This is my opinion buddy...

I do not prefer stock or non stock rom, but I just like to change...the main reasons that lead me to flash a non stock based rom are the other possible features included in it...however, immediately i feel the lack of the sony's camera app features...

As for the battery, to be honest, on stock rom I never reached so high time with screen on (it was always about 3 hours maximum)

Regards

I'm on stock, and it seems decent for me... 50% ripped through today and 2 hours + screen on time... I'm sure I can reach maybe 5 hours....

Custom ROM are pulling what numbers?

I had much better battery life when I was on sony stock rom. Now, I am on SlimKat 7.0 (Stable Build) and my battery goes low even the screen is off. And somehow I don't have any wakeups but battery still drains.

I prefer stock rom for better battery life. And I miss the stock camera performance so much :(

And there is a picture of a standart day. As you can see my battery goes low for no reason.

"Uyanık" is "wake up" by the way...

Anyways what ROM?

Also, I believe stamina mode is a beast for battery life

Well, I can use it for a whole long day. This phone is way better than Nexus 4's trash battery. :good:
[Xperia Z1 General] parkentosh:
Truly awesome battery life. I've never had a smartphone lasts so long (2-3 days with 5-6 hours of screen on time). My previous phones couldn't even get half of that.
[Xperia Z1 General] Anonymuszymus:
here s mine.is that good?

i recorded 4k timelapse(about100 mins,than rendered it)the gps was used about a half hour with maps...and some other stuff

Z1 is truly awesome battery life device. I expect devs port Ultra Stamina mode + z1= 2 week of stanby battery life?
[Xperia Z1 General] user822:
Came from a Nexus 4.

Even though my battery has only 2900mAh left I have to say it is amazing when mobile.

The modem sure uses far less power and it runs significantly longer.

Since you guys are so interested in saving battery life so much, her's a video from xdadevelopers
[Xperia Z1 General] Macclienfree:
I dont know about you guys.. but my z1's battery is good, 6.6 hours of movie playback? it depends. it can do more than that, if all of your apps is hibernating other than your movie player then it will go way beyond that..
[Xperia Z1 General] nardvrnza:
My battery is so good. Minimal use and it's on 70% for 18 hrs

I remember when I had the iPhone 4S and even when I didn't use it the battery would be 50% by 12:00pm.

So this was the biggest deal breaker for me
[Xperia Z1 General] [Fenix]:
I see some of the screens about battery life and my question is, how the heck you guys have under 40% of screen usage?!?

Mine is ever over 60% also with low brightness...
[Xperia Z1 General] Anonymuszymus:
its not a hack...it just depends on what are you using for your phone. ex if you use it just for calls u will get a lover percentage at screen and bigger at the cellphone. if you use it for movie watching ir browsing the internet u will get bigger percentage at screen usage.thats normal.
[Xperia Z1 General] [Fenix]:
Well now it makes sense, I didn't think about it lol :silly:
[Xperia Z1 General] jcsy:
Auto or Minimum fixed?

Im on auto, lowest

I noticed if I walk outdoors and use it more say, at the bus stops or walkways the brightness is greatly increased to allow me to use my device. This causes higher drains too, some what 60+%

If you use it indoors all the time, then 40% should be your reading...

Also, I noticed auto minimum can reach lower total brightness

You can use white balance + gamma control for more saturate and vivid color in low brightness and more viewable in sunny day. It's work for me....

And I also noticed that auto function can make the screen even lower brightness. Useful for night reading....

Awsome battery life

here is my Z1 .

[Xperia Z1 General] Alira:

[Xperia Z1 General] xplod2841:
I noticed my battery now lasts shorter. It's probably due to having 3G and GPS turned on all the time and Lifelog app running but still I used to have better battery life. My brightness is on minimum with auto on.

My mother has a cheap phone (Cubot X6) with octa core and 5" screen, with 2200 mAh battery and it's result is amazing:

[Xperia Z1 General] Kanes_Inferno:
Is it possible without root to get these long on screen times? I usually get three hours maybe three and a half max....
[Xperia Z1 General] cingolat:
It's not possible because setcpu need root.....
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
Yeah mine looks like this too so shouldn't be an issue.. Its my eyes :D... Anyways, this google services thing is killing my battery...Hmm....
[Xperia Z1 General] maverick1103:
Lol, I don't see a yellowish tint, but now you say on 0% there is a slight tint.

Did you set your phone up from a fresh or use an app to transfer your app data? I ask cos with my HTC One I had issues with Google services, after a wipe it was fine.
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
I did do a factory reset already as my phone hadn't been connecting to the computer... Hmm.. Its charging now, lets see how it goes... This will only be the third fully charged cycle I have done.. Disabled almost all the google location stuff and account sync.. Lets see how then..
[Xperia Z1 General] maverick1103:
Do you use Google Now? That was one of my problems before...
[Xperia Z1 General] Teknohtc:
don's have my Z1 yet but, i find Maps is always running and draining my battery as well as google now. I freeze Maps and battery is bettery on my z maybe the same on the Z1?

Don't know what they have done in the 534 firmware update but they have just taken the battery life up a few notches - I had no complaints before but it is very very much better, I would call it substantial
[Xperia Z1 General] dondavis007:
Hmm.

5 hours of screentime I get om my current phone with light use and up to 6 hours reading books (Android 4.3)

Anyone reading books through Google books? Please share your screentime :)

First battery cycle on my new Z1

Stamina

3g always on

Brightness mostly around 50-60%

All stock no changes to it

Pretty pleased tbh and I'm sure once I've got it rooted and made it the way I want it will have better battery life
[Xperia Z1 General] vito45:
On Engadget they had 12h video loop battery life :eek: they also write "during one rundown test, we accidentally left the phone connected to a WiFi network (we normally leave WiFi on, but disconnected), and somehow we nuked the battery in four hours" :-/

No complaints with battery life here - 23 hours since 3rd charge with over 4.5 screen time. Only used to getting 2.5 to 3 hours on most Androids ;)

with x reality off finally getting decent battery times. only 2 charges in
[Xperia Z1 General] Apoxx:
can you see a difference in display quality with x-reality on or off? cause I can't so if it drains battery might as well leave it off.
[Xperia Z1 General] Jiyeon90:
The difference is quite notorious but it only works when watching videos or pics in the album, so I don't think that would give you much better battery life, unless you like watching movies

[Xperia Z1 General] xplod2841:
:) All stock, no root, brightness on minimum. It all depends on how do you use your phone. I got that much screen time because half of it was using my phone as a "book"; I disabled automatic screen off and it was showing one PDF. The rest includes messaging, facebook, browsing the web, a little bit of Clash of Clans, music. 3G, GPS and Wi Fi on all the time + LifeLog in background.
[Xperia Z1 General] Kanes_Inferno:
Impressive!
[Xperia Z1 General] drsoran2:
Is my battery broken?!

So I'm having this weird problem since about 2 weeks, maybe longer before I realized it, that my battery does not nearly last as long as it did before! But I didn't change anything as far as I'm aware.

My screen on time before was between 3.5-5 hours. Now it barely reaches 2.25 hours.

At first I suspected the Play Store Update, so I uninstalled play services, rebooted and reinstalled, rebooted again. Didn't help.

I also have to add that I have a lot of apps greenified like Maps, Facebook and other apps which I don't need often or which suck battery.

Location reporting is set to "Device only" (I need it for geotagging pictures I take), all automatic synching is off, location reporting and history off, Android Device Manager location reporting off, almost all apps which don't need Internet access or which I don't want them to give are prohibited from going online via AFWall+, a bunch of bloatware and uncessary apps are frozen or deleted with TB, also Google Search and Now are deleted or frozen.

Stamina Mode is always on.

As you can see, I really did a lot in order to save battery and this was the case since I bought the phone. I don't want to imagine how fast the battery would drain without these measures.

Before, it would drop between 0-3% over night during a period of 6-8 hours. Now it loses between 10 and 15%!

After unplugging and doing nothing with the phone during the day, it lost 8% per hour. Before it was more like 1-2%!

I've tried to calibrate the battery twice manually (charging to 100%, let it completely drain and power off, charge to 100% with device off).

I've also tried a Battery calibration app and resetted battery stats at 100% charge.

I've checked better battery stats and wakelock detector for suspicious activity, but couldn't find anything wrong.

Please see the attached screenshots and the bbs log for more information.

Lastly, I went into the service menu and under "Battery health test" it says: "Battery good, no need to replace it" but the Amperes are completly wrong: It shows: 1868000!!! This can't be right and maybe this is the reason.

There is also weird behavior while discharging. Yesterday e.g. it went from 50% to 2% within 45 minutes but with only maybe 20-30 minutes of screen on time and browsing and reading. Then it stayed at 1% for an hour before turning off (I stopped using it at 2% and much to my surprise the phone was still on when I reached for it to plug it in at home)!

Or when it falls under 30% or something it sometimes goes empty really fast, you can watch the percentage drop within seconds. Or it jumps: e.g. from 12 to 9% or from 91% to 90% in few seconds. Or while charging it yesterday, it stayed at 87% for 20 minutes before jumping to 92%!!

So, can anybody help me with this? I suspect the battery is either wrongly calibrated or it is really damaged! I bought the Z1 in early September of 2013 and it is now only 14 months old.

Could the battery be broken already?
[Xperia Z1 General] dvd777:
I bought a brand new Xperia Z1 C6903 2 weeks ago. It came with KK .108 FW. It was ~50% full. When factory charging went off and powered off the phone, I put it to charge overnight.

These are the results of 1st full charging:

Not bad at all...
[Xperia Z1 General] ggnoobteam:
How did you get 8 hours screen on time?!?!
[Xperia Z1 General] dvd777:
Easy. You can see all my setting about brightness and how l used my phone in that period.
[Xperia Z1 General] Dadovvv:
Whats the point if u use your phone without mobile network..i mean u used your phone 4 days in airplane mode. LOL
[Xperia Z1 General] masterv1:
Yes, your battery is broken.

Had the same behaviour, between 100% and 50% normal and after that it drops 3% per 10 seconds or so.

Send my phone in for repair and now it's fine again.

Found an app on my phone after I got it back, It's a Battery test app.

For other ****s like messaging and call l use old Samsung Galaxy S3.

Screen time is about 6 hours. Sometimes the battery runs out quickly. Possible reason I found was CPU awake. Tried all methods, but none worked. Kitkat update is really bad.

I am having problem with overnight discharge.

I have always on: google now, location, wifi, 3G/LTE, sync

With .108 I would leave the phone at 100% and after 8h untouched during sleep, I would get 99%

With .157 I now get 92%

[Xperia Z1 General] ggnoobteam:

Is the Heads Up module found in the Xposed Framework App itself?

You ll have to download it from the Downloads section of framework.

20% of battery is ~ 1 h on screen.
[Xperia Z1 General] Vaith:
Is it good battery life?
[Xperia Z1 General] ggnoobteam:
Yeah 20% is approximately 1 hour SoT for me as well. In fact, if it exceeds 30 minutes, it feels almost as if the phone will lose ~8% or so of charge as soon as I put the phone down at night. Almost as if it was "catching up" to true battery consumption. Ahh that is so frustrating.

And also it seems I've confused a lot of people here, I did not mean the pop-up notifications, I was asking how you made the status bar white lol. Sorry guys for the confusion guys

Guys I have an issue and want to see if anyone else has it or has a fix. I connect my phone to my car's bluetooth as a headset and phone (So it accesses my phonebook and call records too) But after I disconnect from it and even turn off bluetooth, my phone stays awake. I have to restart the phone to get normal behaviour again. Anyone else getting this? Or is it just me? Thanks :)

hello guys !

this is my best battery stats ...

xperia Z1 ( buy in EN debranded , use in FR country ) , sony stock rom .108 , stock kernel , odexed , rooted , stamina always ON , greenify , some system apps and apps freeze , CPU / GPU / IO sheduler / etc controlled by pimp my Z1 , brightness auto ( half auto luminosity mod for more power saving ) , and few build.prop tweaks ( 3-4 tweaks ) ... sorry for my bad english ^^ ... EDIT : I forgot to say that I blocked alarm / wakelocks with amplify ;)

in low usage ( mostly phone / SMS , little wifi / chrome / play store )

in moderate / heavy usage ( mostly phone / SMS , more wifi / browsing on chrome / play store )

what do you think of this stats ?

personally I find it okay =) for stock rom and mainly stock device , it's cool ...
[Xperia Z1 General] dnzdeniz:
Really good battery stats :eek:
[Xperia Z1 General] kev70000:

your screenshot show 7h52min of SOT ??? if yes , is awesome on Z1 !!! bravo !

how you do this ??? it is with wifi turned on ? or 3G/4G ? partially or not ? thks for your reply
[Xperia Z1 General] dnzdeniz:
My wi-fi was on all the time, 15 minutes of bluetooth, and just usage of chrome, whatsapp, youtube and some games for 20 minutes. And 3G connection.

Also, i am on 108, unrooted, fully stock.

And that's a result with 19 hours of idle (without screen on time).

I don't know why but, sometimes my Z1 impresses me a lot :)
[Xperia Z1 General] kev70000:
OK , it's impressive on stock device unrooted
[Xperia Z1 General] kev70000:
I have a question, how do you increase the screen on time ???

My Z1 tends to lose a lot of battery with the screen turned on , yet I have a lot of battery tweaks ( downclock CPU , governor " battery-friendly " , lower auto-brightness , wifi scan less frequently ( 300 sec ) , greenify , etc ... )

do you have any idea or tweaks plz ???

thanks ;)
