Idle battery drain, what's your percentage?

Hello, I'm pretty new to Android and knowing the XZ1took a hit in the battery departement I wasn't shocked about the less than stellar battery life.

But it appears there's more going on with this than I thought. Mainly, 20% for Phone Idle is not normal?! Or is it?

I want to find out and would like to see some numbers from fellow XZ1 users, Just state your Phone Idle Percentage and the time since last charge so we can get a rough idea of Percentage per Hour.

Right now I'm at 9% Phone idle usage for 5.30 hours.

I have never been able to enjoy a near flat line in my graph and Phone Idle uses about 20% between charges.

It got a bit better today after I almost disabled all Battery and Mobile Data usage on nearly All my Apps. Google should have those toggled off by default for installed apps if you ask me.

But it's no where near the mythical flatlines some people get with their 1 to 2% idle use between charges. Is this something to do with Deep Sleep mode? Because the time Phone Idle is up is the same as my time since last charge, it's basically always on.

When i first got my phone the battery seemed good, but after the first update it changed.

Phone idle is always on top, and is eating my battery.

Phone idle starts to count time fom the second i unplug my charger, as of right now phone idle says 10h39m, last full charge, 10h39m, has used 13%, screen 3h39m 10%,  I have 29%battery left.

It seems like phone idle is eating the battery when the screen is ON, when i use my phone, when the screen is off it nearly use any battery.

I have tried safe mode, turning of stuff, but phone idle keeps counting and using battery when the screen is on. I also reset the phone via xperia companion.

3,5 hours of screen is not that bad.
Do you have a lot of social apps or pushed email accounts?

You should post some hardcopies of statistic pages.

Hi, I use Xperia XZ1 and as everyone says, I am also facing the same Phone idle battery drain. I lost about 17% in 8.40 hrs during night yesterday. Also the everytime, the phone idle is in the top of the list when I check battery usage. It's usage and the time last full charge time is always same. I tried turning off the wifi scanning, turned 'keep wifi on during sleep' to never and still the issue persists.  Is there any fix or workaround??  Attached screenshotsWhatsApp Image 2018-01-18 at 09.59.03(1).jpegWhatsApp Image 2018-01-18 at 09.59.03(2).jpegWhatsApp Image 2018-01-18 at 09.59.03(3).jpegWhatsApp Image 2018-01-18 at 09.59.03.jpeg
