A poor battery life of z5 compact,and other problems

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.

Just because you close an app, it doesn't mean that they won't work on the background

Yeah,I know.But I don't know how to manage them.Maybe we all can't.Some apps in my country need many many jurisdictions.To be honest,they just like rascal even if I download them from google play.Besides,other apps like ins. and twitter  etc. also work on the background.

Last night,I charged  it to 100%,open stamina,close LTE and lifelog.After 8h,I found it was  still have 98% ,it's better than before.But when I use it,the battery life is very weak(with stamina on).During 2h,maybe light  screen time just 20-30mins,battery life only have 88%.

Waiting for 6.0.Hope it can make me satisified.

If it's uploading and downloading it should be shown at data usage. Or remove all the third party app and see it the battery life is still same?

Same problem like everyone else. Are active on some norwegian boards and basically everyone have the same problem.
The battery is less then my old z1c and the phone is sometimes sluggy (when getting hot). Its sad, because when it work it really works. I cant understand how a phone like this with a premium price can face issiues like this. This was my third sony mobile and also my last. I cant trust Sony after this and I really are trying to enjoy the phone. Also tried a resett, debugging and basically everything "on the list" without any result. 

Sadly Im stuck with this phone since I have had it for over a month and hopefully a newer update will be able to adress a lot of this problem.

I  update  to the new system 3 days ago.It might be sony's problem or android selves.Now,I open the stamina all the battery life and use it nomally.This device could last about  one day!!(mid use)Not two days!Much better(with stamina on) than iphone6.But I'm still not satified.And sometimes this device is not fluency.When I've installed all apps I need,I play antutu on this device,It is about 55000,but  the next day,I run it again,It just have about 45000.It's amazing!!!Both test with the stamina off!!!  I feel confused!

I can also play the safety model,but I think this reason are caused by lifelog,wifi scan,and google's service.BTW I can't find any apps in my wasting battery list.And the data usage can only find the apps which used LTE,not wifi?During all the night,I still stay in a wifi environment(with the LTE on).

If I don't want to root it,maybe I have no idea to manage the apps'  jurisdictions!!!It seems that 6.0 can  change it?

I just recieved my new Sony Xperia z5, and must say I miss my old Sony Xperia z3c Slightly_frowning_Face

The battery life on the Xperia z5 is so bad. I have turned stamia on, turned wifi off, turned location/gps off, turned auto screen brightness off, noticifaction sync is on every 1 hours.

When it is 100% charged the phone says that with stamia i have 21 hours battry use, and with out 7 hours. It can't even hold a total day on a charge.

SONY! what have you done!!!! Use to be happy about having a Xperia because it rocks on the battery, but now you are loosing to Apple iphone!

Been reading alot on the internet now, and I can see that every Xperia z5 owners is having battery issues. So a replacement would not even fix the problem.

Rating 2/6 stars!
