Seems fine to me. GPS with full bright and still 4.5 hours sot
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cirra92:
I would agree with previous post that this is actually good, considering you had 3G all the time + full brightness for half of the charge. As far as I observed, battery consumption is doubled on full brightness.

Anyway this is my first charge on latest .232, and its comparable to KK. 40% brightness, wi-fi used only when screen was on. During deep sleep I have lost 0%, aproximately 7 hours of deep sleep, that was a bit weird, but I don't complain :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
I'm on newest version now too and it does look better but I'll know for sure after a few days. My phone is still reporting high mobile radio active times but since kitkat didn't show this I've no idea if that's normal. Once I've got a full days typical usage I'll post my stats. I find kitkat looks tired and definitely want to upgrade. But so far all versions of lollipop have been 1.5 to 4x worse battery drain when not using the phone. Here's hoping this one is better.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
To have just 15 percent left after one day with not that much usage is somewhat worrying. 60 percent of that happened when phone wasn't being used. This seems poor. Latest version doesn't seem to have improved matters so far. I'll give it time to see how it settles down.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] novahob:
I always clear the app and system cache after updates. System cache is hold Power and Volume Up together until you get three vibrates. Phone switches off and then switch back on. Not sure if the system does this when updating but I always do it.

My battery sucks as well. I just had 1h time on screen and I already lost 20% battery. Not really heavy use, no video or navigation :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Allkann:
I lost 40% Battery after 4 hours! It says the battery might last till tomorrow 23pm but that is bull****. There is something wrong with my phone. Would you recommend a factory reboot?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
Today was at 61 percent by 10pm which isn't too bad. Hadn't used it that much but overall drain was 2 percent per hour. I have it synced by Bluetooth to smart watch and Google fit tracking my steps so this is reasonable. My average estimated screen on time via gsam battery monitor is 3 hours 20 mins. That's one hour less than I was getting in kitkat with same features in use. But it had improved massively over yesterday. Oddly when I loaded movie creator and album to show off holiday photos to friends my battery usage improved significantly from then on. There's still a lot of mobile data active time. Google services comes up as main offender. However when I cleared the system cache as recommended on here I immediately got a new software update notification and now have .232. Before this I was on .230. Let's hope the update is better. If you're getting 40 percent loss in 4 hours a factory reset will probably help. Be sure to back up anything not on Sd card. If you go into storage options you can move all media to Sd card fairly easily.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Allkann:
Hey, I never did a factory reboot. Do I have to use a backup application? Will I keep all my Nova Launcher settings and design?

Thank you for the help
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] najodleglejszy:
factory reset reverts your phone to factory settings, i.e. the state a brand new phone is in.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Allkann:
I know this. I made a bad effort explaining my question. My back up application just provide the options to back up messages, etc. Is there any backup application where I can back up all my apps or do I have to redownload all of them? I am specially concerned about my my keepsafe application.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cirra92:
Do you have root? If you do, Titanium Backup would be the best app to backup your apps+data. However if you do not, unfortunately I don't think there is much to do, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Are you on latest .232? Generally everyone here is satisfied with battery life on it. Try to wipe only cache and Dalvik cache using the method described in a few posts back, that won't delete any of your data, and you might get better battery life.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] snarfington:
It absolutely should be better, but it's about what I get as well, even off a clean flash of the newest version. Very disappointing.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] eespanol:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Metall Boy:
can you share your settings?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cirra92:
This is my last usage. Not much usage through the day 2 and 3 because I was studying, but standby times are great, battery drain was 1% in 4 hours or so when in deep sleep.

Brightness around 40%, wi-fi on only mostly when screen was on, no sync, no GPS, just using usual social apps, browser, and watching some videos through browser. Without stamina mode, but Amplify and Greenify to keep everything in its place.

Best stats since I bought the z3c :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
That's really good. I guess you routed then upgraded? Data seems to be the problem. I accidentally left mobile data off one morning and when I switched it on at 2pm still had 99 percent left. However if data during standby during that time is on it drops to just 87 percent.

I do have to say with this latest version have no horrid surprises with battery life though far from great but the phone feels laggy and if I don't turn off data at night even on stamina mode with WiFi and data only enabled with screen on I get rudely awakened at 2am by a Facebook notification. The phone is on priority interruptions only from known callers. So it's using data when it shouldn't. I'd greenify and amplify but am not routed. Does this need route?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cirra92:
Yes, I have rooted since I bought the phone. I have experimented with LP and KK, and I'm now on latest LP which is .232, debloated version from moly82, its has pretty much stable battery life. You need root for both Greenify and Amplify to work properly, and it would take maybe half an hour to set up everything, not much really.

Well with Data turned on you surely have more drain than Wifi, especially if you have some mad apps installed that like to start working in the background on their own. That's where Amplify helps by blocking alarms/wakelocks (my drain with Data on actually decreased). One thing I've noticed is that Stamina mode has tendency not to work all the time, meaning that I get notifications from social apps for example even though they are not in whitelist, so I can confirm your statement as well.

You just have to try it to see if it helps, but I can confirm :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] eespanol:
Stamina on all the time. WiFi on. GPS off. Greenify installed. That's all. :)

Hi guys!

My second z3c is sim unlocked customized central europe 1, first device branded on VIP-croatia network failed water resistance but i recieved new phone on warranty and they worked perfectly both, only first one failed that most importatn part-to be waterproof..

So my setup on phone is whatsup, viber and opera for browsing in desktop form, especialy facebook. no fb app or messenger, since i recieved new phone, using sony music app at least 2hours a day, sony bluetooth headset connected to my z3c at least 4hours/day.

I use youtube or listen music on it at least 30minute-1h, gmail, yahoo weather sync off( i refresh it every hour-2-3)

Using navigation every 2 days for sure and some other apps( barometer, camera, soundhound, poweramp full version on kitkat only, etc when needed..)

In my opinion its a moderate usage for my device, i even tried system panel app full to monitor my device usage,cpu activity, battery and also to record history trough 1 week. Monitoring is not drainin battery as much as i expected so i give :good:

I also used Sleep better app trough night to monitor my sleep phases, its so accurate on z3c and not so on older device like transformerTF101 or friends htc desire610..

This phone is excelent and i would like to share some screenshots with you but i still got newbie status on forums so i can only tell you, i had 88hours battery life on lolipop.

Have a nice day!

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] burtallicus:
i think .232 drains more than .200. 232 full charged unplugged yesterday around 1AM till morning while i was sleeping did not lose any battery , so 100% at 7AM when i woke up....by the time i reached office at about 8:30Am it dropped to 95% .... so i think there is an issue with the data radio, now at 14:30 PM it has 87% and SOT is 10 minutes, yes , you read right, 10 min SOT 32% of battery.

on .200 on heavier use i got to 0,5% draw per hour, now is almost 1%
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] novahob:
I'm on a UK O2 .200 build and the mobile radio active bug is definitely an issue. Turn mobile data off and I get KK battery life.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Herour:
I really don't know what it is. I updated last week to. 232 and the first days everything was great (did a full wipe). My battery life was nearly like KK. But since yesterday my battery got worse. The first days I got about 2 hours out of 25%, no its 1,5 hour out of 35% with absolutely the same kind of usage. Maybe the mobile radio bug is back or its because of google play services...

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] romcio47:
Radio didn't drain 15% of your battery, its overall USAGE of the battery was 15%. That's totally different data.

It's ok, your battery life is very similar to mine.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
This is insane. Which firmware is this?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] troublecro:
I had similar results,even 10+ hrs(few pages back) with first 5.1

With first patch(.200) it plummeted to barely 8hrs of SOT.

They say that 6.0 preview looks promising.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Nyt_Wolf:
So this is my first complete cycle on the new Marshmallow Concept. To be honest the battery life for me is better than what it was on KitKat. I managed 2 days with 7 hours SOT which is insane!

Don't know whether it's Doze (lost only 2% over night, 8 hours) but the standby time during the day as well has definitely improved. I'm sure it also has something to do with the fact that most if not all of the Sony bloat is gone meaning fewer background processes. Otherwise extremely pleased :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jarayn:
Plummeted to barely 8 hours.

When no-one else has ever got 8 hours before.

I don't know what you do with your phone during that 10 hours but it's clearly not what I do with mine, or you have a magic version.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] troublecro:
They have,many times....this is one.

And mine is here.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ja-ki:
slim but with everything installed as it was to minimal for my taste. I realized that not using greenify gives me somehow 1-2 hours more sot. Got a few apps which stay active during stamina mode, like whatsapp, adaway and gmail, etc. But else I t change anything.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
Installed. 200. Initially worked well with good battery life on day 2. But then it got worse again with barely 4 hours SOT in one day achievable.

Last night despite being on silent mode until 9 was rudely awakened by a notification saying the battery had finished charging at 5am (took 6 hours to charge from 40 percent?) so I unplugged it, disabled all data and battery had dropped already to 90 percent just 5 hours later. Marshmallow can't come soon enough. Til then kitkat is only one I can rely on for consistency. No build of lollipop has given me reliability for over a week and I also hate how the phone feels much hotter. I'm also amazed anyone can get 2 days and 10 hours SOT. The most I've ever had was 8 when brand new. The best I've ever got out of lollipop is 5 hours 30 SOT.

So. How do you download Marshmallow and is it usable yet. Ie. What doesn't work?

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

Have now found link for marshmallow developer concept. Just google it. It's fully working with no Sony bloat ware. None of which I use anyhow. That sounds very promising. Guess what's going on my phone next.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
I've installed marshmallow developer concept. Can't believe how finished it is. The camera, WiFi, even Sony photo album is on and working. Phone feels only luke warm despite downloading and installing 50 apps. This should be good for battery life. It feels finished. Not found any bugs yet or broken things. It installs via flash tool and doesn't require rooting or bootloader unlocking. Works as if it was official Sony. It's missing messaging but hangouts is now default for sms and I use chomp sms anyhow. Looks clean. Only takes 0.8gb to download. Forget the proper version in six months which is almost certainly going to have loads of bloatware. This might just be the best build. Battery stats to follow soon.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jarayn:
Sounds OK, but keyboard is broken eh?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mjnck:
I'm on 23.4.A.1.232, and I think that something is wrong with my battery life. Are these drops normal ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cirra92:
It depends what have you been doing on your phone in that period, I can guess that its normal. For example, my battery drops always from 14% to 9% in just 2-3 minutes (similar to yours) on every single charge during "normal" usage where it usually drops 1% in lets say 5 minutes. Since it happens just from 14% to 9% I think its okay (for my battery).

So is yours probably, if it doesn't happen at any other percentage.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] harold_garcia12:
it depends on the cpu
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
Been using marshmallow development concept for 4 days now. Absolutely everything works so far and the keyboard is fine. Same as lollipop one. Battery life seems very promising and is improving. Gsam reporting estimated 5 hours 20 SOT per charge with Google fit active and Bluetooth to smart watch on. That's on a par with kitkat and 2 hours better than I was getting on lollipop builds.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
Those drops seem excessive initially as fell quickly when not using screen. After 6am more consistent with use.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cirra92:
Has anyone tried to reset/recalibrate battery gauge manually? I know there are apps for that, but I don't have faith in them :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paulmt123:
Android M preview was good for battery life. Never below 40% at the end of a day, usually above 50%. I'm quite tough on my phone with bluetooth always on and data and wifi always on.

Sadly I found problems with the SD card management. The problem being I couldn't actually use SD cards.

Other that this it was close to perfectly working. One or two apps hung for a few seconds for no reason. Battery life was good and there was no wakelock or mobile radio data active issues.

I listen to music, need SD card. I tried a different SD card but same issue. So kitkat it is for now but hang in there, marshmallow looks good for battery life. So long as sony don't over do it on the bloatware.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jarayn:
No issue at all with music on SD card here. Didn't do anything to make it work, just open music and everything is there.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Choriandus:
My phone's battery lose 1% every hour when idle. WiFi, bluetooth, GPS, data, sync, nfc,... Everything is off and stamina and airplane mode on. I'm on stock .232 firmware not rooted. Anyone have this issue? GSam battery doesnt show anything. It should be at least 0.3%/hour. Help! :'(

Is this a lollipop issue?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] okij:
Of course it does: The usage of System (mediaserver) is very high in your case, here it's just 0.1%.

It could be that the scanning of media on SD card (which runs after every reboot) doesn't stop for some reason.

You could try with a different or a freshly formatted SD card (after copying its contents to your PC) to sort it out. After that you can copy the previous contents back and see if System (mediaserver) behaves normally again.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Choriandus:
Thanks for the suggestion. But I don't think it's the reason since in the 3rd picture, the media server just runs for only 2m in the whole time i let the phone idle (12 hour), and the phone was asleep the whole time (held awake 1m 42 sec).

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] rmartinezdl:
I can easily get 2 days if I use it moderately, that is emails, some music on the go, calls and whatsapp, messenger, with stamina mode, extended usage and auto brightness Set to 75%, if I use the camera a lot and videos I get 1 day easily, always stamina mode and extended usage. I have a Z3 Compact tablet so I use that for YouTube movies and feeds.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Choriandus:
Can you guys check the drain rate when the phone idles? My phone loses constantly 1.2% an hour with everything off and airplane mode enabled. I thought it's because of lollipop but after flashing Kitkat (23.0.1.A.5.77), it still lost 10% last night (in 6 hours). Better battery Stat says the phone was in deepsleep 99% of the time. I don't think the battery worn out because it's was very good last week (0.3%/hour).

When i was using the phone, the battery suddenly drops from 25% to 8% then 1%.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] anupampb:
My Z3C is 4 months old & while sleeping battery drops by 1% in 6hrs

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vctrrl:
Does a 0.8% - 1% drop per hour while idling is normal? In airplane mode battery drops 0% while idling (in a period of about 8 hours)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] anupampb:
No ... I don't know how to calibrate battery in Z3C but its a software thing & can be fixed

http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/help/battery-reporting-phone-dying-suddenly-t3095120

All of them notice the draining, battery drops started since lollipop update. They concluded it's a hardware problem and this can only be fixed by changing a new battery. Lollipop somehow damaged the battery so changing ftf, ROMS, kernels... doesn't solve the problem.. After changing the battery, everything went back to normal :eek:

Hi there!

After reading about the battery drain problems I decided to stay with Kitkat 4.4.4 not to update my Z3C to Lollipop.

I'm a heavy user and for me is very important to be able to do 5-6 hours of screen on per day!

I don't know if Android 6.0 is available but I hope it will result in some improvements without battery to get worse!
