As most already have noticed or at least heard of, the Xperia XA's battery can be drained quickly, even when not being used. Sony staff has admitted there is a bug with wifi scanning/wifi-assisted geolocation. Because I see many people asking about it here, I'm pasting below the solution by Sony staff on Sony forums, that's what helped me.
As seen here.
I'm using Sony Xperia XA Dual F3116, on firmware 33.2.B.2.35.
Hope this helps.

Rickard - Community Manager Re: xperia XA: massive battery drain 2 weeks ago I'm sorry to hear that sad You may notice that the battery is drained in standby mode if you turn on Wi-Fi. This is due to a software error that prevents your device from entering sleep mode. This issue will be fixed in an upcoming software release, rolled out via FOTA and Xperia Companion. As a workaround, first turn off Wi-Fi, then turn off Wi-Fi scanning. Once the Wi-Fi scanning has been turned off, turn Wi-Fi back on. The recommendation is to keep Wi-Fi scanning off until you have installed the updated software version, to prevent this issue from occurring every time you restart your device. Note! Software updates are released at different times depending on operator and/or country. Affected Xperia™ devices and software versions: Xperia™ XA F31 (F3111, F3112, F3113, F3115, F3116): 33.2.A.2.16 and 33.2.B.2.35 Xperia™ E5 F33 (F3311, F3313): 37.0.A.1.83 and 37.0.A.1.105 Note! This is only valid for devices with a limited type of software configuration. To turn off Wi-Fi scanning: From your Home screen, tap the Application screen icon. Find and tap Settings > Location. Tap the menu button (three vertical dots), then tap Scanning. Drag the slider beside Wi-Fi scanning to the left. Official Sony Xperia Support Staff |
