Okay guys...!! To start with I was very upset with my battery life that it doesn't even last a day or even 4-5 hours...

I was so upset that I was feeling like taking a new phone instead of this...

I also tried to add custom ROMS ( Cyanogen Mod 10.1.2, PAC ROM, AOSP )...

but nothing worked out for me...I keep asking in the forum of XDA how to save battery life, which rom does give more battery life..

Finally, I've found my own way to increase the battery life, It says learning on its own teaches you everything...!!!

I learned finally how to increase the battery life...!!

To start with, I'll let you know how much I used and how much % battery it lasted...

On my daily usage it comes to Whatsapp+ using it 24/7...!! Facebook, downloading apps, Browsing on Google Chrome, Listening Music allot, Playing games ( smaller games like Wheres my water, Despicable me, Ninja jump, Pool, Cricket, temple run, angry birds..) Asphalt 8 really sucks in battery...If you use it for 20 minutes and play that game your battery will jump from 70 to 55%...

Even after using my battery so much, I had 13% left to use...!!! A REAL SHOCK

After doing all that My battery lasted for 9 hrs and 52 minutes...!!! I was really shock with it...!!! But it really worked out...!!! :)

Stamina mod showed 1day and some minutes as a standby mod...!! I'll soon post the screenshot...!!

Lets start:

It's just 10 Simple steps :)

you need to 1st VVVV important thing is to ROOT the phone..!!

2nd..Again important thing...!!! ( DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY BATTERY SAVING APPS )..Examples are ( GO power, Juice Defender which sucks for me, DU Battery saver...!!! )

3rd...Keep the Stamina MOD on..!!

4th..Download Better Battery Stats...for your guidance...!!

5th Make your screen brightness to 0...( Select Adapt to light conditions )...Trust me making brightness to 0 will still help you to see anything on the mobile even in the sun..I've tried it..

6th Download Greenify for Hibernating apps....which will not eat your battery allot ( Worked for me like a charm ).

7th Download Startup manager...For stopping all the apps that start when you boot the phone..

8th Don't keep any launchers ( Next Launcher, Go Launcher, Nova launcher or any other launcher except for the Xperia Home..)

9th On the homescreen, put the apps only on 1 page...!!

10th Don't use any Live wallpaper or anything news or weather widget...!!

Trust me guys..!! You'll definitely see results as I've experienced it and I'm now really happy with my Xperia Z ( Rooted) phone..!!!

Below are the screenshots!!

Uploaded new photos...!!!!

OP!!!

Rather than using apps like Startup manager, it is better to de-bloat and remove system apps that is known to eat up the battery or converting them to user apps, and then greenify the **** out of them.

Also with the use of custom kernel with undervolt and init.d script support will help a lot - it makes the battery life tweaking easier!

i dont prefer custom rom where with the stock rom i get 9 hours of battery...

Why to undervolt and do stuff like that...

With Stock rom the battery life worked for me with the above steps...!!!

Great to see some competing tips-thread for the XZ about increasing battery life! Competition will help the consumers/users in the end :) And as I still count myself also as a user I hope you find some great tips I couldn't find!

If you want I can include a link to your thread in my thread's original post to push yours a little more. Have a look here:

Not everything, Just what you never use but Google decides that it should be running in the background wasting battery for nothing...

Its up to the reader to decide whats Worth or not to disable then.

exactly, why shouldn't we disable/shut off certain things: There are plenty of features or apps
1. I tested but didn't like or
2. which I know better alternatives to or
3. which I never use or
4. ...

Why should we leave these things (ON) on our phones?
Thats irrational.

Lol example from the op:

Keep screen brightness at zero

Only one page of apps no widgets

Sorry but I'd rather have a bit less battery than neuter my phone..... I would say that's more irrational, it's like buying a sports car and saying I'll save gas If I never drive it, or only drive it ten feet every week!

Sure you can do that :)

I was a bit upset regarding my battery life however I myself learnt how to save battery and it worked for me...

I was also worried about the admins or some devs who will comment that don't post something like this...etc

But it's okay as It worked for me, I am guessing it should work for everyone if they do the same thing that I did..!!

As it worked for me, I thought to let other users know about this and it might be useful for them...!!

I didnt turn off everything..Only brightness is set to 0...

No launchers, using the phone like a smartphone, playing games, browsing, listening music, whatsapp , We chat, go sms pro..etc..

Is that off ???

I use my phone daily and everyday for this things and it's still a smartphone dude!!! :/

Atleast I posted this thread because it worked for me and I'm still using it like that...!! Maybe it won't work out for you coz you don't want to TURN OFF everything..?? Others it may help...!!! I'll suggest you to try and then say...!! I'm sure it'll work...!!!
