So my first z2 had the self crack on the front screen.
I RMA'D it to Sony and I'm awaiting response, I couldn't be phoneless so I bought a second z2
z2...I'm pretty sure everything is setup the same, and I've followed the battery saving guide posted here.
However I'm getting much worse battery life. My old z2 was getting am easy 16 hour day with 4-5 screen time, now I'm lucky to get 10-12 hours with 3-4 screen time.
Anything I can do to try and figure this out?

how long dos your battery last WITH THE SCREEN ON with and without 4g poll
I can't tell you the time without, but I can say 4+ hours with. Wifi/GPS etc. turned off however.
I can get away with charging it every second day with light use.
Now THAT IS an interesting question. Gonna try this next day off rofl.
xD
well reading over all these battery threads they brag nonstop about godlike battery life i highly doubt them and because of their incessant bragging over 2 days of battery doing blah blah people assume something is wrong with their battery. i highly invite them to take this poll and see their actual screen on time they guess that they played for 15 - 30 mins when it was only ten or so , this poll ought to straighten things out so we actually know wether these battery issues are normal for everyone.
This pool is a bit too restricting. There are other things that impact battery life... like screen brightness and haptic feedback to name two.
I can say My phone lasts, every day, from 9am to 2am with moderate use, about 4 hours screen on.
I cant turn off 4g, but on my phone I get 24hrs use with 5hrs screen time with Wifi on 7-8hrs. I use autobrightness, have next to no widgets, and a static wallpaper.
The reviews I have seen make it seem like the battery life should be much better though.
Sent from my Atrix
As the lady said in Full Metal Jacket, "Me love you long time."
In all honesty I'm a little disappointed with the battery life on my Atrix. I pretty much bought this phone as a replacement over my iPhone 3GS, because the battery would barley last 2 days with little to no use, but I can't say the Atrix provides much improvement either. With minimal use I'd get around 2 days of battery with my Atrix. Today I charged my phone at 7:30PM and with little use (maybe 20min in total) the battery is at 80% after 10 hours. Either this is normal or mine is faulty, cause the area around near the main front buttons and where the Moto blur logo is on the back constantly gets warm during normal use. I've had the phone for a little over a week now, so if I'm the only one having these issues then maybe I should go to a Bell store and exchange it for a new one.
I am a bit disappointed with the drain of the battery compared to all other tablets available out there. Mine drain like 1% in every 4.5 mins when you use it for browsing websites, which last only 7.X hours.
7 hrs for me is acceptable but i am just wondering hows everyone else doing on their battery. Do you like it so far
My battery was draining pretty quick for the first two or three days but it's settled now and seems to be getting better.
Same with me. It started off draining quickly, but I've noticed that it's getting better. The battery life may not be the best out there but it's reasonable enough.
I can maximize my A500 Tablet more than 10hrs. only when I'm using Battery Booster v3.3 but if not, until 9.5 or exactly 10hrs only.
Yeah same battery was burning quick initially now its pretty even and like an idiot I left gps ticked on indoors which certainly didnt help
Yeah, I can confirm that the battery life has gotten a lot better after a week of using it.
I returned mine because of an issue that the gray cover part of the back was coming out very easy, I got a new one and this one drains battery very very slowly even at the first charge!
I must admit iam not that impressed with battery life so far,it drains about 20% overnight in airplane mode.
I charged mine to full last night used it for web browsing and music was down to 68% after two hours.
This morning was at 48% left on airplane mode this morning until 1pm was at 17% when I got home.
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
A lot of the pre-launch reviews warned about battery issues, so I thought it would be a problem. I have been pleasantly surprised. I charge it once a day in the cradle. I use the tablet most heavily at night, and usually have a half battery in the morning. The first day I had it I went several hours on the 20% it had out of the box. Not bad at all.
I was using mine for about 3 hours last night and coming from a full charge I still had 80% battery left so it's definitely improved a lot
my battery goes down about 10% every hour... while watching video using bluetooth MW600 with wifi conneected to my phone...
n my x10 battery goes down about 30% per hour, sad...
Got no problem with battery life got a problem with recharge time tho it is real slow.
How is the standby time of your Tablet S? I have 80% battery left on last Friday, but this morning (Monday, that means has been two days more), I can't boot my device, no juice left in my tablet S. I did not use it on Saturday and Sunday. This is very weird.
According to the Sony website, the stand by time is 400 hours, of course I don't believe these numbers. But let's say 200 hours standby time is worth to trust. My tablet S doesn't even last for 48 hours. Has anyone encountered the problem I had?
so far im not convinced by the battery. I purchased mine on Friday and hoping what everybody else says is true - that it gets better after a few days, but I suspect this is due to the "honeymoon" period being over and people stop playing with it as much.
I put mine down last night at 95% at around 10pm. I checked again this morning at 8am and it was down to 65%. To me that doesn't quite sound right. I've turned off all syncing and location services now and Wifi is set to go off when the screen turns off so I will see how long it lasts after a full charge tonight.
I am starting to feel really disappointed by the battery life... =(

Same here !
The S1 drains the battery really fast over night.
It seems that the cpu is always active and dont use something like a "sleep mode" ...
Anyone has suggestions what to try without root ?
I have returned my tablet. However battery life was worse then the Jetstream and worse then the Ipad2
It might not be a Sony problem. Check your apps. Android doesnt have that good of control over apps like Apple has so they are not all optimized.
You will be surprised how many of them will eat away at your battery even in stand by.
Here is how i test it. I go into Settings>Applications and go and force close every single app that im not using. Then i put the tablet in stand by and check it after a few hours. I say a few hours because after one hour the battery doesnt even move in stand by.

I get what you're saying. Though, there is definitely something wrong with this (or my) tablet's battery life. I have closed apps, and even turned off all the radios overnight; but I went from 74% to 34% in just 10 hours overnight in standby! This is unusual. I charged my tab yesterday morning, and used it very moderately. I used to have a xoom and a tf, but they would probably still have roughly 75% - 85% left?!! Maybe this is a hardware issue on my tablet, specifically? I can't return it. I am about to call Sony about this. Does anyone else have dramatic battery drains like I have been experiencing?
EDIT: Food for thought - I once had my xoom last over 21 days in one charge alone! This was obviously with VERY little use, but the Sony tab wouldn't even last 5 days in that scenario?!

The specs for S tab along with the battery type in it should last but for some reason it is inconsident. Ive had days where Ive turned it off at 90% and turned it back on later in the day at 89% and somedays its gotten as low as 60%...for no apparent reason. So something is odd.
Hi Everyone,
I'm just wondering if I have an issue or not. I've already went through one G5 which was severely overheating and was giving me less than 2 hours of screen on time within the first week. I'm on my second G5 now and have had it a little over a week, but the screen on time seems to be dropping drastically. When I first got it, I have a SOT of 5+ hours. Then it got progressively worse until yesterday it barely made it to 3 hours and today it was under 3 hours. I'm a fairly heavy user, but it seems like I can literally watch the battery percentage tick by when I have the screen on. In fact, it seems like it's markedly worse when the battery is under 50%. For example, today at 50% I had a SOT of about 2 hours 15 minutes, and then for the last 50% it was like 45 minutes TOPS before it was drained. My standby time is absolutely amazing, with it losing less that 1% in five hours.
I just don't know what to do. I have 5 more days before I can exchange it no questions asked. I just see some people with 7+ hours SOT and it seems like mine is heading in the opposite direction.
Cheers,
Bloody
3-4hrs of SOT is average/normal
3 hours of SOT is on par, or very slightly subpar, with other users. Some, like me, get a bit more, but just because i do not use Facebook, or games. You should consider which apps you are using, if there's something always on and in "Sync" it's gonna eat up the battery a bit more. If you game a lot, same. That said, this is not a huge battery, but it should be big enough to get to bed. Can i suggest maybe (i know its obvious...but!) cleaning up the recent apps, taking more care in switching on and off the wifi...this kind of things could get you 30+min more in a day which could be enough to get trough the night.
To answer your question, you probably have not a defective unit. If this SOT time is not even close to what you need, the brightness of the screen poses a big problem for you, and you don't care as much for the awesome camera compartment, or the swappable battery, and you dont hate touchwiz, and you can return it no question asked, the s7edge has better battery time, and higher brightness and saturation.
I average 3 hr SOT. It's normal. Total 13.75 hours on average with 5.5 hrs active.
With the brightness about 30%, I could have about 4 to 5 hours browsing web with wifi...
Is anyone else getting poor battery life? Im getting just over 3 hours screen time to a charge. I don't have the official charger but I'm using a quality Anker one so that shouldn't cause a problem. I've come from a Lenovo p2 that used to last 9 hours so it's a bit of a shock

Well same here but sometimes I get 6.30 hours sir but generally around 3 4 4.30 maybe it becomes good after updates idk.
Restart it once a week. Something is getting hung up in the back. I clear my cache once a week. I get 5-7avg over 2.5-3 days per charge. N shut off the location sharing and wifi scanning. Helps so much
Hello all, it's been a while since I've posted but this is quite a serious issue and could some guidance. A few weeks ago, I finally updated my Galaxy S9+ to Android 10 after being on 8.0 for so long and it's been a decent update so far. I had gripes with SoT not being the greatest but it was tolerable. Last night, I received an update for my phone and I installed it. Didn't think too much of it and continued on. I charged from my phone to ~87% today, used it lightly while working. By the end of my shift, I had 50% left.
I left the house to go for a 81 minute walk with 47%. I usually don't worry about having enough juice to make it back home but I experienced the worst battery drain I've had with this device so far. During my 90 min walk I:
listened to Spotify using my Galaxy Buds (one ended up dying towards the end because I forgot to charge them)
Checked Instagram occasionally and responded to some texts
Took 2 pics in Snapchat
Had a short video call on Messenger
It was right after the video call I noticed my battery was at 17%, which I thought was very strange. I don't leave apps running in the background for long and I have a habit of closing them out when not actively using them and I noticed the battery kept on draining despite there being no apps open besides Spotify.
Turned on the medium power saving and within a few minutes, I was at 5%. Decided to kill everything and pit my device on max power saving mode for the first time since I've owned the device. By the time I was home, my phone was at 1%.
I'm really baffled at how the battery drained at an exponential rate. I'm a medium user and I've had this phone since late 2018. Never leave location services on, never used AOD, and used the FHD display instead of QHD along with dark mode.
I'm hoping today was just an outlier as I want to keep this phone for another 2 years, but if this happens on a consistent basis I'm gonna have to start searching for a new device.
In the meantime, I have charged my phone to a 100% and disconnected the phone and observed the following:
Within 2 minutes of disconnecting, battery went from 100 - 98%. Not a good sign considering it was just idling
The battery continue to drain every other minute and I could see the battery go down on each unlock
Wiped the cache partition and I went from 93 to 94% for a brief moment prior to the phone going back to the same pattern
This is very worrisome to me as I don't believe the phone will last until midnight, I'm wondering if it's possible to roll back to the previous update.
TL;DR - After the update yesterday, the battery drained at an exponential rate despite light to medium usage
Also, here's some screenshots of my battery usage

I know this isn't the answer you are looking for, but all I can do is suggest changing the battery and doing a full, stock firmware flash via Odin to completely wipe your phone.
I recently replaced my phone's battery and did flash the firmware and my battery is really hanging in there. My battery was also 2 years old and before, I would get about 3h SOT when I play a game (and I do a lot). Now, I'm getting 5h SOT no problem with about 2-3h gaming included, so I really do suggest a battery change. I'm thinking you could be able to squeeze another 1 or 2 years into this amazing phone.
