Changed from Z3 to Z5 2 mths ago. The Z5 battery drain really fast. Same usage, same app, same setting as my Z3, but the battery last way way shorter, about 60% of my Z3. Really disappointed.. Another thing is the thumb print sensor.. When you 1st register, its all accurate and good. After sometime, (typically a few days), the accuracy of the sensor will be out.. I need to rely on luck to unlock my screen by thumb print.. i need to re-register the thumb print every few days in order to keep its accuracy high... Pls do something.. If not, this will be my last Sony phone...

Well SONY release updates but do they solve the problem?? Update will not fix your battery crippled by the prevoius update...
I came from Z2. My Z5 has a bad battery life compared to Z2! There are days that I can 4 hours and half SoT. There are days that I can 3 hours. Sometime the percentage drops 2% at once! It is a software problem! Let's wait for the Sony fixed!
Your issue is from the Xperia Z1 Compact, and a lot of your posts were removed because they didn't follow the forum guidelines, now you are posting on Z5 posts, and you are welcome to participate but your issue its on a Z1 Compact don't spread rumors, here are the forum guidelines, yet again

Again, get your Xperia Z1 Compact inspected by your Local support, instead of assuming that Sony is killing your phone through updates.
OK, I will shut up for now 
so uliwooly, can you advise me should i send in the phone for a batt. check?
