Sony Xperia XA Ultra battery life                   

One of the areas where Sony Xperia XA Ultra performs the worst is battery life. This phone does not provide options like fast-charging and wireless charging. The battery is a little smaller than 5 inches and has a capacity of 2300 mAh. The company feels that the smaller size is compensated using an efficient CPU. However, on the contrary, the smaller size and the CPU performance do not seem to make up for the lower battery efficiency. Sony also claims that the phone provides the user with the fast-charging technique which is in trend nowadays. But the phone again fails to perform by draining its battery in a short span of time. It is hard to play music for with enough brightness for long using this phone. The one and the only way to make up for the battery problem is by replacing it with a better one.

You can check the battery usage and check where your battery is getting drained but since this is more of a hardware issue, getting it repaired would be the most appropriate solution.

Whereas sometimes it decides to type on its own, a few other times it does not agree to open the keypad itself. The keyboard problem occurs in 2 situations. One when there is a problem in hardware and second when there is a problem in the setting. One way to solve this problem is by opening the ‘home’ page, clicking on the ‘menu’ option and selecting the ‘setting’ option. Then, going to the ‘preference’ option followed by the ‘security’ option and resetting all setting options. Eventually, save the settings.

This might be an issue of the touch screen. You can check whether your touchscreen is working properly or not by following the mentioned steps.
