z3 battery life normal or not?

Hi, have a feeling that my battery life is draining too fast on xperia z3, It looses 1% every 2-3 minutes when I'm browsing the Web, I have WiFi, 4g, location and auto sync on, also my xperia always on. Is this normal? Last night I got 12 Hours and 40 mins on the battery usage pages at about 33% left and about 4-5 hrs .on the screen on time page?

4G,location and sync are huge battery drainers. It is good that you got that much on a charge.

Thanks for the reply I guess when Sony advertised their z3 battery specs, these mean that the z3 gets the advertised battery life without these things switched on.

They advertised on a normal usage. But you might be able to get more,do you have any battery savers,task killers?

Hi, thanks for the reply, I have battery doctor installed, but only have a very limited understanding of it

I suggest you to remove it and see how it is,you might get a bigger battery life.

Don't think a battery saver app would be draining the battery but thanks for your suggestion, anybody with a z3 with similar usage to mine confirm that my battery drainage is normal?

I would do as alexdon says. Battery saver/management apps are massive drainers.....

Give it a try you'll be surprised at the results

yes i agree with mr_xzibit as well and alexdon about this, all these battery savers drain the battery themself and really dont do anything much so they are just a waste to be on a mobile.
