I just upgraded mine yesterday from 2.1 Eclair to 2.3.3 GB using SE's Update Service., and now the Battery Charging can't get past 87% Stuck and the Handset is so warm and the charging takes so long sometimes from around 80% it goes back to 60% meaning I can't do a Full Charge.

this is an Official Firmware Update, I haven't tried installing custom fw/roms as I've only bought this last week and I'm afraid I might void the warranty.
[XPERIA X10 General] Karlson2k:
No solutions.

GB just don't allow to kill apps.

Do you have any problems with 30 MB of free RAM??
[XPERIA X10 General] jokerzy:
Yes, everything seems laggy, unless if I kill apps frequently. By the way, I use Advanced Task Manager's widget, which allows tasks to be killed with a single touch. I do this almost all the time, and my phone seems to run a little more smoothly.

Android screwing around with the SD card is an issue from the dinosaur era...(had it with my X1 ported Android) so the best soltution I found at that time was the Panasonic SD Card formatter 2.0...once formatted with it...u will have no issues..(I didnt)

How come you people have 30 MB of ram.????

My phone always has 130+ free Ram.

I am on stock 2.3.3 with few apps installed and linked to SD.

I have no widgets on home screen except timescape and Gsearch.

Main thing is I havent logged in FB.

Unacceptable battery drain

Why is it that I see hardly any talk about the appalling battery life on this 2.3.3 update?

For me the battery is the worst it has been since day 1! The drain is enormous during any sort of use. Yesterday the phone was unplugged at 9:00 and was completely dead by 16:30, just 7.5 hours. I was left with no phone for the rest of the day and night....totally unacceptable!

I use the phone just the same as I did before and yet my battery life is now less than half what it was on 2.1.

I'm pretty sure we know that this is caused by the CPU running at 998MHz whenever the phone is anything but completely asleep so I can't understand why there isn't total outrage or any sort of acknowledgement from SE. The device is completely useless in a mobile capacity.
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Because the battery life is GREAT! You must have something set up wrong. Maybe sync or an app constantly using data, screen brightness, screen timeout, task killers, etc.
[XPERIA X10 General] 20545ZR16:
My SD card has been always ONE partition

gonna try to format it with the programs suggested (panasonic sd card formatter 2.0 or mini tool partition)and report back

thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] FormBee:
No outrage here.

8hrs = 10%

Is your phone achieving deep sleep?
[XPERIA X10 General] MikLSP:
Everything is setup just as I have always had on the X10i but the battery has never been such a disgrace.

Google sync is on as is facebook, screen is just over 50% brightness. WiFi is on but set to sleep when screen is off. No other email accounts, no regularly refreshing widgets etc.

Screen timeout is 2 min but essentially the screen is only on while I look at it. No task killer, I'm not using WM!

Battery usage shows Display at the top but it always has been.

CPU Spy shows:

998MHz 16%

768MHz 0%

576MHz 0%

384MHz 0%

254MHz 58%

Deep Sleep 24%

As you can see the phone has done nothing for the vast majority of the time, the problem is whenever I activate it to do anything the CPU maxes out and the battery drain is unsustainable!

Right now the battery is at 5% and showing 7h21m20s since unplugged!

I even removed EVERYTHING from my SD card and reflashed with PC Companion, although that was to try and address the constant lag, so it's not as though the thing is trying to sort through all my media or anything.
[XPERIA X10 General] FormBee:
What is using most? Is it cell?
[XPERIA X10 General] FormBee:
If its cell I recommend juice defender.
[XPERIA X10 General] MikLSP:
No it's display, same as it always has been.

EDIT: the phone has now powered off as the battery is empty....unbelievable
[XPERIA X10 General] FormBee:
I dont know what to tell you. I do not have that issue. Perhaps your battery has had it?
[XPERIA X10 General] sohaib17:
Hi!

I just want to ask that is there a way the DLNA app from ARC dump(latest update) can be ported to our X10. It would be a nice addition like xLoud and Bravia...

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] MikLSP:
My battery was just fine until the day I installed 2.3.3

The problem to me seems quite clear. Whenever I activate the phone the CPU goes crazy and drains the hell out of the battery, even if I just sit and look at the homescreen it runs at 998MHz the whole time the phone is active.

I have seen other people describe the same thing with their CPU but I cannot see how it can be this bad for some and not others!
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Did you restore data from an older Android version? That could be the problem.

Also, wipe battery stats in XRecovery and try calibrating the battery.
[XPERIA X10 General] MikLSP:
I did restore some app data via MyBackup Root actually though this was a few days after the update.

I don't have xRecovery atm, I was foolishly hoping that the SE firmware would be good enough to stick with! Lol!
[XPERIA X10 General] jokerzy:
Agreed. In 2.1, my phone could last for about two days with moderate gaming, surfing the net, etc. Now, I only get half. By the way, how do I check the CPU thing everyone's mentioning about?
[XPERIA X10 General] alpha_kenny_body:
I agree the stock gingerbread update has appalling battery life. The battery drain was so bad, within a space of 3 hours i was hovering around 20%! and when i attempt to charge the phone it would take AGES to charge to full capacity.

So what i did was replace the official ROM with WolfBreak's and boy, what difference does it make.

My phone has been left uncharged for 11h 37m and the battery is around 49% (it was around 42% when i left it). What I used was Wi-Fi for a good three hours on Friendcaster for facebook, Gochat, browsing the internet, and downloading new games on the market. then i spent another hour and a half playing the games i downloaded from the market (Aliens, Devil Ninja, Ninja Kaka and Fruit Ninja Space Buster 3D and Speed 3D!) and before all of that i was organizing my photos on JustPictures with 14 facebook accounts and some local pictures :D (also with Wi-Fi on before i turned it back on again)

(sorry for the long post but the tweaks in wolfbreaks ROM are great, and i just wanted to share that out)
[XPERIA X10 General] MikLSP:
@ Jokerzy

I use CPU Spy from the Market.

@ alpha_kenny_body

Yeah I am likely to go back to wolf's ROM myself, I just can't believe the stock update can be this bad!

I would like to get to the bottom of the excessive CPU activity though.

hi

i have flashed the 2.3.3 , and from that time Orientation sensor is not working.

any idea?

this is not working. I flash the stock 2.1, and test it, than report it. in browser, in any test programs, it is not working with 2.3.3 stock rom

edit:

i have just flashed 2.1 de cust , and orientation works like a charm after it,

now I flashed with seus 2.3.3, and Orientation(roll) is not working ! anyone?

than THIS IS A BUG ....
[XPERIA X10 General] viewdetails:
The automatic Screen Rotation works, when you switch on it in the Settings menu, I checked in the browser app. Try to flash the Nordic Generic 2.3.3 ROM, instead of buggy ARO cust version or whatever you tried.
[XPERIA X10 General] tiborprogmed:
thx

this is auto-enabled switch. after flash , this is auto-enabled

and, I have tried 2.3.3 cust UK, too, this is not working... :( with 2.3.3 ! :(
[XPERIA X10 General] jas0607:
Thanks for checking for me. Yeah it seems the new volume options have screwed with the volume controls. Strangely, the default 'Status Widget' still allows toggling between Volume/Vibrate/Silent, so I'll be using that from now on!
[XPERIA X10 General] viewdetails:
Disable all Task Managers you have, and system tweaks. In case your phone doesn't have hardware fault, it should work. ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] tiborprogmed:
I have stock settings, in 2.1, and in 2.3 too, after flash I go to the service menu (compass) and the "ROLL" is changing in 2.1, 2.3 not!!!!

i am very disappointed.

without the orientation, this phone is unusable

edit: ihave just saw, that :

"COMPASS SENSOR - not working on older kernel (w8 for new semc sources)" - than this is not just mine problem?

1. wait patiently.

2. search a CDA (for example UK Generic), which has got 2.3.3 update from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1186045, then root your phone easily with Flashtool, change your current CDA to that one, and use SEUS to upgrade.

3, use Flasthool, and flash a 2.3.3 ROM directly to your device. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746

That thread is about a CM7.1.0 custom ROM, not the stock one.
[XPERIA X10 General] twerg:
I have given up on GingerBread on my X10. There is really nothing new in it, the cpu speed is just unacceptable. I believe it is intentional, make it run at max speed all the time (screen on) makes phone feel as though it it capable of running GB. If feel X10 is not really up to the task... Its just too much strain with not much gain...

Also, I was under the impression that once GB came out, all the 2.2.x custom Roms out here would be fixed (eg, camera zoom etc) and made more final. I do not see that happening and every custom Rom I try these days have so many issues, mostly use MiUI or CM6/AOSp...

Im going back to 2.1 Eclair (KX10 with a custom kernel) where things work as they should and giving the phone to my partner. I have been trying to get it to work properly for her on MiUI or SE GB (I can live with a few glitches but she cant, nor do I want to put up with her complaints of such).

My custom Rom on my Desire HD is a work of art, it runs perfectly with out a glitch, wish X10 was like this...
[XPERIA X10 General] viewdetails:
When I heard first about this strange CPU speed thing, I installed CPU Spy from Market. After 2 days of normal usage (phone, sms, push mail, browsing), my CPU spent only 22% on 998MHz, 67% on 245 MHz, and rest one were the others.

Did you used the ARO customizated ROM or a prerooted one based on that?
[XPERIA X10 General] katak.bali:
stuck at 90%, and it takes about 8 hours. charge 5 hours filled only 60% ..

I check in * # * # 4636 # * # * battery status is still good.

This problem appeared after updates.
[XPERIA X10 General] viewdetails:
When I have charging problem with a device after flashing a new ROM, as the first solution, I used to reflash, and check again. You can try to root your phone (the method is here on the site), and wipe battery stats.
[XPERIA X10 General] twerg:
Was mostly on Trips GB 1.2.1 MiUI rom, was 90% of the time above 900mhz. Since then tried Ultima4 (a 2.2 rom) this got extremely hot, cpu seemed dodgy on that too.

It seems to me that after upgrading to 2.3.3 official (then a pre-rooted (DoomLoard I think) 2.3.3 rom my phone just has not been the same.

I have tried quite a few roms trying to find one that everything works but there is always something that bugs me. This did not happen before 2.3.3 came out. I was happy, just frustrated now...Too many late nights trying to get it right...
[XPERIA X10 General] tiborprogmed:
hi

and it means the stock kernel work WELL? in your case?

mine NOT.

only the 2.1 use the orientation well, the 2.3 not.
[XPERIA X10 General] viewdetails:
Yes, definitely, on my device the stock Generic Nordic 2.3.3 rotates the screen either in browser and other applicatons except photo app, but this one is a feature instead of bug I think. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] viewdetails:
I see, so those were cooked ROM-s, not the stock one... ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] twerg:
Yes, you are right. But the official GB SE rom was no good for me, too slow and lagging. I feel it was too much for the X10. So I try 'cooked roms' which I usually use but I seem to have more troubles now with the phone after the official GB SE rom than I did before having flashed that one.

As i said previously, SE Gb was meant to fix the custom roms, hasnt yet. Also the new Baseband 71 seems really bad for me here in Australia, very muffled call quality (I cant hear my partner speaking to me (she on X10, me landline).

I would have been happy with stock SE GB but it did not seem good to me, and have read others not liking it either, so hence my hunting for a great custom rom...

Thanks, I tried checking the CPU again by following the steps you listed, the time percentage at 998 MHz is 90++ %. This is horrible.

By the way, is it possible that this might have any long-term negative effects on our phones? Like, will the hardware fail faster? Stupid question I think.
[XPERIA X10 General] viewdetails:
Guys, are you using task killer, or something similar in the background?
[XPERIA X10 General] viewdetails:
APN-s can be found in Settings - Wireless - Mobile Networks - Access Points.

You should have something configured here to get data connection and MMS. Try to ask your provider for the settings.
[XPERIA X10 General] MikLSP:
Yes that is exactly what I have. The phone uses 998MHz every second that the device is active and regardless of what I do with it. It only slows down when it goes to sleep.

No, not even got anything like that installed.

There is a small topic on this on SE's facebook page Despite a distinct lack of knowledge on the SE side, they did take a guess with this:

"It might be an intentional decision to speed up the phone (at the expense of the battery performance)".

Slightly ironic considering how laggy it is also.
