Thank's for reply...is it normal??
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 already reduce my brightness.....
How to reduce battery use by display: Dont use it.
Simply flash the LeoMar75 2.4 RevolutioN Rom. The best rom!!!

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.

He's right. It's all about programs which are using your mobile data connection.
Thnk's all..really appreciate it...but i have doubt for auto brightness...i read some forum that using the auto is increased the battry usage??is it true??confius...lol..
18 hrs is not normal.....at least for me. stock rom with speedmod kernel.
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.

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

First, excuse me for my bad english. I'll try to said something and I expect would not to be an offense to you . . . It would to be easy to turn of the phone . . . no?
Of course I have to do something of this things, but If it's necessary to do all of them . . . it would be better to don't have a smartphone . . .

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 . . .

i think its because of background processes. go to developer options and reduce animation scales to .5 and keep limited processes. u can use greenify app. we can choose processes and can also hibernate them.

stamina mode is like a power saver mode which dont allow some processes to run depending on battery status . I have mentioned earlier to use greenify which dont allow more power consumption and reduction of scale animations would hep ur device to work fast.

Can you be more specific about "less", what is the drain per hour for standby, is data/wifi/BT on?

My stamina mode is always on but appears not to work at all. I keep getting notifications on both wifi and LTE from all apps that can produce them (not only whitelisted), and I get them immediately even when the "queue background data" is on.
I tend to be forgiving because battery life is fantastic. With my normal use I usually don't go under 60% at the end of the day. The phone uses maybe 0.5% / h when idle.
Indeed, stamina mode does prolong the battery. I got 2days 18hours till10% on stamina mode without any wifi, but on 3G.
Always on with around 8 apps on the white list. Get 2 days of normal day to day use. A little less if on heavy usage

Always on, but as someone stated, i dont see it working. Dont get me wrong, battery life is amazing, just that my background data seems to be working same way doesnt matter stamina on or off.. for example i have torrent app, its not on whitelist, still downloads just fine after phone goes to sleep.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you want Stamina mode to always be on you have to change the setting:
Settings > Power management > STAMINA mode > Activation
to 100%
I did some tests because I was confused after reading the manual, and it appears to me that just toggling STAMINA mode to "on" does not turn it on permanently. It still waits for the battery level to drop to the activation threshold you set.
I personally set mine to 20% because I don't want STAMINA mode on all the time.
Let us know if you know more about this or experiment more and get some results. The manual is really not very clear on STAMINA mode.

It seemed very good, maybe half the drain of regular mode, but I have limited experience because the Z2 battery is so good I rarely go below 20% :victory:
Hey guys, yesterday I just got my third Z2 due to faults with the others and I simply don't understand what is wrong with this phone! My estimated time with stamina mode is down to 1 day and a few hours again down from 6 days yesterday night! Is it the way I am charging it or is it just buggy software? I don't have any apps I don't need on my phone and even tap to wake is off. The battery works normally I guess although it is draining a bit fast (7% in 30 minutes while using it) but I don't understand what could be causing stamina mode to play up!
Is there a work around for the notification lights not working as normal in stamina mode. Its the only thing that stops me using it daily.

Yes, you need to install Xposed Framework and load the Xperia Stamina LED module. You'll need to be rooted first however.

I have the exynos unlocked s9 Plus model. I never experienced horrible battery life (my usual SOT was about 4+ hours) but I could never get the fantastic SOT of the snapdragon models. Best SOT I had seen was around 6 hours after applying dark themes, etc.
I tried a little thing two days ago, and at least for me, it seems to work.
I let the battery drain down to 1% or 2%. I shut down the phone, and rebooted to recovery mode (holding power, bixby and up buttons), and I deleted the cache partition. After deleting the partition and selecting reboot, I immediately plugged the phone on the charger (fast charge was selected).
I let the phone get to 100% (without messing with it).
My settings are:
AOD off.
Android system background operation set to OFF.
Disable network data when wifi is on (from developer options settings).
Connected to 2,4GHZ wifi (not 5ghz).
The above are the main changes I have set to save battery. (I had these settings also before I did the above trick).
All the rest settings are normal. Normal white theme, synchronization is ON, GPS accuracy is set to high etc. I use FB, G+, Messenger, Youtube a lot.
I don't know why and how, but the battery life seems to have boosted a lot. And this is due to the standby time which now is extremely minimal.
I managed to get 8 hours of SOT(!) which I have never seen before in all the the months I own the phone. Not even near that SOT.
I am not saying that this is the solution to all the exynos battery problems. I just thought I should post this so you can try it.
I really hope that it helps you too.

With the latest update (BRE), there's no need to disable Android System background activity, because is not draining battery anymore.
I did many tests every update, and only BRE fixed the drain from it. Still, it seems that disabling the option is working for some people, is about trying.

It says something like "Keep network data on even if wifi is on" but you should disable that option.
Oh, that one , it's already turned off for a long time, battery life still sucks
How can you guys live without 5G WiFi?
I did a reset of the phone and installed without restoring a backup of apps.
At least standby time increased drastically.
I still must check the SOT, see if that one increase too
Cool! I'll give it a shot!

I let the phone get to 100% (without messing with it).
My settings are:
AOD off.
Android system background operation set to OFF.
Disable network data when wifi is on (from developer options settings).
Connected to 2,4GHZ wifi (not 5ghz).
The above are the main changes I have set to save battery. (I had these settings also before I did the above trick).
All the rest settings are normal. Normal white theme, synchronization is ON, GPS accuracy is set to high etc. I use FB, G+, Messenger, Youtube a lot.
I don't know why and how, but the battery life seems to have boosted a lot. And this is due to the standby time which now is extremely minimal.
I managed to get 8 hours of SOT(!) which I have never seen before in all the the months I own the phone. Not even near that SOT.
I am not saying that this is the solution to all the exynos battery problems. I just thought I should post this so you can try it.
I really hope that it helps you too.

Hey, (Γεια σου μεγαλε!)
Ι also have a s9+ unlocked.
I'm on the november security patch and battery life is pretty mediocre.
I get high standby battery drain, probably form android system.
I have never achieved sot of more than 5 hours and 10 minutes maybe!
Can you share your experience with this update?
Have you tried this trick on the latest security patch?
