I d like to read your experience with battery saving apps like JuiceDefender.
Do these apps really help?
I already use the phone with Bravia Engine Off,Screen Brightness at 30%,GSM only,DATA Off and Sync Off but I d like some more battery saving in order to get more than 30h out of every charge!
My phone is the XPeria Mini ST15i.

Have to agree.
You can't get more juice from 1200 mAh battery. You have to deal with it.
I get same results on my stock-modified LWW, I don't sleep long enough to get exact results, but I do get also 0,3-0,5% drain per hour.
disable sync - it means less wake-up's ...and data of course
my phone goes for two days without that using FXP rom

Try the official Sony power saver app
Thanks but this app doesn't do something more than I ve already trying!
Is there any chance that WiFi tweaks drain the battery so fast?
I mean HT Enable,Burst mode and so on? When using Tapatalk and Twitter etc the battery drains like crazy!

Try to do one thing at a time. Multitasking consumes a lot CPU power, high computer freq=high voltage. About the Wifi tweak i dnt see any difference though my phone can last 1.5 - 2 days w/o chargng with around 6-8hrs wifi usage(FB/XDA/mails), minimal gaming and walkman usage.
Try to throttle your min-max cpu freq and set your governor to brazillianwax or powersaver if you are not using it. Manually switch to smartassV2 or performance when browsing or playing games. Also use noop as I/O scheduler, most users say it is battery friendly.
Thank you for your reply.
I'm still trying to find out what's happening with the power drain.
I should mention also that the mini is V6 supercharged if it makes a difference.
Also take a look at the following photos.It s from the last 24h.

A few suggestions:
1/ Flash .64 baseband if you don't have that already. I find it's better for batt life.
2/ Try adding these lines to build.prop
Code:
pm.sleep_mode=1
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
3/ Remove all bloatware.
Here's a link that might help with that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328322
4/ You could try to flash a custom ROM. I'm not sure if every ROM requires BL to be unlocked. I've unlocked mine the minute I got it....
Thank you for the reply!
Baseband is already .64!
I have already uninstalled each and every app I don't use!
I ll try the build tweaks.
What do they do exactly?

Try it, it may help a bit.
BTW- kickas kernelizer can cause an increase in battery drain. At least for me it does. So if you installed it along with V6, remove it...
No,I don't have KAK installed.
I guess I ll resort to a fresh installation and I ll take it from there a step at a time...
Also my battery never seems to charge more than 4180mV no matter how many times I ve deleted battery stats and charged to 100% etc.Weird.

Deleting batterystats file doesn't do anything to your phone. You are just deleting file manually, that actually is removed after every full charge.
There is no such thing as battery calibration for Androids. You just can't get more juice from there.

Hi, i find this very weird, my T-Mobile G2 Touch (HTC Hero) lasts easily 2 days with 1 charge. I'm now using a ICS 4.0.1 rom made by '
Glassmacka'' and i'm verry happy with it. Before this I tried several Gingerbread roms and the Cronosproject rom was the fastest and most stable one for me and my phone lasted 2 and a half day with that rom. So I advice you to try those roms.
Cheers.
I'm using decked too n i get 2-3days battery sometimes,wat i realised is battery,drains faster when mobile network is on,so i leave it off most of the time....

Have you tried reducing the max CPU speed in perf. settings? Higher CPU speeds increase performance at a cost of lower battery life
I've tried several gingerbread roms (Decked X, Cronos, Elelinux-7.1, Ligux) and they all drain the battery in less than 1 day. It's not terrible when my phone is just sitting there (e.g. overnight) but when I start using it the battery gets drained by about 1% each minute or two. When I look at what is using up the battery, Display is always the biggest user by far. I have brightness set to the lowest setting.
I tried a few different kernels, LV 0.5 and 1.0 and FlyKernel 13. I have the latest radio installed, 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03.
I have tried different min/max CPU frequencies but they haven't affected the battery life substantially.
Right now I'm using the Elelinux-7.1 rom with ONDEMAND governor (245/576MHz), JIT enabled, surface dithering disabled, 16bit transparency disabled, and Compcache RAM disabled.
Your help is appreciated

yeah what your saying spot on. i generally get about a day and a few hours with the decked rom. but yes there is a horrible battery drain when the screen is on. i also find that sometimes the battery will go down as much as 2% per min or two which i'm sure can't be normal
however, in standby mode the battery hardly depletes, with the decked rom i find that when in standby the battery will only deplete by maybe 1% or 2% overnight. on a few occasions i've woken up in the morning to find the battery at exactly the same percentage i left it when going to sleep
I installed EleLinux 7.1 with the last Radio, used Swapper2 and partition with Swap my Sd Card.
The battery now is 48h before charging, with normal use and 3G always connected.

Decked here (though, HabaDecked version) and my phone has: 1d, 20h, 16 mins and still 57% battery remaining. My display was using the most battery (40%) followed by Cell standby with 22%.
On topic:
You don't need to flash roms like crazy or change them because your battery life is poor. The rom entity doesn't have direct effect on the battery as the kernel has.
Leave your current rom (or install any rom you want - wipe everything), give your phone time to 'swallow' the new rom and 'settle' with it. Basically you did said that the battery is new and the battery isn't fully calibrated (which will settle down in 2 or 3 days), therefore the battery stats displays erroneous data!
I had the Galaxy S2 Sprint version before this phone and when I upgraded it to the ICS the battery life dropped because of the UI using more power. I'm guessing that when the official ICS comes out for this phone it should drop too...and that's the main reason why I like the razr maxx is because of the ridiculous battery life.
Even w ics on 3g I was still getting 5+ hrs screen on time. Its really not an issue as far as battery is concerned on the maxx. Its very good

Good for who? The battery life since the ICS 4.04 update on my device 2 days ago, has been cut by about 50% ....on 2.3.6 GB i was getting 30+ hours on a full charge with moderate usage, now the same usage renders my battery dead at 17 hrs. while it blows away my Tbolt I am concerned that over time this device will prove to be a battery Hog like every other Android Device.....Goodbye ICS, I need battery not eye candy!!
Under GB, my total Android System and Android OS battery usage was always under 10%. On ICS, my total is currently 16%. So I'm losing at least 6% with ICS. Nothing major, but it is a decrease.
I've had the OTA upgrade since Saturday and I haven't seen any appreciable degradation in battery life. I use my phone a lot for calls, texting, email, and streaming media
I have the Maxx and was getting great battery life on GB... I could easily go 2 days without a charge.
I keep it on 3g only most of the time...
On ICS, using the thunderbolt radio switcher to keep me on 3g, I went from 100% to 70% battery in 30 minutes!!
I don't have any crap apps hogging battery, nor am I still playing with all the new features.
Something has got to give... I'm hoping some devs can figure this one out soon.
Hi.. I'm from Malaysia.. I received my official ICS update for my RAZR Maxx about a week ago.. And the battery performance compared to GB is the battery life decreased..
On GB i would last 1 day 12 hours plus in my normal use.. Now with ICS i can only go for average 20 hours to 25 hours max. For me there's a huge differences compared to GB.
I tried factory default reset from the OS and even from the bootloader and fully charged my handphone to 100%. But still.. The performance is still the same.. Some say we need to wait until a few cycle for the battery to improve the performance and so far i didn't see any significant improvement..
Anyone can give my any other suggestions for this problem? And i hope Motorola will come out fixes for this issue..

I use Bootmenu to access recovery. From recovey you perform the wipes.
I use Juice Defender Ultimate to help monitor and control/toggle some phone behaviours. Information is power, use the GSam battery monitor to help you detect apps that are battery hungry. Certain adjustments can save you both battery and data. I use Friendcaster instead of the android client for Facebook. Friendcaster consumes way less battery and data than the Android client. I was aware of this after a face to face between them using both GSAM for battery and Onavo for data.
My ROM (Epsilon 3) allows for HotplugX governor, I set my governor using Setcpu.
Finally for calibration I use Battery Calibration.
Hope it helps you! :fingers-crossed:

I would like to start a discussion about extending your battery life. For daily usage, battery life is sufficient, but for long trips like intercontinental flights, train travelling or car journeys, power cuts, forgetting your charger somewhere, battery life of any smartphone would not be enough.
I personally have a spare battery, which gives you double battery life, at very low costs (€8,-). What other extra's do you guys use to improve battery life, and how do you use those extra's?

Undercloking saves nothing.
I just dont get it why people say underclock it will help.
NO IT WONT HELP.
I find underclocking stupid.
Underclocking from 1GHZ to 700MHZ is not going to save your ass.
Except if you underclock to 200mhz then yes you will save a lot of battery but you will make the phone almost unusable.
Just disable the light sensor.
It is sucking battery while using your phone and also it will give you more brightness.
Ah and undervolting is not reccomended in any situation
AND FOR THOSE WHO RECCOMEND Underclock just to let you know smartassV2 has been ported for locked bootloader so just use it.
Underclock wont help you.
And also dont reduce minimum clock to 100mhz because 100mhz need more power than 200mhz (yeah it sound strange but it has been proven and it is... just strange.)
@martirio3000: ok, can you give some references?

Not lower clock, but lower voltages, hence lower current, hence lower resulting power is what saves battery. But basically yeah, to lower the voltage, you will most probably have to underclock.
CPU
MAX: 460
MIN : 245
GOV: conservative
Saves a lot of battery and the phone is usable like nothing happens, this way you can see which ROMs are the best too. Those values work best on GingerBread since it it is designed to run very smoothly on low-end devices with low-powered processors. To fully enjoy your phone, use GingerBread. Preferably use Codename.
Longer Battery Life
I would suggest you to use the[APP]DeepSleep Battery Saver.
it's a great app with 6 different power saving modes and it really saves a lot of battery even with the mobile data ON.

I have the exact same set up with you ! A big reason that your battery life is short is that data is always on ! Also you can turn off wifi whenever you don't need it. There is also an app with which you can schedule when your wifi should be turned on or off.It is called WiFi Timer. Read about governors and schedulers here

Hello X10 users,
Since very long time I can't leave my phone over the night because the battery is being drained extremely by the phone processes.
I'm currently on TUG ROM with Semc Debrand Engine Kernel.
Ive noticed the problem very long time ago, when I had all apps installed.
Here are some screenshots when I had all of the apps installed. It's the battery usage over night.

So I decided to wipe everything from my phone and leave it clean for the night and that's what came up.
Everything is being drained by deactivated phone. It was in FLIGHT MODE. So what the hell is happening.
To compare. I had my friend's phone, also X10 with completely clean DonutHD 2.2.8 ROM and it had no SIM card. Wen I left it over night the battery drain was NONE. It hasn't even changed for 1%. The diagram was completely flat.
Do You have any explanation for it? Should I try other ROM?
You should try other Rom, I had pretty same problem with ICS roms. So I changed it to MM CM 7.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25086089
And I played with my phone for a while and it was 44% and I woke up and saw 48%.

Your battery drain is bcoz of deepsleep issue....I had also experienced the same issue on TUG rom...
Install cpuspy app and check whether it goes into deep sleep mode or not..
If not, then change the cpu governor and wipe dalvik cache and reboot.

was the phone in airplane mode for this time? if not the drain is due to having no signal.
Pvy.
Best bet is to flash new rom and kernel

Yep, I was also thinking about it. I made a thread about battery I'm interested about, but no answers. It is a gold one 2430mah.
What do You think about it?
here's the thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879363

Already tried. Sometimes it just uses so much battery and sometimes the drain stops. Don't know what's wrong
Think its time for a new battery
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
The battery drain can be caused by many reasons:
+ runninh apps in bg: some apps just dare to run while phone should sleep (over night ), like facebook, it seems to run all the time (a reason to delete it and use fast for facebokk or whatever), others like googelmail or weather refresh all five minutes.... Solution: delete all apps you dont need, or set that actualisation rate.to as minimal as possible, you can download zdbox, its a great tool, with it you can set that all apps get shutdown when you lock your screen.
+ it could also be caused by a deep sleep problem (i also had it sometimes, appears after installing a new rom or flashing sonetging without wiping, or whatever i am no expert), that means that your phone doesnt go into deepsleep when you shut the screen down, and the cpu runs on in 128mhz, what costs lots of batttery.... proof this theory by downloading cpuspy, and look after one night how much it was in deepsleep, if its less deepsleep than 128, you have a deepsleep problem, fix it by wipin cache partition and dalvik, then set another governor and reboot
+ could be caused by the phone searching for the best signal, thats the thing on my phone that causes most battery drain (~35%), its just the phone searching for a gokd signal, if thats away, it searchrs and searches all the time - costs massively battery. I your diagramm it should be called mobilestandby (by the way, the curves in signal diagramm are an indivator for unstable signal) (something like that) for solution there is a free app in the market, called battery saver (you will find more than one app, look in description, there should be mentioneđ this problem)
+ Could be a big poisoned mixturw of all these reasons....
I recommend you to try all those solutions (maybe try cpuspy first, im sure its that reason)
It could also be that your phobe just f*cked up like mine, i am having hard battery drain while using my phone (7%lost only by writing this article hope for you thats its another thing)

Thanks for Your reply but I already found a problem. The battery is just f*cked up. I've changed it with my friend and everything was normal.
Now I only have to buy a new one
Im new to this forum thing so sorry if i do/type something wrong. Anyway, i got my gs3 few months ago, and the battery life lasts a day, when i had iphone 3g it lasted like 3 days without charging, so i wanna know if this is normal with everyone or i have to fix it. Yes its rooted with a costume rom.
How often do you use it? Which CPU governor are you using? Make sure it can deep sleep, because if it doesn't it will drain very quickly.
Deep sleep? First I'm hearing about that. Could I set that myself in the paranoid kangdroid ROM
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Deep sleep is a built-in feature that reduces power consumption when you're not using the phone. There are some applications that will keep your phone awake (known as a a wakelock) even when the phone's screen is off. To find out more, get CPU Spy and Wakelock Detector. The former will show you how long your CPU is in each frequency and deep sleep, if at all. The latter will scan for apps that are keeping your phone awake when it should be sleeping.
How much screen on time and other use does it get?
I get 3-4 hours of screen on time before I charge and that's a typical day for me. The newer and more powerful hardware is going to use more battery in general, too - compared to an older phone with much weaker hardware.

thank you, ive noticed my battery lasting longer. and also, do launchers like atom launcher reduce battery as well? i really like it but if i have to delete it

I experiencing the same with my new S3.
The same usage with my S2 lasted 2 days and now it's only one. I think it's maybe because the Omega rom I'm using.
May be Custom Rom isn't good. I think S3's battery must be better than I Phone

I don't think the launcher will make much difference. How long/much do you use the launcher?
im
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
so you think launcher or holo lock wont make a difference? if thats so it must be the costum rom installed on the phone i dont see anything else.. ill just take it to someone to change it hopefully it will work. not only that thw battery drains fast, it takes 7 hours ro charge..

If your phone lasts a full day, that's a miracle by today's standards. My S3 i9300 lasts about a full day also, with ~2 hours of screen time at most. Unless you have a Motorola Razr Maxx (3300 mAh battery) or a Note 2, you're probably not going to get over a day of battery life on any phone with anything over minimal usage. Also, don't let your battery die completely; don't go lower than around 20-25%. If you repeatedly do, your battery will overall hold less of a charge.
I suggest also that you turn on Power Saver if you're not gaming. Go into Settings -> Power Saver and disable the screen power savings (it limits the frame rate). This basically keeps the phone from going above 1 GHz (barely noticeable in terms of speed, but big battery savings).
Since you use a custom ROM, try messing with the min/max frequencies of your phone. My Samsung Galaxy SII has pretty good battery life; in this screenshot it's about 2 hours of screen time - 30 minutes of internet data, 30 minutes of music and the rest is miscellaneous gaming, videos, arranging apps etc. Oh yes, and a few phone calls, of course.

Click "Screen" to show for how long the screen was actually on. Overall that's good battery life though. Do you actually notice an improvement?

screen is on 2 hours and 27 mins. if i didnt use power saving the battery would probably be 15%.

That's amazing. Seriously. 2.5 hrs and 54% left. That's nuts!

Battery life heavily depends on the brightness. Mine is at about 60% fixed brightness, and in the screenshot it was at 1 hour 52 minutes of screen time.
lol i thought that battery life was bad.. thx

Don't expect too much from today's fancy smartphones. They are mostly form over function, and would rather have a slim body and unnecessarily fast internals rather than good battery life.
