I believe this is possible, yes...but if I turn off 3G then I don't need a Smartphone. If I turn off 3G on my Nokia Lumia 920 then the phone lasts for about 3 weeks ;)

I'm just saying that battery life has greatly improved, although I'm using the same setup and the same daily work as before. And that's a good thing, Sony seems to learn :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mr.AnakinSkywalker:
Good battery. No need for discussions.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] testadeferro:
If you re nokia lumia was a smart phone I had belived you. Lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skycamefalling:
I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but as long as you are typing with a Samsung phone and are complaining about Lumias, noone will take you seriously.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] testadeferro:
My mom as a lumia 920. My phones can you see in my signature. And lum8a is a good camera and good call sender receiver. The rest is a fail.

Or do you want that somebody take you serulious comparing your lumia with my s4? Lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skycamefalling:
I don't think that this is the right place to discuss something like this but yes, I've happily traded my S4 for a Lumia 920 because the Lumia is better in every aspect. It's fluid, stable, pretty, and every piece of hardware -from screen through speaker to camera- is better.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] testadeferro:
Hardware? Snapdragon 4x 1.9 against dual core krait?! 1280x768 lumia against full 1080p s4!? 1gb ram lumia agains 2g s4?! 13 mp camera against 8m7 lumia?! No sd card support on lumia!!! A death and decadent operating system with a decadent company nokia? Man you re really hilarious. Uou made my day. Lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skycamefalling:
If my phone would need 4 cores and 2GB of RAM to still have worse performance than any Lumia outthere, I wouldn't boast about it ;)

Faster hardware doesn't mean anything when the device doesn't make use of it. The Lumia is faster than any Quadcore Android device with 2GB of RAM. It's not WindowsPhone's fault when Android cannot make proper use of hardware.

Oh well, and 13MP are nothing when seeing the OIS of the Lumia. No need to talk about the screen: You are using a pentile-Amoled screen with oversaturated colours and no sunlight-visibility. There's no way you would recognize a good display.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that you like your Galaxy, I really do. But don't try to compare you toy to a real Smartphone like the Lumia.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] testadeferro:
Toy? The s4 is award winning phone. S2 phone of the year 2011 award. S3 awarded phone of the year 2012! S4 will easylly win the same. And do you you know that the lumia had camera problems that nokia could not solve till today? Has battery issues? Do you know geekbench? A cross platform benchmark? The result of the s4 is a overall score that your talk machine can dream! Eaven iphone 5 is the half fast. Where talking about hardware benchs not operating systems. And not to talk that wp8 is a closed platform like ios. Android and s4 generally works with two ui. In case s4 as tw over android. And my toy as a battery that lasts for 5 or 6 hours screen time. Using it. Your lumia maybe 3 or 3 and half hours is gone. Regqrds.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skycamefalling:
You've made your point clear enough that you have no idea and no experience. What frightens me the most is that you really seem to think that your S4 is doing anything better than the Lumia 920. Please, be satisfied with your "award-winning" toy and let the adults use the real thing.

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Nokia Lumia 920

REVIEW INDEXPosted:*10 Apr 2013, 04:33, by Ray S.Categories:*T-Mobile*AT&T*Verizon*Sprint*Nokia*Samsung*Windows*Android

Share:

Discuss92Call qualitySurprise, surprise, neither phone is particularly good for carrying out conversations, as both of their earpieces sound somewhat... bad. The Galaxy S4 does manage to slightly edge the Lumia 920 in that respect though, and the same thing goes for its loudspeaker, which, although far from perfect, tends to be noticeably clearer than that of its opponent.ConclusionWell, it's been another action-packed face-off, and we think it's clear already which device we think is the superior one here – it is the Galaxy S4! Sure, its appearance isn't as fancy and the construction isn't as sturdy as those of the*Lumia 920, but that's about where the Nokia's advantages end.Samsung's handset is definitely the more convenient phone to use, as it's much lighter and thinner, while at the same time it packs a significantly larger display. But that is not all. The*Galaxy S4*also has a much better camera, and when we turn our attention to the software experience, that's where the Galaxy S4 easily gains the upper hand as it simply offers so much more, both in terms of custom, built-in features and third-party apps. Microsoft has certainly nailed a number of things in Windows Phone, including the web browser and QWERTY keyboard, and then we have Nokia's free offline turn-by-turn navigation, but those things aren't nearly enough to save the Lumia 920.With all of that in mind, it seems that the only thing that remains for us is to wait for Nokia's next flagship smartphone, and then see how close it's gotten to successfully competing with the most fearsome Android phone around.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FenrirMX:
I'm sure your helping people makes you think you're entitled to say whatever you want, but you still have to follow rules, just like the rest of us, your little quarrel with the Lumia fan is off topic, no matter how you slice it. If you want to put him in his place or whatever it is you think you're doing, do it over PMs.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] testadeferro:
Your observation is also off topic. And I didn t gone off topic first. I ve just respond his off topic observation. And on topic now. The xs is a good piece and deserves to have better updates from sony because the battery and the cam had allways be a nightmare.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FenrirMX:
Indeed it was, but it's one count versus the much larger number that you've accumulated lately, also, you missed my point entirely by once again arguing off-topic for the sake of arguing. Let it go, take it to PMs or be reported, up to you. You're probably gonna keep on arguing with me, but I will not respond, just so you know.

As for the second point you're making, yes, it makes me sad that Sony has disregarded this fine piece of hardware, when it has so much potential. Thankfully there are people around that are willing to pick up the slack.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] testadeferro:
try third party camera software. Sometimes you can have extra settings for the noise. In the time I used camera fv5 and fotos had been lot better. And for battery try xposed framework with greenyfy. You can cut some apps to stay active in send receive data or stay active in many things. It protects your privacy and spares a bit of battery. Cheers.

Pretty happy with my Xperia S battery, and after playing asphalt8 medium quality, temple run 2, texting, whatsapp, facebook, few calls, browsing internet, taking photos, and using bluetooth to play music :D

Wakelocks

Here we are again with nlp wakelocks and rilj wakelocks. After fixing issue on google play 4.1 and older "maps" now on stock .96 rom + kernel (google play 4.3.11) wakelocks are back (few thousands of them)... Rom + kernel were installed cleanly, full wipe / cache wipe / etc, no backups were restored. For now as far as i know, the only way to fix it is to turn of "location reporting". Or maybe you gus got some alternative solutions?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
greenify some user apps if rooted :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] quain:
All of my additional apps are hibernated. To be honest i have no idea how to greenify system apps like maps or some services - any ideas?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
You can't greenify system apps, only user apps. But you can remove GMaps as a system app and reinstall it from the Play Store. That way you can greenify it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] testadeferro:
Guys I don't know if xposed framework works with the xs but if it works you can deny some services to the apps like stoping maps, fb and other apps that are trying allways to get info and data from phone causing wakelocks. In my samsungs it gives me some 20 % juice alone without greenyfy.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
use titanium backup to make the apps user apps.but i have only done that to GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES and GMAIL and greenified them.i uninstalled google plus using same trick.no much background activity or wakelocks but even cant pass out a day :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
I also had a lot of problems with battery life. It was dropping like crazy with no usage. Mainly the problem was android os.

After a few hard resets (volume up and power button until 3 vibrations) and one charge cycle from 0 to 100 (waited for phone to shut down and charged turned off) it is getting better. It really needs to settle.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
This is mine from the latest build .96 fw.. I don't use Greenify nor any battery saving app.. Simple and Stock feature.. Extended Standby Mode... Honestly i don't think we need any battery saving app in the latest build.. Kernel is so beautifully built.. I lose around max 4-5% in Deep Sleep for 10 hours every night.. Battery doesn't lose too much even with gaming like it did before.. Fantastic work i should say by SONY.. :D Brightness set at 30%.. Good enough for me even in Sunlight..!! Used all sort of apps.. Walkman for around 2 hours, an hour of Movies, a couple to Whatsapp and FB, an hour and half may be for Gaming and other stuff..

Use app : Wakelock detector. It will show you what apps blocks deepsleep. I am agree with lordoftheriffs. My battery life is "good".

Very good deepsleep when i don't use it with data open (Miracle :laugh:). When i use it (Internet, game, mail) yes battery have "average" life. But it's normal

Don't test with .96 but before yes. I think it's come frome google. (If you means : Open : Not in deppsleep mode)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FenrirMX:
Yeah, I had that installed, must have used it a couple of times and forgotten about it, the culprit seems to be the fast-dormancy apk that I thought Titanium backup had frozen... and yet there it was, waking my phone up 22 thousand times over one day. Deleted forever, damn thing.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
No.. Don't use any battery saving app.. U can just check Extended Standby Mode.. Keep your ROM as clean as possible.. Remove any bloatware apps that u don't use, close any app after u have finished using it. And use less brightness.. And don't apply any tweaks.. if u r rooted, u can install kernel tuner or any such sort of app and change CPU governors.. Like CPU0 to Ondemand and CPU1 to Conservative.. So far, i have got best results using this and also the phone never heats up.. :good:

Good thing is to install custom ROM which has far better battery drain optimisation than official Sony firmware.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] testadeferro:
Thats not true. Tweaking and modding its a complex way. I ve been getting allways better battery life with full stock firmwares. One thing that helps a lot is to remove with titanium backup the full crap you don t use. Just right to your needs. As example I allways remove email app and exchange services. Gmail app and maps. They are battery hungry apps. And there are much more that could be safe removed. Make your own custom rom full filling your needs. I don't own this phone anymore but so far I've used battery was not a problem. He as major problems worser then that.

My thread about optimizing the battery life of Sony's Xperia Z should also help the Xperia S users (also includes apps for debloating):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2382712

Since there are many similarities between the xperia S and Z you can use many (NOT ALL) of my battery saving tips almost 1:1 for the Xperia S.

I guess with the Xperia S you can at least get 30-40% more battery life/screen-on-time (in relation to your previous battery life/screen-on-time and your indivual usage).

Please test some of my tips and spread the word if it helped :)

Do this.. Its sort of caliberating battery usage by your system.. Wipe cache and dalvik cache.. Switch off then.. Charge till 100% and later reboot.. Don't use the phone for say half hour.. Then start using slowly.. Let the ROM settle.. See if any changes occur and let us know.. ;)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
oh,but our phone has a 720p lcd display and few phones like samsung galaxy s advance easily goes 2 days because they have super amoled screens,battery life :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] heross:
Xperia S batterylife is not the best. I think the main reason is the high operating voltage for the old Hardware. a good indicator for this old hardware is the heat on the backside. It must be a smartphone, not a handheater. ;) There are kernels with which one can at least undervolt the CPU significantly. Thus, it is then already much better.

My XS run stable with 750mV at 384 and 1087mV at 1,51GHz. This reduced the accudrain noticeable. the consumption falls in average in idle from 250mA to 180mA and under medium load from 550mA to 400mA.

I think another potential certainly exists when lowering the voltage from board and GPU? What we need are efficient kernels, especially for CM-based rom. by rom and its settings however, I do not see any immense savings.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] proposicion47:
I had a galaxy s advance previous to this one, and battery barely lasted me 1 day with brightness low and all sorts of hacks.

This one goes day and half without much worry other than brightness, I even let the gps on all the time.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
how come :p my friend owns a galaxy s advance,his phone goes nearly full 2 days,mine struggles for a day :confused: depends on usage
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] testadeferro:
Using galaxy devices for long time and comparing this with s2 (in my opinion most comparable galaxy device) I get 3 hours screentime. Not more. Usage only can be figured in screentime and talking time. If you play much or use 3g you get various values. If you manage to get up to 4 hours with this device stay in peace with it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
I mean the screen time buddy.i used galaxy s2 for few days but i am talking about galaxy s advance, he gets 3 hours with 2 days and nearly 5 hours screen on time compared to xperia s
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] testadeferro:
Nice. What i mean was the xperia s having 3.30 or 4 h screen is just ok. Nothing to complain about it. Advance s is a single core device with 1.4 ghz. That's why you get more screentime.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] franklin93:
wrong,its dual core.somewhat similar to xperia s but the amoled screen and a lil lower speed cpu and lil lower ram :laugh:

Sorry pal I did make some confusion with other model. Is in fact a dual core a9 1.0 cpu with 4.0 inches screen. You can't compare this with a 1.5 dual core with 4.3 screen. S2 will have more to do with xs.
