Is it just me or is this phone the phone with the worst battery life ever seen on any device.
Seeing gingerbread on this phone is already annoying enough but the battery life is completely useless.
Considering that it has sealed in battery, we're truly stuffed. Can't understand it at all. Don't they test these phones.
I went to bed last night with the battery at 98% and woke up to find it this morning at 63%. Just ridiculous.
And like I said nothing can be done about it,

It's just you
what firmware are you running? how long have you had the phone? If you are at .73 you should have no problems, even at update .67 its not too bad, so it's you... unless you sleep for 2 days .
Also, there's also a battery thread, which isn't even on the second page of this section yet. Or did you make this just to start a whine
thread?
Edit: Actually, its on the second page now, my bad
I'm on stock Rom the battery is pants, however I have used my desire charger, full charge from 40 percent in 15 mins, so it may be pants but it's ok ics should improve things

Did you get out of bed at 5pm? Check your installed apps and you definitely need to read the battery thread to see what every1 is experiencing with the latest firmware etc.

I recall there is a battery thread. Do we need another one?

i tested mine last night.
Over night with WIFI on, Network ON it eat just 9% of battery.
Also you got rapid charge, they give this to us with a reason.
Hope moderators will merge the thread with the other one
I am running .73 firmaware & have no battery problem.. 16-17 hours with heavy use is more than enough when everything is on auto update.. In my sleep time, battery goes down just 3-4%.
.73 Firmware says otherwise
same here after update (.73) it lasted more than 8hrs (heavy usage). 7:00am unplugged and came back home around 7:00pm with 20% left. Standby during sleeping now takes around 3-4% in sleep mode compare to 30-35% on firmware .63 or .62 (i forgot)
4 days here and still 23percent left...

What is this "tricks" you are reffering to ?? And where do we find this option?
Battery life is horrible compared to any Samsung phone i'm now selling my xperia s as it is just too bad...
you need a firmware update.
my Xperia S has been unplugged for 15 hours and still has 53% battery left.
normal use - texting, browsing, facebook, etc.

I know battery suck on .67. Even my Arc did better. But don't you cry, be optimistic, the Xperia S in still in development, and still needs to optimized by Sony. And in the future it does! Then post yourself a happy smile ok?

On .73 it's lasting longer than my Arc did, with even more background synch events.
The Xperia Ray had a awesome battery, on that note
Firmware does improve battery, gingerbread did wonders for the X10, but like everyone said the latest firmware does fix the battery, I had to charge midday when I first got my XS because the battery would drop very quick with heavy usage and half a day with moderate use, now it's last all day till bed time, thou it still can be improved.

I have a similar problem. My phone randomly turns off/restarts. Afterwards, my battery icon turns gray for a few minutes. When it comes back, it drops by ~10-20%.
This actually happened to me before several months back. Last time, I called HTC and they gave me a new battery. That worked for a couple of months, but now it's back. I'm currently working with HTC tech support to get it figured out.

I was, but I recently installed Energy rom. The problem is still there. I'm running my phone in safe mode now and seeing if my phone restarts.
Quite a few people have problems with stock batteries. I encounter the same problems regardless what ROM I'm running. I bought a couple Anker 1900 mAh batteries and will report back.
You need a new battery, but you can try draining the battery all the way down to the point that the device can't even come on, then it charge it over night all the way back up. See if that helps, it tends to help with this battery issue.
Ido I have the same prob but I was thinking how about resetting battery stats in recovery
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
I am so relived to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem. Let me tell you guys my experience with up to 3 batteries, various roms, and weeks of googling...
So basically, changing battery do fix the problem; but only temporarily. It can fix the problem for about a couple weeks or months, but the problem will come back anyway. I am on my third battery now and switching between the batteries; so, I am pretty sure that it is only a temporary fix. Cycling between the three battery sometimes is pretty helpful (but again, it is just a temporary fix).
Another way to fix it temporarily that works pretty well for me is to take out the battery, wait for about 5 seconds, and turn on the phone again. It only fix the problem for about a couple days though; so, might as well switch battery if you got another battery.
Another possibility to fix it without playing with the battery, you can try factory reset or install another custom rom. It sometimes helps also, but a pain if you are not the type that likes to try different roms.
Lastly, the better and simpler fix is to reboot to recovery, wipe all caches and dalvik, fix permissions, and reboot again. This can fix the problem (but only temporary).
Out of those four tries, I find that swapping battery or full wipe / install
Custom rom tends to fix the problem for a longer time. I haven't been able to find any permanent fox for the random shutdown yet. But, I hope those information helps for anyone who have the same problem

The draining battery does work. Just turn EVERYTHING on to drain it (brightness, GPS, bluetooth etc.) and watch some videos to drain it down all the way. After this do a mini power cycle (pull battery wait awhile, put it back, then leave it charging for at least 10 hours).
This solved the problem for me

Exactly, worked for me and quite a few others, I've tested it myself when I had bought my second device used, it came with this very issue, I killed what was left of it and let it charge over night, it's been remarkable ever since, but different folks different strokes, the next best thing to do is to change the battery since that solved it for others. And for the record, the oem battery is the best to replace it with since some anker batteries have only made it worse for some.
getting my newly acquired Amaze device in a couple of days and will see if i run into this issue... god hope not lol... if battery issue does occur - will follow thru the full batt drain solution (mentioned above).

I'm having this issue as well. My phone would randomly just shut off on me while using it at say, 75%, then turn off. When I boot it back on, it drops to around 50% or so.

I have my stock battery and 2 Ankers. The phone will randomly die with any of the batteries. The battery drain trick seems to work okay, but it certainly isn't a "fix" IMO.
I drained my stock battery last weekend and charged it to 100% on the Anker charger. Worked great down to 10% on Sunday. Charged the phone to 100% on the nightstand, while I slept Sunday night. Phone randomly shutoff at ~25% at work on Monday. Had similar results with the two Anker batteries too.
Hello! I've been using smartphone for the part two years and I had started with Xperia X8 which doesn't seems have a good battery life and change to Samsung Young. Last month, I decided to go back to Sony and purchased Xperia Ray. I must say it amazed me for it's standard and good battery life, but the past few days I had trouble with it's battery.
Every night before I went to bed, I would often let my Ray charged until the next morning. As usual, I would wake up and go to school with my phone turned off throughout the school session. When I got home, as I turned my phone on, I noticed that my battery has sucked up to 80%, which I am totally aware that I had charged my phone to 100% before, and I charged it when the phone is off.
As for my typical use, I tend to have moderate usage on the internet using the data connection as my phone cannot connect to the WEP wireless in my home. As for game, I could say I spent 2 hours per day. I rarely use my phone for SMS or call. And the phone sometimes gets very warm too.
As for other program that I use, I only have GO Launcher. I also have problem where my display is constantly on 80%> even I had disable most display setting. I will post screenshots later for your better understanding.

Hmm... Battery discharging even when phone is off.... Do one thing. .. Recharge the phone full and remove the battery for couple of hours out of the phone.... Then put the battery back in and see the %... If it's again low , then you might want to replace it with a new one... If it's 98-96% then this means your phone is eating battery even when switched off ( which is not possible ) ... Alternatively you can run battery health test by antutu..

Just read this and thanks for your suggestion. I will check upon this method first. As for the antutu app, I will get the battery tested after your first suggestion. FYI, on other app "Battery Monitor Widget" it stated that my Li-Po are in good state cut there's no harm in trying.
Maybe you should charge your phone up to 100% then wipe your battery stats in cmw.
Sent from my ST17i using xda premium
First charge your battery 100% then enter to CWM and Wipe battery stats.
If it wouldn't solved, just flash and use an another rom.
rachit.rc96
Well, you are right. The battery and the phone are not the problem. I've charged it to 100% and unplugged its battery for 5 hours and when I plugged it in, it still 100%. But still, the battery indicated that it reached 88% after 25 minutes. It's quite bugging me because I noticed that my usual usage to 90% practically takes 30 minutes. Haven't use antutu yet though as I don't know how it actually worked.
tags23 & bandarigoda123
I don't think that wiping the battery status won't change a thing but it might calibrated its stats. I think I won't be requiring those as when I flashed my phone a week after I bought it, the battery stats are still relatively same.
I'm still open for any suggestion as I still think that my last resort would be factory reset the phone.

When they die, they die. $10 off ebay got me an oem replacement. Heavy gaming I get a half day to full, depends on game. Regular usage gets almost 2 days worth. With the new one I try not to make it a habit to charge it while over 20% battery and regularly let it die out on its own and use fera's technique to keep it conditioned. Had the same battery for a year now.
I googled a lot before posting in here, tried many things but none worked.
This started happening around 2 months ago. I installed a battery calibration application from Play Store. After installing it, in place of making my battery better, it destroyed it.
Now my battery lasts about 6-7 hours with hardly using it (but wifi or 3g on all the time). When I depart at 7:30 to go to school, it is 100%, and at 13:00 my phone turns off.
I thought it was a problem of calibration, and i don't really know if that works. Tried many other apps. None worked.
Tried installing cwm and wiping battery stats at 100%. Didn't work.
Tried repairing with PC Companion or SUS. Nope
I bought a new battery 3 days ago, because thought that the problem was the battery and not the calibration anymore. Didn't work! My battery barely lasts 7 hours, when before it lasted a full day.
Tried factory reset. As you can guess Didn't work :crying:
Then I thought maybe the time has come to reinstall original rom once more. I did that yesterday. Installed from the beginning and rooted my phone, and formatted sdcard. Installed this systemUI too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762162 .
Thought that the problem would be resolved. But no. Today the battery dropped from 30% to 1% and turned off.
This is driving me crazy. What to do?
Have you ever heard of this problem? Anyone got the solution?

This makes me think that this phone is timed to power off. So in average using it drops normally the numbers but, when I don't use it or hardly use it, it drops, like it should power off.

You can buy a new phone. (just kidding). Try this: Add this two lines (ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0) & (pm.sleep_mode=1) to the end of your build.prop. If you don't know how to edit the build.prop you can learn here.
You installed new rom when this start? If yes try stock or some where you dont see that problem anyway this is nothing to do with battery stats. Every time when you charge phone above 90% then android make wipe battery stats automaticaly and even this havent nothing to do with %.
