So, my phone got the Z5 Nougat update today (wayhay!), but my battery has drained down to 52% in 5 hours of minimal use (boohoo!). Anyone else experiencing this? The battery life was usually pretty good prior to the update.

Been playing games, sms, web browser and barely lost 30~ in 6h
Now i'm afraid to update. My battery life is already terrible..
FWIW, I'm now experiencing a bug in Xperia companion that won't let me backup post-Nougat.
Try doing a force restart (hold the volume up and power button until the phone vibrates 3 times). This clears the phone cache or something (can't remember, last time I did anything to do with rooting and partitions was back with my Xperia P), this should fix your problems with battery drain 70% of the time. If it doesn't I'd backup your phone and then do a factory reset.
That's weird, my battery has gone up at least 1 hour SOT since the update.. not using stamina or anything
I want that too, to be honest. Marshmallow had excellent battery life to me!
Maybe it's the version you're on. What's your version? Mine is 32.3.A.0.376.
It seems to be Phone Idling on mine that eats battery.
Yeah I've got the same version. Sounds like your doze isn't working
Can anyone report on the speaker volume bug beeing fixed?
I have updated and the audio issues is not fixed for me. Its always on max volume and not loud enough for anything.
I updated today, and it is too early to comment on the battery. Let the phone complete a couple of charging cycles and then you'll be able to definitely conclude how the battery life is. I would definitely recommend a reset, I'm gonna do one this weekend.
Do a clean install or turn off charging optimization from the menu (if that's an option on Nougat, don't know, don't have it yet) 🤔
This, probably. I am not having the best battery life but I've never had more than 3 h SOT, on Wi-Fi. Charging optimisation is still under settings / about phone / status.
It is so much effort reinstalling. 😥
I got from 90 to 35 with heavy usage within 5 hours
Try stamina mode it now has 3 modes see if it makes a difference
Perhaps it's the update version. Mine is 32.3.A.0.376.
Faster response, seems zippier, but battery life is dire.
it is like hell. The battery drain from 100% to 25% in 5 hours after I update.
Just got my Z5P as I accidentally killed my Z3. I applied all updates right out of the box (to Nougat) so I didn't have a chance to test it out on Marshmallow. Anyway BATTERY DRAIN IS RIDICULOUS!! From 100% to 10% in 6h with 3h on screen time. WiFi off, no games, no Youtube just regular stuff. That's insane! Tried factory reset, turning off battery optimization etc. No luck. Any updates on that issue guys?
Anyone got a solution? My battery drain is insane since Nougat and I'm furious.
I was running the previous version, the one they pulled, and my battery life was better than MM. Got the OTA today so can't comment on the new version, but it was only a 70mb patch so guessing it shouldn't be too different. This is without a reset btw.
