Android OS is eating my battery life. Read a similar issue for Nexus 4 owners on 4.3, anyone have the same problem?

Yeap, battery drain as hell...

Flashed full firmware, totally factory state.

I guess still early to update.

turn off mobile data and wifi when not using it
[Xperia Z General] Don MC:
That will render it almost useless as a smartphone. I like to have email notifications and such stuff working all of the time.

Will try flashing another baseband, as "msm_hsic_host" seems to come from a problem with 3G.

EDIT: Maybe I'll just wait with flashing. It's been off charger now for two hours and it's still reading 100% battery. Stamina mode ON, email and such apps whitelisted.

but the SOFT has alot of bugs, sometimes my chrome clips and its black (cannot see anysite), the notification light blocks sometimes(especially when someone calls me), the CAMERA is very very weak :eek: ..bleah weak. and other things.

Strange that I haven't had it. Until now. Android OS is still the biggest battery drainer, but now it seems to have slowed down somewhat. 4 hrs on battery and 99% left. Stamina still ON. Almost as good as my previous 10.3.1.A.2.67 without Stamina.

No, the only thing you can do is to make a backup of your TA partition, which you could then restore at a later time. I you do this however, you will re-lock the bootloader, so than it was all for nothing.

It seems however like this firmware can be flashed on a locked bootloader, so this shouldn't be a problem for you.

Mediaserver drain depends on bluetooth headset. When i listen music via SBH50 headset, or even whenever headset is connected, i see that proccess in battery usage screen.

Biggest battery drain reason is old exchange service application.

Pros:

- nice ui

- wifi refresh

- 3G refresh

- quite smooth

- several new opts

Cons:

- photo contrast quite worst than. 67

- battery performance decreased vs. 67

- random android crash (maybe due some apps not yet supp 4.3?)

- keyboard features trimmed

- little glitches here and there

not worth it, for me. going back to. 67 and waiting something official.
