Phone uses more battery after update to Android 6.0

After upgrading my Sony Xperia Z3 to Android 6.0 version of the phone it has become impossible to work:
1. Phone ceased to hold the battery. Discharging 3 times more often!
2. Remove the Stamina mode and ultra Stamina.
3. Removed convenient mode without sound with the setting timing (using only the vibration mode is available volume buttons)
4. When outgoing calls after dialing the phone slows down 15 seconds, after which only is a challenge!
5. I can not log into the application "Yandex Disk." Writes: "The application is stopped Yandex"
 
6. It was not easy camera control:
   
A) button before the photo and video were there and did not have to make unnecessary movements
   
B) is up to the shooting mode you will reach so do not have time ... (((
   
C) of the photo editor removed the ability to add text. well, or well hidden.
I bought a year ago, could not get enough - get enough (((DISAPPOINTED !!! phone has become absolutely squalid !!!

I'm sorry to hear that.

One possible reason for higher battery usage is that one or more of your downloaded apps are not fully compatible with the new Android version or needs to be reinstalled. To test if this is the cause you can restart the phone in safe mode. In this mode it will not load any 3:rd party apps.

Factory Reset resolved my battery drain issue.

I also hope that they will reintroduce the Stamina mode and the other battery saving features.

Unfortunately, the Android system started again to drain over 60% of the battery.

Perhaps indeed an app is doing this but I'm not using exotic ones...

So glad it's not just me. Hating the update. WiFi connection problems, battery dies quickly and miss the stamina mode where I could stop the data trolling non stop all day. Lost some phone numbers and documents too.
Sort it out please

I reinstated my aps like was suggested so waiting to see if that helps. Turned off auto synch too. Still having issues with phone connecting to my WiFi though which never happened before.

Guys, i have receiced android 6.0.1 update few days ago and also am very unhappy with battery live. The only good thing on this phone was battery live with stamina mode and this update destroyed it. I'm trying to get as much as possible from this update now. First of all i had phone wakeup problem, battery status was showing that phone is not going into deep sleep. Looks like It was fixed after factory reset (phone did reset itself being in the pocket). Now the problem is wifi always on. It's always green line in battery status, even the wifi is off. How to disable it? Scanning in location meniu is off. Thanks

Same issues here. Major battery drain and noticeable heat increase immediately after update to Android 6.0.1.

Charge will not even last 12 hours without using phone. Please fix this Sony.

I confirm that the phone after the update has worsened , lacking stamina . The display even if set to go off after 15 ' is always on . At least let the chance to go back ! So Sony does not respond .

Can you check if bluetooth and wifi scan for improving location is on. Also make sure wifi always on while sleep. Check if media share is on. Try disabling unuseg gapps. Enable auto sync but remove unnessacry sync options.
