New z5 battery life

[Mozzyd]

OK so "upgraded" to a Z5 from Z2 at the weekend and i am struggling with the battery life. I charged it at the weekend and it gave me a life of 17hours! I have just charged it to 100% now and it says 9 hours. This is nowhere near the 48 hours in the spec.

I have gone back to the shop where i bought it and they have asked me to keep it a week to see if it gets better. As a comparison i charged my old Z2 and New Z5 yesterday and at standby with now apps running no data bluetooth etc. the Z2 was showing 97% whereas the Z5 was down t 83% this is not normal is it. The shop tested the battery and say its ruinning ok.

Is the battery that bad?

Return the device. Wait for 15 days and get an X performance.

 I have a similar issue too...

First day back at work after my holiday and I thought I'd test battery usage on the way in as it's really been annoying me. Unplugged my phone at 7.30am and got to office at 8.50am. As of now I'm on 62%

All I have done on the commute is read gReader, prob for 35-45 mins.
This does not seem reasonable battery usage...

Been sitting at my desk, screen off and dropped another 20% - what is going on!?

How would connecting to PC Companion fix the issue? The way  i look at it there is something sapping the battery when the phone is in standby. The graph should be more horizontal overnight.

Right i did a live chat with someone from Sony yesterday and using the "repair phone" in PC Companion seems to have solved the issue battery has hardly drained overnight and did even go down after bluetoothing to the car this morning . Charging up to 100% now so fingers crossed.

Have sen other threads regarding battery life being poor after updates so hoping i dont have to keep doing this.

@Mashaeel

the more that you use the phone the hotter it will get, if you are using heavy apps/games, it will heat up faster.
