I understand that many people have battery problem with nexus 5 due to the camera app running in the background with skype or other apps that uses the camera. I dont use any of these apps and recently i am barely getting 2.5hrs screen on time(SOT) where just before a couple of weeks i was getting almost 4.5-5 hrs SOT. its a huge drop. I assumed it was a rouge app that i must have downloaded that is using up the battery so i factory reset my phone and have only reinstalled several apps such as facebook and whatsapp and several others but even today i only got 2hrs and 30 mins of SOT.
The battery setting shows the android system and the screen using most of the battery. Is anyone else facing similar issue? or if you can suggest me what I can do to fix it, I will be very thankful.
ps. i am running stock rom with stock kernel (not rooted)
thanks in advance
Normally I'd suggest installing BetterBatteryStats and see what is keeping your device awake, but it could be your sync settings/frequency, radio signal strength, and etc that are the culprit.
Factory reset again and install only updates for stock apps. Leave all other 3rd party app off your phone for 24hours. Use the phone as a phone, rather than a social and gaming platform for that amount of time.
See if you get better life at that point. If so, then it's at least one or multiple apps that you need to monitor closely. Best way is to get your baseline as I suggested, and then install apps one-by-one to find the issue.

If using the device stock with only stock apps doesn't increase your battery life the problem could be hardware related too.
The first N5 which I ordered the day it launched had the battery life fall to almost half
I tried everything I could think of, flash stock, factory reset, dim brightness, disable everything, only use 3G nothing worked.
then the earpiece started to go, called google for a RMA and the new device works perfectly
with the same apps installed I'm now getting 4 - 4 1/2 hours of SOT when I was lucky to get 3 before, usually 2 1/2
Seems battery had a hardware issue as well, I had been chalking it up to software battery drain issues, but it was definately hardware in my case.
Without screen shots from gsam or something, anything but the stock battery usage section in settings.....we're all just guessing here.

Faulty Battery sells often do get into the production line and its very common as OP has no pics we cant determine weather is software or hardware related
If anything send it to Google for RMA or LG for a replacement battery

Same problem i had in the past with Nexus 5 . We cant say that it is a hardware or a software related.MIGHT BE OR MAY NOT BE.
Its better to factory reset again and install all apps one by one to find out the actual reason only updates for stock apps leave all other apps for the time being.Turn off your Bluetooth and use your phone as a phone only, for a while.
I am facing a huge battery drain while on standby in my Xperia XA. .
Its draining around 35% - 45% overnight doing nothing! Anyone else having the same issue ?

Is stamina mode on and set up properly, is background data disabled. Auto sync, location in GPS instead of battery saving ect are all things that will drain battery try doing a factory reset or software repair both can work wonders when you have problems. It's more likely one or a combination of the above and to much running in the background

Tried factory reset and checked all of the above settings things seem a bit better now. Meanwhile checked in Sony forums, there seems to be a WiFi bug which is causing this. Someone from Sony has also acknowledged this. Hopefully this will be resolved in a software update.

Yeah I Saw that gonna be fixed in a update, wifi always scanning needs to be turned off till then, how are you finding the xa apart from that seriously looking at replacing my M2 with one in a couple of weeks I just hope it doesn't get left behind being a mediatek powered Xperia if I get one.

The overall performance is above average given the near stock Xperia UI. Maybe its not as good as SD 650, 615 series, but it still is manageable. Few sour points like free space is very less, 2GB RAM(but RAM management is pretty good), battery life and lots of bloat in my region atleast. The camera and the display are the plus points. Even though it has a 720p, colours are more vivid and sharper than most phones. The brightness levels too can move from very low to very bright.The design feels premium too with the edge to edge screen. Finding a tempered glass to cover the entire screen edge to edge is bit difficult though. I would suggest go for XA Ultra if possible.

My network only do the x,xa,m4,z5,z5c and z3 i was going to get the x but even on a contract they want to much a month and expect me to pay towards the device(not gonna happen) which leaves the xa as this would be a free device or a honour 7 also free which looks good but I don't like the ui and no app drawer and the xa spanks it in antutu benchmarks and I'm a Sony fan anyway just gonna take some getting used to not having root as I refuse to unlock the Bootloader on a Xperia device and lose all the things you buy a Xperia for to root it. Next two weeks can't go fast enough

Agreed. Its best to stay away from Honor. Here in my country XA Ultra is not even available and Xperia X with inferior specs is more expensive than the Z5. Certainly this is what's wrong with them. They are talking about de-focusing from certain markets. Don't really know where their focus is. Hope they get things sorted out. Their design is just so good. Its so ironical.
I wait for an update to fix the problem !

Yes I have already done this. WiFi is still draining the battery but it's weird the battery is getting better day by day.
Its lasting for more than 24hrs with moderate use now with around 4hours of SOT. The only difference was that I have inserted sim cards. Previously there were no sim cards. Could that be the reason behind the drain?

It probably didn't help the situation having no sim card inserted. The more you use it and charge and discharge the battery the better it will get it may take a week or could take a few weeks to reach its maximum screen time ect. 4hrs sot ain't to bad for a device twice as powerful as the m2 with the same size battery more or less. I usually get between 4.5-6hrs sot depending on how I use it on my m2 I'll be expecting at least 4hrs sot when I get mine on a stock device that is. More than that on a rooted device if root is available that is. I looking forward to getting this device to be honest even if it is a mediatek powered Xperia

Yes the battery has settled after a couple of discharge and charging cycles. :good:
Yet the whole threat is useless.You cant change how the battery / OS is acting, WITHOUT unlock and root access even new custom rom.I lost like 2-3 days in searching for solution of my problem , to find working guide to unlck the bootloader.
The only possible method to save your battery is by using GREENIFY. Using it on my htc phone for like 3 years, with personal score of 30+ days without recharge (STANDBY). Greenify works on root device, that cant happen on this phone ,yet.
PS: i've used some tools like - http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/imei-verification/1d2ac140b78501316d82b5e787350b76/, Flashtool, without luck.

Utter rubbish, and this device is still to new development takes time and someone who knows how to build working recovery ect. If this device has drm-verity which i do believe all new Xperia device's have since z3+/z5 locked Bootloader root will not be possible unfortunately. I'll know abit more when I get mine next week hop, my current M2 device is heavily modified but it doesn't look good for locked Bootloader root from now on.
I am starting to think that there are some other issues here other than wifi. I think the phone struggles to hold/find signal as my cell standby usage seems really high to me. I've noticed that when at home and the phone is on wifi my battery seems to last for ages. Its the second highest user over the screen.

My battery hardly reaches 3 hours onscreen, normally just more than 2 hours with very little usage, just facebook and around 15 minutes of boom beach over wifi. Even when I've already turned off the wifi scanning it still drains a lot idling. So I don't think turning off wifi scanning is the proper solution to this at all.
And yeah I think hpsauce37 has a point since I've been experiencing really weak mobile signal that leads to disconnecting my call automatically sometimes. And the mobile signal indicator just stands there at 2 bars at the same spot where my Xperia P shows a full bar.

U got 2 options to dissable WIFI scan.Look at the settings.
just to share, by disabling scanning wifi the device still scans for wifi when i switched off the wifi (i know it is a bug. im running build .35)
however, i have reduced the battery drain by 30%
-uninstall facebook (which is 99% running in the background)
-activate stamina mode (always on)
-switch off location service
Hey guys, I'm having severe battery drain with my new Xperia XZ. The phone basically never goes into deep sleep and I have no idea what the cause could be. I'm on the latest firmware. These are the battery stats overnight when I wasn't using the phone.
I have the same problem with my xz
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
There must be something wrong with the software, since I'm also experiencing twice the time of phone activity than screen-on time. I have contacted Sony Customer Service and they advised me to do factory reset and since I had no time to do it lately, I can not say if it worked. If you have spare time to backup and restore your data, you should go for it. Keep me informed of results
Not here
Sorry to hear that guys.... My xz is running with the last software update also, but the battery drain during night doesn't exceed 4-5%. Wifi always on, alarm and stuff....
I have done a factory reset and used the pc program to repair the software and still android os is taking many %

Factory reset doesnt changed anything
Every time you factory reset and/or flash something it takes a while for the android OS to rebuild caches etc.
Please see how this goes over a week and then see if there are any issues.
If you still have no deep sleep or wake locks then you will need to provide logs in order for anyone to have an idea what is causing it.

No issues with battery here. When I got my phone I reinstalled the OS right away through the Sony companion. Maybe try that. Will check what happens overnight since I got the phone just yesterday.
I didn't got an issue with CPU, but my XZ battery drain over night is about 4-5% (did check and close/disable all apps and connections ) and by day use is too high (may not last a full day with facebook checking & web surfing frequently, full at 7am to 20% at 7pm ). (I did use Z1 before, and that is quite terrible cuz Z1 did last longer when it was still new)
Hope nougat update fix that :'(.
I've had the phone for just about a week, so I'll give it some time and see if it settles, especially considering my brother's Xperia XZ doesn't suffer from the same issue. Thanks. Well at least the Nougat rollout has begun.
Update:
I did Factory reset with software repair (via Xperia Companion) and after reinstalling my apps and whole night charging I saw little improvement...
My 2nd thought is "Smart Cleaner". Since I have installed some really badly made apps like Facebook, Messeneger or Snapchat, my observation is that they don't like to have cache cleaned. So I have turned it off and magically my issue is gone. Deepsleep 95% of time.
IMHO every performance improving software feature must have some issue...
does the drain fixed with new N update?
im still using MM and suffering from this prob badly

I do hope Nougat fixes it. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Very poorly holds the battery in this phone. I am almost collapsed!
Happy Xperia XZ & Z3Dual user
Despite the battery size it does what was advertised.
No root,
Not unlocked
No custom ROM
All info is stock Android N from my XZ. I can get easy 4 hours SOT through the day.
I don't bother with stamina, it's not the same since before 6.0. Just cripples performance. Huawei have somehow managed to implement stamina style features into their 6.0 ROMs. If Sony manage to do the same I'll use it again.
But then, I've had over 3 hours screen on today and still have 57% left, more than happy with that given my cell reception is never over 2 bars here.

I seem to have phone idle and Android system as my main culprit. Running android nougat. Any fixes yet? Phone doesn't seem to want to enter deep sleep
Sorry if the question has been answered before but does anyone else get a lot of battery drain due to 'phone idle'. I'm unsure whether if deep sleep not working or what but have never had this problem with any other phones I have had.

Yes, I'm definitely experiencing the same problem. I left the phone overnight and it lost almost 7% which is a lot compared to my old Z1 (only 1-2%). Other time is also similar. Sometimes, it feels like it as if actively using the phone actually uses less power than leaving it idle. Looking at the battery chart seems normal but the phone actually discharges fast on standby (sometimes I lost 25% after just 4-5 hours standby) I'm really want to know if others experience this as well and how to fix.
Yes I'm having the same problem.. Phone idle taking more drain than screen right now..
It's deffo a bug with this 7.0 update.. Hopefully it gets fixed in next update..
My battery sucks now after the Nougat update! Drains really quickly on standby. I even turned WiFi scanning off but it didn't seem to help
I am facing the same issue too
Phone idle appears at the top of the list, claiming 135 mah
While my screen states its using 49 mah
Similarly and annoyingly. Since Nougat my phone barely deep sleeps.
My phone was deep sleeping amazingly on mm. But now it barely deep sleeps. Ridiculous update which now requires me to perform a clean full wipe install of Nougat. Which currently I have no time for, hence my battery dies ridiculously fast. Annoying and not what I was expecting, this removed my excitement away from receiving the new Nougat update and instead am left with work to do to get this one back to par.
This has happened to me before on previous Sony phones when installing new ota updates. Clearly something Sony is good at.
For the OP - this is one of the best apps to determine CPU behaviour, simple and to the point. Particularly scroll to the bottom to obtain how well or not the phone deep sleeps.

Since upgrading via OTA to Nougat my device barely deep sleeps, rather it sits at 307mhz when idle. Battery gone to sh!t. Forced to do a factory reset fresh installation (when I get enough time to.)

Clean install, locked and unrooted, DRM in tact?
Still unfavourable deep sleep?
Then that surely is pointing to a inherent issue with Sony Nougat.
However why isn't everyone here with XZ Nougat complaining the same?
We need more input.
In the meantime I will need to bite the bullet and reset my phone as well and report back.

I got the same problem with you too, 7% after night, my old phone was Z1 to compare too. After update to 7.0 then back to 6.0.1 battery drain is less, but still more than normal.
I also Started to get huge Phone Idol drain (top of battery usage) after OTA update to Android 7 on Stock unrooted, Ive done a complete fresh start through xperia companion and still getting big drain from Phone Idol.
Got the same problems you guys are facing.
My phone did drain from 100% to 88% in just 2 hours (Display on: 35 minutes half brightness, phone calls 10 minutes) and its on WiFi not even mobile data. My girlfriends phone did drain about the same with 35 mins display on BUT calls of 45 minutes.
Oh and idle yeah on WiFi about 1% every hour and on Mobile Data 3%/hour.
This is really bad imho and it's been 2 times I've repaired the device via Xperia Companion. Funny about this is, that always on the first run I get a message "Firmware could not be repaired". Then I restart the whole process and it does just fine. Same with restoring images/videos.
I've started to notice my phone idle is near the top of battery usage. Initially after installing Nougat, battery life was great. Now I narrowly get 5hours of SOT. Currently at 70% and phone idle has used 19% of battery at 196mAh and SOT 1.5hrs with 182mAh. Not sure why the phone is not sleeping.

I upgrade to 7.0 again recently, and it only cost 1% per night, it's quite good . But battery consume while using is not much improvement like idle.
Facing the same problem, though i dont think its actually draining in my case, the phone deep sleeps fine but the drain with screen on is just appaling, since I got it I only got 4 hrs Max SoT thats with MM and N. It just seems that the battery generally sucks.
As of now, i have 84%: sot 23% 48 min - phone idle 20% (time on 4 h 35 min). By this it means i'll get about 3.5 hrs SoT which is normal in my case (though not good in my opinion)
I've just updated to the lastest .374 from .327. From what I experienced, the standby battery life have improved. I left it overnight and it only lost 2% (unlike 7% like before) which is probably ok for now.
Do you want to say.....that leaving the phone all the night....it lose 2% only???? I can't belive....normally it goes down by step of 2/3% for hours....so in 7/8 night you have to lose at least a 20%....minimum....
Well my battery result probably need more testing but it has never lost up to 20% per night. It would be outrageous if that happens. Are you sure there isn't anything that continuously running in the background of your phone? You could try a factory reset? Usually losing that much of battery per hour is only when the phone is actively being used, I think.
Hi to every one,
I have mate 9 (MHA-L29C185) before was in B126 and I got OTA update to B138.
before the battery life was amazing and sometimes lastest 2 days without charging but now after said update I am charging the battery every single day with the same usage as before!
could anyone please advise WHY?
No difference here after the update, or if there is it's too small to notice. I'm still getting two full days of use.
Were your battery saving settings changed by the update?
Have you added any new apps?
I had the same experience but it's been getting better. I'm still not back to 10h SOT but I can easily reach 8-9 so all's good.
I assume that after upgrading your device needs to reindex everything again and that might explain the poor battery life right after upgrading. My advice is give it a couple of days to settle down.

That doesn't look right to me. Unless you have something important running in the background your Awake time should not be much more than Screen time

Please see my battery usage details & advice
Settings > Battery > Close Apps after screen lock.
Select All.
Leave it run for a day.
I updated to the new update as soon as I took it out of the package. I was losing about 3% per hour even during deep sleep. I would go to sleep at 12 and wake up at 6 and be between 80 to 85%. My LG V20 lost a total of 1 to 2% overnight. I tried resetting the phone, playing around with settings and setting applications to close after screen lock. I then found out it was the wifi killing my battery. The next night with wifi off but data on I lost 1% overnight. Now I get about 2 full days on a charge and around 8 hours SOT.
Especially that WiFi+ sucks a lot of juice! I have it off.
Gents,
Yesterday night before I sleep, the battery was 98% I closed the mobile and went to the bed.
a morning I wake up, and the battery drain from 98% to 80% while it was STBY and no activity!
I check the consumer (see attached) and found mail was from hardware & software especially Android OS!
Please anyone can help? before I update to B138 the mobile was amazing and during the night might only drop 3-4% which is normal, not 18% now :crying::crying:
Have the same experience with 138, draining 20% over the night, my iphone 7 Plus placed side by side with the Mate 9 drains 1% over night. Have done a factory reset but still the same issue. And dont tell my to close all apps when powering down the screen - it is a smartphone and not a dumbphone. Did not buy it to kill all benefits with a smartphone and big battery
looks like some apps hogging your phone so cant go to sleep and by the looks of it wifi scanning is on which keeps the wifi module on while its off consumes more batter, also have a look at the apps with push notification or apps which run in he background. At battery management check the apps which close or not after screen lock.

Whatever they say the actualization for the B138 radically changed the battery consumption ..... up to B126 was fine.
I did not realize because in the changelog it said that it optimized the consumption of the battery, it really optimized for the worse .... huawei(Idiots) go to sleep because I should have corrected the problem, but they are sprinkling for customers, I'm going to sell mine and I do not want any more xinocas.
greetings
I dont see it getting worse. Its good for me

You're a lucky one ... from the reports I see, all malta is talking bad about this update.
Downgrade do you know how to do it for the C432 B126 Portugal? That's how it worked, because I do not understand any of this.

Granted I'm not getting 10h SOT like I did back with B126 but I'm getting 8-9h now with B138 so no complaints here.
This model has been released only 2½ months ago and I've already seen 2 firmware upgrades. They're clearly active, I wouldn't sweat it.

You can downgrade to B126 using FunkyHuawei if you wish.

If it get better or not after the update i don't really care cause in both firmwares i couldn't make the phone die in 1 day and that's what matter.
