 3h 38m SOT from 9am till 11pm, with LTE mostly, on wi fi i believe i can make 4hours SOT
I think battery capacity is the culprit that 400 is a big difference i used z5 premium and i got 4hrs sot only they should put there 3000 to 3200 mah on 5 inch screen Hope they fix their design im starting to dislike sony
I am testing as well at the moment. I hardly manage to get through the day. I am still investigating as it is quite hard without root. That was yesterday.

I couldn't agree more Ice! I too came from a Z3, and the battery life on my XP is really disappointing. The 2 day battery life promise DIED IMO when the Z series ended. These new batteries suck. lol Way too small. The XP I saw was rated as having the WORST battery life of any 2016 flagship (even less than XZ's) AND the longest charging time. Kind makes me wish I'd waited for the XZ. lol Or just got the HTC 10 maybe, which lasts 70 minutes longer than the XP can. But XP and XZ have the better camera, so tough call. Camera or battery life? If HTC 11 bumps up the camera (10's was very good to great but XP's is excellent) another notch over 10, I may be switching back to HTC (used to have the One M8).
I have uninstalled or disabled the majority of bloatware including the Facebook app, but still. One day 6 weeks ago I had to leave early so was on a train by 6am. Even after enabling Stamina Mode and turning off phone 2-3 times over the day, by like 8 or 9pm that night, I was down to 5%! That is awful man. lol I'm really getting fed up with Sony and their BS, even though I do love my phone overall. But battery life is a major factor for me, as is camera and performance.

I hope they do Ice, but I have little faith a software update is gonna make any real difference vs. the other 2016 flagship competition. And if it does, it will probably improve the competition's battery life too..............aka, very little difference. But I'll take whatever they can give me I guess. Not even sure if I will still be with Sony next year. DEF keeping my eyes on LG and HTC, who both currently have better battery life too than the XP and even the XZ (and lower charging times too).
Well, what's sad is despite the XZ's larger battery capacity, it's STILL only the SECOND worst on battery life vs. the 2016 flagship competition's, right behind the XP. lol I believe it only has like 30-40 min over the XP at best. Where the HTC 10 for example has a solid 70 min over the XP. And that's still on the low end, but at least there's a lot LESS BS when it comes to HTC phones than Sony's (though Sony's still have the slightly better camera, but that may not be the case with the 11 next year). And the audio quality and volume of the 10 def seems superior to what Sony is giving us these days vs. the competition. 2 years ago, it was much more equal, but in 2016, HTC took a big step forward while Sony seems to have taken 1-2 steps back. See my threads on Head-Fi for more on that (if you wish) here and here.
as it has a bright screen, I find that using a black theme and customize as much apps to black helps. Normally it can last a full day and it will have 30 percent left. I'm not a heavy user though.
Guys tell me about the battery i want this phone but i need battery that last at least full day sorry for my bad english

If you turn your brightness to 1/4, no gps, no bluetooth, you'll make it through te day with like 5 hours SOT.
have been using Rog 3 about a month and noticed that the battery is not that great especially if we consider it is a 6000mha, at least in my device
thought i would share some screenshot to my battery and hear your opinions if you think it is OK or there is something wrong
What did you expect? Your battery life is pretty normal for a 6000mah battery device. Not piss poor. Not great. Just normal. Were you expecting 3 days standby time with normal usage?
I might see it wrongly but the first pic is showing the phone is up 1 day 9hrs without charging, that's more than what I would asked for.

Something is wrong with your set. Please get a refund from the seller. Even by playing PUBG or COD in X-Mode at max brightness does not drain from 100% to 0% in 3 hours.

i lose 2% from 100 to 98 direct after 5 or 10 minutes when the phone is fully charged without even using the phone at all

New phones have 5000-6000 mah with either Snapdragon 700 series or mediatech . This processor uses it pretty well giving 10-11 hours sot to me

Can't compare a 60hz screen with a phone giving 144hz screen. The drain of the screen will be much heavier than 60hz.
The 6000 mah battery is really good when you compare from specs point of view. Higher CPU clock speed, higher GPU clock and higher screen refresh rate and faster and more RAM. A Ferrari will use much more gas than a standard car even your Ferrari have a bigger gaz tank.
I can use this phone without ever think about getting out of juice before I get to sleep.
In the last 7 hours I used my phone for 4h20, playing game during 2 hours (COD and PUBG) and 50% of the battery remaining. So if I keep using the phone that way it means that I could run out of battery with about 8h SoT and 4 hours of gaming. I never had a phone allowing me to play that many hours of high quality games with all graphics to max.

Yes, I don't know a phone that gives you the perfect battery calibration. This phone show a loss of battery really fast in the first 10% then afterward it is slower.
I remember my Sony Z Ultra was really slow to lose the first 10% then battery was dropping really fast until reaching 20 25. And the remaining battery was longer to be used than the 60 previous %.
Or my HTC Sensation XE that could be used about half a day to drop from 5% to 0.
