Yeah I am also talking about it. That widget itself sucks too much battery and drains battery. It takes almost 20 MB of ram even when we are not using it.
[Sony Xperia L] .::Ash::.:
Yeah it does use a lot of RAM but it does more good than bad. I hope they release a more optimized version, that would be very good.
[Sony Xperia L] sudhamsu:
do try Qualcomm Snapdragon BatteryGuru (available on Play Store), seems to do the trick for me. This combined with STAMINA mode that Sony offers, I can sail through the day easily with enough battery left in the end.
[Sony Xperia L] GuestD2041:
I don't know why everyone complains so much about battery life. I get about 3-4 days out of a charge with medium usage. WTF is wrong with me? :p

See the attachments:
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
What do you use man? how the hell did you got so much battery backup?
[Sony Xperia L] GuestD2041:
I don't use a software that promises battery save, only the tools provided by Sony in power management.

Also, brightness is at 0% or at the worst auto-mode. I switched off all the bloatware by Sony + Google Chrome.

And last but not least, I do full charges and un-charges.

Those dark days with the X10 Mini Pro taught me some things, lol!

[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
But everybody recommends that we shouldn't discharge our phone completely as it might be harmful
[Sony Xperia L] GuestD2041:
I didn't say I discharge it completely. In the previous screens, I was just outside the house, so I couldn't charge it at all.

Usually I do the charges below 10-15% depending on where I am.

But, yeah, Li-Ion batteries should be fully discharged at least once every 30 charges (give or take), based on what I have read here or in other forums.

Hi!

The past days, I also have the same problem as you guys have..But then, after I did this, my battery does not drain that much..

After 20hrs on Stamina Mode, about 2-3hrs 1-2hrs of gaming, 2-3hrs 1-2hrs of 3G surfing, and downloaded from google play about 150MB, i still have about 58% of battery life on my XL..i know that does not count that much, but it was really a lot compare to the recent days i am using it..

I don't have any installed apps to kill recent apps..i just swipe out the application on the App button( the one on the right side of the home button with two rectangle) and that's it! I even keep the running applications on the application setting to run on its own.. :victory:

Hope this one helps you! Just hit the Get Mad button.. :D

:highfive:

Edit:

Additional

My brightness is zero since XL is still okay with this setting..
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Your battery backup is too much dude. I don't know how can you even get it. Even my brightness is set at zero
[Sony Xperia L] signashoes007:
Try it sir..So that it could be conclude that this will help saving battery life..:highfive:

One more thing, I tried sending via Bluetooth with Stamina Mode, and it does not send successfully..need to turn off the Stamina Mode first before it can send..:D

---------- Post added at 06:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 AM ----------

sorry dude, it just only about 1-2hrs of gaming, not 2-3hrs.. sorry for this.. same with web browsing.. also 1-2hrs only.. i will edit it.. :crying:

[Sony Xperia L] saurabh007:
I got around 22 hours of battery with stamina mode on and mobile data on for 5-6 hours
[Sony Xperia L] eftaxias:
I have tested my phone in many ways and here are my results:

Battery drain:

Stand by (no stamina mode): -1%/hour

Stand by (STAMINA mode): -0,4%/hour

Hard use with brightness 100% (3g/wifi open, bluetooth open): -29%/hour

Hard use with brightness 50% (same use): -23%/hour

AnTuTu Battery Test (100% Brightness and full 100% CPU use): -35%/hour (and 50,4 degrees Celcious (???))

I dont think it is a good battery at all, for hard users!

Hello so i got this wakelock problem with my phone, the battery management shows that the screen is constantly active. Anyone got a solution?
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Well I would say that remove Hangouts or Talk application if you don't use it and check some other apps which restrict your phone from deep sleep. And if you have unlocked bootloader then flash Vengeance kernel, it seriously improves battery life.
[Sony Xperia L] thedao:
I will try that but I already flashed vengeance.

Edit: looks like i already have removed those apps.
[Sony Xperia L] MrViki:
Phone process

Hello, my Xperia L battery last maximum 1 day because of the "phone" app that prevents the OS to go to sleep mode. Only few minutes of talk per day but almost 20 hours of keeping the phone on and not in a sleep mode.

Any recommendation how to solve this? Only thing that helps temporary is to restart the phone but it helps only for a few hours and it starts again.

I tried some task killer apps but not solving the problem...

Thank you for any suggestions.
[Sony Xperia L] thedao:
Hello looks like the wakelock stills occur even if I delete hangout and talk app. Do anyone an other solution?
[Sony Xperia L] karkand:

[Sony Xperia L] saurabh007:
6 days?

It seems you do not watch videos, play music or take photos.. :p
[Sony Xperia L] heross:
at this time my XL it's just an expensive alarm clock. :cool: I wait for a better systemui before it is my daily driver.
[Sony Xperia L] SharpnShiny:
I want to say that that is cool but I think it is not.

I don't see the display in the top 5 battery users. Can you tell us your 'screen on time'? :confused:

That to me looks like an unused phone, like it sits in your pocket for 3 days or on a table. That does not represent the battery accurately and it could give people false hope.

One area that concerns me with the battery of this phone is web browsing and video playback. For video playback, on the Sony site, they quote 7 hours 30 minutes. With GSM Arena, they say they tested the phone and got only 4 hours 45 minutes.

I have looked into the tests that both Sony and GSM Arena have used for the phone. They are not exactly the same. For web usage, the difference is clear. Sony uses the GSM Association's test method for measuring battery performance. It involves refreshing a web page every 20 seconds. With GSM Arena, they refresh a page every 10 seconds. That's pretty 'active' browsing to me. It seems to stress the battery. Typically these tests leave auto brightness on and turn every other feature in the phone off. Video performance I can not tell how Sony and GSM Arena reached such different performance measurments.

Since it is a tip thread for advise, the single most impressive battery supporting tip that I can give is to disable data when you don't use it. Sony's Stamina app will do that just fine. Nothing that I have ever done has had greater effect that killing the data sucking apps.

One more thing - I wondered what everyone was talking about regarding 'battery backup'. :confused: In English, that makes no sense whatsoever. I think - but I'm not sure - people mean to say 'battery performance' or 'battery rating' or 'battery usage'. Battery backup means absolutely nothing. ;)

[Sony Xperia L] :
It's not, because the brightness level I use is 0%. I don't need the screen to be a flash light.

The phone is used for calls(heavy usage), browsing with WiFi (mostly), music, as a camera and some games from time to time.

I don't use the phone for video playback, as I have a PC with a full-HD screen, so I don't need to.

Web browsing is to be done with Opera Mini or Dolphin for sites with HTLM5 and JavaScript.

Typically, I get at least two or three days with normal/heavy usage.

Sorry for my "aggressive" tone here, but if you need a phone that is a coffee maker, a Batmobile and a media station at the same time, you are some years too early. I was planning to do that, haha :P
[Sony Xperia L] SharpnShiny:
I agree with you buddy, with games I'm just the same, no phone game looks good to me after using a huge Bravia tv with PS3. :laugh:

I still don't know how your display doesn't appear in your battery top 5. What settings do you use? Auto brightness?
[Sony Xperia L] :
0% at all times. And the screen is really bright!

If I recall correctly, the highest % the battery has drained was about 10%, when I had a "marathon" on Subway Surfers.
[Sony Xperia L] Kiicek:
Question! Exactly how smart Xperia L battery and charger are? Does the charger automatically stop charging when battery is full? And if charger is plugged without the cord, does it suck energy?

Wytapane z Xperii L.
[Sony Xperia L] SharpnShiny:
I read this in one of the Sony leaflets a few phones ago, yes, the power does stop when the phone reports itself as 100% charged. It's a special 'ecological' type charger.
[Sony Xperia L] saurabh007:
I get 24 hours+ battery backup nowadays!!

It's just that you need to give time to the battery until it starts working at its full potential..

Earlier I used to get 12 hours and now after almost 2 months I get 24 hours backup (Although there is just little bit of decrease in usage/screentime)..

And I haven't updated my phone to 2.17 yet..
[Sony Xperia L] Kidy973:
Hi,

I would like to know how is battery life with new update. Increase or not that much ?

Cause i hesitate with Xperia M but battery life is really important and in GSMarena test, xperia M is far ahead but XL was test with his old firmware.

Bump!

Someone here interested in convincing me to buy this one (over XM for eg.) despite it's battery drawbacks? It's for my dad so battery is pretty important.

Imo, the "Phone" wakelock happens after you switch off your data setting. A reboot always solves it, and switching to air-plane mode migth do it too (don't remember.)

Give it a try.

App? Kernel?

Hello, guys!

I am a new user of Sony Xperia L. I wonder if you use some app to improve battery life. Or just the tools that Sony provides.

If there are any kernel version 4.2.2 available for 15.3.A.0.26. For what I tried to use the wifi does not work :(

About DeepSleep, I do not know very well, could someone explain me?

Thank you ;)
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:

Thank you, Joel! By patience, especially, haha​​.

Unfortunately I need to use a translator to post. I can understand what I'm reading, however, is more complicated to write, haha.

Well, everything worked out for your tutorial. Now my question is whether I need to do something. Change something in the configuration, etc ...

Once again, thank you!
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Glad to help pal. Nope that's all.you need, once you've got the kernel installed that's pretty much it unless there are any extra modules. You should flash Thunderzap Kernel (3.0), I heard that it has a better battery backup, just flash the zip file via CWM like in the tutorial :)
[Sony Xperia L] Patrick Pereira:
Ah, yes, the fewer things better. I am installing this kernel you recommended me. Soon I edit ;)

Edit: I installed apparently is working perfectly. But I saw in CPU Z that the clock is 384 MHz - 1.57 GHz Despite Core 0 and Core 1 are working at 1026 MHz But is that right?

It is necessary that I installed some app to modify something or just enjoy? xD
[Sony Xperia L] Hackner:
Well, thats the range of possible clock speeds the CPU can work at. Download from the playstore some CPU control app and you can tweak it as you like. I use Simple CPU control and i just leave the governor at "on demand". It really helps on the battery backup.

Where are you from? I know someone called Patrick Pereira....
[Sony Xperia L] Patrick Pereira:
Ah, ok! I took a look at Kernel Tuner. The kernel releases the OC, but not with OC. The cores are working on 1026MHz. Being that sometimes one even off, I think everything is just right. And the governors is to ON DEMAND. What about the O/I? Can I change to SIO? Is in CFQ.

HAHA, I'm from Brazil! :p

Thanks for the support.

Hi. My girlfirend has a problem with buttery in her Xperia L. When she connect phone to wifi everything is ok, but if disconnect and phone use mobile data instead wifi, phone has huge battery drain and RILJ wakelock. Firstly I thought that it was a problem with stock rom, so I change it to CM12 but it doesn't help. In this night is over 40% lost, I know signal is weak, but it happen every time, even if signal is good. I thought that Facebook Messenger causes this drain, because it was on the first place in battery stats, but I uninstalled it and it didn't help, now it is google services. Any advice?

[Q] 关于i500扩展ram 已经1080p硬解码

中国有个人研究出来 但是他没有共享 所以我们用不上了

在此我原文转发一下他帖子的内容 希望xda的大师们能研究出来

*Galaxy S盖世一代 超级内存再生技术 和 1080p视频硬解。

超级内存再生技术利用Galaxy S中最高速的RAM，等效约3.0GB/s的带宽，内存速度和性能0损失，目前实际系统可识别440MB（未来有望达450+M），加上内存分享技术，在Galaxy S设备上实现与768M内存机器（可识别550M左右）无差别的体验。

1080P视频硬解技术，也是一项在Galaxy S设备实现的重要突破。能硬解1080p相当于硬解性能与手机高端CPU无异（山寨RK的寨板不在手机范围内）

蜂鸟处理器在一些机器，如P1000,i997,Epic4G，均无压力1080P硬解。但对于标准的Galaxy S设备，如i9000/i897/t959/i500/i400等均无法1080p硬解。

私人优化，盖世一代的硬解已经能达ref=16，而普通P1000只能ref=6。ref指视频参考帧，测试视频性能时重要指标。

经过个多月的研究，已经基本稳定，无聊放出图赏。
