Hey Guys,
I bought xperia z2 and htc m8 three days back.My xperia z2's back gets heated while using normal apps or camera for about 5 minutes and battery gets drained so fast that ever never last for about a day by normal usage without heavy apps
.I have even tried on stamina mode which didn't even give me a better result.I compared my phone with htc m8 with same apps, htc m8 battery stays much longer and not doesn't heat up when compared to xperia z2 (I also tried cpu temp app where xperia z2 goes about 60 c and htc m8 reaches only max about 48 c.
Now my question is that I have given my xperia z2 for replacement,Should I go for a new xperia z2 or get a refund??.Is this normal for all xperia z2 or have I got a defective piece??
I have read in Internet that recording 4k videos causes overheating but my case is on normal camera mode
model no. : D6503
Batch No. : 14W21
Plss help me ...

I have 14W17 and I do not have problems such as your phone. I can have my camera mode turned on for many minutes and it will not overheat, keeping in mind that it is around 20 degrees now in Ireland so...
No battery draining for me, it gets warmish at times if I use it heavily but not hot. My battery in stamina mode let my phone last for 3 days... 6 hours screen on time... I was calling for around two hours, wifi/4g during day/off during night, auto brightness, many sms/hangout messages, around 30 minutes on voice call on skype via 4g, around 1 hour browsing WWW, a bit of youtube and streaming of world cup on the phone... I may not be a heavy user but this usage is phenomenal for me!
I had HTC One M7 and I like Sony more.
I'd say go for replacement! If you get a good one it will get warm when you heavily use it, but it will note overheat when using camera normally or shooting HD video. Once you get a proper working phone, you should not regret it!
I had Htc One M7 before, than Note 3 and now this one. Best phone I have ever had is Z2....
Any problems such as heat, battery drain or misbehaving then replace your device as this is a noted defection

Just bought my z2 yesterday my phone cpu temperature is always 55 some time go to 60
I think battery drain fast to i lost 4% in 10 min and battery temperature is 38 Dunno where is the problem i hope some one help and sry for my bad english
Phone running on lollipop and no apps running just screen and data on
My Z2 only starts overheating when I play Hitman Go, or while watching videos while the phone is charging.
Try leaving the phone on stamina mode. Also your phone could be struggling to find data towers hence the extra power Drain.
Try downloading watchdog lite and see what is abusing your cpu. In my case it was Facebook messenger. It got my phone to 67 degrees Celsius and used around 50% of cpu just by running in background

the Z2 has been noted to have a hardware issue that causes overheating
it lacks a heat sink and a heat basin where as newer xperias have this
sony has improved the temperature throttling in lolipop

I kept managing to hit 65-70 by doing next to nothing. Quashed Google now wakelocks and turned some of its features off. Now hitting 55 max. Try that. I'm on KK by the way.

I also noticed that on 4.4.2 I got crazy overheating issues but the second I updated to 4.4.4 and higher they went away.
I'm not really sure if Android version changed anything for me... Basically, when traveling (brightness around 70%, listening to music and using LTE with poor signal I get ~43°C on battery). Another example... Streaming internet radio over LTE for longer periods of time = frying pan. So, when I don't really need LTE I use 3G and it's about half the usual temp. I would get... But as I said, it depends on signal strength... About CPU/GPU... Well, let's say that the recent discussions about 810 overheating make me smile
I bought a brand new xperia z1, 2 days back after my note 2 met it's sudden death fate after being used for 3 years. I never had any kind of issues with note 2. But this time i thought of trying some other brand, so i settled for z1 ( because of many factors). After using it for one day,i realised it's specs are fabulous on paper, but in reality sony doesnt even come close to samsung. The day i bought it,i upgraded it to 5.1.1 from 5.0.1 ( OTA updated, and did not format after it ). Ram management is worse than poor, it's just like using a 700 mb ram. In 2GB,'i hardly get 300 mb of free space.
It has an impressive processor, and it was one of the main factors that i considered before buying.
Battery backup is poor, just half of note 2. It used to last for 15 ,or sometimes 20 hours on moderate usage and z1 hardly lasts for 7 hours with stamina mode on after it has reached 30%. I think, it's because of huge processor, full hd screen and slightly small battery, but the difference in battery back up is huge. Any suggestions?
The last thing which concers me is temperature. I never saw this phone working below than 38def Celsius during normal usage. As i am typing this, my phone's temperature is 41deg Celsius. If i start browsing using chrome or play sone videos in YouTube, it would climb to 43deg. Is this normal? Or should i downgrade to kitkat ?
This is my first sony device, and now i think i made a huge mistake shifting from samsung,i should i have bought note 3 instead.

Hi, good day I wanted to know if how much can I squeeze out battery on the Z Ultra. My brothers friend is selling a Z Ultra 1 yr used. I only have a basic phone Archos 40 Titanium. SHOULD I BUY THE 1 yr old Z ULTRA or wait for the 2 yr old Z3 to be turnover to me I dont know if Dec this yr. OR buy a local phone with good specs and camera OR should I fix my Xperia T2 Ultra Front Assembly for $117 US dollar??? I already fix the Motherboard last yr for $153 US dollar. I used phones for College and other stuff
Here are my settings on my older STOCK ROM 4.4.3 T2 Ultra LTE:
- GPS is off.
- network is on GSM.
- Autosync is disabled.
- Brightness lowest indoors while at 50-100% on Outdoors mostly 75-80% No Auto mode.
- STAMINA MODE is on. With Query background on.
- NFC is off.
- Bravia Engine is off.
- Not much app sapping installed.
- Airplane mode is not enabled.
- Rooted with Kingroot.
I usually charge it overnight and alarm it when its full then I start using my phone in the morning. (With breaks of course)
I don't bring powerbanks much.
I usually browse with wifi. I get around 8:15-10 hrs screen on time on my T2 Ultra at about 25-20-18% left cant remember. When at house with whole day browsing plus some youtube at between 60-80% volume. Plus brightness at lowest no auto mode enabled.
What kind of screen on time can I expect with Z Ultra at my settings?
battery life is so hard to assess, I reckon you should get roughly the same use, probably not as good as the T2 because the screen in the XZU has more pixels.

How much worse is the battery screen on time of Z Ultra cause I find reviews that its a bit bad?
Android Central says the battery is "great", but I don't trust reviews until XDA can prove it! Show us your screenshots if you happen to have an X Compact.
With mode Stamina performance.
well seems ok, thank you for the screenshot.
after 3 days in normal mode. (no stamina)
My battery life is insane, it's the best I've ever had on android.
I'm at 41% battery in the screen shot attached. And I've already got 4+ hours of SOT.
I've watched YouTube videos, been on Facebook, Twitter etc and been listening to the radio/music In the gym.
Some proper voodoo going on here, but now I get why they used the smaller, nippier processor. :victory:
Anyone who's used Z2 here? I wonder how the battery performs compared to my Z2. Endurance Rating in GSMArena says 73 hours compared to the 89 hours of the Z2.

gsmarenas battery test is personally not the best method. i rather like phonearenas. their method is much more realistic as they are not only testing video playbacks but also social media, browser and so on. usual smartphone usage.

GSMArena change the battery testing method in this year.
Every phone that GSMArena reviewed before 2016 have the brightness adjust by postioning the slider at 50% when do a battery test, but this year they fix the brightness to 200 nits.
http://gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_x_compact-review-1495p3.php
the article said the X Compact have 106 nits brightness when adjust the slider at 50%. That's mean it will get the better result if they use the old method for testing like Z2.

Thanks, I like hearing that, I'm not one who keeps the brightness above 50% much, only in rare occasions, I usually keep it at 30-40%, and 0% during the night.
Mine sucks. Literally. I enabled the battery optimisation (on the top right 3 dots menu), Stamina should kick at 20% or below, no Ultra Stamina. The last hours have been good compared to the other days.

Glad you like it, bet it feels like a big jump up from the m2. Go to settings location tap the three dots top right and then turn both sliders to the off position WiFi and Bluetooth are always scanning in the background for connections for Google even if you turn them off in the settings on mm it crucified the battery on my xa. I'm getting between 3.5-5hrs screen time from a 2300mah battery not used stamina mode since getting it in July.
Another top tip install greenify and activate the aggressive doze and doze on the go feature via adb it's literally two command lines it makes doze work more like old stamina mode did and it works on unrooted stock devices.

Hey Aidy, long time no see!
yeah, I already did the trick of disabling WiFi and BT on Location settings. This could be why my battery improved in the last couple of days. It was consuming up to 6% per hour! But there must be something wrong with my settings. I synched the XC with the M2 via Xperia Transfer and something may have gone banana.
I mean, now I am at 22% after 32h, but only with 1h 40m of screen. The battery life raised also because I didn't touch the phone much. I dunno, my feeling is also that MM on XC is pretty bugged at the moment. The brightness goes to down 0, the WiFi connection is worse than the one on M2 (!!) and the stupid Xperia Home breaks my themes (fixed installing 10.0.A.0.73 from apkmirror. But also the latest Xperia Home beta is fine). And sometime it heats just doing nothing.
The performances are amazing, though! I can't make it lagging!! Well.. Actually I can. Enabling the Stamina mode. It isn't real lag but it feels like it goes down from 60 to 30 fps. I'd love to know why many complained about the lack of Stamina mode if the most it seems to do is to reduce the performances. And what the heck is that Ultra Stamina anyway.
PS: But yes, it has been a quite nice jump! Hopefully this one will last AT LEAST 3 years in terms of updates. :laugh:

3 years of updates would be amazing but ill doubt it, if it reaches at least 2 years, thats good enough, but hey, its Sony's decision

I dunno. The Xperia Z went through all updates from Jelly Bean 4.1.2 up to Lollipop 5.1.1. The Z3 won't get Nougat because (so I understood) Google simply doesn't support that HW for new Android releases.
But I see now that Sony calls the Xperia XC a "Premium Phone", the flagship for the X series starts with the Xperia XZ. And as premium we don't even get the Xperia Lounge gold subscription. Stingy b***s.
Yeah.. Android 8 might be the last. So annoying.
How do you know if quick charge is working? I downloaded Ampere and another battery tester app. Used the provided usb and an expensive Anker one and both apps and cables show 1050 mA charging using the provided QC3.0 charger. Does the screen need to be off or do I just not under quick charge? This is my first new phone in 4 years lol. Still loving my optimus g.
Anyone compare it to a Z3c? I typically get 5-7 hours of SoT on my 2014 Z3c and regularly go 3 days between charges if I don't use it much, which I've come to consider the norm now. This with Stamina mode only set to come on when the battery is under 35%. Will the Xc do as well?
Granted, it took a while to configure the Z3c to maximize battery -- disabling various pointless background apps and processes etc. -- but after size, the battery life is my favorite aspect of the Z3c.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Sony Xperia X Compact before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Anyone have any feedback? How does it compare to the s7 and s8? The original x?
I just want a small phone with good battery life as my s8 is too big.
I usually get about 7 or 8 hours

Really depends how you use. Example, if I have Bluetooth on always for Mi Band 2 connection, then it's about 3-5 hours. When it's off, it's 5-6 or even more hours. Coming from Samsung s6 it's real improvement.

Yesterday, with μTorrent open for 1-2 hours and I watched Saw IV for 1 hour.
I am thinking about getting a XC as backup phone but wondering how long is SOT while playing games and if it gets hot.

Are you going to buy a backup phone for playing games...? It will definately be fine though. It does not get hot and it's faster than you think.

Well the games I am looking at is mainly puzzle games, just worried mainly about performance since previous main phone was a xperia m4 aqua that couldn't do plain games and overheated. So I got myself a new main phone, axon7 and handles everything I toss at it but I still want a small and comfy phone for easy use on the go.

Go for the X Compact without a second thought. It has nothing to do with the M series by Sony, and handles everything in a surprisingly stable way.

Usually 2:30/3 hours of SoT.
Sadly Phone Idle process is a monster in battery draining. Never had more than 3 hours and half, even without playing games or watching videos.
Wonderful
