Major issues_ Xperia c

I do have 3 major issues with this phone
1) if I charge the battery to 100% them it drains very quickly from 33 to13% but if charge it to some 80% it works properly, why and solution.
2) it does not remember anything about home screen customization on rebooting. Every single app(on sd card) which I had moved to home screen, on rebooting I would not find them, moreover I have installed some apps like Google drive, economics times, wordweb etc on sd card but after restarting it they were simply lost, I mean it's annoying you are losing all your important data just because your phone can't remember thing on your memory card.
3) I don't know why but some times it restarts on its own.

I use16gb class 10 memory card.

This is my second phone first one they(retailer shop)
Replaced thinking that above mentioned problems were piece specific but I am facing same issues on my second set also.

Sorry to hear that your still having this issue.
The issue with the phone displaying wrong battery level was is fixed in 16.0.B.2.9 and later. Please make sure that you have at least this version in your phone. If you have the latest software and still see this issue i recommend that you contact a service location or local Sony Xperia support for assistance: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/.

I haven't checked this on Xperia C but it works like that in for example Z1 Compact as well. When a headset is connected the proximity sensor is not used which has been forwarded internally as feedback.

What you can do is to manually turn off the display using the on/off button but make sure it's not set to end calls under Settings -> Accessibility -> Power button ends calls.

After the last update I don't have the battery draining issue, so thanks Sony for your care.

Still no updates? My battery won't even last for a day now. Come on you should at least have an option to downgrade the software. Fix this mess at once !!!

Ok guys, i had same problem with my wiko darkside, its same chipset as xperia C and and i solve my problem.

Problem was in system...system must be set as read only, root path also...

So try next, it helped me...

Wait till batttery drop down to 13 %, RESET to fabric settings, do it 3x (third time battery will shown 5%), but it's in my case, so if your xperia c after 3x fabric reset has 11-12 % dont worry, try next...

Flash new software via sony software updater or what you use to install new software via pc (i use sptool or wikos flasher), turn on your phone and wait, so now ROOT your phone (i do it with framaroot, simpe and efecrive), if needed restart phone, now install es file explorer, grant root permisions to es file explorer (click menu and turn on indicator, after that click on text "root explorer", new menu will be opened so choose option "mount R/W", and now BOTH paths set as RO (read only)...

Its everything, now charge your phone to 100 % and enjoy in your phone without stupid drain from 33 to 13 %...

Guys, admit it. This is the Xperia C. It was over priced, and it is a lousy handset. I wish I had spent my 200 dollars wisely and bought the Xperia SP. I can't believe Sony made this piece of cow poop!
