Hey everyone,
So am an X10 user for a year now, but recently am facing an issue with the battery...well the phone's temperature rises up to 50 degrees celcius, which is burning hot... this ofcourse kills the battery in 2-3 hours from 100% to 0 i had to charge it 3 times in 12 hours .
My usage is as follows:
- Bluetooth on
- Wifi, GPS, 3g off (occasionally turned on)
- Apps killed, just a few are running in the background (where i make sure that the memory has 100MB min free)
- Screen timeout 30 sec
I cannot find the reason y the phone heats up like that.
Anyone facing the same problem or has a solution for that??
Thanks
Do a full reinstall with SEUS. And then take a look at which apps drains your battery by installing all apps manually etc...
Yeah and if that doesn't work just go to xrecovery and wipe the battery stats then charge your phone to 100 percent. Make sure your phone is fully charged when you wipe the battery stats though

Well, i have been trying a technique for a few days now and i think its working.
So i leave the battery till it totally dies then i leave the phone closed and charge it for like 8 - 10 hours, i did that for few times, and to my amazement, the battery life increased a lot.
Well done.. i think i said this before.. and alot of guys fobbed me off.

my battery drops about 10% an hour in my pocket....
when i look at battery usage it say my screen caused 70+% of my draining.
How can my screen drain so much when its only been on less than 1 min....
downloaded different roms stock 2.1, stock 2.2, 2.2 superclean.
All drain extremely fast and my battery manager keeps on saying its my screen..
Its on automatic settings!!!!
do i need to calibrate my battery? thanks in advance.
edit*
could this be a wakelock?
When you reset batt stats, it just adjusts it so the percentage is "correct", it won't affect the drain
im almost positive its wakelock....do you know how i could fix that?
*edit*
looked up spare parts and it is not wakelock......i dont understand why my screen is eating so much battery while its not even on!
10% an hour just sleeping!!!!!!! 25-35% while surfing the web, this is lame.
Today I disabled the ambient light sensor and just went back to adjusting brightness manually. 13 hours after unplugging from the wall and I'm at 50 percent.
I also have auto rotation turned off.

turned auto rotation off and rebooted my phone a total of 3 times after installing my rom.
now after 2.5hrs im at 95%!!! The screen does not drain my battery anymore when sleeping....but if im using my screen my battery still depletes extremely fast. like 5% every 30min. still it will last me more than enough for 18hrs with moderate usage. problem solved, but don't know how. rebooting did the trick...

I'd pay good money for battery life like that. Mine is running superclean 2.92 and it'll die with screen on within 3 hours every time.
What ROM are you running? Radio version? kernel?

running sc 2.9.2 non voodoo....and stock from what i can tell.
i dont know why but serouisly rebooting my phone a couple of times after installing got my display from draining my battery in sleep....i have no clue how, but it did.
just played angry bird for 30min, 5% drop.....with screen on auto... im at 81% at 4.5hours..... its to good right now! lol.
my phone was at 50% in sleep within 4 hours this morning!! amazing.
I'm getting horrible battery life too. Been searching for an answer. My display is using 90 percent of my
Battery in my pocket?

Check to see if your GPS is on, I'm using SC and voodoo kernel, was getting phenominal battery life until a couple days ago, phone wouldn't sleep. After banging my head against the wall for an hour or so it came to me that I had used google maps to see if it would lock my location and forgot to turn GPS off after. Shut GPS down and all is good now!
Hi,
X10 Mini Pro here - the battery only lasts about 16 hours without ANY activity on the phone (only 2G radio on, no calls, no using the display, nothing!). If I check partial wake usage I see Messaging is keeping the phone up the whole time (15 hours out of 16 hours). How do I solve this?
With normal use (calls/browsing/apps etc) it lasts less than 8 hours!
did u find solution pls tell me also same problem
for messaging go to cyanogenmod settings-preformance settings and disable lock messaging app in memory.
then set wifi to never sleep.
my battery life is arond 36 hour (ni data conection only if i recive mms, wifi around 1 hour per day, around 10 calls per day, around 30 sms per day, brightness around 65%,and auto kill apps)
I'm running stock latest 2.1. Messaging today is 8 hours lock wake out of 9 hours. Battery at 50% with NO use!
Did a backup, reinstalled everything through SEUS, then restored. Now back to normal. Just back from 8 hours of work and battery is only down 20%.
my phone gives a backup of more than 2 days......here is how...
for both stock and custom rom.....nd if u have root access....then u shud use SetCpu and Auto killer memory optimiser...set both of them to ondemand and optimum resp. and charge ur phone only when its <10% and avoid disconnecting it until its completely charged....this would improve ur battery backup and lso battery life.....significantly..see if dat works for u guys...
If you have flashed a rom, then you must fully charge the battery, immediately Wipe Battery Stats, then let it full drain and battery would be almost fixed. After full drain, fully charge it. When it says completed pull out battery and put it back and charge. You'll notice that battery level is ~84% even if you fully charge before. After full charge, pull battery out and do the same as mentioned before until you charge phone and battery level is always 100% or 99%.
That would make battery last longer.
And... If you have CM, undervolting saves very muuuuuuuuuuch battery and you should underclock when you are planning not to use phone for some hours... Of course freeing memory is essential, because you kill the apps which use your phone, as a result your battery too!
Good luck! ;-)

Nice im going to try some of the suggestions above
my battery also drains pretty fast!
So I have narrowed down why my battery dies even when I'm not using my phone...for some reason when I look at the stats under battery usage, the battery seems to be awake almost 60 to 70 percent of the time, EVEN when I'm not using the phone...my battery lasted a total of 15 hours...I made a 20 minute phone call and screen usage was 25 minutes on lowest settings....4g was on wifi was on...automatic background data was off...gps on....everything else was off....why is the phone waking when it is not being used???? any way to find out?

Have you tried restarting your phone and then tracking the battery usage?
Just my .02 here, I installed Earth HD live wallpaper and the phone went crazy. I keep it plugged into my laptop during the day and noticed that the battery was slowly draining instead of maintaining, not much only a couple of percent. Toward the end of the day I noticed the the battery charge was in the 50% range and dropping fast, you could see the go down so I did a reboot and the charge came back at 4%. So you may want to look at what you have installed and try removing apps that may cause issues. I removed the app and now no problems, I'm also using Beastmod.
Does anybody know why there's a boost in battery % when the phone reboots?
Is it a software bug or a battery problem?

mine does that to with 1.54 software...
Even worst, last night I've left my phone charging and when I checked it this morning it had 1% lol wtf?... it stayed 12hours plugged in... rebooted it and it started charging again.
Going back to stock rom from the carrier... or .544 file.

Nonsence , i started using the stock kernel and i got AMAZING battery life , it surpasses double the sustainability ...
*note the spikes that go up is not me charging , sometimes when i look at the phone for example is 25 % and when i wake it up after an hour or so its like 30 % , idk why this happens but it happend like 3-4 times
Well... Don't know why then. ..
Maybe i have a defective phone or battery.
Anyway, i just flashed again the .544 firmware,updated through ota to .54 , and didn't root this time just to check things out.
Either i have a software issue or defective phone/phone charger.
I noticed someone telling that the phone should charge in about one hour and mine doesn't do that. The two times i charged it, it took a lot longer. In almost two hours it reached about 70%.. so there is/was something definitely wrong.

its about calibration, you use it, it drains more, so it shows % of battery remaining like using, turn sleep mode for a while, battery will calibrate and show you more % because phone doesnt drain much

I understand your point of view but that does not make any sense, since no other brand does that type of reading.
I'm sure it is a software glitch or malfunction that causes.
The remaining battery % is the battery you have left. I've never heard of a % if you use it and % if it's idle, and IMHO doesn't make sense.
If anyone could confirm this, would be great.
tks
I also experience a boost of 1-2% when I leave the phone idle for hours..But the flickering values during reboot-isnt that an inefficient usage of the battery by the OS? Can it b fixed? It sucks to reboot the phone often to increase my battery...But it only works around 2-3 times in a single charge session..after that it drops during reboot

casca-the phone charging fully in an hour is simply bogus...It takes an extra 1-2 hrs after hitting 100% to reach the "Battery Full" state..

Yeah mate, true. Mine takes about 50 minutes to reach 80% and another 60 minutes to reach 100%.
From what i have read on a couple of reviews the Xperia P has quick charge mode until the battery reaches about 80%
The Battery can b made more efficient..the extended standby mode is a life saver,..but what's the point of not using the phone?...wish the "extra charge" during reboot gets fixed when jb releases..What's the maximum backup for u all? I once got around 50 hrs,via frequent reboots...

I got my phone last 3days once with only sms calls z bit gaming and wifi / 3g and music but not much. Usually it lasts 2 days

Android 4.0.4 may have this problem
So, there's no fix right?
i have xperia p and sometimes when i put it on charger for example when its down to 3% it starts to charge but not raising percentage but when i reboot it shows real status.so its charged but somehow percentage bugged
where are you from and what file did you flash? generic world or central europe?
normal problem
I think it's a normal "problem",
while rebooting it's clearing the battery-cache.
and it's not only on your Xperia P, it's on iPhone too

Same here ics is so bugged..what does it take for Sony to give a clean version...JB might b even worse...
it was actually weirder than that guys... the phone was loosing battery % with the charger on!
for instance, if I pluged the phone at 40% at night, in the morning i would have 1% of battery... so, not only was the phone not showing the charge going up, it was actually showing it going down! lol
anyway, I think it has been solved and I the problem was I've flashed the generic world version instead of central europe one.
tks for the posts.
Hi all, thanks in advance for your help.
I've been having crazy drain trouble with my stock battery for about six months now (the battery is currently 15 months old). It's draining like crazy, it goes from 100% to dead after two hours of browsing/reading an ebook, even less if I'm playing something like Candy Crush Saga or Asphalt 7. I tried going through several apps such as Wakelock Detector, Better Battery Stats, tried recalibrating the battery and haven't found an obvious culprit - other than the screen, which alone uses up something between 40 and 60% of the battery.
Is this normal?
Sometimes, when the battery is at 30% or less, it will just drop by several percent in the matter of seconds, for example if I switch on mobile internet. If I'm using the phone at <10%, the screen will sometimes start flickering, and the phone will freeze and remain like that until I switch it off manually.
In addition, if I connect the phone to charge, in about 70% of times, it will incorrectly show something like 45-55%, even though it's depleted. Then it remains like that until it's charged up to that point and then the percentage starts rising again.
Honestly, I'm tired of having to bring my charger everywhere and ending up with a dead phone whenever I need it for a longer period of time. I don't remember the last time my battery didn't die by the afternoon
I'm facing exactly the same issues and yes, honestly I believe it's time for a new battery.
After 15 months, assuming daily charging, you would have approx. 450 charging cycles. Lion batteries are known to age and to lose capacity after so many cycles. Try a new battery, if the problem persists, have your phone checked.
