Battery percentage fluctuation - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
So i noticed that sometimes my battery percentage will drop 2% at a time for example, its 80% and then suddenly 78% ?
Also one time it increased 1%, i thought i might be imagining stuff however i verified it in the battery chart ?
That battery drainage seems good and am getting anywhere from 4.5 sot to 6+ sot(if the mra bug doesnt hit which it usually does)
* i noticed that sometimes if i turn off the wifi from the drop down quick shortcut, then i check the wifi from the main settings i will find its still ON ! Again i also verified it will stay on from the battery chart if i dont turn it off manually from the main settings, so beware.
Hopefully sony will do thier homework with android M

As far as I'm aware Battery percentage is a calculation depending on the status of your phone. So it's not 100% accurate and can fluctuate

This happened to me too! I left the battery runs out completely and so far has not happened again! I'm noticing that this android is sucking the battery very fast, as well as in the Z2 and Sony fixed. But I think that Sony will not correct this in order to be out a new android.

my xperia z2 battery percentage is fluctuating from 100% to 39% then again it rises to 70% plz help me out in solving this problem

App that can record battery status

I need an app which can record battery status against time and also tell me what has caused the drain at a particular point of time. Is there any ? Please advise.
I need that as I am facing a weird issue where my battery drains till 60 normally and after that it suddenly falls to 30 and from then again it goes on normally . It happened twice and I am worried about what is causing this ..... any idea ?
Battery Graph will display battery usage but as far as i'm aware it won't tell you what app etc...
I think there is one called Juice Plotter although I'm not sure how much more information that will give.
The stock Battery Usage thing in the Settings/Status will help with what percentage of the battery has been used up until that point. e.g. if you are on 60% then it will display a percentage of that 40% that app has used.
e.g. 25% (screen), 10% (cell standby) etc etc!

[Q] Xperia X10 Mini Pro Battery Issue

Hello all
i recently brought a new battery from my mini pro, its a 3.6v 930mAh,
heres where i got it from
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270802890547
i read of most post that people are getting around 24 hours to sometimes 48 out battery life,
i have fully charged this battery while the phone was turned off to 100% and then cleared the battery stats
the battery lasted me 8hrs 49min untill it hit 2%
my settings are low no background data, display set to 50% brightness, advanced task killer to kill running apps etc...
i used it to minimal 10min wifi, 5 min call and 6 text and thats all,
my question is that am i getting ripped off? what are other users getting from there mini pro
or am i charging it wrong?
the seller claims its genuine sony erricson battery
i have a same problem with u...
but my battery is 960mAh
ever try xrecovery function> wipe battery cache?
yes i have but theres no difference,
might buy a higher mAH and see if it improves the battery life, it can also be the ROM itself,
i read few issues that some custom roms drain battery life, dont know if thats fully true

[Q] Super Fast Crazy Battery Drain on Cyanogenemod 11 Nightly Solution Needed

I just installed CM 11 on my xperia V but then I'm experiencing this terrible super fast battery drain. It's been 3 days. The first night I installed it it drained my whole battery while I was asleep. Usually standby time is great before I installed CM 11. Maybe its because of the sony stamina extended standby mode thingy. Last night, I reckon that it's probably because of the background process and the wifi, so I reboot the phone (so that all apps are killed) and didn't turn on the wifi. It eats 7% of my battery. Dafuq???
So, I checked the battery stats and 82% of my battery is used on android system. Then, I turned off location access. Brightness is at its lowest. It was on aeroplane mode. Bluetooth is off. I underclock the device to clock only at 1 ghz and i clear all recent apps. Only the wifi is turned on. I only left it for half an hour without even touching it but my battery went down from 100% to 93%.!!! Can you imagine?? This sucks. Can anyone please help me with this issue? Imagine after an hour my battery would be at 80%. That means i can only use the phone for 5 hours!! That is without any connectivity at all with slow processor and low brightness. If I were to push it to the max it would take maybe 2 hours of usage. I uploaded the battery stats included with this thread.

Wakelock battery drain [Need Help]

Hello, guys!
I have a problem with my phone for the past few months and after clean flashing 7.0 Nougat it's still present.
My problem is that when I'm home, my phone drains not even few percent of battery. Specially when I'm sleeping, I can go to bed with 100% battery and wake up with 98-99%. BUT when I'm out, specially when I'm working since my work involves a lot of walking the battery just drains like hell and I mean like 7-10% per hour considering I don't even use the phone. Sometimes I will have 30min to an hour of screen-on time and after 10 hours of work I will be home with 15% of battery left.
Now I know that this is mostly to some rouge app that keeps my phone awake and drains my battery but I'm not really sure how to pinpoint it.
I will provide my stats from Bettertbatteystats and WakelockDetector if you guys can help me.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I just want to explain that the straight line on the first picture with the batter drain graph is when I went home and left my phone on the table for about 3 hours. You can clearly see that the difference in battery consumption during my phone being in my pocket and on the table.

Maybe you are in a poor service area when you're at work, poor signal drains battery pretty quick because the device is constantly scanning and searching for better signal.
Or
You're using one or more social media apps such as Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.. These apps are constantly running/scanning for notifications and are well known for eating battery, especially on mid-low end and older devices because they don't have enough CPU and/or RAM to keep up efficiently. Judging from your screenshots, I would say that this is your issue.

Question Xperia 5 III Standby battery drain

Hi, I'm experiencing a standby battery drain on my Xperia 5 III. I've just bought it, it's updated to A12, did a hard reset and software repair with Xperia companion. I lose around 1.5% per hour, around 12% per 8hours of sleep. Whether I have SIM popped in or not, GSam reports Mobile radio constantly working and it stops only if I turn airplane mode on.
I have Stamina mode on, 60Hz only, turned off mobile data always on in developer settings (although it shouldn't matter when SIM is out), smart connectivity is off, everything else I found that could be battery consuming I turned off.
Is there anything else I can do, besides flashing it again with Xperia companion? Or is this normal for this phone?
I suspect you're going to struggle to get a reply from someone that's performed this same test. My phone was charged to 90% 4.5h ago. I've used it for web browsing for about an hour since it was removed from the charger. I've never used Stamina mode. I have 120Hz display on. I use the Always On display with the clock and a graphic. Screen brightness is at 50%.
Battery is at 74%. I have done zero investigating about what has been draining the battery, as it strikes me as normal usage based on my experience with Xperia and Huawei phones.
I think you are right, the user base seems to be much smaller than I thought.
Luckily, my battery drain has improved, last night it drained only 0.90% per 7h of sleep, putting a SIM card in and turning Stamina off helped, it makes no sense but it fixed it. If I'm not wrong, as per GSam, my phone also went only into a deep sleep and never into light sleep, now it enters both.
I find that after a reset or an OS version update, the Xperia phones take a week or so to sort themselves out. I don't know if it's optimizing in the background or what. I have noticed this since my Z5, which I bought 5 years ago.
t an update today on my 5 III and after updating I have significantly better battery life and lower overall temps.

ive been using my xperia without a sim and the battery life is also terrible. i havent switched from my old phone yet.
is the battery life better on the android 12 update?
I can't comment on 11 vs 12 usages as I didn't use my phone on 11,only 12, but others already reported improved battery life on 12.
My battery life significantly improved after 2 weeks. I did recalibrate my battery, two times drained it to 0% and charged until 100%. I did apply all the battery-saving tips and tricks available and suspended whatever system apps I could. Depending on the usage, I could reach 7-9h hours SOT easily, probably even 10 with stamina turned on. Updates really helped this phone in every possible way. IDLE battery drain was the worse thing with it and now it varies from 0.20 to 0.70% per hour. Remember to close all the apps when you don't need them,.
In the developer options you can restrict the background processes. Had 4, now 3 selected.
My apps notify me reliably, I do not notice any difference, but the consumption in standby is only a third as high.
Everything else did not work for me.

Important, you have to set this Option after every reboot.
