Man whatcha sayin? 5 hours DOT with nearly 30% battery left and u still wanna explain him battery is whack? It's the best battery on 5.1.1 which ever exists.

I have days where 7-8 hours DOT is achieved easily.

Z3 Compact, Slim Rom 4.9 (Stock based Rom), Root, Greenify.

Without Root and stock Rom it's nearly the same, maybe there is 30 minutes less DOT.

Don't believe everything you hear unless you've tested it by yourself
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
I have Z1c, Z5c and S6. I'm not just hear from others but I'm a real Z5c user owned it a couple of months. Somehow I have mobile active bug for unknown reason so my battery won't be as good as expectation and everyone have different setup and usage too.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] coffee black:
No matter what you do, just don't enable ULTRA STAMINA MODE. After deactivating it and rebooting, lots of my icons disappeared including some system apps. The only way to restore the phone.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] raytheblacksmith:
What confuses me the most:

With Z3C I had a habit of putting it into airplane mode before going to sleep. If I charged it full before going to sleep, I'd wake up with 99% charge.

With Z5C I do the same. I wake up with 93%. Same setup, same apps, etc.

What exactly can be causing the difference?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
Many but not all experienced mobile radio active bug on Z5/z5c, wait MM to fix it.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] raytheblacksmith:
I know about the bug's existence but I was sure airplane mode would take care of that... mobile data is off! :/

(down from 83% fo 76% last night)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] civicsr2cool:
what is this bug? i see a notification popping up throughou the day saying accessing sim card, is this it?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mmm286:
My first cycle with MM (better than lollipop)

Enviado desde mi E5823 mediante Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
Not that one but I think Sony MM fixed or nearly fixed it.

I was dirty flashed MM over LP and found the radio active bug was still there and the system was a bit unstable too, I realized factory reset is a must for a big update. Probably the draining not caused by radio active bug but some other stuffs draining in the background bcoz of dirty flashing.

Last night before went slept, I reflashed it again with a full wipe and found only dropped 2% battery after 8hours(on a clean OS, just few apps installed). Still not as impressive as my S6 dropped like only 1% in 24hrs but feel much better and at least the battery finally usable now.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dillalade:
So far doze outperforms stamina at least when I'm asleep.

Didn't lose even 1%. With sync and with wifi on as well.

With stamina I'd lose several percent but that was with most things switched off at night.

Impressed
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Lowtrash:
Opposite experience for me. I lost 10% in 7 hours over night. With stamina I normally didn't loose any battery, or 1-2 % [emoji20]

Skickat från min E5823 via Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dillalade:
Can only assume the use of certain 3rd party apps are causing that.

Facebook and anything on par with this type of resource Intensive type app
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Lowtrash:
Probably true, tho I don't have Facebook installed but there are other apps who do the same I guess.

Have the exact same apps installed as before, or actually less apps. So I reckon stamina took care of them but doze doesn't.

Skickat från min E5823 via Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] E5823:
Another user in a different thread claimed wifi wouldn't stay on with doze, he said wifi would turn off with screen off even if set to be always on and he would not have any notifications with screen off. Not your experience?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dillalade:
That's probably true of how doze works.

I was asleep so unsure how WiFi behaved however it was enabled as was sync.

Thanks for the info, I just got the notification for the update to MM.

My tablet updated to MM a few months ago and it seems the battery drains more in standby now that it's on MM so was a little worried about the z5

I'll wait a week or two before updating (if I can resist clicking the update notification), I want to see if there are bugs
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TempleZhou:
same problem

I have the same problem, do you find any solution?

---------- Post added at 05:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 AM ----------

I have the same problem, :(
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ktbd:
Fix?

Try downloading the app called Doze, as well as you let the in-built Doze work its wonders - my z5c doesnt even lose 1% during the night after I did this :)

Also, you can enable Developer, and scroll all the way down to Inactive Apps, and there you can manually turn off/on apps you dont frequently use (they wont turn themselves on again unless you manually use that particular app). That is atleast how I understood it. :)

Copy and paste this in google, and you'll find an article on greenbot about it: how doze and app standby finally fixed android battery life in marshmallow greenbot

Hope this helps :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TempleZhou:
do you unlock the bootloader?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ktbd:
Nah, no rooting, no bootloader, not anything. Just head on in to google playstore, download Doze and let it run, then enable developer options on your device ---> scroll down and hit Inactive Apps ---> manually turn off the apps you dont use frequently (this will turn off the app until you use the app again. Only thing is, you have to manually turn it off again in Inactive Apps once you have used it to turn it off again so it doesn't try and wake itself up again)

This worked wonders for me atleast, batterytime DURING usage on the other hand...well...i'm not impressed :/
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ctap001:
Found these:

http://www.androidcentral.com/third-party-doze-apps-and-what-you-need-know

http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...ilable-google-play-store-third-party-app.html

These apps seem superfluous to me. I can go hours without losing a single percent if I just let my phone sit here, and that is from just letting MM do its thing without me having a potential security problem installed in my phone.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ktbd:
I proposed downloading Doze because the in-built in MM did not help them sufficiently. And neither did it with me, however, once I d/l Doze and let it run (aka shutting down dataflow, much the same as STAMINA-mode did, everything became all peachy :)

Also, missing a few notifications on apps I rarely use is not my biggest concern.

But by just installing apps you have a potential security problem, maybe a bit more so through a VPN? (I really dont know, my techsavvy isn't exactly something I brag about) Anyhow, nothing I really worry about - it fixes what I needed it to fix, and I reckon it will do the same for those with the same batterydrain-problems like I had during the night :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ctap001:
That's my point though. Are third-party apps even necessary? At the rate I'm getting with my normal use (for standby) I don't think routing all my data to a third-party for an insignificant increase in battery life is worth it.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ktbd:
I'm on board with you on that, for sure :) It's just that they removed STAMINA from MM, atleast until an update later on - and Doze does the same thing as STAMINA. However, as you said, you don't think it is worth it - so my bet is that you won't download it. For those who wanted that tiny amount of better battery life, it may be worth it :)

Now, if only Sony would allow us shutter speed control and total manual control over that camera, I'd be a happy sexy chap.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TempleZhou:
do you flashed the androPlus kernel??
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] DrYnternet:
Battery life is the best I've ever had on an Android Phone. 2 day usage (4-5 SOT). No special modification or anything. Just install a few apps and disable the rest.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] civicsr2cool:
Still averaging 6-7 hours, not bad! I really don't want to keep this phone for more than a few months without being able to swap the battery once it's life is over though. I know I'll be averaging 2-3 hrs soon.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thedosbox:
FWIW, the folks in the Nexus 5 forum have been pointing to a possible wi-fi bug draining the battery:

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/guys-call-wifi-battery-drain-6-0-t3219870

The fix (for me at least) was to go into location settings and select "Device only" mode. This forces the phone to use GPS only to determine location.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] BlackArtsInc:
For me it's like this so far (2 weeks). Check the average times on the bottom of the screenshot!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] wild_thing:
6% loss in airplane mode during night

Same here. My setup is MM, AndroPlus Kernel, rooted, running greenify, all suspiscious apps hibernated.

Airplane mode for 9h loses approx 6% battery. So much worse than the Z3C.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] raytheblacksmith:
By now it "settled down". I had an update of something yesterday that also made it much more smooth (Google services I'm guessing). With Airplane mode it now drops from 100% to 98-99% overnight.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] wild_thing:
Thanks for that info. I'll train my patience as this didn't (yet) happen to my phone. In between I did a factory reset, left the virgin phone overnight in airplane mode. Same result, 6% battery loss in 9h. No apps installed, not even signed in with my google account.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Momogs:
I'm on MM 32.1.A.1.185 and with Greenify, I am much happier with the battery life. I get through a day easily without having to worry about running out of juice. I don't think the phone will ever get close to the two days that were claimed prior to its release. I charge my phone overnight, so I am not worried about the discharge levels overnight.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] 4ty-phive:
I think the battery life has been pretty stellar. Albeit, my usage is lite to moderate (at best). Also, I just saw this little nugget on xperiablog today (link)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] MatMew:
Battery life on this device is unbelievable. I couldn't use the battery fast enough if I tried. videos/photos/uploads/wifi/calls all damn day.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ksc6000:
So far not bad. My 3rd day with the phone.

I got 1 day 9 hours off the charger with 4 and 1/2 hours of screen time, mostly mobile radio use, with some WiFi. 26% battery left.

The screen time was probably 60% whatsapp, and the rest browsing the web, facebook (through browser), reddit.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ~Rob:
My battery life was amazing until I upgraded to Marshmallow. Now I'm getting around 14 hours if I'm lucky. I'm hoping I get the minor update others are reporting soon to see if that solves it.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] civicsr2cool:
I don't know how y'all do it. My phone is about two months old now and I'm getting 4.5-5 hours tops consistently.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] webwude:
After upgrade to MM the battery life has significantly decreased.

Before I almost got two days, now it is one, if I am lucky. I already deativated location history and auto sync, but it seems that especially after wake out of doze something keeps the phone active.

Example: when I wake up and check the time on the phone, one hour later there is a drop of almost 5% even though I did not use the phone.

With LL I did not have this kind of drops... see the screenshot attached - between 6a.m. and 8a.m.

Honestly I am running out of ideas...

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] kasimodem:
Hello,

Battery on the Z5C under Marshmallow is quite good, I can keep it for 48 hours.

I had a strange problem with my battery recently but manage to solve it :

My Z5C was loosing 50% battery life during night without touching it and normal behaviour during day while I was using it. The battery monitor did not show a particular app consuming more than others.

3 things to check :

- 3G/4G signal : if my home signal was bad, that could explain battery problem during night because the 4G chip would have to consume more to keep good reception. But no, my signal is good during day at work and good too during night at home, so it's not that.

- Wifi : same problem, if my home wifi hub was too far from phone, it could consume more, but no, wifi hub is close at home at night and at work during day.

- Bluetooth : here was the problem for me, I wear a Polar smartband that sync with the phone. During day I have my phone in my pocket, so very close, but at night, I left the phone in living room so the bluetooth chip has to consume lot more to keep syncing with the smartband I wear in bed. I disabled bluetooth for one night to test and yes, I only loose 5% battery life. So solution would be to turn off bluetooth at night or take the phone in the room with me for night.

Conclusion is that battery problems are generally due to one or two bad app behavior, but if it's not, then it's hardware and you have to check how are your strengh signals ;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Mathman85:
I think that allowing wifi location scanning at any time is what's sucking down battery for me since Marshmallow. I turned it off a couple days ago and have noticed quite an improvement in battery life. When that's on, even when I turn wifi off, the battery chart shows wifi as always on, so I'm wondering if it's always scanning for location. Android OS was always my #1 battery drain when it was on...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dillalade:
A thought on that...

Iffff on lollipop you were accustomed to using "stamina clock" then that could explain the difference in battery behaviour for when checking the time etc.

I have no such failing on battery performance myself on MM. Can't complain.

Separate note, what is the best app to determine what app or what sensor is causing drainage. I used to use betterbatterystats, but think that's for root only now (might be wrong.) Any tried and tested suggestions please [emoji111]
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Mathman85:
<Never mind>
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Superrman:
wow my LP , lose 4% +-1 over night with stamina mode (not air plane mode i wanna see calls) but wifi and data are off

one of the reason i still didnt update to MM

i guess with airplane may batt lose will be about 1% over 8-9h
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] BlackArtsInc:
Marshmallow kinda sucks for me cos of this mainly. Adsprpcb drains my battery a bit more than it should!

I tried deleting media storage data and rebooting but didn't help. It came back. Any way to get rid of this?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dillalade:
If you use Google play music. Uninstall it, see if that's the cause. Worth a try

Caution! Like many others, I purchased two fire phones via eBay from a seller named qualitycellz for $120 each. The phones were sealed in the original retail boxes. Upon registering the phones to my Amazon account I did not receive the additional years of prime. I reached out to Amazon and received the following response last night. I contacted the seller on eBay for a refund and have not yet received a response after two days.

Amazon Response:

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear you haven't receive the Prime membership associated with Fire Phones you purchased.

I'd like to inform that Amazon and AT&T are no longer selling the Fire Phone.

Only purchases made from Amazon or AT&T authorized resellers were eligible for the limited time offer of a full year of Prime with the purchase of a Fire Phone.

Third-party sellers are not authorized to make this offer in connection with the sale of the device.

Further, I checked your account and see that the Fire Phones (XXXX and XXXX) was purchased from a third-party seller.

Since you purchased the Fire Phone from third-party seller, your device is not eligible for free Prime Membership.

If the seller (from you purchased) listed the device with free prime membership, please contact them directly as they listed the promotion.

If they aren't able to help you with this, you can return the Phone to them for full refund.

If you've anymore queries, you can always contact us via email or phone by visiting the below link and we'll help you right away.

If the reseller mentioned prime in listing you can return, eBay will even sort this out for you. If prime wasn't mentioned I think your knackered. Sorry.
[Amazon Fire Phone] MPbn80:
I had bought them from the same seller and did receive the free year of prime with both phones. Once Amazon stopped selling the phone, the free prime offer may have gone with it.
[Amazon Fire Phone] danbriggs:
Yes, the auction title and description clearly stated that prime was included. In addition, a label was applied to the packaging for each phone that included instructions for registering the phone to receive one year of prime. I have notified eBay and the seller and initiated a refund/return request.
[Amazon Fire Phone] jack9955:
Thousands including me, received prime with Fire Phones purchased from qualitycellz after Amazon and AT&T stopped selling the Fire Phone. Although the seller will have to issue you a refund, I think Amazon is responsible for you not receiving prime on your two phone.
[Amazon Fire Phone] danbriggs:
I agree! I wanted to make people aware of Amazon's policy change as there are still many current eBay auctions promising prime.
[Amazon Fire Phone] elbee222:
Don't know for sure, but eBay feedback mentioned that Amazon imposed a cut off date of 9/30/2015 for honoring Prime as a result of Fire Phones purchased from third-party sellers.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
According to amazon's response NO one other than themselves or at&t has the ability to sell the phone with prime bundled. But that got to be wrong. Ive seen it offered on multiple sites for minths now. Surely we wouldve heard something before today.

Also, given amazons great customer service, Im surprised they didnt just give you a year regardless.
[Amazon Fire Phone] danbriggs:
I registered them on 9/29 and did not receive prime.
[Amazon Fire Phone] elbee222:
I'm really sorry for you. That means the info on eBay feedback was incorrect. Qualitycellz has a really bad problem on their hands and will have to deal with many complaints. I hope for your sake that once you complain you get a full refund (and maybe also get to keep the phone).
[Amazon Fire Phone] leafbelly:
Duped as well

Like you, I also fell for this trap, purchasing two of the phones from qualitycellz.

And, not only am I stuck without the 2 years of Prime I thought I had, one of my phones arrived completely broken. The back was ripped off, showing the guts of the phone, and the screen was warped. Oh, and it did not power on, even after charging. I've contacted the seller, but haven't heard back yet.

I have been an eBay customer for over 10 years, and though I've had a few minor issues in the past, I've never encountered anything of this magnitude. The feedback system is supposed to protect the buyer; but in this case, it was no help, as I bought the phone before the "Prime expiration date" (Sept. 30) and tried to activate it afterwards (Oct. 1). And, the seller conveniently failed to mention the offer expired.

I'm usually over over-cautious about these "great" deals on eBay, but they got me this time.

Please be warned.
[Amazon Fire Phone] cd2022:
I purchased from the same seller, I received, unlocked and registered with Amazon and get my 1 year on 9/28. Did you unlock it or you went with AT&T?
