My google pixel is heating u der normal usage. Sometimes i just browse the net or watch some videos and the device gets heated up. I tried using greenify for killing the background processes but it didn't work. Sometimes the peak temperature rises upto 46°C. I also tried factory reset but looks like there was no use doing that. Also I've restricted the background data usage for many apps like the spotify beta and facebook. Under normal usage means using only one app the temperature reaches upto 36°C. Can't really understand what the problem is. Plz help.

Mine is usually in the 30's to 40's. Unless it is hot to the touch you are probably good.

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.

i am new to sony phones. I heard that it is difficult to root sony's phones. so we do still have some ways to root xzs in a bit later time? :fingers-crossed:

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..

unlock bootloader ( tutorial by sony them selves)
and flash recovery, super su and you are rooted.
simple.
WARNING backup TA partition before unlocking BL
otherwise you'll loose drm and stuff

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

let me try! btw, do u disable auto-brightness?
but disable a lot of the services looks like the smartphone not that smart at all
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
I don't understand this feature at all. After reading this article http://www.xperiablog.net/2020/06/01/xperia-1-iis-hs-power-control-feature-bypasses-battery-charging-to-maximise-gaming-performance/ I thought it will allow me to play games for as long as I want without depleting the battery. I've tried charging with this feature turned on 2 times now, and both times the battery level was dropping., so where's that battery degradation reduction they write about?
Furthermore, H.S. power control supposedly prevents the battery from charging, but during both tests, Franko Kernel Manager was showing that the battery was charging, not in a usual way though. Speed was going back and forth between charging rapidly (as fast as 6000 mA) and charging slowly (as slow as 12 mA).
"Limits performance reduction and battery degradation caused by device overheating during charging. The battery doesn't get charged when this feature is on. Turn off this feature when charging". So you launch a game, go through the game enhancer's features, and see this confusing AF wording, which tells you the feature prevents overheating while charging and gaming, but at the same time tells you not to turn it on while charging and gaming.
I use this feature when navigating. I was happy that it's not only available for games. Worked well. At least battery level didn't changed after some hour drive. Didn't checked it with Franco kernel Manager.
You selected the App and the colored bar appeared when App was in use?

I've spent quite some time on customizing the phone, installing apps etc. so I'd rather not start all over again. Unless there won't be any custom ROMs for a very long time...
it is a bug. if you still have problem. or other people have a problem there a way to fix it without factory reset. if your phone running android 12 or android 11. BUT not lasted firmware(of the android version.). try to download lasted version of Game enhancer(i recommended version 7.x.x instead version 8.x.x, because it more stable on 7, but if you rooted or can install subsystem apk, you can go with lasted version and i more recommended to do so to get more feature), subsystem and monitor apk from apkmirror, dont worry all app have same Game enhancer logo. if you have android lasted android 11 or android 12 firmware, only download Game enhancer and monitor app, as subsystem has been set to persistent app. and cannot be updated. if you are rooted download all app i mention and install as system app then reset your phone. im using xperia 1 ii with version 7.0.A.1.20 game enchaner as my original version came with my firmware have bug and H.S does not work as intended. whoever updated it does fix the problem(you can see with most battery monitor app that charging switch from -x/+x to null or 0) whoever not installing subsystem and lasted monitoring app from cause :
1.powersaver or balance does not effect anymore(but switch to Power save allow phone to use 600-700mah more often, and performance while have same usage sometimes spike to 1000mah sadly the display stay at 60hz, this is not intended as using original app power are limitied to 400-650 while average around 480mah with 40hz display)
2.while congrats you can streaming from you phone now, unless subsystem installed you may only have 1 chance to screenshot thumbnail until you reset user data. as importing image or re screenshot not working without newer subsystem. but at least all stream function working fine as i test it for 1 hours nonstop(just make use you have atleast 20-30mbps UPLOAD as lower than that cause stuttering on youtube even on 480p stream)
3.it may or may not disable/bypass thermal throttling while gaming(cant confirm but on my phone using original apk will give me around 280gips max then down to around 160 or 180gips under 5 minutes while using update version will stay more than 300gips, on CPU Thrttling, same as 3d mark, while normal benchmark average, extended test will have better result than most xperia on same model with 99.5% stability and score around 1108 to 1106 from loop 1 to loop 4 with identical performance range from loop 1 to loop 20)
4.recording no longer work on sdcard as they change folder name and older subsystem still using older name, it just keep asking permission
5.on stream and record menu. there option for capture card. it does nothing, even installing another backend app. like audio app from G.E and other app, it still wont work, unless you are rooted and install all backend app as system app, whoever fearnot, you stil can stream your content via type c to hdmi like normal, but dont except you can get audio bypass or settings like xperia 1 IV have,
*again point 3 is unclear as for me performance from older bencmark are deference than now, but it is from era android 11, i can be sony fix thermal issue and performance from firmware and not this trick, but it does effect mine since i can just remove update and see instantly the deference and it may can on your xperia too
*i said both monitoring/monitor app and subsystem app. because it called that but apk file name uploaded as sony multitasking function and GE subsystem
here a proof for point number 3, and not it not with any mod(no fan cooler but no case either with H.S enabled)
Hello,
You can add custom apps to H.S. Power Control right?
Only supported apps or ALL apps installed?
Does that also work if you turn the screen off? or does the phone start charging as soon you you turn the screen off?
It's 22 degrees Celsius outside. The phone is kept at 35 degrees Celsius (thanks to magisk module, Temperature is no longer 40 degrees)
But there is a problem: due to overheating, the photos are not copied to the cloud. Is there any way to force it to upload everything to the cloud?

Thanks to the mod you're using, NO. lol
Well thanks to the thermal module some processes are stalled... So maybe stick it in the fridge. In general I've seen lots of issues with thermal mods, phone won't function properly.
