I have my Experia set to go in standby mode after a minute so the screen goes blank. But I noticed that every few minutes (around every 5-10 minutes) the phone is still in standby mode but the screen lights up for a few seconds. I think that because of this also baterry runs out sooner. Can anyone give me any suggestion hov to set or too repair this problem so that the screen woudn't go on in standby mode without any reaso.
you can do a hard reset
These kind of things happen at many phones when you have Cell Broadcasts or Area Info enabled.
It's under Start menu, Settings (control panel, whatever) Personal tab, Phone, More tab, Broadcast channels (Enabled).
I'm not using English rom so the names could be different than the ones I used, but you get the idea of where you should look, right?
i guess the thing with windows mobile when the Cell Broadcasts or Area Info enabled it always turn the phone screen on whenever the phone receive new or updated cell info
so i advice u to disable this service plus turning ur phone on 3g or Hspad Mood will solive the problem but whenever the 3g service its not avilable the phone will go to gprs mood that means the phone will receive cell info again ,so just turn Cell Broadcasts off and the problem shell be over

Update your Xperia's firmware on Sony Ericsson's website. This should fix it.

Since we need to have the screen turned on to keep wifi/gps etc. running, and there are a few apps that would ideally run in the background with the screen off; to save battery power (and burn in?) it would be nice to have the AMOLED screen display just a black image.
Is there any app out there that just displays a black screen and maybe ignores all but a specific input?
At the moment I just zoom into a black image in the browser, but I can't put the phone in my pocket like that.
(I tried searching for this, but it was beyond my google-fu.)
You dont have to keep the screen on to run either my gps is always on and it neva disconnects also ive spent many nights going to sleep leaving my wifi connected and its neva disconnected either
Yup. If you haven't set WiFi to switch off after 15mins, it should carry on running.
By doing what you proposed, you'll decrease battery life drastically as you'd effectively be disabling the chips sleep mode by keeping it running 100%. With that, only the screen switches off and everything else including Android keeps running. Any application holding a partial awake lock can achieve this.
Lock delay; an app to control the default screen-lock options allows this.
For instance, if you set the initial screen timeout to 2 minutes but standby/lock to 10 minutes in the settings, the screen will switch off after 2mins idling, but the rest of the phone will still be running incl. WiFi/GPS. You can enable a lock/pattern or no lock at all where you press any key including menu/trackpad and it'll come back on in the same place you left it, without any lock. If the phone idles for 10mins, it'll activate the screen lock and place the phone in the standard sleep mode. The max delay you can set the latter to is 24 hours.
I wouldn't advise avoiding the sleep mode unless required in specific circumstances. Battery loss will be drastic; I found out unintentionally when activating this option at the beginning.

Thanks th3, that should do what I want. I don't intend to leave it unattended, it's just for when don't need the screen on while an app is doing something.
Now, there are 3 different modes for the Wifi suspension control:
- Never: This option never turn off the wifi connection. So, is better when you are connected to a wifi, but is worse when you are not, because the phone is always searching for connection.
- When it´s not charging: This option turns off the wifi when you turn off the screen, if the phone is not charging, so, is basically like the next option if the phone is not charging, and the first option if the phone is charging.
- Always: This option turn off the wifi always when you turn off the screen. So, is better when you are not connected to a wifi, because the phone isn´t draining battery searching for wifi. But it is worse when you are in a known wifi zone, because the phone is using the data instead the wifi when the screen is off, which drains more battery and waste data of your mobile monthly data.
Neglecting the option of turning wifi on/off manually thorugh the widget, and not using 3rd party apps like juicedefender, I thing the most intelligent and battery saver option depends on your life. So there isn´t a good option for all the people and for all days. For example, I thing the best option for me in the working days is 'Always', because I doesn´t have wifi in my working place, and I spend 10 hours a day on it, so, when I am working, the phone is in my pocket without searching for wifi, but, in the weekend, the best option for me is 'Never', because I spend a lot of time on my house. Finally, for a person who stays the most time of his day in a wifi zone, the best option is 'Never'.
Ok, now I ask, it could be an option that could be the best for all the people? I think the answer is YES:
I think if could be possible to have a mix of 'Never' and 'Always'. I explain, imagine the wifi is suspended at this moment, so you are on mobile data, and you are in your house, for example, and turn on the screen to view the weather. When you turn on the screen, the wifi awakes and connect to your home´s wifi connecion and you view the weather. Now you turn off the screen, BUT, THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE whith the 'Always' option, the wifi DOESN´T turns off, because it is connected at this moment. So, all the time you are at home, since the first screen´s turn on, the phone is connected to the wifi, saving mobile data, and battery, because the wifi drains less battery. Now, you leave your home, and, when the phone lost the wifi signal, turns the wifi off, so, when you are in a not known wifi zone (like the street), the wifi suspends itself for saving battery of wifi searching. The wifi only will search for a known wifi when the screen is on (like now with the 'Always' option) and, if it isn´t connected to a wifi when you turn off the screen, the wifi goes to suspension mode. Now you enter to your home again, with the phone in your pocket, with the screen off, so the phone won´t connect to your home wifi until you turn on the screen, and at this moment, your phone will always be connected to your home wifi until you leave your home again.
I think that is a good idea, and I guess why google doesn´t include something like this in android, it could be the best option for all people in all the situations.
What do you thing about the idea?
I like the idea and I would love to see it implemented! Whenever wifi signal drops out, don't search for it until screen is on.. Would be brilliant!

I am pretty sure we can configure a Tasker profile for something like that!

Probably, but the ideal case would be the option integrated into de system
up
Sounds like a good idea
but for now i use Y5 app
I like the idea, I think its very logical. I fall into the "always around WiFi" group of people though and the "Wifi sleep>Never" options suits me well, If I ever am not in my usual places, I have a wifi toggle on my notif bar for that. One thing I do miss though is the app "WiFi Status", its not compatable with either ICS or the SGN, not sure what the problem is, so I cant use it.
Notification on vibrate mode fail to work after leaving phone unused for a specified period of time. It seems the phone pretty much goes into a half dead sleep mode even though I have disabled as much visible stuff on the power management options. Any way to resolve this issue.
Also this thing takes 3 hrs to recharge fully plugged in straight to a wall outlet.

Don't know about the first part but 3 hours to charge is normal.

What I mean is that if you set the phone to vibrate notifications will vibrate also, like calendar events. But when you leave this phone down for over 20m or so it goes into a deep sleep mode where it practically becomes useless and no notifications come through , the wifi shuts down, pretty much the thing is half dead. Massive power management. And I went through the settings where I changed wifi to always on and high performance, the screen to never sleep unless I hit the lock button. I have a motorola atrix 4g that is rock solid, but this dam thing is barbaric in its power management and also in it's multitasking. It kills everything on the background if it is left there for more than a minute. I might swap it for the Galaxy S3 when it comes out here .
notifications always work for me..?
I have problems with notifications too but not only on vibrate mode.
I always get them when I turn the screen on but if not an SMS notificiation can come as late as 10 minutes after it was recieved. So I guess it wakes up from the coma sometimes to do a check.
Hi All, I am on 2.3.4 sotck rom (Sony ARC) and everytime my phone comes back from idle state, it seems that it unattaches itself from the carrier network. It shows the Warning icon dissapering in the next 2 seconds after the lock screen is shown upon pressing the power button.
Can anyone help me? thanks
I have the same issue, but not always... And when i go to battery stats, it like if the phone has stopped reaching the signal fot some time... So the warning signal does not appear when u unlock, it is already there beacuse the signal dropped off...
Its not properly a bug, but it seems like sometimes the phone lock disables the signal...
Firmware B111, kicking out of wifi when screen goes off. Wifi is set up "never go off", but still it goes.
I see it on "Smart Profiles",(tried "Profile Flow" also), as I made a rule based on home wifi to switch BT off, when I'm at home.
After some time, when screen goes off, it turns BT on. When I take the phone, it "see" wifi and switches BT off again. In log file of Profile Flow I can see, how the "HOME" profile goes on and off every 5-10 or 15 minutes.
So, the problem is- why WIFI does not keep on all the time. All the possible battery savers are taken off, but still no constant wireless network connection during phone sleep...
And my wifi based profiles don't work as they suppose to...
double check power save option?
