Battery drain

Hello all.

Is it fair to say that my new z4 tablet will take a few cycles for the battery to hold its charge.?  I know my Samsung devices do, and im sure most other products.  Just wondering if this was the same.

Thanks you

Colin..

It'll be wise to reinstall the latest update with PCC, it will smooth things out and improve battery life

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

 

 

 

Alternatives on How to backup Xperias

I wouldnt have a clue how to do this.  Can you help with that maybe?

Again its only two days old, will the charge cycles not help.  Also i have the keyboard attached all the time, connected via bluetooth I believe.  This wont help with the drain will it?

Thanks

Colin..

it's quite simple install PC Companion on your computer or Bridge on your mac > support Zone > repair 

settings > power management > battery > check the graph and the list, what has been using the battery?

Hi @Sony5100!

If you still notice a drain a few days after the software repair then have a look at the tablet's battery usage, Settings > Power management > Battery usage, when the battery is down to around 25% or less to see what has been using most of the battery.
