This is max I was able to extract from stock battey,

Bit of music, WiFi here and there...5 times fully discharged, 5 times fully charged, 0.62 firmware, KRsH 3.0 kernel, SetCPU smartassV2 scaling from 100-1200Mhz...and decreased brightness to 20%

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dapcwiz:
You had 5 charge cycles prior to this one?

I've never gotten more than 22 hours out of a charge... what would you say is the biggest contributing factor? the KRsh 3.0 Kernel or the smartassv2 scaling on setCPU?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deyo238:
I think it was mostly due to new version of kernel. Old 2.0 version of kernel eated my battery like crazy.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ionutph:
Longest i have without recharging was 5d 16h 40m with 3h screen (brightness 50% max - variable) and 33min calls.

Stock battery, stock rom .62, stock kernel. Without usage I think 9 days are achievable.

What I do ? When I don't use the phone I disable data connection and put in 2g mode, then i hit Quick System Info PRO task killer widget , near my widgetsoid multi switches.

I have a discharge rate at about 0.45% per hour. (100:0.45=222hours :eek: )

Sa I think the 3G mode, Data traffic ON, and display with high brightness are the biggest battery eaters.

And I always keep auto-sync OFF. If I want to check my mails I want to refresh-it manually only when I need them.

ps. With my Deji battery, probably i could hit 10 days battery life. (with extreme low usage and brightness)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Polderon:
I think if you keep it full off, battery will last much much more... :p

Seriously, I think, here we are looking for high capacity batterys, not for low usage guide. Keeping it at low brightness will make use became blind (but we'll be happy cause our battery has still juice :))..

i'd like to ask something...

I've been googling around for a backupa ep500 battery, and found andida 1600mah and many others... but I noticed something strange...

original batt is labeled to be 4.2v and many ep500 batteries I found on internet are 3,7v ....

someone can explain me this?

EDIT

okok i was reading wrong line on battery's back, it is 3,7....

However I have a spare gold battery 2430Mah (bst38)

I think it is li-ion and not li-poly can this batt damage phone for this reason if i mod it to fit and test?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] thieuvn:
A chinese one!

Don't believe about the 2430mA, they only print it on the battery :-j
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Gx3:
that is not a problem if it is the same as the original one or less more I will feel ok with that...

that is a spare one I have... worst case I will drop it into a recycling bin :P

still struggling for having my mini back from service center... (touchscreen issue)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] semsemx:
Yes it fake :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] subbyhasan:
So Chinese batteries aren't actually that voltage really?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Nope, 2430 and 1200 mAh in the same size of battery, doesn't make sense.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jmmc:
anyone has tried it???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
This 2430mAh battery is fake.

Currently you can buy 1300mAh battery or other EP500 type extended battery, which is not fake. Then you would need another battery door, which most phones don't have yet.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] whalesplaho:
Help.. am using XMP!

am using mini pro but my battery doesnt last so much... if i should browse heavily on it, it wont last up 4-5hours!!! but music playing is ok. most times my battery drops without usage.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BlackArtsInc:
Yes.Battery life with internet/music/2G/Data OFF and some calls is no more than 24h.And from what you report,aftermarket batteries don't help,so we re stuck.

For now at least...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Yes, can be more than 24h.

I could get 40h out from my LWW with some internet/3G data usage.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BlackArtsInc:
I can get up to 36h.

That said,if you charge overnight then this translates to two 12h "day"s usage.Max.More likely 1,5 "days"! Day as in daytime...

About the last point. Mugen Power Batteries is a company, which produces higher capacity batteries in a bigger form, these are sold with a custom back door as the new battery is bigger.

I have read quite a lot of good feedback about Mugen batteries for another phones.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ssbnasa:
Is there any other option available other than stock batt un market ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ssbnasa:
Wtf !! :o

Hw u LWW guyzzz getting batt backup upto 30-40 hrs ??

I too have lww and I have to charge it twice a day with normal phone usage & 1-2 hrs of phone talk !!!!

Pls tell me....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
With my regular usage, I can get 1,5-2 days, but I reload it every night, just to be sure that next day I will be fully fine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] remloup:
Me too I reload it every night !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CoffeeCone:
So based on the posts I've seen throughout this thread, we only have a single viable alternative and that is the 1600mAh battery? I also tried opening the Mugen website but it seems to be down.

I'm looking to have greater capacities for my Xperia Active and what I use it normally for is just FM Radio (on my way to work), a few minutes to an hour of gaming when I get home (ShadowGun, Cut the Rope), internet (to check in to Foursquare, check email, etc), SMS.

With the above usage, I get around almost a day of battery power. I'm not entirely sure though because when at the office I tend to charge it while I'm working so that I'm sure it won't die on me while on my way home.

I don't have 3G connection or any data plan for that matter since I'm almost always around a wifi hotspot so I don't see a need for one.

Any tips to up the battery to at least 2 days of usage? As far as this thead goes, I have't read a solid feedback on the 1600mAh battery which I'm looking forward to purchasing.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ionutph:
Peaople, there are no such magic batteries that can last much longer than stock ones. Technicaly its imposible in the same size. There are battery that last longer than stock ones but with no big difference.

For my Mini I got a cheap chinese battery that lasted longer than original one in my high drain runtime test with 3d benchmark running in loop with a difference of 7%.

Maybe you should get rid of all stupid apps and widgets and disable data traffic when not using. My last recharge was after 6 days with light usage.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BlackArtsInc:
Without using the phone the stock battery could last up to 5 days.

So what? Stop posting this kind of info cos its totally irrelevant. :rolleyes:

Most people actually use their phones.Some more,some less than others.

That's the point of having a phone anyway. :)

So,to recap,no there s still no better-than-stock-real-world-alternative battery.

N.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ionutph:
"Without using the phone the stock battery could last up to" over 7 days in my phone because I try to optimize the power consumption.

I allready sugested a cheaper china battery that offered longer runtime in a high drain scenario than stock one. It also have free delivery.

Its the same battery from Deji I wrote long time ago. What more do you need ? Why people still ask about better batteries ? Alot of them has fantastic specifications, but are worse than stock one. The Deji battery is tested by me, with a exact procedure to maintain high acuracy between tests.

The store that is selling that battery has also an external charger If someone need to have 2 full batteries in shorter time.

We need test reports from others who have aftermarket batteries, but in a more precis and scientific tests. Afirmations like the "I think is lasting shorter" are no good, maybe other apps are running in beground, other light intensity for lightsensor and there are alot of variables when comparing battery capacities. The test sould be made after at least 10 full cycle charges.

About my battery, I can't say how will perform in time, but I will retest and I will post the results after more usage.

I can say that I have found a "better-than-stock-real-world-alternative battery".
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] CoffeeCone:

So i dont say the other batteries are better or not than the original. Im tested many of then on my lww and finaly i must say its not better.

The best way to save the power is really not a china battery.

Im using the original battery and have enough power for two days.

I bought this battery and have tested it for weeks now

GOLD 2430MAH HIGH CAPACITY <-- Search on ebay

My review:

* Its not 2400mah

* Looks good and seems well made

* Doesnt heat any more than the stock battery

* After 3 weeks usage and full charge cycles, real battery stabilized @ around 1600mah

Final Review

Its not as advertised but it beats the stock battery, i must warn tough that its very variable, i bought one for my girlfriend and hers is only marginally better than the stock battery, i guess quality control is lacking and its up to luck to get a decent one :s
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] blackstallion1234:
Hi!

I seem to have the same problem on my SE LWW. Replacing batteries helps very little to none at all! Battery backup seems to hover around 1 day (less than moderate usage) and about 2 days (standby) from 100% to 30%. Stock ROM/kernel or custom ROM/kernel,even with SetCPU, no combo gives me any better battery backup. Too bad, the disadvantage of a great phone is its battery! Haven't heard anybody going more than 1.5 days with moderate usage with the LWW!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] loCe45:
I easily get ~3days with moderate usage (battery from 100-15%) on my LWW running ICS (stock kernel, stock rom).

Btw. i've mentioned this in another similar thread, but check this out, it's really useful on longer car rides (with gps navigation) or longer train rides while listening walkman, browsing web etc., when your battery depletes fast/er.

It's not really 6000mAh, more like 4000+, but it can charge your phone's battery from 10-100% 3 full times, and 4th (up to ~75%).

I never liked the idea of replacing empty battery with the extra one... you then need to either buy a charger for that extra batter, or charge them while placed in your phone, which is extra hassle for me... Also, there were cases when cheap battery caught fire or even explode, so be extra careful on what you buy :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Gregerg:
If you don't want to gamble with DX items that may or may not live up to its advertised specs, there are battery packs sold by more well-known brands that do the same thing. Of course they can cost more but you won't have to play the battery lottery.

Sanyo/Panasonic makes one that sells for about $60-70 and delivers 5000mAh (model: KBC-L2B). Other name brand battery makers make similar items of varying capacities.

of cource if goes down fast if you'l put max power of CPU i have now 1.2 and i usin my phone about 2-3 days. Panic kernel + HASA MIUI ICS no problems. ALso tryed on 1.6 GHZ but phone eating battery too fast, but i does not find any boost to perfomance just eating battery... I bought this GOLD battery for my old I900 samsung. It works not more than stock. So stock in my opinion better one. If battery giving us double capacity it might look not the same like stock - much bigger.

I bought the another one, which looks like an credit card (1000mAh), and it gives me around 50% more battery, if i don't use data and another stuffs.

It costs me 25€ in Portugal, but gives me a great solution to have power everywhere on my mini pro! :)

good experience is good in terms of duration but the downside of it is that hot and when it reaches 67 degrees Celsius the phone is turned off ... you have to wait to cool and turn it on because at that temperature you off again ..

Ep 500 Gold 2430mAh

I just want to share my experience about Ep500 gold 2430mAh battery

The battery physical appearance is very good but their very major problems in performance such as

1)This battery never got 100% charged by whatever means i.e AC charging or USB charging

2)The temperature is very high and this makes the device to misbehave

3)The battery drains faster than is original 1200mAh which is a very big question because as it calming to be twice powerful than original one i.e 2430mAh

By everything about this product I personally don't recommend this to anyone
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
If you would have read previous posts, you would have seen, that it is actually a fake one, definitely not a 2430 mAh one.

How to charge 100% 2430mAh battery

Edit, as of October 3, I'd suggest holding off on the 3.1.6 Market update. Could be fishy. It's signed differently than Google does. Mine below are fine.

EDIT: The new market is cool and all, but I have noticed that if I have multiple google accounts, it switches back and forth... which is REALLY annoying. If you notice issues, go to menu > accounts and make sure your primary is selected. Other than this, it is great.

EDIT 2: there is now a 3.1.5 - the bug mentioned above still exists

DOWNLOAD LINK FOR 3.1.5

If you had 3.1.3, it may just auto-update for you.

---------- below is older information for 3.1.3 --------------

You can thank @MastaTM (XDA: Official_Master) for the new Market (3.1.3)

http://www.multiupload.com/41FQ6PQ3MS

The below is litterally pasted from androidpolice (again, they are on point). I bolded what is new.

Wow, Google is on a roll with the Android Market lately. Since the release of Market v3.0, a number of small updates have come to the Android Market recently, but this is by far the biggest yet. Google has added the long-awaited +1 functionality to the Android Market (which has been on the web version of the Market for quite some time), along with a few other goodies.

There's a brand-new settings menu, as well as click-to-read explanations of app permissions (not developer customizable, unfortunately).

There are also 2 brand-new Market icons to spruce things up a bit (within the Market itself - unfortunately, the app drawer icon is still the same).

For convenience's sake, the size in megabytes of each app, along with its latest update date, have been moved from the bottom of descriptions to the top of individual app pages, which is a very useful change in our book.

Moving on to the thumbnail navigator, Google added a long-overdue sliding transition - a nice touch that makes the Market feel more polished.

Oh, and did we mention you can now use an optional custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have - and really, it makes a lot of sense.

You'll need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.
