AMAZING battery after update to Lollipop !!!!!

[Reventon]

After a very hard time (I almost threw it in trash) trying to update my T2 Ultra Dual to Lollipop, I succeded, and the phone is better now.

What surprised me is the battery performance now, as you can see on this screen I just took:

I also use Qualcomm's Battery Guru.

I'm very happy with my phone now because battery is something that I really need, even more than processor.

Amazing, heading for a week of life.

Can you post a picture of the battery graph just to see what is draining (even this small amount of battery).

@Thommo what do you think?

[Thommo]

Yeah I can do that - No calls - No music - No videos pretty much no nothing, just standby time so not a true reflection - and with very light usage like one phone call and not much of anything else you can easily get 2 weeks usage if not more and upto 30 days

Yes,but coverage has to be almost perfect,no mobile data and no connections. Strange,but achievable.

Ok ok, Sony Xperia's batteries are bad.....

But somebody did tell me that Lollipop does have battery saving features. One thing you see in Android is that all used apps are always running, unless you explicitly close it. What if the apps are closed automatically after a period of disuse? This will certainly increase battery time. Even an increase of a couple of hours in battery time means something.

Also, if you set the screen to "adapt to lighting conditions", you get an extra one-day in battery life. The screen is the main power guzzler. But the screen is not very readable indoors if you set it to "adapt to lighting conditions".

Is there any setting by which  I can increase or decrease the amount of screen brightness decided by "adapt to lighting conditions"?
