XZ1 Battery life?

neilfaefife — Sun, 26 Nov 2017 11:03:49 GMT

Hi.

Recenly upgraded my trusted Z5 to the XZ1 and it's a fantastic phone. HOWEVER ..... After having it a few days I have noticed the following, firstly when taking the phone off charge and checking the battery drain, it claims to have only around 1 day and 6 hrs and when i use it to check social media or look at a web page it can lose aeound 3% in 5 minutes. I applied the software repair through XC and my first checks looked promising and it displayed a stand by of over 4 days. I used the phone all day yesterday as normal and at the end of the day (16 hrs use) it had around 35% left,popped in charge overnight and after 10 mins use this morning it has dropped 5% nd saying just over a day left of standby. Any ideas guys?

Not seeing that on my XZ1.

Can you please post a screen shot of your battery usage? It can help us more in solving your problem.

Hi, well I wouldn't say xperia xz1 has the best battery performance among the rest of flagships but certainly isn't the worst. For me is a great performer, it gives me around 4 or 5 hours of screen on time and 16 hours on battery, using it for work(mail check and write) , always with cellular data on, whatsapp, maybe 1 hour of YouTube and around 0.5 to 1 hour in calls. At the end of all that still get home with 25% or 35%. Almost every day from 7 am to 12 pm it goes from 10% to 75% and from 12 pm to 9 pm from 75% to 35%. If it goes the same to yours then its okay, I am happy with battery.

That's massively better than what I get. You use 40 percent in 9 hours? Mine can gobble up 70 percent easy.

I was getting frustrated with the battery drain when idle. About 2 percent per hour. There's a quarter of my phone gone doing nothing.

Using Xperia actions I have atleast been able to get through the night using only 1 percent by having Xperia actions turning on airplane mode and battery saving.

Just for reference. I just used about 10 percent in maybe an hour of just light browsing

I'm not a heavy user, so my XZ1 last 48h with 4h SOT. (Facebook, whatsapp, browsing, phonecalling)

I might get 48 hours if I did nothing. 2 percent idle drain per hour, a very conservative estimate

The battery performance is massively reduced after the Android 8 update. When will this be rectified by Sony with an ota patch? I never get a day out of the device and I am a light to moderate user....

Sorry it is done with a 105% charge

I charged an extra 5% so i can take screenshots after using 100% of the battery.

So subtract 5% if u want.

I had better battry life before updating to the latest FW 47.1.A.2.374

Tomorrow will try to make a screenshot at 10%.

8 hours screen on time?! I don't know what you are complaining about, one of the longest I've seen

@uliwooly

I know, was sharing my results.

@Kycpokemon

true, wasn’t complaining, i just noticed in the old FW it had a slightly better standby time and now after a week of usage the battery life was optimized.

No. If you see he charged again. The battery graph is going up again. That's why it lasts 8 hours. Better try again with 1 single charge and post it again.

@uliwooly , @kycpokemon

Hi, I use Xperia XZ1 and as everyone says, I am also facing the same Phone idle battery drain. I lost about 17% in 8.40 hrs during night yesterday. Also the everytime, the phone idle is in the top of the list when I check battery usage. It's usage and the time last full charge time is always same. I tried turning off the wifi scanning, turned 'keep wifi on during sleep' to never and still the issue persists. Is there any workaround?

Same here, 1st time i use this phone, the battery was good, but after 3 weeks it drains even though i dont use it, it drains 1 or 2% a couple minutes, i already factory reset my phone and software repair it, but the issue still comes up, then I check with CPUZ App, it shows all CPUs working even no App is running execpt the CPUZ App, its strange that it should be sleeping 2 or 4 Core of the CPUs, but the all works and I think its the problem, help

I have noticed the same thing. I used to get two full days without charging, even with light use. Now I struggle to get through a day on standby. It seems to be since software update was installed.

Well the battery life on my XZ1 is not the best but I would say it's ok. Like 4-5 sometimes 6 hours SOT.

what I noticed is that some apps can drain the battery so badly.

In my case when I pair it with my smartwatch (Gear S3) the SOT dropped to 3-4 hours.

But once it's removed its much better

Same here, using the new FW, the battery drain so much quicker.. When using the old one, I can manage about 20 hours at least from 100% to 30ish.. The phone idle and screen draining it quickly..

Re: XZ1 Battery life?

Guy128 — Thu, 28 Jun 2018 19:57:24 GMT

Hi, the problem seems to have resolved on mine now. I'm back to getting through the day with 70% still available. It last about 36 hours between charges with fairly moderate use. I'm really happy with it.

Cheers

Guy
