[Q] is the battery life problem regional firmware specific ? - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

we have 2 X10 mini's, one (mine) is factory unlocked and the other is locked to Orange UK
I updated both to 2.1, mine has UK generic firmware the other has Nordic firmware
even though we have the same apps and settings mine (UK) will last less than a day but the other (Nordic) will last at least 2 days
what firmware have you installed and what's the battery life like ?
to start...
UK = less than 24 hours
Nordic = more than 48 hours
thanks

generic uk, last about 8-10 hours heavy use

Generic UK, updated via PC Companion - 6 - 8 hours heavy use, 12-14 hours 'normal' use and upto 1 day with very very little use

I have greek cosmote andlasts about 2 days

It usually depends upon the network more dude
BTW check if Background Data is off or not.
I had this problem. The BD was On even though i switched it off in widget. Strange

Maybe 3g in UK, Edge in Nordic?

I have UK one, and last days running on EDGE, even I can the 3G. But the consumption is the same.. only browsing is slower
UPDATE: I removed the ADW Launcher and installed Launcher Pro.
With ADW Launcher after I came home in the evening the baterry was 30-40%.
few calls/sms, short time internet browsing via EDGE.
With same pgms, usage etc. but with Launcher pro instead of ADW I came home with 70-80%. Few days testing.
Seems the ADW is pretty much eating the battery.

Best Battery Life

Out of all the roms out now, which is getting you the best battery performance?
Aside from being smooth - long life is most important to me - so wanted to know if people are getting 2 days or more? .
I find wolfbreaks cm6.1 very good on battery life. I can squeeze out 1.5 days without a charge.
But it also depends upon how frequently you use the phone and what apps you use. If you are a power wifi user then battery will drain pretty quickly.

With the rom of rendeiro2005 I also do 1,5 day .
+1 for rendeiro2005's ROM. same thing with me too.
Sent from XDA Premium from my X10a rooted running 2.2.1 CM Rom from Rendeiro2005
I'm using stock 2.1 -rooted + JIT + removed timescape.. I'm getting 1.5 -2 days too.. but only when I'm at home and permanently connected to Wifi.. when I'm travelling with WCDMA switched on I get a day.. 3G/GPRS is a really battery killer for me.
I see ^^ Thanks
I'm mainly concerned with the battery that drains when it's supposed to be asleep. I installed achotjan's and left it as it was without any extra apps installed and over 8 hours it only went down about 4%. I'm currently on nearly 24 hours and still at 69% gradually installing various apps that I use daily to find the one that is zombieing on me ^^;.
So far I like that rom though^^ I'll check out the other ones you're recommending as well once I find the zombie app.
Using stock 2.1 for now 2.1.1.A.0.16 x10i, Rooted + JIT v2 enabled, Timescape/Mediascape replaced by Music and Gallery 3D, Wi-fi always ON and constantly monitoring Quadrant score. I'm currently 34hours with 41% left. Not really bad
I'd like 2.1 and all if it wasn't for google's better gmail app being for 2.2 and up .
I am running Wolfbreaks CM 6.1.3 [V05] 2.2.1 froyo rom with update 053 and my battery life has increased noticeably over the SE Generic 2.1.1 rom. It's been 2 days and i still have 20% battery left and i have been using it a lot. so far I am pretty happy with this rom.
Using wolf's CM 6.1.3 V053 right now.2 days without a charge.3G always on.It's a quite stable rom for daily use.Like it~
Wolf's 6.1, juice defender and set CPU with minimum speed when screen's off. I'm constantly downloading/streaming but with this I still get a full days usage. With 2.1 I needed to plug it in after 6 hours...

Mine using stock SE 2.1 Rom, 2.1.54 Baseband rooted.
I was using it for atleast an average of 1 hour daily browsing(full website)
30min facebook update interval(3g always on)
rotate sensor always on
brightness set to auto(using widgetsoid)
Zeam as default launcher
installed dogwatch but doesnt really use it
I use automemory optimizer.
remove stuff such as timescape and other se apps that I am not using(I don't necessarily called them crap just because I dont find use for them).
I haven't tried any custom rom, since this works for me without a hitch. (IMO).
MIUI lasts for 1.5 days with heavy usage, and 2 / 2.5 days with medium / light usage...

Lumia 800 Battery after 12070 update

Hi Folks,
It would be great if you guys can share your battery stats (Not the diagnostics apps, hours (or days?) from battery saver). Our favorite blog, WPcentral, claims that they have tripled their battery life. I can say mine improved by a few hours.
I regularly got 1day 12 hours on my Venue Pro, but it it hard to get 24 hrs on the Lumia even after the update.
Update: I rolled back to the previous version (11500) as I wanted the official version. I got the official 12070 now. Now battery shows 1 day 16 hours.. just like my old Venue Pro. I recommend everyone who used cab update to roll back and install an official update as it started rolling out now.
Remaining battery life: 21%
Time since last charge: 1 day 10 hours
So two full days it can last me. I have used it "normaly". Not heavily and not lightly. 3G on at all times of course.
I had the exact same battery life on 11500. I was never affected by bad battery life to begin with.

I run 3g on/wifi on/bluetooth off/2 push email accounts/1 hourly pull/whatsapp/lync/amazing weather tile and when left while sleeping I get about 11-12 hours runtime according to battery monitor in the morning which is based on no use while I sleep so its the lowest screen use possible. I have a slight advantage with 3G on due to the fact I have a femtocell (mini mobile mast) which usually means the 3G radio doesnt need to amp the power as much.
Turning the Message "Online" for facebook/msn reduced this to about 10 hours as a tip for you all.

For me, this update changes nothing! The Battery drain is still at 180-330 mA... 17 hours battery life with standby, 12 with use. Terrible ...
Even after Hardreset.
In standby it consumes 4-5% / hour.... With a full 3G bar.
Wow Erazor84 your battery life is much better then mine.
My phone was great from day 1 (got it in November 2011), it lasted for almost 48 hours even with original firmware, and charged to 1480mAh. With latest update I get pretty much the same (ie. good) battery life.
Major battery drain seems from poor 3G signal and phone switching between 2G / 3G all the time.

maybe mine is better than yours, but it's way too low... my omnia 7 has the same config and the same apps installed. battery lifetime -> 1day and 36 hours... so the lumia is still a faulty device ...

Which firmware were you before? 11501 or 11500?
Have you done any hard resets/full flashes?
If I had that battery life I would be happy. I thought generally wifi was lighter then 3G but I wonder if thats the reverse on Nokia's.
I'm considering to update my Lumia to the latest 12070 update.
What's the correct way of doing this?
My handset is unbranded, Black bought in Denmark.
I've seen that an Australian version is available in NaviFirm.
Do you have an upgrade procedure? I've Zune, SDK and Nokia Care Suite installed.

To do this and keep your settings you must use a Zune pushed update (official way) or the cab method.
If you use the navifirm you cant restore backups from older versions which means you will hard reset your phone.
Do you have a guide for the cab method?

That really suggests mine has a fault then. I have never seen it say over 14 hours really. I am just turning things off. Do you have facebook/twitter added in as well?
Was 8107 version 11501 then? I am tempted to flash mine clean when the newest roms come out for UK.
What kind of discharge rates do you get?
I was getting around 130mAh discharge rate on idle, now around 75mAh (with 12070 update). So I guess battery should be even better now, but it was good before as well.
059J3G0 variant was distributed directly by Nokia (got an "influencer" phone).

Hmm it appears if 3G is on after 20-30 seconds it jumps to 250-350ma even though wifi is on. It can go higher but I put that down to background tasks.
With 3G off it sits normally < 100.
I am tempted to flash mine but I am just trying to figure out how much pain it will be getting back up and running since you cant use backups?
Anyone downgraded before? procedure?
Edit: Even in battery saver mode its running at 267ma which should disable background apps and data stuff but leave the connection active.

Updated yesterday morning and this has not improved my usage with 3G enabled. I spend most of my time in WiFi areas so had got used to leaving the network set to 2G, which looks to be what I'll have to go back to.
I'll try a hard reset for the sake of completion, then do more tests with the 3G on and off.

I also have a lumia(059J3G0) with that number. I can't get Navifirm plus or Nokia Data Package Manager to find firmware. How are you doing an updated to 8107.12070 via CAB??
Thanks for your help.

After 2 days with the newest 12070 fw my battery seems to last for 1day~12 hours. Something i have learned to expect from GS, N9 and iPhone 4.
Before the update 800 lasted for around 20 hours, with heavy use it would have been dead in 12 hours. Update before 12070 did nothing, but this was clearly the update i was waiting for. Finally i can use it like a smartphone as i really do love Metro UI, but the battery life has killed it of for me.
On idle the battery drain is now around 75mAh, compared to previous ~130mAh.
After 2 days with the new firmware: It is better than with 11500 but still not good enough. 12 hours with use, 20 hours with standby ... In idle 253 mA Battery drain.... In Flight Mode 84 mA.
My Provider only has 3G. 3 Austria does not provide a GSM or Edge Signal. So the cause is the 3G Signal ... With Flight mode (around 84mA) the battery life is great!
So let's wait for another Firmware

HTC mozart BATTERY DRAIN!!!

One week ago,
Wifi on only = 15 hours
3G on only = 6-10 hours (depending on how much use)
now...
wifi = 6 hours
3G = 5 hours (or probably less since i dare not use it)
i honestly dont know what is happening... im suspecting maybe its coz of photosynth but i cannot be sure...
THERE ARE JUST SIMPLY TOO MANY VARIABLE FACTORS!!
Maybe its coz i have tooooo many apps (i think maybe over 100)
and my free space left is 1gb
i turn off all live tiles that i can change in the background tasks option
I really dont know what has changed from last week to this week.... ><
Check what background tasks are running all the time.
If i dont use my mozart very much (only 20-30 phone calls per day) then it will last 3.5-4days. If i play littebit every day and use internet + calls-emails-sms then 1.5-2days.
ofcourse i have 3g/wifi/bt/gps allways off when i dont need them and nothing syncs automaticly.
Hm if I turn everything off I used to be able to las a day or so.... But now, no way

I have photosynth and well over 100 apps, I also only have 1.2gb left (out of a 32gb upgrade).
I have 3 background tasks running every 30 mins.
AU Weather Pro - Weather obviously
Battery Status - Graphs the battery use and shows all running processes, but requires a full-unlock)
and TelstraTracker - Keeps track of my calls and data usage.
I have 2 email accounts, both set to push emails.
I get 12-15 hours with normal usage (occasional game or web-browsing) (with a Mugen battery though, it's a bit shorter with the stock one). Forgot to mention I rarely drop it below 40% with those times, probably kind of important to state Can get 2 days with light usage.
So you should be able to eliminate photosynth, number of apps and storage space from the equation.
It is the apps, I have too many background apps that I cannot turn off. Most suspected are obviously social apps and Facebook app.
Is 12-15hr with WiFi or 3g?

XSX kernel v4 by mericon.
interested to know this too.
I'm currently running totally stock again at the moment and it's the best battery life I've ever hd. The phone lasts all day, with everything turned on (data/WiFi/sync), sending some texts, couple of calls, little bit of internet browsing for work, and listening to music to and from work. by the end of the night, I'm usually down to around 35% battery now, whereas before i;d be down to say 5% with everything turned off all day.
but I'm wondering if i can get even more out of this firmware if i install customer kernel, so that i can freeze junk apps/processes and use setcpu to reduce the CPU load when the screen is off (i can envisage getting 2 days use out of the phone this way).

Exactly, I'm also getting a very good battery, which i never expected outta this phone !!
Check out the attachments.. Good 40-50 mins of calling, minimum 2hrs of music playback and a little temple run and major mayhem.. Captured 13 pics and 3 min video in full resolution and here is the time it lasted : 1day 17hrs.. With 5 % still to spare

[HELP] Cannot manage to get acceptable battery life

Hello guys, i took my secondhand SGS2 coming from Xperia Arc, witch gaves me up to 50hrs uptime on light usage, at least 36hrs on hard usage. On I9100 i cant have more than 12 to 14 hours, even on light usage (few calls only, no browsing) and if i get it on hands, i already had it empty on about 6hrs of usage.
Already did several cycles, calibrated using Battery Calibration, reseted Fuel Gauge Chip using STweaks lots of times. No luck. Running Greenify to hibernate social apps and weather widgets. I dont use 3G as long as work and home have wi-fi spot.
On my first dual-core device, Atrix 4G, i had similar results as the mentioned.

SGS2 I9100 - 16Gb internal SD
Kernel: Dorimanx 9.38
ROM: AOKP Milestone 2
Any clues? Sry bout the BD english >0
