Poor battery life

I have very poor battery life on my Z5P. Can some one help? Take a look a this charts.

I had lifelog activated half the time.
Google all screen voice command
Less than 50% brightness
Forced 3G (4G  in my country)
Google fotos automatic sync

Well because Im new I cannot post pictures, but I will describe:

100%-15% From 6:30 AM to 1:30PM
11% Screen on (Total screen on 1:30 hrs.)
4% Spotify
3% FB messenger
3% SO Android
2% Facebook
2%Chrome
2% Cellphone on stand-by
2%Google services

Maybe this is normal- Can someone help ?

We'll need more info to better assist you

charge the phone 100% use it as you normally would then once the battery reaches 10%

settings >  battery > tap on the battery 

1. the list

2. tap on the graph and take a screenshot

3. back > tap on the top 4 items on the list > take a screenshot of each 

post them all here or upload the screenshots to box or dropbox or google drive or etc and post the link

Maybe this helps.

I'm going to make another lets called it experiment:

Lifelog disabled.

Google fotos sync only when charging.

Google all screen voice command disabled.

But still I souldnt have to do this. A lot of people is getting an all day experience with this list enabled, while Im getting maybe half day with light to moderate usage.

There's nothing wrong with your phone, the WiFi it's on all the time and something keeps your phone awake most of the time.

Also, I did this test some days ago:

How can this be that the phone gave 6hrs screen on all the time .

And 8 hrs battery with 1 30hrs screen on?

Thanks for replying so fast.

If you check the other screenshot, the network coverage it's poor (hence the yellow/red colors) and that will have a huge impact on the battery life.

That is also weird since the one with poor signal recepetion is the one ocation that phone gave me 6hrs screen battery on all the time. And today that my phone reception was good, the phone gave 8 hrs battery lifetime but with only 1 30 hrs screen on.

Thanks.

There are myriad factors, but as long as you keep WiFi on all the time, there are a lot of apps and services that will run in the background, like backing up photos/videos, auto updating apps, syncing email accounts, etc.
