Auto sync features eats a lots of battery.. Turn it off to get some more battery life..

Turned off auto sync, location, google search

Turned on stamina mode and using greenify

Also froze/uninstalled some system apps.

my stats are pretty bad still :( n i dont even use that many accounts now :( thinking of flashing to jellybean to just see if there's actually a difference :eek:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] infinitylook:
Have you tried factory reset then installing apps per batch? before, i upgraded and got pretty bad battery life but then i saw a post somewhere that suggested a factory reset then monitoring which apps consume battery. i reinstalled apps like 6 per day and observed if there are significant changes. it's about a week and then found out one of my photo editors was not the optimize for kitkat and causing wakelocks. Use battery stats also to determine which app drains but you need root for that.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] darkmystel:
Today's stats I'll show, morning I charged till upto 98%

Seems pretty okay, but the bloat, they're all still there, N I saw somewhere to disable the apps, like Google movies and all, it's asking whether to reset to factory, but I didn't cause I use keep, N that only made me update play services last time, so I'm pondering whether to disable or not

IMHO I don't think your battery life is anywhere bad....mine lasts similarly and personally I find it to be good(but I use more 3G).
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] infinitylook:
try rooting then using battery stats i bet you have a lot of draining. through rooting you can remove a lot of bloat. don't be afraid that it will brick your phone cause it won't (as long as you know how to use flashtool then no need to be afraid off)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] coolkoushik07:
His battery stat is already pretty good on kitkat.. I dont think he can get more out of it.. Atleast I am also unable to get more than that..

aha :) i kinda got 6hrs + by the time it hit 10% although the phone was on wifi for most of the time n just about 15 mins on 3G :)

i guess this is pretty fine actually now :) ^_^

well ha might be so :) ^_^ no fear in rooting n getting it bricked :P i've bricked a few phones before :p , but for now i'll just pass :) atleast let it get 3 month old first :)

seems that way bro :) ^_^ i'm outta 3G data balance, so can't test it out till next month :/ ^^ 5hrs would be awesome on that i guess :)

n the disabling auto-sync kinda helped too :D ^_^ thnks bro :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] maxip:
My thoughts / comments.

On JB and regular use (disable Auto-sync and let Tasker do it), i was getting 40-48 hours usage with Stamina mode on. I connect to WiFi pretty much all the time (home / work) and frequently have no cellular connection.

Upgrade to KK and it's just pants. No changes to system and now if I'm lucky, I can get 20 hours then it's completely flat. I use Tasker to control data sync, have stamina mode on & battery saver when it reaches 70% but it's just sh*t. I loved the phone when I got it but now running KK, it's just like any other phone - you spend your time worrying about doing 'stuff' that will use battery rather than using the device as intended. If I could cancel contract I would and seriously considering reverting back to JB purely for the battery life.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] darkmystel:
Seems that way :) I've never felt the jellybean life so I dunno :(

Today's battery stats are horrible :/ I did a full charge, N it drained pretty quickly from 100 to 99 like within a minute or two and I wasn't even using anything, just the screen was on :/

There are problems with kitkat firmware 4.4.2. An update to fix battery drain and overheating is expected to be released some time next month. There are, however, some people not experiencing this issue on kitkat. Further investigation revealed the cause to be dependant on which region of the firmware you were running. Like e.g you might be experiencing the problem because you're on the international firmware, whereas someone on the central european or asian firmware wouldn't be experiencing problems. If you're not willing to wait for the patch (can be any time next month), then I suggest you backup the current firmware and flash this stock version of the firmware http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2654156 (the country doesn't matter you'll still get option for English). Keep running it until the patch is released then you can flash back the original firmware you backed up before and update.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] darkmystel:
Ah :( it's behaving differently at times :/ I know it's cause kitkat ain't optimised properly yet for our phone

My GF connected my phone to a laptop to copy some pictures, that's why my previous stats were like that.

Now, dunno if this is acceptable or not..

Approx:

6 hours of bluetooth playback using poweramp

6 hrs of of 60 second wifi scanning (home/office profile in tasker)

heavy texting, light calls, occasional wifi, some pictures and short video playback

After a month of use and this phone can still amaze me.

i'm thinking about doing the same too :eek: , can you just list out the steps :) or what you did :) ^_^ or the appropriate links :) to the threads ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Starlith:
After a few weeks enduring poor battery life on .757 kitkat I decided to do a factory reset yesterday. Just about to go to bed and I'm sitting on 49 percent battery and have had 4 hours screen on time today. Much better since the factory reset.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rut1na:
Haven't updated to 761 yet, still on 757 but the battery life just keeps disappointing me. Normal use during the day with just about 3 hrs of screen on time and the thing is pretty much dead. I'm quite confident that this is caused by some sort of wake bug that's still lingering (I suffered from the wakeup bug of 4.3). I don't use any stamina settings (it's a smartphone, I'm supposed to receive my messages & emails when they come). Screen brightness is automatic. No WiFi, since my office doesn't have it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] New Folder:
I think i have unleashed the power of this phone.

Basicly i removed all sony bloatware, reduced max clock a bit and turned off all useless running apps and this is the result:

Also 4.3 has gps bug where it keeps phone 100% awake, so you need to manually stop it - reason why most 4.3 users get bad SOT.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] darkmystel:
Woah :o so you've rooted your phone :o

N tell me more about this gps bug :o

I do use foursquare though :/
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Wurstwarenfachverkäuferin:
In addition to darkmystel's question - which apps did you remove and which turn off exactly? I see a lot of things running on my phone that do at least look useless to me but I'm afraid some are not ... is what keeps me from going berserk and freezing all that stuff.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] F308:
Well. If I use navigation I'd prefer to have screen on all the time.

Need check how it is with GPS on only.

Added later:

I checked. Screen goes black even with GPS on, no navigation running.

I am on 4.3, 14.2.A.1.114, CE, rooted.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] infinitylook:
now i'm on JB 4.3 and I gotta say I was wrong before or maybe I didn't just notice it, I can say battery is way better here on JB (i don't know with the latest KK they say battery issue is solved). I can go 10 hours with more apps and with the same usage as my KK. My 7 hours screen time on KK is equivalent to 9-10 hours screen time to JB, at least for now. Gonna wait till rom settles down before i'll do stats but i'm really positive that JB is great in battery. the 13 hours screen time is possible really with light to moderate usage.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ymwca:
I have a question......How can your phone have the screen on but not awake? What is the phone doing then? Or did I misunderstand sth?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] harryw66:
I am using Stamina mode and I get my sms, Gmail and work emails arriving almost instantly. I just added Gmail, my work email client and Messaging (plus a few others to the Stamina Mode application list).

I usually get 2 days before the battery goes down to below 15% i.e. charge to 100% before I go to bed, put it on airplane mode overnight and use normally between 8am and 10:30pm each day - I don't need to charge again till the following evening. On weekends or work holidays I sometimes still have around 30% remaining by Sunday evening. The last Bank holiday I managed to get through all 3 days - needed charging by late evening on the Monday.

The above figures apply regardless of whether I was using Wifi or 4G at work - stopped using the Wifi (at work) recently 'cos of the extra login required and I got a higher 4G allowance with my contract renewal.

I am running 757 build - I did use to have issues with the older build with the sony wakeup service - but I used to get round that by killing it after any restart. But since 757 things have been fine.

Wow you're lucky amd you are getting that on Kitkat 757. Me, i have to revert to JB

Im on 14.2.A.1.114 Jb
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] harryw66:
I am on 14.3.A.0.757 - stock rom - not rooted etc.

Having said all the above, I dont use facebook, google+ etc, but I am regularly checking my personal and work email and also listen to music upto 30 mins most days. Calls are also limited usually to a few 5-10 minutes a day. I also read the news etc on the phone at least 30mins a day.

The point I was trying to make is that Stamina mode really does seem to work. Up till six weeks ago I was using a Samsung S3 with pretty much the same usage patterns, but I was lucky if I made it from 8am to 8pm before I got the battery low warning. Sometimes, the warning would pop up as early as 4:30pm!! I even replaced the battery with an new (original Samsung) one but that did not make that much difference...

I have Stamina Mode, Low-Battery mode, Location based Wifi and queue background data all switched ON. As mentioned I have added Gmail, work mail etc to the Stamina mode 'Apps in Active Standby' list.

As an example I unplugged my phone from the charger last night around 10:30pm at 100% and put it into Airplane mode till about 7:30am this morning. Right now (15:51) it is showing 67% usage and I have probably had the screen '1h 0m' according to the stats.

1st battery stat on JB.

Hi these are my first records for JB, not too bad i'd say but i'm not really impressed with it.

USAGE SETTINGS: Moderate, 4 hours music via headphone jack, 2 hours via bluetooth speakers. WIFI most of the time, 3g for 30 min, a couple of texts and calls, Full brightness when we went to the beach (around 4 hours there on the beach) then brightness set to minimum for the rest of usage. Picture takings. Mostly browsing and ebook reading are the majority of my activities.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] akabelakos:
can anyone suggest a custom rom with best battery life ???
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] infinitylook:
Try latest kitkat stock i guess stock has still the best battery
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] infinitylook:
2nd stat: brightness lowest most of the time. Wifi almost all the time. 1 hour game
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] infinitylook:
Who has other battery stats there? What do you think of mine. Are we having the same stats?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rut1na:
Infinitylook; compared to mine, you should feel yourself lucky, I can not manage to get 4 hours of screen on time..

Here's my latest from Saturday night out drinking. Lot of Tindering but that's about it, no music, web etc. Really horrible battery performance. Stamina mode enabled for ~1hr at some point but it ended up messing the phone up totally, couldn't get 3G connectivity for 30-45 minutes after disabling Stamina Mode.

I'm in the UK on GiffGaff (O2 network). 761 update done.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] hol17:
If you look at the graph, your phone is staying awake/getting woken up almost the whole time. Install a battery stat application like Gsam Battery Monitor and find out what app is waking your phone.

---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

I agree that seeems strange for me to when i look on it. I do a lot of browsing on chrome and downloading stuff then heavy viber. That's what really consumed my battery but i really wonder why on the graph the awake time is very little
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] infinitylook:
Here is my 3rd stats

Almost 1 hour and half plants vs zombie game

Bluetooth music for 1 hour and 30min

Music by headphones around 2 hours

Heavy browsing and downloading of youtube vids

Heavy viber and xda posting

Minimum brightness most of the time. Connected to wifi for 80% of time

Again it's strange because screen time is high but awake time is low. Im on conservative governor. Rooted, stamina on and apps greenify
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] steven691:
What you all think about this?

I fully charged it at 7am today, just light usage with Flipboard, Whatsapp, Chrome, and a few calls.

Right now it's about 6pm (11 hours) when I post.

Non-rooted

3G On

WIFI Off

GPS Off

Stamina Mode Off

Is this consumption acceptable?

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] steven691:
I'm in Singapore, using the Mobile 1 carrier. Is it due to the carrier?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] harryw66:
Is the com.sonyerricson.android the com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup service? Turn the phone landscape to see the full name.

If so, then this was a known problem with the previous build version and has been fixed with the more recent .757 build which was released a few weeks ago. My workaround was to Force Stop the wakeup service after every reboot of the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] trewelu:
To add an information, the problem mentioned is caused by fast dormancy. It depend on carrier network feature.

My problem was not caused by that though. I restore a back-up and it solve the problem for now.

If you're constantly using the phone in 3G I don't think you could get more screen on time, especially if the signal is very poor.

In WiFi I have 6 hour 30 of screen on and only 3 hour 30 in 3G but the signal is poor and lost sometimes.

I find 4.4.4 to be just as good on battery as JB. This phone is great for battery.

I do find that in STAMINA mode overnight, it drops the battery 15%. I would have thought it would help a lot more.

With lowest brightness you could easily get this time but who wants lowest brightness ;)
