Hi,

When you have around 10% battery left, you can go to Settings > Power management > Battery. Here you can see what consumes battery on your unit.

But since you started to experience this problem after an update, I suggest that you perform a software repair via Update Service:

Download and install SUS, follow the instructions that appear.

The developer options is actually hidden in the latest update. You can get this option if you go Settings > About phone > Tap 7 times on "Build number" and this option will appear in Settings.

After the update,it is normal to drain a little more,the new OS needs some time to settle.I suggest you wait 1-2 weeks,restart phone regularly.Use your normal settings,it is ok if the screen drains most of the battery.If the OS would drain,you would get less time on the battery.Also,try to disable wifi,data,bluetooth when not using them.Do not use task killers,free ram apps,antivirus.

Also consider this,a smartphone is a smartphone,big screen,kind of not so big device,no space to host a big battery.1750mah is a medium size battery,so if you get 15 hours of intense using,it is very good.

Your phone will stabilise after some time,but if you still encounter issues,come back.And do not forget,restart regularly for a better performance.

Well for me its been more than a month since i updated my phone
But I'm facing this battery problem from past few days
I don't understand what's wrong with my phone
I've to charge it twice a day n even if I charge it completely after some time without even using the phone battery level deducts from 100% to 90%
I don't know why after that the battery level decreases normally but first 10% just go away without being used
Please help me

Repair phone software with sony update service,if you still see problems,you may need a new battery.Anyway,take the phone into service.

It's been just 4-5 months since I brought this phone and now I need to replace the battery?

This wasn't what I expect from SONY

anyway the SUS is again upgrading my software when it's already up to date,is this the way it repais the software?

Re: Battery problem after update

_alexdon_ — Wed, 01 Jan 2014 13:16:08 GMT

Yes,it does not matter you are up to date,just repair phone software.Backup important things before the repairing.

I have had same experience with dropping first 10% in just few minutes after disconnecting a fully charged phone but somehow it just came back to normal discharging for 10 to 15 days...

I remember that in the same time I had problem with Sony "extension for throw" in Active Application section under settings... I've posted that experience in this forum... I'll find it so try to check that - maybe it will help you..
