Z5 battery life

[ril3k1]

my new Z5 only 5 days old has been running out of juice within 8 hours of light use.

battery stamina is on.

screen brightness only 14%

emails sync every hour instead of push

gmail on push

what could the problem be? the software updated when i was setting up the phone last week but apart from that same setting as my Z2 which can last slightly more than a day on same setting..

which theme are you using ?

[MILIM]

yes same here as well, in normal mode it says 2 days battery life but now in full charge it says only 5 hours ??? what happened ? is this happened with me or with others as well ? im so pissed

i'm using the Tri Flat theme .. not some live theme that  juice

i have 4 email accounts 

2 are on refresh every hour

1 is on manual pull

1 push

same settings as my Z2. Batt stamina is on from 100%. 

one thing i noticed is when i activate the restrict performance in batt stamnia, the battery dropped only 1 1% over the course of 1 hour. but it stops auto sync which defeats the purpose of having a smart device

after i deactivate it, the batt appear to drop 2% or more % every hour............

Tell me about it. I use mine the other day, not massive use. Watched a couple of YouTube videos, listened to music for about an hour. Had a podcast on for 90 minutes and had 17% battery left.

far worse than the Note 3 I upgraded from

[ril3k1]

over the weekend, i made the following changes

1. delete 2 email accounts which refresh hourly from the exemption list in battery stamina mode

2. activated extended usage function

3. removed an hourly update from another App.

seems to have some minor improvements. managed to drag battery life till end of day. see screenshots.

Hi,

From all your screenshot it seems google play srvice is just there.

try this method to see if it gonna help to improve.

Check this out and let usd know if it work for you.

Get into phone settings > Security > Apps with usage access >

Off what you think that is not needed I.e if google play services seems the one that Drains the bat. try to switch it off and monitor for few days to see if this works well for you.
