Xperia Z1 Battery Drain?

Hi All, 

I have the Z1 running Android 4.4.4 and all of a sudden the battery has started to drain whereas normally it would last all day without having to charge and thats not particularly heavy usage. 

Is anyone else experiencing this and where do I start to look into why my phone has changed so recently


Regards,

Hi Sergio, 

Thanks for your time on this. Although it might be behaving as you expected it I definitely think the battery has started to drain a lot quicker than before.

Now that I've removed Gravity Screen (3rd party app) I'll see how the phone performs today with normal usage

Cheers

Maybe you are right. Battery on 4.2 was perfect, then were hard times on 4.3 and 4.4.2, now at 4.4.4 I feel it's better. Maybe that's why. But my phone is one year old and I think that battery is in very good condition.

Hi Sergio, 

Just for reference I took a screenshot after a days normal usage and the battery has fallen to 40%. I have to admit that I've been used to the battery being above 55% at least recently so there is certainly a change. Also, I've only had the phone since April 2014 so it's still very new.

Is this normal as expected?
