Different phones use different amount of power so you cannot compare it to your old htc desire. Nothing to do with the voltages but how many Milli amps each phone uses to power its internals. Smaller and more advanced manufacturing process decreases the amount of power a component uses. How about comparing the amount of power used by an old AMD athlon 64 vs a new core i5.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eugenius8:
hmm onto my 14th charge but it hasnt really improved :S i mean it lasts a day just about with moderate use which is fine for me but was hoping for more, with heavy usage especially with 3d gaming battery it goes down really quick, ive tried the battery calibrating and 3g only trick but its still the same, waiting for the .73 update and hoping it can fix this :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Forzaferrarileo:
I have a partial solution for battery life :)

You must have rooted xperia , so for the moment also unlocked bootloader

Install Setcpu or other app to set clock of cpu , and set minimun clock at 192 mhz and set scaling method "power save" or "conservative" ; when you wanna play , use camera or other app that require power you set back the clock on default an

Now my xperia has an autonomy of 18-20 h ( i play with xperia s at school or when I go home)

wrong battery percentage

Guys, i'm facing some serious issues with my battery measuring for the past 1 week or so , it never goes or shows below 55% my phone apparently gets switched off once it goes below that level, however i don't seem to have any problems with the battery usage as it gives me more than a days' charge and it stays at 100% charge most of the time during the initial 5-6 hrs . I guess it has something to do with the Battery calibration and the statistics along with it. But can i manually calibrate my battery as i'm on a non-rooted device? or is there any app which i can rely on to do this job ..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] roby200487:
i have the pfone for 1 week aproximatley, withot juice defender i have 12 hours, and with juice deffender 26 hours :), i think its good

Has anyone played games on a HD TV ? (with controllers and stuff)

Does it cost much battery when you do that ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaosdroid:
Hi,

Ok,had the phone for 24hour fully discharging over it auto off,then fully off charge the phone,I take me 8hour! !! For fully green led,start the phone and set it(account,upgrade apk,personal setting,ect) and WHAT. !!!!! only 2 hour! With no heavy use(no game,no internet,ect...)just set the phone!

WTF !! :-S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shmoejoe:
You haven't had the phone for a long time either.... The first charge is insanely long because the battery has to sort of "wake up". What firmware are you running?

You should probably get better battery life after the first few charges, but the first charge takes some time :-P.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] royalbloodvi:
my battery tripled after research on android.

orininally i thought juicedefender, and task managers save battery life. this was proven wrong. it drains your battery faster.

reason: juicedefender does nto allow your device to deep sleep and conserve battery/any other apps that need to WAKELOCK

to TRIPLE your batery life do this:

download badass battery monitor

check if there are unwanted apps wakelocking your device. it will show you how many times a app wakelocked your device (juiice defender wakelocked mine 187 times among other apps)

then, get rid of/do whats appropriate for those apps e.g. disable auto refresh, etc

then download cpuspy, to check if your device has been deepsleeping (dont leave it to charge, it wont deepsleep)

and there you go ;)

the trick is to keep it simple, dont go overboard on the battery saving apps, simple is the key here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sssache:
Well i have to thank you about the ''badass battery monitor'' suggestion. Now i can see all the details on the app sucker. In top of the list was facebook that is keep waking up the device, even if i don't use facebook. The problem is that i cannont uninstall this preinstalled apps. If someone here has become root please tell me if you can. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
Sure you can delete it if you are rooted from system/app
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dyflinn:
Hello. First post here so apologies in advance. I've searched for info on the problem I'm encountering but nothing like it comes up and this thread is the closest.

I have an Xperia S about 2 weeks now. It has the .73 update onboard.

I appreciate the fact that a Smartphone like this can guzzle juice and that some mitigating actions can improve battery life. But my problem is not with battery usage but rather that the phone doesn't seem to know what the battery's true state is. I have observed the following:

1) Despite being charged, the phone screen will not come on, or more correctly, comes on so dimly that you cannot see it. The only way around this seems to be a reboot, and sometimes more than one.

2) Once when charging the phone, it had reached full charge (100%) but I was busy so didn't unplug it. This shouldn't be a problem as it should be OK to leave the phone plugged in (technically at least, if not environmentally). But when I came to unplug the phone a few minutes later the reading was 2%!!!!

I tried to exhaust this "2%" by switching on everything an watching a video, but it didn't go down.

After a night on standby, it was still showing 1%. I plugged it in again and after a couple of hours it was at 19% and wouldn't go further.

After connecting it to my car's USB port later, it wen't straight back to > 90%.

It appears to me that the phone thought it was low, when it wasn't. Then dropped overnight probably to 81% and thus could only get another 19% onboard when recharged. (This was pre .73)

3) Phone on, and at about 80%. A little bit of internet usage (~5 minutes) and I'm down to 1%!! Despite the low battery warning, the phone works fine and maybe 10 minutes later it's back up to 75%. It was not plugged in at all during this time. (This was post .73).

4) The phone has also rebooted itself at least once.

It's a great phone otherwise, which is why I'm tolerating this unpredictable power reading, but it shouldn't be like this on such a pricey handset.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
Looks like a faulty battery.

I've never seen anything like this.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dyflinn:
That's what I suspect myself, though I was hoping someone might say "Oh that's sorted by .....".

Perversely, it's now been unplugged since this morning (about 9.5 hours) and still at 100%.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shmoejoe:
I do believe your phone as a cruel sense of humor along with that bad battery :P.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Scratchling:
Try resetting the battery stats and see if it gets itself back in line.

You arent using any kind of weird charger are you? If you had a high power 12V cigarette socket charger that could cause issues.

Also, Hi from another Dublin XS user :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaosdroid:
I know that man but my brightness is alway at 0 because at my home in a dark room :-D

But I made another test and just swipe the home and install some apk and read this forum and BAM battery suck like *****!

I have an x10 but my battery is dead on it cause I use it with charger pluged in(big error)

Anyway,when batterie on my x10 goes fine it never drain like this,

And another suck I see is my home is verry lagy on the S with only 5 pane with default widget

On my x10 S it run verry smooth with no lag and 9 pane! With same widget +another one on extend pane(nocustomkernel,no tweak ini.d)just uncap with installrecovery.sh and romtoolbox pro for memory ect...(verry smooth x10 :-P)

In conclusion I charge my phone every 3,4 hours when surf on xda and respond on twitter,no play game at this time :-S

My S is not rooted because I get a fuked one by sfr

unlockbootloader allowed =no

And I have some strange things on it

Eg:for have the gmail timescape to work you need gmail 2.3.0

So I have it!install it and ok timescapegmail run perfect,

But after reboot bam my gmail disappear and return factory buggy 2.3.5 :-S

I never have this on my x10

This new phone have a lot security system that nerve me

Day by day I see APPLE BEHIND MY PHONE! !!:-S

In compare,

When receive my x10

I said YHEA

really good phone I love it

When receive my XPS

I said YHE......

WHAT!,NOOOO,ARGH!!!

Sony fuc me pretty good :-D

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
Hello my friend ;)

You can try to flash generic firmware maybe the bootloader unlock will be possible, I am not sure but you have to try.

For battery firmware .73 is the best.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaosdroid:
Hello,man happy to see that you have the "same" phone of me

If my boot is locked I can't flash anything right?

And in doomlord guide this is mentioned

The phone system is completly different now essentially for stop this and user cry at operator warranty and want a new phone!

And in all test provide in youtube nobody speak about this before the phone was release in all country !

just for Sony be sure to sell their phone.

If before by this phone I have see that the phone need unlock operator and blablabla for use it like my X10

For sure I take a nexus

BtW I'm on 67 firmware and lot of user of this have unlock yes

In pcc or seus no updates for me :-(

And sfr said no updates,your phone is normal and run perfect for us :-D

And in case I get a Christmas FW by sfr unlock yes(not possible,but just for exemple)

After that I need to go on Sony web site for give my imei(hahaha in the past BE SAFE ! PHONE USER DON'T GIVE YOUR IMEI AT NO ONE THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT)

But just for that I hate that someone follow all my trace,

again more by Chinese :-D(joke)

So,welcome in 2012 the last year of your poor tiny Pocket money get empty by the big hungry money politics :-D

Humm,sorry guys:-S

For now,

I call my operator to change my phone because I have 15 day to try it

Or I pray for the dev that find an easy safety way to root this dam phone!

I don't want flash anything if it not safe especially the unlock satus,

Again I never do this on my x10 for lot of good reason

Well,I not plan to do this on a new 48 hour phone :-D

And if it for get "my phone cannot start,my phone reboot,my phone cannot get signal,my phone have. ....blablabla)

I prefer wait :-)

And for battery where you see that 73 is the best? Again plAcebo for people have root on 62.67

Because 73 is just an security updated to kill easy root and force user to give imei on Sony web

No log on 73 FW

Correct me if i'm wrong somewhere,

Maybe all the post :-DDD

Ciao

Ps:

I have psvita3G SFR(BTWsame fuc)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
I don't want to quote your long post :D

Yes you can flash any firmware with flashtools even if you have locked BL.

The latest firmware.73 has solved the battery issue for most users so you have to try it.

I have unlocked BL but not sure if you flash a generic firmware will allow you to unlock your BL??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] randy_c:
I am on SG generic .73 battery still suck. Thinking of hard reset etc... redo it completely
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaosdroid:
Seriously man,you sure that I can flash any firmware on my hard locked phone?

Because doomlord say to me currently no way!

But I rewrite to him what you say to me and I waiting his respond.

Don't be offence man it's just to be have more opinion on that run because I'm really septic about that.

Because if my operator made 2month for release the phone after all operator with his subfirmware and lock the phone accordingly with sony(like ps vita 3G vodaphone)

So just download FW and flash in flashtool like on x10

I think it's to easy for me

But I hope you right man because stay with this crap phone locked nerve me very high

Ciao
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] roby200487:
the 0.73 doesent resolve anything for me.! same thing like 0.67

juic defender does!, bluetotoh always on(bluetooth hands free), data always on, 3g always on, about 110 minutes talk, 30 pictures , gta3 game, some angri birds, contected to tv on hdmi, and i have at 11pm 10% juice, i think its good,

i have the phone from one week aproximatley :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaosdroid:
Yes like I said before. 73 is an security update ! not resolve anything

Anyway,

gm007

you right

for flash any STOCK firmware in FT

but unlock status

is based on the imei of the phone

and cannot be change!even with FW

Like a car you cannot change id appart if you a bad guys and plan to enter in bank

With gun :-D

But I wait doomlord respond about this even if he tell me NO WAY

I think my phone keep return to his right place >trash<

But after read another imform

If I plan to keep a nexus in place of this suck phone by sfr

it seam that the same crap occur :-S

APPLE GET AWAY FROM SONY! !!!!'

:-$
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
I hope someone will get a solution for you guys with locked BL and I think nothing impossible here @ xda ;)

Hi guys,

my battery life has recently (since a week ago) took a hit and started draining really quick even on standby mode.

Can anyone assist and check their service menu as well? Is there an error with the start level, min level and new battery (mAh)?

Thanks guys

After that start and recharge your phone :)

so far it only changed the values on the battery health test page (actual batt uAh) to 1750000.

Hi,

Getting this phone today but an terriefied about battery life and that.

Any tips as to how to intially charge the phone?

Am afraid ill do something stupid:o
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaosdroid:
Yes i hope so,

but with the imei system security i think it's really difficult now

BTW,

Doom respond me that about flashing on locked,

"You won't be able to flash custom Roms/kernels if u have locked bootloader....

Also currently there is no exploit to root the GB build of Xperia S...

Sent from my LT26i using"

Well,

at this time I'm disappointed about flashing on my phone
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
Everything is great on .73 firmware.

Very good battery life.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaosdroid:
Ok,for people have eyes burning on the batterie stats

In service menu the good processing is :plug the charger a test start for charging mode(down a message in green appears)charge til 100%(maybe a new message say unplug but i'm not sure but not important at this point)then when 100% unplug and now a second test appear for discharge mode!

If your phone have no trouble the test go completely dissarge your phone with no message and the background of the screen stay as his colors and finally you have a result(unplug before 10%)or your phone go off and test is lost

If your phone battery have a problem

Then the background off the screen goes RED and a message appear tha say battery damaged 80%or90%or100%like me on x10:-D

In this case your battery is die

In this test -1 is because you not starting the test at 100 %

Outch! !!!

Anyway on the S the battery is the PROBLEM why :-S

For exemple on my vita 3g that have 1800 battery(i think)

And hardware more big

4/5hours in game with 3G on BT on brightness 80%

On this phone 2.30 hours with no internet no game brightness at 0%

Only swipe the phone and set it :-o

WARNING!!

When your phone is new normally the right process is imediatly power on the phone and plug the charger in wait 100% then unplug set your phone use it til it automatic off when 1% and now plug the off mode and wait 12hours or more if you can

EG:me I wait 8hour and when on the phone it at 95% :-(

Now I can't pass this in off mode and give me some FC in battery stats

Argh!!

Ciao
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaosdroid:
I don't think so man ;-)

My problem is

MY PHONE CANNOT BE UNLOCKED

(if I read and understand correct the nice guide by doomlord about this)

UNLOCK SATUS ALLOWED = NO

But what do you mean by unbranding?

Is it flash(generic FW /usa/GB ect)in flashtool?

If so,a generic Stock img is a system file ?

Anyway I'm on 67 and in PCC SEUS no updated available!!

like a said before sfr tell me "your phone is good we not plan to update it "

So before we have simlock

Now we have simlock/bootlock/and another that is vice:-D

Welcome in 2012
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] naughtb4:
Im in Ireland so .73 for me yet :(

Is it correct to discharge the phone completly before going ahead with the initial charge?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] del1701:
You can flash generic firmwares with a locked bootloader via flashtool to debrand your phone, however you can't flash custom roms or kernels until you unlock your bootloader.

It doesn't make any sense IMO.

Never did it with any of my smartphones, those batteries don't need it.

AFAIK.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaosdroid:
Thanks man,

i know that now,

gm007

and another guys

idicated me that too,

but flash another stock FW

Give me nothing special,

i don't want another FW mine is fine.

My problem is that my phone cannot be unlockable

And I want to know if someone with operator locked boot loader have flash generic FW and if after that his bootloader status as change

I mean

UnlockbootloaderAllowed=yes

But I don't think so:-(

I just want to root this dam phone!

Or if a black way is possible or if I can wait

Because at this time I have one week left to return my phone

Have a phone that I cannot root is simply impossible for me

Flash,tweak,ect..On my phone is my drug:-D

Without!

My day pass are very long and boring :-D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaosdroid:
Yes it's indicated in your book fonction with your phone,

it calibrate your battery for fast charging after

But like I said above you can charge the phone immediately after the first boot at 100%,use the phone til it auto power off

Then plug the charger and let it charge in off mode the max you can 12hours its good

The major problem people have with their battery is that we/they cannot wait to use the phone,they jump on it like a shark on a surf man and forget the battery callib

The phone have already min battery just for start,not for start a game or something

Start the phone,charge it 100%, use it at auto off(1%)

Charge it in off mode the maximum time possible

Start the phone,again use it at auto off

Repeat off mode

Now you have perfect battery!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] del1701:
If your phone is networked locked and in the service menu it says bootloader unlock allowed no, then at the moment you cannot unlock it, not even flashing a generic rom will unlock it, at the moment you have no way of rooting your phone I'm sorry to say but I would imagine that devs are working on it, so it's up to you if you want to keep it and wait to see if a rooting method comes or take it back for something else

Now,

all that i suspect before about this seam to be clear now :-D

But doom say more clear "NO WAY" :-D

Phone with unlock allowed =no

Flash FW in flash tool= same result+problems :-S/sorry not possible re:-S

Try to pay for unlock code = same result and -20$€ on your crédit card :-D

Well,the right solution for us is

PRAY and cross our finger foot :-DD

Or made a return and take iphone4 S krkrkr!!

Maybe someone

with a phone unlock=yes

but with some trouble/malfonction on it

want to exchange with mine unlock=no

But run perfect with no issue ?

Certainly has. About four hours later, after sending a few (~6) texts and surfing (Wi-fi) for maybe 15 minutes, it popped the warning 0% and shut down. Cannot seem to get it charged at all at the moment. 0% to 100% in 5 minutes on Saturday morning and then back to 0% less than an hour later.

Hello there fellow Dublin XS. I have to say I'm missing my HTC Desire. The XS is so impressive, when it's on, but the HTC was reliable.

The day I got it I was getting no charge via the Sony USB from my computer so I did use a Blackberry charger (which used work fine with my HTC Desire) and it seemed to work.

Since then, because the Sony charger doesn't seem to charge it (14 hours plugged in since last night with no use and still at 0%) I've tried Samsung and HTC chargers, with mixed success. At present nothing seems to be working and I cannot get any charge into the battery.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaosdroid:

The phone radio is using the battery so much durig night and day. I have made a test yesteday night with the smarthpone in airplane mode. In 10 hours the battery consumption was 0,1 per hour. With the airplane off (normal gsm) battery consumption is 0,7. I have made a comparison with HTC Desire HD and SGS2 (normal gsm) of my friends and the Desire HD is using 0,3 and the SGS2 0,2 per hour on the same condition. I hope with the ICS it will become better or maybe someone here will manage to decrease this high %.
