I use GSAM Battery Monitor to keep an eye on things. After a few weeks I'm happy enough with battery drain levels.

It mostly depends on phone signal; if I'm at home the signal is very weak and this can drive the standby drain up to nearly 10% an hour, and the phone can get warm. But if it has better phone signal then the drain can be as low as 2% or 3% per hour.

I have my phone set to turn off wifi when screen is off. I also use a Notification area weather app, Messenger, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, etc and I have a number of email accounts and calendars syncing regularly so I would say I'm not running things in a lean manner. I'm sure if I uninstalled most of these apps my standby time would be spectacular, but then I wouldn't be getting particularly good use out of my smartphone.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Malerovi:
Hey, how do you turn wifi or even data off? Using stamina but how exactly?

Much appreciated
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Dimoncelli:
Have you tried with BREVENT APP together with an aggresive Doze app (Greenify, ForceDoze, NaptimeX)? I´ve now installed Brevent + Greenify and standby during night from 100% "only" takes me 0,5% per hour more or less.

Also inside Brevent you have possibility to access to AppOps (be careful with this option).

I found that Bluetooth was causing massive drain on my phone. The fix which worked for me without turning off bluetooth (I like it to auto connect when I get in the car) was Settings->Location, then click the 3 dots menu in the top right and then Scanning, turn off Bluetooth Scanning. There are a few other things you can do as well.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] crisout:
What else things do you mean? :p
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] abhijiths362:
After z5 becomes it can drain upto 30% per hour
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] seilent:
standby drain is decent here, using mx rom
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Sh4rkill3r:
you have 96%, that prediction is BS, never the prediction come true.

I charge the phone 100%, tell me it going to last 12hours and go to sleep for ~7 hours and the battery is less than 30%.

the overheat over time killed the battery.

It started approximately 2-3 months after I purchased the mobile.

[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] OfficialTEC:
I think its a beautiful phone, the 'candybar' design does look rather attractive
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] bofis:
Yes, I feel it's much improved from the Z3 Compact even, esp the speaker design and frosted back. The entire phone feels more matte to me, and the speakers on the front are almost invisible the way they are just slits at the top and bottom, great for using glass screen protectors. Feels good in the hand and is significantly faster than my Z3c

[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Nimda01:
Z5 isn't comfortable to hold as much, because OmniBalance design has a flat back panel and sharp edge.

but It's acceptable for me since this phone is a third xperia device I've ever owned.

The real problem is volume button. I don't know why they positioned it very close to camera button. make it difficult to press with one hand.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] theprince1991:
I find the Z5 compact very uncomfortable to hold. Slightly too big for my hands. Too thick and corners add to the problem. I think the device is gorgeous though. Z1 Compact is way more comfortable to hold.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Kirkland301:
+1 on that point. The volume button is ridiculously low compared to most phones. Makes it somewhat of a pain to use.

That said, overall the feel is quite nice. My only concern is the back, with no case on, it's fairly slippery and easy to lose your hold of.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] prince10t:
looks good but:

-slippery, prone to drop

-edgy or quite sharp corners at the back of the phone
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] chitose_ndy:
Feels nice to hold, but feels very slippery.

The volume button is sometimes a pain because its too low near the camera button.

Esp. because that i had z1, im used to pressed the volume button on the middle of the phone.

So its kinda weird now.

But i love the design, and i have the white z5, and i love it

It is not much ergonomic but design is fantastic
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Vcaddy:
Looks amazing but super slippery
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Dragan17a:
The volume buttons are that way because when you hold it horizontally, it is more comfortable. I don't agree fully with this decision, but I am pretty sure that is the reason.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Caffeineshock:
also if the phone is in your pocket, its very easy to access the volume buttons
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Allek84:
Ergonomics is great.I use Nillkin Scrub and feel nice in the hand and not too heavy in the pocket.

[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] reza_v:
The back glass isn't quite even with the metal frame, so you would feel the sharp edges of the frame when holding the phone. In other words, the metal frame is a hair thicker than the phone itself. You might not see that in the pictures but you'd certainly feel it. I'd say it's a design flaw but nothing you can't live with.

why

any one can help?
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Pure_Evil_CZ:
Did you tried to reset router to default settings? Did you tried to update router to newest firmware? :)
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] saoooo:
Thank you for providing this information so that we know how to protect their eyes
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Dr. Mantis Toboggan MD:
Well all I can say is I have no issues with signal strength at all. When my WiFi works fine, the throughput is good too. The problem I am having with mine (on both 6.0 and 6.0.1) is that I lose my WiFi connection every few minutes. What happens is I'll be browsing online and after a few minutes nothing is loading but the signal indicator in the status bar shows a full signal. I have to turn off WiFi on my device, then turn it back on in order for it to keep going. Very irritating. I have many wireless devices in my house, this is the only one doing it. Oh and I've tried using 2 different routers, no change.

Anyone else experience this?
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] jasonwsc:
No issue with mine, reaching as fast as 400Mbps near the router. Signal strength works as well as the Intel PCI-E wireless AC7260 cards in my house, so that's pretty impressive. Overall pretty satisfied with the WiFi performance.

I'm using a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 router with a fibre connection, so I guess that's something.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] TheTecXpert:
Im having the exact same issue as you... the connection to the WiFi itself doesnt disconnect.. But what is actually happening is that the Device itself seems like it is putting itself in to this wifi sleep state briefly for a minute or 2 and then just suddenly comes back to it's senses (suddenly wakes up and starts sending/receiving data packets which then resumes loading like normal.. and it does this randomly at nonspecific times..

It could happen within a minute or 2 of using the wifi... or sometimes even after an hour or so of streaming (sometimes within 5 minutes of streaming)....

***NOTE***

My Xperia Z5 has custom ROM and Kernel and is rooted with SuperSU with Xposed and busybox installed running Latest Marshmallow 6.0.1 (.224) Firmware..

THEN I suddenly decided **** this, I'm actually going to fix this shi* lol ( you know that moment when you just had enough and finally decide to bother doing something about it, :D ).. that's the moment I had..

Anyway to keep this simple...

After several hours of troubleshooting, testing and diagnosing , and trying to narrow down, isolate and fix the damn problem causing it to happen, I'm not sure 100% just yet but I may have found the problem and the fix to this IF the wifi "Hanging" doesnt occur anymore after doing some minor editing of the system files. (Only able to do with a rooted device) :D.

I will inform you guys with my results in a couple of days and hopefully the outcome is good news :D.. IF not, ill just have to keep trying and if all else fails ill just factory reset the device since getting everything back on to my phone will only take 30 minutes..

Peace!
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Dr. Mantis Toboggan MD:
Awesome, keep us posted if you find anything! I'm looking into it at my end as well :) FWIW, I have factory reset and even re-flashed the firmware multiple times with no improvement. Just trying to save you time and effort into reinstalling and stuff :)
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] TheTecXpert:
Sweet as bro, thanks for the heads up.. Well so far I haven't noticed any dropouts of any sort as of yet. But I still have some things that I am testing.. Will update soon..
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] TheTecXpert:
Well.. Here i am.. And unfortunately the issues still persisted.. To top it off, my phone decided to start having random moments where it would just restart on its on, even when left idle for a non specific amount of time. Anywhere between 1 and 3hrs.. I started getting really ticked off with it, so I decided to factory reset the device and install the latest (stock) firmware .253 from Sony using xperifirm and flashtool.. Flashed successfuly, applied latest andropluskernel, applied root, and xposed and also debloated the rom.. so far its been little over 12 hours and i havent really noticed any WiFi issues apart from the WiFi at some point tends to almost seem like it lags and slows down briefly and then just loads.. Not as bad as it was on previous firmware .225 .. Overall performance and battery on device seems pretty decent, without Amplify, without disabling any services or any system tweaks of any kind...

So now that I am onthe new firmware and rooted etc... I will as of this point specifically going to dedicate my diagnosticsand testing solely on the WiFi issue and see if I can find a permanent fix this time on the latest firmware..

Will report back soon.. Hopefully what I have in mind works..

(buffer size, WiFi chip power tweaks, WiFi sleep timers, etc etc etc)
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Dr. Mantis Toboggan MD:
I have tried looking through logs on the phone to try and diagnose with no success. Still trying here though :)
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] TheTecXpert:
Sorry its been a while..

Just been busy..

So far on the recently updated firmware (.253), I have not had any wifi issues as of yet. And it has been fine since my last post...

One thing ive noticed though is that by default the wifi scanning frequency is set to 180seconds by default.. If you can, try and change the interval between wifi scanning and see if that helps at all..
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] Dr. Mantis Toboggan MD:
No worries at all, I have too which is why I didn't see your reply for almost a week.

I haven't updated yet to .253, not sure how to go about it so I have been delaying. I've been poking around the forums here trying to see if anyone posted any instructions on how to upgrade if you are rooted on .224. In the mean time I will keep looking through logs and I'll try the WiFi scanning.

The crappy part is I recently turned on the fingerprint reader and I am also experiencing issues with that. Once or twice a day I get "fingerprint hardware not available" and have to reboot my phone to get that functionality back. I see others with the issue and it happens regardless of firmware so it's probably a marshmallow issue.
[Xperia Z5 Real Life Review] TheTecXpert:
All good..

Well you're gonna have to download the firmware from xperifirm and flash it via flashtool.. And since you're rooted with 224, you will have to download the new andropluskernel v34 for 253 firmware.. And TWRP custom recovery 3.0.2. specifically for the Xperia Z5. If you need help on locating the files/guides, I can link them to you, since we aren't in the right thread for this topic :D.. Just shoot me a PM if you need to and ill happily point you in the right direction.

For me, cellular strength is pretty good. But I cant really compare it with my friends's phones since we all are using different providers.

but I would say that the lte is pretty good, but not that superior.

Wifi is pretty good but also not very strong or superior.

Since z5 came out for about 2 years ago, I would say that the device is just not as good as devices that just come out.
