Hi all. I know the problem of battery drain has been discessued many times in many forums and threads. My question is a specific one though. I was wondering if the "Double Tap to Wake Up" feature has anything to do with this drain. The "Doze" feature in android 6.0.1 is supposed to keep the phone in low consumption, and I can confirm that on my wife's phone it does. Her phone loses less than %2 battery during the night. But mine loses more. Best case is %5 but most of the time it is %15 or so. Has anybody tested the "Double Tap to Wake Up" feature to see if it really affects doze?

I`have turned this feature off long ago because my phone got activated sometimes while being in my pocket. After the marshmellow update and still not using it i can tell you this, dramatic more battery use in every way.

For me it`s not not Marshmellow but mushmellow.

My phone is doing the same thing, as of Friday the battery has dramatically degraded, and I did the whole software reboot and uninstalled any power saving apps and it did nothing, sony won't do anything other than want me to send off my phone for 2 weeks, while I need it for work.

Is there anything else that can be done?

Hi everyody. Just wanted to post an update and thank every one of you who answered my question. I repaired my device and installed all my apps again. I also activated "tap-to-wake" and "smart call" feature. I did these steps gradually, monitoring my phone every few hours. The "AWAKE" times are now very scares and limited to the times that I really use the phone. So I guess Problem solved. I cannot tell if it was due to some problem in the firmware/OS or just a faulty app though.
