Also disappointed by battery life. I have gone through at least 5 or 6 charge cycles, and at the end of the day the battery is very low, with having done nothing more than what I did with the Z1c.

I installed GSAM battery monitor to see what is going on.

I see that a lot of you that are complaining about the battery life, are affected by the infamous "mobile radio active bug" present on some device with lollipop. You have to wait for 6.0 to come out that will solve this problem, or wait for root so you can install the mobile radio active module in xposed that partially fix the problem......
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
In my experience, after 10 or so cycles battery seems to have improved a lot. Charged to 100% at midnight, I've been on wifi and screen on for almost 2h and it's at 72% since 10am (it's 1pm). I also created an event in Smart connect, deactivating the wifi from 1am to 7am since stamina ignores some apps that keep the wifi on.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] darthbane7:
I will post some Screenshots I made two days before. Extreme talking time and some moderate Screen o time.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Proday:
Yeah, I had something like that in start, but now I have problem with chrome (mby last update make problem; and Ive tried chrome beta too), and getting only 5-6h sot; before was ~8 :(
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Echts:
Yeah chrome, and some other apps, seem to get stuck in a loop sometimes heating up the phone more than benchmarking and draining battery like it's free candy. I generally just kill it and restart, that seems to solve it but there is definitively some bug there.

This is my first run after full charge... not too bad!

i will see how it develops, now i am using more and more apps... so i think this will decrease...

I wonder how this phone is almost not affected by poor LTE signal.

(I'm not using WiFi during the day. Just mobile data. I keep WiFi on. Location ON. Google maps location history. Most of the Google Sync. Basically I've only disabled NFC and some Sync options which I don't use, like newstand).

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Fajaka:
Have anyone tried stamina mode from 100% to 0% ? How long it will lasts?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bubimir13:
The same in my case.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
Look at this standby time - incredible!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] faceball:
Do you even have apps installed on your phone? :D

Or how did you do that.....
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] emmanuelkeyz:
Even I have pretty much the same standby time!! I've got loads of apps, I can assure you. I just manage to be in complete control of most of them! I use Greenify and Stamina Mode and disabled some system apps....so yh, when I'm not actively using my phone, that battery literally stands still!!! Yesterday my screen on time was 3hr 25mins after a full days use and I had 50 ish% left
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Ohhdayumm:
Which xperia z do you have I have the z1 and my battery life is not as good? And are you running stock ROM and kernel?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kc1:
Less than one working day, even in stamina mode. So far this morning I've used gmail chrome over WiFi, and had the FM radio on for an hour. Mobile data has been off for the last 5 hours yet I'm already only at 42% and its not even 2pm

Battery life is frankly awful.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Ohhdayumm:
Use a custom ROM it will help or Root your device and underclock it a bit it will improve battery life significantly :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] emmanuelkeyz:
Running full stock. Completely untouched. Xperia z5 Compact

Mind you, I'm about to update to the latest firmware that got released today (in the UK). I'll update on any changes in battery life performance (if any)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Ohhdayumm:
That's really good stats for stock the z5 battery must of been a lot better

now
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kc1:
What custom rom? As far as I know, there aren't any yet (3pm and 36%)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
Stamina mode :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kc1:
Difficult to tell given the abusive amount of advertising, but as far as i can tell, We're in the Z5 Compact forum, which is the phone I'm talking about.

Now 15:55 and 25%
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] gaijing:
2 things that can kill your battery (that killed mine though) :

- the "Download Music Info" service that never stops once activated from the Music app with a huge amount of music files ... even if you try to kill it or after rebooting the device.

- the "Photo Analysis" service (face recognition I think) that once activated also eats a big amount of battery.

My solution : factory reset and never activate these again.

Now, my battery life is almost a day and a half.

But a new firmware has been released today (at least in France) : 32.0.A.6.152.

I can't find a changelog anywhere...Hopefully it fixes these bugs...

Gonna try it anyway.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Jiyeon90:
Almost 4 days with 3h SOT and 2h of loud music playback, can't complain
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Ohhdayumm:
Try to root your phone? And under clock it when you don't need it to be at full speed it will help
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dinitro:
Coming from a z1c was expecting similar or lower battery life but it surpassed it. Can't wait for root on LB to fiddle with the governors.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] BigHulkDiesel:
My battery has settled in very nicely! This is just as good as the BlackBerry Passport!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] monoespacial:
Could you elaborate on which apps you've disabled?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] BigHulkDiesel:
Battery just gets better each day, the harder you use it the better it performs. Mine just got 3 hours screen time with 50% after 13 hours use.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] emmanuelkeyz:
These are the apps I have manually disabled from the apps menu within settings. There are other apps that I hibernate using greenify.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] charliebigpot:
maybe you peeps can include whether you are comparing battery life to kk or lp, especially when comparing to the z3c?

On my z3c I had amazing battery life on kk, bad battery life on lp..
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
Finally someone who understands.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] cingolat:
Better wait marshmallow 6.0 before make comparison about battery life. There is a WELL-KNOWN bug in lollipop about "mobile radio active" and Google said that will fix in the upcoming 6.0.

A lots of WhatsApp & Spotify actually. Also 10 min of calls

After took screenshot, checked fw version and stamina settings, and wrote entire post, battery dropped to 81%.

Screen activity reached 1.45 while posting and editing... Battery still 81%
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] b_rnd:
may have found a reason for battery issue

so i am using my z5c now for a week.

first day with a full charge it went dead after ten hours.

second day i squeezed 12 hours out of the battery.

read a lot online. called support. did a factory reset. and so on.

now the issue i had (and i guess a lot have the same one especially within the first days) was that i put my sd card with thousands of pictures on it into the z5.

now there is this little preinstalled app called movie creator.

without any okay from the user it searches through all of your pictures in the background.

it did not even show up in the battery stats.

my guess is that the process called "photo analyzer service" does scavenge through your data.

not okay from sony to do so without asking for permission to do so.

battery life is significantly better now. still 45% after 12 hours and heavy camera use for about twenty minutes.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Ohhdayumm:
Disable the app in the settings so it won't be running
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] b_rnd:
i did. also uninstalled movie creator. it works only after tapping yourself into developer mode. :)

but as i said. you are not asked and it does not show up in battery usage stats. so no wonder why people are unhappy about the battery life. its not so unusual to transfer your sd card from your old phone to your new one with all the pictures on it.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Ohhdayumm:
Yea ahaha I'm guessing your battery life is better now ? Just wondering how much sot do you get I'm using a z1 and maybe looking to upgrade:)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] epic20:
Battery is v. good, holds for 3 days (calls, sms, 2 gmail accounts). For exapmple, Huawei P8 holds just 1 day.

my battery life

Hi ! I have the xperia Z5c now for 2 weeks and at the begins the phone overheating and the phone died after 3 hours of sot (checking mail, facebook and other social network) so i have call the support and he sent me a new. now it's better but the phone heat sometimes for nothing and the battery died after 4 hours of sot. i don't know what to do. i have check the settings disable some app but nothing ...

sorry for my english
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Ohhdayumm:
Root it and under clock your CPU?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheQuent1:
It's sad to do that on a new phone ... i have check some forum and seen some video but nobody have this problem. it's sad for a phone with an high price
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] chicagoepicuser:
video recording is a mess

There's a 5-10 second delay between pushing record, and recording beginning. Also, after you stop it, there's ~30s delay while the "thinking" icon shows up in the lower right hand side. It's recording during that whole time, by the way. Happens on regular resolution, 4K, with/without image stabilization, I've tried every option. And the phone gets pretty hot with all of it.

Basically video recording is absolutely unusable for me. On firmware 32.0.A.6.152.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Fooshi:
First thing I noticed with my Z5 Co was the disturbing battery drain in during sleep. Over night, the phone just being in my pocket, etc., after a few hours, the battery would drain 10-15%, whereas my old Z3 Co when it was completely new only lost about 1-2% over the same time span. Damn you, SD810. :(
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Ohhdayumm:
True it does suck maybe root it and try use greenify and amplify? I've heard great stats from using those two programs
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ACA7:
Hey Fooshi. Is this on the new Camera 2.0 app or the old one. People are reporting improvements with that one on many areas. Curious to see if this is fixed on 2.0.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] tania247260:
camera 2.0 is well organized and fast
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] zakiwashi:
I shall chip in. Stamina mode is cack. All it means is that my wifi disconnects at screen off and takes an age to reconnect when i switch the screen on. Its quicker to leave stamina mode off and turn off wifi before screen off. Also if having the phone run at full speed instead of half power means charging every 2 days instead of 3 then so be it.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Bartek20:
I really can't complain about battery life. I've just hit 2 days with over 6 hours of screen on time. A lot of browsing, map navigation and Quiz gaming, messaging and around hour of calls. I think it is really good battery life.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rolo143:
I recently began to notice that the phone gets hot and battery drains faster while playing games. If I don't use it too much, it can last a day but that's it. If I want it to last 2 days, as it was supposed to last, I have to not use the phone at all. It's a shame. The first 2 days, the battery life was better.

Does someone knows if charging the phone to 100 and then discharging it will improve battery life?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheQuent1:
Hi ! I aproximatly have the same problem and i try to discharging completly the phone but it doesn't help. i search a solution too but nothing i have found work so now i wait for marshmallow ^^
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
Try a charge cycle without STAMINA mode
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Elfeno:
Hi everyone, I recently bought a Z5C (1 week) and I'm so disapointed with the battery life... If I only check messages, send text or do short browsing my battery seems good, but everytime I play some 2D game, phone starts to heat a lot and battery drain is very quick. It performs very nice in standby but when i use it battery is litteraly melting... Can you take a look at theses screenshots and help me to understand what's wrong/how can I manage to get better battery life. Thanks :)

movie creator and photo analyzer service

i had the same issues and disappointment when i first got my z5 compact.

only after a week i found out that there is a process called image analyzer service which is hidden from the battery stats page. what it does is it goes through all your images and analyses them to feed the movie creator.

so if you put a sd card in which is full of pictures from your last phone it will analyze all of them.

a notification might pop up every now and then telling you that a new movie is ready.

you never asked for that.

you never gave permission to let your pictures being analyzed.

but obviously sony thinks that it's cool.

kill and disable the analyzer service or wait till all your images are being worked through.

hope that helped a bit

cheers
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Elfeno:
Thanks for your advices ! I've disabled photo analyzer and auto sync, it seems to improve battery life a bit but not as what I expect. What is the "standard" screen on-time for you guys ? I also read in other forums that when you buy a new phone it can take time to "calibrate" the battery and "unleash" the true battery performance. Is it true ?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
I'd say for me it's about 5-6 hours on average.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ninestarkoko:
same for me with general use (not gaming). 5.30h screen on time, during two days . I'm quite satisfied but i cannot make a comparison with Z3c as i don't own it

Pretty solid. 10h would be easily reachable, considering that my Phone was only charged to ~90%.

Z3c or z5c?

Hello i want to ask something and I'm sorry if my english is bad️. I got confuse to choose Sony z compact phone between z3c and z5c,when z5c announced by sony i hear alot about overheating in Android forum and news. But I've read in xda the conclusion is normal the z5c got warm,but i still confuse about battery who has last longer between those phone.

Z5c is got more features such better camera ,better in processing and rendering graphics and fingerprint. Now I'm using iPhone 5s 32gb almost perfect for me at performance and battery,i want upgrade battery what i carry, but z3 is almost rare the black color available in my country. Is z3c have very longer battery life tham z5c?

So give your opinion what should buy z3c or z5c?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
It's a bit hard to speak it clear. They all got their own advantages but on average Z5c better(though with only slightly lead). Z3c and Z5c got better battery performance compared to tiny 1560mAh IP5s but since android does drain out more power because of the powerful multi-tasking and feature set, don't think to add double battery life in reality, getting extra 40% juices is achievable.

IP5s still got an above average camera but lack of 4K video recording and future proof, 1GB ram not enough to run newer OS ver. Z3c camera worse than both IP5s and Z5c, you got a huge camera downgrade. It would be a nightmare to you since you have been used the reputation IP5s camera.

Z3c only got damn good battery back to the 4.4.4, in 5.0.2/5.1.1 Sony ruined the Z3c battery(I think bcoz they need to sell Z5c? lol), it should be still better than Z5c but the gap isn't big now. If you are willing to stick with 4.4.4 forever, Z3c your best bet.

Z5c battery is about the same with my Z1c, normal usage I hardly find their different. Z5c comes with better stereo speaker, noticeably better screen, real fast speed, no trouble USB flag port like Z1c/Z3c and future proof to Android 7.0. I'll call the camera focus ability at IP5s level, not up to IP6/6s standard, but still 3x faster than stupid Z1c/Z3c. Photo quality the current build isn't mature at low-light/indoor(worse than IP5s safe to say that, I've got a friend who is using IP5s), outdoor is good. They should fix the camera in 6.0 so no worry, battery life will improve on the upcoming 6.0 too. The only problem is a bit hot during installation apps and video recording.

If you want a super cool temp phone with little better battery over Z5c, don't care about camera at all or Android 7.0 upgrade. I think I'll recommend Z3c.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kukuh05:
Thank u very much to spent your time to answer my question with along explanation. Yes I do care about camera and upgradeable os,but i care a lot about battery ehehe. Do you have one z5c?and do you have a friends who have Lenovo k900? I ever had that one,is super duper hot?️ because the back case is aluminum or steel kind of.

What i want to ask is z5c hotter than Lenovo k900 or cooler...

Anyone had ever experienced the hot of k900?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
I've got Z1c, Z5c and S6 at this time. Lenovo k900 is running x86 Atom which is a special case, yup it should be crazy hot with aluminum body.

I was looking forward Z3c before Z5c out, did spend much time to read Z3c threads. Just like I said it, Z3c got excellent battery life only run 4.4.4, it became worse on Lollipop you found tons of discussion on net, many roll back to older rom. End up you should ask yourself whether you like to stick with KitKat.

The battery life will only getting better when 6.0 Marshmallow comes out on Z5c and Sony working on more optimizing. If you do only care battery should not ask here bcoz no dobut Z3c still got somewhat better battery advantage. Z3c camera is bad enough thinks it only IP4s, if you accept that.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ernesarevalo:
My z5c battery life goes around 1 day only if i use it for whatsapp, facebook, youtube and common apps. But games drain my battery. In 15 mins playing my phone already used between 25% and 30% of the battery. Anyone else has this problem?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] b_rnd:
probably depends on the game. games in general suck out a lot of juice. i think i remember a ten percent battery drain during half an hour playtime.

i have the problem right now that my wifi won't turn off even if i uncheck the box in advanced wifi settings. only after a reboot its off. i guess its just another bug.

even when i have stamina on and prevent mobile data and wifi during screen off. it always shows on in the battery stats.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
Games are even more optimized for iOS devices. I don't play much games if yes I would get an Ipod touch 6 just for cheap.

I don't have the wifi bug I think, try reflash your rom? but the latest .200 rom seems to be battery draining during standby/idle, there should be somethings wrong probably 3G/4G/wifi/bt of common lollipop radio bug.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kukuh05:
Finally i made my decision, and yesterday i received my z5c. Recording 4k video this phone survive 9:57 minutes i think will survive 10mnt or more. Now I'm still testing the battery life. I charged at home until 90% from 65% and then i attend lecture, on my way to my campus i charged my phone at my car only got 95% it's very long to get 100% and I unplug the cable and suddenly drop to 93%. I just confuse why 95% to 100% take a long time and last night i want charged from 99% to 100% take very long time too on standby mode no connection on i just checking the phone settings, before it I've been changed in 3 hours.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
All phones take longer to charge the last few % points of the battery. It's a protection mechanism designed to prevent the battery from overcharging.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] drrobo:
My new (US version) Z5C, not so impressed with battery life so far. This was with stamina mode on too... My Z3C used to give me a couple days at least, same exact usage, apps and setup. Hmm.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
Your cell standby spend 29%. I experienced battery draining too probably bcoz of some google wakelock bugs on my device or lollipop radio active bug. The phone during normal use got identical battery life with my Z1c but idle got draining fast.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] martideu:
Happy with the life battery of my Z5c

I come from a Z1c, the battery life was one day, about 2h of screen. I chage to stock room KK .157 and now this one take 3 h. screen and 16 hours total duration.

Now i have a Z5c the same use to Z1c and exactly double duration of the battery,2 days and 12 hours, screen about 5 hours, i thing that is so good. When arrive MM i hope this features was the same or a little more better.:)

Where did you get Camera 2.0? Mine is still 1.0 according to Settings > Apps.

I'm using 32.0.A.6.200. I read somewhere that if I use Xposed, Camera 1.0 will Force Close. So that's why I haven't installed Greenify.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] civicsr2cool:
I noticed this as well when I flashed .200, 2.0 is updated in the what's new app but wasn't an option when I tried out .200

As for battery life, I get about 6 hours. This is the first phone I've bought that I can't carry extra batteries for so I've really got to do some thinking on how to adapt qi charging.

On a side note, I can't even get xposed to flash without s bootloop so camera FC's are something I dream of lol
