Hey all,
I have an issue with my Xperia Go. When fully charged it says the estimated standby time is 6 hours... Switching on "Stamina mode" says the same thing, 6 hours : (
It usually lasts much more than 6 hours... more like 24 hours of standby (not great, but much better than 6!).
Here's my current set up and what I've done so far:
- With a brand new Xperia Go, installed ExtremeSecurity Rom, done a full wipe, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik.
- Charged fully to 100%, wiped battery stats, allowed to drain with normal use (mostly standby, not in stamina mode), then fully charged again.
I'm using the supplied, official charger for this and checking battery usage there's nothing unexpected going on (Screen 35%, Android OS 16%, Media Server 16%...) The only non-standard non-system app using power is BeyondPod which isn't downloading, just playing from time to time and it's at 12%.)
I'm really confused and don't know what else to try. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I guess you did not read the op properly. That thread you mentioned is about battery drain, and that's not the issue here. The battery usage is fine. The problem is the standby estimate.
I´m having the same problem. My Xperia P usually goes a day and a half to use the whole battery with medium/low usage, but my estimate is usually around 9 or 10 hours. I have not tried to delete the battery stats yet, but my phone is charging right now and once it reaches 100% i'll do it and post the results.
Anyway, since it doesn't affect battery life, it's not a major problem

Yeah it's the same with my xgo too, but i think that it's a wrong estimate time... a kind of bug that like u sais doesn't affect the battery life
Deleted battery stats, but no change. Still an estimate of 10h standby.

Hmm, so it's probably not the ES ROM. Plus nobody else is reporting this over in the ExtremeSecurity thread (I can't post there yet, less than 10 posts).
I know this issue is (probably) just about the estimate, not the actual battery life, but I can't help but wonder if this affects the actual life too. My phone seems to charge very quickly, like from 0% to 100% in an hour - 90 minutes (is that normal?), and the real standby time is OK, but less than I expected. Without an accurate estimate, it's hard to know what to expect from it!

I believe it doesn't affect battery life at all, because i´m having about the same battery life as when i had ICS, and then there wasn't even an estimate.
The charge time sounds right. My Xperia P usually charges in that time.

***NOTICE***
The ROM Manager version of CWM does NOT wipe battery stats properly, as with many other things. What you need is jt1134's version of CWM that is all happy and works and stuff.
You can find his happy CWM here. And here. And also here.
And here.
Big thanks to LegionTHEFecalExcretion for the heads up on that.
***END NOTICE***
NOTE: On current DL30 and EB01 ROMs, you will not see battery life like you did on DL09 with undervolted kernels. There are NO undervolted kernels as of yet, everything kernel wise with Froyo ROMs in very much stock. These steps will improve your battery life in comparison to when you flashed Froyo, but you are not going to see spectacular changes in battery life up to what you were getting with undervolted DL09, etc. It's just not possible until we get undervolted kernels and Froyo matures for our device, development wise.
Hi everyone, I've been seeing a lot of threads about bad battery life, whether switching to Kaoscinate, Vanilla, or DL30. Stop it! Just kidding. There is a simple process everyone should follow when switching between different enough ROMs, like AOSP, CM6 and TW Eclair and Froyo. This is how you retrain your battery.
1. Charge your battery to 100% (when it gets there, let it SIT there, your phone is NOT reporting correctly).
2. Reboot to Recovery and Advanced -> Wipe Battery Stats.
3. Reboot, and use your phone until it is VERY low (5-10%, you can let it die if you want).
4. Charge your phone back to 100%
5. (Optional) Power down, then power on phone. (Thanks goes to BrwnSuperman for this suggestion, give it a try!)
Your battery issues should be solved. This needs to be done every once in a while, especially when switching between different ROMs and OS versions.
User dalrym05 posted this alternate method for retraining the battery on page 4 as well, so I thought I would share it here in the OP. I'm posting this as a USE AT YOUR OWN RISK method, as I have not tested it, and am not quite sure what the *228 steps for it actually accomplish and have to do with retraining the OS battery reporting, so I'm leaving it quoted to dalrym05 for the time being.
dalrym05 said:
Here were my steps to better battery.
1.*228 option 1
2.*228 option 2
3. Run battery completely dead to 0%
4. Plug in and boot immediately into cwm
5. Wipe battery stats and dalvik cache
6. Reboot and let charge fully before unplugging
7. Completely discharge again and fully charge again.
After this you should notice a very nice increase in battery as I did. My battery life is back up to par with eclair.

NOTE: I did edit his post to make it a little more clear. I'm slightly anal retentive that way.
HybridByNature had an excellent suggestion on page 4. If people have good tips and tricks for maintaining good battery life, and they are easily reproducible, then I will gladly add them to the OP here. What works for you?
HybridByNature said:
This might also be a good place to add tips & tricks to extending battery life.
IE
-Close programs that you aren't using.
-Don't leave your camera or navigation running in the background.
-Turn off WiFi & GPS etc when you aren't using them.
-Don't run your screen at full brightness if you can help it.
-Figure out what uses more battery life than other things:
Pandora, internet browsing, downloading, camera/camcorder, Angry Birds etc.
If you are rooted, try and narrow it down to the best kernel/theme for your situation. I've found that I have better battery with a non-voodoo kernel but the performance increase is worth it so that's a trade-off that I make.
Let's hear from our readers: What is working for you?

Would not surprise me if this is all it is. I have turned my phone off at 5% for an hour and turned it back on without charging and then it showed 45%. I know when batteries are low letting them sit a little bit can help, but not that much.
It is just being reported inaccurately by the OS.

Yes, but not as a thread, it gets posted in everyone else's "Why does my battery life suck ass" threads, so I made this so maybe people would see it and try it before posting another useless question thread in Development.
Definitely works though. Did it yesterday. Good post. It has been posted in other threads ... but I think we all know people don't read through everything very often.

I have the battery charger and 3 batteries, I always run my battery low and leave it in the charger for a day.
I did this last night and it didn't work too well for me.
Also, when I go to wipe battery stats in the recovery, it doesn't tell me if it wiped or not, just goes back to the advanced menu.
And also, should I be concerned that when I cold boot into the recovery, it doesn't appear to be CWM? It says Android recovery...I know I have CWM recovery installed.

Wow same here..I just took mine off the charger bout 10 minutes ago and it's at 95% now. I guess I'm gonna let the battery run completely dead and charge it and see what happens.
I did something similar. I charged to 100% while it was on, removed from charger then powered off. When phone was off I plugged charger back in and waited til it was at 100% then unplugged again and powered on. Waited until phone was completely on then unplugged again and connected to charger. Waited til it was at 100% and while still plugged in at 100% booted into recovery and wiped battery stats. Then rebooted phone into OS and unplugged. I had tried this previously with DL09 and it helped a little. Last night I wanted to see how my battery would drain after doing this. With WiFi on and I got about 10 emails during the night, from 8:30pm to 6:00am I lost only 13%!!! Previously I would have lost from 35 to 40%. ymmv

If I go to Battery History and change the top dropdown to Partial Wake Usage, it says Android System at the top with a bar that's at least 75% full.

This is a proven technique, and it takes patience. Seeing the battery drop from 100% down to 95 or 96% after unplugging is normal behavior. I've done this already. Left my phone unplugged overnight and lost 1% battery. If you're too impatient to take the time to do this, that's your loss. You'll see the battery life "improve" over the course of a few days as the reporting gets more and more accurate.
Sent from my Fascinate using the XDA app
I agree with supplysidejesus. This is a standard practice and should be done with each major rom or kernel install. This leak hasn't been put long enough for most of us to know what our expected battery life will be yet. Give it a few days for your phones to adjust.

try disabling gps in the notifications, that worked for me, but once i turn gps on again, it will drive up to a high percentage.
I've been using my s3 for the past one week and my device shows 99% assoon as i remove my charger! i've tried changing the rom, erased my Battery stats, recalibated my battery using playstore apps. even though it shows 99%. please help! by battery life is worst!
All GS3's are like this only. The battery actually never charges to 100. Its purely cosmetic.
Please tell me you've actually tried searching for this before posting since there are literally dozens of threads and discussions revolving around it.
Physically it's very simple. If a battery is 100% full, it's as full as it can get. This is not true for everything but for most consumer-related stuff. (Airplane turbines, reactors and other industry-machines see it as a maximum value for long-time usage but can go quite a bit above)
If you unplug it, your phone starts draining battery since -surprise,surprise- it needs power. So the battery cannot stay at 100% if a (however tiny) part has been removed.
Phones that remain at 100% after unplugging for some time are lying to you to make them look better. And you don't want a manufacturer lying to you, do you?

That's perfectly ok. Relax Been discussed here already...
PS absolutely no need to calibrate the battery
This happens to me as well but don't fret over it.... Calibrations should be done regularly but not overly or it'll stress your battery more than necessary.
You do not calibrate your battery regular the year is 2012 not 1995 .
Battery auto calibrates itself use it ignore it .

I'm amazed how people can get nearly 2 days with medium usage. Do you have any apps installed? How many hours screen do you get?
It seems it's pot luck with battery life..
This is a topic I started on Xperia Support Forums: http :// talk . sonymobile . com/t5/Xperia-X10-mini-pro/Performance-Issues-of-Battery-BST-38-on-Xperia-X10-mini-pro-U20i/m-p/402537
My Battery BST-38 is discharged so fast that I cannot even tap OK button on "Battery Power Status 15%, 10%, 5%" messages.
I have managed to open Service → Service tests menu and applied Battery Test. After some hours spent on battery test:
Result
REDUCED CAPACITY
I have stock software and hardware. Only some apps installed from Android Market. Nothing flashed, nothing rooted, nothing hacked. Maybe some cracked apps (for trial, for sure :angel: )
Nothing modified.
And my battery died after 10 months. All I have been doing to my U20i is daily recharging for sure.
So, the question is:
How can I get my batterie's health, fitness, performance back?
Or you can recommend other things, you are the pro.
(PS: I'm living in Türkiye.)
Peace and love.
Just remember- never discharge device completly
Charge it with the wall-charger only, NOT through usb.
Make it charge for about 3.5 hours every time, even when it says it's full.
Recharge it when it's somewhere between 15 and 20 percent left.
If you don't see improvements this way, you may need a new battery.
I should say thanks to you.
Now I just need one more question to be answered:
When I am going to buy new battery, how should I prefer it to get best strength / stamina / durability / performance? What kind of battery should I choose in manufacturer , #value of mAh, #value of Wh, etc. categories?
Note: Stock U20i battery says

Sorry I couldn't understand what exactly you meant, so I'm giving lots of answers:
Test results are being saved as */LOG files on SDCard with date informations without any need to overwrite.
On the phone, no hardware (including battery and inner-case) or software is modified after factory.
I have tested ex and newer batteries and ex one took 1,5 - 2 hours to test but new one took more than 3,5 hours. Then I got the same "Reduced Capacity" results for the tests on each battery.

You can wipe the battery history using for example: THIS app.
It will completely erase everything android thinks it knows about your battery, resulting in it treating your battery like new. It may change the opinion android has of your battery and thus give you a more reliable estimate, instead of working with, (what may be), old or invalid data.

Thank you for the trick, sir. I will try it.
I would like to inform you about new battery:
Altough new battery failed at the test (Battery Test in Service menu), it does just fine without anything abnormal.
I fully recharged it 18 hours ago, and since that I'm using my U20i as a casual user, my battery's status is 48% now. (in 18 hours: with mobile data traffic on, texting for ~1 hour, calling for 20 minutes, web browsing for 30 minutes, background services off and brightness full.) I think that performance is just good but I have no idea battery failed at test (as you mentioned, maybe test results needs to be wiped) OR just maybe it has less mAh (930mAh) than stock one (970mAh).
So I will find out what causes this.
Now I have one new question: How should I use my battery? I will charge it when it reaches 20%~15%, while recharging I will try to use not it as possible as I can. Any more tips or tricks?

48% left after 18 hours with the usage you specified is not bad at all.
You can use it when it's charging, that's not a problem, but try to charge it through the wall-charger as much as possible, and not through usb.

The wall-charger will deliver more juice than the phone needs when you use it, so it's not really discharging, just charging slower. That said, if you don't need to it's better to just let it charge.
As far as battery health is concerned, just don't let it go below 10%, emptying it completely is not good for this type of battery. There's not much else to it.

Oh - I almost forgot to ask - What should I do about overcharging? I mean, what to worry about?
So last night i plugged in my z2 to my laptop and download the update 402 via sony pc companion. I left it overnight and this morning when it finished updated, i switched on the phone it was at 99%.
After a few mins i look back, it dropped to 74%!
Has anyone experiencing the same issue? is this normal? is this update bad for the battery?
anyway i did a factory reset, it was still new anyway so not much things on it yet.
ps, i did not lose my X-reality.Its still there
I feel the new Rom takes a bit time to settle.Give it a day or so and then try to troubleshoot.
Sent From My Sony Xperia Z2 D6502 White
Before the update, i got ~6.2 hours SOT per charge.
Now only 4-5 hours.
I'm vastly disappoint son.
Actually one of the things I noticed early on was the biggest battery consumption compared to .55 and .69! I have just remove the device from the charger and with a bit of use, then it goes to 97%!
This is really scaring me! In FW .55 and .69 was very time to see the percentage going down!
See what its like after a weeks use and the battery is properly calibrated.
I bet you will be seeing similar results to the earlier firmware

thanks guys for your input. Yeah i think its too early to tell on the battery consumption yet. I will observe it for a week or two and tell again
Most likely when you flash the update, the battery stats reset with other parameters, let it settle for few charges and see if it calibrates.
And check that your phone can enter Deep Sleep (CPU Spy from Play Store or similar). Could be that the update screwed that up.

It would be good to let my battery run out completely and then charge 100% or is not recommended to do this? I know that this type of technology can not do this, but only in this case!

Yesterday I was using the phone and noticed that when the battery reached 60% it took longer to get down the percentage! So I was using the device and the percentage reached 29%, so I put it to charge all night. This morning I noticed a significant improvement, so much that I am using lot and is still at 97%! What leads me to believe that what user said above is true!

It's always like that, any phones after install new ROM(custom or official), it will take couple cycles of recharge to settle down the battery.
Well after 2 days I would say that this firmware drains battery much faster I've gone back to previous firmware version and getting much better battery results so I'll stick with this for now I think
Hi everyone,
I am really helpless and do not know what to do anymore. My S9+ (EXYNOS) is draining battery overnight, in 6 and a half hours it drains 10%, even if always on displey is set to be turned of between 23h - 06h.
I am on the latest BTU firmware, I have tryied every tip and solution which I found on xda in order to get it better but it is still the same. I turned of almost all features like sync, location and also set all apps to be power saving.
If I use the phone a lot, I will get 4-5 maybe even 6 hours of SOT, but if I do not use it a lot, I will have 2-3 hours of SOT in total of 16 hours usage.
Any help or tips? I do not have any battery draining apps installed.
When I go to check in the battery stats I do not see anything suspicius, it says AOD 2 %, Device Idle 2%, Android OS 1%, Android System 1%, Screen 1%, Device is passive 1%.
Now I am trying it with a all black theme but still no improvement
Now I am thinking on going back to factory settings, because it seems that my battery was better (at last a little) before I tweaked and turned of many of the features.
Should I try factory reset, and if it does not help what is your proposal?
Another thing is that somethimes my phone gets hot without any reason, idle-ing or normal usage, that drains then the battery a lot. In situations like gaming etc it does not heat.
Did you try the app BetterBatteryStats? It works also with unrooted phones, if you can apply some adb commands with your PC. This app will give much more details about your battery consumption, including wakelocks.
Alternative would be GSAM Battery Monitor...its free, but not as detailed regarding wakelocks as far as i know.

No I did not try it, because on earlier phones I used it but did not know how to read it properly. I will install it now and post tomorrow the results so you can help me know what is going on.
Now I installed it but never used ABD and do not know hot to give the permission with it. In facts I used it maybe 5 years ago, now I will install it and try again, it is not that hard.

I think you should factory reset it. I had the same issue and now that I factory reset it and left most of the features as is (but I disabled bixby) it's been pretty good. Losing around 1-3% at night and at least 5 hours of SOT when I use it sparingly with around 24 hours off the charger. If I use it heavily I get around 8-almost 9 hours SOT for around 12 hours off the charger with around 15% consistently.

Thanks for the feedback. You gave me hope!
First of all I will try to discharge it once to 0% and take all juice out of the battery, maybe the system bugged because I always charge it as soon as I get as low as 40%.
If that does not help, then I will factory reset for sure. If it helped you I have hope that it will help me also.
I factory resetted few times. It seemed like it helped initially. But it actually did not.

I have factory reseted yesterday, and my batter life now is much better. Got 6 Hours SOT with 24 hours of total battery usage. In betterbatterystats I do not see anything anymore that drains it.
I need to mention that I have reinstalled everything manually, I did not wanted to import any backups just to be sure.

Actually I got better battery life after factory resetting but after few days it again became like before.Repeated it ,same outcome. so said it didn't help . Manual apps installations, not taking help from Samsung swtich did nothing.

Then I think that some of the apps you are installing is draining the battery. I am just very careful at what I install, and I monitor the battery behavior after every new app.

Do not have such app installed.
All of you uninstall Facebook and get a descent battery life.... Stop blaming Samsung... Most of the drain is due to the apps you use and the permissions you've granted to them....
Facebook only through Samsug browser. Facebook and messenger is a badly crafted app. The author should be humbly. Disable his activity and close him in jail. Do not deserve anything else. It will never be better
