z3 compact draining even when idle

it's just been 2 days and I face heavy battery drain. my phone is always in stamina mode and I'm struggling to reach 1 day limit. I bought this phone because I can use it for 2 days by working too. I first thought battery drains faster because of some apps, but even without using apps battery is draining. screen brightness is low..task manager is clean..stamina mode is on..

during my sleep in lost 20% charge, even though wifi ws off.
screen... cell standby... phone idle..... these three uses max battery...
naturally if this itself uses so much of battery (complete drain in less than 24hr with no great use) then what's the point in having this phone...it contradicts to what Sony boast about z3 compact battery performance.

I expected much more.
what is the issue??

2-day battery life

During battery performance testing conducted between July and September 2014 in a laboratory under active use conditions reflective of the Typical Smartphone User by Sony Mobile Communications AB, the Z3 lasted at least 48 hours on average until battery exhaustion.

Battery performance testing reflective of a Typical Smartphone User usage profile involved using the device for approximately 5 hours in a 24-hour period, for a range of typical usage scenarios (calling, texting, web, social networking, games, camera, music and video). Default settings were applied for the device during battery performance testing including display brightness of 100 Nits and Battery stamina mode off.

  • Typical Smartphone User usage profile. This involved using the device for approximately 5 hours in a 24-hour period, for a range of typical usage scenarios (calling, texting, web, social networking, games, camera, music and video).
