Greenify actually helps me a lot saving battery. I guess it depend on the user.

Some rare apps are agressive and keep coming back in background (facebook)

For this I choose to uninstall it and use the Web version.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ltcdata:
Clean 4.4.2 updated to 4.4.4, STOCK, 6 hours screen on, auto brightness ON (used indoors almost, so no need for a lot of brightness), mostly sms, a few calls and a lot of whatsapp's, screen of time 15 secs, but mostly i turn it off after replying, and snapped a few photos.

Stamina off, low battery mode on (kicks on 20%), location based wi-fi on, queue backaground data ON.

At night airplane mode for about 7 hours.

The 3rd day at about 14hs, still 26% left. Then i charged.

Battery is on is 3rd cycle since bought. ANd after this cycle, i will only charge it to 80% everytime, so it gets better lifetime. (My Xperia Pro is 3 years old, and still holds a charge that runs a full day).
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Socotroco:
Same here, I'm using LUX app as I think it's better for managing brightness. I got 6:30hs using the phone from 07:30am to 11:00pm, 4% battery left when I plugged it.

In a normal day usage, I just used between 3 and 4 hours, go to bed with 40% battery charge, anyway I place the Z1C in the docking/charge station every night.

Best regards.

Battery life

I have a Z1C. In my experience I got similar results. The battery life is very good, with normal use, phone, wifi, 3G, apps syncing, and browising internet every other time, youtube...etc, I can get up to 1 and a half day without charging.

In the other hand what I notice is when playing games the battery drains out very quickly, the same day of use I have to put the phone to charge to avoid it turns off.

In general the battery life is very good.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rzlatic:
i don't like its "permanent" fiddling with phone settings compared to Stamina mode. Stamina mode switches off services during deep sleep but turns them back when screen/phone goes awake. battery guru just leaves gmail sync off, for example.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] w1ll1ng:
Amazing Battery Life

I normally get 2 to 2 and a half days with somewhat heavy use with wifi and youtube streaming and about 1 and half hour talk time. Attached pic I have been discharging 4 days and had almost 1 hour talk etc. . Extremely efficient respective to functionality use type. One of the best phone battery use I have ever come across. I am a battery holic, usually root and rom for this by clocking cpu's etc to gain (S3) and S4 mini is horrible on battery.. No need for the z1c, this is stock unrooted and also NO STAMINA mode activated. Just incredible. One advice it to initially properly calibrate your battery cycles. It's critical to achieve utmost future results of this type. Good luck!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] sl1p1990:
press and hold 'power' + 'vol up' to take a screenshot ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] amnher:
How do you calibrate?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Eason85:
I get about 6 hours as a heavy user using messaging, auto-brightness, Facebook, etc. I use both greenify and autorun manager to turn off the bugged battery-wasting services like checkin, logging, and systemupdate.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] w1ll1ng:
When the phone is brand new out of the box or a new battery is the only opportunity to calibrate. Charge the battery to 100% and not a minute over. Use the phone but don't over kill it with functionality. Let the discharge naturally run all the way down to 1% exact. Charge back to 100% exact. Now all batter cells have been used initially in it's full capacity and you will get the best output moving forward. I do this for all phones ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ltcdata:
But the battery on the Z1c is a big li-ion polimer battery. It's not made of small cells together.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] w1ll1ng:
This is true. This is not the only design for this type battery but for this phone. Regardless of sinle cell or multiple cell the flow of energy concept is the same and what I have shared works for me. Have a read on "hxxp://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries" Sums up my approach. Generally most ppl don't use logic or discretion with battery cycle usage ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aigaming:
Battery is allready formed,that is nonsense;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mosespl:
Confirmed. Nowadays all battery are factory formatted. So there is no need to discharge battery in special way. Every battery should be ready to use from first cycle
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] w1ll1ng:
This has nothing to do with formatting. A pity every battery from factory formatted doesn't give the same result. hmmm I wonder ?. Simple example, try overcharging constantly your battery's and see the results you get out of them. Have a read narrowed down to battery calibration hxxp://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/battery_calibration

This has always worked for me so I guess nonsense is contextual
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aigaming:
You can't overcharge it,it will simply stop when it reaches full,meassure the output on your transformator and you will see;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mosespl:
In z1c battery calibrate itself everytime when pass over 50% while charging. See in factory option
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] w1ll1ng:
Much info for the taking. I am content to share what works for me (referenced) and also see what info is brought. As I have shared, it's a fact from my displayed battery results in earlier post that this approach works for me and always has when done. BTW, by default we should all have similar battery results?.........right...........lol

When I'm in the mood, I'll test stamina mode and share even though it's clear I don't even need it

I am alone here to barely make 5 hours of screen time?!

I removed all extra apps, using stamina and reducing the brightness but I don't understand how some guys can make 8 or 10 hours of screen time.

For me 5 jours is already brillant, I don't need more for sure for one intensive day.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] penicks:
not getting great battery life to be honest

barely two hours of screen time and battery is at 38%, location services and stuff is off, wifi mostly on, barely any 4g. don't know what the cause is
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
Could be everything. What says your batterystats? Normaly display should be on first place. Screenshots of your batterystats could help too. If there is nothing unusual in your stats you can install apps like BetterBatteryStats to have a better look. Also look if your device is only active when screen is on.

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

I think it's because many have underclocked their cpu ;) i have it at max. 1498 mHz and it's still working smooth ;)

Phone is running 13h 40m now, 3h 50m screen on and still 47% left
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aigaming:
Why did you buy this phone if you underclock?I don't get it,this phone is powerhorse and should be treated like that from my perspective;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
I dont play games and in normal use i dont see any difference between 1500 MHz and 2150 MHz. But on battery life you see a difference ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aigaming:
I see, but i can easy notice also how fast our phone open's heavier apps and do multitasking also which needs more power;) cheers

@ everyone with great battery life:

Could you post some screens of your running and cached background processes? I would like to know, why you get 8h+ screen on and great runtime...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] w1ll1ng:
I agree Rob, with that type requirement and when battery is focus, same here. I used to do this on prior samsung galaxies. In addition I used to under clock voltage just above operational use to squeeze battery life. I haven't even rooted this phone and soo great on battery. Will eventually when I'm in the mood and done enough reviews on great rom and kernel pairs. I'm happy there is soo much more I can get out of the battery when I decide to. Happy tweaking ;)

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Meekos:
With all power savings mode ON and with a whitelist of apps allowing to access network (email, whatsapp, wimp, hangout, walkman) I get 41 hours with 7% battery capacity left.

No bluetooth was used and gps was used only when I was using maps/directions. Maybe I should use the term 'use' a little less...

Anyway, this is far more than I expected. Daily uptime for me is max 16-17 hours, then I sleep and while I sleep the Z1c could stay in its' dock and charge.

The big question will be if charging over night, and the battery is not all empty, will decrease the life spand of the battery?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Meekos:
Well, what does that mean, using a phone none-stop?

Regarding Stamina mode, you can allow apps of your choice to use data traffic also when the screen is off..
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Arthur Hucksake:
Stamina mode is great.

You can basically set it to behave like an iPhone does. Why they are so battery efficient.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] wilpang:
Hi,

How do you disable it? I have no option for that in All Applications...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Bigmille:
I had to root my phone and use Titanium backup to disable it. However, if you find My Xperia in all app and do a force stop and clear data, then go to security and uncheck My Xperia in Device administrators.Followed by a reboot of the phone, it should stop the battery drain by the app.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] lepanen:
No, I am in Finland, now my carrier is Elisa.

I have looked a solution for this, and I suppose it is something to do with a feature called FastDormancy. To shut down that phone needs to be rooted, so I need to wait a little while...

I got the same pb as you. I barelly manage to get 5 hour screen on and my pone never have lasted more than 15 hours. the wakelock thing consume more battery than the screen in the battery managment thing. I have no idea about how to make it go away...

I actually love the phone's batterylife. It goes for 2 days on a row with quite some extensive usage here. Only energy saving option that I use is 'put background-data in qeue' (hope my translation is understandable). Had one strange drain one day this week, where it got from 100% to around 10% in half a day, rebooted the phone and after that it was good again. Battery drain gets way worse when using smartband though.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] SXUsr:
Just logging this here, for the second morning in a row I've woke up to find my Phone has switched itself off, yesterday morning the battery had been fully drained despite being half full the last time I looked at it, this morning it's off again and lost a good 10% off the power it had.

I get the impression that the .157 update eats more battery than before.

Hardly surprising if Sony have upped the idle speed of the cpu to 1100Mhz.

I still haven't read any reviews of the advantages of upgrading.

Any positive reasons to move to .157 firmware?

None of the above worked for me.

The amount of wakelocks from different Google Play Services/Android system is absolutely ridiculous. There's hundreds of them... *backup*, NetworkStats, Alarm Manager..etc.

Spent a few days trying to figure it out... all related to Google Play Services going nuts (it updated the same day I received the OTA). I think this is the 3rd or 4th time I've had battery issues with play services across multiple devices so I'm not that big a fan of Google anymore.

Anyways sorted after a factory reset and reinstalling apps from the store. Restoring from any backup caused the issue to persist.

Edit: Nope, 24 hours later and Google play services is eating the battery again.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Sosjojuror:
Just got my phone back from being repaired (it just stopped working when I tried to update to 157). First I had loads of troubles getting Play Store to function so that I could download apps again.

Now the battery just drains away, and it's currently empty (of course I left my backup charger at home ><). 100 % at 7:30 AM, Down to 67 % at 8:00 AM.

No WiFi, 3G / 4G, Bluetooth, GPS or any of that. It just lay in my bed while I did regular morning stuff. When I found it, I charged it for 2 hours and it got up to 86 %, then I strolled down to work. 5 hours later it died. Screen was off, phone wasn't in use, no sound or anything on. Though, it was getting hot, so if it hadn't shut itself off, I would've done it.

I've also noted that it keeps restarting over and over and won't let me save screenshots. I had none of these problems a month ago, before I installed the 157 update.
