Battery life

What the best way to charging? Turn off power to charging or charging when power on.
I've just upgrade to .73 but seem be nothing changed.

thanks,

I appear to be losing 1% per hour on standby whilst at work in locker, also Angry birds space took a whopping 9% from 100% after a few minutes play.

I have been reading this entire thread and I have a suggestion which is more sensible that many I have read here;
To massively increase battery life hold the phone in your left hand and a live rooster in your right while there is a new moon.
Dance around a fire started with branches from a Pohutakawa tree while barking at the new moon.
This should work as well as many of the responses I have read here.

does this work if I hold the rooster in my left hand? plz tell me

gm007 · Mar 30, 2012

that could be the reason for battery drain http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111581

Fast Dormancy had an impact on my SGS2 when I had one you could turn it off on that phone but I don't think you can on the XS

Hey guys
I have got more power with the phone by simply underclocking the device and changing the voltage with the cpu core using an app called proton voltage and voltage control lite
I am getting alot more battery power with these apps running but you need your phone rooted to use
Also turn of your brighteness to alow setting and use juice defender to manage wifi
This works guys no probs just as good as an iphone 4s for the battery lasting now

So this is my update after a full days use, and I must say post .73, the battery life is amazing with my use

I'm sitting in the 30's so I can easily last overnight and into the morning probably.

Most of the day with WiFi on, and a good bit of the day with Bluetooth and music streaming. Lots of texting and XDA browsing, and a few app installations

I also didnt have that wake process frozen.

Not bad at all, I am actually a little impressed now

My battery life improved a little bit overnight.. dropped 5% in about 8hrs. But on my X10 cell standby would be the thing that showed most usage overnight but on Xperia S it is "android system" which is using most of my battery overnight! It says keep awake: 3hr 23min, is anyone elses like this as well?

edit: Installed betterbatterystats and it shows that alarm manager is keeping it awake and the intent is com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup as discussed earlier in the thread. I have frozen it in titanium and have also renamed the .apk in root manager but it is still running somehow

I had this problem since last Saturday that I purchased the phone. Overnight, with NOTHING running and totally stock, no GPS, WIFI or 3G, I would lose 30-40% of my battery charge.

So last night, I upgraded to 0.73 using flashtool, and voila, only lost 2% in 9 hours. Two percent! Brilliant!

Again, I did nothing else (no battery recalibration, no rooting, no process freezing, NOTHING) but upgrade to 0.73. Problem solved.

My battery life is good enough. Unless i start playing games of course xD

3 short calls 5 sms some web browsing and some Wifi downloading =50%battery/24h

Im calculating usages and 15min Display On (30% brightness) = 1h Music (Volume 50%) = 12h inactive.

WTF display? yes, i know its 720px display but... WTF?

Wakeup and unused apps frozen (timescape, office, music/video unlimited, stock Gallery, Browser, email, music/video sharing, google books/videos, etc)

PD: im on UK .67

My screen uses about 70-80% of the battery it's ridiculous

I set up the brightness on 50% and switched the bravia engine off and still drains loads of battery. Also it drains about 23% overnight with wifi/bluetooth/gps/data off. Can someone give few tips how to fix the battery problem?

Are you using the latest update?
Also bravia engine does nothing unless you view pictures/movies.

Is your phone new? Give it 2-3 weeks for the battery to settle too.
Drain it completely, then charge fully. Do this process a few times.

I can get a full day of use now and my battery only drops 5% overnight.

eddyedwards007 · Mar 31, 2012

Battery only becomes an issue if you're not able to charge it. People who mention" my battery drains x amount over night", do you not put it on charge while you're asleep?
I get at least a day ( while I'm awake) of use and that's all I need. If you're at home have it on charge while you use it.
I don't understand this obsession with trying to get your battery to last for days,if your in the middle of nowhere, fair enough but come on guys, seriously!
It would be nice to be able to have a battery that lasts days on a single charge,but unless you get a simple txt and call phone it ain't gonna happen.

No im not using the latest update and yes the phone is new I get it a week ago. I always drain the battery completely until the phone switches off by itself. I saw that other users have about 50% usage of screen i just checked and I got 79%

. I shall wait few more weeks and see how it goes hope ICS update will help a lot

As I had promised earlier (in the ver73 firmware thread), here is my observation based on a moderate usage using the new firmware. The battery looks freaking awesome now. Its been more than 26hours now and I still have 50% juice remaining.
I have used my phone with WIFI switched on for more than 12 hours. Rest of the time I had 3G On. The Gmail,Facebook and Google contacts sync is turned on. The GPS is turned ON as well.
Screen brightness is set to 30% (which is more than enough for me, When I need more I just turn the backlight ON temporarily.). I didnot play games. However, I did some light internet surfing and had voice calls for around 40-45mins. I also sent a few sms.

The stats look freakingly awesome. The guys have certainly done a great job in ver 73. And with out feedback on what else needs to be improved, this can only get better when ICS comes in.
(Note: I am on Non Rooted Stock version of ver 73 with no customizations.)
