4.2.2 Battery life 4 DAYs in my Z awesome :D .....

this is a picture of my Xperia Z battery life with the leaked 4.2.2 thanks to doomlord for leaking it

Wtf how are you managing that?
Transmitted from my secret lair under the sea

If you don't have any apps doing stuff in the background the Z can go REALLY long in standby.

I only have about 2gb of apps. About 30% screen brightness. I shut down apps after I use them. I use greenify and have GPS and data disabled and stamina mode on. And yet I still have to charge twice a day.

you using ur phone as a tablet...duh..

He used his phone for like 5% of the 4 days lolzz. I would attempt this feat....but I use my phone....alot

im getting terrible standby times on CM10.1 lol,
drains like 9 percent in 9 hours overnight with wifi on, with android OS chewing all the power.
also it has a keep awake time of like 6 hours.
ill probably switch to stock based 4.2.2 soon :3

Phone on the table with some calls. Why did you bought your phone eh ?
My usage :
Data always on
GPS always on
Screen brightness is 0% but with adapt setting
BE ON
always with whatsapp, fb messenger
1-2 hours of call
listening to music 3 hours at night when I get to sleep
I get usually around 3-3.5 screen timing

lol
Did he use the phone like the way I used my old Nokia N3100? XD

Should just get a Nokia 3310 it's cheaper.. Has all the same functions you need lol

I can have 7 days until phone will have 0%. Look at picture. There are 3 straight lines. This means that phone was lying. He wasn't using it. Nothing new... Please moderator close this thread.

Are you kidding me?Are you using your phone sometime?It look like not too much.

Yes! After poor battery life (3-4hrs) I've isolated the issue and LOVE it!

I was getting horrendous battery life on my new Nexus 7 stock and rooted / custom ROM.
I decided to wipe, install zero apps except Chrome and fire away at the battery. YouTube has streamed 3 hours worth of an HD video and I'm at 72%!!! Nice!!!!
I was using FB and FB messenger, Firefox beta and really that's about it. Needless to say I'll hold off on installing them until they've been optimized with 4.3

fwiw - i have chrome, fb and ff beta also installed - no battery issues. I dont use FF messenger though.

Its FB. Seriously. Its a horribly written website with horribly written apps. It sucks information all the time.

I'm sure my battery life would be great with no apps installed too. I'm holding off on wiping mine though, because I'm sure after I root and reinstall my stuff, the battery life will go to crap again.
On my Nexus 7 Google Services has an inordinate amount of keep awake time. So I'm hoping updates will fix the issue.

I've heard people uninstalling Google Services helps. Might cause issues elsewhere though. I think certain battery savers can limit specific apps from keeping the device awake. Im on CM and my device goes into deep sleep quite often. Like 86% of the time.

A thousand times THIS.
If you really want FB install tinfoil. You lose notifications, but it's FBs garbage constant notification polling that is keeping your device awake.

Not trying to defend Facebook but.... Its not like fb doesn't have the option to turn notifications off. Chat availability off. Refresh interval to never. Messenger location off.
At some point no matter how bad the app is it comes down to user error.

It doesn't matter. I turn that crap off and while it probably helps, FB is always eating up tons of memory and keeping the battery drained.
I use APW Widgets, setup a Facebook widget, and click through to the mobile Facebook page using Next Browser. The Facebook app has some perks over this but using this method, I know its not leeching my contacts and mobile usage.

I believe you as I've had issues like this too with many apps.
What I don't understand is how two people with same hardware, same ROM, install same app, one will have drain and the other doesn't. For example I have FB installed on my N7 2013 and its fine (at least it doesn't pop up in the usage chart if I don't use it).

Using memory doesn't = using battery,
With those settings the device should idle perfectly. Assuming the rest of your set up is well behaved of course.
While your device is up and running the process will run time to time but it shouldn't cause any noticeable battery drain.
Don't get me wrong I can go on and on about all the stupid things that app does but set it up that way and you should not suffer any battery issues / drainage.

Once the MBA and CEO Class got their hands on Facebook it was Game Over .....
Most MBA's and CEO's aren't well enough educated to run a technically/scientifically based operation .... Look what happened to Gateway, Yahoo, Dell and almost happened to Apple in the 90's before they brought the Brains back ....
Google is one of the few that haven't went that route which is why they are leading the pack on most things. .... As long as the Brains of Google keep majority share and thus control of Googler I'll stay invested but as soon as the MBA and CEO Class takes ovber (hopefully never) I'll dump all my Google stock just like I did with Yahoo in early 2000 .....
Just look at the Damage the MBA and CEO Class did in the late 90's (The wrongly named Dot Com Bust) and in 2008 ..... Mainly because they are too poorly educated to work the technology and their insane belief in disproven Economic Theories like Supply Side that falls completely to pieces in the Tech World ....

I'm gonna tell you greenify changed my life, my battery life that is. Try it out and you will not be dissapointed.

an app that has not been used in over a day.. after a reboot yesterday should not be in top ten active apps and have near 7000 wakelocks when all notifications in the app are turned off. so yes, Facebook app sucks more than just itself
still. I'm at 22 hours unplugged, 4 and a half hours screen on time and only at 54% battery... I rate that as good

I haven't had any need yet on my Nexus 7, but I found Gemini App Manager to be a godsend on my Virgin Mobile phone. I can disable all the Intents that apps believe they ought to wake for and just allow them to respond to me actually running them. Much better battery life and more responsive phone without memory cluttered by all the bloatware that believes it needs to run all the time.

The Xperia SP's battery is mind blowing

Its been about 2 weeks since I got my phone and I'm mighty impressed with the battery life, probably because of stamina mode. I know it's only this good since I also haven't installed too many apps on it yet, but it's still much better than any android device I've ever had before.
Shame the battery isn't removable though. How's the battery holding up on your phones?

Holy crap, what's screen on time like? Performance?

If you post such a screenshot you might aswell tell us the trick that did it I could get 4 days out of my phone on stamina mode and this was with some hours of music and music browser of course, but not much more.

the best that i have seen on my phone is 45 hours ( almost 2 days ) but with 4.5 HOURS SCREEN! too much i think!

I use mine moderately most days sometimes heavily and I still get about 1.5 days usage.
Stamina mode is very impressive indeed. :silly:
regards

No tricks really. Here's how I've been using it.
Settings:
Bravia engine off
Mobile data off most of the time
Wi-Fi on most of the time
GPS off
Stamina mode on of course
Apps:
Streamed a video episode
Streamed music (on chrome)
Played music (on app)
Took pictures
Used flashlight once or twice
Sent a couple of files via bluetooth
Yeah its generally light usage, but again I suspect the lack of apps that have running background services are also a factor in this. Apart from Gmail I don't have any other email or social network apps set up yet. I check my accounts manually on Chrome.

9 to 12 hours

Hmm, well that's just great. Thing is I have cleaned all the bloatware from my device and I dont use social media, I do have whatsapp and gmail+google calendar running. Normally I get 2 days most out of one battery and this is when stamine mode is off because of whatsapp. But maybe I should try data mode off, wifi on and see what will happen that way. There is almost no situation where I'm not near wifi which I can connect too Still I think using whatsapp a lot eats battery.
I'd love to see 3 days with average use on this device.

My results are just shi**y!
My brightness is on auto.
Data always off.
Sync off.
No other apps installed, which are running in the background except whatsapp.
Stamina is on, for sure! But the battery life is anyway very bad!

5.5-6 hours of screen on time isn't mind blowing. My friend's iPhone 5 gets 8-9. What's surprising is that this has a much bigger battery, and even when the brightness is low and the CPU is underclocked it still drains the battery faster than similar devices. I don't think it's very efficient....

and asynchronous dual-core should make battery life better

well he doesnt seem to use the phone to play or use apps.... so if it is idle all the time you can pretty sure get even more out of it. If you set a cpu-profile for screen-off time, it will be hardly losing battery. I did that on my old phone and despite it was lagging when waking up it lost less than five percent over a week while i did nothing but checking clock from time to time
Greetings
ps it is said that screen-off-profiles are not good for processor.... but i don't know anymore where i read that

I haven't checked the screen on time and I already charged my phone yesterday. I'll check it again when it's needs a recharge again and post it here (it might take a while lol). Also, not using any performance altering apps or techniques, is there a certain way you check performance?

Whatsapp does eat up a lot of battery. Since I charged my phone I've been using Whatsapp and the phone is already down 20%.
I don't know if this affects battery or not since I haven't tried it before on any other device, but I'm using 3 home screens instead of 5, I'm gonna try adding back 2 screens on the next charging cycle and see if it makes a difference.

I might have a look into changing cpu frequencies when in idle then. For now I'm with a HTC One X because of dead pixels on my SPs camera sensor.
The HTC(nVidia Tegra3) has less battery capacity but with average plus use it gets two days easily, makes me wonder what is wrong with the Sony firmware....

Do you know, that in Stamina mode you can allow certain apps to run.
So turn on Stamina mode, long press on stamina, and add Whatsapp.

mine loses 10% when im asleep lol. with stamina mode on, its around 7%

I did know this but I thought the stamina mode switches of the 3G connection, when the screen is off, which is needed for whatsapp or am I mistaken? Thanks for the hint.

You haven't really thought this thoroughly
The iPhone cpu runs at 1.3 ghz vs 1.7 ghz on the SP
The iPhone Gpu runs at 275 mhz vs 400 on the SP
The resolution is lower than the SP, which means the GPU on the iPhone doesn't have to work as hard
My Xperia SP still runs longer than my friends iPhone 5,
Easily get two days use out of it, screen on time of about 5-6 hours
That's not bad,

S5 Worst battery ever

Got this phone about 10 days ago and my battery is terrible since day 1, someone suggested to root my phone and get the BBS app and dump a file i did that and installed a system tuner to disable google CHECKIN OR GCM and unchecked them. apps i got installed to help with battery battery doctor, wakelock detector, os monitor, system tuner, gsam battery, betterbatterystats.
Apps i disabled are:
Ant radio service
Ant+ plugins
App zone
Blurbcheckout
chaton
chrome
flipboard
google play book, games, movies, music, newstand , google search, google+ , hangouts
hp print service plugin
my magazine
s health , svoice , samsung account , samsung apps , samsung galaxy apps widget, samsung push service, smart remote , Top Hd Games
got a plain black wallpaper, even after all this i cant get more than 2h30m screentime and everyone is getting 5h+ do i have a defective unit? what are my options right now? cause basically i removed everything the phone has lol. i talk to my workplace and they can send the phone for repair but i want to see if someone can help me before i do that. i have to unroot the phone if i have to send it for repair even though my phone is 0x1 on knox cause i was stupid to root with cf-root and didnt check other methods.

After all that you did, then it sounds like a faulty battery or device.

How's your signal at work? I'm on 3g at half signal maybe? I get about 3:30 and standby. But when I'm at home WIFI only I get about 4-4:30 it all depends too on how bright your screen is.

This system tuner app you used it not any overclocking or something that might drain you battery?
What screen brightness do you use most of the time?
Can you see what use most of your battery? There is charts you can access in settings -> battery
I run with BLAZE kernel and Alliance ROM. (install without any samsung or google bloat if you can)
And I have been using my phone constantly, playing streemed music, installing apps, downloading from internet, browsing internet, having screen active a lot...
And Now I'm at 87% and have been running 1 hour and 38 minutes on battery. (Was at about 100% battery before)
I run +5 screen brightness and don't have any special powersaving features running that limit my experience with the phone.
You could try that kernel and ROM too, I feel they improved my battery time a lot.
I also shut down some samsung and google bloat stuff like air browse, s voice and such crap, saving a little little battery.

Here is my battery info and my brightness level. I have Canadian g900w from Rogers so I am not sure what roms or kernels you can use ?

Hey, here I have everything turned on and I never followed these stupid extreme battery guides and I easily get over 4 hours of screen time and one day away from the charger. I only use auto brightness, Greenify and KT Kernel.
It's a smartphone, if you're supposed to turn all the features off then you should have bought a dumb feature phone.

Looks like ur using max brightness? Nearly 2 hours screen on time for 44% isnt the best but isnt terrible. I get around 5 to 6 hours using low brightness 3g/4g on besides when screen on. Using android tuner and greenify for tuneing. Screen uses a lot of battery to. Im using. Ktoons kernal now with oc and the batterys probably the same to to me. No beter or worse but. Im running higher clock.

You're set for almost four hours of screen on time there, on what seems to be very poor mobile signal. Doesn't sound that unrealistic to me to be honest.
Poor mobile signal absolutely kills battery life, as your phone spends the entire time searching and trying to get a better signal.

I think his point is that most people get 5-6 hours screen time with everything on and without following the "stupid extreme battery guides". To be honest it looks like you aren't getting great life either if you are only getting 4 hours. I regularly get 6-7 with everything on and no greenify or kernel tweaks

I see a couple of things interesting with your setup, Speaking from personal experience, I too have had battery issues drive me up a wall. I'd get just about a day on a battery when everyone else gets about 3-9 days more. My friend has an s5 all stock and he gets 9 days on a freaking battery. WTF
I rooted my first s5, with ANCH baseband and still couldn't solve all the issues with it. So I sent it back to t-mo and they sent me another one, getting batteries on ebay has also ended up a wash. 2 batteries I've received go down 20% from a full charge in the first hour and shut completely down at 32 percent at least I got a refund on that. (So be careful about ebay batteries, even though they say samsung.
So looking at yours here's what I see, Your system is staying awake, lets look at wake locks. Kik is really tearing up your machines wakelock (900wake locks) as well as the camera CPU time, i'd imagine you were recording a video at some point.
1. Go get greenify and greenify those Kik, Instagram and camera apps if thats usage while the screen is off. (No notifications on those apps, i'm afraid when you do that.)
2. Go get system tuner, make sure your rooted by towelroot (If you so choose to keep from tripping knox) and go into app mgr and find android system and go through activities, receivers and services and make sure everything you see that says IQAgent gets unchecked. This will help you stay out of ServiceIQ's eyes and also help your battery as your entire phone is debugged through those apps. (Help is on the forums somewhere)
3. Turn off google now, hotword detection and location history or you'll start noticing Google services draining your battery
4. Go get deep sleep battery saver and remove that battery saver, I personally never liked it it only suggests things to do rather than do them for you. At night or whenever you need to save your battery turn on slumber and it will only take like a percent to 5% in the morning
5. You probably have a bad battery, especially if its down to that low. Time to exchange or return
I'm incredibly disappointed, i've had to do all these things to really figure things out, heck i'd be on firefox for about 15 minutes and go down 18% (Happened this morning)
Android really has some issues with kitkat, and even though we try and fix these problems with modifications there comes a point where one just gives up and tries to deal with it.
I don't understand why my phone gets 1.2 days and my co-workers Verizon s5 gets 9 days with normal usage. Everyone seems to have crazy all over the scale battery life results. Heck, i've reset my phone and flashed so many roms that i'd be safe to say that I have yet to have 10 full discharges in the 4 weeks i've had the phone. At the end of the day though, it's mountains better than my iphone 5 with a lenmar battery case.
Wish I could say the same with stability, I'd be on my bike and switch tracks (or try) and stuff just doesn't respond, heck I can't even go with voice activation with wired headphones and that is really a downer for me. I want to be able to hold down the pause and play and get the google now boop boop sound and speak as i'm riding.
I'm tired of this, and google has no answers, the fixes above only seem to add a couple of hours but not the 9 days I was seeing.

I think his point is that most people get 5-6 hours screen time with everything on and without following the "stupid extreme battery guides". To be honest it looks like you aren't getting great life either if you are only getting 4 hours. I regularly get 6-7 with everything on and no greenify or kernel tweaks

So? What do you do to have that many hours? Which rom? How often do you recharge? Which apps do you use? That's the point. I never freeze/uninstall anything...

My rom. With nothing removed or frozen as I have to keep all bloat due to development to check everything. I recharge every night usually with about 20% left and about 5h30 screen on. Using Tapatalk, music, calls, Internet. The usual stuff.

I get 6-7 hours normal use with the bloatware I never use frozen. And I mean never use.
Gtalk, whatsapp, line, google drive, dropbox, gmail, Yahoo mail, corporate mail, all running. No greenify. No battery saver.
Now playing games is different thing. 2-3 hours max.

My battery is amazing. I keep the screen brightness lower, keep networks and chips off when not using, i use bootmanager to prevent apps from launching ay boot and only 1 active widget. Good for a day and a half of very fair use !

Yup probably, the only flaw with a smartphone is its user

［Snapdragon batteryguru vs Stamina mode］

Dose anyone use snapdragon batteryguru?
Or stay with default function, namely stamina mode?
Or both together?
I just installed yesterday and it is on the way learning.
So, if some of you have already tried some combination of those, I am appreciate it in giving me feedback.
Also, I will give you feedback after testing.
Best regards,

I have used batteryguru before didn't notice much improvement and from what the app was saying the apps you don't use often it stops them pushing the notifications etc until you load the app however I was still having notifications coming from all the apps on my phone. Your milage may vary though depending on what you use your phone for.

I was using JuiceDefender until I've been told that it doesn't do me any good. I thought it was a pretty nifty app for its functionality to enable and disable Wi-Fi and mobile data when I need it or not...

I have been used for 1 month. I guess batteryguru did not help me much. So, I just uninstall it.

I also had tried it on my HTC Butterfly (Global version of Droid DNA) and my LG G2, noticed no improvement in battery life.

Also, I just recognize that battery recharge time longer when I used it.

I think is better to use both

Why would you think, that JuiceDefender does not do any good?
I use it and actually have very good results with it...

Well, peers have told me:
1. Battery saving apps are pointless with how advance Android is nowadays. Also especially since Sony has already included enough battery saving software in their devices.
2. The battery saving app keeps running, so that itself drains the battery.
What do you think?

1 is correct
2 is partially correct, depends on which power saving app, I didn't notice any real drain from Battery Guru, though it didn't help increase it either.

I've never used Battery Guru before, but I think I'd rather purchase Tasker to do the job of location based Wi-Fi for my phone.
Would it drain battery or such if I have that act like juice defender/battery guru instead?

Ive used battery guru for a while, but looks like it doesnt do much. So i uninstall it already.

With the latest version of Stamina I can't really see what BatteryGuru can do to further improve things.
The Z3 effectively turns just about everything off in standby if you ask it to, firing up when you start using the phone. Battery Guru attempts to learn your usage, so it will still allow data at certain times and restrict completely at others.
I'm very happy with Stamina and uninstalled Battery Guru some time ago. I still have it on some other devices tough, especially anything that doesn't have any native power saving functions.
I do wonder how Sony is going to combine Stamina with the Lollipop battery saver, which is a simple on or off - along with the horrid orange bars. That's very much all or nothing with far less intelligence, so maybe Sony will not use that at all.
