Hi

My Z1C is 2,5 years old. I had a custom rom with locked bootloader. About a month ago it started to drop the battery capacity very fast. Today I wanted to speed up the drain and it took 8 minutes of GTA:SA to drop the battery from 65% to 0%. It was dropping slowly from 65% to 50%, then fast to 38% and it shut off at 38%. Then it has completely no power, when I tried to power it on only red led blinks. In normal usage it can drop from 50% to 0% in a half of hour, even when I just check the time.

Xperia Companion repair didn't solve the problem.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giriz1c:
Reflash the custom rom and check if this dont work then battery damaged u need to buy new one. Coz battery after 2years of use loses its capacity.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tau45:
I reflashed it and didn't work. Now I'm using stock rom flashed by Xperia Companion for a week and it also didn't solve the problem. AccuBattery shows that the estimated battery capacity is just 756mAh after a 0-100% charging. I think I will try replacing the battery, hope it will solve the problem, otherwise I will have to throw a fully working and still almost as new looking phone 0_o
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giriz1c:
I too had Same problem just like yours... Replacing With New battery helped me. But make sure battery is Genuine.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tau45:
Now I see that the plastic frame is deformed because the the battery has grown up a bit. I can easily put my nail between this plastic frame and the aluminium frame ;d

So I need to buy a new battery, plastic frame, back cover, USB cover, bottom speaker cover and a back protector film. I hope it's worth it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -totonio-:
If the back cover and the other things you mentioned are not damaged you shouldn't buy them.

I had the same problem, buy a new battery and a back cover sticker, with 15€ you will revive your z1c

Notice also that the phone is old, buying things worth 50€ is not a good deal :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tau45:
I bought it all for about 19€. A back cover with a sticker was same price as a sticker only so I bought it :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanflow:
Hey everybody,

I´m new here but read some very heplful post before. So now I have a real issue with my device, same like you.

My Z1c turns off when 50% of battery is used. It mean I can use my phone from 100% to 50% and then it drops to 0% or from 65% to 15% and then 0%...

I read the linked articel from androidpit.com here on xda about battery calibration and I wanted to ty it soon. I relly hope that will fix my problem...

But I´ve noticed something different too.

I dont know if you have the same issue or not but maybe some of you can help me.

I´ve noticed that when I open file commander app and tap on internal storage there are no folders... it says it´s emtpy, no foldes nor files, that´s a little bit weired I think.

And seconde thing I´ve noticed.

When I look up the storage usage in settings, android is calculating App, pictures, audio, downloads, cache data and also misc. but when its finished the misc. section isn´t there anymore I wonder if its normal or not.

In my opinion it´s not usual that the misc. section disappears.

I hope someone can help me with my issues and give me some advice to fix them.

Thanks for your help and I apologize for my bad english...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tau45:
Hi

I tried one full discharge and then a full charge when the device was powered off and it didn't work. I bought the parts from aliexpress and a local shopping website so I will get them all in a month, then I will replace them, do some tests and post the results here.

About the files, you can try another file manager or clear file commander's data. I use the MK Explorer.

Next question, you just don't have any misc files, but the system has to search them so it appears at the beginnging. If you remove all files from the download folder, it will disappear too ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tau45:
I calibrated the battery and it shuts off at 0% properly, but its capacity is still 700mAh :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tau45:
The battery I bought turned out to be 14W10, so it's older than the original one... And it is complete garbage with 100mAh capacity (power off at 95%, lol).

I need another one.

Is it possible to get a genuine battery produced in 2015+?

I found these 17W, are they fake?

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jho55:
This is only the battery capacity I think. Yes, I was wondering also because the original has 2300. But for me it is working now. :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tau45:
Hi again,

I bought a new battery, maybe it's genuine, maybe not, I'll never be sure. It looks legit anyway. It came without NFC sticker and it was produced in the half of this year. It is running well from the beginning, it took me almost two hours of playing GTA:SA on max settings with 100% brightness and GPS turned on to drop the factory loaded 43% :) The first result of time with regular usage is shown in the screenshot (stock rom):

Looks good ;) Hope my Z1C would work fine for another year or two :)

Downgrading to a 4.4.4 Cyanogen Rom cured this for me permanently. Still I am trying to find a 5.x or better Rom which has no battery issues...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanflow:
Hey [MENTION=6932042]jho55[/MENTION], does it still work fine for you?

My phone now needs definitely a new battery.

It turn off at 95%...

[MENTION=6040242]tau45[/MENTION] which battery have you bought?

When I replace it, do I need to flash the Rom again?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tau45:
I bought

http://allegro.pl/ShowItem2.php?item=7030978271

Because I could collect it in my city and check it. I had to stick the NFC sticker to this but it was no problem.

You don't need to reflash the ROM :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jho55:
It is still working for me. I also bought the following. Especially the toolkit really helps:

tools: https://www.amazon.de/wortek-Univer...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=WFD1G0EEM8P9XZS014SX

glue: https://www.amazon.de/Dichtung-Akku...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=WFD1G0EEM8P9XZS014SX

You do not need to flash anything again. If you use NFC, you need to add the antenna on the new battery. I am not using it and I will never do, so I just kept it on the old battery.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanflow:
So I just replace the battery and everything is still there. No data lost or anything?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NRG-R9T:
yes, that's right. It's as the device ran out of power completely - something you know too well. ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanflow:
I just ordered a new battery.

Hopefully I can replace it without cracking the backcover. ?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tau45:
The back cover is made of plastic, so it can't be cracked. Just don't bend it too much and you can stick it again with a new adhesive.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanflow:
Hey everybody

Yesterday my new battery finally arrived.

I changed it this morning.

Hopefully everything works fine again.

At least the backside of the phone is flat again and not bloated anymore. ??

Hi everyone

I read all posts on this topic but i have a different problem that i wanna write here:

my z1c was for my older brother. the battery dead and he changed the battery and handed to me. but after a little time the mobile began to reboot occationally 1 time a week. and it's getting worse and worse till everyday it reboot and some times doesn't turn on. just stuck in a loop!

what do you know about this problem? :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colaigor:
I'm pretty sure there is a thread where that problem is discussed. Lots of xperia users had that problem and i was digging through crash logs and stuff and found that facebook app causes problem for me. So i uninstalled it and it was ok. I also did reinstall through xperia companion just in case. Not sure where is option to check crash statistics since im on custom rom but you can find it in settings and check what crashes and uninstall it. As i said facebook was cause for mine problem it might not be yours :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paroucia:
Thank you man

i'll try what you said and will respond on this topic.

thank you:)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhythmreactor:
Wasted by design

It's all by design. Sony Z1c as does Nokia with it's 1020 crippled the OS to a degree you have to buy a more expensive model. Charging works but power drain is abnormal never recovers after a mandatory upgrade. It's all waste.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F308:
Mine Z1C was working smooth for 2-3 years then rather suddenly it lost 60% during time while I was doing CWM backup, some minutes alltogether.

Phone is running KK, rooteed and tuned a bit.

Since then I observe that drainage is twice that much than it used to be.

Worse that betterbatterystats don't show anything different than before.

Using service code *#*#service#*#* I ran battery test, it shows green, all good, 2417000 uAh.

I visited small service shop, they said that there may be hardware problem, that there is component K2 or C2 responsible for power.

Hence replacement's cost was over 100 USD I didn't go for it yet, preferred read around and discuss problem.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] underflash:
Just change your battery. Had the same problem, got new one for 15 USD from Aliexpress. Works like new phone with [ROM][official] AICP 13.1 - o8.1 - amami.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F308:
Yea. After some time of thinking I will go for it.

Not expensive and logic plus net information tells it may be the reason.

Hardware problems are "hard ware" to diagnose and here is no other option.

Damn watertight (?) phones.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] underflash:
Not really. They just advertised as such, but warranty is not applicable if damaged by water (even if all markers are white). Tested new Z1C and it was dead in 2 seconds. Baking in the oven returned it to life and I never tried water tightness again.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F308:

In normal honest World a company would be sued for such marketing bull**** but we may only dream about honest World.

I will tell if battery replacement worked in my case..
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F308:
Well.

I replaced battery some days ago.

So far device is still under monitoring but it seems that replacement fixed problem.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F308:
I think problem is over.

underflash's advice was good, my respect.

Additionally, pissed off of Google's permanent spying I froze their services and situation became even better.

Can live withouth some of their stuff, for other I found replacements.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shahnewaz:
So this seems like a common issue with old Z1Cs. I had the same problem. The battery has degraded to the point it was not holding charge anymore and suddenly dropping levels/shutting down.

Another way you can spot the battery dying is that; you will notice and ever so slight curve/flex/bump on the back of the device. The device will not sit on its back completely flush.

I have replaced my swollen battery and the device has been working well since.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanta11:
Hi All!

Here's my story. I bought my Z1 Compact in 2015. At around January 2017 the battery started to weaken. At first I experienced lower capacity than usual and later all the abnormality what other people, too.

The production date of the battery: 14W24.

I looked around on Ebay and bought another phone in February 2018. It was sold as brand new with pretty good price. I was concerned about the battery, because even in the best scenario (the seller tells truth and the device is unused) meant that the battery was about 2-3 years-old. (I guess the production of Z1 Compact ended somewhere around 2015.)

Actually, the battery was really good. I mean really good. But, surprise or not, this battery started to weaken too, just about the same time the previous did. The same process.

The production date of the battery: 14W35. So it worked well despite it was sitting more than 3 years after production.

It seems these batteries were made to operate for about 20-22 months.

Colaigor, could you share us your long-term experience with that battery you bought on Ebay for 10USD? Your first experience was good, but what happened later? I'm planning to buy a new battery and I am not sure that the so-called "factory original" ones are better with their double price than these in the 10USD range. :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colaigor:
I bought new phone in 2018 i think so i didnt use it often since then, only when testing roms and stuff. I did use it when i broke my phone for few days and i can say that battery was really good. I used it to check insta and messenger tho but i saw sometimes like 10 days of battery left, so its about as good as it gets for that capacity i think. It could still be used if i had to. Your mileage may vary due to different suplier. None of those are real sony made im pretty sure.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanta11:
I see. So, in theory, it might be good.

Yes, it's very possible that in quality there's quite a big range.

Yes, I have the same feeling. This is why I'm not keen to buy a "factory original" one.

Thank you very much for the quick reply!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colaigor:
I would buy third party branded battery too if it wasnt for my clear back mod. I saw few that had quite an increase in capacity but they had blue casing and big company name. I didnt want to ruin the looks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanta11:
I see.

Actually, now I found photos about batteries with production date of 2018. Which means there's chance to buy a relatively new one. Obviously the risk is always there.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lm089:
Just to throw in my experience: bought my z1c early January 2015. Used it regularly until March 2019, that was well over 4 years. The battery lost a bit indeed, but back then I could still squeeze up to 2.5 days of usage out of it (started with incredible 4 days!; have to admit that I'm always trying to minimize battery usage as much as I can in that I only switch on mobile data and bluetooth when I really need it, and even switch off Wifi when I'm away from a registered router so that it can't even try to find a known spot, freeze apps I don't use regularly, etc.).

I also make sure that I only charge my batteries up to 80% and then let it go down to say 15%. Only occasionally I charge it up to 100% (still do that with my OP6).

The only reason why I got me a new phone last year was that Sony ceased to send out updates a few months after I bought the Z!c, and all Lineage versions I tried since then where extremely bad with GPS signal reception, which is important for me. Other than that I would still be using it as my daily driver.

Now it's mostly lying on my desk as secondary device and occasionally for testing Android and Linux stuff (am thinking of selling it but haven't decided yet), so it's mostly completely switched off. That way the battery lasts for days on end, there's no drain, as far as I can tell.

What I mean is: treat your batteries well, and there's a realy chance they'll last for years on end. See also:

Hi again!

Thank you for the replies and sorry for the late answer!

4 years? That sounds really good! It is interesting, I thought the best way to maintain the battery is to fully charge it every time.

So, here's an update. After my last post I ordered a new battery. I had a feeling that all came from the same place, so I decided to buy the cheapest one. It was below 10USD.

I had to wait for a long time because of the virus, but it arrived this week.

I expected an unbranded one, but Sony is written on it. The production date is second half of 2016. No NFC, which is not a problem to me. In terms of capacity the first impression is excellent. :good:

2 or 3 months later I will give an update - it might be helpful for someone.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanta11:
So, if anyone is interested in it, I'm happy to report that my experience now is as good as it was when I started to use this new battery. Very good capacity. Really good experiences with the cheap battery. :good:

Now comes but a message that this phone was unexpectedly restored?

My Samsung account is not accepted anymore, although it is correct because before the factory reset I have still done a backup. A login on the Samsung side is also no longer possible?

A reset of the password is not synonymous? The bill from the phone I have and the stupid is that the warranty expired on 12.10.2017. Is it now scrap, or will Samsung help me here?

Is there another way to fix the problem?
