Last night before I was going to bed I have had my xperia fully charged.
When I woke up this morning the battery was almost empty.
I can't understand how that happened :S I had no programs running except maybe g-alarm.
Anyone who has an idea what could've drained my battery?
No reception or low signal from ur fone provider maybe? it consumes a lot of power getting the signal. Or your wifi is turn on.
Happened to me several times.
But I'm not sure I didn't let something run in the background. Mediaplayer for example .. skype can eat battery in minutes too.
Also I don't know what battery level I had at the evening. It was above 50%, but then with Xperia, the indicated level does not correspond to remaining time well. It drops fast after 50%.
I would love if I could close any application with red phone button. Anybody knows about software which can do it ?

are you using fish panel?fish panel caused battery drain in my experience.also bluetooth and wifi as well.
do you use AEButton plus or S2U2 (more to the point AEButton here) as AEButton especially seems to have drainage issues if its 2.6.5, at least it seemed to for me and some others...

None of these. And Fish panel for example cannot be left running in the background (AFAIK). Media player, or skype easily, since they are even intended to be run in background.
Happens mee also sometimes. Weekend I noticed that after useing opera it does it. I chargered my xperia in friday, didnt use it then whole day, or in saturday, but in saturday night I wanted to check news whit opera, battery was 90% when I start, after use its was 80%. I go to sleep and morning I waked up to that xperia says battery critical. It cant be anything else when I didint use nothing else whole day, and when it was allredy stand one day whit only 10% loss, and now randomly use 60% battery at night.
I think I had S2U2 running in the background, could that be it?
I'll soft reboot before going to bed tonight and see what happens ^^
use fdcsoft task manager, it'll tell you what's running
battery won't run down on its own, it needs something to cause it.
as said lowsignal will do itn
do you really need to leave the x1 on overnight?
if you turn it off it'll be all nice and alert after a nice sleep
only time my x1 runs low is if I fall asleep reading something with mobipocket on autoscroll...
I found that when I was running Push E-Mail over iMAP, I had this battery draining issue. Make sure you're configuring FlexMail or any other IMAP IDLE client to only the essential folders that you want to keep 'live', as each IMAP IDLE folder requires its own connection and can eat up a lot of resources/battery.
I've actually wrote myself a MortScript that will monitor the battery status and allow FlexMail to stay open if the battery is over 80%, and it will close FlexMail if the battery falls below 80%.
Still hating the fact that we only get battery readouts in 10% increments. Total crap for a high profile device...
I don't need to know what is running. I want to be sure I've just closed something. In fact I need to close 99% of application, I only need IM+ in background and that only sometimes. Also sometimes I need to adjust some settings without closing current application. But otherwise I always want to close, not minimize, and I want to do it with a key.
Same issue here , will a lil bit more tricky , i had my phone TURNED OFF , and was CHARGING , woke up and the red little light on the power button ( light of death) was on, replaced my batter with my spare one , and the phone came back to life , yet it isn't charging ( the charging icon is there but still not charging) , I'm using the wall charger ( if any one is thinking of an usb issue) . So for now i'm useing an "external battery base charger" which sucks to be honest ( takeing the battery in and out isn't the best thing ever ) ..
The funny part is that SOMETIMES ( 1 out of 100 ) the phone charges, why !! i don't really know . I reflashed my device , hardreset and done anything someone can possibly do yet no solution , it's not on warranty and to be honest i think that it's more of a software issue (i know that not charging while switched off is against this ) , I'll be so greatful if any of you guys have any ideas
I had the same problem, but for me it happend when I got a text message at night the the screen wouldn't turn off but xperia tweak fixed that
I had one instance of mysterious night-time draining. It actually woke me up at 4am with the low battery alarm.
The only thing I think might have caused it is that I had it sitting next to my old Nokia, which was switched off. I figure its antenna must have been interacting with the X1's such that it had to go to full power just to keep the cell signal.
Hello all,
I don't have this issue now but i've noticed something weird last night.
All background applications was turned off, screen backlight was turned off, LEDs on both sides was turned off... But there was white light inside my phone. I was sleepy so i didn't check keyboard backlight. Propably it was it. It was visible only it dark, in correct angle.
I've turned device off and on again and there was no light any more.
I had tried this issue before, it fixed after I uninstall the SKtools
I uninstalled S2U2 and I think it made the job
Li-ion or Li-poly?
i've been searching forums here and there regarding x1's battery issue and i'm not using any of those suspected programs (AEplus, S2U2, batti, etc.). mine is just stock xperia as of now, except for SPB plus. but still my battery only manages 14 hours of juice with very minimal usage i assure you. i have tried charging while off, hard reset, upgrade to R2A UK generic ROM, but still my battery sucks. i also noticed on the Settings>Power box that my "Main battery" is Li-ion, isn't it supposed to be Li-poly as the one written on the battery itself (BST-41)? Also, how much drain do we expect from a weak carrier signal? thanks guys.

I also had a problem with the battery not lasting me through the night. I eventually found out it was S2U2. I upgraded to v1.45 (with the power-saving option) and now the battery remains at the same level during the night.

You said it yourself.
I've been experiencing this for many days. I would charge my unit overnight only to be awaken by the low battery signal. In a normal scenario my X1 would only loose only 0-10% over a period of 8 hours in standby. When the fast discharge occurred it would drop to 50-60% and the unit was warm in touch.
I checked repeatedly to find which program was to blame, soft reset the device various times and changed my usage patterns to rule out programs that didn't had to do with it.
In the end I discovered that every time G-Alarm was triggered or set up an Alarm the quick discharge effect and warm device appeared.
I got rid of it and haven't encountered the problem again.
I have noticed one thing yesterday.
From the moment i had my Rhodium (2weeks ago) i installed advanced Config 3.3 on my Rhodium.
From the start i had the "SDcard power management" enabled.
Since then i had a terrible battery life, 20% loss in 3 hours so at the end of the day my battery was empty.
And did not blame the powermanagement of this.
Trying to locate the power loss i used acbPowermeter.
After two weeks i came till the conclusion that there was nothing which drains my battery.
True out the day i use my phone for just a couple off calls and sms messages.
3G is disabled because the poor reception.
Also auto weahter updates every 2 hours and my mail is also checked every 1 hour.
Bluetooth is always discoverble which does not effect battery drain more then bleutooth off.
Activesync is killed and Opera does realy close and used the nopushInternet tweak.
So after testing al these and more.
Even how much those apps uses de proc.
I had to try one more thing, disable the SDcard power management in Advanced Config 3.3.
And today that config change made me verry happy.
Normaly i start working at 5am and work till 3pm in that time the battery has lost 60% power.
And today i was supprised my Pro II had 91% power left.
So i just want to let you know that in my case the SDcard Power management f*****k up my batterylife.
Specs
HTC Touch Pro II
ROM-Vers: 1.19.404.1 (51489) NLD
ROM-Date: 06/22/09
Radio-Vers: 3.44.25.27
Engergy Info Tab says at 90% battery life:
Last fully charged
23:24 Thu 18aug 2009
Standby time:
18 hours and 40 minutes
Speak time:
1 hour and 4 minutes
Device Use:
5 hours and 4 minutes
I believe these specs aren't that bad because before i disabled the power management my battery would be emty in 16 hours.
So i hope that my findings will help you all.
Bluetooth is always discoverble which does not effect battery drain more then bleutooth off.

Are you sure about that?
in most devices bt in descovery mode drains the hell out of the battery!
I always have my BT ON only, because thats all you need once you devices have been paired.

Hey Faria,
First off all i still love your rom on my old wiza200.
Back ontopic:
As i found on the internet and my findings with the discoverble mode that it is not on all the time.
It only opens the BT pairing when a device want to pair.
After that it closes and acts as BT on mode.
BT does not sends it signal all the time.
But correct my if i am wrong
edit
If i may believe AcbPowerMeter the power drain with BT on and BT discoverble is nill and BT off against BT on is that it isn't a power drainer

ha.. you mean you have it in a timed descovery mode. if that is the case then it is correct.
if i m not mistaking bt on only, drains less than 1% in 24 hours of the battery.
I get 7 hours of battery life and I'm a heavy user. I already have that option disabled. I need to improve this battery!!!
incredible!! your results are great!! any other detailed report, to clarify things a bit?? it would be interesting to have some data to elaborate some statistics and see what we come up with
in your fisrt post, you mean that you achieved the written results at the cost of only 10% battery life, or have I misunderstood it all??? if it's correct, wow!! °_° you have a nuclear battery! from 100% (and powermanagement enabled) I usually achieve 24 to 26 standby hours, 30min calls, 5 hours device usage (most of them connected on 3g). no bt nor auto connections of any kind.
thinking about it, it sounds a bit strange though: the OS is basically the same since quite a long time, and so the management of sd power (I think). so why would it do good (if enabled) on many devices, and not on TP2, having on the contrary such a bad impact on battery life?? I hope my question is clear enough!
since I'm no expert or programmer, I'd really like to have a little explanation by someone who really knows how these things work!
thanks a lot for the contribution, everything that may improve battery life even just a minute is super appreciated! best regards!

Nope my is discoverble the whole time.
About the 1% drain i am not sure, but after i am done with testing we will see how much it drains our battery.

I expect that my testing will be done with in two or three weeks.
Because i want to exclude every possible power drain and drain the battery till its empty to besure how long it takes.
Althought my battery isn't empty jet i will post some screens of the actual battery state.
And later this weekend when the battery is empty i will also post data of my findings.
With my tests i hope to save power and still be able to use the Pro II as its ment to be.
Or else it will be useless expansive plastic brick after 7hours of use time.
At this moment my battery has 43% power left.
And the last full charge was at 4am on 20-08-2009.
So its standby for a little over 54 hours. (current time 11:30am)
In my attached screen it say standby time 49 hours.
I do not know if this standby indication is the actual standby or what is left.
I mean that my Pro still has 49 hours to go.
Think there is a bug in de energy tab, but can not find anything on the NET.
This is what i have done the last 54 hours.
Why is tell you this? althought i am not an heavy user like many people here.
It maybe can help to compare my use with all you people.
- 4am 20-08-09: woke up and disconected my phone from the charger.
- 5am got to work, at work no provider connection so phone is searching for connection for little over 8 hours.
- 3pm got home, so now and then check the weather, play arround with new appz, had to put is some new appointments and contacts.
- Tryed some new reg tweaks, and took some pictures and make a short movie (1.39min) off the awefull weather over here.
- 10pm got to bed with 73% power left in my battery.
- Same story: 4am woke up and got to work to arrive at home at 3 pm.
- Did some checking on the weahter app, added a new contact, tryed some g-sensor games.
- And made two phone call about 10 minutes (not much for the last two days)
- Also send about 12 sms and 2 emails.
- Got to bed at 11pm and woke up at 10am with 43% power left in my battery.
- My mail is checked every two hours, no pushmail by the way
- I used the alarm function as my wake up call
I will let the battery drain completly and try some other possible power savers later this week.
And will post my findings over here including some findings i made with acbpowermeter and what effects background services or programms have on the battery.
At this moment i think i have charge my battery tomorrow morning if it does not shut it self off because of an empty battery over night.
If 4 days standby time is possible with little use then i'm not happy with the power drain.
Why: my wifes Omnia i900 is not used for over 3days (Backup phone at the moment) and has a been standby for 4,5 days and has 50% power left.
Okay i know i can not compare these two devices.
Because there different and we do not use the devices the same.
Later this weekend i will post what i have done and post some data and statistics.
And i will post which changes i made for my new tests week.
What i have done so far,
Energy settings:
-screenlight in battery power is full
-screen goes off after 1 minute
-device goes off after 2 minutes
Phone settings:
-band settings are set both to auto
Bluetooth:
-is set to discoverble
WiFi:
-Did not use it this test
Commanager
-Do not know whoe made it.
but is use the new commanger to quickly switch between 3G on or off.
Because in my area there is a poor reception of 3G
So currently 3G it is switched off
Advanced Config:
-sdcard powermanagment is disabled
-also the others mmc, nand, sim, async, pptp,l2pt
-Data connetions (gprs auto attach) disabled
-miscellaneous (auto daylight savings) disabled
Appz & tweaks
-manilla nopushinternet
-Opera wil close instead of minimize
-Activesync is killed by faking a server
-No2chem 1% battery bar
-Zuinigerijder TouchLockPro
-XDA-Developers GPRS 1 minute auto detechment
Rhodium settings tool:
-Auto rotation is off
-Power special tweak is switched off (next week testing it switched on)
So next week more data and background info
waiting to see the final results!!
btw, what is "power special trick"?? never heard of that.. sounds useful
the more minute of battery life we can obtain, the better!
how do you disable the sd card power management? i want to give this a try. also this is my first post and id like to say this site has alot of useful information!
any updates
I tried disabling and...well maybe there is some little improvement here, but I don't know if it's really because of this or if it's because of different patterns of usage during the days.. mine varies a lot.
as a raw comparison, it went from almost 60hrs standby and 5 of usage to almost 75 and 6 /6.5. both test with phone always on on 3g network, no data connections, no wifi, bt and such. just simple usage (documents reading, editing, tweaking, mostly PIM related tasks.
again, I'm not really sure it's power management related.. maybe V6Maniac did a more rigid comparison, mine's not worth it
waiting for updates
cheers
Palringo
Guys,
I am not a techie so dont flame me if what I say proves to be wrong.
When I installed cleanRAM and when went to the Customized Process List, I saw Palringo as one of the running processes. I remembered using Palringo on the day I installed it, but never after that, which is at least 10 days before. And it stayed there even after a day. Hence I decided to remove the installation and the process is gone now.
Now my batter is really good!!! I had a full charge by 6 pm yesterday and now it is holding at 84%. I did connect to Internet through WiFi for about 20 to 30 mins for skype call, updated weather and stock. Yet it is holding at 84%.
Let me observe it for few more days and let me come back to you if I find anything interesting.
it is known that certain programs are really nasty battery drainer. there's a recent thread somewhere reporting that a (maybe older( version of ESET mobile antivirus did the same. so we have another entry for the black list of abnormal battery drainer
thanks a lot!
Hi guys,
I have a problem with my Jade. I've charged it last evening and I've barely used it. When I've went to bed it was 96% charged (ARIELbattery) and 10 minutes used.
This morning, when I've woke up, The battery was 33% and and the phone was 34 minutes usage time.
Something is wrong. Since there were no bluetooth, no wifi, no anything activated. And for sure, nobody played with the phone during the night.
This is not the first time when I see this behavior, but is the first time when the decrease is so big.
I suspect an app, but I do not know which of them. How can I see it?
Do you have other suggestions?
thanks!
There are some possible reasons:
Some SD-Cards seem to drain battery, so you can take it out for a test.
Some additional software is told to drain battery. Did you install something?
It is also helpful to switch to "flight-mode" over night. This normally reduces battery drain to nearly zero, if no additional consumers exist.
Hi,
Yes I've installed some software, like gAlarm, S2U2, icontact,ThumbCal, Skype, etc but last night none of them was started.
What can I do with the SD Card?! I need the SD-Card. Which card does not drain battery and which does?
I cannot turn off the phone over night.
Some clues here in this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514556&highlight=battery
I've read those before posting, but there was no answer to my problem. I have 67% drop of battery in 8 hours without touching the phone.
This is most likely that your device goes to screenoff or unattended power state instead of sleep. Your power settings might be corrupted. To change that go to your power settings advanced tab and change everything there (checkboxes and sliders), press ok and then change them back as they were, press ok. I'd suggest to keep the device turning off in one minute while on battery and none of the checkboxes for cord powered mode. There is a really freaky thing that even if you get your device to sleep with power button it will go back to screenoff mode after time specified by the turn off device slider while on battery IF you don't have that turn-off-while-on-battery checkbox checked there.

Thanks for the answer. But I do not really understand what you are saying here.
My power settings are: 30sec for Screen Light and 1 min for Device (on battery).
None of the check boxes is set for the case when the device is powered.
It could also be due to the battery defect. After some time the battery could lose its storage ability (because of the defect), despite the mAH stated.
As a comparison, my battery is nearly one year old. On full charge, overnight drawdown (on sleep mode) is about 2%-3% .

I have no own experiences with this programs but Skype for example needs permanent connection to internet when activated (be care of the background job!). This uses data connection and this drains battery. I can not quantify this in %. In addition Skype does not allow the system to switch to deep sleep because it needs permanent connection!
None of the app was started. I just have Skype installed, but it was not used.

I found some German threads that discuss a problem with this software and battery life. Some loose 10% over night others 50%. I think you should try to uninstall (and afterwards soft-reset!) for a night and see what happens.
Please keep us informed.
First of all, I've disabled the 3G. Now it only gsm with gprs. Since I've done this it seems the battery drop is ... super ok. If yesterday morning I've had 33%, this morning I've had 20%, so 13% drop in 24h, and the phone was used normally as before.
last night the S2U2 was not started.
I will wait until the battery level reaches 10% an I will do a full charge.
I will keep you informed. Thanks to all for advices!
Some clues here too ...

Hi,
So now, 2 weeks later... after setting my Jade to GSM only (no 3G) I get 7-8 days of normal usage. As I said, before I always had to charge it the third day.
Normally, i get -28mAh drain in standby. When the screen is on around -130mAh (for wake up) and then -70mAh. In a gsm call i get around -250mAh.
I did not switch the phone back to 3G yet, but I will and I will see again the battery drain.
PS: the values were provided by Mobadi.
i believe i have S2U2 installed... and my phones fine!
i have the overloaded rom... and battery life seems great only needs charging every 3 or so days and i do use it quite alot!
so...
after some time of testing and re-testing I still have, from time to time, the behavior that during night I see a massive drop in battery level and an increase of the usage time.
I do not know what is going on, but I suspect that some app is waking up the device to do some work (without turning on the screen), and the Jade cannot go to sleep anymore for a while.
I've notice the same behavior on a HTC Diamond 2.
Since none of the app I have installed on my Jade are installed on my friends Diamond2, I have no idea what app could do that.
If anybody has any idea, feel free .... I am idea-less!
I've made myself a little application to log the current values of the power data. So, I've saw that my phone wakes up each hour by himself, without turning on the screen, does some work (cca -70mA) and after 30sec goes back to sleep.
Any ideea about this?
Ok, this may sound a little bit strange, but once, maybe twice a day, I see a long bar on the Awake status in the Battery Use screen, indicating that something is keeping the phone awake for some time, usually a couple of hours.
Straight example:
I charged my phone to 100% on 8 April, around 22:30.
It's 10 April, 14:35 now, so it's on for about 1d 16h.
It still has 26%, with screen brightness set at 10%.
The alarm was set to 9:00 on 10 April.
Usage statistics:
- Display 28% (2h 16m)
- Cell Standby 22% (1d 15h 44m)
- Android System 17% (51m keep awake)
- Phone Idle 9% (1d 13h 28m)
- Android OS 5%
- OS Monitor 5%
- Voice calls 4% (7m 24s)
- Google Services 3% (16m keep awake)
- Google Search 2%(12m keep awake)
- Launcher PRO 2%
On the battery graph, I clearly see the flat line part of the last night (10 April, 00:00 till 10 April, 9:00), where I was asleep, indicating that there was no awake state, and the battery wasn't drawn of power.
But, because I was to lazy to get up when the alarm rang at 9:00, I consecutively put it to snooze about 8-10 times. That meant from 9:00 till ~10:30. After the last time on snooze, I completely turned the alarm off. I got up at 13:30 (yea, I know, I was kinda of lazy today).
Well, the problem consists in the fact that, even after 10:30, when I shut the alarm down for good, it was still awake. The awake bar in the graph points from the first time I put it on snooze till when I got up. That means from 9:00 to 13:30.
I installed OS Monitor from the Market and analyzed the logs. Indeed, from 13:15 till 13:30, the wakeup wake lock was triggered about 15 times only for alarm. So, the process was still on, even after i turned it off. What gives ?
Is it normal to even stay awake after snooze ? Can't it just wake up right when the snooze time ends ? I can't believe that it really needs to stay on all the time. And what about AFTER I turned it off ? Why the hell does it need to stay awake then !?!?
It's so unbelievable, that I actually don't think it's something Google-related (Android code fail, I mean), maybe something to do with MY phone in particular, though that would be stupid as well, I know. So what the hell is going on here ?
PS: Oh, I almost forgot. It's not only the alarm. One night it started to stay in awake mode from ~01:00 midnight till 10:00 in the morning. Unfortunately, I didn't have OS Monitor installed then. But I can give you another 7 processes that bust the wake up, besides alarm. Those would be the following: mmc_delayed_work, gpio_input, modem_fmt, modem_ip_rx, KeyEvents, PowerManagerService, max8998-charger (WTF IS THIS !>!>!>>!>!?!>!>!!?!?!?!?)
PPS: About the battery, I think it's faulty, because I have barely used it in the last 1d 16h and it has 26% left. What do you think ?
Dont think its a faulty battery. I get 17-18hrs n I use the hell outta my phone (200-500 text/day, gtalk, twitter, reading news articles, a couple YouTube videos n maybe a phone call or 2...)
Yea, well... if I send 200-500 text/say + gtalk + etc. etc. those 1d 16h would drop to about 8-10h. Compare that to your 17-18h. It's not really good now, is it ?
What's your screen brightness and how long does your screen stay up ?
Well, I have an update for 1 process from the list of 7:
gpio_input, is a process that handles physical buttons. To be more precise, every time you press the power button to wake up the device, the process is being activated.
Furthermore, after I pressed 2 times Volume Up + 1 time Volume Down + Power button, with a total of 4 button presses, it would fire up 4 distinctive gpio_input processes. So, for every physical button pressed, another process would fire up.
So no need to worry about this one. Let's see the others. The alarm one is still present all over the freaking place !
PS: Forgot to mention something: the always-awake state has gone sometime during the day. I think it was right after I did a restart. Dunno why... it just ended. Pff.
I think this is a bug because I see it on my nexus one too. Over night I'll see solid line for hours showing my phone woke up. But interestingly no battery drain happens, its just reported as being awake.

Exactly.
As for the battery, I've calculated my usage of 3G talk-time (10 mins of talk time on my phone representing 4% of battery), compared to the official stated talk-time (of 400 mins):
Oficial:
400mins = 100%
10 mins = x%
x = 2.5% from the total battery level (x represents how much % of battery level should 10mins of 3G talk eat juice, after Google standards)
Real stats:
10 min = 4% out of 95% battery level
Phone = 4/100*95= 3.4% from the TOTAL 100% battery
y mins = 100%
10 mins = 3.4%
y = 1000/3.4 = 294mins ~= 300mins REAL TALK TIME
So, after calculations, it seems that for MY phone, the 3G talk time is actually 300mins, not 400 as Google states. That's an argument for WHY I actually believe my battery sucks. Well, it doesn't TOTALLY suck, as some of your batteries here on the forum... but it is indeed below the standard. Isn't it ?
Yep, it happened again. No problems during the night, but in the morning, when the alarm started, the always awake state has begun. It now shows a long blue bar that spans for about 3-4 hours. What is peculiar is that the wake lock alarm is on during the hole day, even if the alarm is completely off.
LE: Surprisingly, after a restart, it would sleep normally. I can't think of any other possibility besides the alarm (I mean, if you put the alarm to snooze, it will keep your phone in permanent awake state onwards from that point.)
What is even more interesting, is that you don't need to restart the device to finally put it back to sleep, as I stated above. I've charged it to max and the always-awake state was gone. Interesting, isn't it ? Guess it's just a glitch... If, somehow, someone knows the answer to this, I would gladly listen to it. Until then, well... I guess I'll just forget about it and never bother again. Hope you guys don't have problems with this and/or something similar. Cheers !
I have the same on Acer Liquid Metal.
Any remedy foud?
Tried to track down with aLog, but useless
I'm not quite sure... but I think maybe Maps is the cause. Again, I'm not sure at all, I'm just seeking a pattern every day I use it, and this far, Maps has been the best bet for this glitch. Can you confirm that ?
LE: Forgot. The remedy is, well... just go to Task Manager and stop the app.
Also, I have seen 3 instances of this process:
- com.google.android.apps.maps
- com.google.android.apps.maps:NetworkLocationService (I think this one is the problem)
- com.google.android.apps.maps:Friends (or something like this; and wondered what the hell it is for...)
For me the culprit is definitely maps. And that effect is doubled when I'm signed in to latitude. Just by signing out of latitude I can double my battery life and by disabling "wireless networks" in the location settings my battery life can be tripled! There is something really wrong with the maps app here.

Thanks a lot for the input, really appreciate it. Unfortunately, I don't use Latitude, so I can't confirm that part. Neither the wireless networks part, I haven't notice that before... but I'll see what I can come up with.
Still searching what to stop
All you said was already deleted/frozen but problem persist
I have delayed sms notification. I received 1 new sms but there should be a "1" on the sms/mms icon(that means I have 1 new message), and minutes/hours later after reading the new sms, I see the "1" on my sms icon which, when I opened it, there is no new sms!
Weird!
Viber, i cant make calls too. I press the call button but it wont do anything. Later on it was calling by itself after a few minutes!
Battery issues: charged 100% by 10:30pm, bluetooth and wifi is on, around 11-12am phones gets hot inside my pocket, cleared all apps, battery went down to 77% by 12:15am not even using it!

Not a battery issue. You have one app not letting the phone enter deep sleep.
i reset my phone and works fine for now. somehow my pebble watch is the culprit, idk.
I have battery issues too. Day one, charged up, used as normal, recharged next morning. Day two. Charged up, used, charged at night due to low battery. Now a week later, I have to charge it multiple times a day. It was 100% at 7am, now at 1 pm am at 10%. Not playing any games.
Turned on all the stamina programs, and same.
Battery performance says screen is 43% while voice calls are 23%.? Voice calls?
Where did my awesome battery life go?

I had same issue. It was Lookout and Sony's photo upload service (among some others) that were draining it. I like "Clean Droid" to help identify the culprits of these sorts of issues. Stamina mode also helps - but make sure you add the apps that you need to work in the background or it will kill them all when screen is off.
I think mine is fine, BUT there was that time when i first got mine that the shutter button stopped working with the screen off followed by the camera lockscreen shortcut dissapearing. A factory reset solved it but im curious if it will happen again
I've been having SMS issues, lots of times SMS's won't send on the first try, and sometimes I'll wake the phone up, do some stuff, and all of a sudden I've got a flood of SMS's... Yesterday I got about 6 messages at once, and 2 of them were a full day old...
Consequences of Installing custom roms on a T- MO z3
Its the first time I have an on contract phone. I moved over from a nexus 4 and i dont know the consequences of unlocking the bootloader(if any). What happens if I do manage to unlock it and install custom roms on the phone while its on contract?
For a time, I kept getting duplicate SMS messages. I'd wager it was a network thing, as it stopped all at once about a week ago.
I had similar issue using textra but it stopped and worked fine next day, might've been temporary network problem.
I have had similar issues. Sometimes I have to send a message twice for my friends to get it. also I keep having this issue where ill try to make a call and it hangs up immediately, it will continue to do this until I reboot the phone. I'm loving this phone but someone needs to figure out how we can flash a international firmware image.
It may be a network issue, with Sprint this happened to me a lot.

Unlocking bootloader on Sony devices corrupts DRM keys which renders x-reality useless. Also, some camera functionality will no longer be present . IMHO, unlocking bootloader is not worth it, especially considering the limited amount of custom ROMs available.
Download gsam and monitor what it using your battery and processor, then disable it. My problem was media server, disable that and everything was fine
My 2nd Z3 doesn't have these issues anymore ?
