Just to add something for all of you who claims battery on Z1 isn't good.

As I said - it depends on your usage.

So....

This is battery life on weekend

No mails, less calls and sms and normal usage.

And this is from today...

Busy day, many calls, emails and Chrome using

Don't expect two days of battery life when you have your phone in your hands for the whole day...

Especially when you just bought your phone and everything is new...

Try to use your device in "normal" circumstances and you'll see it's great...

One more thing...

I can't respond to every PM fir battery life, guys.

I posted million screenshots and I said everything I know.

Please, don't send me PMs "how to improve battery life".

I'm using my phone like you all do, nothing special...

Data or wifi all the time

NFC all the time (I'm using tags - house/car/bike)

Brightness - 70%

Stamina MOD all the time

Games - almost never

3D games - never

GPS - sometimes (maybe 5-10 min/day)

Push exchange emails

Two Gmail accounts (email) (manual check)

Calls - only 15, maybe 20 min/day

SMS - uff....many sms and viber

Facebook - all day long

Facebook messenger

XDA - all day long

I'm using 257, rooted firmware

MOD - only MOD I'm using is 36' navigation bar

ROM - stock, odexed (257)

Normal use, call, wifi, mobil data, xda, browsing, etc..brightnes %80,stamina all of time, I dont use any social app, I am not asocial:) and I am using greenify.
[Xperia Z1 General] rxzlmn:
I was a bit worried after reading in reviews that despite the 3000 mAh battery the Z1 wouldn't last as long as one would hope.

Well, in the end I got it anyway and I am super happy with its battery life. I am constantly getting a 'safe' full day from 7 am til midnight with lots of usage and 3-4 hours of screen on time. I don't have to worry about the battery anymore, it's just awesome.

I just wanted to leave this here without some array of screenshots for people who might be worried about the Z1 battery life.

Btw I am coming from an SGS2 for reference
[Xperia Z1 General] JuicyBrah:
I didn't have the patience to get it down to 0% but by my calculations it would have gotten to 9.5 hours screentime.

This is with LTE and wifi connected, 40% brightness.

Stamina mode was not on, X-Reality was.

I'm very happy with this phone battery, my old Xperia S was starting to die before the end of day, the same usage with Z1 and I still have 63%!
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
I play heavy games with the Z1.

1 hour nba 2k14

30 mins kingdom clash

30 mins heroes of destiny

2 hours of browsing, sms, chat

and the phone still lasts my 16 -17 hours a day... amazing!
[Xperia Z1 General] DjTony90:
All, except widgets i want to run all the time...
[Xperia Z1 General] at3311:
My battery barely lasts a day of moderate usage! I doubt it's wakelocks because my phone only drops a few % during the night with WiFi on and no stamina mode, but as soon as I start using it the battery drains quite a bit. Its not unreasonable, but its hardly great. I struggle to get about 3-4 hours of screen time on a about 10% auto brightness but by then I'm on around 10% down from 95%.

My x reality is off too. With such a big battery I'd expect more. But I can barely get a day of use! Today I went down from 100% to 10% in 13 hours with only 3 hours screen time and stamina mode on. I don't get how people are getting close to 1 day battery. Also I use greenify for most apps apart from k9 mail and whatsapp which are also on stamina whitelist.

I'm not sure if this is a software issue or my hardware just isn't great.. I have only had the phone for 2 months so I doubt the battery has lost its charge. Any help would be appreciated!
[Xperia Z1 General] at3311:
I have attached some screen shots. I plugged in my charger at about 10%
[Xperia Z1 General] Uvaavu:
My first evening with the Z1 went well in all ways (the low light pictures from a crowded karaoke booth were great ), except for the battery.

Whenever the screen is on the battery drains at a phenomenal rate, and display is always #1 on the battery drain list.

---------- Post added at 08:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

I should say that the screen is great no complaints about the images at all with 2 caveats:

Very poor viewing angles (would compare them to the HTC Evo 3D!), but I rarely use mine when I'm not head on to the screen so I can live with that.

Awful battery consumption, just lost 16% in 30 minutes...... (at 0% brightness).
[Xperia Z1 General] eukaryote:
There surely has to be some software error with the Z1. That screen can take down a 3000mah battery in only a few hours? :(
[Xperia Z1 General] sebbo90:
I am getting about 17% drop for roughly 1 hour of screen time. Screen is set to auto-brightness
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
Honestly not much better than my Xperia S :(

Usually get 16 hours with 2 hours and 15 mins screen time, and 10% left on my battery.

1 hours games, 1 hour browsing...
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
and the fundamental error in you post is "you are expecting it to be better"

Why should it be better ?

Smart phones get smarter more demanding hardware - manufacturers have to innovate to maintain battery life at a usable level and it is an uphill battle, trying to squeeze larger batteries into similar sized device with high end quad core cpu's and HD displays - you might be able to play music for 100hrs without recharge but turn on that display or start demanding some action from the CPU etc and it will drain fast on any smartphone and it isn't going to get better

Simple truth if you get a day with normal usage then they have hit their target, if you start playing games then you'd better be near a power source - that is how it is, on my XZ I could run a fully charged battery down to zero in less that 3hrs playing high end 3D games
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
and the fundamental error in your post is to NOT expect better LOL...

So expecting better battery results on the latest flagship is wrong now? LOL you need to start getting out of your room and smell the fresh air outside...

1. s800 Chip suppose to be better at saving battery.

2. Sony's TFT screen suppose to be less battery consuming than AMOLED and IPS.

Yet Battery life is so far, based on all the reviews and comments I have seen, is worse.

even Z Ultra which has almost 30% bigger screen has better battery rating in watching videos...

Xperia Z1 is the worse performer of all the Android devices that uses S800 chip...

I am not expecting Xperia Z1 to have mind blowing battery performance, but I do expect at least to have improvement...
[Xperia Z1 General] MafiaManV:
anyone had a look on wakelocks? honami roms on XZ have RILJ wakelock issues, which is draining battery like crazy. Does it happen on Z1?
[Xperia Z1 General] maverick1103:
Battery life compared to my HTC One seems about the same so far, yet I haven't fully discharged it yet and it is only 1 day old, I expect it to get better but it's worrying atm.
[Xperia Z1 General] matheus_sc:
battery with time tends to be better, i think some bugs might happen with firsts firmwares
[Xperia Z1 General] sebbo90:
6.15 screen time here. A mixture of games, YouTube and browsing
[Xperia Z1 General] Geoffxx:
and I suppose you know better - can I ask what you mean by improvement and how you expect that to go over say the next 20 years and before you answer that - assume that batteries are not getting any smaller and a 5" screen is what it is - so the clue is 5" and big battery

maybe in 1000 years we'll have something the size of a pea (like your b---) that will power everything we own

you miss my point completely - if you are expecting some sort of new power engine in mobile phones or any electronic device then you really don't have a handle on the technology or reality - and before you pass me off as an idiot - I've worked in the electronic design industry for 30 years and have a PHd - go figure
[Xperia Z1 General] MafiaManV:

erm... and you missed my point as well, I DON'T CARE ABOUT 20 years from now lol! you're ranting about things I dont even care about, moron... you didn't even counter argue my arguments and you're calling me pea brain? LOL you are making yourself looking like a complete idiot LOL

I dont need a PHD I can simple buy another phone like say LG, HTC or Samsung LOL who have made good use of a 3000 mah battery... (10-12 hours of video, 9-12 hours of browsing) they have exactly the same battery capacity, exactly the same Snapdragon 800 chip and yet they where able to extract TWICE the power from it... so tell me, why is this? :confused::eek:

Even the motorola moto X which has a pathetic 2200 mah battery can have a good battery life (10 hours video and 8 hours browsing)
[Xperia Z1 General] japjit100:
I m used htc one and sgs3

I never 10 hour of screen time

I got 4 hour screen time from high end devices

Use gsam battery share the battery life result
[Xperia Z1 General] dondavis007:
I was also hoping for a little better screen on time. Hopefully future software fixes can tweak that a little bit, it's a big battery and the rest of the pack on the same plattform is way ahead, gram or not.

Look at the scores between HTC one vs Xperia Z1:

http://blog.gsmarena.com/the-sony-xperia-z1-battery-tests-are-done-heres-the-score/

Xperia Z1 6 hours browsing and video...

HTC one browsing and video is around 10 hours...

thats a huge 40% difference on lesser battery...

meaning if you start using Xperia Z1 with your currently usage you will only get 2.5 hours of screen time instead of your usual 4 hours...

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

Me too, I was really hoping the same... I'm not asking it to compete with LG G2 on the battery life but at least the gap should not be that far....

from my experience, software update rarely improve battery life...I have tweeked all my phones and the most improvement I can get is around 5-10% only... most of the time I only improve off screen time...

The first two pictures show my normal usage and screen time and what you can squeeze out of the battery. I'm very impressed! I never had that much with my XZ.

The third and fourth pictures show what you can get if you leave the phone alone and in standby over night. 0.1%/h battery loss speaks for itselve. Never had this good standby time and deep sleep.

I've also reached close to 7 hours of screen on time one time, but this was over only 10 hours of total time.
