Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra battery drain
My friends, I have noticed that after a full charge and not using the phone for one day (24 hours) the battery capacity has dropped to 75%. The mobile phone is a new one so I don;t think so that it is a battery issue. What can I do in order to find the cause of this issue? I have installed the Lighthouse app , but I don't know how to use this app.I can see only the health (good) of the battery. Thank you for your time!
you can try an app like crest, to figure out how many background apps using cpu. I would suggest to turn off mobile data and wifi and try it again. I have the Plus version with the same battery and I had the same "problem". it was caused by a weak 4G signal. the phone was switching between 3G and 4G. the search for network consumes a lot of battery even in Stand-by mode. Cheers

Apart from that, actual power consumption depends on signal strength of mobile network and WiFi, as well as running background apps like messangers and email synchronization.
The behaviour you describe does not indicate any app running amok, consuming CPU and battery. Nothing to worry about.

Again, I would be happy with four days of standby time.
