If you don't believe it look here:

They do the certification for official releases, a step those private makers of "nightly ROMs" don't have to take, wait, and pay for.

I have this phone for a week now and I must say that in the beginning I was not sure about the battery life....

Got 8/9 hours tops. But it got better over a few charges.

And now after a charge I get little over a day (1 day and 5 hours and still 19% left).

So in my case it got better :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Efe64:

Nice to hear!

Same to me here 2. It looks like its getting better?

Dont care, have a Sony ^^
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eugenius8:
Ok first charge lasted 30 hrs but I left it on flight mode half the time and tested it on a few things but not for very long, after 2nd charge,

it doesnt look good lol, i left it for 7.5 hrs on power save mode and only having the network signal on, it went from 99% to 92% which wasnt bad, then i played angry birds for 10 mins, it went down by 7% :S, then i switched on wi-fi, surfed the net for a few mins then i streamed a whole game of footy, shown by that massive steep drop :S went on youtube for half hour or so then ran quadrant..down to 2%, all the time ive been using it its been on 50% brightness, which clearly shows on the pics that this was the major battery drainer, but still i havent even playing with it for 4 hrs and its already down to 2%, maybe something wrong with the battery or since im an android noob im clearly doing soemthing wrong lol, anyone got any tips to reduce battery life? anyways im gona charge it now for the 3rd time, see if it improves..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
As everybody says here, give it some time.

But more I read more I'm sure it's just a software causing this.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
The battery need only 3-4 recharge to take the most of it.

When you buy a new phone sure you will use it at least 19/24 :D

And after one week you get bored so you give him time to sleep thats why the battery last longer :p

I hope an update will fix the battery drain.

after installing Sony's provided Beta ICS (tweaked by ZD) on my ARC, I am to believe that ICS App management is more advance and I got some crazy time with battery and hope that ICS update could solve some battery issues.

i tend to believe that there is something in 2.3.7 Sony't custom that drains the battery. After couple of week usage of the phone, at standby with wifi on and nothing else it does drain from 100% to 90% in couple of hours.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MrZippo:
Right my first session with the Xperia S lasted just 7hrs! This was just setting the phone up and installing apps and generally playing around with it and with Wifi left on.

I charged it to 100% and so far after 11hrs 33mins it is on 28% Main drainage of battery seems to be the screen at 40% (even though brightness is set at 8%) and then cell standy at 20% followed by Wifi at 14%.

I will have to look at turning off Wifi and see how much that saves me but I have gotta used to leaving the Wifi on with the Galaxy SII with little battery consumption so I can't believe how the xperia S can't be the same.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] torquadon:
2h Skype talking over wifi. Wifi switched on all the time. Sync 2 gmails, another 4 email accounts, sync Facebook contacts. after 10h 57% left. I'm very happy with that results :)

To drain the battery I Played Draw something for over one hour.

Hi guys.

I've found this thread rather interesting with regards to idle battery drain. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2357417

Some of the methods won't suit everyone because of how they interfere with Google play, but they do have some good ideas.

Now I know 3 to 4 hours of screen on time is the best we can get. But I was sick of my random idle battery drain especially when connected to my home wifi for some reason. So here's what I've done.

As mentioned in that thread using greenify to hibernate Google play services gave me some good results. So you either need the donate version of greenify so you can hibernate system apps or you need to covert it too a user app. I was unable to get this to work in titanium backup, so ended up using a free app called system app mover. When selecting moving Google play services it asks if you want uninstall any play service updates. Select yes. And then greenify it.

This next one may just be down to my xperia a which is running trinity vengeance 4.0. But using better battery stats I had seen that the system hdmi app had a rather large amount of wake locks. So i froze it using titanium backup. I have not tested if hdmi still works, though I rarely use it, and can always defrost it if I need it. For me at least this has helped to keep the Android System group from being very high in the battery listings.

So I hope this is useful to anyone looking for less idle drain. Have a look at that thread for a lot more info.

See my last post on the previous page for details.

This is definitely the best idling I've ever had. Will make getting 3+ hours of screen time a lot easier now that I'm not loosing a big chunk of battery needlessly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] smardu:
ICS was the best in battery terms, JB hardly reach 1day in the same conditions.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
You are wrong.. ICS never made it with 4h screen on time for me.. Now JB runs 3.5h easily with 1 and half day of 100% - 5%..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] smardu:
Maybe in your region, in here, with H on all.day and in.the same conditions Jb reached 1d, ics was on 1and a half.day at least.

It seems that frequency is an important factor, not mentioning about t and z.... which are below s
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
No greenify, 50% brightness, a couple of hours of candy crush and hit wicket ipl cricket game, fb, whatsapp and hangouts for an hour, music for an hour and oly 8 hrs of deep sleep.. u can see the android system oly for 14%..which means very less deep sleep time.. amazing battery performance in existenz.. doomkernel rocks with intellidemand going governor noop scheduler.. :D

Is existenz better than stock .96? Or it is the kernel that makes the job?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
eXistenZ is same as Stock, but kernel does make the change.. DooMKernel is awesome... ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TakamineSubasa:
Damn, i wish my phone had unlock bootloader: yes :crying:

anyway i still get an excellent battery backup in jb +3.5 hr screen time and and also 1 day, 1 day and a half
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
You can get the same with LB too.. I had similar results with Stock kernel.. Install Kernel Tuner, select ondemand and conservative governors for CPU0 and CPU1 and scheduler be noop or deadline.. Greenify the apps u don't often use and caliberate the battery.. Just go to CWM, wipe cache and dalvik cache.. Switch off the phone and make sure u charge the phone completely.. Reboot.. And see the difference.. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ardos911:
For me thats enought. But if i am not using my acro s it can live for 2-3 days.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lordoftheriffs:
Well it lasted 1 day and 18 hours with 3h30min screen on time, mainly browsing and calls. I think battery started to lose its charge a little bit, since it's been 20 months since I got the phone. stock .96, stock kernel, no greenify, all honami mods.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tel033:
I'm currently on the latest jb all stock and rooted using greenify, battery is better not as good as I expected..

Last night I left my phone overnight without charging it and it didn't went idle I mean when I woke up battery was 26 percent less! And and the top of battery usage was android os, any possible solutions? When I see the stats in GS battery monitor under os there's a huge list of "loops"

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Clear cache and dalvik cache.. And turn off Auto Sync too during the night.. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] apurba_ron:

but when you don't often play games, daily use, charging every evening with no problem...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Haoh:
with new ROM CM11

last longer maybe 1 day
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lordoftheriffs:
My best performance with my Xperia S was with stock .96, 3:30 hours screen time with 2 days in battery, which is not bad in my opinion. But it will never ever beat my friend's Galaxy S4, to which I installed Custom rom and modified stock kernel. That thing can get over 6 hours of screen time with over 2 days in battery. That's better optimization by Samsung and not only the +850 mAh it carries.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SxperiaS:
I only get around 10h, 19m of battery with 15% left

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Turn Auto Sync off.. Check your mails manually, greenify facebook and whatsapp.. Its frees a lot of RAM and improves battery life too.. Also once caliberate your battery.. Check for my post in a page or 2 behind.. And also use as much as less homescreens and widgets.. That'll help u get more battery life.. Also turn off GPS or location service.. :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SxperiaS:
Thank you, yesterday i rooted my phone and made some modifications.

One question, if i greenify facebook and whatsapp will that no stop my notifications ?

Thank you
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Yes.. But that's how Greenify works.. It hibernates all the apps u want.. U can open them whenever u want to check notifications.. When u open them, you will receive all the notifications.. That's the small sacrifice you will have to make if u want more RAM and more battery backup..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] conalt:
sudhindrakv greenify is a great solution. But obviously notifications are important. If you are willing to pay for an app, the donation version of greenify will allow your notifications to work, and allow you to hibernate system apps like Google play services. (which will help battery life a lot!)

If you don't want to pay for it. A few pages pack I mentioned a method of converting system apps to user apps so that you can greenify then with the free version.

I know it bro.. ;)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
You can use titanium backup, rom toolbox, disable service, app quarantine etc.

Just select service and freeze/disable it. But be careful to not freeze anything suspicious. I once froze every facebook related service and my microphone stopped working.

Screen on time is not the problem for XS. but standby is pore. My XS CPU goes reliable in the Deep Sleep and yet it sometimes violently consumes power. Especially bad it is in flight mode. Flightmode needs more power then 3g, GPS and WiFi on all the time. :D After a reboot it is ok, but after 1-5 days the error comes back. It affects all stock based rom. much better/more evenly it is CM. Unfortunately there is the Deep Sleep not very economical as it is on Stock rom.

Unsolvable LT26i

Hello, my battery was draining as hell so I bought new battery - 2850mAh - i know it wil not have as much but it should at least work like noirmal battery- the old one is round 2 years old thats why i boutght new, calibrated it.

Still didnt make a change. I'm noob in this so i started to search how to improve battery life. Started with root, CPU tuners, Greeify, WakeLocks. Still no luck. Then found tornado here in this thread, he said:to delete Cache and dalvik Cache, turned off phone. Calibrated again. Still no difference. I even changed my signal to 2G GSM from 3G. I am using App Quarantine aswell for many things.

All Synch, Localisations are off. Everything that you can think of is turned off. Did Factory reset few times already. Tried to use stamina mode, but none difference

I've got no idea how u guys can have 3 hours of screen. 56% left from 100%

5h 13m on battery

32% screen 25m 6,. on almost lowest brightness

19% android system CPU totaol 2m 22s keep awake 27m 6s

Cell standby 16%

phone idle 9%

Mediaserver 6 - doesnt matter i know why

walkman 5 - doesnt matter i know why

android os 4

messenger 4 - doesnt matter i know why

greenify 3

voice calls 2 - doesnt matter i know why

as you can see, things like Android System, Cell Standby, Phone Idle are taking too much battery and ive got no idea why. I really dont know why would Screen take so much battery aswell with so low usage. I would really need help guys. I've got depressions from this. I was looking for so many things around the internet for tons of my time but ive got no idea how to get my phone working at least 3 hours on screen. I literally got so overwhelmed with so many tries and informations i dont know what else can I do. I was thinking about chaning kernel or ROM, but i didnt get to information about it. Was trying to solve it with the easier methods, but If there will be needed to change it im happy to get some advice from you. Thanks.

IM using Xperia LT26i , rooted, stock kernel and rom. 4.1.2 andr, 6.2.B.1.96 Build. Kernel 3.4.0 + many things. Im noob in this so dont blame. Thanks for reading.

EDIT: IF you tell me to consider installing new ROM, you should be more specific. As Which One is the best for battery consum. Plus link could be helpful. Thank you.

Hiya everyone,

This might be unrelated but I'm unable to post in the ROMs threads due to < 10 posts, so thought if someone can answer my query here, I'd be great.

So I recently switched from stock to SlimBean 4.2.2 + TWRP ( obviously for a better battery life :p )

However, I'm unable to flash any KitKat based roms.( for even better battery life )

I keep getting this error "E:Error executing updater binary in zip", while flashing these roms.

I tried removing those 2 lines from updater-script and re-zipping the folder for flashing, but to no avail.

Very high drain from Google Play Services

I'm getting an insane battery drain from Google Play Services, and despite low usage the battery runs out after less than one day.

I've read some suggestions, but what is recommended to do? Must I lose some functionality or is it just a bug fix?

I'd like to post the screens, but I cant due to new user restrictions. Anyway, GPS takes about 66% of the battery, with 37 mins CPU time and 11hrs of activity, and 285 activations.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mgrinwis:
I always use the Fastboot method (see this thread)

You can flash (DooMLoRD's kernel) to install any ROM.

After installing Fastboot and downloading the kernel, start command prompt as administrator. Then navigate to the Fastboot folder using cmd and flash the recovery using the command: "fastboot flash boot kernel.elf" (Recovery mode can be entered by pressing VOLUME UP key when you power on the device)

This can come in handy when Flashtool is not an option. :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mgrinwis:
I totally agree!

To add to your remark, someone755 posted a nice idea to alter the core voltage (using i.e. Trickstermod) and set the lowest possible frequency to 702 MHz at 800 mV. This should increase performance at the lowest frequency and, because more can be done in the same time with the same voltage, should also result in less battery drain (just to be on the safe side, I have mine running at a minimum of 702 MHz with 825 mV).

This results definitely in smoother performance and maybe a lower battery drain. I haven't used these settings long enough to give my conclusions on the battery aspect, although it doesn't seem to have a negative impact on battery life.

Here is someone755 explanation about his idea (I shortened his post a bid):
