I'm thinking about getting the Xperia go, but i would like to know, how's battery life? I have the Xperia s right now, and its battery is a big disappointment, can't get 3 hours of onscreen time.. With light usage! How many hours do you get on xgo? I won't use 3g at all, only 2g. Can I expect something better than what I have on xs?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi everybody.
Look at my attached pic, seriously what other smartphone out there can give you battery life like that??? I know it's been on standby the whole time but I am impressed enough to take a pic and post about it here - and I did use it 2 days back to take lots of photos in the snow so don't know what that didn't come up on the battery usage screen.
Here's the settings:
3G off
Wifi off
Google sync off
Silent
There's no apps installed running on it currently.
Since getting an Xperia Mini Pro I have also got the HTC Desire Z and iPhone 4. But still I keep getting impressed by the Mini Pro and am very tempted to sell my HTC-Z and stick use the XMP instead as primary personal phone. (iPhone4 is from work).
Things I like about the Mini Pro:
LOUD loudspeaker
Best physical keyboard
Tiny small and strong build
FAST
Reliable
Any way hope this post was in some way helpful
standby ... wow.
in comparison to 3 hours of maximum usage ...
sorry but the threadtitle made me angry.
Yeah to be honest if you use it as intended your going to get roughly about a days worth of use if your lucky!
You could keep it turned off, in a box in he cupboard, and the battery would last for weeks!
woot you serious ? I got like 7 days when idle

In stand by mode my battery drains for 1% per hour and when m using 3G and browsing then i drains about 13% per hour.....
I use task killer to kill background apps and keep brightness to balance condition
Also i keep my network to GSM only i.e to 2G when i don't want to surf net
It help me to get more battery life and i only need to charge once in a day
Hi,
I am thinking of getting an xperia P.it looks very classy & sexy.but i have 1 confusion it is about battery life.i just want some genuine feedback from current xperia P owners.
How is the battery life with 1305mah battery?
with heavy usage & normal usage ?
thanks ur support will decide my future cellphone....

You should definitely read that thread. All you want to know about the mobile, its battery and more in it.
However, to summarize, from what I could gather from the reviews, almost all using the P are satisfied with the battery as per their usage standards. On an average the 1305mah battery lasts for a day which is more than enough to get back home and plug it for a complete recharge.
I'm going for a phone upgrade from a Nokia 5233 to a droid. I've shortlisted the Xperia U, and Xperia Sola.
Actually, i struggle a bit with the battery life of my 5233(1320 mAh). Its pathetic actually. It barely stands a day.
According to gsmarena, both phones gots the same rated battery as my 5233. Now, that's wierd! Is Novathor that energy effecient? And even, the Xperia P got the same battery
I'm a moderate user, which includes browsing, some music, and messaging. Barely calls.
Can any Sola, or U user comment below? And please do help me choose my phone among these
The battery of xperia sola can last for a day and a half if you use not so much, but if you use more I think it will last for a day or less. But I think a day use is ok for a smartphone. And about other things of sola, just one word: perfect!!!!
I am also a moderate user like you, I love listening to music and browse internet. I listen to music about 2/3 hours a day, with internet browsing more than 4 hours (I am always online). + messaging and few phone calls. I can easily get through a day without any difficulty with my Xperia U.
Xperia U and sola are basically almost the same, they have same chipset, same amount of ram, same battery capacity.
Well, if storage is not an issue for you than you can get Xperia U for less, and you get front-facing camera which sola does not have.
If you really need larger storage then you should go for sola, but you will not have FF camera and irreplaceable battery.
Hope it helps you to decide which phone to buy

Thanks mates
Well, I'd bought an Xperia U, and I'm happy with it
I get about 13 hrs of battery backup..

I'd thought I would share my battery results on Xperia u. I'm really happy with it. This is on stock Rom not rooted with moderate usage.

Usually 2-3 days at my XPERIA U. I'm using WiFi and texting very often.

i had a nokia 5233...my battery lasted quite a lot (without data connection)..
i have a xperia u right now..on ics, battery lasts for about 1.5 days with arounds 4 to 4.5 hrs screen usage!
P.S: if u can spend a little more (about 3K), u can buy the lg optimus l9, its got a monster battery (2150 mah) and recently received jelly bean update too!
Cheers
Hi!
I just got my Xperia Mini Pro (a week ago).
I immediately flashed it with CM10 #146 and overall I'm satisfied with it's resoponsivness and performance. The only thing that worries me is horrible battery life, I just charged it this morning and now, about 6 hours later (20 mins of talking, about 15 messages) my battery's at 35%. I'm not using any data conenction, I have switched it to 2G only, my signal is strong, I have reduced screen brighness to about 75%, and I keep both BT and GPS off. I do use wifi, but that's like 10 mins a day. My phone came with a 1160mAh battery, which I know is not the most powerful one, but baraly 1 day of batteyr life in a brand new phone, and being forced to charge it every evening just scares me
Is this normal for these Xperias? My old Wildfire used to last about 2-2,5 days.
Yes. It is normal for me. I charge my phone everyday.
You can lower your brightness or apply battery tweaks to preserve battery life

You can try another kernel, for instance MESA 2.2, and undervolt a bit. I get about 2 days of battery with that kernel and some init.d and build.prop tweaks.
I don't really fancy any of those ubertweaked-hardocre-v6-megaoptimized kernels and stuff. Cyanogen mod does the job for me, and I don't really want to "overtweak" antything I'm just gonna have to stick with what I have I guess.
I don't think that flashing it with stock FW (which I'd hate to do) will help it?
Christ... I don't get it... A friend of mine has an Xperia LWW with the same battery, the same CPU, and she charges it like three times a week, while I'm gonna have to charge it like seven times a week. It's just wrong. I hope that the battery will get a bit better over time, and I'll be able to use for at least 24h without looking for the charger.

Yeah man, but i guess she hasn´t flashed cm10... ROM consumes battery as well. If you were on stock firwmare as i guess she is, then you would have almost the same battery backup
Always check that sync is off. Cause it will drop battery bar easily. Of course in case you don't need sync.
And check build.prop. there's 2-3 lines which will help the phone to deep sleep better. (Search xda)
I myself use aokp jb with messa kernel and with normal usage it takes me 1.5 day.

I respect all the developers but with due respect and personal opinion:
Kernel : Kernel PAnic v2.5(ICS) and Rage 3.0(GB)
ROM : Smultronic v 5.0(ICS) and Spartan v2.05(GB)
Brightness : 40%
Sync off
I get a usage of about 2 days on both of these roms...and if u are a light user i mean if u play no games them HyperBeamCream is really good for ICS.
well...1 day battery life is abt normal for our fones which have1200 mah battery,,,,can't help it:crying:
well the simplest way to take a step for solution is changing kernel to mesa cause with fxp 146 kernel there was a horrible battery drain for me also. Reduce the screen brightness & turn off 3g if u dont need it
i suggest mesa with CM10 too .
You could also decrease processor speed in standby, I think normally it's 250 but you can put like 125.
In cm10 mesa kernel does the job... It really saves the battery... And one more thing is that, give it some time... The battery will become normal after a few days of usage...
