I can confirm that killing the process com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup has no ill effects. The phone seems to function as normal, but with extended battery life.

Edit: After a little digging I found that this has been a problem in Xperia phones since 2012. It is connected to switching between 2G and 3G services, depending on what the local mast you are connected to supports.

As mentioned earlier in the thread if you choose WCDMA only or GSM only (in Mobile Network Settings/Network Mode), the problem will go away. But that might cause problems if you go from a 3G area into a 2G area and vice versa.

There is another solution but unfortunately it involves editing a system file and to do that the phone needs to be rooted.

1 - First of all, you'll need to know your carrier MCC and MNC. You can find these on wikipedia or in your APN configuration

2 - Then navigate and open /etc/fast-dormancy/fd_custm_conf.txt

3 - you'll see two lines ending with MCC and MNC and two zeros

4 - Change those zeros to the numbers that you looked up earlier and save

5 - Reboot and enjoy

Thanks to Mirhl at XDA for this

This did not work for me. Even after killing the process, my wake up count continued to rise--thousands of times a day.

Setting my phone to WCDMA only also did not help either (even after a reboot, etc). My wake up count continued to rise and I saw no improvement in battery life while on stand-by

Didgesteve, did this work for you? Did com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup stop waking up your phone thousands of times per day?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Vironic:
Killing com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup did not work for me - still the same amount of wakelocks and battery drain. Only swithing to 2G stops the wakelocks.

I have the com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup problem since four days. I suddenly got an enormous battery drain and started to investigate the issue. However, I don't understand why it started at that particular day. Battery drain was fine before and I did not change any settings or install apps. I found several reports from other users who describe the same problem - battery drain with wakelocks just started out of nothing.

So, I wonder what caused the start of the problem. A change in fast dormancy handling from my network provider (vodafone.de)? Some unnoticed update from Sony? Any ideas?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] RobHands:
Is this normal?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Vironic:
Yes. Sadly.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Didgesteve:
Appologies, when I said killing, I meant freezing with TB. You can't kill it other than uninstalling it, as it's a system app (and you should never uninstall a system app).

Sorry for the mis-information, but yes it did work. It stopped showing up in my battery stats completley, I am still testing, but I think maybe +15% more battery at least.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Vironic:
How did you freeze it? I guess you need a rooted phone.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Didgesteve:
Yes, to use Titanium Backup, which can freeze apps, the phone must be rooted.

I followed Zxz0O0's guide to rooting here.

Coming from SGS2, it was a lot more fiddly, but it does work, and you don't have to loose the DRM keys/TA partition if you stick to stock
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Vironic:
Thanks a lot. I'm also comming from SGS2 and I used CyanogenMod which probalby is a little easier. Rooting the Z1c is a 20 items list. But I think I'll give it a try.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] galaga742:
Hi, actually i upgraded from the xperia zr and battery life on the z1 compact is far better than what you get with the zr. i used to get 4 hours screen on time and 15% left with the zr, however with the z1 compact i get 3 hours screen on time and 50% left by the end of the day. hope this works

battery life in this phone is sick!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] tania247260:
what have u written?It is not clear.Your sentence is not understandable .What did u want to say?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] galaga742:
I have the 2 phones, xperia zr and z1 compact, this is a comparison of battery life between the two after a full day with same usage:

Xperia zr:

screen on time: ~4 hrs

battery % left: 15%

Xperia z1 compact:

screen on time: ~3.5 hrs

battery % left: 50%

I am sorry if it was not clear enough, I was on the go and did not have the chance to use a computer, hope the details help in anyway to the person who requested the information.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] tania247260:
clear now.thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rotsloeh:
how high was the brightness setting on the z1 compact? :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Kess78:
Battery life is way better without the software bugs :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] tania247260:
how did you get out from software bug?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] RobHands:
So far battery life pretty good. Rooted, all stock, kicked out some bloat. GPS off, 2h heavy Spotify use. Brightness manual. Wifi mostly on. Fast dormancy turned off with root browser
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] RobHands:
Still bugging me tho are these massive GServices wakeup triggers. I get about 200 - 300 per charge.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Kess78:
I was mostly in areas with Wi-Fi so the phone was almost all the time in 2G only. Looks like its enough to get rid of the battery drain because I didn't do anything else different.

It's weird because usually the Android OS and Google Services eat a lot of battery and for this charge they did not... I have no idea why but I hope it will stay like this.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] galaga742:
Hi, both were set to automatic with the lowest intensity possible
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Swadin7:
Last light i play game minimum 4 hours and my battery percentage is 54% down. Battery life is not bad but i wish if it upgraded.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] MaBlo:
First day on full charge. The phone was charged a couple of hours before I went to bed. A couple of calls and texts, but as you can see the phone's been used extensively. A lot of browsing and games(not 3d). 7 hours screen time is a new record for me, much better than the iPhone 5 it replaced.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] GunnarKarlsson:
Normal workday for me, but with allot of screentime during the evening

16h without charge 16% left, screen on for 4h 40 min (Whoa, I stare at that screen too much), listening to streaming music 2h 40 min to Bluetooth headset, and 20 min of GPS navigation using Waze. Stamina mode on. (Tasker and TuneIn radio as exceptions)

No movies and no games. Screen at auto brightness but with slider all the way to the right.

If I don't listen to streaming music during the day and don't read for two hours during the evening I usually have more than 50% left after 17h.

Usually i charge for an hour or so during the day when I use the phone for streaming music.

//Gunnar
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] infinitylook:
after my first charge

After my first charge. Use it constantly throughout the day with games and browsing. screen brightness at minimum (it was cloudy day and even 7% brightness is really bright and i was indoors most of the time). I auto activated Low Power mode and Stamina mode at 5% level. Heavy game for 45 min, Music for 2 hours, browsing most of the time.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mangusmeister:
Hi everyone I've just moved over from the moto g forums.

First off love this phone and I do agree that the battery life is above average for certain functions but I have not seen anyone say much about gaming as for me the battery Sucks when playing games.

A 20 minute session on marvel puzzle quest sucked 13% of my battery with no other intensive tasks running in the background. This is very poor and my £100 motor g can do far better with an hours worth of play only taking 7%.

So in summary the battery is ok but when you take the price of the handset into account I'm a bit disappointed.

Anyone else feel the same?

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

Made a mistake and after checking again it was only 16 mins took 13% battery. Is there something wrong with my battery? Lol
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Meekos:
I've tried your game for 30 minutes with some 7 apps running in the background and the battery was drained about 6%.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mangusmeister:
Ok so there is something way wrong. Any ideas anyone? It's been like this since day one. I have used TB to freeze the apk causing issues for some people and that made no difference. I did change to interactive from on demand but sure it wouldn't have such an impact on gaming.

My battery life is good but gaming just kills it fast,
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] hol17:
Considering the Moto G has a vastly inferior GPU and CPU, it can explain why the Moto G would have better gaming battery life.

How new is the phone? If it is only a few days old, the battery stats can be incorrect since it needs to calibrate still.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mangusmeister:
My moto g was over over clocked to 1.6ghz and I know it is nowhere close to xz1c but would that doesn't explain my issue. I'm on my third charge just now so I will leave continue to charge as normal for another few days and see how it goes.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] hol17:
What you could do is charge the phone to 100%, download GSam Battery Monitor, and play the game for 30 minutes. We may be able to see what is sucking the battery and if it is actually the game draining it.

Sent from my Z1 Compact
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kind3r:
Could also be the screen brightness ?

Faster CPU and GPU should mean less battery usage.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] solox:
My xperience is it seems battery drains fastest from 100% - 80%, then it slows down very much. You have the same xperience with your z1c?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
i also had the moto g, and the z1c is clearly more clever in battery managment. i got 2 days on moto g and 3 now on the z1c, with the same games and behaviour that i had.

battery was good for me on the moto g but i got surprised how the z1c was doing even better with a more powerfull cpu&gpu.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] trewelu:
So far I'm quite impressed by the battery. 5 Hour screen on time and 4h+ Bluetooth Music and still 19% left.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] chesterr:
This is right before I updated it to KitKat and I didn't get to use it right and I used it really heavily and I won't get this much of battery life with my Xperia Z and I am really really happy about this phone's battery life and I hope they won't kill it with KItKat. I listened to Music(A2DP) and viewed web pages and let it idle for 6 hours cause I was sleeping at that time. Pretty great I wish I had money to purchase this and waiting for the Xperia Z2 battery life so I can upgrade.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Didgesteve:
Has anyone got any figures for before and after KitKat 4.4 update?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
for me its the same (hard reset instalation)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] militiaOfDeath:
Battery has become worse after update. As if screen uses more battery than on JB. First did a factory reset after updating, don't know if that has any side effects or not.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Didgesteve:
I moved to KK and have had it running a week now.

I noticed that battery consumption is a little bit worse in normal mode, 48hrs instead of 55.

But the Stamina mode is much much better, pushing it to maybe 96hrs. (but I have turned off location, & use airplane mode when I am asleep)

Obviously this is all very user dependant and based on how you use your phone, but for me as a light user surfing with data rather than wi-fi, the difference is noticeable.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ghtop:
I'm getting really good standby time in non-Stamina mode on KK. Currently after 2 days 19h of light usage and just 2hrs SOT, syncing a few Exchange & Twitter & Tapatalk and other accounts, Edge during the day and WiFi in the evening, I'm still at 63% - so averaging 0.5%/hour. That's almost as good as the Moto G.

I also noticed that b/g WiFi scanning was accidentally left on the whole time, but it's still only used 9%. Some big improvement with Google location services there, I think. I'll try to run this as a standby test for the rest of the week and post screenshots when I'm empty.

Last week the big drains I had were from Android System (25-30% per charge), but there are so many services in there that it's difficult to tell the culprit. For this charge it's just 6% so far .... I guess something improved somewhere. I wish the battery stats apps still worked properly with KK :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Volovate:
Just wanted to know, did you flash kk on your phone or did the update via sus or pc companion?

I flashed a generic uk firmware and I'm experiencing battery loss as I at the end of this day am left with 60% battery , with 1h20m screen on, light browsing and with sync on, light usage of gps, and that is it. From what country have you made the update if not flashed?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] slannmage:
Once I disabled that com.sonyericson thing that was causing my phone to wake up all the time I've found idle battery life to be mental!

Just sat on 89% for hours, I never charged it to 100% either, like 92% or something.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Didgesteve:
I flashed the Generic UK from zxz0O0s thread, here

It all went smoothly, although hearing about all the glitches people have had not coming from full wipe, I did a full wipe and can report no problems.

BetterBattteyStats works well on KK and will find your battery eating proccess with ease.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rut1na:
I've also been suffering from the bloody fast dormancy bug. Has this not been fixed in the KitKat update? I'm still running the same FW the phone came with in January, no updates have been offered so far.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] flashkobalt:

very happy with battery life coming from a galaxy s2...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rut1na:
Answering to myself, I can confirm that the fast dormancy bug has been fixed. Battery life seems like from another world now.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Volovate:
It's a more than impressive screen time but have you used data or wifi? What kk have you flashed, from what country?

I have kitkat aswell but haven't tried to use my phone as much to see if it reaches such performance
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Inata135:
Bonjour,

before kitkat :

The battery drains by com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup was 10-15% and system android 5-7 %

Now with kitkat (The process is now packed into Android System in the battery stats ) :

i have 20-25% drain battery by system android

Is that really kitkat solved the problem com.sony.ericsson.wakeup?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Rentz164:
First 25% gprs, ~65% wifi, ~10% 3g. Original firmware, updated via pc
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] idimitro:
With push notifications enabled, 2h listening of music with bluetooth headphones, WiFi browsing of around 3h I still have ~40% battery at the end of the day. This is with CM 11.

Really loving it!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aroy11:
New to this forum and to the smartphone world.

This is my first smartphone and I am already loving it. Battery life is insane, averaging at 40 hours every cycle with moderate to heavy use.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ghtop:
So here's my test on KitKat this week: 6 days with 4h31m SOT, now at 15% battery.

This was a light usage test for standby performance mainly (not Stamina mode): WiFi & Edge, syncing a few Exchange accounts, Twitter, Flipboard, Tapatalk, etc - mostly stuff I'd use every day - and light browsing, 3hrs music via Walkman, some Youtube, no games or camera. A decent baseline for me.

Not quite as good as the Moto G, but pretty nice nonetheless. Maybe I could have got through most of tomorrow too to reach 7 days, but I wanted to recharge.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] bananaman182:
does anyone else have sensors.qcom showing up in their battery usage???

i can't find any info about what this is and why it's ausing battery drain! is this normal??
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] vlawrence0324:
Can't view the screenshot. I don't have that when I go to battery usage. Try restarting the device. If it still sucks battery maybe you have third party app that is using some sensors.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] bananaman182:
thanks for your reply...

i'll try again:

<a href="http://imgur.com/onVK8Hl"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/onVK8Hl.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a>

<a href="http://imgur.com/9X97CKM"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/9X97CKM.png" title="Hosted by imgur.com"/></a>

i know it's only 9%... but i feel like it's 9% i could be saving if i figure out what it is. i don't have many apps installed, not sure what could be causing it. is there a way to tell which apps are using the sensors?

i'm running jelly bean now - maybe when i update to kitkat it will be better. just waiting for the bug fix.

does anyone know if they have fixed the fast dormancy issue in KK? not sure if i have to apply the same fix as i did for jelly bean - was having the common wakeup issue but was fixed.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] fade2black101:
Wow
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] vlawrence0324:
I'm running kitkat and don't notice any battery issues. Here's my stats for today. Couple hours playing, news, browsing, messaging. Wifi only all the time with stamina mode.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] charlatan01:
I can't stress how impressed I am with the battery (and thus stamina) of this device.

Streaming music via wifi (through a VPN connection) for ~ 5.5 hours, two email accounts sync (Exchange is push), screen on quite frequently to skip tracks, and ran Maps to navigate somewhere (not that far). Started at 99%...SNAP!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] bananaman182:
I'm still not sure what the problem was but I seem to have resolved it by doing a factory reset. I have only installed a few apps, so far so good. I'm afraid to install anymore apps on the device in case I end up with the sensors.qcom problem again.

I am currently on jellybean, rooted. When I had the issue I was running a restored backup... not sure if this was the issue. Starting to get a bit frustrated, sick of having to tinker with the device to get the most out of it. For example I had the fast dormancy issue. The only mods I have done is fast dormancy and headphone volume boost.

Anyway, I now have decent battery life again - hopefully it stays that way. I wish I knew what caused it though. If it comes back again... might have to move on to something else (hello S5).
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] jsscx:
resolution is the real deal.

mine it can last 7 hours with screen on.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] bananaman182:
ok so I still have the sensors.qcom draining my battery. i got through most of the day without it showing up, checking battery stats every few hours. I suddenly noticed it draining my battery again, but my usage didn't change. using the same apps. don't know what triggered it.

it chews up more of the battery by the hour. it goes up 1 percent each hour. it gets up to 15 percent, at which point I restart the phone.

can someone help me out with this? how can I diagnose the problem? thinking kitkat might solve it, will just have to wait for root.

could this be a hardware problem? I'm tossing up the idea of selling it now and getting an s5. would much rather keep this phone though... any help is appreciated
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] blue_quartz:
I'm a pretty light user. After almost two weeks of using my Z1C, I'm confident enough of the battery life to hide the battery icon completely. As long as I top up the charging nightly, I have one less thing to worry about...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rocku_dj2000:
Hi, I am from India.. Bought z1 compact around 3 weeks back.. Very impressed with the battery life.. Earlier i had a lumia 920 which used to die on me by evening 5pm. Z1 compact goes on and on. And you would struggle to drain it even on heavy usage. I use stamina mode on 3g at office and Wi Fi at home. Enabled most of the messengers , mails and social networks to work even on stamina mode.

See my usage in the attached screenshots.

PS: sorry for the volume slider in the screenshot. The usage was 1day 2 hours.
