High battery drain

[alexhdkn1]

Hi everyone, how long your XZ1 C lasts? I can barely end a day with a single charge, most of the time being under wifi connection. I don't use social media, only Instagram, i have 3 mail accounts with hourly updates, and telegram and WhatsApp.

There is a weird drain that we are not able to detect. its being discussed here also:

Hey there, 

I'm able to use my phone a day and a half during week days. And I manage to get through the weekend without a single charge. 

WiFi, BT  GPS... All is turned on always... Maybe you have a third party app draining your battery?

Maybe you should check your advanced battery settings and see which app is the most power demanding?

I update the post:

Saturday I repaired the phone (2nd time in less than 1 month) and configured it as new, without Telegram, mail, Instagram (I don't use Facebook or Twitter), no games (I don't play games) and disabled some Google Apps, Sony Apps and Meteo App.

Yesterday I did more than 8 hours of SOT in 26 hours, I was under wifi at home (i was sick). Today i charged it and at 12:30 (Italy hour) it reached 100%. Now at 17:07 I'm at 85% with 1h 32m of sot in 4h 48m of use. I've used mostly 4G with Whatsapp and Chrome navigation (webmail (outlook, yahoo) and other websites). I've used wifi a bit and i've noticed a higher battery consumption, switching to mobile data reduced it.

Another update:

The pictures above are from yesterday, only 4G network.

today at 38%today at 38% pt2today at 38% pt3

The pictures above are of today, 38% with some Spotify music, web navigation, webmail, some calls and Whatsapp.

I also have disabled the following apps disabled appsdisabled apps pt2disabled apps pt3

I wonder why sony preinstalls Amazon's, Facebook's bloatware and also Spotify too. (note: i have disable spotify later in the morning as I have disabled my premium account.)

Also I have noticed that the SOT time is not matching the sum of the apps, bug maybe? During the night i lost 5% over nearly 7 hours of sleep with wifi off, mobile data off and set in 2G, I think it's a bit too much.

I think 5% battery drain in standby mode for 7 hours is more than reasonable. This would equate to 140 hours total if it stayed at that consumption  (or pretty much 6 days).

My older G6 with Snapdragon 821 had a lower battery drain during night and it has a less efficient chip (14nm).

These are from today, but I've used WiFi more, 2, 2.5 hours and I've used also WhatsApp from web, it seems that WiFi drain is a bit higher than I expected.
