Imho task killers, setcpu etc. do more harm than help. Your display usage seems high what is your display timeout? Mines set at a minute and while my battery only lasts a day, the r1f fw my battery would only last 4-6 hours. Definite improvement. Hope this helps :-)

i download helix launcher omg in 6 hours i only lost 5% with like 15 texts and 10 mins call and 45 mins browsing. wow every1 should install helix launcher donut.
[XPERIA X10 General] mrtim123:
Nice! glad to hear it is going better for you :)

FWIW - i run ADW launcher on mine, no task killers/CPU or Battery tools and short screen timeouts. I get great battery life.
[XPERIA X10 General] tnleeuw:
Turn down the display brightness!!!

72% of your battery goes to display! Man that should give a clue! :-)

Turn down the brightness of your display, way down. 20% brightness perhaps, that's what I can live with under most weather circumstances.

Even with auto-brightness my display doesn't eat THAT much battery.

Do you live perhaps in a very sunny area, that you keep your display so bright??

Anyway, to improve your battery life, turn down the brightness!!
[XPERIA X10 General] curious_yellow_eyes:
I found juice defender made a difference. Before I installed it Android System was using the most power, now it's screen which is as it should be!
[XPERIA X10 General] Pepper67:
I also dont get great battery life and the display is always using at least 70% of it when I check the usage but when I turn off auto brightness it ends up being brighter even when its manually turned all the way down so it seems auto would make more sense....
[XPERIA X10 General] solo13:
First let me tell you exactly what my phone says

9 Hours 42 Minutes since unplugged

Battery Level 84 %

Display 41 %

The major things that can help in saving the battery is killing the 3G and Manually set the brightness.

am using the 3G only when i need it , i wont keep it running all the time, the reason of that is most of our apps mails etc, will Auto sync , and that will eat your batter.

Plus : Stop GPS , Bluetooth when it is not needed

why display shows 70 % of consumption ?? (((( cause you have 4 inches LCD screen ))) , smaller the screen the less it will use .

Task Killer , is not for saving battery , it is for freeing your RAM , X10 has 384 MB RAM , Android is using more than 200 MB out of it , leaving you with less than 180 MB to run your apps , so if you run few apps your free RAM will start dropping and you will start feeling how heavy is it to start any app.
[XPERIA X10 General] xeviro:
I agree to the post above.

Here are the check list to improve battery life:

If you use email, put the update duration to max, except for important mail account

Set brightness to automatic

Enabled GPS, Bluetooth and WiFI when required

Only enabled 3G when you are using the phone for internet access (Find a good 2G-3G switch apps, mine runs in notification), i also found talking on 2G line gives better quality specially if you live where 3G BTS is very scarce

Uninstall all task killer and battery management

Use less widget, widget updates also takes baterry

I usually able to run the phone without need to charge for 2 days for daily task such as check email, messaging, IM and few phone calls.

wlan - standby

... with juice plotter i have seen, that my wlan-standby (screen off) does not work correctly, if some apps (also no typical always on apps) are installed, but i cant remember which ones. So after installing new apps, i always check juice plotter after (in the standby mode) ...

... i know some apps are doing an intervall update, that is ok (you can see spikes in juice plotter) but a 100% time use is silly ...

... is there a app i can monitor, which app and when an app use wlan/gps/bt (time/open/close) ???
[XPERIA X10 General] zhoustanley:
i am on 020 i get about 15 hours on fairly heavy usage. im using set cpu (screen off @ 245mhz), no task killer nothing else. I found that juicedefender didnt really do anything. O ya i am also using adw (stock theme)

on moderate use, i get around a full day. Definitely wayyy better then when i first got the phone (was getting around 5 or 6 hours before it died)
[XPERIA X10 General] devein:
IMHO task killers can improve battery life.

notice that you cannot assume that every app in background is using 0% of CPU.

and for setcpu: im quite sure that cpu stepping is enabled by default in android kernel, it would be very big mistake for SE / android developers to not enable this standard linux kernel feature that certainly saves energy on every CPU that supports it.

setcpu just allows to fine tune this.

also perhaps battery drain from screen is huge compared to modern energy saving CPU. perhaps power usage is wrutten somewhere in CPU specs, and for the screen, in mAh :) , worth checking :)
[XPERIA X10 General] hubseven:
Get a 3g/2g on/off widget or download data on demand apk my phone lasts for 3 to 4 days regular use.

Using adw launcher
[XPERIA X10 General] devein:
also setting in wireless controls ->mobile settings-> gsm only can help,

im currently testing this, on my main location gsm signal (2g) is way stronger than wcdma (3g),

stronger signal means less power off hook (phone keeps alive itself on cell) and certainly less power during call ( transmitting constantly)

too bad it doesnt have "connect to signal with higher power" setting.
[XPERIA X10 General] jags_the1:
My battery info:

Display 45%

cell standby 21%

phone idle 165

wifi 17%

andriod system 3%

mediaserver 2%

my cell standby seems preety high. is it good or bad? what is it anyway and if its bad how to improve it?
[XPERIA X10 General] Pepper67:
These contradicting answers arent helping me much.

But before that do all you guys getting 2+ days have your x10 rooted? Cause mine isnt so is that something I'll need to do to get any respectable battery life out of it?

So Im reading to set the screen to auto, then I read set it to manual

Use a task killer, dont use them

juicedefender works great, juicedefender does nothing

use setcpu dont use setcpu

The only consistant answeres seem to be dont load your phone with widgets and dont use 3G when it's not needed.
[XPERIA X10 General] devein:
cell standby usage depends on signal strength, and phone prefers faster type 3g (wdma) even when gsm signal is stronger.

check my post directly above yours, there is a setting described to force to 2g (gsm) only.

it may help when you have weaker

3g signal.
[XPERIA X10 General] devein:
well thats because these are only theories, nobody here has tested them in purely scientific way, you can be the first one, it will serve greatly to the community.
[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
What is stronger signal less number or more? Which of these is stronger -83dmb or -79dbm?
[XPERIA X10 General] xeviro:
task killer is good unless you use the auto kill. because some apps will start it self again when killed, and the starting process consume more battery as it requires memory initialization. but its good to have for killing apps that you finished using with.

setcpu works great, but your phone will work very sluggish as you force the no cpu throttle, where actually when the phone goes to standby, its already throttle down the cpu and only raise when required. and whenever you switch around from standby to running, the setcpu will take time to set the correct cpu for you, so you end up feeling the phone is not responsive.

that is my opinion on task killer and setcpu.

setting screen brightness to manual will works best if you set to lowest of course. but then you cannot see anything.

the most things that eat your battery is apps that run in background like mail, facebook, twitter and so on. if you set the update to like every 5 minutes and every 3 hours, you will see the difference.

instant messaging client is the worst as even though you are in standby, all friend coming in and out all the time will make the apps do processes in background, and some IM client uses a very redundant and big protocol which requires the apps to parse more information coming from server like Nimbuzz as they are using XMPP.

a lot of basic and no-brainer things can be done to increase battery life, like turning off vibration when notification comes, use short notification tones compared to lengthy songs for email notification. turn off vibration when you are typing.

but anyway my best solution for X10 battery problem is buy your self spare battery and external charger. hahaha.. so you can enjoy your X10 to the fullest and change battery when no more juice in it :p

but i think X10 cannot last than 2 days more unless you are not using it, and no one calls you and send you message. when i go back to my country, i don't have data plan on my number. so mostly the X10 is just sitting there, without data connection and i use blackberry most of the time for messaging. that time i could get 2 days plus. lol
[XPERIA X10 General] devein:
stronger is -79dbm signal, it means less signal loss compared to -83dbm

[XPERIA X10 General] gunawan-1:
Any idea which 2g/3g app is better?

Gunawan, GN Mutimedia & X10i
[XPERIA X10 General] devein:
urm if you ask about switching 2g/3g on and off widgets - all are the same

if you ask about which type of network is better, for power saving this.one is.better which has strongest signal.
[XPERIA X10 General] gunawan-1:
I mean, I only need mms connection, so I want to turn off data connection but mms still enable. Which app can manage this utility?

Gunawan, GN Mutimedia & X10i
[XPERIA X10 General] krohme:
wow! turning off 3G made the biggest difference for me personally..

for the 1st time my X10 has lasted a whole day and I still have 70% remaining! :eek:

I have juice defender running and set cpu.. but I never thought 3G could have been sucking all that juice from the device, 2G is good enough for me as the device has way more battery life. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Pepper67:
OK here comes a real dumb question. Which option actually controls 2g and 3g cause the app just brings me to network connections and they seem to be called something else in the settings so I'm not exactly sure what turns 3g off and leaves 2g on
[XPERIA X10 General] mipepim:

[XPERIA X10 General] Pepper67:
I dont have a GSM only option on my phone how do I turn off 3G?

[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
There is a app on market called data on demand. U can turn on and off the 3g
[XPERIA X10 General] unrygar:
go to settings - wireless controls - mobile networks - network mode, select gsm only

i don't know if the names are correct, i have a phone with italian firmware.

Mine with 1%...how long do you have your phone now? When just new I had the same, but it is better now... Still using a lot when using, but that can be expected with the big screen, internet, music, video and internet.....than mine will last for one day only...
[XPERIA X10 General] old_old_7:
Why when I choose "GSM only"

Signal gone, can't make phone call !
[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
Maybe because GSM network isn't available where you are.
[XPERIA X10 General] xnewser:
Go to setting/wireless/network then uncheck data traffic, I'm using hdma only... Also uncheck background data in setting/account&sync. Doing so you will be able to get a 3% drop overnight in standby mode, if not you may have a bad app like a taskiller producing loops or so... verify carefully all settings and restart your phone, do it once a day since it is good for your system specially if used to install apps frecuently. Basically remember to enable services only when needed... if this won't solve anything then starts thinking about a fried battery. Hth

Hi XDA members,

I have reported this issue yesterday to our engineering teams, it's all a bit odd and we aren't sure what happened right now.

That said, we've pulled a few levers and it appears that the issue has been resolved, so please go and download again if you are not already set. If it's still not working then get in touch mdoherty@adobe.com.

Thanks for checking out Flash Player and making it the number one download!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
Hey, I'm running the stock rom on a At&T Tilt 2, most of the time I am using TouchFlo3D, once in awhile I'll switch to SPB Pocket Plus (Demo Version).

I notice when using TouchFlo3D I start with ~70MB of Ram after a soft-reset, but as I go throughout the day this takes a Very Fast dive, just using the program for messaging, etc.

When using SPB Pocket Plus (Demo version) I start with ~90MB and it keeps it up for much longer throughout the day...no need to soft-reset all day to bring it back up.

I know this would happen with my Samsung Epix running WM 6.1...but never to the extent of the Tilt 2, barely anything would fall off, I would never need to soft-reset just to get my Ram back throughout my day.

I always check my task manager too, making sure nothing stays running in the background.

Is this normal with the TouchFlo3D interface?

Anyway to free up more?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PUTALE:
it's a common issue with windows mobile phone to have these leaky ram. The stock rom seems to have more issue in my opinion. I think mail and also windows media will never fully close themself after you launch them.

Stock rom uses a bit more memory because of some bloatware that often got loaded. Though the latest rom (not officially out on att or htc site) seems to have less issue with slownees but still has leaky ram.

My opinion is that if you are concerned about hte ram leaky or slowness, try one of the custom roms, they often works better, faster, and took out most of the bloatware.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Pinguino1:
I had the tilt2 for about 6 months, I noticed some memory leak, but no concern, since I never had an issue with it, but since a few days ago I noticed that after turning the phone ON I have 35mb storage ram and 80mb program ram free but I can see the program memory going slowly down to 40mb and sometimes to 24mb in 20-30 min. Without ruinning any app!

What's running there? that I can't see.

I have stock At&t ROM and the 8gb MicroSD with as much I as can, pictures, videos google, bing, music, recordings etc. QUESTIONS

How I delete some of the at&t garbage with out using a custum ROM? (I don't know too much to do that)

Is there an app to manage the stolen ram?

I have over 1000 contacts, and gmail,live, hotmail and msn emails, can I move that to the microSD? how?

I would appreciate your help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
I have a lot of contacts...but keep them all on the sim memory, I only copy over my main ppl that I talk with daily, so I can have their pics and set ringtones for them individually...a start to help with memory.

I have an 8GB card too...my memory isn't that low...the ram goes down throughout the day...faster than my last windows phone....try installing apps on the storage card verses the main memory...what I do when I can...have about 120mb of memory left on the device.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
No program can remove things stored in ROM (including CrudScraper, which basically only deletes the shortcuts from the Start menu). The only way to actually get rid of the bloatware is with a custom ROM.

TF3D is a known memory hog with a lot of leakage. The new OEM ROM's version of Sense is just as bad. That's the price you pay for pretty home screens. The free CleanRAM is a good way to reclaim RAM during the day, but soft resetting is still the best way.
