Well, something weird happened this weekend... I installed an app called Tiny Flashlight + LED... nice little app and useful... problem is, after playing with it a little the phone didn't go to sleep mode by itself and the battery was draining really fast... almost empty in a few hours... I turned off the phone, turned it back on, plugged in the charger, unplugged when it was charged and then kinda forgot about it over the weekend... phone usually stays no wi fi, no data, no sync and WDCMA only... quiet weekend, no more than a few calls (maybe 30 minutes total call time)... and the battery lasted for 5 days, I took the screenshots this morning... I turned off the phone again today, turned it back on, charged it... and I'm back to the usual 1% per hour drain in stand by... and now I'm like whaaat???
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] redragon95:
So I'm getting like 6-8 hours with moderate usage(some gaming, 15-30 mins of youtube, some browsing, data on at all times on EDGE, at least 2 hrs of music). I get 9 hrs at most but thats like 2 days out of 20. What I need is at least 12 hrs with usage like this if its even possible, and I think somethings keeping my phone awake more than its supposed to. I just turned off most sync accounts except e-mail which syncs every 30 minutes. Does twitter&facebook keep sending notifications even if I turn off sync?

Any suggestions on what I should disable/do, by looking at my graph and processes?

Now getting 39 hours!

Hi guys, just tested my LT26i after freezing "sonyericsson.android.wakeup" with Titanium, and turning off, facebook updates/syncro (inside facebook app), got 39 hours after full charged. I've been using Youtube, Walkman and playing Portals and Prince of Persia eventually, of course using 2G.

Ah, I've been using Juice Defender Ultimate (but I'm not sure if this thing works).

CPU use

I had also a little battery problem. (2 days max). But i found out that the "system" constantly used 30 to 60% of my CPU!!. and it wont go under the 1Ghz... I downloaded a little app sow i could see what was happening in te back of the Android system. For my device is was the proces "/system/bin/debuggerd" That constantly eat 30% of my CPU.. I killed the proces and my CPU usage was normal again :victory:

The process appears automatically in the list, but now with 0% CPU usage :good:

The CPU goes back to 138Mhz :D and now i have 4 days battery life :victory: (with normal use).

Good luck,

Geek2208.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deniz.S:
Which app did you use to find out? and how did you kill the process?

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Geek2208:
I have used the app. System Tuner from 3C. In the app is a task manager and from there you can see all the processes and sevices in the background by the name and system pad :good:. Its easy to see which process uses a lot of CPU. And there is a kill switch :D

Battery drain over night

So far I was satisfied with the battery. Could have been better but for me it was enough.

But this morning I was totally shocked. From yesterday evening (battery was at 53%) until this morning it lost all the 53% and was shut down. The battery was ar zero. Even when I put it on the charger it didn`t start. After it was at 2% battery I was able to start it. The only thing that was running over night was Wifi. Any clues?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mixters:
So i did a little test, had the brightness at 30% at just kept the screen on for as long as possible.

6 hours of screen time.. but realistically when using the phone i've only managed to get 4hours.

Frozen many apps using Titanium Backup.

Facebook notifications enabled.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Trent2528:
I've had pretty decent battery consumption since I got this phone. The only time It'll drain alot is if I leave the wifi/3g on or I'm playing games, so I try to reduce that kind of load while I'm out, and play games and stuff while I'm home so It can charge.

Also using Juice Defender which automatically turns off 3g and wifi when I'm not using it.

having been using xperia s for more than half year, the battery performance is ok, battery can sustain more than 9hrs if I message sometimes and listen music, however when playing games the battery goes die very quick

After flashing fxp146 on CM9 three days ago, first two of which was average, I get this battery life. Only about 2 and a half hours of screen on time, though it was at 2hrs on 50% battery at one stage. Also was odd last night I did a reboot and gained 5% battery :what: my guess is an incorrect reading prior to reboot.

Try disabling/freezing/stopping/uninstalling the "Illumination bar notification" app. That app might be small and very functional but I found out that it was causing too many CPU wakelocks. It was the one that was eating up the battery and causing CPU to have wake events all the time.

I uninstalled it and the phone now goes into deep sleep and the battery life is almost 60hrs+ with medium use on CM10.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dr Goodvibes:
I have my Sony XPERIA S running 6.1.A.2.55 and I must say I'm impressed by the 'sleep' time as it appears pretty good. Over an 8 hour period of no use with WiFi and mobile data off my battery dropped by approx 6%.

During that sleep period(8hrs) my CPU was idling at 1% with little peaks of 2%.

As I've only had the phone a couple of days it's a bit hard to get over all figures as the battery is still 'learning'.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lordoftheriffs:
My mobile data was not on the whole time, I just have 3G only mode enabled. I did not froze any apps, as I found out that stock sony apps don't contribute much to battery drain, maybe 3-4 hours of uptime over 2 days. I also found out that 3g only mode has little difference compared to 2g only mode. I don't know if an updated kernel is necessary for battery life as phone had temporary freezes.

I got my XS a few days ago, and i have a few Q.

First i want to ask about battery life, I got 1D20hH on 1 charge, and i saw that about 50% of battery has gone to the "sustav android(this is in croatian, it sould mean android sistem)", my screen was on for about 3h, on 0-50% brightness, and it consumed 18% of batery, other usage was "Stanje mirovanja(Stand by), and "stanje čekanja čelije"(stand by cell)" about 20% for them. I want to ask is that normal, taht some app in "sustav android" consume 50%, any tips how to reduce that if it's possible. I'll post ss tah you can see this.

Other Q is, a want to know somthing about root-ing and those custom room-s, are they helpfull(where can i find some tutorials how to do it), which of them is best, do they save battery etc....

And last about free ram, i have around 20omb, 25-+mb free, is that normal, cause it sould have 1gb, what uses so much of it? Do coustom rooms help for this, will have more ram ih i put then on my cell.

Sorry for so long post, but this is my 1st smartphone, and sorry for some mistakes in English.

It is theoretically proved that free ram is wasted ram in android but in daily usage i have found that free ram is essential for multitasking, gaming and other daily usage apps...without it the phone seems to slow down ,gets heated up quickly ,sometimes the touch don't work...

It really works, it let your phone really sleep.

You have different profiles and also you can make one.

Like wake each 30, 60 minutes for 1 minute and sleep again.

There is also an widget so you can easily switch it on/off.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wynradaure:
This app doesn't work for me. And also, I think that this app sometimes fools the user into thinking that there is no battery consumption when you just base your battery percentage in the data given by the application. When the application is turned on, sometimes the battery percentage remains constant even when you play your phone for a few minutes. But, the truth is, when you look to the settings then battery, you will know the true battery percentage of your phone.

Is it just me or this app tricks us a little? Please consider cheking if the battery percentage of the app is the same as the one in the settings. Sometimes it is correct but sometimes it is wrong. Feedback please:)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sunlight10f:
I for one am almost sure the stock rom battery graphs are borked/report false info, the battery saver program works as it should, turns off data/wifi to turn it on for a specified period of time to sync stuff. One can use a tasker or some such automating programs to get the same results, the mentioned program just makes it easier to accomplish.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wynradaure:
yeah. me too. i tested this app for a day then uninstalled it the other day.

i am not talking about the stock rom battery graphs.but, i am positive that the stock rom battery percentage is pretty accurate. The app said that it makes the phone go to deep sleep. But still, there is a huge battery consumption. And, seeing the battery graph with the phone being awake most of the time, then i can conclude that the phone does not go to deep sleep as what the application is supposed to do.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sunlight10f:
% might be accurate (and probably is) but the graphs and detailed view still feels off. From what I've read there is no drastic battery backup increase one might think there would be when switching to CM 9 or 10, the graphs/detailed views are very different however.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Efe64:
The battery percentage with the app is buggy.

I dont know if its going to deepsleep but all the other things like no connection etc. worked for me.

i dont get it

you all get smartphones. phones capable of doing loads of things that feature phones cant, and complain they use up more power

its like having two cars. a sports car and a runaround

they both use the same type of petrol. but obvously the sports cars performance makes the petrol run out faster, you cant complain because you made the choice to buy flashy powerful devices

ut you guys are turning off services in order to make these phones last long but also making there purpose redundant. you essentially wasted money on a smartphone and remedied the battery issue by making them into dumbphones

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
There is almost no difference between 10% and 50% brightness. Why even put it to 10%??

With 50% it gives 4h to 4:30h of browsing and this is almost the same as nexus 4. 5h of video is also the same as nexus 4. And I don't understand why don't use camera and music??

I have juicedefender plus for syncing mails and other stuff and battery lasts more than 15h with 3+h screen on time. And I think that JB will bring us even better battery life.

in 2 hours difference with 15% and 50% brightness is 3%, only screen on with mobile internet, wi-fi and nfc on.

So, 8 hours of screen on time and you would get to 16% on 15%brightness and down to 4% on 50%brightness.

I'll post browser tests with 15 and 50% brightness tomorrow, because I can't find them..
