Points battery performance on xperia x

Import — Sun, 28 Aug 2016 21:05:00 GMT

I'm not a heavy user but I'm lucky to great 8 hours battery life. I've turned off as much as I can see bug little impact. Stamina activated. Any ideas?

@Import

Do you keep WiFi on all the time?

what has used up most of the battery?

settings > about phone > status > signal strength > what do you see?

Hi @Import,

In this situation I would advise to fully charge the unit to 100%. Once the unit is fully charged use the unit as normal till it reaches around 5-10%.

Once it reaches this amount I would advise to check in Settings > Battery > Show Battery usage, take screenshots of this page and post them here.

This will give us an accurate idea of what part of the phone is using what amount of battery. Once we have this information we can then identify the best course of action or troubleshooting.

I used to have something like this with my Nexus 5, and it was caused by the Google Account Sync stuck in a state where it will keep on trying and it fails every time.

Go into Settings->Account And Sync->Google

If there are any errors there, try to disable and enable it back.

Are there different passwords for Sony more one and the support forum? I can't see my posts in Sony mobile yet both areas use same email address. Very confusing.

Battery life is not great but nowhere near bad. It's very similar to the iPhone 6s I had. However, if you use it it definitely will use some major battery time I've found. Like now I've been on a few forums for the past hour plus and I've noticed pretty fast drainage now. Basically it's just an average output battery. Nothing special as advertised but it's not terrible either. My Moto Z Force on the other hand simply is amazing. The battery goes forever and the quick charge on it is much faster than the X quick charge. The X just has nothing more than a middle of the road battery. Still the phone or the X model is quite a good device as I had the XA first and it it's double the superior factor of the XA.

@Import,

You will need to change to the full version at the bottom of the page. You should have the same account regardless of the browser you're using.

Hi @timpotty,

You have a lot of apps running in the background. Is bluetooth, wifi and NFC always on in general?

Your Android OS is way too high.

The first line should always show Screen.

As for the Play Services, if you disable Location, you should be able to get it off your list.

Have you checked your accounts sync?

WiFi only on at home and known hotshots. Bluetooth and nfc normally on as used regularly. Accounts syncing OK. Location now turned off.

@timpotty,

Can you please see how it performs in safe mode? Basically, just do the same test as you did before but in safe mode.

Sounded really like your problem.

Battery life

I have shocking battery drain on the xperia x

I have had the phone about 4 weeks and it will drain 30-40% in 6 hours when I havent used the phone.

is this normal battery life?

checking the battery life in settings, it appears to be the system which is largely draining the battery, it is also in Stamina mode.

The only problem i thought it might be is that 4g is quite weak where I work and it seems to come and go, I wondered if this was a contributing factor.

any suggestions would be appreciated

thank you 🙂

You can try setting it to 2G or 3G in the settings, it may be constantly switching between the two and 4G if a weak area
