When I get into my car and my bluetooth headunit connects with my Z3, the screen decides to turn on... for no reason whatsoever. I've disabled apps, tried setting up tasker to turn the screen on after a few seconds... yet nothing seems to work.
Why is this happening? I never had this with my Z2, it really sucks when my phone is in my pocket and I just want to drive, instead I get random actions, and even at one point pocket dialed people.
I hate to reply with anything but a solution, but this is an ongoing issue for me as well. It doesn't seem like it's solvable without a custom kernel. After I rooted my Z1C and installed SlimKat, it stopped happening. Since I got my Z3 I haven't been able to figure it out at all. The closest I got was to install a custom lock screen and have Tasker check for BT Connected and [custom lockscreen] started then wait 1 ms and turn the screen off. That used a ton of battery. I guess it's a solution if you find a way to stop the battery drain. Went from 5+ SoT to less than 3 in a day.
Bumping the topic.. exact same problem. Very very irritating. Battery drains out without even my knowing it. Seems like a serious bug.
Hello. My phone has had an amazing battery for months, up to 4+ days (with little screen usage of course), but now I can barely last 30 hours with an equal amount of small screen usage.
In the battery panel I can see that Android OS and Android System is taking up a lot of the battery procentage. Here are two pictures of my latest battery run:
http://i.imgur.com/evHt2qo.png

The screen time on these was 1hr 26 min.
What I've tried:
* Disabling all sync and location service
* Clean flashed a completely new and different (!) ROM (from PA to Euphoria).
* Uninstalled all the apps I installed the last few months
Still lose my battery like crazy. I also tried to disable wake-ups and keep-awakes from google play services but that caused FC and I still think the battery got drained.
Anything else I can try?
My advice is to install wakelock detector and better battery stats and investigate whole day it should help you to find the root cause of keeping your phone awake constantly maybe it's related to kernel or some app that you use or maybe fast dormancy or something else. There is a lot of crazy **** that could cause such a drain you can also install xposed and amplify to reduce amount of wakelocks but the best thing is to install wakelock detector and better battery stats and post here logs or screenshot from this apps. Cheers

Bought the XZs for almost one month. The battery performance seems not as good as expected. It seems even worser than my old phone, LG G2. I tried to change a new XZs and the same problem exists.
Phone Idle always take around 20% of the battery use. Stamina mode is one and 2-3% is gone even the phone is not in use. The same issue even happened in safe mode. And fast charge is not fast at all...
Googled some posts and found that some people, XZ users, experienced the same issue. I have tried uninstalled Facebook and Messenger. Seems not help.
Just downloaded betterbatterystat, I hope can find some cues there later. But if anyone can advice why
You installed betterbatterystats? That requires root right? Which isn't available yet I believe... Guess we'll have to wait for root to investigate this
Seems like this is Android 7.1.1 Nougat's problem.. Is it the Android OS percentage is very high in the battery usage list? Many Nexus devices also having this problem.. My XZs can only get nearly 3 and half hrs of SOT omg, seems like the doze is not working well, saw massive of wakelocks during screen off..

nougat's problem...but seems not seeing people raised this problem in the internet , so i am still not sure if it is my own problem or not..:silly:
my top 4 usages:
screen 20% (screen opened 1hr 35min)
phone idle 16%
chrome 9%
android os 9%
the battery power dropped around 30% after 12 hours and i might just used the phone for around 1.5 hrs only.

As u can see the image I attached below, the phone is constantly waking up during screen off. It means the doze is not doing its job. Gg Nougat, my SOT hardly go over 3 and half hrs..

I don't think there's a recovery for keyaki, but maybe you can flash xz recovery, it's the same hardware.
But I'm not sure at all so prepare ftf to repair
Hey guys, after some researches and testings, seems like my XZs is having good battery life now. What I did was go to Chrome > Settings > Site Settings > turn off the Background Sync option. Now my latest full charge gives me 2hrs 43mins SOT with 49% battery left, with 1 hr gaming. Hope this helps, good luck everyone

I've been using Xperia XZs HK version for about 2 weeks.
I use an app call "Brevent" to keep background apps in standby mode when they're not active.
I think there're also some issue with Doze mode on Xperia phones, it drains battery more than I thought......
Then I found an app call "Force Doze" to force it go straight in Doze mode while I shut the screen off.
Now it only cause 1% per hour while I shut the screen off and leave WiFi or LTE on.
Or 1% per six hour while I shut screen off and keep the phone in Airplane Mode(very useful at night).
By the way, both "Brevent" and "Force Doze" does not require ROOT, but they need adb for authorizing their activities.

does it affect some app's performance after using them?? do i have to stop the sync activities??

No, it doesn't.
Brevent only kills process and prevent them from running in background while you have already swiped the app from "recent apps". It does not affect background activities of apps which are currently in "recent apps".
For those apps which requires sync service (for example, "Gmail"), you can set them to "allow sync" in Brevent.
Then these apps would be allow to sync in background periodically, instead of allowing them all the time.

cool, it really helps a lot during screen off! it just took 1 % when i wake up.
I do not have the Problem. All sync enabled, Bluetooth on, really much apps installed. At end of day 37% remaining. Its impressive. 41.2.A.0.219.

I also have the same issues and the charging being terribly slow there also isnt any double tap to wake screen so i cant turn on the screen to look at the time comfortably without unlocking the phone
Seems like the doze is not working well
So, after updating to Oreo, I noticed that my battery doesn't last long as when it was still in Nougat. I know full wipe is often the best recourse but I don't want to have to go through deleting all my apps and data and reinstalling them afterwards. That takes a loooooot of time. Anyone else who might be having the same issue? Also, any tips other than full wipe/factory reset would be much appreciated. Thanks!
i met the same issue also
before oreo, my phone battery was last long
when im gaming it almost take 6hour+ to drain off the battery
after updated it drain 40% within 2+ hours
so can i downgrade from oreo ?
somebody know what is the solution ?
Your device is probably learning how you use it (again) and I'd recalibrate the battery (let the battery die and charge to 100% with the device off)
I think you'll be back to normal after a few days
No issue here. My battery is just as good on Oreo, if not better.
Same here. Battery drains obviously faster. There's an app that obviously doesn't know how to behave with oreo.
No issues here, but I did a full wipe and start again fresh.. So far down to 42% at just on 4hrs SOT.. should easily get my usual 5.5hrs or there abouts
Guys always do a factory reset after a major update.
my battery was not good at android 7
but i flashed android 8 with newflasher
and turned on limited background activity and background data usage at app info for all of the system apps and other apps that support this feature.
my battery in android 8 has been perfect
and free ram is about 1.9 gb always

i suggest you to do that

Of course you're 100% right but sometimes it's just too much work. In any case my update settled down very nicely after 2 days.:good:
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.
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?

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

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.
It's better, I would say.

Try this app. Very comprehensive usage stats.

And don't forget to grant usage permissions via ADB for extended details.
We should post battery drain/hour and SoT.
Hi
I have the same problem. I've repare instalation by PC companion and it's still not working ok.

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?

I have noticed that always on display started to eat thru my battery when the phone is idle more than the usual I turned it off and it seems like it is still affecting me even when completely off. I have noticed that this might have happened after installing the mars suoer wallpaper but I couldn't figure how to uninstall it or get rid of it.

I was excited as there was an update today on my Poco F2 Pro (via System Apps Updater that auto-installed for 'Always on Mode'. It's now RELEASE-2.4.541-08261215 and that What's new: fix problems)
It hasn't fixed anything, whenever I use AOD my battery life halves (it always drops 5%+ in the first hour with no use - without AOD and it drops 1-2%)
It astonishes me that whoever wrote this doesn't take basic common sense into account, ie "don't check any sensors to turn the AOD on and off" - that polling prevents the device from dozing, killing battery life. Just leave the screen on as it uses a tiny amount of battery.
Give us options to turn off AOD until a notification is received, then turn it on and leave it on forever until notification is dismissed. That's what I need it for. I need to know when I have received a notification!
They might have fixed this issue, as another update was pushed out the other day (RELEASE-2.4.543-09152018)
It seems like the drain when AOD is on is much reduced compared to the previous versions.
I'll know fully after a charge/discharge cycle but it's looking promising.
Hey guys, here are some advices to you to have better battery. I have 10h sot or 1,5 day with gaming.
First, DONT use super or live wallpapers.
Second, go to settings, security, fingerprint, and turn off the last option (i use my phone in portuguese, but it should be something like "show fingerprint icon when you touch or rise screen").
Third, go to settings, lockscreen, and turn off "rise screen to wake" and "double tap to wake"
Fourth, dont use automated cache clear and dont clear your cache everyday. Just do it once a month because android will use battery to rebuild cache
