Xperia P is nice phone with great design and great dispaly screen :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neoxx3m:
I have my xperia p for couple of days, it's fantastic phone, fast and beautiful looking. Screen is gorgeous, but battery life is disaster for a heavy user. Even on ICS update. Excellent phone with battery handicap. :/

Whats your on-screen time?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] noim:
My on screen time is 5-6 hours..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neoxx3m:
Around 6 hours..

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
Are you guys serious? I think you guys have it confused, there is no way you can get that much time from the xperia p. :eek:

What did you understand by on-screen time? Because 6 hours on-screen time is like a frikken beast of a battery time.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neoxx3m:
On-screen time is the time that u can see when u click Screen in Power management/Battery.

Over 80% of battery consumption goes on my screen, so it's possible. Our screen is a battery eater. :|

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
No thats a common misconception if the screen is taking so much battery then the phone is very efficient in other processes.

So on just a single charge you get like 6 hours on-screen time? Why all the complaining then? Very few android phones can claim to have such on-screen time if any apart from the razr maxx. I still think you have it misunderstood, it just isnt possible to have that good battery life out of a 1305 mah unit.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neoxx3m:
I think that 20 hours of battery life with about 9 hours in deep sleep, 2-3 hours of wlan web browsing, 1 hour of talk time and couple of sms msgs, and about 2-3 hours of "modding" my phone is bad battery life. Even mid range Xperia J will have 1750mAh battery, and it's slimmer than P.

And Extended Standby Mode is allways on in my case.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
But 5 hours of screen on time if freakin good. I think you must have charged more than once to get number because I can tell if you really were getting 5 hours of on screen time on a single charge then you'll be pretty happy. :p

Yes ofcourse the battery capacity is a bummer.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mas143forever:
Yeah it is true. I also normally get at least 4-5 hours screen-on time per charge. Havent tried with hardcore gaming though. Videos, browsing, facebook, messenger, whatsapp, sms, calls, apps etc are my uses, usually on wifi. On deep sleep, it almost eats nothing. And my screen-on is always around 50-65 % and thereabouts.

But still, the battery is the weakest point of P.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gambler_3:
So push notifications dont work with this deep sleep right?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AwesomeTurtle:
Welp, after two hours this morning fighting with myself, I got the P (with next-day shipping because I'm damn impatient). This'll be fun.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neoxx3m:
I'm now on 2 h and 7 min on-screen time, and my battery level is 67%.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MajestyZ:
I agree with you. Right now, I'm on 45% and 2h 4m display time. I'm never getting above 4,5 hours. That's when I push it very far. All I do is browsing, whatsapp and music. Nothing special if you ask me.

I wouldn't complain if I'd get 5+ hours of display time, haha.

Why guys why are you complaining about battery time then?? Does the xperia S get 5 hours on screen time?? I dont think so. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neoxx3m:
First of all, thanks button on xda android app is on wrong place. :/

Battery is bad, xperia s have about 7 hours of talk time, xperia p about 5 hours. Xperia s have one hour more juice in video playback and one and a half hour in web browsing, and all of that on bigger hd screen and faster cpu. Xperia p has bad battery life, thats the fact.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] acervenky:
Please stop complaining about SXP its a good device and deserves to be.

And its the brightest *SMARTPHONE* in the market which means when other phones are at 100% brightness SXP will be at 40-50% resulting in reduction of power consumption and due to the display,battery life increases tremendously.

And if you have more to complain......WHY DID YOU BUY THIS PHONE ???????

Learn to respect your devices.

It's fantastic and beautiful device with bad battery life man, and screen is too much for a battery that is built into it. U can say anything you want but I speak from experience with this. Cheers.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tbschommer:
I always get 3-4 days with the "bad battery", but of course I seldom use mobile data (only when needed, just like wifi).

I really like this phone, but you'll always find complaints regarding every phone model around.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neoxx3m:
I can get 3-4 days only if I dont use my phone often, but I agree with u, we must stop complaining about it, we have fantastic piece of tehnology in our hands! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] parthsony2000:
I completely agree with you...

Every phone have some issues. It's up to people and their usage.

I've been useing X P from may-2012 and never had any problem. (Normal User)

I am very happy with this phone and looking forward to get JB soon.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AwesomeTurtle:
So how's the P treating you, Rashkae?

Today marks my first work day with this thing, and it seems to be faring very well battery-wise.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] r00tPT:
How does the battery of P compares to S?

I've read quite a bit of pages of this thread to find out about the battery life and usage, but I'd like to know on a similar use if the battery lasts about the same.

How hard is it to replace the battery of the P? I guess it voids warranty?

Xperia P has everything I want and it's gorgeous, but I'm afraid the battery doens't last enough. I can't charge it throughout the day.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cadicuce:
This's my screen shotttt.:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] noob_syboot:
I agree with you about the battery life, but personally for me that is not much a problem bigger problem for me is the volume LOUDNESS level. Its too damn quiet for my taste, especially when i`m in a loud environment (like on streets etc.)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neoxx3m:
I don't have problem with loudness, but i have problem with keyboard vibrate level. No mather how I set it it's allways the same.

Dynamic™Rom For Xperia P By Xperia Team Pixel. i just want to test it ~
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AwesomeTurtle:
I am literally getting a netbook next week for the primary purpose of rooting this phone (what I'll use the netbook for afterward remains a mystery. Maybe I'll turn it into a NAS or something). I've owned this phone for exactly a week now and I am more in love with this device than I've been with any Android device I've laid hands on.

Edit: Neat fact. Not sure if this is covered in the phone's manual, but you can activate WhiteMagic as a manual brightness setting by simply upping the brightness on the phone past 60%. You'll notice that around that mark, the screen gets darker instead brightening up. This is because once you hit that mark, the white subpixel activates and starts over from 'Darkest'; everything before that point is just RGB brightness with the white subpixel turned off (According to Sony, natural light will pass through the deactivated white subpixels, which helps further brighten the display pre-WhiteMagic). One thing you will notice, though, is that once WhiteMagic is on, color loses its definition; Reds/Greens/Blues aren't as Red/Green/Blue as they once were. The trade-off is a really intense white and slightly deeper blacks.

Got mine as well .. and my first post

Got my xperia P today from infibeam and it came installed with ICS 4.0.4 and firmware 6.1.B.0.544 and the import date on the package is Aug' 12. Happy to be part of the xperia P family :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] acervenky:
Good To see that FXP has fixed GSM and WiFi.

Sry but you guys will need to wait a little bit for MIUI and AOKP.

I was trying to compile them on stock based firmware but now I have a new base CM 9.1 and Remember FXP said that after they make CM 9.1 stable they will start working on CM 10.

So for now I am recompiling the roms.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 100nandoo:
I am an android hardcore user, gamer too.

1. My budget is 350$.

2. Really has multitouch.

3. Fast (for heavy gaming).

4. Has secondary camera.

Accoding to my opinion, they are:

1. Xperia P

2. Xperia Play

3. Xperia neo L

4. Galaxy S Advance

but I still don't know which one is the best for me? Help me!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] acervenky:
Xperia Play and Neo L have single core processors so I would not recommend these two phones.

Xperia P and Galaxy S Advance Remain.

Xperia P : Aluminiun Unibody(Not like plasticky Galaxy)

Xperia P : qHD resolution and better ppi

Xperia P : 8 MP Camera with Recording upto 1080p(Not like 5 MP Of SGA)

Xperia P : Whitemagic Display.(Much brighter than SGA's Amoled Screen)

Xperia P : Android 4.0 (Not like 2.3 on SGA)Samsung is very slow to update their phones(4.1 will take time)

Xperia P : Build quality is unique(Illumination Bar)Not like all Galaxies

Xperia P : Has NFC

Xperia P : Has micro-HDMI port

SGA : Expandable Memory(I don't fell 12 GB on Xperia P is less:D)

SGA : 1500 mAh Battery (1350 mAh on P But in day to day life P's battery life is better due to its display)

I would suggest SXP or you can yourself decide from points stated above:D

i am on stock 4.04 and i am facing notification issue on my xperia p!

when rebooting my phone after 2-3 hours of use my messaging and whatsapp notification sound goes off and my phone only vibrates!

anyone is having the same issue?

please help!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IdeosDev:
Without Creating Another Thread.

I make a survery on market which Xperia P is one of the midrange best priced device and specs somehow are better then competitor

But There's few thing i would personally need to know without blindly buying it

1.Battery Is 1320Mah report( Daily Usage/Wifi) can last more then a day? On Xperia Arc i can use almost 2 day but it's 1500mAh

2.Camera.It's an Exmor R camera but it's features such as the Xperia S?

3.Any user experience and thoughs about it? Especially it's running on a NovaThor which new processor on the market.

Hope get positive feedback.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
1. Battery isnt great tbh, but the phone does charge really quickly, and sony have implemented an extended standby mode which basically turns off data and stuff when your phones been locked for 15 minutes, this really helps and sony claim it can prolong life by 4 times, not sure about that but really works well for me. You'll need to charge this daily without fail with heavy usage.

2. I cant comment on it in comparison to the Xperia S but i've seen some pictures taken by the SXS and i wasnt all that impressed, they werent the best despite 12megapixels, this phone(SXP) has a pretty good camera but it doesnt always produce photos as good as the iphone on auto settings i find. But if you play around with the manual settings its very capable.

3. I think its a very good mid range phone, at the right size (4inches) and i dont see any phone out atm in its price range that i'd pick out. If you can live with the battery life you should be fine. It supports most apps on the market, but there are a small few HD games the phone wont run, but like i said it is small in my opinion. The issue i have with this phone is that i get the impression not many people have it, you might see this as an advantage, but i think we lose out thanks to this as we dont have as many devs as other devices, and there just doesnt seem to be many custom roms worth flashing if any at the moment, but the stock firmware has served me well so far :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IdeosDev:
It's setting of camera enable to select for iso?

I think should need external charger but overall it's quite well...those dev will land soon as Novathor is something new..chainfire3d maybe possible getting those to work
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LilBlinx:
yes you can select iso. Many games are playable with chainfire
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IdeosDev:
This might be next device i gonna own and get something work out.

Getting into budget for this phone.

Considering the battery solution is to have an external charger :crying:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
How heavy is your usage, external charger hasnt ever been something i'd consider, its just that this is a charge over night phone, and better results can be achieved if you keep your brightness down, the good thing about the display is its still bright even at lower settings, and with the extended standby mode i talked about before you should get through everyday unless you constantly have the phone awake
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IdeosDev:
I am still confuse with the white magic.

It does provide twice brightness because has extra led inside it but does it use twice battery to power them?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
Im not 100 percent sure about the techonology in the screen, but you dont need to use the phone at full brightness, unless say you were under bright sunlight and wanted to increase your visibility so most of the time if you're on auto brightness you wont be using all the power the white magic display can use when at full brightness, dunno if that answers your question
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] NABENDU1:
The white magic technology has been debated for a number of times on this forum !! i would like to make you and others understand how the white magic works and why shouldnt it be called a so called FLAWED Technology

White Magic delivers a maximum brightness of 900 to 1000nits and it is twice as bright as iphone and three to four times as bright as samsung galaxies. It delivers you insane brightness levels, beyond good and evil.

Sony could simply limit the brightness to some 50-60% of the current levels and give you an accurate color but worse sunlight readability, and would still be head and shoulders above most of the competition.

Instead they chose to give their users even more brightness reserve for situations where they need it and suddenly it is a huge flaw. Go figure. It is like buying a 4WD and then complaining that ride offroad was not so smooth as on the highway

Magic or not, technology has it's limitations. Traditional LCD's have color filters over each of their subpixels. Those filters let only something like 20-30% of the light through, the rest (over 70%) is just wasted. This is horribly inefficent even before we factor in the crystal matrix (another 50% waste on top), diffusor, polarizers, cover glass etc. This means a lot of the power in running the LED's is completely wasted !!

What Sony did is to put a fourth subpixel without filter alongside of three others. Without filter it is 3 times more efficient as others and additionaly has better spectral purity. Every color is a mix of three primary colors. Like for example violet is 31% Red, 18% Green and 31% Blue. Or 18% white plus 13% red and 13% blue. So you could reduce background illumination and still get the same brightness.

Of course it is not as simple as it sounds, because for solid colors (or colors with 0% of R, G or B) white pixel is useless. And if you have such pixels on the screen then you actually can't save anything unless you do a selective dimming of backlight illumination. Hence basically stated that the fourth pixel increases the efficiency by almost 3 times of the RGB display but the reduced consumption of battery would be around just 40 to 50%

You still can cheat and add some white anyway, but the result will be a shift in colors and light bleeding. But our eyes are not perfect, so Sony can probably get away with it to the certain levels.

You start to notice only when getting close to the limits, like those 75%, where colored pixels can't keep up anymore. Remember - they are three times darker as white ones. Sony could either stop there and refuse to mix even more white for additional brightness, or they can mix a bit more and give additional brithness at the cost of color accuracy. I glad they did, I can opt to limit the maximum brightness myself.

Hope you find my post usefl and informative !!!:cowboy:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] noob_syboot:
Solid reply, with one basic mistake GREEN is not a primary color, its made from blue and yellow :p ;)

(No offense nor disrespect, just for fun) :D :D :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IdeosDev:
Nice and complete answer but to the main point

Extra Leds boosting the screen will increase battery usage life?

Asking this because it has modest 1.3kmAh which is really can't keep up with the specs beneath the device.

Even Xperia Arc has 1500mAh
