Any issuess with battery drain... My Z2 after latest update drains battery with screen OFF... wery annoying. Before update.. 100 - 98% - 5 hours not using... now: same 5 hours not using 100 - 88% no apps in background, device in sleep mode - 24%, google services - 12%, screen ready - 5%, android system - 4%. Where the power is going?

I guess they did the same thing they've did with xperia t... an update to just overclock the device... The T model was OC by 20mHz just to make the screens smoother, but the battery consumption grow. Now the Z2 is smoother and is loosing battery quicker, which shouldn't happen when making the menus faster by deleting useless stuff.

@hedrox

Which version of Google Play Services do you have? 4.4.52 builds were known to keep the phone awake and drain battery. The 24% used by yours in sleep mode suggests this is happening (or something else is keeping the phone awake in sleep mode).

I have 5.0.84 and don't see this kind of battery drain - 5% today.

I guess Google Play Services should have received the update on your device, but let's check what you have anyway.

that is the latest 405 revision, launched in may.. received it bout a month ago, and the battery has started to drain itself while in pocket... previous ver it was B.55 or something, and was much more "economic". The same google services from beginning... FB, and mails checked when screen is ON. updates set to Only Wi-Fi, Stamina ON, Wi-fi on localization ON. GPS OFF, NFC OFF. Stamina says 2 days and 14 hours of wait time... previously I could easly get 4 days 10 hours.
Google services with these 24% are really suspicious as they are controled by stamina itself. I only receive calls and SMS in pocket no updates til I'm home, so nothing changed noticable, just the battery drain. Tried to reset, and hard shut down, still after reboot google is on first place before screen and system.
