Hi,

Got this phone,
extremely beautiful!!
like it very much,
screen is terrific!
when playing music with ClearAudio+ on (i have Shure SE215SE) wow, it is just amazing!

However, i have problem keeping the phone in power.

What i mean is even with the stamina mode on (no applications added),
in 4 hours, the battery can be drained to 17% from full.
During these time, heavily game on "Vector, Zombie Smasher, photo at 5M, whatsapp, facebook"
Setting: LTE, HSPA+ , Bravia engine, brightness 80%, GPS on, no wifi, no bluetooth

Is the above usage normal with these battery life? I can have far better battery with Galaxy S3 with everything on (but no LTE, no power saving) and have at least 65%

How can i achieve better battery life with this phone?

I have a Sony ion still and if they are similar at all any time I play a game my battery gets drained extremely fast.

Stamina mode is most useful when device is in screen off state...

i think it is because LTE turn on cause it is eating battery life quicker than 3g or hspa. just look at the some other brand. most of the pattern i see was when it is lte feature they are likely putting more mah than the ordinary one.

I do agree the LTE is eating up the battery,
It has been 11 hours since i turn on my phone (100%)
only wifi connection
whatsapp, light browsing and now i have 61% which is similar to the Galaxy S3 i have. (Stamina mode help much, it really not receiving any msg from whatsapp until i turn on the screen)

But LTE is a must for me, i will use LTE for sure, i am paying LTE service but not using it? that is not reasonable
but in this way, LTE will drain battery faster than i can find a power source.

the battery can last over 24hours with stamina mode,
light phone calls, light whatsapp, light browsing, moderate game

all from wifi connection, 3g data is blocked.
by the way, do you find that bravia engine 2 makes the saturation too high?

So I'm just trying out Stamina mode and put a few key apps in the whitelist. Just now though I got a message regarding one of my downloaded apps stating "contacts+ is preventing it from going into Stamina mode" in my notification bar. When I click it it takes me to app info page of the said app (contacts+) but not really sure what to do about it from here? Notifications for that app were already off. Should I clear cache/date would that make any difference?

I don't understand this this. At 100% battery it says 18h without STAMINA it says 9h. I know this is normal but how did you manage to get it shows you 1 day and over with STAMINA?

Go to appfolder/all apps scroll down to eco controller, tap it then force stop it and then clear data and restart phone:D

I am wondering if this is also happening to you guys.

My notification lights don't work when the phone is on Stamina mode... is there a workaround for this?
