I think the problem is stamina mode not activating properly. When I use the phone with stamina turned off the battery drains the same amount.

Does anyone know of a way to check that stamina mode is running besides the option in menu?

just like how some devices are having problems with the touchscreen, its safe to say that this is also a hardware problem. it doesnt make sense for the battery to drain around 20% overnight when its doing nothing (yes i've checked for wakelocks, betterbatterystats show my device is in deep sleep most of the time). i've even underclocked the processor and the only difference i see is faster charging

Sony peria SP - SPlendid.

Well, got mine on Sunday. Put it on charger, then flashed generic ROM, disabled GAPS(except Gmail& Talk) and very happy with battery back up...

Same problem here, at least until this afternoon. I read a suggestion somewhere to uninstall the Google maps updates to go back to version 6, since the ominous thing behind Google play services is com.google.process.location (or something similar). I did that and look at my improved battery....

[EDIT] Nevermind, just exchanged one problem for another. Now it's "Android OS" that's taking between 65 and 75% of battery when I'm doing absolutely nothing with my phone >_<
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spix123:
It depends what has most usage before the phone is idle.

If you leave the phone idle right away after full charge then check after 12 hours you will see very little drop in battery. If you use it for 20min then leave idle the battery will drop alot. It makes no sense whatsoever.

The battery also doesn't drain evenly. Sometimes I see 20% loss by just using the phone for 5mins, other times I see 0 or 1%. No intensive apps running, just browsing the menu's + looking at battery apps to try solve this annoying problem.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heross:
Hello,

i think Accu problems come from Android 4.1. I have any other device with 4.1 and there the same. One Day is good and on other day the drain begins, a day later all is good, .... Accudrain come and go only with Simcard in the Phone. Without Simcard Android 4.1 sleep nice. (see screenshot XSP)

In December will come a update to 4.3? And I think all problems will gone at December. So long i use my other device and XSP is only my Alarmclock. ;)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spix123:

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heross:

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spix123:
Update

I was able to get 4 days 4 hours and have 34% battery left. Then I recharged.. no changes made to the phone and only managed just over 1 day before the battery was down to 5%. Similar screen time.

As usual battery stats are not showing the problem, the battery just drained way too fast in standby. When I got 4 days it was about 0.5%-1% per hour, now 2-4% per hour.

I don't know if its sony's fault or android, hopefully the 4.3 update will fix it.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heross:
I think this problem will gone with update to 4.3.

All 4.1 rom i have seen on any device will begin accudrain after any day in use and the cause is not to fathom with BBS or other wakelockdetector app. But what is curious, once you remove the sim and let wifi constantly be on, the problem disappears under 4.1. :confused:

Just suggestion..

Hi, very interesting to read your thread here. Very hard to find someone who try so hard to investigate some problem like this. Im agree with you,

our battery usage depend on how we use our phone before and after we charge it. From what i observe, android system will scan our media in frequently time after we have some media added or remove, maybe from whatsapp, google app, email, etc, or by picture that have been taken with camera. More worse, if we have hundred of email with attachment and so on that sync in background.. but more worse if our sdcard contain corrupted media. Android system will continuously scan it and wake up our phone from deep sleep. So just try to remove your sdcard and format internal memory if you can, sign out from google account, whatsapp etc, then dont touch your phone for half hour until it fully charge. turn of wifi, just keet simcard but off mobile data. Then give it a test for one night. Observe your battery usage at the morning.. If problem still occour, it must be your battery of hardware problem. If OK, then try reverse all action one by one. The best thing to do before, repair your phone using SUS, or root then install CWM, flash stock rom with do format everything before. FYI im using Xperia ION with rooted stock deodex rom, still have good battery condition, almost 99% battery life i think, after i used it for 1 year and 2 month with very hard use, some time need to charge 4 time a day because im used as hotspot to 2 others laptop and 3 handset. (this happend in 6 month already). If not, im just loose 1% for 12 hours or more.. I think sony give us very good battery quality..

Please PM me if u already tried my suggestion. Im already interested to know if your problem get solve or not.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tifil:
Hi everyone,

I charged my phone 38min ago, and I lost 10%. I only used evernote to create one note, some sms (about 10).

I think it's too much, right ? 10% lost only for this 2 apps, in use maybe 5 min, and offscreen 33min.

Here's the screen.

So, what's your opinion ?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spix123:
If screen was used only 5 minutes then it shouldn't report 40%. I notice I get about 5 minutes screen per 1% with light usage and about medium brightness.

I think maybe you are encountering same issue as me where battery drains fast in idle.

Try the app wakelock detector, I find it very useful. Once installed go to settings to enable Android processes also.

I also recommend that you disable stamina mode. It makes battery readings very inaccurate especially after screen is off for a while and didn't see any improvement using it.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tifil:
I installed the wakelock app, but now what I do with this app, do you want a screen ?

And, with the stamnia mode on, it tell me I have 3 days and 4 hours of battery life, and without, only 19 hours, so do I really disable it ?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipesh1502:
Never disable your stamina mod.

It will always help you in saving a lot of battery...

And wakelock detector helps you detect the apps which prevent the phone from sleeping...

Keep a check on the apps which cause wakelocks and freeze or greenify them;)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
Your problem is the same as mine. GTALK_CONN is keeping the device awake. I still havent figured out how to fix this since I disabled almost all the google stuff (search, Plus,, Now)

1013 ya even i have got it

And i dont know wat it means:P

But the other apps like gmail,fb,smart connect keep running and causing wakelocks.

If u dont use them better freeze or greenify them.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tifil:
If I switch off this apps, when I'll reboot my phone, all this apps, will appear again.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipesh1502:
Switch off means what exactly?

Better freeze them using titanium backup or link2sd
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tifil:
What does it mean freeze ?

It's for everytime ? So, if I freeze facebook for exemple, I could launch it again ? or not ?

And, how do I freeze with titanium ?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipesh1502:
Freeze means the app starts running in backround..but u cant use it

Its in your phone but not usable.

Greenify means if you greenify an app it will run only when you open that app and wont alow it to run in backround..
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tifil:
Now, I understand all.

So, it's better to greenify it. I'll try this app, and I will tell you, if my battery life change or not.

Stamina mode does not help sp battery life unless you have alot of apps installed which use the phone @ idle. I've tested it alot and there is no difference for me. It makes battery readings bad though (I think stamina stops the phone being able to update battery % when idle so it has to readjust when you start using the phone again, this makes it seem like you lose alot of battery doing nothing but actually it was already drained)

I think I may have fixed it. Last night I uninstalled google+ but still drained overnight, now 2 hours ago I restarted the phone. I noticed the 'Google play services' has renamed itself to just Google services, also the icon changed. When I put the phone idle it was 76% now 2 hours later it is still 76%, normally it would have lost 4-6%.

It might just be temporary like the other 2 times I thought I fixed it... we'll see.

Btw I tried restarting the phone several times before but it never made a difference, I think it needed a restart to properly get rid of google+
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipesh1502:
Stamina mod works for me..i get a better battery life with it

developer.sonymobile.com/2013/04/03/how-sonys-battery-stamina-mode-works/
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spix123:
If you ask me it doesn't live up to its expectations, more marketing than anything else.

When you enable stamina mode it tells you 4 days standby... but in reality it doesn't give you that. And after 2 or 3 charge cycles estimated standby with stamina is the same as without.

The only time I got good battery life with this XP I had stamina disabled (4 days with 33% left)

Now I try with stamina and can't get over 1 day. I know its not staminas fault.. but its not helping either.

It might help if you have certain apps installed but with a new phone it doesn't.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spix123:
Omg I just checked it again and now 77%.

Uninstalling google+ makes your phone charge itself :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tifil:
I uninstalled google + and restard after, but, I lost 3% in 1minute, I'm doing nothing, not running an app, a game...

And, another question, with greenify, I can't greenify some apps like youtube, facebook, gmail...

This apps, doesn't appear in the greenify app.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipesh1502:
Yes because u cant greenify system app with the free version.

You need to have the donated version for that;):P

Have you tried turning off stamina? It makes battery % readings not accurate
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tifil:

And without stamina, I lost 8%, only using evernote, and 30 sec of wifi and bluetooth.

My battery life was better with the stamina mode.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spix123:
If you are losing 3 or 8% in 1 minute then something else is wrong, also stamina shouldn't help at all when screen is on

Post picture of your battery stats

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spix123:
What is your screen on time? That looks like pretty good battery life as screen seems like it was used alot

If you are noticing big drops in battery right after waking phone from sleep then this might be caused by stamina (if you have been using it)

Also try the app Wakelock detector
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tifil:
Today, since I turn on my phone, it's about 30 minutes.

But, when my screen is off, I don't spend a lot of battery, it's when I use some apps, like evernote, playstore, taking some photos.

I'll take 2 photos, and my battery use 3% for exemple, the same with the other apps.

I tried wakelock app, and I have some apps loke weather, news, facebook are running, while I don't launch them, wo why this apps launch themselves ?
