Need some help here..
I have rooted desire with latest lee's rom (thank's lee, you have my gratitude), installed with setcpu, also juice defender, and have done battery calibration (can't post a link since i'm a junior member).
Fyi, i'm a heavy user, got my gmail, twitdroyd, facebook, and instant messaging sync everytime, frequently playing with internet based games, surfing a lot, and have my based network on 2G and my brightness turn to 10%.
Is anyone here having similar problems like me and have passed the situation? sorry that my english isn't good
Thanks bfore..
I don't understand your question - problems similar to you - like what ? you didn't write what your problem is ?
/Smirge
if its about battery life, i am just as heavy user as you, i can get 8-12 hours out of my battery usually, you can get batterys for as cheap as $10 on ebay, just buy a couple and a dual charge dock (that can charge a battery that isnt in your phone) and your battery problems are gone
In u'r case, no doubt you will have very short battery life
Come on Indonesia, be realistic lah..
Dan gak usah lah pake sebut nama negara kita, malu dong gan

try a few different radios - I've seen my battery life double using some of the newer radios.
you can check them out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687464
start with the most recent and work your way down the list.
Yes it's about battery life that last about 6 hours, and using the latest radio. R u folks have tried calibrating the battery? I want to know the method, cause it seems wiping the battery stats have no impact to my battery life..thanks

Hello,
Like in the topic. The strange thing is that my battery was going low in an acceptable level (~2-3%/h) then 3 days ago it jumped to ~10%/h without a reason that I know of. I'll attach a BetterBatteryStats log from todays 8h at work.
One thing i've noticed that CPU is most of the time at max speed (I've set CPU on "screen off" state to 134-460Mhz (smartassv2) and when i've checked Time in State it was almost all of the time at 460Mhz, so i've locked it to 134 in "screen off" state, it gave me a little better battery draining level but still not satysfying... (and lags when unlocking phone)
Second thing - wakeups by com.sonyericsson.android.server.dormant (only 4047 in 10h ) wtf is that
I have undervolted CPU from 0.05 to 0.1V at all frequencies
Wifi was off data was on (2g all the time)
BBS log in attachment.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions how to improve battery life ;]
problem still actual
That's not really a drain imo
On which kernel are you?

I'm on doomkernel v18fix1. When this happened I was on v17 and I've updated it to v18fix1 with hope to get better but nothing there have changed.
Now I'll just change Se.Tweaked to arconium restore all my apps and see if its one of them.

I thought drain is just excessive battery usage by phone correct me if I'm wrong
You're right.
But most time mine drains like that, too.
That drain is normal for our phone I guess

So I've changed ROM to newest arconium, restored all my apps by Titanium Backup and battery life still crap.
I'm just wondering how this could happen just like that. One day was normal (~2-3%/h), and next day it jumped so high... considering that I haven't do anything what could change any settings that time.
I've took some screenshots of settings of my Arc and dumped BBS log, maybe there will be a clue what could possibly cause that high battery usage.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi all,
I've got a slightly strange one here which I wasn't expecting.
My Arc S was on .6, downgraded to .4, rooted, then upgraded to .6 with root still on. So I'm on a stock ROM, and have even removed a ton of unnecessary apps - otherwise, everything is as it should be.
However, where I previously got 2 days out of my Arc S, I'm now getting only about one. As before, I have background data, Wifi, Bluetooth and virtually everything else permanently turned off.
As I'm on a stock rom, and the same one that I was on before I rooted, is this normal and/or expected?
Thanks in advance,
schnide
Download a boot editor, or check the KERNEL, if you are using the stock kernel is normally. Idk how you can stay 2 days with an arc, without charging. Check the brightness.
Heck, im suprised how anyone can keep the battery last even for a day. If i fully charge the arc s, unplug it and then just leaves it there, the longest i can get is ~10hours.
I heard that arc/s battery will get better over time, maybe thats why, coz i only got mine like 4 months ago...

You can save power using apps like "green power" and cie but I'm impressed by the autonomy of your arc. Mine survives 1 day and two hours when I don't use it. You also can reset the battery stats on recovery but it's an extreme solution...
It's known issue, worse battery performance is because of .6x version

I conditioned my battery when I first bought the phone. Conflicting reports say this doesn't do anything with modern batteries, but I've always done it and had better battery life than some.

Install supercharger, use a task killer to determinate what apps are running on the background and kill the unnecessary ones frequently. I'd suggest you to install another kernel and arconium if you have unlocked bootloader

doom v19.2 highboot.
Hi everyone. I've bought my new xperia arc s on Wednesday and unfortunately I'm very disappointed with the battery performance. It is worse than my 3 years old iPhone. I've read many advices in the internet concerning this issue, but none of them gave any improvement for me. I want to emphasize, that I switched off: wifi, auto-sync, GPS & wifi localization etc. My display is at 30% of brightness. The only functions which are turned on are: 3g network and background data.
However, my smartphone needs to be charged after around 10 hours of not very heavy using (web browsing, ca. 20 minutes playing games such as angry birds or cut the ropę and 20 minutes of listening music player.
Today's performance was just tragic: 5 hours of working (less than 3.5 hours of the turned on screen; only 3g connection on). What should I do to improve these results or maybe the battery is broken and I should send the phone to the warranty service?
Thanks for help

Of course I'll wait, cause I don't want to miss my phone, which looks and works amazingly great. But do you have any tips which would help me to increase battery performance? All I need is 3g or wifi constantly turned on for google talk and facebook messenger.

Are you kidding me? It cannot be that bad.
My phone isn't arc s it's only arc but my battery lasts over 24 hours.
I run wifi and 3g always, usually there's over 1h of calls some web surfing and stuff. With this kinda usage it normallly last something like 36h. If i don't use phone it's over 48h.
You should check what has been using the battery.

I don't know how it's possible. I have only 3g data transfer turned on, while everything else is turned off. I checked in settings and it is screen which consumes 60%-70% of energy in my case. Is it normal? Moreover, could you tell me what is your maximum time of the screen turned on achieved without loading the battery?

Not kidding. Usually if i dont touch the phone, just the normal stuff that use the battery (display,idle etc.)
I use an app called my battery drain analyzer and it shows even when in idle the battery lose about 7%-8% in an hour.

Ill give u few suggestions
Turn the screen brightness to 30 40 % this will give you 4 5 hours more of stand by
Turn off 3g(data internet) it eats as much battery as the screen,use when u need it 4 6h more on stand by
GPS turn it off lol u dont need it to be turned on all the time,use it just when u need it
Im using this setup for 2 months not and its awesome im on 54% battery and the phone is charged before 21h.. i will have 30 + for sure

Hi, just some suggestions.
1. Do you use latitude?? That puts a huge dent in your battery.
2. Do you travel around during the day?? I find that my battery drops a lot quicker when the phone is forced to switch between towers a lot.
3. Try and check the date of manufacture on your battery, It may be old.
4. Did you properly condition your battery when you first got the phone (Takes about a week to do it right but well worth it in the long run)
5. See if you can borrow some one else's battery for a couple of days and see if it makes a difference?? (Isolation testing its called)
Or you could just have a bad battery, that happens.

I'm not sure how much my screen uses battery. I haven't evaluated screen always on usage.
I'm running currently at 46% 23h 3m 54s
voice calls 38% (1h 5m 20s)
wifi 19% (23h 3m 54s)
cell standby 14% (23h 3m 54s)
phone idle 12% (21h 45m 47s)
display 11% (47m 32s)
after these come other less significant stuff like Android OS, Android System, Web browser etc.
In my use are: DoomKernel v20 undervolted -75mv and Juice Defender.
I have also removed many softwares that are useless for me like support.apk etc.

It must be bad battery. If no apps are draining your batt.
read this thread get the betterbattery stats and check it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433309
it will identify it down to a specific app or a module in the kernel, where the drain is coming from.

Man, this is a problem that occours in every android phone, even those ones which have a more powerful battery.
I use an Arc S overclocked (but not too much) and the battery lifes varies a lot, depending on which kernel and which rom I use. The best battery life i've find so far was DoomKernel ICS v4 with Arconium ICS v5. But it was a little bit laggy and now I'm using KA13 with the same kernel. The battery life is not bad, but not really good.
Sony knows this issue and I'm sure they're working in order to fix this on the official release of ICS. Just wait

Hi i am from mexico due to my carrier havent realised the 4.1.2 update i decided to install a canadian 4.1.2 stock rom (rogers). It worked like a charm i can receive calls, sms and use mobile date without any problems.... but i feel a litte drain of battery. When the phone is in deep sleep mode it doesnt consum much but when the screen is on the battery goes about 1% every 4 min more or less. I decided to check better battery stats and partial wakelocks seems so good for my opinion but there is something wrong in "other" module. it appears no or unknown signal with 100%!!! is it due to this rom is not from my country? i have tried with other modem and stills the same. i dont why it appears like no or unknown signal if the signal is so good. i attache some screenshots. Thank you so much for your time and sorry for my bad english!!
Don't know about what it's being reported by BBS versus the ROM but 1% every 4 minutes equates to 15% battery usage an hour with screen on. Definitely no issues there.
