Nope, haven't enabled those. Anyways I can easily live without the official facebook apps since the alternative app does the job good aswell, just the chat heads aren't possible.

But the battery life has really improved since I deleted those two applications.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Lethien:
It's good to hear, maybe something is corrupt and you should try a factory reset.

But if you're okay with theses similary app, it's good
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Deflow:
Yeah, I thought about factory reset too. Wanting to do it but don't really want to spend half a day setting back up the phone again.

Thanks for the tips nonetheless
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RobZ5:
If you are having issues with the battery, download the Sony Software Companion and repair the phone.

(Just make sure you back up your data)

DON'T just do a normal data/wipe on your phone - make sure you use Sony Software Companion.

Its worked for me and the others I've had to do.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] novahob:
So how much did that improve your battery life by?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RobZ5:
This took it back to the same or I'd even say improved it.

I know its a mission to do but its fixed my issue, I don't have to charge it at 3pm now lasts the day./night and low % in morning.

Hope it helps
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] novahob:
So same as MM? What SOT were you getting before doing the companion repair? I'm getting between 3 and 4 depending on usage but I'd say average would be around 3.5hrs.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] koekoek91:
Can you upload some screenshots from how much SOT you are getting?

On MarshMallow I always had atleast 5-6 hrs SOT and regularly even up to 8 hours, even on fairly heavy usage.

Now on Nougat, even after tweaking CPU interactive governor, debloating, disabling some unneccessary services, disabling bluetooth, location services, and auto-syncing it still sucks ( SOT usually 3-4 hours) compared to marshmallow 5-8hrs.

It gets me through the day still, but Nougat was supposed to improve battery life but so far, thats not the case :silly:

So unless you are geting like 6 hours SOT now after doing the Xperia Companion repair, I think its not worth the hassle.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Bobzee:
Damn guys, I can only envy your battery results... My experience so far has settled to about ~2, at most 3 hours of SoT with any kind of usage... It's quite strange, but even if I just let the phone sit and check it sometimes, the drain is consistent.

Overall, I might be trying to Sony companion re-install some time soon, definitely. If that doesn't help, rolling back to stock MM and rooting/tweaking is still an option. Only I really like the UI changes and 7.0 and don't want to sacrifice them. But then again, 1-2 hours of SoT is ridiculous, even 3h is weak.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] novahob:
Just spotted this on the z5 Sony forum though you need root, which i don't have.

I changed a few things when doing the first start, and just restricted everything non system from data, and added a couple ... This is a root kernel stock 32.3.A.2.33, Went down to 32.0A.6.200, because I had to retrieve my IMEI when I wiped everything trying to get TWRP/ROOTKernel/Nougat integrated.

I haven't tried super stamina yet with twrp, because I broke something when I tried in marshmallow
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tochinoki:
After update to nougat .376 one week ago, I returned to MM for constant battery draining, and low volume speaker, and incredibly overheat. I just can't wait to the mid april update.

I've tried Stamina, Greenify, disable all permission app with background data, reset permissions and disable every Sony-Google app could it possible with unrooted, disable syncing on email push. charge optimization disabled or enabled. Factory reset twice didn't helped. I've also tried to fully discharge and recharge with device off.

The battery initially drained 25%-30% on fresh update, after tuning some was 17%-20% (no data, only wifi when it's available) with some youtube videos full screen drained totally 35%-40%

about heating, every time I unlocked the phone or watch the clock it became really hot, for every simple actions. Compared to MM it was a cold ice brick, on Nougat I can cook the eggs over it.

By the way N was really smooth and nice, and I'm sad I had this issues

Now in MM I feel the battery degraded than before, loosing at least 10%-12% on modest usage (no data, only wifi when it's available). Before was 7% at the end of the day same usage, 15% with video play or streaming in a period of 24h.

Maybe these issuse are caused by the Nougat cats eastereggs? :silly:

So my suggest is not to upgrade to Nougat yet, unless the draining and the heat don't bother you (and low speaker volume of course). Maybe rooting N can help tuning something about.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Gewiz:
It's already rolling out, if you wanna try it.;)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tochinoki:
Oh yeah, do you mean .378?

I have upgraded to it on the last attempt before downgrade to MM, I didn't notice any difference at all...

My experience so far is just awful with this new update...how much does it matter if i did direct update instead of a clean install?

I really want to go back to MM now ,i had much better battery life with that one.

The one eats a lot of battery on idle even with greenify.

Should i try to do a clean install with PC Companion?or it's like this for everyone.

I get like 3-5hrs screenontime with light use and i had 7-8 before(light use).

Anyone know how could i get the latest marshmallow fm and can i flash it with flashtool without touching TA partition and other stuff.Im on locked bootloader,nonrooted.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tochinoki:
oh thankyou I didn see that!

I think I will upgrade in the future, after the things are stabilized
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Zeathon:
Hi, I've been on nougat since release. Battery life sucks! I've tried all the "solutions" without any luck. I got updated the other day to the latest patch and things seem better than on release day. However.... Doze mode just simply doesn't work for me, Ive seen its the same for a lot of you too.

On my z5c, after a restart my phone dozes for around 30 to 40mins. It also has the WiFi calling icon in the top right present. After that time, the WiFi calling icon dissappears and my phone will not doze. It's so weird. I digged a little deeper with bbs and it's saying these are the problems:

ipc0000002c_imsdatadaemon

ipc0000002d_imsdatadaemon

ipc0000007c_imsdatadaemon

How can I fix this?

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Dean F:
Phone idel battery drain is dependant on your firmwares REGION. For Example - NOBA and Taiwan firmwares have phone idel battery drain, while Hong Kong and Austrailia do not have phone idel battery drain. If you have phone ideal battery drian, chances are you have a firmware region that is effected by this.

To fix the problem - If you have phone battery draing over night, just flash the HK or AU firmware and BOOM - battery drain is 100% fixed. Go to bed with 100%battery, and wake up in the morning with 100% battery. I haved tested, and tripple tested this - its gaurenteed to fix your problem, no buts, no exception. And no custom roms, no custom kernal, or rooting required.

We could save a lot of time and debate on the forums if people would just wake up and realise this problem is firmware region dependant.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Zeathon:
[MENTION=7725478]Dean F[/MENTION] How does that work? I'm not saying your wrong, i would just like to understand why a countries firmware would drain a battery faster than another?

On another note, do your have any insight into why my doze isn't working?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Dean F:
Not sure. One thing I noticed, is that regions with phone idle drain, also had the app "Emergency Alerts" installed, but that could be co-incidence. In Taiwan, that apps is meant to give us up to 20second warning before earthquakes strikes.

Because I had battery drain on TW firmware, i switched to HK firmware, which does not have "Emergency Alerts" and idle drain was fixed.

Recently switched to NOBA region firmware to get Nougat early, as it still wasn't released for HK. Noticed the Emergency Alerts app was there, and the overnight battery drain was also back.

Switched to Australia region firmware, which didn't have emergency alerts, and battery drain is gone. Could be co-incidence that the emergency alerts app was there. But what is not co-incidence, is that switching to HK or AU will fix the battery drain problem.

In summary, If you have the overnight battery drain, simply flashing HK or AU firmware will fix your problem. 100% guaranteed. No, if's, no buts, - it will work. And I have tested it 10 times over.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tochinoki:
other than idle battery drain, doyou noticed something wrong in the immediate use after stand-by? like 7%-10% drain on first use?

I mean the first operations after the standby will drain a lot of battery. I think the region "fix" only the standby drain, but hte consumes overall are quite big compared to MM, with same sync settings

what do you think?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Zeathon:
I live in Norway and i still get phone idle drain. Over night i loose 10%. There is no emergency system here for natural disasters so I'm sure that it doesn't apply to me. I'm completely stumped with the doze feature.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Dean F:
10% overnight seems about right for those effected firmwares.

Just switch to AU or HK man. They are very clean generic firmwares without any regional app bloat and have all the nordic keyboards. Let me know if it fixed your issue (it will!!). It will save you a lot of stress and time.

Go go go go!!!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Zeathon:
[MENTION=7725478]Dean F[/MENTION] I haven't changed the firmware, you got me thinking about connections though. My phone's draining seems to be from the kernal and it's stopping some of the phone's function (WiFi calling and doze). Really weird problem and hard to diagnose.

Now, i said connections right........VoTLE, i disabled this and everything is working as it should be, my WiFi calling is staying on. It also reconnects when i come home and turn on WiFi. Doze is working all the time now and only 6% over night. So Dean F, thanks ?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Dean F:
6%? Should be 0% to 1% overnight drain....
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Zeathon:
Where did you get the Australian firmware from? Xperifirm?

Are there any downsides to me switching? (I.e custom loaded apps from Australia?) I've never used a different firmware from another region, not completely sure why the Australian firmware would be different from the Norwegian.....
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Dean F:
Yeah, just get it from xperifirm. Both HK and AU firmwarrs are very generic. No system custom/regional apps included. I dont beleive there is any downside to switching.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Zeathon:
Ok, I'll give it a try. One final question, do i need to update via xperifirm once I've installed the Australian firmware? Because i assume that if i update OTA it will override the Australian firmware with nordic when say, upgrading to 7.1.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] novahob:
Has anyone seen any increase in performance in battery life after doing a software repair through Sony Companion? I'm running the 32.3.A.2.33 and while it's better than the previous Nougat version it's not MM. I'm thinking of doing a software repair but it's a lot of hassle if it won't do anything.

I can get on some usage between 3.5hr to 4hr screen on time. However yesterday I was playing podcasts in beyond pod connected by Bluetooth to my car. Also had about 15min phone call. In 1.5hrs I used nearly 17% which to me is bad. I've used this combination on MM with better battery life.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Dean F:
If you install australian firm, the phone will stay australian - updates it wont overwrite back to your nordic region. If a future update for australia comes out, you will get the update automatically, no need take any further action in xperifirm.

I'm on the latest nougat update, but how do i tell which region my stock rom is from?

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ForeverRogue:
Upgraded from Tab S2 running MM to Tab S3 running Nougat. I played with the new S3 for a few days before the 'big transfer' but I didn't think to really check idle battery drain beforehand. Then I transfered all my apps from the S2 using Smart Switch and it was when I activated AccuBattery that I was able to note a couple annoyances. First, yes the S3 is losing 1%/h when in idle, while the S2 was losing 0%. To lose 1% per hour in idle is ridiculous! Secondly, the new S3 is only going into Deep Sleep for about 60% of screen off time, when the S2 is sleeping deeply for about 90% of screen off time. Curious that the S2 got the update to N a only a few days after I got the S3, but the battery draining stats have not seemed to change on the S2.

I do not have battery intensive apps on either device (no FB, Whatsapp, etc). I run Purify and Greenify on both devices and I have location services off on both devices. I suspect a wakelock issue but an unwillingness to root prevents me from identifying the culprit any time soon.

Just my two cents - I feel your pain.

EDIT: I turned off Sync in the Google accounts and that makes a huge difference. Deep sleep is now about 90% of screen off time and it's draining at 0.2% - 0.4% per hour while in idle.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidrf:
Hi there,

more than two years ago I installed Cyanogen on my TF300T and very soon after I sold it to a friend of mine. He used it all the time but lately it slowed down a lot, so he brought it to a IT guy who tried to uninstall Cyanogen and re-install the original firmware (what????).

He failed miserably, and now the tablet is in this situation: as soon as you turn it on it shows the Asus logo with the "this device is unlocked" thing in the upper left corner. Then it goes straight to the Teamwin blue logo and gets stuck there forever. Every once in a while the screen blinks but that's all. I also tried to power off the tablet but every time it restarts itself. The only way to shut it off seems to be waiting for the battery to drain.

Is there a way I could possibly save this tablet, installing some new ROM on it? Thanks!

When this unit is in standby. 1st push of on button to turn on switches on vibrate. when unit returns to standby. Next push of on button takes of vibrate and the ringer comes back on.So every push of on/off button either switches off vibrate or on when in standby.Reverse of current setting.

I would try a different rom and see if that fixes it. Could be mapping issues. Sounds funny though.

I tried other Sim Cards and that Sim Card just works fine. I put it on the sim1 try, cause the sim2 one doesnt seem to work at all.
