That SOT

Before you comment :

1. No i didn't cheat

2. It's stock , locked, Non rooted

3. wifi was on whole time (3G when i was in college).

4. No battery saving apps

5. Stamina mode(NOT ultra stamina mode) when battery reaches 20%.
[Xperia Z2 General] Dendis:
Opinions, where I should go better?
[Xperia Z2 General] cedropol:
I think your SOT is pretty good.

I assume you did not remove/set off Google services? Stamina all time On?
[Xperia Z2 General] vansmuk:
Existenz Y

I fiercely urge everyone to try Existenz.

normal daily usage

stamina mode always on(exceptions for mail, social apps and Cerberus)

wifi and BT always on

The highest of fives for [MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION]

cheers
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
i've used Existenz for a while, it's not bad.

btw guys, what's the normal Overnight standby Battery drain?

Because this one here does seem to good to be true!

And yes, i do have 2 email accounts syncinc every hour.... no stamina mode!

P.S yeah... really woke up at this time of the day xD
[Xperia Z2 General] Dendis:
How to remove /swt off Google services. Stamiina always on.
[Xperia Z2 General] cedropol:
Why do you want to do this? If you reach these results w/o doing this you probably don't need to do it.

Especially if you are not an experienced user.

Of course you can look for i.e. freezing aps, removing Google Play Services etc.
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Anyone here uses Amplify?

I'm not sure what the services: com.sonymobile.storagechecker/.controller.DeviceStorageService and com.sonyericsson.devicemonitor/.DeviceMonitorService do.

I think the device Monitor Service might something with Thermal Throttling?

Sadly the first one is causing kinda lot of Alarms ~.~

com.sonymobile.storagechecker.intent.action.ALARM_EXPIRED

I do not like the Expired in there... But if its called storage checker it might be some special Sony Optimization for NAND so I dont want to stop or reduce it....

Anyone knows more?
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Phew.

Stamina Mode sure does the trick for all those Wlan_rx_wake wakelocks. At least if you have no exceptions.

Although Exchange service does not like being cut from the Internet ^^
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
BTW, anyone knows why it shows WiFi conneceted even though I've deactivated it manually AND set Location scanning via WiFi in advanced settings to no?

P.S I think the 5:30h SoT are pretty OK if you know that ive been under direct sunlight the whole time!

Underclocked to 1.5ghz

You know I envy all of you who's getting great battery life on lollipo.

I never reach above 5hrs of SoT and 2days battery life. Plus amplify doesn't seem to do the trick.

Edit: when are you gonna share the kernel with us? :d

New Z2 battery performance on KK 4.4.4

I got my Z2 almost two weeks ago, and after a lot of debloating, this is my battery stats. Would love to hear your opinions. I am using Stock ROM KK 4.4.4 and I didn't update to LP yet. And speaking of that, I've read a lot of contradictory reviews concerning updating the Z2 from KK 4.4.4 to LP. Mainly due to battery issues. A lot of people say that the battery performance on KK is better, while others believe LP is a lot better. Any advice on that? Is the update worth it or should I stay at KK for the moment? Thanks in advance! :)
[Xperia Z2 General] ottomanhero:
KK was all good on battery drain when my phone was fresh.It degraded slowly however to the point of having 3 hours 30 mins etc.

Having upgraded to lollipop, it returned to its usualy 4 hours 30 minutes - 6 hours range.

I suggest that you update, lollipop has also bit better on performance part (noticeable in racing games)
[Xperia Z2 General] DARED3ViL:
So, the usual range is 4 - 6 hours! I've been wondering how people get up to 10 hours SoT and about two days without charging?! :)

And that means LP give a BETTER battery life? Should I go for the update then?

I also read your guide on prolonging battery life, which I found very useful and I'll be using it. Thanks for that, too! ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
2x Standby, exact same location. First normal, 2nd with Stamina Mode....

Way more Wakelocks but less battery drain... -.o

I only have Email and WhatsApp excluded. So some strange app needs Internet all the time and causes Wakelocks....
[Xperia Z2 General] ottomanhero:
Had suspicions but couldn't check cause no root.

KK has better wakelocks though LP gives more screen on time overall.Depends on how you use your phone really.

If you use your phone rarely through the day, mostly keeping the screen off etc. stick with KK

If you use your phone a lot that you have to charge in the end of the day, lollipop is the thing for you
[Xperia Z2 General] Malik99:
i also was quite hesitant before updating my phone because of mixed reviews... Trust me you should go for the update but i think you should update it via pc... Battery timing is almost the same....but the looks and ui have much much improved..
[Xperia Z2 General] DARED3ViL:
Thanks for your reply, mate! But why should I go for the PC update? Why not the OTA?
[Xperia Z2 General] peeweew:
Setting>Wifi>Advanced>Turn off "Scanning Always Available"

That should fix it.
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Faulty translation on my end. Sorry.

That is the Setting which was deactivated from the beginning, therefore I was astonished that WiFi still was active.
[Xperia Z2 General] Allek84:
The battery is awesome and after year a go.Here is one of my bst results on lollipop ,on Existenz rom I think
[Xperia Z2 General] Malik99:
I dont know the specific logic but i know some people who went for ota update and faced problems..... also if you go for ota update,, first your phone will download 4.4.4 then after some minor updates it will finally install 5.0.2... while if you update it via pc companion it will directly update it to lollipop.... i have also read it on a number of forums that update via pc is more stable..... and i have personal experience also.... my device is performing great.... as far as battery is concerned i get almost 40 hours of backup,,, and 5 and half hours of screen time.... this screen time includes almost 1 and a half hours of snapchat and 4 hours of wifi... plus 50-60 text messages ..... hope this will give you a rough idea... if there are further questions,, ask me... :)
[Xperia Z2 General] peeweew:
I think I've read this somewhere.

This is an issue with the Wifi for Lollipop if advanced setting is set to 5GHz. You may have connected to a router with enabled "WMM-No-Acknowledgement".

Once that router is already in your wifi list, you need to either forget that wifi or disable that setting in the router.

Hope this helps.

[Xperia Z2 General] Nalgas:
Hello!!

For everyone using latest 5.1.1 and getting the worst battery drainage ever...

I did try a factory reset and nothing changed... Wakes and Wi-Fi were draining my battery... Android OS was responsible for almost the same percentage as screen on...

I was using an app to turn screen off... And I realized that when I used that shortcut my battery started to drain, on the other side, if I turn of my screen using the power button everything goes fine, no wakes and Wi-Fi goes off...

So I uninstalled my turn off screen app and my battery life is the same as it used to be :))

Hope it helps...

[Xperia Z2 General] NirmalSitaldin:
[MENTION=6119232]thiagostocco[/MENTION] Hi! By the looks of the Battery graphic, the performance is good though.. The phone calculates your last usage and with that calculation it indicates how many hours is let (f.e. the 11 hours). That doesn't have to mean that it will automatically drain in 11 hrs, it depens on your usage :) Also the OS sometimes drains battery (I guess it's the Facebook Radio bug or sth). You can look at your screen on time to have a better idea if your battery is fine.. But it looks good
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
PlayServices had this mobile radio active thingy on :crying: Plus I never turn my WiFi on

This was entirely on LTE/ 3G, Location was turned off. Otherwise I wouldn't be getting this.

Nothing was greenified, but used to block the wakelocks using amplify but not the Alarms.

During deep sleep phone sleeps like a baby.

Getting 5-6hrs of SoT is a dream now :p
[Xperia Z2 General] Rajaasim1980:

Also if you have someone that Just wanna use the z2 as a pure Phone withut all the apps use ultra stamina mode. 30days standby and 15days if Just slightly used :)

Stamina mode around a week of battery

I comeback from Pure X v8 to stock 232 v and battery is great.

Here is my result from last night:auto brightness,sinhronization of 8 accounts,location,weather forecast and wcdma/GSM auto mod :)

Which is your record screen on time on Z2?

My is about 9 hours from last few months.
[Xperia Z2 General] Dendis:
Dont you feel like missing something, when you go back from custom ROM to stock?

How to fix that bug, where WiFi is off, but in battery it shows that its online for ever?
[Xperia Z2 General] Allek84:
Some mods is good on custom roms but the battery is never like on stock.

I dont have bug that wifi dont work,maybe on some roms on lolipop when phone goes from mobile data to wifi,wifi dont connect on network until you turn on the screen but I have no get atention for that.

I don't think that's a bug, it's a feature. Try and go to Settings -> Wifi -> Advanced and turn off scanning always available and Wifi on during sleep.

Here is mine. Not so great compared to others in this thread. But i am very happy with mine. No xposed, no greenify. Played some games also.. Lollipop 5.1.1 236 Firmware. Actually if we get a 5 hour 30 minutes SOT in a android smart phones nowadays means its enough. Atleast for me... This screenshot is from my small rom PureX Z2 v10 Fully Odexed.

PureX z2 v10 + amplify + greenify + stamina + disabled Google services

Sync off, brightness auto 50%,GPS off

Whatsapp, viber, messenger, fb,reddit, tapatalk. Played some games (like 1.30 -2hrs)

If mobile data 3g(it was like for 3-4hrs) , If WiFi -2g

I got a bug where it shows that WiFi is always on, If its even disabled (scanning always is disabled) (how to fix?, maybe [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] you know? )

What do you guys think? Should i be happy, that I dont even reach like 7hrs? ? Whats wrong, or its normal? Maybe amplify, greenify ruins my SOT? (im annoyed of mobile radio active bug)

Guys

Comparing SOT is a waste of time. If we get a above 5 hour SOT nowadays in a smartphone means thats good. Usage is different for everyone.. Comparing SOT is a waste time...

[MENTION=6824549]Allek84[/MENTION]

U r not using ur mobile data. You always using WiFi. So there is no surprise if u get over 8 hours SOT. ;)

[MENTION=4333509]Dendis[/MENTION]

That's a good result.. Some of my friends getting 4 hour SOT with their Z2 or even Z3.. So be happy with what u got now... ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] Allek84:
Yes,u are in right.All depends how somebody use the phone.My latest results is without mobile data for surfing the web,tapatalk and etc.

When is usage divided to using mobile data for surfing the web,chat etc I get a a less Sot.

Ussualy when I am on work,mobile data is turned on for 8 hours for sinhronisation,without wifi,but I dont use phone for internet much,mostly for voice calls and that not affect to battery much.

Most spending is when you browse web via 3G and play games.

Using chrome

Guys. How about using chrome? Is it really draining the battery life? And should i use 3rd party browser instead of chrome to get better battery life? I usually using chrome to browse Internet and my experience with 3g data i can get approximately 4 hours and 30 minutes SOT, but if im in wifi only i can get around 5-6 hours SOT. Need the advice. Thx guys
[Xperia Z2 General] Allek84:
Browsing the web is most spent for battery.If you mean that chrome spend more battery than he should you should try CM Browser,Dolphin,Mozilla,UC Browser...

[Xperia Z2 General] o0 Matt 0o:
You said there is a difference between browsing chrome with 3g and Wifi. I am making the assumption your on lollipop, so mobile radio bug is probably you issue. using another browser probably won't make a noticeable difference.

Of course there is a difference.

I will try some battery test again soon :) by the way I found something interesting,after I try it side by side with my brother z1 and my old zl, I found something interesting:

1)the z2 dont heat up as hot as my old zl,(in zl when I do some browsing or game,its back will be very hot,on z2 its just abit warm,the gSam battery monitor said its 40c when I try play some games :)

2)after I try play xperia hd landscape video side by side with my bro z1,I found out the z2 display and color is alot more vibrant and natural than z1

3)the battery is awesome,at least its LOT better than zl :D

4)the most interesting thing I found out is the touch screen,its very responsive,and I found out that the screen can still detect my finger movement even after I try move and swipe my finger abit far against the screen

5)again sorry for my bad English lol :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Shan89:
I don't think so , I'm betting they'll be pretty much the same.

that's what paper says , same as z1 has 3000 vs g2 and couldn't come even close to g2 , software optimization is quiet important.

- m8 also has 120fps video recording

-

it also has dt2w / dt2s + gestures

- it can use vol rockers for camera shooting / recording

- m8/m7 both have auto sleep ( won't shut the screen as long as phone is your hands )

- I think Sony actually has the worst software updates. Did you forget all the issues with z / z1? Z1 still has buggy kit Kat.

For start m7 had kit Kat back in November z1 just got it + every update came faster on HTC then any other OEM ( not counting nexus ) without issues. Did you also notice HTC changes with every update system dramatically compare sense 4/5/6 while Sony's ui is quiet the same.

you're delusional , HTC one X has more development on xda from Verizon then z/z1 combined in global don't even look at global HTC one x development or even worse don't even go in m7 development.

I'm blaming Sony's retarded bootloader about this mostly.
[Xperia Z2 General] TheKingOfPain:
Great battery life. Now immagine this baby rooted with Xposed installed, Greenify and its experimental features activated (GCM push).
[Xperia Z2 General] vlawrence0324:
Good battery stats for M8. I think Z2 is more than enough battery based on my usage but that's me. I really like the glass and waterproofing plus camera
[Xperia Z2 General] plonkersaurus:
I'm not sure you can compare a volume rocker with a two stage dedicated camera button in the right place.

The auto sleep function isn't the same at all, it just uses accelerometer to check the orientation of the phone and increases or decreases the screen timeout.

The Z1 may have buggy KitKat but its virtually the Z2 software, the only differences between the flagships of the last year is the hardware not the software (post updates) at least this is what I feel Sony is trying to provide.

I'm not sure the fact that HTC feeds the need to redesign their UI every sense version is a pro. Either way it's clear you're quite a fan of the M8
[Xperia Z2 General] Shan89:
Loving the waterproof myself , especially now that z2 has ips + stereo it's a dream come true.

Yes but both of these 2 do pretty much the same job , besides z2 nor m8 have ois so I'd rather use onscreen shutter to avoid the blur.

And yes I like HTC but I like Sony as well and I had more Sony phones then HTC , the moment I stopped buying Sony phones is after ARC cuz since then Sony was nothing but fail and z2 is the device I want now so I'm not getting m8 nor z2 cuz I like them both equally with exception of xda development on HTC is much better but I wanna rest from flashing so I'm waiting to see which device will be cheaper when they arrive in my country and price will be deciding factor.

Never the less both devices are true fllagships and imo only personal preference will be deciding btw the 2 while I can't say for s5 it's worth while flagship nor even comparable vs these 2 ...simply it's just cheap quality.
[Xperia Z2 General] debrandman:
Can anyone provide us some Z2 GSam battery monitor stats?
[Xperia Z2 General] plonkersaurus:
I don't think volume rocker and a dedicated two stage shutter do pretty much the same job. And as I wrote in my post it was if people care about such things. If you care about being able to focus then take the photo then the dedicated shutter is important, it will behave like a real camera. Also trying to use volume buttons halfway up the phone isn't a solution, my current phone (Xperia Z) has this and it's horrible to try and use.

Apart from that, I agree the M8 is an attractive phone but the Sony seems to do everything bigger and better than the M8. If the M9 came out next year with 20mp camera, 4K recording, waterproof, noise cancelling earphones, 5.2 inch screen and stylus mode I think you would say it's a worthwhile upgrade to the current phone. Except the Z2 does this now. I like the M8 design though.
