I have my phone since yesterday and charged it to 100%. After that I had some things to install and configure. The phone got from 100% to 40% in juist 3 hours!!! Now on my work I can't get the phone charged, it is using more power than charging.

Hi, hope the following link helps, http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/Battery-time-and-enhancements-features/m-p/347874#U347874

sounds to me like you installed something that isn't working well with your Z1

anything like battery memory cpu task managers etc  are not needed and can cause issues remove them, also remove any other stuff like antivirus or utilities that may conflict with the OS

My new Xperia Z1 is overheating a lot on very minimum use. 

Even when I'm browsing or using the dialer it gets extremely overheated.

While making calls within 30 secs it starts becoming unbearable. I am almost having to use another phone because of this overheating issue. 

Is anyone else having this same problem, or is it just me?

Please let me know ASAP as this is  very serious issue. I didn't expect such poor performance from such a hyped up and well designed phone.

The phone will get warm while using it or running applications. The phone has an built in thermal application that will sense if the phone becomes too hot. Have you received any messages on the phone saying its getting overheated?

If not I suspect it works as intended but if you feel uncertain about this I suggest that you visit your local Sony retailer to have this checked.

I don't have any software like that installed. I know how to reduce energy consumption. Before the Z1 I had an HTC Desire HD rooted with Android 4.2.2 with the original 3 years old 1200Mah battery with the same apps and it lasted longer on a full battery. 

How is the picture below corresponding with the specs from Sony? 

Batterij (geïntegreerd)	Minimaal 3000 mAh
Gesprekstijd (GSM)	Tot 830 minuten**
Stand-by-tijd (GSM)	Tot 880 uur**
Gesprekstijd (UMTS)	Tot 900 minuten**
Stand-by-tijd (UMTS)	Tot 850 uur**
Stand-by-tijd (LTE)	Tot 760 uur**
Muziekafspeeltijd	Tot 110 uur**
Videoafspeeltijd	Tot 400 minuten**

The figures from sony are absolutes in perfect conditions, you need to understand that the harder you push a modern smarphone the more battery it will use, I haven't tried on the Z1 but on my XZ I could run the battery down from full charge to 5% in about 3hrs playing high end 3D games, your phone is designed to last a day with normal usage without recharge, at the moment my Z1 lasts 2 days with a mixed usage and is getting better as I cycle the battery

My phone is currently on battery 9hrs 32mins and is on 85% battery

The phone will learn your usage pattern over time - but remember it's only an estimate and at the end it's up to you

What I see in your posted screen is an estimate that at 90% battery you have 1 day 8hrs left - and 13hrs if you continue your current usage pattern if you think there is something wrong with that then I have no answer for you, there are many things you can do to reduce battery drain, it will also make a difference as to how you use your phone, the bottom line is that the screen can be powered anywhere from 6hrs to over 10hrs that should give you a guide as to what to expect as you add other functions like GPS gaming etc I'd be interested in knowing what you have installed and what is using your battery - a screen shot would help

I have found my Z1 to be 25% better than both the XZ and XZU - that's pretty good considering the highend hardware packed into this device.

If you expect anything more then nobody here can help you

I have noticed that my Z1 gets hot while playing games and apps

Has anyone noticed this?

Thats normal with all phones, the materials used on this phone make it seems like its getting hotter than others but it is normal.
