Day 2 of mine here is what I am getting and I don't think it's good right now.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] SocketMix:
I've gotten to 5h 25min screen on time and I could get it to 6h i think once showing off the phone stops

I'll probably screen shots in the next day or two and my setup

Edit:

As suggested hard resetting the device does help the battery life and fixed my wake lock. I did this without realising the forum post and thought I'd try, this is why I'm getting 5.25 + hours.

I recommend people doing this and as annoying as it is to set the phone up again it MIGHT help.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Samiam27:
Wifi only. Medium Brightness. Light-Heavy usage.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] POLO_i780:
Yep, only phones with the 805 are:

Nexus 6

Galaxy Note 4

Galaxy Note Edge

and Motorola Droid Turbo.

All of them had a mix of great power and great battery life.

I guess this is fw bug? Still on. 170

WiFi even when turned off stays On

bruh this has nothing to do with this thread but how did u add iPhone 6s as your device on yo profile??
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Yolo28:
Mine usually got 5 to 6 hours screen time . Full Time Wifi or Mobile Data . Facebook , Music , Semi Coc . Stamina Mode activated :D . I cant post a screenshot I got error :( need 10 post above to enable it :D
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] dvdmike:
How??
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Yolo28:
hmm. i dont know . im just using it normally with stamina mode on .
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] jplempka:
Do you have smart backlight control off or on? (in display settings)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Yolo28:
No i dont have . My brightness set to 50%
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] jplempka:
Mine prevents the phone from going to sleep. Might be affecting some peoples battery.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] dvdmike:
Playing a podcast on podcast addict stops mine sleeping.

mine is 50% right now.

2hrs screen on.

Bluetooth was on all day auto brightness is off

Stamina is on brightness is below halfway on the slider

Here is my Sony Xperia Z5 Premium screen on time - 5 hours 25 mins.*

I've pushed it to 6 hours.*

My Sony Xperia Z3 does 7 hours.*

So I'm happy overall with the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium*
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] johema:
Hi guys! I got a Z5p and it give me about 3 hours of SOT. I see people here that the Z5p give them about 5 hours.... Can someone help me?

75% brigth auto off

Bluetooth on (I got a gear fit)

Wifi on

Localitation off

Stamina off

(Sorry for my english, I'm spanish)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] loudog3114:
In my experience SOT is a pretty terrible benchmark to compare with. If you barely use your device, you're going to get way LESS screen on time, then those that sit and use it for hours at a time. My bet is everyone here would get roughly the same SOT if, from a full charge, we just all looped the same video until the phone was dead. Asking how people get a certain SOT contains so many variables it isnt even worth asking. Odds are those with a high SOT go to work/school and play games or browse the web for hours on end, then charge when they get home. You are NOT going to get 5-6 hours of SOT and have the device last 24-48 hours.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] johema:
Thanks for your answer! But im not using the phone for 24 hours, I just unplug it in the morning and at night the mobile is about 10% with 3 SOT
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] arjun.arora:
Give it a week buddy. With time the battery consumption will improve.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] johema:
Okay, thank you! But i got the mobile since last week (13-01)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] arjun.arora:
Here, take a look.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] johema:
Wow. Brightness? How many hours did you use it?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] arjun.arora:
Usually I keep the brightness at 50%. The battery lasts for about a day and a half with my usage. Also, I try my best to charge it when the battery reaches 5%. Stamina mode always on.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] arjun.arora:
Another thing, turn off the scanning always available option in the advanced wi-fi settings. It drains a lot of battery in standby mode.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] johema:
Thanks for your help! I never use the stamina mode. I already have the scanning always available option turnes off. I dont know what happen to my Z5p, maybe because its new and the battery needs some time to fully work
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] NewStreetPhoto:
Thanks, I didn't even know that setting existed, let alone that it drained battery!

When I first got my Z5P the battery life as absolutely appalling, even with every battery saving option turned on, ans screen on auto turned down to zero.

I did a software repair using PC Companion [make sure you don't plug in the phone until it's about to actually update the device, and that it's turned off] and that's actually help [though it's still looking a lot of juice].

Anyway, thanks again for that tip!

This is a rough activity log along with battery stats for my Z5P which I got maybe 4 days ago...

24/1/2016

12:40am 95% Quick charged from 30%

3:43am 92% ][was 93] Added info to keep..

6:28am 89% Checked phone, launched Taptalk in response to notifications. Been in airplane mode all night.

8:01am 73% Deleted some photos, shot a couple of photos of my rabbit.

10:14am @ 48% Added Android wear, calender, Guardian, and lifelog into the active standby apps list.

10:27.@ 46% Reset the fingerprint scanner with new prints.

11:05am @ 41% Been in sleep mode waiting to be woken up.

12:47pm @ 23% Reset my Sony smartwatch 3, beamed two image's and received a screenshot. Received a Facebook massage..

1:11 @ 17% 10 minutes web browsing with Chrome, texting, and smartwatch 3 use.

These are massively vague usage stats, but the fact is that the device is loosing charge when asleep with most energy saving options turned on [7 apps in the exception list to alow the smart watch to work - guess work rather than knowledge].

Thanks in advance for any help

Hey all,

Got my Xperia Z5P two days ago and I'm getting the same kind of feel for the battery life as Barry describes:

It feels like I can watch the charge percentage drop by the minute while doing -whatever- on the phone, especially when playing games (GTA: Vice City - dropped me down from 90% to 84% doing one mission, ~10 minutes).

I hope some of you guys experience with the battery "settling in" comes true and getting through the day becomes more comfortable. :fingers-crossed:

Peace.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] johema:
I did a software repair last night so lets see what happen to the battery life today
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] NewStreetPhoto:
The thing about turning off "Scanning always availible" has hellped. [see previous post] It stops the phone from constantly looking for a WiFi concretions. The other things that's helped is disability "Lifelog" and changing location from "High accuracy" to " Device only" which means that the phone will only use the GPS and not the WiFi and mobile data when getting your location. Obviously it's not as accurate, but if you need to use high accuracy GPS you can just turn it back on!
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] johema:
I see its running something in background but i donw know what. Its a very poor battery life, more than 50% and only 1:30 SOT
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] NewStreetPhoto:
Jesus, 18% screen is good! Check out my stats! I was going to say that things seem to be stabilising on my phone, but if our screen is only using 18% what the hell am I doing wrong?

Unfortunately I can't post a screenshot because I haven't reached my nominal 10 posts, but basically

Screen 37%

Android OS 13%

Google play 6%

Android system 5%

Cell standby 4%

Phone idle 3%

Google app 2%

Voice calls. 2%

Facebook. 2%

Taptalk. 2%

Mediaserver 2%

Having said that I started at around 85% and I've been using my phone on mix of WiFi and mobile data [from 6am] and I'm now just getting to 36% at 7:51pm.

I've using my phone all day making a lot of calls, Google searches [cos I need to book a studio], adding contacts. It's not the best, but I think I can live with it now [of corse I should never say that as that's a portent of doom ;) ]

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

P.S Is WiFi really less battery hungry than mobile data?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] johema:
18% is not good.... It means that something is draining the battery running in background. The screen about 30-40 is ok. If you see my stats, the z5p has been active for a long time and i havent been using it.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] NewStreetPhoto:
Ok, that seems to make sense. One thing I've just noticed is that the widget for the power management now gives me the same umber weather it's on or off?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] dre1187:
Hey all, I'm on 32.0.A.6.160 firmware and I've noticed my battery draining rapidly and was wondering if these stats are the norm? I believe Android OS is draining more then it should...
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] jplempka:
I get about 7-8 hours screen time with max brightness (adaptive).

Make sure you have live wallpaper off guys.

I also use an app called Greenify and Clean Master to auto kill apps when screen turns off.

Stamina mode off, queue background data on, smart backlight control on,WiFi scanning always available.

Cheers.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] pgangwani35:
Even I also updated to Marshmallow 6.0

But still I am facing this issue battery Drainage ismore faster
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] arjun.arora:
I tried it and went back to lollipop. Its not more than a beta marshmallow update, in my opinion. I guess we'll have to wait a bit longer for a stable MM version.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] pgangwani35:
I have seen first time after updating problem increases more
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] SocketMix:
I think I'll stay with lollipop for now 6 hours screen on time I'm happy with
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Daniel_GB:
here is my battery usage on MM with 6hrs SOT and still 22% left, I am really satisfied and don't miss stamina mode!
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Xeon:
I get excellent battery life under MM... those having issues, you better investigate what's draining your battery... We all have the same device and battery... I have more than 100 apps installed included apps running in background ( whatsapp... Viber....Instagram... Truecaller... Microsoft Outlook... Skype....Skype for Business... Facebook...Facebook messenger... Snapchat etc... ) and battery lasts a full day on Medium/Heavy usage ...

I was in a wedding yesterday and my battery was around 45%... Recorded 21 mins 1080p 60FPS clip + half an hour phone calls + 30-50 pics + whatsapp randomly for 3 hours and my battery reached 21% in 3 hours... Very impressive I must say for a 5.5 inch 810SD device

Brightness is at 50% and BT + Dual SIM + 3G data enabled.... 64GB card installed and whatsapp battery optimization disabled + density at 320dpi so more stress on GPU....

too many things can affect battery life, if you need assistance ping me...
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] imkr1:
NO screen on time No belive
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Xeon:
Dude you think I'm bluffing ? I've been on this forum for more than 12 years ever since my first XDA device. I've tried every brand of mobile phones on earth and the Xperia was the best. Wanna have a laugh ? I work for Nokia.. : )

Here's a video of my current consumption after a full day of moderate usage. Battery drained 1/3 with more than 2 hours on time screen + whatsapp all day + 48 mins phone call + watched one episode on youtube of "Orange is the new black" + Dual SIM + half brightness + wifi + 19 mins whatsapp call + few SMS + few browsing.....

Left home around 11 AM and I'm back at 12:30 AM ( 13 hours later with no charger and I still have 63% )

Honestly I'm very satisfied with battery life and that was a busy Sunday... not a day at work where you barely touch your phone. I'm not a gamer so I don't really know about gaming experience but NO heat and NO battery drain.

My almost 3 y old Xperia Z on 5.1.1 still give me a good day without charge. Sony ? yeah that's why I love this brand. It's quality. They don't fool people with fake benchmark scores. In real life Sony wipes the floor with the Samsung when it comes to smoothness and Android experience.

AND MY DEVICE IS AT 320 DPI and it's lightning fast... see video....

Hi I've just upgraded to z5p and before long i update to marshmallow. Still on third charge and from what i observed it looks like to be on the same level with my xzu. Will post battery life on this charge's end.

Ps: try to turn off Wifi Scanning and Bluetooth scanning it might help the phone to sleep on standby. It is located on Location -> scanning.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] cal_l_lka:
dude, I don't know what kind of magic we did ysterday, but now I'm having 2:15 sot and still 70% battery left.

THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH!

unfortunately, can't attech screens, as the post meter is low
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Xeon:
anytime bro ;)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Xeon:
he asked to share his battery consumption as he can't post links yet...
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] FTps:
After updating to Android 6.0 I wake up in the morning with the same level of charge as it was putting. Of course, at night I have off data and WiFi. BT runs continuously, I have connected with SmartBand Talk.

During the day when the phone does not use (the data is turned on LTE) graph discharge most of the time is horizontal.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] twitchyzero:
My Dual Sim variant E6883 seems to have improved battery life since updating to MM

I used to get around 4.5 hours SOT at 15%

yesterday I got 5.25h SOT at 25%.

identical settings...brightness auto wifi on...although no more live wallpapers.

I thought I would miss Stamina mode but if this keeps up..i'll be very happy with this update. I'll try to aim for 6h SOT @ 25-30%
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] engineer000:
anyone using aggressive doze with greenify? is it effective?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hansip87:
To get best SoT, simple.. Read a book and minimal screen touch and indoor reading (lower brightness). And voila, 6 or even 7 hr is very possible.

Regarding greenify, i don't think it is required these days, seeing Flagship usially comes with 3GB of RAM and Doze already prevents them to be alive while idling..

Ps: after testing adaptive brightness it is indeed a battery drainer, never mind the oversaturated color on bright Sunlight. So i turn it off and use one of the auto brightness app from Play Store and it offers better battery life. Used to be 1hr/20% battery, now 1hour/15% battery with adaptive turned off. You guys need to try it out.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Ashray_Vk:
Hey

I've had a bad battery in the beginning too. Right now, I'm using rom aur v2.2 beta along with zacharias.maladroit's kernel and in getting some freaking amazing results.

I'm using greenify + amplify + powernap +interactive governor tweaks and the results are great.

Since I'm using amplify, I must have disabled some service which is responsible for checking the battery used by userapps and hence, battery usage shows no apps. Only screen on time and other basics. Well, I can assure you that I'm continuously using WiFi with moderate screen brightness and continuously listening to music too, along with browsing xda :p

Take a look at these screenshots and let me know if I can help you out in any way.

Ps: [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION], it's like your kernel is on drugs, lol.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] arjun.arora:
Awesome.. But tell me one thing are you facing this issue.. After switching on the accessibility service for any of the third party apps, like greenify, the navigation keys overlap the small apps bar & after switching it off, goes back to normal..
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Ashray_Vk:
Good observation. Yes, it does for me too. I hadn't turned on accessibility services, was manually using hibernation through shortcut kept in the homescreen
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] arjun.arora:
But still, you need to give accessibility to greenify to perform hibernation..
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Ashray_Vk:
No, it's only for auto hibernation. Not otherwise. Check again. I just switched off accessibility and still could perform hibernation.

PS: Feel fee to correct me if I'm wrong, but do test manual hibernation through greenify without accessibility service enabled. It works for me. ( I use the hibernate now shortcut in the homescreen)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] arjun.arora:

It's always on 100%.

Is this an issue?

I tried on several ROMs and Versions...
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hansip87:
With 185 the SOT is actually amazing.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] wiltron1000:
What's 185?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Ashray_Vk:
Firmware edition
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] Life Engineer:
Is this 3G only? Wifi Only? Or mixed?
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hansip87:
At the beginning it was on Wifi. after the next day roughly at 9am i'm on my work so only Mobile data. I've never turned on LTE though. it's still spotty at best here in Indonesia plus the tariff is not reasonable yet.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] engineer000:
6 hours SOT.. Mixed wifi and data (LTE), social apps and spotify.. aggressive doze + greenifying user and system apps on not rooted state using 185 FW
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] mistry121:
Guys I highly recommend doing a software repair after taking the .185 OTA update. Before the software repair on .185 I was getting around 4:30-5 hours SOT with mostly wifi and a little LTE. I was draining on average 10% every 25-30 mins. After the software repair on the .185 update I'm now draining 10% every 45 mins on average (Right now I'm at 90% with 47 mins SOT). Huge improvement if you ask me.

For a better understanding of my usage. I browsed the web on chrome, played 2 games of clash royale, viewed snapchat and instagram as well as metal (fb alternative - highly recommended), and finally the rest of my time was spent on messaging people on whatsapp.

Fast Draining Battery

Hi, my phone only gives me about 3 1/2 hrs SOT. I believe this is very low for this phone. Can anybody help me and tell me what ROM should I use or Kernel since I really need to improve the batter life. Any link to Kernel or ROM or installation guide will be very appreciated. PD. It also tends to get quite hot. My software is 32.1A.1.163 (6.0) E683 Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] NewStreetPhoto:
The one that came with the phone? Speaking as an engineer [as well as a great photographer] a mobile OS is an incredibly complex thing that's usually built in collaboration by a dedicated team well in advance of the hardware being released to the public. If you're looking to experiment with custom ROM's on a phone this young you're going to have to expect that you'll still run into basically the same problems, things won't be perfect. The release schedule for Google's builds has accelerated to a rediculous rate, almost to fast for developers to keep up with. There hasn't been enough time for most build to stabilise yet! The chances are that your problems are to do with configuration or a rogue app rather than the ROM. I'm running 32.1.A.1.163 (6) and my battery's lasting a lot longer than that. Have you tried things like "Lux" which automatically adjusts the screen brightens, or contacting the team at Sony? Just saying before you dive into experimental ROM's [unless you know exactly what your doing], I'd advise you to try and stabilise the installation you have...
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hansip87:
Full day reading Google Books plus some Evernote writing ;)
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] jplempka:
I have to say I'm really happy with the battery life on my Z5P. I always get minimum 5 1/2 hours SOT with the following settings:

-Wif scanning off

-Stamina mode on

-Queue background data on

- 30% brightness (adaptive) I find this setting perfect for my eyes. Black bars on movies are almost not noticeable.

-Bluetooth on/GPS off

- Greenify (I hibernate all apps which I don't use on a daily basis)

For me the most important thing is I don't have to worry about charging until the end of the day.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] dominicstg2:
im curious with 10 hrs of standby before root i would get 100% but now after root and installing powernap, amplify and greenify i get 95% wonder whats wrong :(
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hansip87:
Well.. Don't fix if it ain't broken. Too much of things usually means the drain itself.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] dominicstg2:
There is a xda post about getting extra battery using the amplify power nap and greenify
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] hansip87:
Ya but battery life is not a matter of objectivity, rather subjective unless measured scientifically. so what people suggest doesn't always do you good. It might be that the person had one app that works bad before and with powernap etc it is solved. but on a device without that pesky app, installing power nap might make your device lasting shorter than before.
[Xperia Z5 Premium General] dominicstg2:
On my note 4 and LG g4 I got better battery life compared to stock
