Thanks, but this didn't solve, I performed a factory reset using SUS and it solved, now it's dropping 1% each 2 hours with LTE and stamina on.

No dude, I solved it, now I'm getting the battery life I'm used to. I charge my phone only each 2-3 days (30 to 50% of battery per day).
[Xperia Z1 General] sarsar:
The screen time was 3-4 hours, i will post the next screenshot in 5-6 days. :D

I use Winter Snow theme.

Only an hour screen time, data on 24/7.

Great battery! Three days usage with one charging.

I use WiFi, play Temple Run and Tetris, Viber, a lot of talking, taking photos.

Great performance, great phone! :good:

Screen on time: 1hour ? Huh
[Xperia Z1 General] minhajmsd:
Hey guys I just got my Z1 two days ago and it was having a pretty good battery life. When I to go power management even with stamina mode on it shows the estimated battery life around 14 hours from a full charge whereas it used to show about 2 days estimated earlier at even 50% battery life. Should I be concerned about the battery or no?
[Xperia Z1 General] jaomi:
That's amazing! :D

How much screen on time, and also under "Cell standby" how many % of time do you have no signal? :cowboy:
[Xperia Z1 General] evilhomura89:
My battery life became worse after 4.3

Used to be able to last 2 days without charging I

Now it won't last more than 1.5 days
[Xperia Z1 General] sarsar:
For that screenshot i had 3 hours screen time.

Now am at 66% in 4 days and i have 1 hour screen time, 1 hour calls and the cell standby is the same as the battery life because i don't swich off anything.
[Xperia Z1 General] E!ch0:
WoW this is nice man!

Plz tell me yur settings bro, i never managed to get more than 4 hrs screen time..:p
[Xperia Z1 General] Lordadmiral Drake:
Unfortunately I dont have a screenie of it but once I managed to get over 5 days runtime with one charge. All power savings on. About 4h of total screentime (assuming here)
[Xperia Z1 General] BLK900:
I even reached 8 hr

Brightness auto and usaully im in home most of the time so it's nealy the lowest

No 3g only 2g , im using only whatsapp outside home

Close all app running on background as it uses ram

Location services off
[Xperia Z1 General] HeavyMoertel:
With normal usage it's about 2-4 days for me, which is quite decent for a smartphone nowadays.

It lasts even 3-5 hours playing Ingress nonstop (aka Eats Battery For Breakfast: The Game) so that's very decent right there.
[Xperia Z1 General] -Happy Feet-:
Hmmmm I think the People they post battery life times with 3 days and more, they don't use the phone.... I have 1 Day an 6 - 12 hours and and I use my Phone with Webbrowser, Tapatalk, gaming, music, Chat google+ and office.....

Hey small question.. My battery stats doesn't reset after 100%charge.. Im on rooted 4.3 LB. Whats causing the issue?
[Xperia Z1 General] LotoTutu:
I don't agree. It is better than others. I make the Z1 in the state of maximum power consumption via opening all apps and watching the video. The capacity reduce about 2%-3% every five minutes.
[Xperia Z1 General] bodson66:
Great Battery life on this phone no complaints. As always I make sure I don't use many apps that have ad services as they drain the battery hard. This is one thing that gets over looked a lot. Ad services are a killer. To find out what apps are using them I used lookout ad network detector.

To get maximum battery life it's a fine line of knowing what you need to update in the background and what you don't. You can get amazing battery life disabling data and all kinds of features, but in the end you are left with a very useless smartphone. If you don;t use facebook by all means disable it. If you don't need instant email then disable push.

If you have poor battery life always use a wake-lock detector to find what apps are misbehaving. (ie facebook is bad for this)

I liked using the Chive app but found that they were using three different ad networks an it was hurting my battery life. Free apps will almost always use ad networks its how they make their money. If I find an app useful I always buy the paid version that doesn't usually use an add network.

On 4.2 it was shocking, on 4.3 its worse. Roll on 4.4 and some optimisation.
[Xperia Z1 General] xplod2841:
I'm pretty satisfied with the battery, it does a great job. I'll post results of my tests on 4.3 here.

1. Test - Normal use

Web browsing, forum browsing and posting (tapatalk), facebook messenger, listening to music (around 2 hours, mostly through internal speaker with volume on the max), viewing DOCX, PPT and PDF documents etc. STAMINA was ON all the time, screen brightness varied (I adjust it according to my needs) but aproximately it was around 30%.

RESULT:

Almost 6 hours of screen on and almost 1 day in total.

PICTURES:

see first 3 pictures in attachment!

2. Test - Gaming

Playing Real Racing 3 and GTA San Andreas.

RESULT:

Almost 3 hours of screen on.

PICTURES:

see last 5 pictures in attachment!

Furthermore, I'm always carying my Sony CP-VL 1400mAh portable battery charger with me in case I need some extra battery juice. And when I'm at home, I'm using a cheap eBay dock which looks the same as original Sony one and works great so no need to open the flaps and connect the phone. The dock is always on my table so I put my phone in there as soon as I arrive home.

EDIT: tomorrow I'll do a test with video playing (max tv on the go, streaming TV channels over 4G).
[Xperia Z1 General] meyourchum:

History Details
[Xperia Z1 General] xplod2841:
I did a video playback test as well; it lasted 5h and 20min. It's less than 6h on GSM Arena test but I believe that it's due to fact that the video I was playing was streamed over 4G: I was streaming a TV channel over 4G. I don't know which quality it was but I think that it wasn't HD because it spent less than 1.5 GB of data in those 5.5 hours. And brightness was on 0%, audio playing on headphones. But still, it's nice to know that, if I get stuck somewhere, I will be able to watch TV on my phone for at least 5 hours.

But last few days I had problems with my battery; it was draining too fast in stand-by mode. I thought that it was due to 4.3 update but it seems that one of few apps that I installed a few days ago was causing the problem; I installed Better Battery Stats and an app for adding Clear All button in Recently Used Apps. I deleted that apps today and now, 2 hours after, it's still on 100%.
[Xperia Z1 General] del1701:
Here's mine so far today, and this is with wifi and data on all the time and everything syncing :D

[Xperia Z1 General] BLEK0TA:
Wtf how do u do that? For me is maximum 5 hours...
[Xperia Z1 General] xplod2841:
I managed to get 5:45 hours on screen with 23 hours in total so this is possible. But with lite use, without playing games, videos etc. Put brightness to 0 and turn on STAMINA.
[Xperia Z1 General] ermond012:
With occasional use of Walkman, gaming, WiFi, internet, around 60% brightness.

Firmware 290 - light usage over the weekend but it still great.

I have 1d 20h of wifi - it's always on ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] Moze666:
How you can get so much with your battery? I used for some time, like 3 hours and it got from 100 to 70 a bit fast with 2 hours of Internet and some games, not heavy games :) HELP WITH ME SOME SUGGESTIONS, write to me in pm, I need suggestions :) thx in advance ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] xplod2841:
I have STAMINA turned on all the time and brightness on very low level. Furthermore, it depends a lot on use; games will drain more battery than browsing, especially heavier games. I managed to get less than 3 hours by playing heavy games immediately after disconnecting from charger.

And don't judge from first 30% percent, at the beggining it drains faster. Charge your phone up to 100%, set brightness on minimum, turn on STAMINA and use your phone for browsing and very very light games. You should get 5-6 hours.

[Xperia Z1 General] robertopod1968:
Pretty happy here! If I can get 22 hours and 5 hours of screen time I'm not going to complain. I leave wifi on all the time. Screen turned up about half and auto bright on. I never try to conserve and never have to worry about running out of battery. Unless I'm up for more than 24 hours..
[Xperia Z1 General] Moze666:
but in not so heavy using I got like from 100 to 30-40 in like 8 hours :)
[Xperia Z1 General] xplod2841:
How much is your screen on time? Z1 can achieve up to 6 hours of screen on time with light usage and brightness on zero.
[Xperia Z1 General] Hyde_man:
Hi,

For some reason my phone drains alot in idle and it seems to be android itself. Anyone else has this? And what could cause this?
[Xperia Z1 General] xplod2841:
I had this problem but I noticed that it started draining after I installed two apps so I deleted them both and then it worked fine. I downloaded an app (if I remember right, here from XDA) which adds CLOSE ALL button on last used apps, so you can kill all of them by pressing this button instead pulling out one-by-one. This app was draining my battery but it was showed as "Android System". After deleting this app, it wasn't draining the battery anymore.

If you don't have this app, another app can cause this. Try to delete recently installed apps or even better, try to remember when your phone started draining that much and delete/restore everything that you've done within that time.

Also, install Wakelock Detector, maybe it can help to determine which app has been waking your device.
[Xperia Z1 General] Hyde_man:
Hey I have the "close all" app from XDA installed. Deleting it as we speak. Hope it solves the issue. Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Manageable and great if you don't touch your phone or just do very light things on it, but the second that you play a game (even if it's a light game) or start watching movies or a lot of video's on your phone, that great battery gets hammered and you're lucky to see the day.

Don't believe me? Play candy crush for an hour, not the most graphically intensive game in the world and although not very well written should still not take 20% + from your 3000Mah battery, but it will.

The battery in the Z1 is good, it's the processor and how it's used that smokes your battery in a few hours.

Light processes are fine, it's when you give it some real work to do that's the problem.

If you've failed to tweak your phones performance and are not avoiding bad app's and active processes that could be then you'll probably see less and less battery as time goes on.

I get 1% drain overnight, which is normal and something i've always had on my android handset's since the Desire HD, if you've got anything different then it'll be down to whats on your phone.
[Xperia Z1 General] Moze666:
It's on automatic brightness and around 5-6 hours of screen on :)
[Xperia Z1 General] Jiyeon90:
Don't know if they put a brand new battery when I sent my phone back for repair but battery life on the latest firmware has been excellent.

No root, no greenify, brightness about 55% (auto brightness off)

How do you mean dissapointment? There are phones with better battery life but Z1 has a very good battery and not even close to dissapointment
[Xperia Z1 General] Mr.Kos:
Hey everyone,

I'm thinking of buying either Xperia Z1 or LG G2. As I'm student and have to somehow spend time on boring sessions or on the session breaks, I need a device with a good battery life. I have read a lot of negative reviews about Z1 battery life as well as some positive ones.. but all were positive about LG G2 battery.

So I've been wondering which device would be better for my needs?

I like the premium look of waterproof Z1 but a little bit afraid for the battery life.
[Xperia Z1 General] bodson66:
Check and see what is using up your battery the most, Facebook is a bad app for drainage. Also if you are in area that is weak on lte and you notice constant switching from 3G to lte turn off lte. I get easily a day of very heavy usage without stamina mode turned on. Usually 4-5:30 hours of screen on time. The only time I had an issue was with media server eating up battery life and a restart seemed to fix that.

Almost forgot that with my smartwatch 2 always connected as well.
[Xperia Z1 General] LaosPerson:
Well according to this forum, nearly everyone is getting good battery life :good:
[Xperia Z1 General] Jiyeon90:
II can't believe people say battery sucks in this phone, in my experience the battery life is amazing.

This is my stats from today, the g2 can barely get better results

The last firmware definitely improved battery life coz even using lower brightness I had never got such good results before.

[Xperia Z1 General] xplod2841:
Is that .1.136 firmware? Because 4h with 50% battery is AMAZING.
[Xperia Z1 General] Jiyeon90:
Well I'm not sure, I sent my phone back for repair and one of the things they did is updating it to the latest firmware (.136).

Ever since I got it back the battery life is better than before.

[Xperia Z1 General] jjpro45:
Here's mine. I think it's good!
[Xperia Z1 General] Vanarian:
I'm the heavy user type, I use my phone anytime for anything. The only thing I don't do much is playing games. It usually lasts all the day for me, and if I use it more like a phone and not like a smartphone, I can use at least two days of battery.

Whoever already experienced an IPhone battery will feel the fresh air from not worrying about battery life with this phone.

[Xperia Z1 General] kantk20111:
This is probably THE best battery life I've gotten so far from any smartphone ever. 2+ days with still 25% left, Stamina mode just kicked in. Don't have a screenshot but screen on time is about 1h 45m. Yes I didn't use it that much but we had a snowstorm so I didn't really need to, and wifi/data was on almost all the time (off when sleeping). Listened to about 30min of music, used the camera for 15-20min, a few calls and a bit of browsing. 80% autobrightness, didn't charge it even once.
[Xperia Z1 General] Gemc666:
For me this is good, coming from the Xperia S wich i had to charge twice a day, using my phone for gaming, music, web, stuff

same use here, battery last a day :)
[Xperia Z1 General] dlads:
Battery life for me has been mediocre at best. Same usage as other handsets, pretty much the same timescale. After work I'm on about 40% so between 7:30 and 18:30 I use my phone, two hours if gaming and music (travel) calls, texts, internet, WiFi on while in work. Standby is amazing though.
[Xperia Z1 General] mattmtx:
Hi guys, I have the Z1 since the Friday, and I have a question because I have to charge my phone every night. I listen music a couple of hours, play maybe 1 hour per day, and msj, whatsapp and face. And I thought that the battery would last longer.

What it's a correct configuration to the longest battery life?
[Xperia Z1 General] xplod2841:
Lowest brightness, stamina on, gps, bluetooth off etc. You can expect about 5-6 hours of screen on, much less of you play games or listen to music for hours.
[Xperia Z1 General] mattmtx:
Yes, Stamina it's allways on, gps I turn on when I need it, bluetooth I use with the music, the brihtness it's on automatic. Music it's with the screen off.

I will tray these next 3 or 4 days to increse the battery duration, and I will post the info :good:

Thanks!

My Battery is actually quite good, last two days but with only BBM and probably few browsing. Screen time about 3 hours from 90-20%

but it will drain very quickly while gaming

Brightness auto 50%, GPS off, either 3G data / Wifi always on(depend on the place) , stamina mode on with BBM & Whatsapp excluded

The only matter for me is the battery keep draining even when the phone is idle, I know the culprit is the mobile network, but i need it to receive message on BBM or Whatsapp

So if i may ask, do your mobile network always on? and do you exclude apps while in stamina mode?
[Xperia Z1 General] migidid:
i have an awesome battery life... it takes like 3 days to drain on my normal use... Stamina always on, brightness set to 10% auto off and not much playing... mostly for music and couple messages and calls during day...

also if you didnt know, wifi is always on, just sleep mode (because of location based wifi) but turn them both off to increase battery life !

set those off from wifi/advanced settings !

Easy just make sure everything is turned off what you don't need as in wifi/Bluetooth/date/sync and so on and I only turn things on when needed.
[Xperia Z1 General] mattmtx:
I have to charge every night... I don't know why, but well... I play music a couple of hours per day, play games (Dungeon Keeper), I use bluetooth for headphones (music and calls). Some day I have to charge at 21 pm and other night maybe on the morning. But never lasts a whole day. But all the day with that use, it's fine for me.

One question, I let it charging all the night. At 02 am are fully charged, but I leave in the dock until I wake up, it's fine? or I have to unplug when it's fully charged?
[Xperia Z1 General] Riaes:
My phone can last two days, with stamina mode always on, but BBM and Whatsapp in white list(chats almost never stop). either wifi or mobile network always on, I have to charge my phone everyday if I play PS1 games, even in idle my battery will be drained despite my stamina mode always on. and i always unplug my phone when it is fully charged, sometimes i only charge it to 80%.
[Xperia Z1 General] mattmtx:
Oks, I uninstalled BatteryGuru, and I will use only Stamina on.

Activation in 100%, whatsapp and msj on withe list. So in the next few days I will tell you how it's work.

I always use GPS off, WiFi off if I don't use (I use "wifi based on location"), mobile network always on. Stamina always on.

I will see if the uninstall of batteryguru improved something.
