Enjoy your beast, with screenshots it would have been better mate :good:

This things beats s8 plus anytime. I have location on high accuracy, mail syncing on all the time. the screen shots are combination of Lte data and WIFI data.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] fritzen:
hello guys, I think have a problem with my XZP. I can't make more than 4 hour of screen time on. I have the phone from 4 days.

My regular day is, Whatsapp, Telegram, Browsing web, One or two youtube video, ten to twenty minute of game.

Half day on Wi-Fi and half on LTE. Bluetooth and GPS on for all day.

The phone is hot even during browsing.

How can i do?

ps.How can i add images? Can't find the attachment button
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
With screenshots we can help you more,but you are still a Junior member you need at least 10 posts to add pictures. Anyway, is your phone hot during standby also ? Do you lose battery % even when you dont use your Xperia ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] fritzen:
Oh thanks :).

The phone it's not hot if i leave it standby but came hot if i use. Simply web browsing. ( room temperature 28Celsius)

The battery drop is about from 1 to 2% every hour if i leave it in standby.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Combonary:
This is not a problem. You can play a very battery intensive game everyday and have 3 hours of screen on time or you can watch videos everyday and get 7 hours of screen on time.

It just depends on how you're using your phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] fritzen:
Oh thank you so much. Today i will not play any game to see what can do this phone xD
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Is this wifi/ data enabled ? Location ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] fritzen:
Wifi yes, location now is disabled.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
If you receive notifications it will drain some battery, with all the phones i had if i leave wifi/data AND receive a lot of notifcations and messages it will drain more. Try on turn off wifi, and see if its the same to know if the problem is something else maybe
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] fritzen:
Thanks for the tips. I will try this night. :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
No problem mate, if it doesnt drain as much as with wifi then its the things i told you, if its the same tell me and show screenshots so i can help you if i can ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] fritzen:
Okay, I'm back to home. Some screenshots:

http://imgur.com/a/kMQGs

SoT 4.44h with 21% remaining battery

75% of time under wifi then under LTE.

2 mails in push, whatapp, telegram, web browsing, one call and 10 minutes of gaming

Sorry for the language, but i think It is understandable. :)

i'm not very satisfied
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
You battery life is quite good actually, how much stantby ? Or usage in hours ? Also it depends on your brightness, signal...etc
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] fritzen:
Hello, my usage is Ten hours in total, from 100 to 13%. Brightness at 50% and on automatic.

I have idea it's not too good.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Its average, well if you want you can perform a factory reset and start from scratch, it can help ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] fritzen:
But the phone only has 4 days and 25 apps installed. it's necessary?

Can my model be defective?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Start by cleaning cache first, and see. Check your apps, maybe you have a rogue app keeping your phone awake all time. But again your battery life is not bad, its quite good. It depends on a lot of factors : Signal, brightness,location,temperature too...etc
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] fritzen:
Thanks. I try. :(
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
It should be better than that. Something must be wrong. Try factory reset
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] arjun.arora:
I consistently get 8+ hours SOT. Today was even better. Take a look..
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] fritzen:
I have made now a hard reset... Now I have to wait

I'm so sorry, but i hate you! With love obviously xD

What app you use during the day?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] arjun.arora:
I've switched to opera from chrome for one day and it helped a lot, gave me an extra hour to play with..
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Alaa | Google Android:
Hi brother, I want the theme
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] arjun.arora:
Will soon be on the play store buddy..
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Alaa | Google Android:
OK Bro, Waiting...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
Woow thats insane. Is this mostly wifi usage or mobile data. Either way its min blowing
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] arjun.arora:
Wifi, buddy. Yes, the numbers are really mind blowing. Z5P never went more than 5.5-6 hrs with stamina mode switched on. I haven't used the stamina mode on the XZP yet.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
Yes the battery actually suprised me. 3230mah isn't a big battery for a 4k phone. I didn't expect it to be this good. If it had 3500mah it would have been great. Still its good and I'm impressed. With heavy usage if i hit 6hrs I'm happy. In comparison to my S7 edge its holding up better in terms of battery life. Lets wait and see what android O brings to the XZ premium
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] arjun.arora:

Got the phone last weekend, and I've been getting a full day of medium-heavy use on a single charge (~7-8 SoT, WiFi 90% on, 4G LTE the rest of the time), without Stamina mode! Really impressive! I'll do some further testing with Stamina mode and post the results here.

By far the best Android phone I used (used most HTC flagships and a couple Samsung's). I wonder if uninstalling Facebook and it's messenger app and using an alternative would further extend the battery life, any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Alaa | Google Android:
Thank you
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] chesterr:
So I've been wanting to ask you who's getting 5~6h SOT, Facebook and Messenger apps were installed? and you still got 5~6h SOT?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Artyomska:
Here is my average battery life. I had bluetooth turned on for half of that time for music listening, played 1 hour of Temple Run 2, 1 hour of videos, and in the rest of the time I browsed the internet. No stamina mode, and the brightness was at 50% on average. Facebook and Messenger are installed and I actively use them. The entire time was on Wi-Fi, so no mobile data turned on. Pretty happy with the battery life, coming from a phone with 2 and a half hours life on average.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] fritzen:
Wow amazing...

It's a dream for me...

My result...

I'm thinking of returning it

I can not understand how it is possible
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] fritzen:
Hello. unfortunately i have returned the phone, and now i have no idea what can i buy.

:(
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] figo_rulz11:
With messenger apps and social media I got 5 hours yesterday but I started with 89% to 15% so that's a good sign for me. I should be able to reach on average 5 to 8 hours screen on time.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:

My battery life with just 3G/4G data on only no wifi at all, Very impressed!!!!! 1 day and 16 hours stand by time with 5 hours 49mins screen on time. :good:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] chesterr:
Woohoo, Man I gotta say how much I love this phone. This actually takes back to my old Z2 days. But Z2 never gave me this good battery life for me.

This was WiFi and LTE but LTE most of the time. GPS was always on and I am gonna keep it off and see if there's any battery life improvement.

I think Sony nailed it with battery department again. Hope they won't screw it with future update. I only expect Sony to improve battery life with upcoming Android O.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Combonary:
Almost went 2 days on a single charge. Funny thing is I have it running 4k all the time and the battery life didn't take a hit.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] lebigmac:
sure it won't esplode but it will make you blind ;)

IPS screen is the best
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] figo_rulz11:
Did you notice any lag with enabling the 4k all the time mod?

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

Did you notice any lag with it running 4k all the time? That's impressive 9 hours!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Combonary:
Fortunately, no lags
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] DrBrick:
Solid battery life so far with no issues getting 6+ hours of screen time. Normally use BT all the time but I'm currently on a trip and didn't bring my watch. I did have a weird 20% drain overnight once but it hasn't repeated since I started monitoring with GSam BMP. Did a lot of YouTube and slow motion today but I think I will still squeak out 6 hrs now that I am back on wifi.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
Wooow thats is simply crazy
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] geekygrl:
Had the XZ Premium for only 2 days and already really impressed with the battery life....
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dieselhazza:
For what the phone offers its great battery life. Lucky i went with the XZ Premium over Samsung and other devices out there. This is for someone coming from a Note 5 and S7 edge. I won't be going back to Samsung anytime soon. It will either be Sony Or Pixel devices for me from now on.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] baster72:
at the first day

battery is great
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Dont let your battery go too often to -15%,it will degrade more quickly
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] chesterr:
But that's what this new battery tech does. It helps the battery last longer by charging and discharging? cause users are careless?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Alaa | Google Android:
Xperia XZ Premium have an excellent battery life :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
I've just got 5.5 hrs SOT across 2 days usage from my first time off full charge since getting it.

This is easily the best battery performer I've ever had. Could never get more than 3.5-4 hrs from my HTC 10 with it set at a lower brightness too.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] xa-mont:
Super impressed with this phone's battery life so far. Probably 40% LTE 60% wifi, location always on, took a heap of Slomo videos, watched a heap of stuff (on night shift right now)

So far at 22% after 5h20m screen on and 17h standby.

This is after its first full charge (first started the phone up at about 5pm friday - and its 4am sunday now)Keen to see how this goes over time.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] decomposed:
Once I get 9h 45min SOT!

I tried to reach 10 hours but it is very hard even if you lower down the brightness hehe.

Usually over 8 hours of SOT is not a problem for this phone. Very good engineering in terms of battery management from Sony :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] chesterr:
Man I am loving the battery life of this phone.

Well this is 3rd day of my usage and my biggest concern was Facebook cause it's a battery hog but this phone takes it like a champ.

Plus you can keep the location services on all the time too.

It's been two weeks and I am getting 5h~7h SoT without and issue.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
No one use this phone anymore ? :confused:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Legdotus:
I'm unhappy with mine. If I turn on LTE, battery dies really fast, if I'm indoors with Wi-Fi and brightness at 40-50% I can definitely get at least 7 hours of SoT, but in the open where I have to keep brightness at 100% and use LTE, I will not even make it to 4 hours of SoT.

My Z2 had much better battery when using LTE
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] dazza9075:
Check your background tasks then hard reset it if that doesn't work. There is no reason yours should be significantly worse than the rest of ours unless there's crap on it that's eating juice,
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] zzcat:
The Z2 was a battery life champion, but I'm very pleased with my xzp, I had a Z5 in the middle and it totally sucked battery wise.

I'm getting 6.5 hours SOT average, very satisfied.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] chesterr:
I think I am getting better results than my Z2/Z3. I am really happy with XZP. Plus I keep my GPS on and I am getting 5~7hrs SoT.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] tomo100brt:
In service settings it says that Actul Batt is 3424 mAh. So, why Sony said that it has 3200 mAh?

Hi all, i have this phone from 3 days, and i am very surprise (in good terms) by battery life

My previous xperia z5 hit 3/3.5 hour of sot, but xzp is awesome with 6h of sot (and also with 2 hours of gaming) , bluetooth always on, high precision gps and adaptive brightness

EDIT : After some days i hit 8 hours of sot :laugh: Very very impressive

(also with about 3 hours of gaming)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Minibull:
Just had my first week, dual sim model with single sim.

Absolute powerhouse of a phone, everything is fast and smooth, no crashes, no heating up, and best of all is 9 hours of SOT today! I left it at 4% showing 9 hours and 16 minutes SOT. It still reckoned it could survive another hour based on predictions, provided I didn't continue to hammer it.

Mixed use all day, 4g at work and town, WiFi at home. Whole evening spent listening to music on big studio monitor headphones while browsing heavily, couple of hours of youtube as well.

This phone has ticked every single box so far.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] BlakkArt:
The other day I was at 4h SOT at 48%. This phone rivals the Huawei Mate 9 in battery life, in my experience
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] BigErmes:
How did you reached those numbers? After a month and a half I get only 5h sot as maximum!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] LukeyWolf:
With the new XZ1 coming out, on gamarena it achieved 82 hours on such a small battery, obviously there is no 4k and the screen is smaller but judging from that, the Oreo update should help with battery by alot (maybe) for the XZ Premium!

In belive with at least 5hrs on-screen actually. You can check the graph, not gaming tho, just medium high usage.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Guys what is the sot on mobile data (not wifi)?

Just picked up this phone 2 days ago, and these 2 days, I've been experiencing Phone idle draining 42% while Screen only drains 12% (1h SoT)

full charge with very light use drains my down to 48% in 15 hrs.

what can I do?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] kaitou797:
The battery life is ruining my experience with this amazing phone, I can't reach 5 hours of SOT.

I turn off Bluetooth - NFC - WIFI when I'm out, adaptive brightness, no games, no apps that drain the battery.

I begin my day at 6:30 am, I use in my way to work youtube and Spotify and when I arrive the battery is usually 88-83% at 8:00am.

Guess what, I'm lucky if the battery has some juice when I get home at 4:30pm. The SOT is always between 4 to 4.30 hours.

the screen and phone idle are taking the biggest %.

I don't know what to do, should I downgrade to 6.1?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] pkw168:
So I used the xperia companion, did a software repair.. still the same, phone idle uses at least twice as much battery compared to screen.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Adrian.chen:
After the oreo update, my play services drain a significant amount of battery 1314 mha.

The phone is also much hotter. I tried restricting background app data and background activities and still not improvement.

And today I could not get through a work day for the first time. Died after 7 hours in my pocket - checked the time once at work.

I am resetting the phone to try and rectify the issue.

Still having trouble even after reset. Image attached
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] tidus1ph:
The oreo update has a battery drain problem. Even with flight mode where no radio is running, the battery is still getting drained so fast. My phone is also warm like something is pushing the processor. I'm so disappointed that this update got approved by Sony. It made my phone unreliable. I turn off my phone just to save power.

I might get the Axon M if they will not fix this bug asap. I need a phone not dying when I need it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] RJASSI21:
Not sure why your getting battery drain but i had over 8 hours SOT when trying to kill the battery. I have my brightness on auto at the lowest, a dark substratum theme (Mono/Art), Wi-Fi, bluetooth and NFC are on. In the day i switched to LTE for about 30 mins then back to Wi-Fi. I also played a game for about 3 hours.

Please fix it Sony ASAP!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Lazaros_K:
With the Oreo update the battery has improved! In Nougat I got 6 hours of SOT. Now with Oreo I get 7-8 hours of SOT. Also the Firefox use was video watching. Drains less battery than YouTube.

I tried the Xperia companion yesterday & it seems they retracted the oreo update. My phone reverted back to nougat and says I have the latest firmware.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] jaseman:
Whether it is recommended or not depends on who you talk to! Some people will say it is an absolute must that you do a factory reset every time you apply a new OS or a major update, not just a monthly security patch. But I say that it is not necessary even after a major update if everything is working properly for you. The over the air updates that OEM's push out are designed to be installed without having to do a factory reset. Unfortunately many times a new version of Android breaks things, or introduces bugs and the only way to "possibly" fix them is to do a factory reset. Of course this does not guarantee it will fix the problems.

I am not an Android expert when it comes to development, but I am an IT Systems Engineer so I do understand computer systems. I have had many, many Android phones in the last ten years and maybe I am just lucky but I have never had to do a factory reset after a major OS update. Either I have just been lucky with my particular phones, or it's the way I use them...who knows???

So I stand by my first reply...if everything is working good after the update then there is no need to put yourself through the hassle of a factory reset. Now, if you want to go by what some others say...that it is necessary, or even a good idea...then knock yourself out. But I would only go through that hassle if something were seriously wrong after the update.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] LukeyWolf:
Thanks for the reply and yeah I should know to be honest I never do a reset for Windows when a big update comes out of such but I could easily backup my data if I were to anyway
