Battery drain 3x on 23.5.A.0.575

[Alper77]

I loved this phone with its two day battery life, even after Marshmallow .570.

Few days ago did the latest xperia system update, and now the phone, charged in the morning barely makes it to the eve, with normal usage.

In idle it loses around 5-10% per hour, when I take the phone in my hand, I can see the battery countdown.

Is there a way to get back to .570 firmware?

Removed the app, and now the battery life has increased.

Still testing, but at least now I don't watch the battery countdown

hi guys ,

any ideas if the Z3c is getting the Stamina mode update on marshmallow like the Z5 family and the Z3+ has got?

it was a really nice feature and lots of others want to get that feature back on their phones as the dose mode from 6.0.1 is useless.

Battery is no longer an joker for Sony

One of the best features - Ultra Stamina disapeared. Before I could easily swich to ultra stamina if I had 15% battery and about 6 estimated hours until I'll get home to charge, and all was great. But now I have to keep my charger/external battery with me all the way.

Biggest dissapointment in Sony with this update.

Bring back Stamina's please!

Based on Sony's reply, I used the Companion software to reinstall the Android 6.0.1.

It really screwed up all my apps, home pages and the contacts but after installation the battery life

was extended 48+ hours. Although I had to re-do most of the apps, settings, and home pages, I was still thrilled about the

length of the battery life ( charging twice a day for a light user like me and not charging for 48 hours).

However, it lasted only a week. I am back to charging two or three times a day.

Now I hate to do a reinstall and screw up my contacts again and loose apps and settings.

Sony has to to something to fix this.

Same problem here

Looks like that it is the mobile radio service that needs more power after that update. I don't use the phone but the mobile radio service used 13% power. Plz fix that

Since update 24.5.A.0.575 my phone is heating and fast battery drain only under mobile data network, no problems using wi-fi. I don't know if, in this case, is necessary to try a reset using Xperia Companion, it seems more a problem of the updated radio module with this firmware. Any suggestion?

They are useless telling you to perform software repair, it does nothing but it is a waste of time. Basically it is a software issue and Sony people know it but they don't know how to fix it and admitt it. Shame on you Sony.
