Chrome killing battery

I've attached screenshots with full details, but my battery life has not been that great, and I think Chrome is to blame. It's using nearly as much battery as my screen, but less than half my SOT has been in Chrome. My battery is nearly dead after 1 day and less than 4 hours SOT. Check out the screenshots for more details, but I've consistently seen this and am hoping that someone can help.me fix this.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Crewville96:
Chrome is ridiculously high.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] rv1458:
It is for me, but is that true for everyone?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ShadowFlare:
Just posting my battery statistics after the first charge. What's a little weird is that my Cell Standby is the highest even though it is connected to WiFi all the time. Higher than my 5.5 hr SOT even. I'm on 4G.

Spent this Sunday playing with my phone all day, was able to squeeze out 6 hours of SOT with no stamina modes, bluetooth on, and 4G. Is this good?

I would still enjoy the phone a bit more if I was able to reach 7-8 hours of SOT.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ShadowFlare:
I have to say that is better than mine and we both are using 4G. If only you had posted your Battery History Details (my second screenshot), I would have more material to analyse and compare to mine. I'm also without any Stamina mode, even Bluetooth is off.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sharrief:
Batter life not great..yet

The cell standby drain is high because you have a weak cellular signal. Even if you are using WiFi for data, the phone still needs a cell signal to get calls/texts. Since it seems your signal is usually weak (that's why the bar is mostly purple) the phone's cell antenna is using more power to help increase its reception. Only thing you can do about that is move to a new location, buy a repeater, or change carriers :)

I will say that I've had my Z3 Compact for a about a week. And I can only squeeze out about 5hrs of screen on time max. No apps seem to be at issue here, but I do get a lot of wakelocks. Going to hunt those down.[IMG="z3compactbatterystats1"]http://i.imgur.com/OYsERNS.png[/IMG][IMG="z3compactbatterstats2"]http://i.imgur.com/kvZr1Zn.png[/IMG][IMG="z3compactbatterystats3"]http://i.imgur.com/IXEGRog.png[/IMG]
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ShadowFlare:
I guess that really is the case then for me, weak signals.... weak signals everywhere!

And your wakelocks are probably because you have Location Reporting switched ON.

Disable it in Apps List > Google Settings > Location > Google Location Reporting.

You can leave Location History switched ON, I think it is not affecting battery life.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sharrief:
I think I know why there is such a large disparity between the screen on times of some people... those on the lower end maxing out at 5 hours, and some reporting getting at least 6-7 hours, or up to 8.

Here is a key quote from the Engadget Z3 review (which I believe applies to the Z3 Compact as well):

Engadet Sony Xperia Z3 review

This means that when the phone screen is static (not playing video, not playing any animations) it is using much less power than when the screen is being refreshed (such as when scrolling a web page, facebook or twitter).

I performed a less-than-scientific test myself, turning WiFi off, leaving the phone on my pretty static homescreen (only the clock and 4G data icons would animation every so often) and not touching the screen at all. I counted the number of minutes it took to drop a full percentage point (from 25% to 24% in my case), with "medium" brightness. I found that it took 15 full minutes to drop from 25% to 24%. If you were to project this behavior, you could theoretically get 25 hours of screen on time from a full battery.

The technical info from Engadget, and my own experience causes me to believe that those with 6+ hours of screen on time may happen to leave their phone screens on and idle for large parts of the day. Maybe they use the phone as a desk clock, or they don't habitually turn the screen off when not looking at it, or they read long books/articles. In any case, my guess is that we are all experiencing about the battery life performance, and the screen on time is not as representative of usage time as we might have thought...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cschmitt:
Latest battery cycle: 3 days 3 hours, 6 hours screen on time, Stamina mode enabled , Google Now enabled, general texting, browsing, Tapatalk, etc.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] BLAZEDv3:
Here's mine with the battery data.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] phositadc:
Do you have any exception apps to the stamina mode? If you don't have Google Now as an exception, how badly does stamina mode gimp Google Now?

Sent from my D5803
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cschmitt:
No exceptions, Google Now still works well, although there appears to be fewer data points in my location history. Still receive location based navigation reminders and other cards.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Bobb_o:
I'm at 24% no but only with 2h28m screen on time (~25% brightness, auto adjust checked)

I'd be ecstatic with 6 hours.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] BLAZEDv3:
That does not sound right at all. Can you post your battery data, screen where it shows wake times etc. Also, are you in a low reception area?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ShadowFlare:
You're probably on your third day.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] james_d:
Battery life started off great but last week or so bit disappointing. Anyone else noticed it? Just wondered if it was a common rogue app. Eg today my phone had used 20% in 4 hours with barely any screen on time. Previously it would have used less than 10%.

Anyone else using Lux to control auto brightness?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] BLAZEDv3:
I try to stay away from third party apps that fiddle with the sensors of the phone. The stock brightness control is good enough.

I noticed battery drain when using light flow, Lux could be causing the same type of drain.

Sent from my D5803
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ShadowFlare:
Not using Lux, just the built in Auto Brightness +25%

I'm on 2nd charge cycle:

- On 4G

- 2 hr 15 mins SOT

- 2 days 11 hrs 19 mins since last charge

- 44% battery left

It helps if you post screenshots of the battery history like others have done if you need help.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] rv1458:
Some people on the forum are getting some truly awesome battery life. Can someone please help me figure out why Chrome is such a battery hog on my phone?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FANdroid:
Loving this phone so far.

I'm getting well over 2 days battery life with my regular usage. My last was 56 hours with 11% remaining! :D

Edit: This is with wifi and bluetooth always on... usually connected to my Jawbone Up24 and Sony SmartWatch2!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Psycopata:
Hi guys!

Im a iPhone and Android user. At iPhone, when I need to update or to format iOS system, I connect it on iTunes and I start the process. ITunes makes a backup, install the iOS image and run any command on iOS and this one begins to install the new version of the system. The iOS manages all process.

At android, specially Xperia S, The Sony uses the Sony PC Companion software to manage Android devices. Unlike the iTunes, the PC Companion needs that the device is turned off before start to update or format the system. The Android doesn't manage the process.

So, I have a hypothesis: if device needs to be shutdown for PC Companion works, there´s a way to access device data without root access on android! I could access storage of device like a flash drive. And I could change system files, like a configurations file.

Anybody already try do it? Is my hypothesis correct?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Rebekka_Sun:
If I understood you correct. I would say work With a terminal in Linux and install flash tool. Then you have all the acces you need. But your mobile phone needs a root.

[Fire TV General] Peter_SG:
Hi,

i tried to install today Aptoide on my new Fire TV, and it works.

So now i have currently setup Watchever, Napster and Chrome on the Box.

A further effect is, there is an update for the App-Shop from Amazon, which deleted the App Overview and show all apps.

See the attached images.
[Fire TV General] moviecut:
Hey, looks nice! What should i do to get that app overview?
[Fire TV General] _Alex_:
Aptoide updates the Appstore and replaces it with one from a phone.

It's a bad idea if you actually use the Appstore because I've had this installed for 1 hour and I still can't find how to install the apps I own, as the library link just brings you back to the main apps window.
[Fire TV General] Peter_SG:
Hm ok but how you see it works currently for me.

See current image
[Fire TV General] _Alex_:
Sorry for not being clear:

Aptoide works fine.

The modified App menu on the default fire tv launcher looks like your screenshot.

However, the Amazon AppStore is *REALLY* broken after you allow Aptoide to upgrade the Amazon Appstore.

I've since restored the Amazon AppStore from TiBU so no screenies for me...
[Fire TV General] Peter_SG:
Ahhh yes you are right, i had some "Issues" with that, even with some Apps which get "broken" .... but only this one from the Amazon Store.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BladeRunner:
I've seen some Smart View cases being sold for the M8 and the pictures show a Galaxy SViewesque appearance. Is there way to actually enable that for our phones? The magnet in the case would only activate the dot view I would think. Has anyone tried on of these cases?

I'm rooted and would like to tweak the volumes to something acceptable to me. I have tried nearly all vol tweak apps in the play store and nothing really helped. There may have been one that simply overdrived the audio stream and that's it. If something worked for you on the Venue 8 please post!

I am currently running mahdi ROM and was experiencing 2 flickering black lines across the screen. I read on the development forum of someone else experiencing anomalies like this and it was recommended the ROM be updated. I have updated to the latest version build 2.8-bacon-20140924 and kernal 3.4.0 dated 21/9 but the Flickering it still there. Any permanent fix for this that you know of? Unfortunately I can't post on the development forum. Cheers.

Update the kernel to a custom one such as Franco or AK and see if the same problem occurs.

Hello all, has anyone around her used the encryption feature?

Can you share your experience about device performance afterwards? Do you notice any slowdowns?

Thank you..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drreality:
hi there,

I've been using full device and ext sd encryption for couple of weeks now, I can confirm to u that I don't have any noticeable lag :)

Its very nice to know that if u would loose the phone, u rest assured that ur data will be unrecoverable by theft tools

the only downside is that you'll miss out on rooting as u wont be able to root after encryption "you'll brick ur phone , and wont be able to encrypt if rooted :(

very unfortunate as this device is a monster after rooting and some tweaking to the liking.

Moreover, the other downside is that u'll need to have a password all the time, even at home which is slight inconvenience.

In verdict, definitely encrypt if ur ok with no rooting.

Hope that helped ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamra:
Thanks a lot, that's reassuring!

Thanks dude i so lucky to came across your post, as i was in two minds if i should encrypt my Note 3 and im rooted i didn't know root and encrypt bricks the phone. Dude i was so close to pressing encrypt :) dam i would have been screwed..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drreality:
Hi m8,

I'm happy to help, just to let u know, that encryption wouldn't happen of you're rooted.

What will happen is that your phone well sleep for some 30 min then it'll wakeup unencrypted.

The soft bricking happen if you try rooting after encryption
