I wouldn't say thats a good question since answer to that is obvious. My phone runs 5-6 days if I don't touch it much, few calls, messages thats it. If I use it for browsing, tasks, etc I can get down battery in 12-14 hours easy. When I went to work yesterday for example I had 100% charged battery, 5-6 hours later the battery was drained completely. It just depends on what you use it for.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emperror123:
actually my battery life for xperia v is depend on usage,

but mine at least can upto 13 hours which is from 9am until around 10 or 11pm
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] -CMX:
All I did to my phone was replace xperia home with smart launcher and uninstall Facebook. I am a light user, just simple browsing, texting and a couple of minute long calls. I am amazed with the battery.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] datagubben:
I have no screenshot today, but feel like the .145 for Xperia V is much better than .140
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spotja:
With mild gaming and browsing on mobile network only (EDGE) that's what I could get.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Stealth Booter:
WOW! Way better than mine!

This is CM 10.1.2 and I believe this battery life is quite impressive. I played a game, listened to music on speakers, and a little bit on earphones, also took a couple of photos. Only about 3 random reboots so far.

I didn't use my phone too heavily. Not much multitasking. But data was on for about half the time.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Olburgs:
I am quite dissapointed with the battery life tbh :( just game a bit and the battery is drained in an hour or two.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] devilmaycry2020:
why android system use too much battery , another is Media

please help ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spotja:
Ironically, Extended Standby Mode is one of the causes. It's sole purpose is to disable data traffic. However, you can manually toggle mobile data. So uncheck Extended Standby Mode.

In settings, under Sounds uncheck: vibrate when ringing, and the last 4 checkboxes. It should be better:beer:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Olburgs:
Also Google Play services uses around 40 procent of my battery. What is it doing?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Olburgs:
Now with screenshot. 40 procent for 11h uptime and 3 text messages. Sad :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] turvytopsy:
Extended Standby does far more than just turn off mobile data. While the screen is off, It also disables Wifi, suspends all background syncing, and most importantly, closes running processes and prevents them from starting again.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] immerblind:
ehm yeah, juicedefender? 11%? how about uninstalling that, why you would need such app?

that app should save battery, if i understand right? but it drains 11% at your handy, 3rd place. that some sort of pointless, you not think so?

and i see fb drains battery, uuuh. ok thats personal taste,you need that app maybe

in my opinion all of that battery saving apps are pointless, not sure if i stand alone with that opinion :rolleyes:

and how long your screen on time?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Olburgs:
It keeps my 3G at bay. Kinda like that though, else my apps just keeps on updating all day long. Maybe that's also the reason why Play services uses sooo much battery drain.

Is there a way to set google update intervals to max 1 time a day? Or maybe the google services are due to the gmail installed?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spotja:
No "battery-saving" apps. This is my best screen on time without continuous use. Surfed with Mobile data (EDGE) most of the time no WiFi:p

I'm finding it hard to upload screenshots
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nidzo80:
What do you think about Greenify application? I'm using it but I can't tell is it helping or not.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spotja:
EDIT: Here are the screenshots, stock, no root, locked bootloader.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spotja:
I've used greenify app on my Motorola Defy. It helps save power by keeping selected apps hibernated. Basically, you'll lose some power from apps running on background creating unwanted wakelocks. I have gave up root on Xperia V (failed with Bin4ry and Motochopper method). If I could root it, I'd install greenify in an instant.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spromper:
i have it installed at the moment and i added al the apps which i don't need running in the background. For me that's every app except mail, whatsapp, snapchat and dropbox. It really helped reducing wakelocks and it extended my standbytime but, i don't get more screentime with it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spotja:
My best battery life yet
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] meekspace:
Good battery life? I must be doing something wrong.

I have my phoned plugged in and charging and I'm watching the percentage go down about 1% per 2 minutes.

The screen is on automatic. I've just reset my phone so it is restoring all the apps on 3g.

Prior to that, plugged in and charging overnight with the music player on with headphones the battery will be down to 30% by morning.

Watching a 40 minute tv show does the same thing.

I've had the phone for less than a week and so far I'm not impressed
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spromper:
I had the same battery life the first few weeks. What i did was disable touch sounds because mediaserver was draining my battery and after that the batterylife became pretty awesome. I can get two whole days and 3-3,5 hours of screen time with extended standbymode on, partly 3g and partly wifi and this was before rooting the phone. I'm still happy that i did't spend more on htc one or xperia Z.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] meekspace:
Disabling the touch sounds was one of the first things I did.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] k_basara:

Does anyone use avast! here? Looks like it's more active in the background than I thought.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] meekspace:
I use Lookout.

I don't mind so much that it's heavy on the battery.

What really bugs me is that it uses power quicker than you can recharge it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] k_basara:
Read your post in #267.

I'm also using LT29i and power drains faster than recharging is a little bit beyond my imagination.

Did you try the following:

Flash a stock rom, do a factory reset, replace the battery and usb cable?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] meekspace:
The phone is new straight out of the box. New phone, new battery, new usb cable.

I just got an Xperia T on the three network

I was able to kill the battery in 3 hours just looking around and installing apps from my old phone

Im unable to update it from 9.1.A.1.140

and it got hot enough for me to worry about it getting damaged

on top of that the :silly:ing bootloaders hardlocked

Sooooooo it looks like iv got my work cut out lol
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
running CM10.1 I get about 55 hours with a screen ON time of about 2:30 hours and low usage: whatsapp everyday (not massive), a few calls per day, data always on but most of the time 2G only, no sync, auto brightness, airplane mode at night (about 8 hours)

I'm very happy with that :)

just one thing, once completely discharged, using the original wall charger and NOT touching the phone at all, it takes about 4 hours to get completely charged.. for you is the same? about 4 hours for a full charge?

that's a lot and only thing I don't like so much.. :( my previous phone took about 2 hours to get completely charged.. :crying:

others with xperia t can tell me how long does it take for them for a full charge? thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] n70shan:
2 hours maximum... With 4 hours on screen time one day full.usage
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
thanks for the answer.. but I guess you are on stock JB, right?

btw after some battery cycles it seems now it takes 3 hours for a full charge and not anymore 4 hours.. so now is accetable I would say :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] n70shan:
u must want to fck your phone hard...thats y you r charging for 24 hours....no one should charge phone for more then 2 or 2.5 hours it is harmfull.....

So, everyone does this and that and they get super battery life. And everyone has a different result.

Instead of seeing how long the battery can last for, let's see who can get can their battery flat the quickest!

It would be nice if I could get my battery to last half as long as some of you claim.

But in the real world, if you stream a video over 3g, the battery will be dead before you get to see who shot the good guy.

I don't need to know that if I don't use my phone the battery will last a week.I need to know how to make the battery last longer when you use it.

It's driving me crazy. Everyday I wake up with more grey hair! The only solution I have so far that works is to purchase two spare batteries.

So now if I don't use my phone it will last a month before I have to recharge the first battery!

PS. Just typing this message in the dark used 6% of the battery.

For better screen on time decrease grafics cpu speed.

2 h 11 m screen-on

64 % charge left
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] meekspace:
How do you do this?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
I use Android Tuner. 400 Mhz -> 200 Mhz,

Background: The CPU auto-adjusts itself by governor. But the GPU runs always full speed, most of the time just for keeping a relatively static screen image up. Poogle/Sony tweak minor items, such as battery level % non-display in status bar, or background data queuing, resulting in great saving in the range of 0.3 %. The part which is using by far most juice ... they don't do anything.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
My Xperience is that 4.3 uses somewhat more power than previous versions. Alone the number integrated apps/functions to locate us, profile us, background-communication with Google and Sony servers has increased a lot. That costs battery. .295 for me had a good sleep stats, but personally and with my usual apps installed I did not manage to get .199 below 3 - 5 % overnight draw. Such as this one, which I consider the best ROM I ever had.

I've got TL (LT30at) and my battery drains 100%-0% with just over 2 hours of screen time (40-50%/hr drain). My normal day is about 1 hour of screen time and 7-8 hours of standby to get me from 100% to 30%. How do you people get such results?!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
- reduce screen brightness

- look in settings -> apps -> running + cached and see what can be removed / disabled

- switch off wifi / mobile date when not in use

- download wakelock detector and check what else uses system resources

- use stamina, and airplane mode at night
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bsined:
- Screen brightness is set to auto. Most of the time it's dimmer than the lowest.

- I'm using Greenify already because I'm running short on RAM (<150MB was available before).

- See the attached screenshots for all the glory of my system performance. Also, notice the system time and battery level changes from screenshot to screenshot. (Sorry for the strange brightness - I didn't know that Twilight projects a colored overlay onto the screen rather than changing the video signal.)

- Stamina is on at all times. What's the point of airplane mode when the phone is supposed to receive signal?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spotja:
A bad signal coupled with mobile data(LTE) always on are sure as hell gonna eat your battery. Do You always have to have mobile data on? If so, why not leave it on 3G. When you're at a place where you know there's no network coverage I suggest you put it on airplane mode. Is your battery life the same when you're just using wifi?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bsined:
The bad signal was a bit unexpected - I was at an event in a basement for a couple of hours. I have Stamina on - isn't it supposed to turn off data radio when the screen is off? I've tried Gravitybox's SmartRadio to switch me to 2G/3G when screen is off but it didn't seem to work.

Is there a way to automate airplane mode switching on when there's no network coverage? I created a Tasker task but I'm not sure it'll work.

I haven't tried having just wi-fi on, but that won't be an option when I'm outside of my home.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
Every time cell connection is weak or lost, the device will search and transmit full power for getting a good cell connection again. This can take a couple of minutes, and it use significant resources until a good connection is established and power settles. If your device has to do this a number of times system battery usage will go havoc.

IMO, forget about any auto-switching of 2/3 G or LTE. Or off-switching. Unless you know you will not have connection for an extended time.

Airplane mode is for night-time (sleep) usage when we should sleep, or for other extended off-times, not to bridge temporary cell connection problems.

I have abt 3 - 5 % with stamina on and no airplane mode over night. With airplane mode on I get 0 -1 % battery usage in 7 h. Savings are not really thaaat big. The biggest user should be the screen. But in your case, you seem to have a service running which keeps you system busy all the time.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bsined:
Well, as you can see in the screenshots, it's a system service so I'm at loss why I'm the only one with this issue. A rogue app would've been much easier to ID. What CPU governor do you use? Any recommendations on what to use to throttle down CPU & GPU on 4.3?

Also, I did unscientific testing of screen battery drain in touch recovery: it took about 3 minutes to drain 1% of battery on medium-low brightness with no operations taking place and all radios obviously being off. That's about 2-3 times slower than when the phone is running normally, but that still translates to 4-6 hours of just the screen being on, which will drop dramatically with radios on and some CPU usage.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bsined:
I did a 100% clean install of 4.3 ROM (includes some 4.4.2 ported parts), debloat, set CPU governor to powersave and didn't add any accounts to test the battery:

- Stamina ON, LTE ON, location ON, sync OFF, left the phone by the window for max reception - drain is about 3-4%/hr in standby

- Stamina ON, Airplane ON, everything OFF - drain is barely 1%/hr in standby, and 1% for every 4-5 minutes of the screen being on (even less drain than in recovery).

So it seems like something is burning the battery when radios are on. How can I find out which particular process uses the CPU over a period of time?
