.157 generic central europe rom. battery life reduced to max 1 day with the same settings that were on .108 rom.

No specific battery usage detected. Everything seems ok but the drain is significant. I do not know what could be the issue, with same apps and same settings the phone batterylife lasted 2 days without problems.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] heross:
Disable Play Services and xperia resource extension then batterie life come back to 7 days.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] munjeni:
I can confirm this! I used mine for about 10 hours with screen ON because downloaded some huge torrent, but since wifi not working while screen is OFF I was set "never screen OFF" in torrent settings... battery realy worked 10 hours. :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] sl1p1990:
Stock .108 software, stock kernel.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ra9na:
Can you tell us, what settings do you use?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mosespl:
I start to understand how people get such a insane score of screen working. On (normally) using for me ( all time mobile data working or WiFi and tapatalk or browser and I talk a lot) I get 4h of screen max 5h and mostly 1,5 of day max life of my phone. But if I was in Czech Republic and I don't have Internet connection and WiFi and set only to 2g my signal. I v got mostly 5 days of working but I talked only from time to time and shortly because of roaming and it got WiFi connection once per day for maybe 10 minutes and only gmail and fb for 2minutes. I know that it depend moreover from place, signal, data connection etc. I suppose that if I will read ebooks on my tel i will do more screen time but I use my smartphone like a smartphone a lot tapatalking searching forums etc and in my case while doing this 1% of my battery is dropping over 7minutes sometimes max to 10min but sometimes even 5minutes and I was playing with calibration programs and checking in service menu my capacity and every seems to be fine and I this type has that and I must accept this. I don't have time to go and give my phone to Sony center and probably they refuse to change battery.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Kess78:
Yes if the 3G/4G is constantly on even when the phone screen is off you won't get more than 4.5/5 hours. Maybe more if you are just texting on WhatsApp or Facebook.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] sl1p1990:
I'd like to share my little secret of how to reach such an impressive battery life, but I won't, since there is no secret - I was reading an ebook the whole weekend, using MoonReader pro and Google Books, I was also using Wifi from time to time (~ 1h-1,5hrs total during that period). I don't know if there are any settings to be shared- I enable data connection and sync only when I need them.

My battery life/SOT proves one thing - there is no point in judging battery performance solely by looking at screen-on time. If you charge your phone and leave it on your desk with the screen on all the time (which is exactly what happens when you are reading an ebook), you will reach a similar result. It also proves that Z1C's screen is really battery-efficient.

Hmm... I can also say that I'm rooted, using xposed with 5-6 modules (none of them relating to battery saving etc.), rom is odexed, I did not debloat it; using stamina all the time. I also use light-flow and greenify, that's it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Jonfensu:
Here's my result. Stock. 108, AppOps module, Stamina Mode always ON.

Airplane Mode in night. Wi fi and Auto sinc ON when I needed. 1h of gaming

Are you on 3G/LTE or just 2G?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ddanielee:
That's my results.

I have .157 firmware, rooted but with locked bootloader and xposed (only gravitybox module).

3g or WiFi always on, a part of the night.

Scheduler row and ondemand!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] heross:
All your problem is the ExperiaResourceExtension. Deactivate it and Batterielife come back.

and if Wifi is always activ, so clear cache from GoogleServices and PlayStore then reboot.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Jonfensu:
2g

Decent results but not good as my Tab Z. (2d of Battery and 8h of SOT)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] heross:
Experia Resource Extension you find under APPs->All.

but to disable it you must have root and App ala TitaniumBackup.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Jonfensu:
Latest results. Stock deodexed..157, "debloated". Airplane mode in night, WiFi an Auto. Sinc. On when I needed. 1h of music, 30min of Facebook, Gaming and Chrome. 2G Connection. Not bad
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] hol17:
For some reason, GPS keeps coming on (looks incremental every couple minutes) and it looks like "Google Search" keeps asking for location. I disabled everything I could think of to get rid of location requests (clear cache, install an older version, etc) but this is stumping me.

EDIT: Ha! Resolved the GPS issue. Installed the "Disable Service" app and disabled all Google Fit, fitness, and wearable services. My Jawbone syncs with its own app and I don't want those Google Fit services constantly running (wakelock). Seems that the wearable and fitness services were polling for my location constantly.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ft1676063:
Hi, this is my first post on the forum. After saw sl1p1990's test I decided to do my own and have a few pictures to share with you.

I know this may be outdated somewhat since I'm still using 4.3 14.2.A.1.142(IMO with no real difference to the beginning one). I have tried the 4.4.4 with not so good on battery life so I returned to the 4.3

Default firmware and Rooted. about 55 mins on wifi when browsing internet with chrome. another 17 hours was on 2G network without wifi connection for reading a book. Put the phone on airplane mode when sleep.

This also confirm what sl1p1990's conclusion about the SOT and signal strength thing. The most important finding is that if you put your phone still(i.e on a table) then it will almost use battery at all.

I also found the Sony Z1 compact is extremely power efficient when on this mode of operation compared with left the screen on displaying the desktop.

I didn't test that precisely but the SOT would be definitely shorter for a 5-6h period.

Again I'm just do this for fun so this is not a precise enough test since I moved my phone for a few times. I didn't looking through the whole thread if someone achieved 20 or more SOT I would not be surprised......

Unofficial Resurrection Remix, Lollipop builds.

For who was wondering if those very first builds L based have a good battery life.

Unfortunately I've just figured out that I can't post the other screenshots, but I did 5h 50 of screen, with sync and WiFi always active, quite high brightness and almost 1h30 of YouTube

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Didgesteve:
When I got my phone back from service center it showed on the paperwork screen change and software update. Whatever update they put on the phone made the battery life very bad.

I wiped it and started with a clean flash of .108 via flashtool. Since then the battery and phone has been great. Back to 2 - 3 days per charge.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] bpshop:
I've got 2 days, 4 hours and 44 minutes. Is 25% Mobile-Sandby acceptable? :confused:

My Z1 compact was charged after a bit more than 2 hours from 6% to 98% with a magnetic cable and a 2A Samsung charger (from my Nexus 10).
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] WWeltmeister:
Had a lot of battery drain with .157 but could not find the culprit. Better Battery Stats pointed no strange wakelocks, but it looked like wifi was.

Also did a clean flash of .157 but I could not get more then 1 day (light use)

Now I've downgraded to .108 and it works a lot better
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] amnher:
I downgraded too and .108 is really better in all areas. I can't see any advantages on using .157

20hrs of screen on time? (20 horas de pantalla encendida te rindió?... que le hiciste para que dure tanto? cuéntanos los secretos)

Now the same question in english so everybody can understand: what did you do? tell us the secrets!

It's really strange/amazing that he got 20hs of screen on time.

Saludos (Regards)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Jonfensu:
Nada raro. Simplemente dejar la pantalla encendida con alguna app de lectura. La clave es no tocar la pantalla porque de esa manera se mantendría la frecuencia mínima y el uso mínimo del cpu. Así como se mencionaba este equipo es bastante eficiente cuando opera de ese modo y que por lo tanto no podemos juzgar la autonomía mirando el SOT. Esos resultados no muestran mi uso diario, son sólo de prueba.

Nothing strange. Just leaving the screen on with a reader app. The point here is don't touch the screen because in that way the cpu usage and frequency won't rise. As we talked here, this phone is very efficient when it's working in this way, so we can't judge the battery autonomy looking at the SOT. Anyway, those results don't show my daily use, just were/are for testing
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] marsa47:
Here's my battery log from 4 days of light use. Under hour of talking, wi-fi always connected and received many (hundreds) mail notifications, the rest of screen time is for some web browsing.

Of course with heavy use things look different - 2 days battery life with 5 to 8h screen on, depending on what's done on the phone. More CPU - less screen and vise versa :cyclops: Browsing image gallery will give you maybe 10h+, playing heavy game - times less.

The slower you drain the battery, the bigger the impact from network and system standbys will be.

My Z1C has been working perfectly for more than a year. Yesterday, I was checking email; battery charge was 56% - that was what it would normally be around that time of day - all of a sudden I got "Battery Empty - Shutting Down" and off it went. Couldn't restart until it had been on the charger for a few minutes.

Left on charge all night, then, this morning, picked it up and was using it, battery dropped from 100% to 88% in just a few minutes. Now seems to be okay again

Nothing dodgy running, not getting hot!

Hi!

I'm a bit new here and I didn't know where to look for a General topic, so I thought I would ask here if you would recommend this phone for 210$. In my country the tax rate is really high (30%), so after taxes a Compact would cost me about 210-220$. I think it's a pretty good phone, I've been using Sony phones ever since I remember having cell phones, so I really like them. I look after my mobiles, my current xperia Ray is 4 years old, so I even consider Sony a reliable brand. What do you think about it?

I've been lookig for phones below 250$ for a while, and Z1 Compact seems to be a really good choice. (Also if anyone has a better option, I'm listening)

Sorry about posting it in the wrong topic, I couldn't find where to ask people about these kinds of thing.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] heross:
If the little 4,3" screen is ok for you, z1c is also in 2015 a good choise.

Other good Sonys with bigger Screen and a small price are Xperia ZR or ZL.

Here's a little Lollipop stats for you:

As you can see battery life is pretty good I think.

Still 35% left so can easily go a day more.

Automatic brightness, a lot of music, all with Bluetooth headphones (with bluetooth ony disabled at night).

OST is 1hr 13min (like I said I am not a heavy user)

I am satisfied ;)

It looks like your battery is dying. But you can maybe try calibrating it again. I don't recall the exact method but you can search the forum it's there somewhere in Z1 battery life thread if I'm right.

2 months is a long time to repair. I looked at 3rd party options before I read the warranty, would have put a glass back on at the same time then.

Google Play Services keeping mobile radio active

I am facing a problem after upgrading to Lollipop.

On stock unrooted ROM, I have noticed that Google play services is keeping my Mobile Radio active for long durations. Also, if I open any app (Youtube for eg), even after exiting it, keeping the mobile radio active.

For some reasons, they are accessing the mobile data and the modem is eating a lot of power.

I uninstalled the Google Play Services app and after that it was working fine. However, google apps (gmail, maps, keep) stopped working after that. I have to update GPS.

Anyone has a solution to this? I am thinking to go back to Kitkat till this issue is resolved if I dont get any solution.
