Z3 Compact Battery Life

Hi,<br>I recently purchased my Z3 Compact brand new from ebay as it was an unanted upgrade. The phone when i unboxed it was astonashing, it told me my battery would last around 2 days and thats without stamina.<br><br>However 6 days later(today) I went to power management, with no apps running in the background and 100% battery however it is saying it will only last 7 hours?! Is this normal because my friend has a Z1 and he uses his alot and his estimated time from 100% is about 2 days?? WHy is mine only 7 hours? Any replies would be great! Thanks

Not necessarily, it could but the reason the battery gets drained the most is if the screen is on/lit up. As along as the screen is on it doesn't matter what you are doing, even if the phone is just placed on a table with the screen lit up, the battery will continue to drain substantially.

Hi,

I have a problem with my phone. My parents gave me like the phone like a present. The first day I charged it and it was amazing all was good the estimated life of the battery was about 3 days but the next day when my phone was with 0% of battery and i charged it the estimated life of the battery was about 24hours only 1 day. So serious... 

It's new it has 2 days what can I do because the battery life is going quickly. I had put the automatic bright and that things and i didnt install apps only clash of clans. Onlu fpr one app 2 days less of battery ? 

Thank to all people who had read this. 

Bye.

The estimated battery life is just that, Estimated - The time is based on your usage so the more you use it like playing games then the battery time will decrease and the less you use it for games etc the higher the time will become

Then check power management to see what is using your battery or turn on Stamina mode
