Battery Drain

doministry — Tue, 27 Jun 2017 10:57:59 GMT

I have an unexpected battery drain.

It never happened before on any Xperia I've had.
Now even on idle it eats like 6, 7% overnight.
Crazy since it was always like 0%.

What is the process which can cause that?

In the morning, check in battery settings which app is consuming power.

Thanks mate.

I do check it always since I'm quite a conscious user of my phones.

But nothing unusual there actually.

Look at running processes in developer options and see which apps (not system processes) are constantly running. Facebook and FB Messenger will be two if you have them installed and from this list you might decide to ditch some apps.

This I know as well. I always monitor that.

The problem is I never had to close any processes exept Snapchat and Instagram to keep by batt life just perfect.

Now nothing new there yet the phone eats battery even on airplane mode even if it was like 0% through the night. And that's why I try to track the problem.

Hi,

It seems I have a similar problem with my Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. The battery is gettiung super warm and draining very fast. First when selecting flight mode it would help, but now out of a sudden not any more. The problem is getting worse because now also the touch screen and apps are getting blocked. Anybody any soltion or tip?

Thanks.

You shouldn't have to ditch apps that's the whole point of the phone! Get a Huawei they last forever

Hi, I am afraid I can't offer any solutions, only confirming that this is an issue. Over the last 5 to ten weeks the Android OS has taken the major part of my battery capasity, usually between 25 and 35 per cent. I event suspect it is more, as I have to charge the battery at least twice per 24 hour with moderate use and no kind of social media apps.

I'd be very happy to know if anyone knows of a fix to this.

PS: The OS 7.1.1 (with security update 1. September) and all apps have latest updates.

No, not really. The Android OS still consumes a substantial part of the battery capasity. However the last couple of days the battery drain seems to ease a bit, but I don't know why.

Got the same problem with my X Performance. Barely mire than a year old. It helped a bit when I disabled the 4G and reverted to 3G, but it still drains like a vampire.

I had a similar problem about a week ago but with Android system it was always the first on the list even when I'm not using the phone, this is what i did:

1.i turned off battery care and smart cleaner.

2. I made sure that location history and location sharing and nfc are off.

3. I turned off wifi and Bluetooth scanning, setting-location-press the 3 dots and turn them off.

4.i turned off usage info, setting - about phone-usage info

5.i drained the battery to around 5% then charged to 100, immediately cleaned cache and reseted apps preferences.

6. Restarted the phone

Now it's a bit better i also have airplane mode on most of the times.

My experia e4 battery gone worn out few months ago. Yesterday i replaced the battery with a new one. Last night i charged it by morning it wont turned on. And the battery is hot. I placed it near the aircon and turned it on, it turned on somehow but the battery got drained moments later. Until now i cant turn it on even when i charged it. You think the battery is the issue or the processing system? Please help.

Please check if you have made any login or permission changes to accounts used on the Xperia XA phone. For example, my wife's Xperia XA (F3111) mobile suddenly showed rapid and persistent battery drain losing, around 10% every 15 minutes and the phone got very hot indeed. I soon realized that I had recently changed the password for my Google account on my laptop an hour earlier and I found that my Google account and Gmail was also still resident on my wife's mobile phone, even though she'd never had reason to access it. I corrected the password for my Google account on her mobile and switched off the Location and Bluetooth device settings. The battery drain has stopped and the phone has stayed very cool. I had previously switched off 15 other apps but that didn't prevent the battery drain. Even switching off the 'Location' device setting for Google and Google Play apps failed as it was automatically reset to 'On' by Google Play Services. It was only after I removed the Location and phone component permissions for all Google applications that her Xperia XA battery started performing correctly. I suspect Google services were persistently hogging the mobile phone device resources and battery power by trying to repeatedly reconnect to Google servers using the failed password. One could argue whether Google or Sony are at fault in allowing such a wasteful drain of battery resource resulting in the uncomfortable and potentially dangerous heat build up in the mobile phone battery. Either way, this solution worked for us and I hope this may help any other users of Xperia XA phones and perhaps other makes and models too.
