2 battery (?) problems - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, sorry for likely mistakes cause i have to write fast
My phone is sony xperia z1 compact
My first battery ( more likely software) problem is that my battery drains from 50-30 to 0 in seconds many times(not always though)
Second is that my battery shows x% and after reboot y% is completely different (70 to 5 and after 4 reboots 55)
Ive tried repairing phone trough pc companion but nothing helps
I have a locked bootloader therefore no rw system directory and i am rooted
Thanks for help

It could do; quite a few of us had a similar problem and changing the battery solved it:

its not posible to calibrate a xperia s(L) battery , it auto calibrates, if you use battery calibaration apps, it just deletes a important file, (which may have ruined your battery)
i suggest keep letting your battery go to 0% then charing to 100% , the battery will calbrate its self

Its hard to know what can be the problem.you should try uninstalling greenify and observe the change.I observed without greenify phone usage is more but with greenify standby is more(thats what I need)
I'm having the same issue, but my phone is a Xperia V.
I have never calibrated the battery.

It might not be an issue; when you turned off your screen, battery was being eaten away and when the screen is turned on it shows the change at that time. Similar stuff happens to the clock.
If you have messed with any system files I suggest you perform a factory reset.

battery percentage

Hey guys, just wanted to ask you if any of you had had a smilar problem. Mainly, my battery percentage goes for example to 95%, and then after a few minutes it goes back to 97%-.. is this normal, or is it time for me to change the battery ?

hasn't happened to me yet. You'd better let the battery discharge completely once and charge it fully. Then see if it works or not
Apart from enoromous readings battery works fine.

stock or cm or aosp rom?
Stock 4.1.2
i didn't have that on stock only on cm and aosp
Heeeeey I started to notice this on my stock rom 4.1.2 yesterday after reading your thread :| But you can be sure that it's not a problem since I've bought my g last week so it can't be because of your battery age. It's natural. I think it's impossible to show the correct and exact battery percentage in any OS. To test, you can let your battery discharge to the end and you'll see that the end is sometimes 3 percent (the device goes off when it has 3 percent or more left) and sometimes you get 0 percent but the device is on Maybe that's why percentage is off by default.
I contacted LG and they said it's normal. Is it normal?

Yes it is, it happens on my device from time to time and I believe it's guesstimation technology :highfive:
What can drain battery faster on this phone?
Browsing the internet through Wifi or 3G?
Thanks.

[Q] Jellybean or Kitkat?

So I've this Z1 Compact and I charged it to 100% when i got home (the first charge) since its Li-ion and cause I've read everywhere that you don't need to keep it plugged in for 6hrs straight I din't let it.
The next day morning itself I found Kitkat update and updated. But it seems the battery drain is far more on Kitkat than on jellybean as per reports from a whole lot of people who get upto 7hrs screen on time or more on Jellbean and I manage barely 4-5hrs max even on wifi.
Kitkat was supposed to have better battery life, as is the case with most other phones and that's why I din't give it a second thought and updated, now I'm thinking of rotting and flashing back Jellybean stock rom, what do you guys think?
And from the last 2 days, camera app is also behaving a bit odd, in manual mode specially, its hanging when i click a photo and the photo doesnt get saved, to avoid a reboot i just lock screen and turn on.
So any suggestions?

Stock KK here, rooted and debloated but bootloader locked. Yeah, JB have better battery but difference is not significant maybe 30min. difference in screen time. Nonetheless phone can still survive a day of heavy use and still go home with a juice to spare.

Photo not getting clicked actually, as it gets hung, and at times launching camera from lock screen also leads to this

im sorry to hear about that. Hey, have you tried factory reset? i really never experience those bugs. Have you tried repair using PC companion? Flashing would flashtool is better but repairing with PC companion also does the trick.

really sorry to hear about that. maybe you try downgrading to JB. If it still persist then maybe that's a hardware problem already. It's the first time i heard that bug really so that's the only thing that I can suggest.

Ok so i hope it ll solved on the next one
I use my phone only as a simple phone to make and receive occasional calls, with very occasional use of Google Search and Google Maps. It uses ~13% of remaining battery in a 24 hour period. I get 5 to 7 days out of a full charge. Right now mine is at 41% and i am in day 5. I expect it to be at ~36% tomorrow morning, beginning day 6. At the end of that day or beginning of next, at a bit more than 20%, i'll charge it again.
I would not expect to use the phone with the battery at anything less than 20%. I have it for emergencies, and i would not trust it at that level.

Abnormal battery drain

After installing lollipop OTA, I experienced battery drain, so I did a factory reset and the battery was better than ever. Now recently, for the past 3 days, the battery is awful. Doesn't even keep a charge for like 5 hours. Look at the screenshot. I am fed up of always doing factory resets, and I barely have any apps installed. This isn't normal. I have an SD card, I tried removing it for a day and I still experienced the same battery drain.
Gsam / WLD / BBS?

I find battery life unstable too on all Lollipop versions from D to H. Test versions had much better battery life.
I also tried greenifying apps that wake my phone often, but still I see percentage drop even when I don't use the phone. I barely use phone thourghout the day (30mins-1hour on screen time in the end of the day) and I am left with 70% before going to sleep.
Try doing a CSE flash via FlashTool versus doing a factory reset. See if that helps.
