Try an Cpu Temperature app to see if it's really hot and if it's hot send it to a repair center
Or are you overclocking the device? It will get hot if you do that

Is it always 45 ℃? Because that's not too hot
Its a known issue with quite a few midrange phones

Hmm, very strange because I have a random issue with overheating, resets or battery draining when I put it under a second pillow I have in my bed. :laugh: Only times it starts to overheat is when I play games for a long period of time.
I'm afraid after updating to 4.1.1 my devices also gets hot while connected to WiFi and playing some music , games or whatever (heavy usage). During charge too the camera lens and the metallic plate gets hot more than the plastic back itself. Never had this problem on ICS. I'm glad to see that I'm not alone :beer:

I forgot to mention that battery drain is also there in JB :S
Take a look at this, after full charge from 7am till 10 min before 3pm used it and saw a drop of 6% in first 10 min only Horrible.
Via HTC sense
If your phone is heating up that just points to 2 issues either the battery or your apps usage....
Sad part about jb is more ram usage by the system... if ur device gets hot near the camera region that says that background processes are taking cpy usage which heats up the phone like when you play hd games for long times on desire x or to that fact any
modern android phone like a nexus 4...
If your phone gets hot towards the right side where SD card slot is located (which is very rare issue) try changing your SD card or upgrading it to a at least a class 6 SD card....
If its a battery issue and that region gets hot just replace your battery it will be good as new....
If your facing the first case I would suggest you to monitor which app or background process takes up a lot of ram uninstall it it should do the trick
My battery temperature is usually 33 degrees it's cool and battery life is decent I get a 12-16 hrs usage so m pretty happy with jb :beer: :beer:

Well you said you are using JB for 4 days, a new android version needs a week sometimes to work perfectly. Give it some more time.
If that doesnt help, try to cablirate your battery (take it down from 100% to the point where the phone shuts off because of low battery and then charge it to 100% without using it)

First off all I don't really play any heavy games on this device then bout the SD card, I have a class 10 Strontium SD card, which I suppose shouldn't be a issue. I bought this device a week back so changing the battery to another new one is worthless, you know it my battery is already almost new.
Battery life is really Getting worst every damn time, seriously a drop of 15-20% after every 10 min is killing the purpose of getting this phone

Xperia z2 overheating and battery draining issue...:(

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

experience with my first xperia, z1. Is it just me ?

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.

Battery life discussion

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:

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.

Screen on time

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.
