A poor battery life of z5 compact,and other problems

[sonnny]

This is a big problem ,because this is one of the key reasons for me  to buy it.I'm very disappoint.When I close the screen and shut all the apps down(without  stamina and  lifelog still on).During a night,it waste me 13% of battery life(91%-78%).Then I check the battery manage,I find someting is wrong.Z5 compact often self-awake,but I have no idea.I used Iphone6 which just spend 1%-2% battery life(100%-99%/98%;without do something specially;with ios8) a  night.    Other problems is that:I can't mange jurisdiction of apps,I only can accept or reject,but other phones can easy to manage them,like ios,also in other android phones like samsung (also with up 5.0,not 6.0).I have it for ten days and Z5 compact restart  twice!So many bugs and problems!!Fix them please!Fingersenor is not good.And photo is very very red.Besides,photo is bumpy.

greetings,

there is absolutly nothing wrong with your device or the battery. when the device is new it does not know the behaviour of your usage so its default is up to 2 days plus and with stamina mode 4 days. i know it was like that in the begenning in my case. then when the battery got drainned and recharged for few times  to 100% it shows different time. its normal as the satimina mode learned your usage and this how long it lasts in your case now. mine i heavily use it and it learned my usage behaviour and now when it is 100% it shows only 14 hours with stamina mode on. its totally normal. i was thinking the same way as you did and i did a useless factory reset and i got the 2 days plus mark again and i was happy about it but as soon as you use the device and recharge it few times the time frame is changed based on your usage, in my case it was 14 hours as mentioned. in the beggining it learns your usage and based on that it calculate the new estimated time. 

by the way your doing pretty good, i am quite sure you do not use your device heavily because if you do it will show hours not days lol.

Do all of you think your device's screen a little red when it show white things  with the newest system?

Hey guys,

I'm an owner of the Xperia Z5 compact for a week now. I'm overall satisfied with this beauty but, coming from the Z3 compact, the battery life is not good at all. With moderate use I can get through a day, but surely not a day and a half or 2. I make use of the STAMINA mode but that doesn't seem to make a big difference.

Anyone else with this issue?

My feelings entirety Z5_user. I am majorly disappointed with the battery I bearly get a day out of it with moderate use. The z3 compact was a lot better. What are sony going to do about it though?! We can all post and complain but really what is the point. I think the best way is to say we won't purchase another Sony phone again although they have a lot of potential.
My phone has a crack on the back and I have no idea how that happened and with the poor battery life I am dissatisfied for a £500 piece of kit!

I understand your frustration @Softytop! I hope the marshmallow update of Android will optimize the battery performance. I've also noticed that the camera software is way too aggressive. I get sharp and vibrant shots in sufficient light. But when I have a low light situation, the photos come out very grainy with a tremendous loss of detail. I hope Sony will address the issues mentioned.

Hi, my z5 compact did not facing the problem you have.

You can try shut down all your application and your connection including wifi or data before you sleep.

Boost your phone with clean master always.

You phone have 8 processor inside, if you didn't shut down app, sure it will cut your battery power faster.

Battery life is really poor. So poor. They should do something with it. Lost 5-10% during night with turned wifi amd mobile data off. Not normal. In my battery percentage I could count secs how fast it's discharging... And why just 2700 mAh battery.  Newer flagship equals lower battery capacity. Weird.

So I´ve had help with this before, and I think that the issue is Google Play Services. I deleted the cache, forced closed it, unistalled all updates and reinstalled them. The battery got instantly better but it got worse throughout the week.

Google might have the blame for this (maybe Play Services don´t work well with the z5).

(Edit): I found this, it might be worth a try.
