My battery is draining faster than I would have expected, based on what I've read on the Z2.
Checked battery usage and the Walkman app is using lots of battery - but I haven't been using that app so what's going on and how can I solve this?
I've attached a screenshot.
Would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks

Thanks but I think I fixed it. This morning when the battery was 100% I deleted the Walkman widget. Even though I hadn't been playing music or interacting with the widget it must have been doing something and using the battery to do it. Battery is holding up well today and Walkman isn't even listed in Battery usage now.
Not sure why the widget was doing this as I even have background data disabled for Walkman

Walkman up at 23% again today - I put the widget back just to test it - I haven't used it but am connected to Music Unlimited so wonder does the widget continually try and connect to that service? Here's the other screenshots from within Walkman's battery usage
Not sure if this helps, but why don't you give Greenify a go?
Also make sure your device is battery life optimized

Yes. something show the percents
Battery Monitor Widget Pro !
I use BatteryLife.
I like BattStatt, its really nice!
Its Pro version was recently released for free in market, and is much more customisable.
I'm using Smart Batter Monitor.
It's not a widget, but I'm very fond of Circular Battery Indicator

I've used this for a long time now - like it a lot
I used Vizbattery. ( no connection to the comic lol)
Simple, elegant and not very obtrusive
ive been using the make your clock widget with battery for a while now
i use clarus battery
can i say none?
well not if you are running gingerbread........
I brought juice defender ultimate and i like to think it made a bit of a
difference when running froyo.
Since i began running cyanogenmod i cant see any improvement what so ever-
I believe it may just be the way i personally use my phone;
I am constantly on my phone all day flicking it on and then locking it.
I think it may use alot of power creating a data connection(handshakes with server)
than what it would be if it was just left running in the background.
Bluetooth is never switched on, Gps on all the time,
I get 2 days usage typical/ I see roughly a 8- 10% drop per hour when listening to music on my headphones
If you dont use your phone alot you may see more of a difference.
Only my personal experience
Battery Monitor Widget Pro indeed.
use PowerTime as it tells you aproximately how long your battery will last you. It is also very customizable as a widget and it tells you how long your battery will last you according to your overall battery usage stats.

I have wanted to use that myself but have not figured out for wildfire. Did the desire files work or did you have to recompile for the wildfire?
Do you also know if you can flash this over an existing theme you're using?
About the battery app. Don't use any widget, every widget consumes battery life. I just use the option in cyanogenmod that has a little color bar and the percentage number next to it... And the circulars posted above make it even cooler.
hey according to me ,,u download "android system" from market...it wil show u batteru...even details of rom n al......
i think the best way is http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
it just makes battery with percents in status bar... without any widgets
earlier, without root the phone i used Fbreader it can show also battery with percents... any other ways just decrease battery charge

hi renzobm, i recommend to do not delete radio.apk(Its Important If You love your country's music), follow the battery saver settings at the post #1

'' Battery used by the radio'' refers to telephony features.
Thanks

Radio-usage are all the stuff when the handset transmits something or recieve something
- Cell-tower-communication 2G/3G/Data (sometimes with bad connection, or too few cell-towers, 3G uses more battery because it keeps trying to find a new and better cell-tower)
- WIFI
- Bluetooth
- And also FM-radio (Radio-apk) (try to play mp3-music for as long as it can, and then try the same with FM-radio - my guess is, that it uses more battery to listen to FM-radio)
just to notice
i have been in the Philippines now since 2nd May, and only charging 1 time.
I know they have got 3G because it's possible to have unlimited internet on the handset for a monthly fixed price, but I have not updated connection settings. I think I am only using 2G.
also every day I use some wifi arond the mansion.
some should try to find a way so 3G does not use that much power. I know it has something to do with 3G constantly trying to find a better cell-tower.
EDIT: using local provider Globe SIM-card
thanks for the useful information

Probably some kind of wake lock. Use betterbattery stats or wakelock detector and see if any of your apps are keeping your phone from idling.
@rahulbrand
If your phone heats after booting that means that u have a lot of multimedia files to scan. Process named like android_proces_media will keep your CPU in maximum frequency until he scans all of the multimedia.
And one more questions.
Which rom are u using ?
And i saw internet speed icon on your statusbar. I now which app are u using (Internetspeed.apk). Please uninstall it for now. It definitly wakes up system very often.

What is optimising page?
what new sony applications you got? i got nothing but a small UI tweak on the messaging.. the contacts icons were a bit bigger and the chat balloon changed it's colour.. more like whatsapp style.
better speed? i don't see any improvement in the performance though.
what's up with sound problem?
battery, i haven't tested yet. but i feel it is still the same

smartlock secure location never worked on my phone in marshmallow.. it really pisses me off.. even in hangouts.. you can't send your location because google services will stop responding.

google Xperifirm ...... install ...... download firmware for your specific Xperia model
If i am rooted, have xposed + some modules installed, and have adoptive storage, in wich some of my apps installed, can i then update my system with flashtool, without ****ing it all up?
i must admit, update is very good and optimize, ii downloaded customized CH, for switzerland market, have factory unlocked m4, works like a charm. it is faster , and smoother than previous update. adoptable storage still works... good sony, good
Which version are you using all?
I downloaded the customized US, so far ive seen nothing new feels like same
