Proper battery care in Xperia xz

xznewbie — Sun, 11 Dec 2016 21:18:24 GMT

Hello guys.. May I know the optimum battery charging capacity for Xperia xz... Do I allow it to get down to 15% before recharging, or have it continuously topped up whenever it's near the AC outlet..?

Hi @xznewbie.

The Xperia XZ uses adaptive charging to prevent battery decline. It learns your charging patterns and adapts to them, resulting in up to twice the battery lifespan.

Basically, you do not have to wait for it to get low, you can plug it in whenever you need to.

Many times battery care does not recognize what time I want wake up and unplug the device from the charger, therefore this feature is not starting (no matter you set the alarm).

I assume the only proper battery care should be the way app allows you to select the time you unplug the device from the charger and therefore will work everytime.

battery care doesnt recognize different charging times. i dont plug the phone in to the same time every day. battery care is more of a marketing gag than a true useful tool.

Yes, I must say I find battery care to be rather inconsistent on the whole. I charge my device around the same time every evening before going to bed, & sometimes battery care is activated & other times its not.

It's a useless gimmick. Just buy a £4 mechanical mains socket timer and charge the phone for 2.5 hours whenever it suits.

Hi guys,

I want to know if the battery juice distribution is normal for my xperia xz.. the android consumes 42% while when the phone is idle it consumes 13%.. Is it normal? I noticed that even when the phone is idle the battery juice gradually declines.. Is there a way to control it.

I have tried shutting down the wifi,, even the cellular data connection , disablin one of the Simcard but there is still t hat noticeable loss in battery charge during the morning where the phone was unused for the night...

Can someone enlighten me on this matter?

trashcan sorry to hear that,
but you are on the wrong topic, this one is related to Battery Care feature only.

Please stick to the topic, otherwise post your comment on the relevant one or create a new one in case you won't be able to find the suitable thread.

Thank you.

Battery use distribution

xznewbie — Sat, 17 Dec 2016 06:48:31 GMT

Hello guys.. If your XZ is in stamina mood and the display is just 35%brightness. I GOT this value in battery used distribution :
Screen 23%,Facebook, 13%,Google play 12%,phone idle 12%,android OS10%,, chrome 4%,camera, 3%,cell standby3%, email 2%0, Google app 2%,viber2%
Now my question why does phone idle consume moderate battery power, as well as 1,sim in standby.
Does an idle function or in standby still consumes power?
Is it not for dual sim if one Sim us deactivated, and phone us idle there should be negligible power consumption. As I noticed if Both Sim cards are active there is an effect in battery life.?
What are your experiences with it. IS my situation normal.?
My xz is fully charged 100%at 7am.but become depleted at 6pm (15%power left).. I only occasionally surf at LTE, maybe 5times a day, running Facebook during that whole 7am to 6pm.
From your experience is my battery consumption normal or Abnormal..?

@trashcan

Why did you had 2 accounts?

That was before as when I logged with my almost forgotten account,upon getting my Xz (that it was not used often) then. This site won't accept it, so I have to make a new one.
I think it was already removed by then... But your question is irrelevant to the thread..
