My battery life worsen a lot lately, I was able to get around 4h of screen on time, but as I say, in the last few days I get 2h tops. I have currently 48% battery left, screen on time is 58min. It drains like crazy. Battery stats says setup guide is using a lot of the battery, regardless of it being disabled. On the other hand it takes 5h to get my phone fully charged using the standard charger, and it heats quite a lot, up to 40°C with a mild usage. Stamina mode is on, but I see no difference, wifi on, maps, google now, and 15 other bloatware apps are disabled.

Okay the battery life is good.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNeighbor101:
Re: Xperia Z battery life

4 hours display on with 22% on isn't very good. Engadget projected 6 hours of continuous use with WiFi on but not even connected.

Yeah, I can do 8 hours of continuous screen at 100% brightness with WiFi connected on a Note II - and this is a 720p Super HD AMOLED screen. Normally, I'm used to 16 hours with 7 hours of actual screen usage with 20% left on the battery. This is even with 3 to 4 hours of downloading multiply torrents (1GB worth), internet music and bluetooth connected to stereo earpieces and smartwatch.

Has someone do this with the XZ as I'm planning to get my wife one for her birthday? Otherwise, I'm waiting and getting her the S IV if the battery reviews are good.

She loves watching and games but she sometimes forgets to charge.

it must be loaded few times because of the cycles! I have by Note 2 always 9h Display on time .... XZ has a smaller battery is thin because of the housing but have a full hd resolution of course it is not the best smartphone in the battery area but the fastest and best looking.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
4 hours screen on time and 22% left IS good for a phone that size. Don't compare it to Note 2 because it's much larger and have almost 1/3 larger battery. What's the point of comparing 2330mah battery to 3100mah ? It's obvious it won't last as long as the larger one...

Also, I don't know what you're doing with your Note 2, but mine is usually dead after 5 hours of watching movies, and the battery is new, running stock etc... on CM10.1 it's even worse.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCJ89:
I was going to say it is pointless comparing battery life with Z and note 2, note 2 will no doubt win because first of all it is pushing half the pixels and it has 770mah more capacity, plus I personally feel battery life has always been one of samsungs strong points, not so much sony. Saying that the xperia z is a much better phone than the note 2.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNeighbor101:
Re: Xperia Z battery life

The point in getting at is 6 hours of on screen time total for something this brilliantly beautiful clear full HD resolution device isn't enough and with a fixed battery, is even worse. It would mean I would need to charge it during half way through the day to be able to extend it to the evening.

I occasionally download torrents directly with my phone as I have an unlimited data plan. What more with that and with LTE on. I would have to limit or not listen to internet radio or cut my notifications? Do I need to limit my usage of this great device just to save on battery on the XZ? For something that cost $900+, I would think Sony should have done a better job with the battery department.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanve:
battery power is all about battery size, so it is always a trade off between phone size and battery life. I'm not saying that I agree with there decision to go for a thin as possible phone. But you can't say they cheeped out on batter tech it is simply not there. Given the overall size of the h/w and the h/w being used I would say they have done an excellent job with the battery department. But if you use your phone more like a miniature pc/tablet it's better to get a Note or a Razr Maxx or a phone with replaceable battery so you can use a thicker and more powerful battery.

rebuilding android configuration, data on (wifi or 3G), taking pics, SMS, linking contacts, configuring nfc tags, installing apps

This morning 2 hours heavy use on wifi (browsing, installing, mailing, trying a game) 100% to 64%

the phone is really fast and smooth, stressing it you'll feel the heat on the back of the phone down the NFC zone (quadcore spot? battery discharging?).

A 20minutes GSM only call consumed 1%

Good point is that it charges really fast.

Got a 2011 Primo Power Core ext battery that gave it back 47% juice in 1 hour (with 10mn use, 23>70%)

1st day use so I give it a few cycles to perform better or worse.

I guess that depends as well if you have good coverage or not. In general when using Wi-Fi, you're at home and when using data connectivity, on the way.
