Horrendous Battery drain - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone
I have been using an x10i since the past 2 yrs
I started using custom roms when Sony released the gb update cuz it was laggy
My problem is that now no matter which Rom I choose
A full charge hardly lasts an hour
Consider me a heavy user
& I have used every way that is out there to calibrate my battery
From using calibration apps to wiping stats using recoveries & overcharging battery
Is there any solution to my problems??

It is very simple, you know you are heavy user, you know you have used your battery for 2 years.
Do you know that that means your battery's life cycle has come to an end?
Go buy a new battery.

Original would be better and also you can try bigger battery as you are a heavy user. Check Accessories section of X10 but it will increase your phone size and bulk

try this solution FIRST
goto cyanogen mod settings in ther performance->cpu settings->governor->select interactive....
i am using fxp125 and am a medium user my battery lasts on full charge for 2days 12hours

[Q] Xperia X10 charging problem

Hello everybody,
I have a big-small problem with my X10. My phone is charging but very hard. It take about 6 hours till battery is full. I think it is a hardware problem. I hope not..
Any suggestion is wellcome. I wasn't to any GSM Service with him...so i don't know nothing about that.
P.S
I have that charging problem from the begining, not for soon.
Hi, you could try the Battery Calibration method and see if it helps.
Good luck!

I've tryed almost all ROM's from XDA ( except MIUI cause i don't like iOS interface ). Custom and stock ROM's...
That's why i think it is a hardware problem
That's really weird... maybe you should check the battery itself. You can do a physical recalibrate by wrapping the battery in newspaper and store it in the fridge. I'm not joking, it really refreshes the battery. Anyway it depends on you

Have you tried with a different charger? I was facing the same problem, exchanged chargers with my sister and now instead of 6 hours to almost full charge it takes only 1
Sent from my X10a using xda premium
Nothing to worry. Use ac charger. It uses 3.12v on average but usb uses 3.72v onn average.
Insert the charger and open up your back cover. Put it near an air conditioner or over an icepack. Don't let the temperature drop below 31degree Celsius, else it will moisten the internal parts. It will charge your phone within 2hours!
Try this trick. If it works, i will tell you the logic behind this stuff

Samsung galaxy s3 Problem !!

Hello i just bought my s3 yesterday and battery is draining very fast i have used the fix but i have that problem of screen which takes 88% of batery and it's not normal ! here is a screenshot
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/861/screenshot2012070614501.png/
Keeping the screen on will dran the battery since that's what screens do.
Regardless of the device (including laptops), screens always take >50% of the battery.
Could you show the screen-on time?

Let me venture a guess. When you get a new phone, you tend to play with it a lot, hence the screen on time and battery drain Give it a few days, it will be fine -- this phone has great battery life.

The battery needs to go through a few full cycles of drain and charge before it's reached optimal performance. First week battery drained more but now it's performing brilliantly.
Just keep letting it drain completely and charging fully a few times and have auto brightness selected.

I've heard that li-ion batteries don't suffer from memory issues and there's therefore no reason to calibrate them or run them in any specific charge/discharge cycle.
If you ask 100 different people about how best to use your battery you'll get 100 different answers. Don't worry about it, just enjoy the phone.
Hmm. This phone probably has the best battery life of any android phone I've owned, and I've had a few.

Look in the attachments..
You haven't said how long the screen was on for.
I could show this first screenshot and say OMFG the battery doesn't last, but actually when you look at the second screenshot, then there's obviously no issues (and I am indeed perfectly happy with my battery life)

Tripe.
Minimum of 3 cycles to reach peak performance. I have flashed hundreds of roms/kernals, it ALWAYS takes a few days for the battery to normalise.
Op, take a chill pill, calm down, post again in a few days. If you're still having drain, it will be down to an app or your settings.

12 hrs is not a good battery life I usually get around 18-22 hrs with moderate use, wifi on for 6-7 hrs. I have removed all the bloatware, which itself eliminates useless battery draining processes.
End of the day it all depends on your settings and use. But Leaked JB is well known for bad battery life. Hope that gets fixed in official release.

My battery life was crap on leaked JB. Cant remember exactly on how long it lasted but it didnt feel long compared to other roms.
At first batterytime was not so good, but after 2-3 charging cycles, and disabling all bloatware it's quite good, easily lasting 2 days with lite to moderate use. Seeing the same on NeatRom Lite 4.0
Debloated, philz kernel and stock battery...
Crap imo. But also seem to have a few wakelocks. eBay I think...

It looks like batterydrain is good when not using the phone much, but not so with more use. I have been using it a bit more than usual today, and after about 7 hours from unplugged, and a little more than 3 hour total screen time (minimum brightness), and 1,5 hour web-browsing, 1 hour playing music, the battery was below 15% (screen using 45% of battery) and I'm really not too happy anymore...

It seems battery is always an issue with android. But if you're using a stock ROM and kernel with light usage it's kinda strange maybe the battery is weak. Are you playing games? If so, it drains the battery so fast.

It's ok mate well listening to music while doing stuff really drains the battery. Try to adjust some settings like brightness, wifi, 3g, to maximize battery life. and monitor the battery first even it's secondhand try not to listen to music for long time and see if the battery drains a lot during standby mode. My battery lasts for 3 hours playing temple run 2

You should not let the phone discharge past 30 percent battery. Never completely dry your battery, you have damaged it.
Get more batteries, and a wall battery charger. They are cheap, you can forget about plugging your phone, and you can carry extra batteries. Never completely discharge them, and charge them full each time.

[Q] Any Way To Increase Battery Life On JB.

So i love the new JB firmware update. But the battery drain has quite a impact and drains faster. I solved the overheating problem but all i need is help or tips to increase my battery life.
All Help is welcomed. Thanks!

Try using the Easy Battery Master.
It have a formidable option called BOOST who kills all unused apps and services every 5 minutes(need be configurated to it) and also show the remaining battery in time calculated by your current usage status. This app give me something about 2-3 hours of extra battery daily.

For genuine batt's always visit the nearest Samsung Service center and get one
Since almost all available on the net (online store's) are fake one's
