*** Sony Xperia Z3 Compact ***

Yeah 3.5hrs screen on time over 4 days? You may as well have bought a brick with a sim slot :D
 
I've been hammering mine today, including iPlayer radio over Bluetooth, a bit of maps/GPS and a couple of hours with WiFi hotspot on. Currently at 10% and about 4hr screen time. I don't have stamina mode kick in until 50% and brightness is on auto with the slider all the way up, GPS and WiFi on the whole time.

Not bad going IMO

Well I wasn't using it as my main phone. Still over 4 days of wifi constantly on and syncing emails + playing with camera a fair bit with over 3 and a half hours screen time can't be sniffed at!

Especially on the first charge!

17 hrs :confused: I thought this had near 2 day battery life?

Depends on people's usage so don't take what Sony say as gospel.

My usage is fairly heavy and my N5 certainly wouldn't have made the end of the day let alone end the day with 31%

I switched the phone when I went to bed and I'm sure that if I hadnt switched it off and with stamina mode enabled it would've easily lasted a day and a half to two days.

I've got to the end of the day with 20-50% charge every day. Haven't touched my tablet since getting this phone though (partly because I can't find the charger...) so we are talking heavy use. My Nexus 4 would only last a few hours in similar circumstances.

That's not exactly terrible...you could achieve that turning off literally everything most of the time on other phones :p You are talking over 4 days remember...that's pretty good going you have to admit.

Personally I get about 1day and around 16hrs out of the device. I am using android wear, don't use any of this stamina nonsense with 4G and Wifi on constantly as I don't see the point in turning anything off or lowering speeds etc.

I use my phone for listening to music A LOT so it doesn't show any Spotify usage details on the battery but I'm certianly impressed.

Will need to order a magnetic charger for work just incase I need one :p
 
Any of you lot experienced "sd card was unexpectedly removed" repeatly?
My phone keeps popping up with this message then remounts the sd card repeatly.
Not sure if it's the Sandisk 32gd micro sd card but it was working fine in transfering files back and forth to other devices before I popped it into the phone.
I got a Lexar 64gb micro sd card on the way tomorrow so will swap them round and see if the problem persists.

Yeah I've been getting this. I only seemed to have noticed it since I put in a 64gb Samsung card. I didn't notice it with the 32gb Sandisk before it. I might try to re-insert it to see if that might help, as it was a bit tricky to get in.

I have restarted it a good few times, reinserted the card and blew into the port and still no joy. It's getting really annoying as I can't take photos because when I open the camera app, it keeps saying sd card was removed and then it says sd card is present would I like to use it continuously.

I hope the new card will fix this problem if not it looks like I will have to return the phone. :mad:

Anyone come from an iPhone 5s or better yet a standard 6 to this? What are your thoughts. I'm torn between an iPhone 6, this or a Lumia 830....

I'd have thought it depends what you want out of the OS, as they are all good phones! This phone is smaller than the iPhone, so I guess size is another factor. This is also considerable cheaper than the iPhone.
 
Might need to get one of these sooner than expected, I was hoping to wait until Christmas but my iPhone 4 just decided it was waterproof and went diving... now it keeps randomly calling people using voice control, so I have switched it off to give it a chance to dry completely and we'll see :rolleyes:

Cheers mate. I'm edging towards the z3c instead of going for an iPhone 6. App availability should be about the same and Price is good. About £370 on the rainforest unless another random drop occurs.

What's the sony launcher like?
