I dont know what's happening with my device the last week..battery is draining so fast..my phone used to stay 1 day 12hours + with similar usage..now it's staying 12hours! And now i was shocked when i saw my battery draining from 50% to 39% within 8mins
It's true i have lifelog running but it's just collecting applications and SWR10 activities..anything other is off

Any help?

Thanks..will try it tmrw

ATM i'm charging the battery..i will keep it until i wake up on the charger and will use the phone without stamina..bcz i guess it's kind of fault related to stamina,software or rare battery fault..i hope so..not a severe problem and i hope i can get back my old battery life..the one i experienced the first 2 months with my z2

Also sony should give an interest on improving z2..the release of z3 just threw z2 owners far behind..also z3 got too much new software features which can all be easily present for z2 in upcoming updates..what i hope so

@amfirbek92 - Have you checked which applications are using the battery the most: Main Menu > Settings > Power Management > Battery Usage.

For sure i did..nothing, the problem is not related to a third party application for sure..nothing can drop the battery from 50 to 39 in just seconds

Again and again..the problem persists on the same cycle, battery falls in seconds..and this time the phone was on sleep..that's really irritating

Please do check the area I have advised you off and provide the details of the apps there, it doesnt just show third party apps.

Something is not accurate in the area u provided me to check..have a look

Yesterday morning i used runtastic bike for 2hours..once got home..i stopped the session and turned location off..up to now battery usage still showing gps is on while battery is draining normally

Another bugs i'm facing..call and notifications sound randomly gets low especially after unplugging the charger and u cannot choose scenes in manual mode in camera (scene button is always grey)

Probably the app is still working in the background.

About the scene,you cannot change scene in 20.7 MP mode.

Re: abnormal battery drain

amfirbek92 — Tue, 16 Sep 2014 11:36:18 GMT

Even in 15.5MP mode..this thing is also irritating
Not really about runtastic..bcz i force stopped it and force stopped all its services as well as google location services bla bla...u will find same results with lifelog app when turning logger on for location

Re: abnormal battery drain

_alexdon_ — Tue, 16 Sep 2014 11:48:40 GMT

Really don't know,does the same battery problem occur in safe mode?

Only in 8 MP you can change the scene if I remember.

Re: abnormal battery drain

amfirbek92 — Tue, 16 Sep 2014 11:54:36 GMT

Yes on 50-39% cycle

At least i'm not the only one facing such problem over here..thanks for ur support

The big problem here is that we are not seeing anything out of the ordinary in the Battery Usage section other than the application you are using. However given that this is not the only potential software issue you are facing I would advise trying a firmware repair to see if this helps:

1. Download the PC Companion software from http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
and install it on your PC.
2. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
3. Phone Software Update.
4. Start.
5. Repair Phone
6. Continue
7. Accept data removal
8. Next
9. Wait for prepare
10. Select Phone
11. Follow the connection steps

"accept data removal" that's not a good deal

Im pretty sure wrong bar concerning gps usage in battery usage is something related to android 4.4.2

1: i can remember such a problem with my xperia Z after 4.4.2 upgrade, before getting my z2

2: i tried logging location with lifelog on my tablet z (4.4.4) no such a bug (no wrong gps bar)

3: Restarting the phone stops the bar and removes the application from battery usage

I prefer waiting for you to give us new firmware update

Btw any news about z2 updates? Why still no 4.4.4?
