[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] jaseman:
I disagree 100% with the need to do a factory reset after an upgrade! What, are we on version 2 of Android??? By this time, and with what we pay for these devices (and don't think that the software is free because it's NOT) and with the fact that they have become essential tools for most people, we should NOT have to do a factory reset every time a new(er) version is released and thereby forced upon us! It is up to the OEM to test these things thoroughly to make sure they work as advertised and expected. I do not have an entire day to devote to getting things set up correctly every time this occurs. If the OEM's do not want to test things properly then they should give us the option of installing at our own risk, and not mandating the upgrade.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Zewarxx:
I agree with you guess my battery is way better now, keeping in mind I have lifelog app and live wallpaper running in the background the whole day, I love 30% since the last time I charged, 6 hours since I unplugged the device and I have 1,30 hours screen on. Oreo is perfect ?

How did you set the limitations of the apps' background activities?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ashkan.t:
go to setting > apps > app info > touch 3 dot and choose show system > touch on every app that you want to limit it then go to > battery > turn off background activity

for limit background data instead of battery choose data usage and turn of background data

i suggest you to turn off these for all of the apps
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] MacSeoin:
It's not mandatory, you could just press cancel ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Sebi673:
Lobotomizing your phone like that beats the purpose of having latest n greatest functionalities from an OEM / Android. Although I wish there was a wakelock adjustment as a default setting w/o root. It all comes to personal preferences. I only limit background activities to apps I almost never use and I let the rest do their thing cause I like some of the google services and also some tasker profiles require a frequently updated context .

As for RAM, it is meant to be used and now android is smart enough to adjust the resource consumption on it's own without the need of a app killer which does a lot more harm.

Needless to say Google Assistant keeps on pushing it's Ok Google Anytime function down our throats. It's now easier to accidentally activate it and they did nothing to optimize the power use of that thing. I tried it thinking maybe it's usable now. But it actually managed to overheat the phone leading to ~10% battery drain/hour (just because i had tv shows playing and it was comparing the dialog to the hotword). Not 'Ok Google'.

Sooo make sure you have that disabled. Otherwise you're in for a nasty surprise in loud environments.

My battery was at 96% at 4pm yesterday, this morning at 5.30am it was 15%. This is crazy drainage, I used it sparingly yesterday afternoon, it was at 60% by 9.30pm (bedtime). I didnt touch from 9.30pm to 5.30am. 45% drainage with absolutely nothing running. Thats nuts. Has the battery gotten anyway back to normal for anybody? Or is there a fix without factory resetting the phone?

Excellent! The same like my XZP... [emoji23]

I've back to the Nougat immediatley!

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Sebi673:
Oreo works as advertised here.... No need to go back to Nougat. Clear data for google services, google, google framework, make sure you don't have the always on voice recognition for google assistant.

Here are some battery usage screens for the past days. I've played a lot with some automation software, intense substratum themes testing, high brightness, youtube and bluetooth music which leads to a daily ~3% discharge and some intense sessions at night leading to 7-8%.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] chesterr:
Does Substratum eat battery idle? cause today of all, out of no where I had a battery drain 100% to 87% in 6 hours and 15mins :rolleyes:

I did reboot the phone after applying the theme though. But after doing another reboot it somehow stopped draining.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Sebi673:
That usage was from testing a lot of themes. Today I haven't touched the app and i only have some partials from a theme enabled. Battery usage for the app is now 0.06%. while trying the themes I noticed some of them force closing a lot of apps and giving some weird behavior so that could've been your issue. Or backup services running on wifi-connected. Regardless. so far there's solid battery performance. Nothing wow but giving sony update track record, it could've been much worse.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] iArvee:
Do note that a factory reset does not fully clean your system files. I found this out when I did a factory reset back on my Z5 (I had an issue with a system mod). Performing a software repair using the Xperia Companion, however, does clean your system files.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] chesterr:
Yea cause today morning it's 2% after 7hrs of idle time. :highfive:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Sebi673:
Damn.... Impressive..... I'm using quite a few automations in the backgroun so I need to test the idle behavior. I always try to pack maximum functionality with manageable battery consumption. Really miss Xposed Fw :(

Anyway what do you do for that 2% performance?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] chesterr:
LOL I said it entirely wrong. It only dropped 2% :p :silly:

Left the phone 100%, woke up in the morning and I have 98% of battery left.

Yes I miss Xposed too, Plus I really want to root so I can get rid of useless apps like AVG so I get little bit of storage and battery.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Sebi673:
I asked the right question haha. I always charge it before going to bed but still 2% during night is impressive. I'm curious on what you did to have that low usage. I mostly miss xposed for the extra functions that made my previous phone a true powerhouse.... Also for wakelock control, etc.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] paullu:
Yes I feel after updated battery go fast and also I have one more iusse see the picture I attached. It happened several times already
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Rasada:
I updated my XZ Premium via OTA official update to 8.0 oreo and before the update my SOT was around 5 and half hours now its even near to 6 and half hours. I did not perform hard reset or clean install just did it via ota . I like the features in the new upadte and they are better - the settings from oreo are brand new and better, new camera features including burst mode and camera lens distortion correction option in the app. Just the phone idle process shows higher usage percent its like 18 percent of the total battery usage and the screen is like 22 persent - but the overall battery life is better - i was thinking to do a full hard reset or software repair thru pc but i read people done that and the usage of the phone idle process reamins the same

1. Clear Cache and Data of the Phone App

2. Clear Cache and Data of the SIM Toolkit

3. Fix Using Custom Recovery

4. Do a Factory Reset

or if that doesnt help install the patched version of google phone [you can find the app here in xda forums] and make it the default phone app and uninstall and disable the stock version of the phone app via adb

Thanks :) once it stabilized after the update it can stay around 1-2% drain. But I hope I'll have time for a controlled environment testing. But so far so good. :silly:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Sensination:
I had the same issue with battery drain overnight but did the "software repair" via PC Companion and now it works like charm! 1% of drain after 8h!

Someone mentioned it earlier but please remember that "factory reset" and "software repair" are totally different and you should always use software repair if you have this kind of issues.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] peetsroops:
I done the Android update version 8 oreo on my xz premium. After it did the update,the phone did not read my Sim card n the phone Mal functioned most applications like location that allows you to switch on n off was grayed out n entering pressing numbers were slow. I had my phone replaced. So it's asking to to the update. Should I?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] jaseman:
Sure, why not? It's the only way to tell if it will work.

I am curious though that you replaced the other phone because of problems after the update???

Did you try a factory reset, or better yet a software repair using the xperia console?

Those navbars are wicked! Mind sharing the theme? :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] kanej2006:
I would say the battery in Oreo is on par with Nougat, struggling to see any difference, was good before and after the update.

As others have said, if the battery is performing poorly, do the following:

1 - Perform a full factory reset

2 - Try to observe battery or use battery stats to see if there is a bad/rogue app causing battery to drain

3 - Perform a battery calibration. Use the phone until battery is completely depleted. Charge phone to 100% and turn on

4 - Should the above 3 do not work, do a full wipe/format/cache/dalvic and reinstall rom from scratch.

As for myself, for heavy use I get 24 hours or slightly more with 6-7 SOT. This is with around 30% screen brightness and Stamina Mode turned off. Otherwise for average/medium use I will get 2 days guaranteed with 20-30% remaining battery. With extreme light use I can get three days battery.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] lordgoata:
Mine

had

been fine since I upgraded to Oreo, then last night the Android System drain kicked in out of nowhere, and its draining 30% in 2 hours just sitting there. Even with Stamina mode enabled last night, it drained just as quick.

Android System is always top of the usage list. I only have a few apps installed compared to when I was on 7, as I always factory reset after a major update to clear all the unused apps I have accumulated.

I let it die and left it off while charging last night, and its the same this morning :(
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] PLiPhaze:
Has the latest security update made any difference?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Genani:
Sadly the update didn't help. My screen of drain is at 40% at the end of day according to accubattery.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Elmerto:
I got exactly the same problem are there any solutions so far?

How can it be that there is such a major problem and Sony isn't fixing anything?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Scodd:
I had this on my X Performance. Last night I used the so-called Xperia Companion to back up phone and then repair system. After a couple of times when the Companion refused to connect and I thought it may have bricked phone, it managed to get itself connected. Then I discovered that the Companion would not restore from the backup I just made. Grrrr. Have had to set everything up again from Google. The great news is that the battery issue is fixed.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] tdamiani1965:
This appears to be an Android issue and not a Sony issue. Many people, across several different phones, are complaining about battery drain since the Feb update. Does not appear to be anything about it in the March update either.

Android 8.0.0 problems on Xperia XZ premium

There is a serious problem if updating XPERIA XZ Premium with Android 8.0.0 causing GPS and Location services to be on all the time and draining battery fast. Once you install Android 8.0.0 no longer mobile display Icons for GPS and Location Services and user is unable to switch OFF or ON as indicated in user manual. This is serious error on part of Sony indicating updating was not tested fully before release and to make situation worst it is not posible to downgrade update to original factory android version. Sony know of this problem but has no solution at a moment.

Finally found the solution. Enter settings, and then find Permissions, then click on Body sensor permission and then, turn off Google play services. The battery is much better now.

Automatically turn on your speakerphone.

While the application is running, when an incoming call is received, the speakerphone of your device will automatically turn ON when you receive the call.

You can also automatically activate the speakerphone when you are making an outgoing call by checking the Outgoing ON in the menu.

It should work on smartphone and PocketPC WM5/WM6

I've tested it on my T-Mobile Dash WM6 and worked fine

Buy Me a Cup of Coffee

Change Log v1.06 DOWNLOAD v1.06

- fixed bugs (hope it works on other devices now)

HKCU\Software\SpeakerPhone\Auto with value = 0

HKCU\Software\SpeakerPhone\Delay with value = 5000

HKCU\Software\SpeakerPhone\USB with value = 0
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sabestian:
Thank you!

Finally one switcher that really works!

All other apps (including Phonealarm profiles etc) switch the speakerphone on only if you switch it DURING the call (unless I'm doing something wrong that is). This one works nice. I have a question though, is it possible to set 'outgoing ON' to ON by default?

AND, is it possible to start it in the background (I'd like to run it automatically when the profile changes)?

Any command line parameters? Changes in registry?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gps-lover:
Great program! Thank you!

It would be great to have the "Outgoing ON" restored in the last state.

Also, would it be possible to design it in a "Toggle" way - to turn the speaker ON with the first launch, and OFF with the second? Then it could be possible to put it on a hardware button as a speaker switcher...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmz:
I love your app. Makes things quick and simple. I was wondering if you could add something to it. Alot of times people are doing things with both hands. It would be great if you could set it for auto answer after two to three rings of course coming on with your speaker phone then after your conversation, auto end. After the other party hangs up. Giving it two to three rings before auto answer would give you the option to hit the ignore button. Love what your doing with the Wm5 and 6 apps. I'm using an htc touch 6900. Thank you. TMZ
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] naboleo:

Oldsap,

Any way to prevent speakerphone from coming on when using bluetooth earpiece?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] firekid324:
Dear oldSap:

V.1.06 works well on my HTC diamond, but I can not tell the situation apart if the other side accpet my outgoing call.

When I make a outgoing call, speakerphone will not turn on until the other side answer. I think if it can automatically turn on when I press "TALK/SEND" key, this function will be much better.

Thanks for your thoughtful consideration on the application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
ok, so you only need the speakerphone to turn on after you press talk/send on an incoming and outgoing call?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MandyFA:
oldSAP (pare), it doesn't work on my BA XDA IIs (WM6.5 Build 23004 WWE R7.1). I hope you could fix it, pare!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] firekid324:
Dear oldSap:

Not only turning on after Talk/Send pressed, but also after the other side answers. I just want to also hear the ring or voice message based on your application berfore the other side answers me. Of course if someone answers, the speakerphone still turns on.

I think it must be a well utilization to combine this fucntion with your original application when we drive. Becase someone turns off his phone and I don`t know, I make the outgoing call, I must get nothing about the situation due to speakerphone off. If speakerphone can automatically turns on after Talk/Send pressed, I can hear the voice message or determine when to hang up by hearing 'the ring".
