Battery Performance - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hi Guys,
I am using xperia sola from last twenty days.....:good: but the battery performance is very bad:crying: when i checked my battery usage, analysis came out that more than 50% of battery is getting used by display....so to cut down that i have started using picture wallpaper instead of live wallpaper but to my surprise i came to know that Live wallpaper is running in the background which is still consuming my battery.
Battery is lasting for less than 24 hours.
help me to resolve particular issue.

either the apps running behind the background or the 3G
is the no.1 battery killer
use advanced task killer to kill task or disable those autorun apps

Task killer won't help, those tasks will come back and make it even worst for the juice they use for initation.
Disable data, or use 2G only (turn 3G back on when you really nead it). Or you can search in this forum the way to do it automatically .
For the live wallpaper issue, just uninstall it

Bright
You should try reducing the bright, Hight bright eats all the phone battery...

just choose a static background, reduse screen brightness and usage. Today's smartphones need juice. Consider buying a spare battery

Screen brightness is going to be your number one killer. Also, if you're using WiFi/3G/4G all day long that will kill your battery too. Finally, if you're playing games that use a bunch of graphics that utilize your phone's hardware (openGL, unreal engine, etc.) it will drain your battery pretty fast.

I have seen an article somewhere saying that live wallpapers don't actually consume as much battery as people make them out to be, and i found this to be true, i got 5 days out of my Optimus 2X (no sim card inside) and it had a live wallpaper, what consumes the most battery is the screen itself (reduce brightness to get better battery life while using the phone) and data on 3G (i always turn off data when i don't use it) and i normaly get 2 days out of my Optimus 2X (1 day of heavy usage).

Thank you for the info whoever provided here.

Try or start with this app above and hunt for apps that syncing/updating in the background and basically you need to make a dumb phone out of your smartphone. Disable all autosyncs/notifications in the setting and apps like Facebook disable notifications. Open up Google play>settings and uncheck all default checked settings. Disable gmail/email notifications. Disable auto backup/restore. Disable all location services/vibrations/sounds when typing/wifi or GPS or BT when not in use. Disable data or stick with 2g in standby mode. Find a custom ROM that usually will be much better with battery management.
That's in a nutshell of how I can basically keep my phone draining 1% per hour on standby mode.

A suggession try an app called juice defender
Free available n the paid one is awesome... I am not saying saying will get 100% increase but 30~40% INCREASE is observed by me and well something is better than nothing... M using the paid version bt the free one is equally good.. Oh yeah one thing.. Download.. Thn customise.. N forget it because its fully automatic...

I highly recommend GO Power Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex.gowidget.gopowermaster
It lets you customize power profiles and set "sleep" cycles so that it uses minimal power when you're not using it anyway (I set mine to just be phone/text from 11pm until 7am).
It also has a "smart kill" button on the widget (which you don't have to use) that will prolong battery life by killing apps that are doing nothing. I know there's a lot of argument about app/task killers out there, but it's always worked well for me.

Adjust screen brightness to 0 (dim)
use dark wallpaper
disable gps, bluetooth , wifi when not in use and also air plane mode during night time
and also clear running apps with task manager:good:

Also you could try GSam Battery Monitor Pro, it will show you which process are using %'s of power

Try this one

Juice Defender functions only if you have you phone a lot of time inactive . . . It functions turning of your conections in inactivity period and olnly turns it on in few intervals depending of your profile . . . It's very good, but if you want your cell phone conected every time . . . this is not a solution . . .

[Q] Wanted battery saver

Hi all just wandering if anyone has good suggestion for saving battery. Maybe an app that saves battery or recommend something else. Im constantly charging my phone 3 times a day and my battery goes quick. Im using task killer and killing unwanted apps that are running. I have lowered the screen brightness as well. But my battery still runs out quickly.
Thank you

I have also tried cpu tuner and battery saving apps but they seem to make my phone run slow and sometimes freeze.
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
you might be running quite a lot of widgets. or animated wallpapers. taskkillers sometimes aggravate the problem, since the apps they kill, will auto start.
try some system monitoring apps. these will tell you what apps are actually USING CPU cycles. they are the ones that kills your battery quick. then you have the option to uninstall the cpu-hoggers.
if all else fails, try a different battery, or have your phone checked
Background Data is battery killer
Also double check to see if background data is being used. Settings ---> Accounts and Sync. If background data is on, many apps will continue to open themselves and refresh their data before your task killer kills them.

Is this the reason why everytime I open advance task killer, a lot of apps show up even if I didn't use them? like yahoo messenger, music, mail,.. I think almost all of my apps show up and I only have like 20+MB of free space even if I kill apps every 30 minutes?

My suggestion is to stop using autokill apps (if you're on eclair). Just kill apps manually when you feel like your phone is slowing down. What launcher are you using? Zeam is lightweight and fast. Also, keep the number of homescreen and widgets to a minimum, only the ones that you need. I also think auto rotation of the screen consumes a lot of power (I may be wrong). Is you phone new? It takes a few discharge/charge cycle before the battery achieves its full potential. Turn off WCMDA when you're not using it (use only GSM). Turn off WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS when not in use.
These are the things that I'm doing and my battery lasts 2 days with heavy texting (when I say heavy, it's 100+ text messages sent a day plus 200+ text messages received), music (1-2 hours when travelling), 1-2 hours talk time per day and a few games. I also use navigation and facebook from time to time. I use Zeam and I have 4 homescreens and 4 widgets open (APNdroid, Clock wdgt, Power Control, XPERIA Flashlight)

do this and in addion add some system apps that keep reopening to the task killers ignore list. Like for me for some reason the settings app opens 2 mins after i kill it, wasting battery. So i set it to ignore
I found that lowering CPU Frequency on Standby helps the battery. I squeeze about half a day equaling a day and 1/2 out of phone. To achieve this I use Overclock Widget(it's the only one I tried) and it does the job. Search the market for a CPU tuner that has Standby and Screen On settings. Hope u get results.
my phone lasts for two days now, and used to last only for ten hours. There are two important things to save battery: use 2g and kee gps turned off! I used to let it enabled thinking that if there were no difference if there were no apps using it. Stupid idea...

[Q] Batter life going down after doing the battery boost?

Ok so I did the battery boost thing on one of the threads, which says that you only lose 0-1 % per 9 hours on CM 6.1.3 by wolfbreak
When I did that true to its claims it gave me that long battery life but now I see that my battery is draining quickly again
did this happen to anyone else before?

Have you installed something after those ''tweaks'' that stays open in the background?
Just some games but no major programs
probably the autokiller settings are too aggressive, and because your apps (widgets maybe?) are being killed and trying to reopen constantly this is actually in effect draining your battery

Some games caused for me battery drain. So try looking with some kind of app (don't know name anymore) which one uses the most battery when on background.

Apps won't reopen if you do nothing and closed them. So it will not cause battery drain. (And if they open without using them it maybe because it sheduled or you pressed a app that made it open)

In theory yes. But in most cases the oom value of most commonly used widgets and their neccessary services are not raised or remain at around 0. AutoKiller is actually very intuitive with what apps priorities are raised it doesnt just kill everything indisciminately like most autokill task managers. I have used high values (150,200,250) for AutoKiller for more than 4 months and I have never had it kill any services or apps for widgets or even anything I want running in the background like Lookout, JuiceDefender, EasyFilter or DSP Manager. I also have numerous widgets and have never had problems with any of them being killed. I also get pretty awesome battery life. Chances are the problem is with some apps running unchecked in the background and not that apps you want in the background are getting killed.
Remember that everyone has different apps and everyone uses their phone differently so something that works for some people might not work as well for you. There are a lot of different things you can do to improve your battery life but if you try to set a target amount of battery drain (like the 0% in 9 hours) you can only be disappointed. Just use what you think helps you get the best performance for you and be happy for anything that seems to improve.

if can..i want to extend the battery life..any suggestion for apps??thank's...
If you wanna extend the battery life you should uninstall all apps that can possibly keep the phone awake. more apps needing CPU = less battery life.
also lower the display lighting if you have high battery use of it.

Yes, it's normal
Turning down the brightness will of course help.
Normal seem to be about 12-40 hours. Some apps are badly behaved, others just take a lot of power. It seems there might be a few OS bugs which come and go depending on exactly how you use the phone - some ROMS/kernels seem to help but it is difficult to be specific. Check the BetterBatteryStats thread for some ideas on debugging.
18 hours is decent, it all depends on how you use the phone.
If for 10 hours your phone's screen was on, then ofc this is amazing.

What is your brightness setting? When you are in the battery usage page, click on Display and tell us how many hours the display was on.
You should also check if your phone is on standby mode properly. When you press the awake button and the phone awoken instantly, then you need to restart the phone until it doesn't (e.g. 1-2 second delay is good). I had this problem before and it ate my battery like crazy.
Sleepy cat: my brightness setting is auto & already running for 1hr 38m...since i charge..last night..and the display percentage is 55%...how to reduce it??..

I personally found the SolarFlare rom much better compared to many other roms. Have the longest battery life on that.
Use auto brightness, use running services to close what programs/services you don't need(for example I always close skype, yahoo messager, update software, out of milk etc...depends on what you have installed on it and what you don't need ) use static wallpaper and most important charge your phone OFF.

[Q] How to prolong battery life of mini pro / Alternative to Juice defender??

Hi, I own a Xperia mini pro. My first android phone .I have rooted my phone. The phone's ROM hasn't been changed. I'm using root apps like CPU Master, Auto Manager Memory, SD card speed increase etc. Default launcher is GO launcher.
I had read in many forums that rooting a phone and using softwares like CPU Master may increase the battery life. Currently my average battery life is around 12-14 hours. It was the same when I hadn't rooted my phone. I leave HSDPA data transfer always on. That might be one of the contributors in draining the battery faster. I used to use Juice defender earlier. Though it seemed to increase my phone's battery life (mainly because of my setting to switch data transfer off when screen is off 'but' allow data transfer for only some selected apps even when screen is off), it used to make my phone laggy. I've used other apps like green power, tasker and others.. While they switch off data when screen is off, none of them have option to enable data for selected apps even when screen is off(which i need because most of my friends use apps like whatsapp, facebook messenger or gtalk to message me). I've also removed some system apps, like fun and downloads, popcap etc. Could I use any alternatives for the apps mentioned above which consume lesser battery? Or is improving battery life on rooting only possible when ROM and kernels are changed
Plz suggest an alternative to juicedefender that allows me to do what i want. And it'l be really helpfull if someone who has achieved prolonging his/her mini pro's battery life gives me some tips on the same.
33 1/2 hours since I posted this question. And still no reply.. I'm disappointed
Hope this helps.
Hi,
Bro u have a rooted phone , but you don't have a custom ROM that means that you can not overclock or under clock your mobile, so using cup master or set cpu will not help you.
Solution can be u an flash a new ROM having an overclocked kernel or you can flash a overclocked kernel to your current stock ROM or if you don't want to do any of this simply uninstall cpu manager as it will be eating unnecessary juice from your battery and not helping in any way.
Auto memory manager does improves battery life but only a bit, it basically controls the apps killing rate i.e. it manages how much RAM should remain free at all times helps improves performance of you phone, so don't use an aggressive profile because it will kill apps (background or paused or closed) very frequently which in turn will lead to use of your battery, instead use a mild or less aggressive or default settings this will improve both performance of your phone and use lesser juice as compared to a aggressive setting.
Also keep in mind since u r using Gingerbread so killing apps using task killers after every few minutes will not help , so u can uninstall task killers, also if u need a task killer it is already present in go launcher u can use that.
Juice defender is ultimate app which helps improves battery a lot, but u need to have optimized settings according to your needs.
My advice is use smart profiles by Antutu to create profiles for different timings i.e when you need 3g or wirelss or not as when your are sleeping you don't need wifi or 3g on.
Also best option of saving battery is reducing screen brightness.
You can reduce brightness to 20 % which you are inside the building or working under lights as the screen is properly visible.
And outside in bright sun you can use 35-50% brightness.
Keeping phone at 100% brightness will screw the battery life.
You can use LUX or ambident light senor for automatic brightness setting according to the day light or unnatural light or dark.
hope this helps you.

I forgot to mention point about serious battery saving settings.
1) Use lesser widgets only widgets you really need, as they are battery hogger.
2) Try to reduce push interval for email notification, facebook, twitter, weather widget because using 1-5 min push interval will use a lot of juice, try increasing interval to 30 minutes or more or use manual push if you don't need the notification updates every single minute pooping in. This part eats most amount of battery so if u can change the settings this will improve you battery life a lot.
3) Also watch if any unnecessary services are not running in background, because a lot of apps uses services which eats significant battery , so if there is a application which is not needed at all but is running unnecessary service u can uninstall it if you want, but this is not mandatory.
4) Lastly you can use watchdog app , it log the cpu usage by apps and will let you know which app is eating up a lot of juice. So u can find the culprit and find alternative app for that.

Some quick general questions about preserving battery through out the day.

Hey all, just wanted to post some quick general questions. So first off, I wanted to know if you all use auto-brightness or if you use the brightness widget to adjust the brightness based on ambient light. Second, when it comes to closing out apps from memory, do you only use the recent apps capacitive button, or do you also go into settings>battery and click on all of the available X's to the right of each app to close out the apps that way as well? Just asking these questions as I'm trying to maximize my daily battery life on top of LK kernel. Thanks!

I usually allow Sense to handle the killing of task. I know some thinks it does so very aggressively, but it seems fine to me.
As for brightness, I leave mine set at 50% and call it a day. My phone goes off the charger at 6:30 a.m and goes back on at 4:00pm. I'm usually around 50/55% when I get home to my charger. That's using Twitter religiously as well as Google Now for scheduling appointment. Also checking forums.
One battery saving tip I have for you though is this: Put your phone in Airplane mode if you know you won't be using for a while or if where you are currently doesnt have a very good signal.

Some things I do when Im away from home:
- Don't use autosync (put the sync widget on a home screen and when you want to sync your stuff just press it and it will sync everything once when you need it)
- Use wifi as much as possible
- Keep brightness at a comfortable level but try to keep it around 50% or less. I keep mine at about 25~30%
I use the recent apps button and clear out apps when im done with them (I can't really say if this actually kills the apps or not or how effective it is for saving battery)
Turn off unnecessary syncs. Do you really need facebook to update every 30min? Weather to update every hour? Evernote to update every hour?
Disable those syncs (especially facebook), and I usually see a saving of 20% by the end of day.
Well what I do is, since I have root access, I use juice defender to control my auto sync, CPU speed, usage and brightness. And since I did that my battery is around 20 percent at 10 pm. And I take it off charge at around 6 30 am.

For me: 1) As mentioned, first check those syncs 2) I don't have Facebook installed, if I want to check it, I do thru the browser 3) I use the Power Contol widget, it has the screen brightness toggle. I use it at 0-15% in the evening indoors and morning, 1/3 generally and Auto during the day in my truck. If I'm going to use the internet for a couple hours session, I'll tether to my HP Mini, saves screen time on the phone. At times during the workday and I have no use for the internet nor have any impending emails I absolutely need to receive, I will turn off Mobile data, that alone will save you tons of battery and you will still receive text messages and phone calls. If I'm in a fringe area I will do the same, turn off Mobile data or watch your battery drain right before your eyes. If you use Airplane mode, I'm sure you know you won't be able to text of receive/make calls. GSam Battery Monitor is a good app to monitor your battery usage and what apps are being used. Oh, and yes, I just use the Recent Apps to wipe out apps I'm done with and let Sense handle the rest.
I just used Juice defender to manage my phone. Works well.
