Sony Xperia Z5 battery drain overheating

My Z5 cannot last longer than 6 hrs with normal use, it cannot even last on standby for more than 6 hours. I'm hoping it's just a software bug because since November my phone has been working flawlessly. It also changes very slowly and that's on quick charge using the official Sony charger that came with the phone. It won't even recognize on my pc when I plug it in.

Hi im also having issue with the battery, just got my phone this week and with moderate usage half a day my battery was already empty. Is this really an issue?

Sadly it has been like this since day one with z5 for the most people. Comming from both Z and Z1 it was shocking to read all the stories not just here but in the norwegian forum about the weak batteri. It really is weird because in standby its good. However as quick as you turn on your phone it start burning trough your battery and the phone getting a lot more hotter then the previous ones. Tried to resett the phone to fabric standard without any luck. Calling a spade a spade Sony should recognized this issiue and accept that its probably the snapdragon together with the firmware.

I can understand that Sony getting away from the Z series since Z5 is the worst one yet and its getting a bad reputation. And sadly from my part, the last phone from Sony. Tired to charge my phone twice a day and trying everything, even fabric standard too see if it could help. Because I really wanted to like this phone, when it works it really works but when it starting to get hot, it starting to get random latencys, every times. Hopefully 6.0 will adress something of this and even here Sony seems not to deliver. How long have 6.0 been out? What abbout the other phones ? http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/134946-when-is-android-6-0-marshmallow-coming-to-my-phone
