Battery problem - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hey dev's! I hope you have the solution to this... but maybe the problem is my battery is dead... :S
3 days ago I installed Cyanocomb, and everything worked right (after clean installation and wiping all the data and stats, including battery stats) but the problem is, when i put the carger at night, next morning the battery was completeley empty! (and I was near to arrive late at work because of the alarm )
I investigated, and saw that when the battery reached the 100%, it doesn't stay between 95%-100%, It only stops charging and drains very quickly.
I changed the Rom recently to Cyanogen Froyo CM6 6.01 and.... It still drains. Maybe I killed my battery? Maybe it's a callibration problem? (I deleted battery stats and used the battery callibration app, but it stil drains...)
Yeah, I know, It sounds bad for my old battery
Thanks for all the advices!!!

Try repairing your phone via seus and see how your battery is on the stock rom

After clean install of the CM6 ROM again, and callibrating the battery 3 times, It seems to work nice again... I hope I'll not arrive late again because of the alarm! XD Thanks pal!

How did you calibrate it??? I´m with a similar issue so i would like to know the process, I was looking for some information and I found this but I'm not sure if it will work on mini pro :S

Cwm advance setting wipe batery stats

After a week, yesterday the same problem again... The battery stopped charging, when I unplug the carger and plug again, It seems to charge 5% more, but a minute later it begins to drain again...
I tried to calibrate (I'm currently using Battery Calibrator form market), but after wiping stats and let it full drain, It needs a lot of time (red light blinking) until I can connect it, but after that it charges only 5-10% and begin to drain again.
I came back to stock ROM, and It is charging again!!! But why with a custom ROM am I experiencing this problem? (CM6 6.01)

Hmm, thats really interesting! I "caught" this issue too lol
Yesterday I installed cyanocomb 1.4 and before I went sleep the battery was on 50%.
After I woke up (~10 hours), the battery totally died. This is surprised me. I put the phone to charge (not from USB), and thats charged fully. Okay, I thought I let it charge a bit more and I will make a battery stat wipe. But after a while, I checked it again, and the battery was on 89% WTF?!

Please, forget this, now my phone is being repaired, it was a hardware problem (I guess is the USB connector)
When the support work is done, I will tell you the conclusions.

Ok, now the phone is repaired, and the problem was the USB connector. No software problem.
Problem solved, theme closed.

Battery meter stuck at 100%

I have been using my g tablet unplugged for several hours with both TnT Lite and ZPad clean and the battery meter still shows 100%. Has anyone else experienced this before or have any ideas how to fix it?
Mine stays at 100% for up to an hour but not for multiple hours and that is on various roms.
It finally starting coming down from 100%, but it took about 3 hours. I am thinking it may not be the most accurate battery meter
I'm having the same issue. At first I thought , gee this thing has great battery life, then it shut down even tough the battery was at 100% , start it it , then shuts down. I thought it broke , then realized I had seen a post on this issue n plugged it in.

Mine does the same thing, and I thought that it might have been a problem but it eventually starts dropping, and usually starts dropping quickly or so I think.
It looks to me to be a problem of an improperly calibrated battery meter... still haven't tried the Clockwork mod wipe batt data yet though...
(This happened to me on stock fw & TnT lite 2.0 - 2.2.0 so far...)

It's like they are tricking us into believing the battery life is great =(
I have the same issue, but I also get a force close when attempting to check battery status under settings
I had the same problem.
I downloaded "Advanced Battery Improve" and it works for me. Now the battery meter updates correctly. Do not know if its a coincidence.
im having this problem too...
I had the same problem after my first charge. I let the battery completely drain, then powered up with the the power adapter plugged in. I used CMW to reset the battery stats on boot, and now the battery meter is working like I'd expect.
I also had the stuck 100% meter problem. I completely drained the battery, plugged it in, booted to CMW, reset the battery status, completely charged the batter (a few hours past when the green light came on), booted to CMW, and reset the battery status again. Now the battery meter seems to be reporting correctly.
Hope this helps others.

+1. I was reluctant to believe this would work, but it worked for me as well. I did this a couple of days ago. Yesterday I charged it to 100%, and ran it all the way down to 2% before plugging it in.

I think they mean CWM or clockwork mod.
mmracing meant: CWM, which stands for ClockWorkMod.

Whoah! I did the same thing... Yes, I was referring to ClockWorkMod, version .08.
Battery life on the G Tablet
So what's the general consensus on battery life for G tablet? I thought mine was permanently stuck at 100%. I let it run out for about 10 hours and then it began to slowly decrease.
I thought it would die within a few hours after that at 90% or 80%... Well it lasted 25 hours with some moderate use in between and finally died at 23%. Still incorrect but 25 hours?
Total discharge worked for me.
I had this problem. I let the battery completely discharge until it shut off. Then, I completely recharged it while it was off. After that, the meter worked correctly.

Battery fast drops issue.

Hi, i bought tattoo from another user... to encounter a problem with battery, when i charge it-it never goes 100%, but charges to for an example 33%... then it instantly drops to 16-17% until it reaches to 1% (fast dropes)...but it stays like that for one or two days (like it has been charged to 100%). I did a factory reset-it dind't work (offical rom, not rooted). I first tought it was a rom problem it self... then i rooted my phone and flashed cm7 (wiped all 3 times)... and the problem still presists. I dont know what to do... i tried to put my batt. to another tattoo, and it works fine...also tried another charger, doesnt help... i dont know what to do. Please help....
Thanks.

You could try wiping the battery stats in recovery.
Thanks for fast reply... but i already did that...
Try to recalibrate your battery using any app for that purpose from the play store

i did a battery calibration, i did a wipe batt stats and even flash a different ROM, but just 2 days ago, my battery is drop like crazy. some are 10% drops, some are 20% drops, and it's not like just one time in a 100% charge, but 2 times or 3 times, like from 80-70, then 60-40, then 20-10. and the more arresting issue is that, the battery drop does not correspond with a slow decrease in any of the stages. battery still discharge as per normal usage albeit quicker (2-3% in an hour) compared to last time 5% in 2-3 hours. i've used MIUI and WIUI, and the problem started when i was on WIUI 2.4.20 and did all the what nots above, and i flashed to MIUI 2.4.6 after all that didn't help. and it still didn't help.
can anyone point me to a direction??

make a test disabling the data/wifi and bluetooth, don't use full brightness in the screen after that use it normally if in those conditions the battery still drains in 3 hours then I dare to say that is something in the hardware of the phone
DONE all of that ! tried everything trust me well i think ive tried everything, im on stock rom now, calibrating my battery again and again till i get 100% after restart, because whenever i charge it charges in like 20 minutes, lets see how i go, sometimes with 30% battery i get 4 hours, sometimes with 100% battery i get 4 hours battery, makes no sense whatsoever.
If u want u can tried to change a new battery

you would never get 100% after restart because the phone uses battery when booting and loading the system.
calibrating if you are talking about the option that erase the file that have the stats of the battery that isn't going to change anything if your phone discharge in x minutes it will still discharge in that same amount of time because that method of calibration is a kind of reset to the %display in the phone nothing else.
if you can. try measuring the mA of the battery after charging it with a tester, then measure it again when the phone display something like 50% of charge it shouldn't vary a lot if the battery is in a good state.
but you in the first post said that you have tried with a new battery and still get the same time. and at the same time say that you have tried the phone with the data off. and get discharged quickly. if that is accurate then your phone have some kind of hardware failure that is making it use more battery than necessary, so you should send it to repair.
ps: also you can check the phone signal if you are in an area with poor reception the phone will use more battery because it will need to use more potency to establish a link with the cell tower.

nope not in an area with poor signal, ok im thinkin its an hardware failure as well, i might need to buy an external charger , my charging port might be screwed up, but like when i let my battery die down a little bit, and then i calibrate when it is at about 40% i then wipe battery stats and restart phone its at 22% and it stayed at 22% all night i didnt put it too charge and i listened to music for about 30 minutes or so, now i dont know what the f*** is going on i love my x10 mini pro, i just want this solved
I sort of got this kind of problem when i was running MiniCM2.2.0. It really buggered up the battery, it would lose about 7 or 8 percent when i was just looking at the lockscreen after powering up my phone.
Sometimes it will just drain like in no time at all, complain that i have to charge it, but when I turn off the phone and restart it, and it will say i'm at 60 percent. sometimes that is true, sometimes not, i only put it on the charger when I'm reasonably sure there is no power left, ie, if after a restart of two or three it will still say i'm under 10%.
So, whenever it runs out of power,do a restart and see how much power you've got left. don't charge it until you're absolutely sure you have to. Still not sure where it leads to, but I don't think i'll get back the battery-endurance i had before., which was about 3 or 4 days on fairly minimal use, without 3g or wifi.
(PS: Don't wipe battery stats until the phone is fully charged. Charging it from just about nothing to 100% in one go and then wiping the stats seems to give me best result.)

yep ive tried different charger and charging through USB. same thing charges to 100% really fast, and comes back down really fast, every single time i restart my phone after it has charged to one hundred percentage drops by 20% until it has come to its real charged percentage i think it is in the hardware of my phone, am i able to connect a bst38 battery to an old nokia to try charge the phone?

[Q] Phone shutdowns itself when battery is ~10%

Hi all,
I recently bought an Xperia Mini pro and it carries the stock firmware 2.3.3, The first few days were fine and I could use till batery reaches 0% or 1% . I recently noticed when the battery reaches 10-12% it shuts down automatically, when I try to power on again, the LED flashes in red color ( indication of 0% battery) and won't turn on. It will turn on only if I connect it to a charger and charge it, the weird thing is the charging starts at where the battery level was before shutting down (10-12%)
Please help me to solve this issue
P.S: I have CWM installed, can I use the "Wipe battery stats" to solve this ? if so how ?

This will not calibrate battery...
@OP
You said you recently bought the phone. If so, just wait. Make sure you charge battery completely and then let it discharge until the phone tells you to recharge it. Keep doing that for a couple of weeks. New batteries can give such problems
I have that problem too. there was no such a problem. My rom is jj,s 3..1 with locked bootloader on my Ray.

removing battery stats didnt help, only .formatting. the battery.

Battery drain problem

Hi all,
I have read almost every threads related to this problem but nothing solves my battery drain problem
Everything was fine with my battery until one day I was at work and didn't have my charger so my phone went off because of empty battery. After that when I pluged my charger battery wan't charge at all, it was dead completely. I went to the store I buy new battery but I still have problem with draining very fast. It takes a lot of time to even charge the battery to 100%...after 10 hours of charging battery is just 30-40% full. One time battery was at 68% and I turned phone off...after turning it on again after few seconds battery is at 28%...
I tried everything that I could find in other threads - factory reset, deleting cache, dalvik cache, battery stats, calibrating battery, putting phone in flight mod, checking battery stats, background apps, removing SD card, deleting all apps, turning off media scaner...but nothing helps, battery is still charging very slow and drains very fast...
I have JB 4.1.2 stock rom on my phone and also tried with gingerbread 2.3.3 stock rom but problem is still there...
What could be a problem?? Please help...

Yes, i tried with original AC adapter, usb cable and even with HTC AC adapter...
The usb port might be damaged...I'll guess your battery never get's 100%, that's why it's drained too fast.

That's true, in last 2-3 days I'm trying to charge it but I didn't get 100% yet...not even when I shutdown the phone...it shows 100% but when I unplug the charger it's on 40-50% only.
It look like my problem is solved
I'm not sure what solved my problem but here is what I did last:
I have removed SD card from the phone and deleted Google Services App, then I turn on flight mode and connected phone to AC adapter...battery was at 28% and it tooks about 5-6 hours to fully charge the battery. After that I have disconnected the charger and after 15 hours my battery is at 88% with some minimal use of the phone (few SMS, 5-10 minutes on the internet via wi-fi and some settings). I also tried to turn off the phone and power it again and everything is normal, I didn't lose any percentage of the battery like before. I also have putted back my SD card and there is no problems ( it has same files like before, it's not formated ).
I'm very satisfied with this battery life so far, I never had better
So, to conclude this, it looks like Google Services was draining my battery or maybe it was because of the new battery so it needed to be formed.
Anyway, I hope that this will be usefull to someone with same problems.
I'm glad you sorted it out mate. Lol with some search it looks like that Google Services app is causing many people battery problems.
