Buttons

I got my compact about a month ago, I love it

The only annoyance I see is the location of the buttons on the right side, when holding the phone during a call my fingers struggle to find a spot to hold the phone.

I think they should move the power and volume buttons further up

:p
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Dsteppa:
I never had such a problem. In the end it will never be okay for everyone, since we're all different.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] KaOSoFt:
Alright, just reached 1% this morning. Check the attached images for details.

So, details of my analysis:

I didn’t use STAMINA mode. I will do so on my next testing session.

Most connectivity services were enabled all the time: NFC, mobile data and Wi-Fi. Also my preferred data option was LTE first, so take that into account as well. Bluetooth was disabled. I had the Location-based Wi-Fi option, so Wi-Fi would turn off if I wasn’t near any of my saved Wi-Fi locations. I think this is one of those smart options. I like it.

Looks like Facebook applications, it seems no matter which one, don’t do smart push notifications. It is ALWAYS using background data checking. I’ll be sure to disable Facebook on STAMINA mode next time. I use WhatsApp, but WhatsApp looks like it knows how to properly work with Push Notifications. That is, it’s not a battery drainer.

Kind of the same thing for the Swarm application.

Some applications consume data and hence battery only because of some “active” widgets I got on my home screens, like Walkman. I will profile and optimize them accordingly. I pretty much left all the widgets there from stock start up. Only deleted What’s New widget.

You see that the screen is what took most of the battery, yet I find it strange it doesn’t really indicate the applications I was using precisely. I mean, of course the screen was needed so I could see the applications, but I find it weird that, for example, I navigated through the Facebook application for like an hour, yet neither the video watching nor scrolling seemed to have taken a battery hit according to the Battery usage diagnostics. I need to dig deeper.

I did some gaming, but it was a lightweight game, Bubble Blast 2. I will try some more serious gaming later on. I’m setting up my old MyBoy! GBA emulator like I had it on my previous phone. It’s just that I live in another city from before, and now the commuting time is shorter, which was mostly the time when I used it.

Alright, that’s it for battery report.

I will sit down this weekend and try to truly optimize my work flow this time, so next tests are, as much as they can be, more accurate.

I’d wish more people commented. I’m truly offended no reviewers ANYWHERE I’ve read (outside these forums, I mean) have commented on things like the bleeding LED flash, the REAL slippery status of the glass (where they have mentioned it, they make it sound as a minor thing, and that it is NOT) and stuff like that.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mab71:
No, THANK YOU! A very good and detailed review on battery life. I will keep checking in here to follow your findings. Thanks again.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] KaOSoFt:
Hello back.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t quite finish my whole homework. It’s been 2 days, 7 hours of battery running (29% left), I’ll admit most of it the device has been idle, so:

I didn’t fully optimize my workflow.

Haven’t reached 1% yet.

Still, I wanted to report some things I’ve noticed:

Wi-Fi drains your battery like hell. Even with the location-based settings, forget it. It’s better to enable it only for application updates or when you need to download something big. Leave even the weather updates to your mobile network.

Can’t tell for real if 4G (HSPA+)consumes less battery than LTE, to be honest. I’m always on LTE, and it is awesome.

Enable Ultra-STAMINA mode when you go to sleep. It’s a huge saver, and seriously, if you want to sleep, disable interruptions. Probably its activation can be automated with something like IFTTT or Tasker to be enabled at midnight.

Not exactly sure if the Extended standby option of the normal STAMINA mode actually works. Supposedly it disables Mobile and Wi-Fi networks when the screen is off, but whenever I turn it on, the network icons are there immediately, like they’ve never been disabled. At least Wi-Fi icon should take a second or two to appear, instead of being immediately there.

Disabled Lifelog, which was taking a lot of battery after the Screen.

Alright, that’s it for now. Let’s keep walking the path.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Greg2Lu:
On my Z3c the WiFi doesn't drain the battery.. Odd. For the disabling / enabling it's super fast because of the integration of the chip :cool:

For example my SBH-80 connects in one second top or even less when my s4 needs 4 or 5 seconds to do the same. Even on the Z Ultra it takes up to 2 seconds.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] KaOSoFt:
Hmm... well, to me, compared to having Mobile data enabled, Wi-Fi drains the battery more.

Nice to know about the instant connection. My package also came with an SBH20. Gotta try what you said.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mab71:
What's an SBH20?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Greg2Lu:
What, you got a SBH-20 (FYI mab71 it's a Bluetooth Handset ;)) IN your package ? In the french package the isn't even a pair of Sony MH-750 for the headset, it's just a old pair of headphone that came from '90 :D

It's odd about the WiFi / LTE Because the LTE is known to drain more battery than WiFi in most situation. Do you have a good WiFi signal ? Maybe you could try to change the canal on your modem to optimize your signal, if it become stronger it would be better for the phone and then not pumping too much. But 2-3% a night is not so much anyway ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mab71:
****! Mine is the old 90s one
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] j0ff:
I've also come from the g2.had the z3c for over a month now and I do miss a few things. The g2 screen was simply awesome and the led flash light was blinding. The battery is better for me on the z3c, I always have stamina turned on. Unplug at 7 am and by midnight I can still be at 85%. That's with just a bit of usage though. It's also better when I really hammer the battery too (ingress)

Sent from my Sony Xperia Z3 Compact D5803
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Greg2Lu:
For instance, in the Italian Package, there is a MH-750 headset AND a and OTG cable. I'm not jocking at all, I was astonished when i saw this, especially when the price is lower than for the French people !

I've received today the MDR-NC31EM, it's worth the money, really :) (30-35 bucks)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] KaOSoFt:
Yeah, it might be the signal is bad (although it appears full), but in all instances I’ve witnessed, Wi-Fi drains more battery than my LTE.

Going back to STAMINA, I find its behavior unreliable. I enabled the Extended standby, and I made sure to exclude Facebook from the White listed applications to use background data connection, yet I still keep getting notifications from it. Also on the Developer options, in Process Stats, Facebook keeps getting a 100% runtime, mostly from its MqttPushService service.

I think I will still keep STAMINA on all the time, but I find it weird. I will search these forums for other people’s experience with it, otherwise it’d be wise to create a new Thread just to research into this.

By the way, Greg2Lu, no, the SBH-20 didn’t come IN the package. I bought my phone from my country’s online Sony Store. I paid more than USA price for it, but I thought it was normal imports system ripping me off, which isn’t unusual in my country, but I wanted the phone anyways (and the warranty, should I need it and receive it). What happened was that I received three packages with my purchase: Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (White), an SBH-20 headset, and a 5000 mAh CycleEnergy portable charger. The attached invoice mentioned the correct prices for each item. I would have preferred if they had simply sold me the phone for what it was, instead of bundling me with stuff I didn’t need and making me pay for it. The phone box DID come with a set of MH410c, though, but I bet they are crap, and I already got a good headset anyways.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tudork:
Go to settings, data usage, scroll down until you find both facebook and Facebook messenger and untick allow background data. This will stop facebook from updating.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] darkarvan:
dude, just deactivate it for these apps, its a checkbox in the app details. Confirmed working for Life Log, thanks for this tip anyway :D

IMHO, its not an upgrade from G2.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] KaOSoFt:
No, I don’t want to disable background data checking forever, that’s why I set specific rules for STAMINA (only when screen is off), problem is somehow Facebook applications seem to skip that.

I see what you mean. I found another way to disable it through Settings -> Personalization -> Manage notifications.

And yes, it is definitely not an upgrade. I traded screen resolution for more battery (or at least a longer lasting phone), but boy, I couldn’t be happier. A day of full usage, chatting and video and stuff, 18 hours. That’s awesome.

I’m gonna be keeping this baby for a long time.

Click on "without a service plan" it will state they are carrier locked.
[Nexus 6  General] derfnoslen:
No they aren't. There are multiple threads to confirm this. I have a Sprint Nexus 6 and it works on T-Mobile with no problem.
[Nexus 6  General] Purpleclad:
Not true. I have a "Sprint" N6 and popped in my AT&T sim and it works fine.
[Nexus 6  General] vince2398:
Has anyone been able to confirm this if purchased from Amazon?
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
It depends on what batch you got. Only the initial Amazon batches were unlocked. The later Sprint Amazon batches are sim locked AFAIK.
[Nexus 6  General] Mattv111:
I got a Nexus 6 straight from Sprint, and I'm using my Verizon sim. The Verizon sim actually works better. I only have data with my sprint sim I can't send or receive texts or make or receive calls. I get a message cannot validate you account when trying to make a call. Everything works flawlessly with my Verizon sim.

Not to sound like an advertisement but I got my att model from bestbuy sim locked and used Cellunlocker to unlock it.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
as of this moment, onlty att locks the sim. people are speculating if verizon will also do this, but its only att at the moment.
[Nexus 6  General] twig49:
Another nod for Sprint being unlocked. I just put my N6 that I got 2 days after it hit the Sprint shelf on Tmobile and it rings for incoming calls again. Sprint has network issues and I got tired of missing calls and having cust service always start out with "factory reset your phone." My note 3 had the same issue on Sprint. 15 mins for Tmob to setup the account and put the sim in. 0$ and a better plan price to boot.
[Nexus 6  General] Larzzzz82:
my experience with Verizon's version of the Galaxy Nexus left a bad taste in my mouth. I will be very very hard pressed to ever buy a verizon branded phone ever again. they do get my money though. That I don't mind paying for because I have signal everywhere I go and the legacy unlimited data plan.
[Nexus 6  General] JasonJoel:
The carrier locks aren't really a big deal in any case. $20 and you can get it unlocked at any number of cell unlocking sites.

Would rather it not be locked at all, but isn't that big of a deal....
[Nexus 6  General] konaman:
I just paid to get mine unlocked so I can sell my nexus. I really don't like it
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
What you don't like about it?
[Nexus 6  General] 8Fishes:
Probably the paying part to need to unlock it.
[Nexus 6  General] v8dreaming:
As of today, if you are not under contract with the carrier that the phone is locked to, or owe them money due to an EIP, they have to unlock the phone.

http://www.tmonews.com/2015/02/new-carrier-phone-unlock-regulation-active-from-today/
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
The nexus was never locked to begin with unless you had a contract through AT&T, all other versions are unlocked from factory
[Nexus 6  General] v8dreaming:
I'm not sure you read my post correctly, as that's what my post pertained to. Contracts, EIP, or if they bought the phone outright from AT&T etc.
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
it's still wrong information, mine is with a contract through sprint, it's still fully unlocked, I can put any sim in and I'm good to go, t-mobile was the same way, at&t was the only one that did a lock and we still have yet to find out about verizon
[Nexus 6  General] A2CKilla:
AT&T are the only ones that are carrier locked, unless it was purchased outright or paid off, I would really double check with whoever you're buying it from and have them meet you at a sprint store to actually check everything out before you commit

So i think you installed wrong firmware so try to flash original firmware...

You can install any roms from kitkat firmware...so You don't need to downgrade your device to jellybean...

Using CM12 Lollipop ROM and Thunderzap 4.7 kernel. I want to return to stock ROM, so I tried flashing it via both Sony PC Companion repair and Flashtool. However, no matter whether I press Vol Up or Vol Down during the boot, it always enters Recovery. Any way I could access Flashmode? Or am I missing some step I should do before attempting to flash?
[Sony Xperia L] sagar727@gmail.com:
1st you have to read document about flashing properly. Read twice. You must not start phone after switch off it. Just start flashtool on PC. And you have to press volume down button and insert USB cable simultaneously. Don't switch on your phone. It will led your phone into flash mode. Green light will blink once in notification light area.

No, factory data reset will not revert it to android 4.3 or any other previous version, it'll remain 5.0. All your user data such as pics, videos and music and app settings and customisations will be lost, so you'll have to set up your phone from scratch again.
