Battery Issues -> 32.2.A.0.224

I know I can look desperate, but this problem is driving me crazy.
My battery was good (but not perfect) in Android 6.0, but this latest update .224 is horrible! I have the same apps and the same use and with a maximum of 3 hours SoT! In one hour of normal use lose almost 10%!
Some people are having the same problem: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...ues-32-2-A-0-224/td-p/1137290/highlight/false
I did not clean install of 6.0 to 6.0.1. I just did clean install of 5.1 to 6.0.
There are people who did clean install and are having the same problem.
Someone here is going through the same problem?

Hey, I had the exact same problem as you (UK Generic) and I did a clean install as well. I had to do a factory reset after installing and it took about 2 days for the battery drainage to settle down. Yesterday I got about 4 hours of SOT. I usually get around 2.5 days of battery which is similar to the previous firmware.
Try a factory reset.

To be honest, I'm getting the best battery life I ever had out of that smallish 2,900mAh battery + power-hungry Snapdragon 810, since .224
I still don't get the battery life I had out of my OnePlus One (that thing was a beast), but it's better. I get home after work with between 25% and 35% battery left now. With Lollipop and Marshmallow 6.0, pre 224, it would usually be between 15~20% (25% on good days), same usage pattern.
The Z5 is still not a very good phone in the battery life department, and probably neve will be, but it's better now.
One important thing though: I clean-installed .224

The funny thing is rebooted the device and now improved! Yesterday I got 4 SoT easy! I believe to be some kind of bug that was draining my battery! But anyway I will do a clean install!

I turned off once and giving reboot again, but had not resolved! The system android was 9% and then increased to 14% of battery usage. Is now 6%, ie normal.

I got 4 hours 40 minutes of SOT today, from 100 to 2%. This was mainly browsing and some videos over the span of 10 hours. If I'm lucky I can get 12 hours overall but with only 2-3h screen on time, as I don't use the phone as often.
I noticed something odd today - Wifi is now showing at he top of my usage details and it shows an entire span of Wifi usage (from 19 days ago, I think that is when the phone was updated). It has no impact on the battery life but it's just odd that "screen" doesnt show on the top anymore. I rebooted and the same thing occurs.
The battery usage screen really sucks now - you can't even see if the phone is "awake" or when there was wifi/mobile signal etc.

I got over 7hours with WiFi connected, Opera browser to read wattpad and my phone still had 27%. I've just unplugged my phone 2 hours ago and used it to surfing GG+ and Facebook, 20% for 2hour and 10mins usage. So it's good or bad? This result is a little better than my old Z2.

Same thing here. I usually have up plug in mid of the day just to make sure i have enough juice to survive the night. Around 3 hrs SOT only. Even with the auto sync off and wifi scanning off. Location service is off too. I don't see why the standard stamina mode has been removed that usually prolongs battery. I have doze installed for mobile data minimized but still around 3hrs or so

I get the same WiFi bug and it's currently showing 18 days! Did you clean install the update? OTA or via Xperia Companion?

Which option do you see it?

With normal use, (browsing, social networks, videos, etc) I lose about 10% -15% per hour which I think is normal because I use it a lot. so it may last about 6 - 8 hours until it reaches 20% and I charge it immediately, I only drained the battery from 100% to 0% one time. Because I read somewhere full drains are not good for battery. Anyway if I play games, for example Need for Speed No Limits, I lose about 20% in an hour or so. so if I keep playing it will last only 4 hours aprox. maybe less. But there had been days where I almost don't use the phone and it lasts all day. So I really can't complain. But it certainly doesn't lasts 2 days as Sony said

After charging to 100%, it's gone.
I updated with OTA this time around, and not a clean install.

Got the new update promise to fix batt, did you guys update?

Without any changes on usage type (I cannot say its regular on everyday, but I can say that there is no difference between last update and and previous one) battery performance on last update is about half of the previous one! Even if the stamina mode is activated, draining is very fast on my device (z5 compact). Draining on stamina mode is larger than normal usage on normal mode (prev version). In short, this problem is very very bad on my phone. I'm wondering when this issue will be solved or this is just happened on my device?

Have to keep it in your mind.

I did clean install of .224, wipe everything. Let the battery dies completely and recharged up to 100% without stopping. I had a significant improvement in battery life!

Phone idle using a lot of battery?

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.)

It's seems the idle just stays on all the time even if the phone is being used..
Sony needs to release a patch for this asap..

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.

battery life mate 9 after update

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.

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.

I dont see it getting worse. Its good for me

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.

Try this and report if your battery life gets better

Friends,
I'm currently using H990DS from Taiwan, normally the phone lasts until 5pm (about 2h30 - 3h screen on). This happened with all my previous devices with promised good battery life like Note 4 or G2. I only installed standard apps like facebook (i know it drained battery), instagram, flipboard...
So yesterday, I did something that today, the battery improved greatly. It's currently at 49% battery with 3h15min screen on, of which over 2h45min of Clash Royale (over wifi)!
So you can try this and maybe it will improve your battery life. I know it work for me, not sure about everyone else.
Step 1: Go to https://myaccount.google.com/dashboard
Step 2: On Audio, may be you see the Audio history is Enable. Please disable it. What it does I believe is to turn off Ok Google detection.
Let's report if you have better battery after.

I will try it. Thanks

Will try as well.

I'll give it a go as well.

I'll try too, it's here to disable btw https://myaccount.google.com/activitycontrols

Day 1: No obvious change, at 50% with about 2 hrs of screen on time, just like before. Although my use case may be odd, since no matter what I've done by the end of the day my phone idle takes anywhere between 10-20% in the battery usage menu. Anyone else seeing this?

I suggest you update all the apps, clear the cache in Smart Cleaning. Then restart the phone.
If you it doesn't get better, I think you should remove the battery for 2 mins. plug it back, charge to 100%, use the phone till 0% then charge to 100% again to see if it gets better

Already done all of this previously. I guess I will try once more.

disabled it now, i'll test it tomorrow and will give my feedback in the next few days

So it's been over a week I think since the last post, I find that under my usage (medium to heavy) I get around 4 hours screen on time consistently. In the picture shown, I had around 55% battery with about 2 hours screen on time. However, what I don't get is the phone idle time battery usage. Just look in the picture and you will see what I mean. Furthermore, for half of the day, my phone is in airplane mode, which makes it even stranger. If anyone else is getting something like this or has any suggestions/requires further info, please let me/us know.

You have been using the phone for 15 hrs or more. Yes you used it for 2 hours SOT but for 13 hrs it was idle, that is why phone idle is the biggest battery drain imho. Anyway try using the mart cleaner, it may help reduce idle time battery usages.

Sot is a horrible reference point. You could be using maps in with the screen off, streaming music with the screen off. There's all kinds of things while the screen is off that can consume battery. If your phone can get you through most of the day without a charge you're good. Stop putting so much emphasis on sot..

You have been using the phone for 15 hrs or more. Yes you used it for 2 hours SOT but for 13 hrs it was idle, that is why phone idle is the biggest battery drain imho. Anyway try using the mart cleaner, it may help reduce idle time battery usages.

My point was that Android 7.0 nougat and updated doze have been giving people great standby times, like 1 or two percent gone overnight, without airplane mode too. Compared to my experience, that seems massively different. I was simply wondering if what I had was normal for my LG V20.

Sot is a horrible reference point. You could be using maps in with the screen off, streaming music with the screen off. There's all kinds of things while the screen is off that can consume battery.

Also, for most of the day, my phone is in airplane mode, just sitting in my pocket(I would say about 8 hours of the day or maybe a bit more or less), and the pictures show are similar to what I do every day, and I also use airplane mode the same way every day.

Do you have volte enabled? Lg ims is volte. If you have greenify and see lg ims waking your phone 400 times then that is your issue.

Significant battery drain with Beta 3. Anyone else seeing this ?

My typical day used to get 35-40 hours of total time (not SOT) on Nougat and if I used airplane mode at night lasted 2 work days most of the time.
with Oreo Beta3, I am getting 15 hours give or take an hour. Anyone else seeing this ? Oreo Beta2 drained faster than 7.1, but by a relatively small amount.

35/40 hours? Not a heavy user I take it? I get a full day comfortably but no more.
Installed any new apps?

no difference for me when switching from beta 2 to beta 3

I'm coming from 7.1.1 and yes, standby battery drain is much worse on OB3. I'm seeing a lot of bluetooth_timer wakelocks as one of the culprits.

It does say right on the download page that you will experience battery drain from Bluetooth

I think the battery drain issue was only with the first Oreo build. I haven't had any issues with mine.
I was on OB1 and after I went to OB2 some thing's didn't seem right so I did a factory reset and now on OB3 it's still great.

I've noticed no difference in battery performance at all. I went from 7.1.1 to OB2 to OB3 now. Device is an unlocked model (factory direct) running on Sprint, no root.

So my usage is pretty heavy, but SOT is low, mostly text/email and quick in/out.
Found the culprit. Had moved from Launcher3 to PixelLauncher, that was the hog .. and it showed up as a system consumption. Moved back to Launcher3 and I am back to OB2 levels of drain.

Forgot to mention that I run the Nova launcher with Google feed add-on and I'm a heavy user also

I'm having also a significant battery drain coming from OB2 to OB3. I haven't installed any new apps. What app would you recommend for looking for the culprit? I see everything normal in the Android settings battery monitor.

Yup, my battery life went to crap from ob2 to ob3. I noticed it immediately, i then did a factory reset which fixed the issue for me.

battery got better for me with each beta. now it's better than nougat for me.

Adb log tends to be pretty useful. I have also run top from the adb shell to get the first hint .. and then strategies vary.

Sometimes, it has happened 3 times already, I plug the phone to charge, the screen will say "charging rapidly", the message light will turn yellow. Come to check on the phone 30 minutes later and the phone will be at the same % that I left it before charging it.
Yes I made sure it was plugged and yes it said "charging rapidly". However once it's charged, the battery life in good.

No charging issues at all.
20 hours on and only down 25%.
Estimates 2 days left.
Not doing anything with the phone. Reading a little news and that's about it.
Waiting for unlock so I can dump Sprint.

Good luck getting it unlocked. There are tons of us that are unlocked in Sprint's system but we can't get it to pass UICC.

Then it's not really unlocked.
What OS?
Rooted?
Just wondering if that matters.

Oreo Beta 3. But that shouldn't matter, cause that's a security thing plus essential should have said Sprint users don't sideload and test this for us cause your phone will be borked and we aren't going to do squat for you. Hahahaha.
I'm mad, can ya feel it? Seething in the air.

Yup for me nougat battery is way better than oreo b3..

Omg it's horrible. I am getting 15 hours but 8 of those are in airplane mode wifi only at night and the rest as my second device airplane mode still but wifi and Bluetooth partial times

I am running Nova launcher and launcher3 used to crash in a short loop everyone I hit the home button before I selected Nova as default... Could it be freaking out in the background still?
