I'm quite happy with mine
[Xperia Z2 General] _heisenberg:
What did you do for this awesome battery life? I mean your CPU freq, the ROM and other power saving apps.
[Xperia Z2 General] migueldbr:
thats actually quite normal, i had similar stats with stock rom wihtout root or any modifications...
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:

[Xperia Z2 General] kev70000:
nothing special, it's what I do with my z1 ..

Z1 stock rom & kernel , odexed , rooted ... stamina do all the work , greenify too ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
What doing a z1 user here ?? Lol

This is a z2 forum otherwise we can post our battery stats in Z1 forum also ;)

Mine btw:

Sent From Somewhere On Earth With My Z2 ^^
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Z1, Z2, Z3 are simulare enough

Its something i wouldent bother about ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
Z1 is a heavy weight but it is okay bro, it was means as a lil troll :)

Peace

[Xperia Z2 General] Jiyeon90:
Is that 3 days? For a z1 those are impressive results
[Xperia Z2 General] kev70000:
hey hey , I love to compare the performance and battery stats between Z1 / Z2 / Z3 ;)

i post on Z1 thread too occasionally ;) ( not often enough, not enough time ... )

yeah ,it's nothing ... sometimes i got 6-7-8 days with moderate usage , and 3,5-4 or sometimes 5h of SOT =)

I have often remarked, the best is the enemy of the good ! ^^ stock rom with some improvements is great ! root , remove some system apps , greenify , stamina , good management of the system , few build.prop , and go !!! =P

some custom rom are also very good and very efficient , but I prefer to keep a stock unit, efficiency, with minimal lag ...

sorry for the out of context ...

screenshot of usage ( very light usage , phone/SMS , and little usage of wifi / chrome / play store ) , sorry for my bad english =/
[Xperia Z2 General] migueldbr:
Why buy a z2 when you use it only 3.5 hours(screen time) in 8 days?thats basically a dumbphone, not a smartphone lol
[Xperia Z2 General] kev70000:
my phone uses phases are random, this screenshot corresponds to a busy work week and a quiet weekend ;) ( at work, my phone is in my locker )

it depends ...

I do not intend to buy me Z2, Z1 is almost equivalent to it a few things around , I wait to buy Z4 =) my girlfriend wants to buy a compact Z3 which is a great phone and a good deal !
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
Lol !! A very hard one !!

Which phone do you have then, a Samsung/Htc ?

Well the Z2 have a better battery then those 2 for sure :)

Btw he have a Z1, did you saw that !!!

Sent From Somewhere On Earth With My Z2 ^^
[Xperia Z2 General] migueldbr:
I actually thought you had a Z2 already, didnt notice you had a Z1

i thought he had a Z2 (didnt see he had a Z1) and i was wondering why buy such an expensive phone to give it almost no use? I think i dont use my Z2 much and i get the same screen on time in just two days lol
[Xperia Z2 General] Jiyeon90:
Meanwhile my z2 is still going strong, will see if I can achieve 1 week.

And yeah, this is my real life usage, since I got a z3 tablet I only use the phone when I don't have the tablet around.
[Xperia Z2 General] kev70000:
OK no problems ;) ( i'm on Z2 thread , normal ^^ )

My first wish is for a phone that does not consume when I do not use it! and when I need it, he resumes his duties .

my screenshot shows that Sony Z products do it very well =)
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
XD my Battery life is just crappy, no matter what Phone or ROM.
[Xperia Z2 General] migueldbr:
with bad cell reception over the course of 4 days i guess its normal to have bad battery...btw why such a low cell reception?Why dont you consider changing network or something?
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
You know some say that 4.4.4 is great but I honestly think 4.4.4 just ruined my 6-7hours battery life which I got on 4.4.2. :(
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Tzz......

I'm not at home for a few days and my Battery Life keeps getting better -.-

Mainly chrome surfing, lots of videos, some Whatsapp and a few Fotos.
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
Is it so bad bro [MENTION=3056043]Haldi4803[/MENTION] ? :(
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
At home? Yeah!

Mobile Signal quality is really low always switches between 4g, 3g and 2g depending where at home I am.

And I have 3 Wifi AP with the same SSID.

I rarely get over 6h SoT, mostly 4-5
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
thats strange

typically i get 6hrs SOT, none less, none more.

course i also do the same things every day with my phone :/
[Xperia Z2 General] xfri:
What do you think?
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
I don't xD

I'm student and my life isn't planed.

Sometimes i'm at home the whole day and don't touch my phone. (Jep, not a single whatsapp message the whole day, and I've set email to manual refresh.)

Then other days I'm out an use about 3hours or more Video watching and Web browsing, some video recording.

When the weather is nice I prefer my Hammock and either use Smartphone or Tablet to keep myself updated about the news and all forum surfing, instead of my home PC.

So I rarely manage to get a fair test of different settings for my daily life ^^ that's why I prefer fixed benchmarks and why I started to create my thread :)

Usage pattern?

I was using mine in fairly dark conditions. So the Screen must have been rather dark. And I used Headphones, I think the internal Speaker uses a lot of energy.

P.S. Whats that e symbol in the top left corner?

That reminds me....

I once wanted to create a few Benchmarks based on daily activities like browsing, music listening, whats app, gaming, video watching and compare in battery drain.

Never managed to find enough time to start that xD maybe one day...
[Xperia Z2 General] xfri:
Pattern? mine adapt to lighting condition. I use bluetooth headset when I'm going outside but when i'm at home I use headphone. E- Eset mobile security & antivirus.
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Im a student too but whats funny is the way i live is why i do everything the same every day.

Music in BG and XDA browsing then later in the day youtube.

same thing next day.
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
Hmm oke that is weird indeed bro [MENTION=3056043]Haldi4803[/MENTION]

I have always 3G when in am outside home and sometimes 4G and when i am home i use always wifi..

What you think about this btw ? ^^

Every day the same usage of my Z2.
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
SCNR xD

Missing Screen on Time? ^^

But you have way less orange and red in your mobile signal strength bar than the ones i get when i'm at home.

P.S that's the white design of V2.4 ?
[Xperia Z2 General] Pandemic:
Ooh yes sorry here it is:

Yet taken but i was talking with someone and checkin FB and yes but i us the theme NXT Material Blue by Niaboc79 and personal private stuff on my rom bro ;)

Yes i have good signals, my provider is Vodafone and that a good one here in the Netherlands ^^
[Xperia Z2 General] blade_:
hello!what rom for better battery?i want wifi on and 3g all day because of viber/whatsapp
[Xperia Z2 General] rronaldrajat:
Seems quite good so far

Xperia z2 Battery test after using for 2 months now
[Xperia Z2 General] nfkeskin:
It's awesome. How could u get this results? It's been 12 days since i bought mine. I usually get 4,5 - 5 hours Screen on time with 13-20 hours of using.
[Xperia Z2 General] Jiyeon90:
Stamina mode is what does the trick

Not bad huh?
[Xperia Z2 General] nfkeskin:
I take 5 - 6 hour screen on time with stamina mode too. So it's normal i suppose.
[Xperia Z2 General] migueldbr:
what??am i reading that right?7 days of use and you got 6 hours sot?no way you have mobile network on all the time with those stats...

edit: just saw you did have mobile radio on...whats the catch?how come most people get like 6 hours sot and 2 or 3 days of use and you get 7?lol

im assuming you dont use the phone like a kindle or something
[Xperia Z2 General] Jiyeon90:
Well I dont game on my phone and have gps and auto sync turned off.

For the most part I use it for web browsing and for social apps.

Also since there's little sun here my brightness stays most of time under 50% on auto
[Xperia Z2 General] migueldbr:
Still that seems unreal...also your gsam average stats say that usually you average at about 6+ sot with 1d20h of use. What did you do differently to get to 7 days?
[Xperia Z2 General] Jiyeon90:
That's because I always charge the phone every 2-3 days when the battery is around 55% with 2-3 SoT. It never goes below that, that's why my average stats are a bit off I guess.

I was curious to see how much it lasted before it died and that's what I got.

This screenshot is from before I got a tablet when I used the phone a lot more, I could easily get 9-10 SoT, my gsam average stats are more accurate here
[Xperia Z2 General] romdroid.:
I put stamina mode on when I have less then 40% battery. I get 6,5 SOT
[Xperia Z2 General] rronaldrajat:
Since your phone is only 12 days in use, i would suggest try charging it completely to 100% and then let it drian out to zero once without charging in between. This calibrates your battery cycle. Also keep in mind that always have the stamina mode enabled , That does help a lot. Make sure you only drian out the battery from 100 to 0 once as doing it on regular basis would hamper the battery in a long run. Keep auto Brightness off whenever possible as it tends to consume power. These are some basic things i've done with my phone and it seems to work very well so far.

Cheers...

Hello Z2 community. Tought I made my first post here with my best so far battery performance. Didn't even dreamed about this with my N4.

Sent from my D6503
[Xperia Z2 General] nfkeskin:
As i know, it is wrong to use phone till it's battery reach 0. I always charge it completely to 100% and use it till it's battery level 15 - 20.
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
and that's why i'm not really fond of my Battery life xD

Was out, few hours traveling by train, video watching, about 10 minutes video recording.

P.S. Yes Stamina mode was activated at first, but i deactivated it before i went to sleep because i had to transfer 1.2gb videos from phone to my NAS over WiFi, so the whole Standby part which drains like no energy was without stamina mode :)
[Xperia Z2 General] Koostis:
The 4th charge cycle and I'm pretty disappointed as my Z1c could do better :D 1 day 6 hours and 6:07 sot without stamina and 1 day 10 hours with 6:10 sot with stamina. Mobile data/WiFi always on for viber and about 2-3 hours of YouTube. Stamina not helping that much?
[Xperia Z2 General] tOrNadO™:
Thats the avg battery life on Z2.. I myself get the same with 2g on all the time plus i game a lot.. CoC mostly.. So it drains more, yet i get 6h sot without a hiccup.. Plus 4.4.4 has reduced the battery life on Z2.. It used to be better on 4.4.2, 8h sot was avg.. I think with lollipop, we'll see a significant improvement in both performance and battery life.. Meanwhile, if u have ub'd, i'd suggest u try one of those CM ROMs.. They give the best performance and battery life.. Try using fxp aosp if u like.. ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] Koostis:
I'm doing my best to stay stock to keep my warranty and it is really hard doing so :D

Edit: woah, charged the phone overnight and it's even worse now! Chrome combined with its 'sandboxes' ate more than 20%
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Here is mine with Stamina mode Deactivated.

2days outside, one day staying home.

About 30mins of GPS and 50 minutes of Sound via speakers.
[Xperia Z2 General] rronaldrajat:
Really a handy piece of device when it comes to battery life

using the device for over 2 months now and over a period of time it has shown to be quite reliable when it comes to battery life.

No need to go through all the hassles of charging your smartphone every night .:o
[Xperia Z2 General] leiros:
Just got this phone used, around a year or so I think.

Still outperforms my n4 by far.. Been running the phone in stamina mode with auto brightness, any tips for getting it to last longer?

Although I am happy with how it has performed. (Light gaming, social media on the go and some music.)
[Xperia Z2 General] Koostis:
Your stats are the closest to mine, and we use pretty much the same settings I guess. No idea how they manage to get 8 hours of SoT or atleast 6+ hours when using the phone for more than 2 days :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Rash-182:
With terrible signal reception in my room and some traveling on mostly 4G, I can usually manage to get just over 4 hours of screen on time in 2 days. I think I can get much better results when I move :) Everything stock

Battery Test Live - Lollipop Stock 18/03

Hello, i wanted to make a little battery test of this new update.

Considerations: The Phone has been factory reset, i have no root, only stamina mode is active, Bluetooth, Wifi, NFC, Sync, Location (Powersave) are Always On.

Facebook, Whatsapp, Messenger and Telegram are in the background.

Email, Gmail and Whatsapp are Whitelisted in Stamina mode

The day started at 7:40 am, sent a couple messages via whatsapp, did some facebook browsing and chrome browsing, on On Wifi.

Drove 15 minutes to university, Bluetooth connected.

At University Wifi is always on, but unstable so it sometimes switches to 3g, Went to eat at 12:35 ----> Battery at 90%

Had two phone calls and a lot of whatsapp, tried to upload these pictures, came back at 14:30 (because of issues)-----> Battery at 80%

One app installed, some facebook, some 9gag and web browsing, little whatsapp, Bluetooth connected for 15 minutes, came home at 17:45 ----> Battery at 70%

At home i read some newspaper articles, browsed, used facebook and whatsapp. Then a 40 minutes trip to mi girlfriend's place with bluetooth connected, two uses of TrackID: 21:19 ---> Battery at 60%

In her basement reception is bad, like really bad, so i had a bit of drain for it, not much browsing or anything there, only some facebook to show her a post, thanks to reception it took me a while :P, then i came home, 00:05 ----> Battery at 50%

First considerations: Based on my standard usage i can see an improvement of 4-5% points of battery life, still, it's only 30 hours since i installed this new build, so it could improve.

I will consider wakelocks during the night. Please Remember that i'm not using Greenify or anything else that could improve battery life except for stamina. There are a lot of wakelocks during dytime :D

Woke up at 7:30 - - - > battery at 38% .. Only WiFi was on during the night. So not so good, i guess is due to the fact that the installation is new

Easy morning today: watched two videos, browsed, used facebook, read two newspaper articles, whatsapp and played some snes emulator, Entered battery saving mode at 20%: 12:06 ---> 16% Battery

Since the number of attachments is over, and i don't like to discharge to the maximum, i think i will end my live test here.

I think still have 5 hrs of battery, so probably a good 1hr srcreen on time.

----> For a total of 31 hrs (4:50 screen on) of battery, on my usage, the improvement on the KitKat stock rom (which was rooted, greenyfied and with frozen wakelocks for google location services) is of one hour, right now, but with the issue of tonight, which was a little strange and probably due to the fact the build has just been installed 48 hrs ago. Still improvement it is. Bye! ;)

08:00. 08:00. 09:00 and 3/21 and 3/22 so I assume the phone has been up for more than 2days and 1 hour.... Maybe....

BTW, the Lollipop feature "battery doctor" or whatever it was called is for app Devs only?

CM12 2503 Infected Build Battery Life

Here's my battery usage on Infected's CM12 Build. Of course, I'm very impressed to get almost 6 hours with 18% left even without any power saver or stamina mode.

I'm not a gamer but I'm a moderate to heavy data user with mobile data 3G H+ and bluetooth tethering mostly on from morning to afternoon and sync enabled. Mostly used apps were Reddit Sync Pro, Chrome, Link Bubble, Gmail, Spotify, Poweramp and Mx Player Pro. I usually charge the phone around 8pm before sleeping since I don't prefer the phone be always plugged on the wall. Charging time on CM takes around 3~ hours (4+ hours on earlier build) which is my only gripe with this ROM.

PS: To keep the Stock Z2 Lollipop look and feel, I installed the XperiaPOP Z4 CM12 theme.
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Ressurection Remix 5.1

Over 2 days 4h SoT.

Not impressed. . .

The battery was fine at the beginning now has dropped so much and I see that is the Android system and the screen that consume so much and I have everything set to a minimum as brightness.

Anyone else notices to much Google services drain on stock . 690?

And I'm still not sure if all these fast dormancy Wakelocks do drain battery or if the switch to low energydrain networks saves battery.....
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Not so much haldi

Ive had few issues with battery drain however those issues went after i debloated and removed loads of google bloat
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
it seemed like such a beautiful start :( 6% Lost in 15 hours! Mostly idle yeah... Wifi... only tiny problem with the wlan_rx_wakelock.

It could have lasted for 11 days! not a single Google Wakelock! Deactivating google service Framework sure worked like a charm :D

No Idea what exactly the Android OS was doing... keeping mobile network active while in Wifi? wtf?

Well yeah... a phone is a phone, so you need it for more things than just staying idle in Standby... After watching 1.5 hours videos (480p software rendered in MX player) and browsing the web for hours i went to sleep and let my phone stay on Mobile network over night.

Again 6% Lost but this time in about 8 hours. Sony Stamina Mode seems to work WAY better on Mobile Data than WiFi, only 9 Minutes bam_dmux_wakelock during this time.

After that the "active phase" began using the phone every now and then, traveling around.... 15% Lost in 7 hours with 20 Minutes SoT, way more bam_dmux_wakelocks.

Over the Total time of 1day 20 hours i had 5hours SoT:

Oh yeah..... google services is back..... and i miss Xposed framework, because in greenify you can allow what's app to receive GMS push message.
[Xperia Z2 General] beni8978:
How did you disable google services? Because you can't watch youtube without these services.
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
ttbt... never tried that xD i didn't care what breaks, simply wanted to get rid of the wakelocks... "google play services has stopped responing" popped up about once a hour.
[Xperia Z2 General] Jiyeon90:
This is with lots of YouTube and some Web browsing, auto brightness at 65%

I think I could reach 8h of sot before it died
[Xperia Z2 General] tvdang7:
Battery life not looking so hot my first 2 days with lollipop. I lost about half an hour of screen time

Well my house always has that signal strength it's a constant. So I'm pretty used to it.

Just updated to lollipop in the netherlands. Get massieve battery drain. Is it wise to do a factory reset after an ota update? Did not do that yet.
[Xperia Z2 General] tOrNadO™:
Yes do it.. Next time instead of updating via OTA, use flashtool and download the FTF and then flash with clean wipe.. That'll help u lots.. ;)

yes, did a factory reset and now batterylife seems a lot better. Thanks :good:

[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Capping at 1500mhz is not worth the hassle.
[Xperia Z2 General] waleed.619:
Does this delete all of ur apps and contacts?
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Yes, be sure to have your contacts saved (via google account, or on external SD card, or simcard) and all the important app data like savegames via titanium. Normal apps will be reinstalled via playstore automatically.
