Android OS Battery Drain on Xperia Z5 - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Android 7.1.1 on my Xperia and recently there is a battery drain on my phone from Android OS and this is currently running at 32%. Does anyone have any ideas of what this is or causing this?
Thanks

Why, that's a feature of Android Nougat! Google is so nice that they make our phones remind us to charge before the night.
But seriously, a standby drain of Nougat has always been bad. On my Z5 Premium, it's always well above 1%/h. It's something in the kernel. The only fix I know of is downgrading to Marshmallow. But hey, if anyone knows more, do let us know!

GPE 4.4.4 draining battery and with some random reboots

Hi,
I´ve been using GPE 4.4.2 for a while. It worked really good, but when 4.4.4 came out, I wanted to update it.
I did a full wipe and install of 4.4.2 afterwards upgraded to 4.4.4 and then I restores my apps.
I think I´m getting less battery life in 4.4.4 than in 4.4.2.
Also, I got a couple of random reboots during this week.
Nothing huge, but I wanted to know if I´m the only one or if somebody else is facing the same problems.
I´m on stock kernel. Does someone have another kernel and configuration to recommend for GPE? My priority is battery life.
Thanks

I'm satisfied with 4.4.4 but it's true, battery life is less than 4.4.2
Thanks, I returned to 4.4.2
When I tried aerokernel, my phone got stuck, so I decided to go back to 4.4.2
The battery drain is a problem on all 4.4.4 stock ROMs (GPe included). Motorola f'ed something up so the phone is virtually in a continuous wakelock, with the cpu stuck at full clock speed. My new phone came with the 4.4.4 update already installed, battery life is crap compared to my old one that I stubbornly kept on 4.3, which lasted 3 days in standby. The new one with 4.4.4 barely makes it to 6 hours with no use at all.
Might I suggest installing CM when the release M9 - I certainally will when (if) it gets released.
GPS issue draining battery?

I am back on 4.4.2 but I found a problem that I had in 4.4.4 also.
I normally have gps off and I just turn it on when I need to use it.
I´ve found in 4.4.2 with OSA maps and in 4.4.4 with TomTom that after I turn off the GPS, if I check the battery stats, these apps appear to consume a lot of my battery because they kept using the GPS for a lot of hours more.
Does it only happen to me?
Thanks

6.0.1 Android OS drain problem

So i updated my phone but it drains alot of battery. Android OS is draining all the juice. Now i LOVE MM but due to 20 to 15 percent overnight drain i had to revert back to 5.1.1.
Have you guys come up with any fix for this. I tried all the updates and versions of MM. Seems like 6.0.2 is gonna fix that.
You have to turn off google backup and restart the s6 and that's it.
if google backup do not help, then turn off location too
is that a checked fix for this? coz i dont want to loose my data all over again while downgrading through odin

Android OS battery drain, no deep sleep.

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

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 %

I have the same problem
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

Good point. I have to try. I have the same problem
2h SOT
Happy D6633 user
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

battery life after nougat update

Hi guys thinking of getting this device for someone , wanna know that how is battery doing now after nougat update?
For me it's worse every app that I download that I also have on marshmallow drain's battery More
The battery life on Nougat is bad. I really hope Samsung can sort it out, because I like Nougat and don't want to have to stay on Marshmallow.

Nokia 6 Battery

Hello, as you saw in the title of the thread, my Nokia 6 TA-1033 SS that is Rooted on Android 7.1.2 battery is draining very fast, and the cause of that draining is "Screen", my luminosity is at 45-40%, my standby time is only at 1 min., and the most strange thing is that Android System says that i only have approximatively 6h left before my battery goes to 0% but my battery is at 92%, and it's still draining now for no reason while i'm writing this, i precise that this happened all of a sudden. I searched the cause of this drain but couldn't find it, i'm using Greenify but nothing changes. Maybe I need to unroot my phone and upgrade to Android Oreo ? I don't know, if some of you Nokia 6 users have already faced this problem and solved it, please help me, it's really annoying. Thanks.
