Hello , i bought with a contract a xperia about 1 month ago , after 1 week i was disappointed :
1. i shutdown phone put him on charge at 11 pm at 5am i unplugin him and go to work , after 3-4 calls max 1 min each and aprox. 5 min chat on gtalk or yahoo my battery it is dead aprox. 5h-8h , in the backround i kept yahoo messenger on , gtalk on, autosync on (because of mail), and the first widget from market for battery.
2. unplug the phone after it is full charge at 10 pm , all things go on like up (gtalk,yahoo,etc) at 5am the phone has 52% battery (without touch all night)
3. confirmed not only me but all my friends seems like only when the screen it is on (need to watch clock example) in the rear speaker if i leasen somewhere is silence , i hear like the front speaker when u don`t hear the partner bzzzzz that sound u know someone it is listen but don`t want to speak something like that...
after this i go to Service Center and told that women the problems ... after 4 days the phone it is back and the phone it is perfect in terms on service center.
Go next day explain again to that women the problem and told me TURN OFF DATA CONNECTION ...ok turn off but the gmail ? how i supose to guess when i receveid mail ? i give back to service to a riguros test
Now only thing i need to now that stupid sound on the rear when the screen it is on , it is here someone who has ?? I think it is a short ciurcuit and the service center here it is the worst in all country i must fight to see if something it is wrong They don`t here nothing ...they are deaf .
Please it is here someone with that sound or it is only in my phone that way i now how to abort the situation
Tnx sry for my rusty english
Through, there can be plenty of reasons to that, but I'll give it a shot.
Try setting this option: http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/143576
i was try to set only gsm the same rezult aprox. my battery only 1-2 h longer but there it was a signal problem and he show the cell , idle consume on my it show only screen when idle 50% (night) , and when using it is reach max 92% and stay min 80% like i was playng games / stay on call 3g (in the manual talk time in 3g is 5h and some minutes) , from here i thinck it is short circuite the rear speaker with screen
Autosync, gTalk and Messenger are apps, that when running in background, do use a lot of battery.
About email syncing automatically. gMail can be synced manually, just open the app, click menu button and there is Refresh.
Also, if your phone has weak signal/no signal, it uses very much battery to get signal. My LWW has the same thing, on some days, screen uses less battery than antenna, because of bad 3G signal here, so I sometimes use only 2G.
i have H all time i`m in big city don`t have problem with signal ....sorry and i know that apps use battery its not my first android but this is the worst ... and need only to see if people have that sound when screen it is on ....the battery it is ok , signal ok,don`t play any games,don`t use browser (for the moment) , don`t need wifi bt gps etc. so it is off.
regular smartphone need to reach with gmail autsync and that messengers about 24h
tested on 6 phone !!!!

I willd do that , i don`t think will help me (formating , let on charge 24h when was discharge complet etc.) for the moment and will try to wipe battery stats when full discharge
there whas a problem off calibration on mine it is show from 1%-100% don`t have problem with shutdown forced

Callibration can fix battery drain problems, not only force shutdown ( it's not FORCE shutdown at all, OS thinks thats still 28%, in fact battery is empty)
Calibrating the battery by deleting the file doesn't help. This file is recreated every time battery is fully charged anyway and doesn't affect the battery.
Also, completely discharging is not needed, nowadays smartphones have batteries, that do not have memory effect(Li-Ion and Li-Po).

Sorry for mistakes, hope it's not hard to understand
Looks like i have smth like this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515020 but on my RAZR XT910
When i bought my RAZR, everything was ok it was on 2.3.5 droid, when 2.3.6 released everything still was perfect, but when i started trying to setup custom ROMs, this issue started... I tried to get back to 2.3.5 through RSD - its not helped. Now i'm on T-Mobile 4.0.4, everything is the same.
Fully charged phone, idling, some calls, it goes to 80%, then it jumps to 20% then to 5%(during this, voltage drops to 3.5, but then goes up to 4.1-4.0 as it must be!) . Phone works well, it took about 4 hours for battery drainer to drain this "5%".
I tried to fully charge\discharge without using phone, i tried any tutorials that will help to "calibrate" battery. Nothing helped.
I think it happens when Voltage drops to 3.5, OS thinks that its discharged, but when it goes back to 4.1, battery lvl is still low.
Maybe someone can help me with this issue...
Now i just added battery info widget, which shows me Voltage, so i can understand charge lvl... thats annoying
And i cant go to Motorola Service(No official service in Russia) and cant return my phone, it will took a lot of time... and i think this issue must be fixed..
have you tried like the battery calibration apps in the app market?
i tried a lot of apps from market, and nothing helped.
Try do this:
Manual Calibration method:
A) Charge your phone to 100% (and let the phone charge for half an hour after the 100%)
B) Install bootstrap recovery
C) Reboot your phone through the bootstrap recovery program
D) In recovery go to advanced>wipe battery stats>Yes, wipe battery stats
E) Reboot your phone
F) Do 2 or 3 full charge/discharge cycle (100% - 15% < X =< 0% )
If this won't do, flash the stock rom and send it to RMA.
Never let the phone to reach 0% and die, your battery will take damages 'cause of that.
i think bootstrap cant be installed on T-Mobile 4.0.4
If you're rooted, you can install this
I've used it on the T-Mobile Leak without problems. Flashed the overclock.zip with it (But no overclocking on the Leak, the script won't work)
The risk is the wipe. I'm not sure, if it messed up with your Phone

That is true, but I wonder if Android seriously lets you drop your cells to 0%... It still has enough capacity to shut itself down without interruption. So I guess there might be an internal protection against reaching "real 0% charge".
Still it is not too healthy for your battery

thanks! razr is rooted, so it works!
now i'm going to test what Syriochan said
@sekall: yeah it is possible that 1% (or maybe 5%) remains, but it is also true that no developers noticed something during kernel developing for any android device. So it may be true but it's better to not let it drop under 10% or 5%
@amletika: Not sure if calibration app do the same (never tried one, always used this method) but i've had 7 android phones so far and battery life was always at it's maximum after wipe and cycles. (I believe battery stats are kernel or data related so i don't know if this will work for you, consider that maybe hardware is at fault in this case)

Please post back after you do.
I have setup ics bootstrap. And made battery wipe immediately, when my phone was about 3.9V and was saying its 5% of battery. When i rebooted it was saying that this is 30%. Then i charged to 100% waited a little more and unplugged. Its about 24hours of using with normal load, and there was no battery lvl jumps!! Thank you guys!
P.s. i dont know what battery calibration apps does, I tried a lot of them, but only wipe through ics bootstrap recovery helped!

hi
is it required to battery caliberate after flashing new rom?
and when ever i reboot my system either battery jumps from 10% to 30 or more
or becomes less than 10%..
if i should then which app should i use?
any guidnace
plz
TY
No such thing. After you flash a new rom, charge the phone to 100%, turn it off, remove the battery for 30 seconds, replace the battery, turn phone on, enjoy.
Anyone selling you the whole calibration thing is selling you voodoo.
hi
thanks for your reply
plz suggest me best battery app with battery saving feature , suggestion on what we can do with remaining battery , expected full time charge , complete graph or battery usage history by apps?
paid or free , tell me best one
thank you
There's lots of battery apps on Google Play, there's no such thing as the best one, go have a look under the Tools section in Apps (you'll also find some under productivity). Stay away from apps like Juice Defender that claim to save you battery by doing things automatically which you can do yourself in two seconds, these have been proven time & again on XDA to use more juice than they save.
ivl try battery monitor
thank you
No probs ;-)

Wouldn't that procedure above be considered calibrating the battery? LOL. J/K. Couldn't resist .

actually it cannot. this way you only help the system in your phone recognize full capacity of battery (which is not even full because not one battery works at it's full capacity - but it's fullest you will get at this point of your battery life). when it's about calibrating - listen to MistahBungle - it's all voodoo. you cannot calibrate li-ion battery unless you kill it and then revive. by killing it I don't mean depleting it in your phone, because even when phone shows the battery is fully depleted it's really not - there is still some juice in it. you'd have to use e.g. special charger which can drawn juice out of battery and make it really empty. only then your battery is dead and useless. you may revive it by applying cca. 5V but actually it not always works. so you cannot calibrate your battery in home environment.
what you can do is "re-calibrating" so called fuel gauge (description under links given below) and you may also help your system recognize the real state of your battery charge. sometimes it happens that systems readings are wrong and battery is on 85% but system is reading it as 50 or 100%. to help it read battery chip correctly you do the thing MistahBungle so helpfully described. sometimes you even don't have to do it but wait 2-3 charging cycles and system will adjust it's reading itself. by charging cycles I mean charging like from 20-100%. why not from 0%? because even if it's not a real depletion state, li-ion batteries doesn't like the state of being discharged too much.

thank you
and is there any way to stop auto startups of apps?i have around 200apps and most of them i use around once a day or not even once
i use android assistant to manage startup but it does on boot and after some time if i check running apps most of apps will be there running
is there any app to block it running automatically? not just at startup ? full control like anything?
thank you
actually I cannot help with that. I don't use such a software and really don't believe in it. but, the fact is that I do not use so many apps. other fact is that surely there is some useful software that could help you with that task, i just do not use one and personally I'm not interested in it. I know that perhaps the best method is to freeze them with titanium but if you use these apps from time to time then it would become complicated and not worth the effort.
still I have few questions:
why would you like to stop them from working? do they drain your battery? if so then check your logs with bbs and find out which ones are draining, try to change their setting or get rid of them, or at least close only these ones. long time ago I was fighting with some apps that I do not use often and they start themselves from time to time. I didn't want to get rid of them, so before every night I was killing them one-by-one from applications menu (actually most of them didn't wake up until I ran them myself). finally, after many tests I got to the point that it doesn't make any difference. apps I was killing, even if running, didn't use any recourses, didn't produce wakelocks, they were just using some RAM. and if it is the reason of your concern then do not be worried - they may use as much RAM as they want - android will free RAM when it will need it.
now I do not kill any apps and by night I lose 0-2% of battery which is my only concern - what should we care more? CPU, RAM - let it work as long as it doesn't stop us from enjoying our phone and make a usage of it uncomfortable.
and if you're worried about packet data then you may limit it for each app using system menu in ICS.

Thanks dude. I also have the similar problem. I have spent months on it without any improvement. Now I'm quite frustrated and not optimistic on the solution you have provided towards my issue, but your decription gives me a lot of clue.
But my problem is even more tricky, I would like to share it here so see if anyone have met it before, or if I need to start a new thread to deal with it:
The problem can be generally decribed as below:
1. When the battery is fully charged, unplug and consume the juice until the level reach around 30%, then the phone is shut down automatically; after I plugin the power and restart the phone, the battery level is displayed as 0%;
2. After charging for a while from 0% , restart the phone and you will see the battery level directly goes back to 50%, but still with very low voltage;
3. Changing with a new battery won't solve the issue -- though the new battery itself may also have problem(not sure if it is genuine), but I don't think a fake battery and an old battery should behave almost the same, so I don't think it is the battery's problem; criticize if I'm wrong
4. Re-flashing a new rom won't solve the issue either. I have tried different CM9 nightlies and now I'm using CM10 nightlies, none of them is immune to the problem;
5. Clear the battery state won't solve the problem. It is hard to say whether it improves the situation at least a tiny bit. I mean it may work somehow, e.g. My phone used to be shut down at 50% battery level and now it can last to 36%. But it never totally solve the problem once and for all, so I still don't trust this caliberation thing may work.
I hope I have clearly stated my issue. I'm so at the end of my patience, this little bastard have been always torturing me You guys are the last I can count on I really hope I came here earlier so as not to have wasted so much time.
Hi everyone, I got a SGS3 for about 5 months, the week I got it I had to change the battery because it was'nt working properly, when I got this one whitch is 'original' made by samsung it says it's NFC support but NFC didn't work(Never root of flashed)!
Till now I haven't change it. Now after making a few time root, costum rom, stock, root, battery calibration(few times), costum rom, I noticed that the Battery is gooing FAT!! I had removed battery and let phone off.
What I am going to ask is: Is the problem that Battery was BAD or is it with root, flash, calibration, or anything else?
Now I am going to get a new battery
Nothing to do with flashing your phone mate.You just got a bad battery and a fat battery can also explode too so dont even think about keeping it as a backup.Ive heard some bad batteries even affect the performance of some phones so when you get the new go back into the phone and tick the NFC options and try to send a photo.Might work this time.

Duplicate one's never say they are duplicate. you have to buy them from samsung stores(if possible), because Samsung themselves don't sell duplicate.. Flashing, Rooting and calibrating, custom roms don't do anything with battery(except battery draining in some ROM's).. So buy original one..
Battery cell is under pressure due to charge/discharge gas build up, safety vent has either failed to operate or isn't fitted (fake battery). Dispose immediately for recycling and don't be tempted to charge it ever again.
A lithium fire in your home, or worse your pocket, will ruin your whole day.
Hi
Guys today i am writing this method here on XDA
It worked for me not sure if this will work for your device
Don't forget to give like:good:
Soo this method is very old (old is gold)
You will loose data make sure to backup data
IMP(TRIED ON STOCK ROM WITH STOCK RECOVERY ONLY)
Sooo let's begin
SO FIRST YOU NEED TO RESET DEVICE WIPE EVERY THING ( Keep battery atleast above than 50%)
Now Set-up device
IMP- Don't set up mi account (Ps- Don't use mi apps)
Now drain full battery without installing lots of crap
When you device will Power off keep it untouched for like 15-20 min
Now again turn on phone and drain that remaining battery also
Next step you have to charge phone without turning on(IMP) Till 100 don't interrupt in between and even of battery charges to 100% keep it for more 15-20 min(IMP)
Set up device and install required apps
And You will see that there is no battery drainage issue any more
Conclusion with this you are calibration your battery
If this helped you please Give thanks Feels good
Bye
Can anyone substantiate this?
