hello.I replaced my battery and I have the same problem (somehow) as before!to clarify..I dont know why I cant get the superb of 11 SOT when I bought it and running kitkat..now I am on lollipop and get max of 7:30 SOT max.
So my issue is that when battery goes down from 16% iy drains battery % muuuch faster!it happens again now even after replacing the battery,but not so quick compared to before..what can be the cause?thanks.
STAMINA Mode?
Do you enable stamina mode when the battery gets low (e.g. 15%)? I find that the battery drains faster when stamina mode is on (sounds funny-I know, since it should improve battery). Even for my Xperia XA, I seem to lose more battery with stamina and even more with ultra stamina. :silly: This is when the device is idle.
yes dude I have always stamina on.I miss the good days with kitkat that I had 11 hours SOT.Maybe I'll revent back to kitkat to test.but I don't think I will get these numbers again..don't know maybe is hardware issue cause tablet is 2+ years old...

Possibly a hardware issue but I doubt it. I've used an Xperia device running KK and can say that that was the last version (I think) that had the good old stamina mode which totally suppressed mobile data/wifi resulting in very good battery life, ever since lollipop they decided to use the built in android battery saver and based stamina mode around that which is next to useless, it doesn't actually suppress the network connection, only reduce brightness, sync and performance.
I find that only keeping the wifi on during use/charging to help a lot, settings->wifi-> it is somewhere there where you can change this.
You could always revert to KK if you find a ftf.
I've only had the tab for a week or two and am happy with the battery life vs performance, much better than the nexus 7 2013.
me too.I love it and have no complain about it.but this battery issue drives me crazy.I found my old flashable zip,maybe I try again kk thanks!

Where did you bought the battery? Maybe it's fake or not new. I'm on Android MM now and battery life is superb compared to lollipop. It's comparable to KK
My Xperia z3 compact tablet battery drains fast
Hi Everyone,
I got the xperia z3 compact tablet earlier this year and it was good for a few months before the battery started giving me issues. It practically drains out while still about 60% charged and when you plug it for charging it begins from 0% before a twinkle of an eye it's at 100%. I noticed lately the tablet goes off even when the battery is saying 80% charged. I've reached out to sony and the suggestion was that i format the tablet which i did but to no avail. Pls is there anything i can do?

Unfortunately it sounds like a hardware problem since a reset didn't fix it. You can try going into the service menu and see battery health there, maybe even do a test on it. To go into the service menu open the phone app and dial *#*#service#*#*
You spell service by using the corresponding number buttons.
Edit: realised it might not have a phone app, in that case download an app from the play store that helps you open the service menu. I don't own this tablet anymore so can't fully remember haha.

You sure? It should be under "Service tests" -> "Battery Health test" (you may have to scroll towards the bottom). For example on my Xperia Z5 it says "Good, no need to replace it." Other than that I don't know what else to say, because if a reset doesn't work it has to be a hardware issue. It may be useful to try an app which reads battery diagnostics.

Hi guys, this is not an usual battery drain problem. I am more or less an advanced user of android but I´m writing here because I tried all my ideas and none of then worked.
I have 2 Neo V, stock. One day one of them started to have battery drain. Im talking about 6-7%/hour with no usage, the other one is around 1-2%. So with any use my phone don´t last more than 14h.
I started to check the usual(wifi policy, services running..), and don´t found anything, I switched the batteries between both to see if that was the problem but drain was still in the same phone.
I rooted the phone, tried BetterBatteryStats and CPUspy and all is OK, most of the time DeepSleeep etc.
After all I unlocked the bootloader with the S1tool testpoint etc and flashed some Cyanogen 9 rom + kernel, and the problem still persists.
I think there is nothing I can do and my phone is useless because I suppose I don't have warranty anymore.
Any ideas about what could be? Even if its hardware, what kind of hardware problem can make this high battery drain if the CPU is not working ?
Thx in advance
edit: In HTC we can also flash different RIL´s (radio interface layer) to improve signal db, avoid high battery consumes etc. There is something similar in NEO V? Because I didn´t find anything.
There are a couple things you can do:
1) Did you check that you had mobile signal all the time??, because losing mobile signal is THE biggest battery drain possible
2) Post some BetterBatteryStats screenshots so we can see what's happening under the hood
3) Try a different ROM/Kernel combination, that sometimes helps
And no, there's no RIL flashing here, just different ROMs/Kernel/Baseband combinations
I HAD the same problem
Even I faced a similar problem on my Neo V after getting FXP CM9. FXP 122 was fine. But FXP 123 and 124 drained the battery very badly(No considerable Deep Sleep in CM 9). So I switched to AOSP Polish blood. Battery life was excellent but it lacked customization, so I switched to AOKP v38+ AOSP kernel. Superb ROM but again not so good on battery (but better than CM 9). Yesterday I flashed the FXP 125 kernel. More than 5-6 hrs of WiFi, 15-20 calls and texting and some instagram and I still have 20%. I'm charging my phone now!!
I´ve uploaded some screens of bbs, cpuspy and batterydrain with wifi on and after switching it off.
Hope it reveals something, what really annoy me is the deep sleep activated most of the time, so I don´t really know what to search.
Just as I thought, what's happening to you is what happened to me a year ago and I thought changing phones would help.
Your problem is basically, bad signal, as you can see in screens 4,5 and 7,8 "No Data Connection" and "No or Unknown Signal" are preventing your phone from going into Deep Sleep, the problem comes from bad 3G signal (or just bad network signal if you don't have 3G) and that is known to basically eat up all your battery.
How is the network signal where you are???, because it looks like it's realllllyyyyy bad.

Are you sure? Take a better look.
Or at least deep sleep graph. And those graphs "No Data Connection" and "No or Unknown Signal", are also ok(ven though the name is confusing a bit), I have the same.
I'm not COMPLETELY sure but this is exactly what happened to me a year ago with a Samsung Galaxy Mini, also if you look at graphs 4 and 7 Deep Sleep doesn't have as much time as the data and signal bars, to me that seems like those two are keeping the phone in wakelock state more than it is spending on Deep Sleep.
I´ve been experiencing this problem for weeks. About signal I tried everything because:
- Phone worked perfect with SIM and all bars (I live in the downtown of a big city)
- When the problem started to happen I switched to another phone and this one was working without SIMcard so there was no signal at all.
- Some days ago I used another SIM which also have all bars.
I Don´t think there is a problem of the signal . Also in my other phone, and as you can see, Deep sleep is working fine.
I reread your first post and the only hardware problem that I could think of is a faulty battery, did you use to leave it charging all night??, because that tends to burn the battery and it does hold a lot less charge.
According to what I've read, everything seems to be fine software side, my only idea would be that you reflashed stock ROM and check if the problem persists, reflash but don't restore any data, the problem could be a misbehaving app.
I have 2 Neo V (my father´s and mine) I switched batteries, and the problem persist in the same telephone. Also both of them have less than 2 months, so batteries are new.
Also revised the voltage in the CPU and it is alright.
Well, the only thing left to check (IMHO) is a misbehaving app or service, maybe check for task killers or battery savers in the "broken" phone, those are known to eat up the battery like it's ice cream!!
I believe I have the same problem. I can't remeber when it started since I tried lots of roms,
but I flashed latest ICS from pccompanion with no other tweaks for some days and it
continued the same.
I also thought about bad signal, but at night in flight mode it also spent 40% of the battery.
With a good kernel, undervolting, 2G... I can get to 15% 20% at night.
I've also switched batteries with other neo's and no difference.
Phone is 5 months old.
Not sure if it might come from the rooting process. If I understand right, the 0% issue
that some were having was more of hardware issue (or I'm completely wrong?) Then maybe
there is also something related?

0% was a software related error (flashing GB 2.3.3 after having 2.3.4 broke the battery gauge firmware), however that problem doesn't exist on ICS, I find it reallt strange that both your phones have that problem, I've had my Neo for 8 months and the most battery I've lost overnight has been 10% (with CM9 and really bad signal).
Maybe the best thing you guys can do is send your phone to service.
I have a similar problem with my mt15:
when I buy my phone battery was ok. about two days with intensive social use, no gaming.
5 months later, battery drain begins: deep sleep and 8% per hour , airplane mode 8% per hour
tried almost every popular rom in development forum ICS stock, codename, tweaked, cm7.2, cm9, jjhybrid, KA, ...
tried every popular kernel: stock gb, stock ics, alliance, suave, super, nightelf, cm kernels...
battery drain happens while phone ON, happens with airplane mode, AND happens with PHONE TURNED OFF.
I thinked about battery fault. replaced my battery with a new genuine one. Same results.
If I remove the battery from phone, IT does not drain. 24h later battery is still 100%
So my neo has a hardware problem I think. And there are many people with same problem. look for "neo battery drain while off"
Neo is a buggy phone. you can be lucky, or not. but many people has these issues or 0%batt.
I give up!
After sony abandoned x10 mini pro (random reboots, eclair), I had given another chance to sony with neo. I like sony designs, but Im really tired.
sorry about my creepy english
Try freezing "Calendar" with Titanium Backup and see if battery lasts longer. It helped for me.

about battery drain when phone is off
its not consuming your battery while its off
when you are turning the phone on
cpu usage will be on 100% to run all necessary sevices and apps and most use goes to get signal
that's normal
i suppose its aroumd 3-5% of battery consume
im not gonna be at the same side with you
actually neo is a wonderful phone
i beated the score of sensation xe in antutu benchmark with it
just google it around the internet
there will be some fix mate..
Neo is not buggy at all maybe yours but not mine
this might work for you
i just found it
1-flash build 42 official rom on your device
2-root the rom (there are plenty of ways around internet)
3-flash this kernel via flashtool forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=780407&d=1321113977
4-now turn on the phone its gonna show 85% of battery
5-install this forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=897721&d=1329003275
6-plug the charger into your phone
7-from the menu of app select start full charge
its gonna take 3-3:30 to be full
may be you've seen it around web
i translated it from a persian forum
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU
In my opinion, a phone broken by a software update/downgrade is buggy.
About battery draining while off, not all neo have this issue, but mine is not the only one.
On the other hand, about power consumption while booting, if i remove battery while off, wait some hours, and replace, after boot battery is 100%
Sent from my JJ's Hybrid MT15i
I had this problem too, even when the mobile was off, the battery was drained...
I sent my phone to after sales service and now it's normal drain 2 - 3% per hour when idle. (I was on stock rom and kernel, never changed).
There is maybe a bad hardware series
Hello! I bought this phone last month. Since I got it, I've never experienced any problem with it. For four days, I noticed that the battery drains very quickly, without any logical explanation for this. The data connection is turned off, Wi-Fi is turned off. Last evening, I charge it to 100%. This morning,I found it turned off, with 0% battery. What solutions do you have to solve this problem? Have you encountered this problem?

Can you please provide some more details on this?
I.E. What is it plugged into to charge? Laptop, Desktop, AC, etc etc.
- I ask this because I had a phone that would actually consume more power than a USB port could put out. when turning off the laptop, it actually allowed a back drain for some reason, and the next morning the device was dead. (Not this phone)
Also, what applications are running? Any?
Finally, you can try to retrain your battery... Wiping stats does not work, ever. So despite what anyone tells you, don't do it. You're just wasting time. SOURCE
So, how do you retrain your battery? Let it die completely. Then plug it in to charge. Don't use it while it's charging if you can help it. DO NOT remove it from the charger until it's at 100%. Once this is done, use it til it dies on it's own. Then yet again, charge it fully and then go back to your normal use.
In some cases, these batteries can go bad, for various reasons. A quick test, but is not always trustworthy is to spin your battery on either side. If it makes more than 2 full rotations, it's swelling and going out. Replace it.
The best alternative is to take it to a battery shop, and let them put it on a Cadex machine. (Pronounced Kay-Dex) ... This machine will charge and discharge the battery several times over a few hours and truly test the current life -vs- the life it should be. Anything rated less than 80% remaining life should be replaced.
SOURCE: I work here
I charge it only from power outlet, with stock charger.

6 hours 40 minutes from 100% to 10%, and the phone in stand by! Cell standby - 45%, Phone idle - 48%, Screen - 7%
And all this after a hard reset and retrain battery! The battery is almost new (aprox 1 month)!
I want it to make a screen shot of battery drain, but I have no clue how to do that on LG L9...

I attached a screenshot. Yesterday I changed the battery. Same problem! I take it this screenshot this morning, after I fully charged the phone ... Same problem, a new battery.
Can you please tell us what applications you have running in the background?
Also deactivate google now.(or the google services in google maps). download and install GSam Battery Monitor and after a cycle tell us what applications are eating your battery the most. It's clear that you either use yout phone(screen on time) allot or there is/are some applications that prevent your phone from going to sleep.
I use battery widget reborn and it shows me wneh the phone woke up,when the phone had the screen on,wi-fi on,gps on. Try it as well.
I also had battery issues when on JB. I downgraded back to ics. It's much more reliable when it comes to battery life. And the performance is about the same.
I don't have any app installed. After i replace the battery, i made a hard reset and I did not installed any app. I will install cpuspy and betterbatterystats for more results. I will back tomorrow. Until than, maybe you can provide me more advices. It can be from a damage sim card?

I removed the sim card, but in flight mode is the same problem... The last solution is to change the rom with a custom one. Any recomandation?
It's not that. Not the signal. It's the firmware. JB has these problems. In ICS Display is the major consumer followed by Phone Idle and Cell Standby.
I also had these problems in JB and reverted back to ICS .
I would advise you to install CM 10.1 on the phone. The battery life is better than stock. I get around 12-16 hours normally. The latest RC4 has fixed almost all the bugs present in older CM 10.1 variations. Give it a try.
I will root the phone and I will give a try with CM 10.1 or I revert to 4.0.4. If all this will be for nothing, I will sell the phone!

On ICS you will get great battery life Telling from my experience as i have reverted back to ICS after trying JB and CM 10.1( both have very poor battery life ) . So instead of wasting time just flash ICS and forget about battery issue :good:
Where can I find a tutorial to revert to ICS?
Same question. Can some one please give a step by step guide on how to revert to ics for l9
Sent from my LG-P765 using Tapatalk 2
Use the offline flash..
I also reverted to ICS and the battery drain keeps like a countdown
I have the p769, and I offline flashed up to V20D (and rooted). Removed some tmobile bloat, and I have pretty decent battery life. I guess I'm lucky.

Hi,
I feel that my battery is going bad after about 8 months of usage. I'm not sure if i still have the warranty (it was bought in different country).
I changed to fully stock rom but it's the same.
It get's fully drained in about 8-10h. Light usage. Even with all the stamina mode/low brightness etc...
The worst thing is that when it's down to about 30% or less, it starts acting up. The % would drop to 0% and the phone would turn off, then after i would turn on the phone again, i would see 70%, then 22%, then 30% again, something like that. After that it might "hold" and work for a few more hours or it might just keep on turning itself OFF.
What the hell is wrong with it...?

Post bat stats along with CPU Spu Plus free(check enable charger events at settings) and Wakelock Detector (check the statistics since unplug in settings) screenshots and we'll see if it's the battery or something else.

For Less battery, go for Custom ROMs
I don't find this kind of drain now.. I felt it in my previous ICS. Now am in Enigma 6.1. This ROM has some mod, which will makes the phone enter in to deep sleep mode after 5 minutes. This makes it more battery friendly....
MoonBreaker v3.5 also a good choice.
sorry guys, i forgot to post my results, i will try to get that info by tomorrow
Anyway, i found this on ebay and i'm thinking on giving it a try. Do you recommend i buy somewhere else? Is there a more quality product out there?
I also found a dissasembly video on youtube how to get to the battery and it doesn't seem that hard + the battery on ebay comes with all the needed screws which is nice.
I have tried 5+ roms and none of them changed anything.
But something troubles me...i spoke with a guy from the Sony repair shop and he says that it's not necessarily the battery, it might also be a problem with the motherboard.
I do not have the warranty anymore so motherboard would be the worst option. Phone works normally though...
I hope some results from the mentioned apps might shed some light on this.
HI
Why dont you try DU Battery App , it will help you to charge it fully. What i observed is that even though the battery status will show as 100 % but when you check Setting --> About phone --> Status --> Battery status it will still be showing charging & if i keep it plugged in for another hour or so it turns to battery status --> Full. So using this App DU Battery you will be able to actually fully charge the battery . Also if you try a custom rom with custom kernel like nemesis 6.3 you will be able to change the cpu govorner settings and can save more battery.
thanks, i'll check it out
i have locked BL so no possibility for custom kernel

yes. it happens to me too.. also my battery takes forever to charge.. 15 mins = 2 % . but when it is turned off, it seems like any other phone.. contacted sony and all they said was to try the software repair, which i am tempted to do.. my youtube causes the whole phone to crash too every now and then.

It does charge slow. I guess it charged from 14 to 78% in about 2.5 hours. My lg g flex charge in like 2 or 2.5 hours max and it had a 3500 mah battery. If we use a high amphere charger, it might mess with the phone's battery life. Other than the lag on low battery, I haven't had much issues aside from when the phone crashed 2 or 3 times when watching an hd video and then I had to manually switch it off and turn it back on.

Just did the sony repair as advised from sony support. The battery seems to be charging faster but my lg g4 still chargers faster as well. Hopefully some kinks were fixed as well, though i reserve my optimism since the software is basically the same.

After repairing, does your phone still slow down when the battery is low or has that been fixed as well? And did the repair delete all your phone's data?

Hi, used my phone for 2 days without charged. I decided to turn it off while charging since i noticed it was still faster to 100%. With regards to performance, I did not notice any considerable lag or heating, though the camera still had some lag and stuttering. The repair is basically a wipe of everything and reinstall. Sony said it was different to a factory reset as it like a "clean" wipe. Not sure what they meant there but so far im happier with the phone now. Still hoping that Sony releases a new update to address the slight stuttering, unsatisfying battery charging speeds and the laggy camera interface.

Hi ive also repaired my phone using PC companion and restored my data and backup. I definitely feel I feel less internal storage space available now about 2gb is missing. do u have any idea why this happened? In storage, it says android system has 8.8GB and I feel previously this was not so much.

im not too sure about yours, but mine is showing 4.95gb of Android system. try transferring some of your system apps to the external sd card if u have one.
Hi guys. My current build is 32.2.A.0.305. Since this or the previous software update I have an issue with charging my phone. Every 2-3 charges (which roughly take about 2 hours) it forces me to charge my phone for about 8 hours. Now since I'm travelling a lot it tends to be an issue since I use my phone heavily. In a recent software update I was prompt with a new feature, which was to save the battery life if it is switched on, but the power drain drawback would be higher. Unfortunately I agreed and I completely forgot where the option was. Could anyone guide me to it? Would be most obliged.

Yes, but unfortunately there are only 3 sections. Not optimised, apps, and all other. I cannot find a shutdown option of this feature here.

OK I've got it finally. It's in Settings -> About phone -> Status -> Battery optimization. Never would have thought about it being there. Problem solved.
