Hi.
Every time I remove the battery (xperia Arc LT15i) the clock resets to 1980/1/1... is this a hw/battery fault or sw related?
Thanks.
Hm... I remember this happening when I got my phone, around 10 months ago. Had it for a day or two and I removed the battery for some reason I can't remember. The date and clock were back to 00:00, 1/1/1970, I had to readjust them, but this haven't happened since, though I've removed my battery quite a lot of times up until now, so I never really searched the internet for a possible answer. But it might be some SW related thing (at that time I was on 2.3 I think). It's been a long time since I've used stock ROM and kernel, though.
By the way, do you happen to have Automatic time checked in Settings, or do you set the time and date manually?

How long do you have the battery removed for?
This is not hardware or software related. But BATTERY related. I.e. the phone clock needs power to keep time. I don't know what the exact amount of time is but if you keep it out for to long then it will reset. But it straight back in within a minute our so and it shouldn't reset.
If it does reset in a short time then it's a hardware fault.

It happens every time I remove the battery.
I usually just remove it for getting stuff on and off the SD Card...5-20mins
I thought it maybe the internal battery, if it has one, had died.
Android: 2.3.4
Build: 4.0.2.A.0.62
Rooted.
It's like 30 seconds to reset the battery calibration maybe that's the same with the dates and time?

Also happened to my old phone, slow boot? Make sure sync with operators is ticked under settings. If that still doesn't work, set it yourself - worked for me

5 mins is too long and that's why it keeps resetting. If you need to transfer stuff on sd card, then re insert the battery but don't turn the phone on.

I've Had my phone rooted, new Radio (Since Dec.) running latest LeeDroid.
Had my phone just the way i like everything, been very impressed with battery life over the past month with brilliant ROM updates.
Then randomly last week Wi-Fi usage shot up to the 60-90 mA level.
Why?
No new Rom had been installed for 2 weeks, so it wasn't that.
Wi-Fi off was 1-4 mA.
- I thought maybe its the applications I updated; Uninstalled all of them
Didn't work
- Maybe its fiddly settings like SYnc etc that have changed since App updates etc...
No settings had been altered.
- Maybe its a cache stats thing, I'll do a full wipe (Via CWM in Recovery Mode, select "Wipe Data/FactoryReset" option) and re-installed an even newer version of LeeDroid.
Still the battery drained 7-9 percent an hour on Standby(Screen Off).
1) Is it my router?
2) Is it a faulty WiFi part in the phone
3) What else besides the other two could it be?
i.e. - Battery was 60 percent with Wi-Fi on. -- Phone put into what appeared to be "Sleep Mode" (Pressing the power button once.)
-- 8 hours later battery was 15 percent!
Spare Parts showed "Time since Phone was in sleep" 8H
"Time since Wi-fi was in sleep" 8H.
Help greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem, disabling email sync in gmail solved the problem for me
Thanks GurliGebis; Tried that too even though I hadn't changed that setting since last week (When everything was fine).
Still no luck.
Any other thoughts?
Although almost 5 months have passed from the last reply on this thread I continue to have the EXACT same problem as you Tapori...
Have u figured it out mate?
Please reply if u have.
Thanks

I have tried it elsewhere and drain seems to be ok as far as i can recall. The problem is that even with my home router SOMETIMES there is no problem and drain seems normal.
So it's just a random thing but oh so annoying when it happens.
Thanks for trying to help though
Hi,
Is there something wrong with my battery? This is the second time it has happened to me .. last time I left it overnight at 45% and when I woke up the phone was off, so I looked in battery usage and saw that it fell to 0 right from ~25%, and today, I was in an international call, and the call cut off and the phone shut down. It wasn't hot at all, I checked.
Is there some bug with the software, or is it a problem with my battery?
Can you check in the setting menu, where the battery is used for? There must be some or one thing, maybe a constantly updating widget, which is faulty, it really take me 1.5 days before my battery is flat with internet on all the time, and 3 days plus with internet off.
On the other hand I had the same with my lg a while ago and after a flash it was OK.
Sometimes these kind of phones behave very unpredictable....

Oh I'm not worried about the battery life, I was putting it through a lot of use.. and I have a lot of widgets updating frequently
My concern is with the sudden drop from ~25% to 0 which has happened twice now
your battery might be wrongly calibrated.Download battery calibrator from market.charge to 100%,click calibrate battery..it should fix your problem

This happened to me few times. The last time I noticed was from ~48% left it overnight (only about 6 hours) and I woke up to find the phone was off. Usually my phone loose about ~25% overnight. Not sure what or who is the culprit. I have flashed few firmwares and none fixed the issue. Currently I'm rooted using Generic World firmware with locked bootloader and removed many bloatwares.

I've this program installed and I'm sure it has not helped with this issue. I see "missing data" when there is a sudden loss of battery.
I´ve also the problem; my arc is not rooted, so there is no chance to calibrate the battery...?
Had it once, took the battery out and in again and it had 20% more again. Then I charged it at home and so far it works fine.

Thank you. I´ve taken out the battery for about 15 minutes and put it in. The percentage is still as before.
Is there another way to reset the batterystats.bin without root?
Well looks like many people are having this issue, either there are a lot of faulty batteries out there, or its a problem with the firmware. I'm leaning towards the latter.
I'm using Rogers 2.3.3, what are you guys using?

I experinced this issue with Singapore generic firmware as well as World Generic (current) firmware. Hence I don't think it could be a specific firmware issue.
Awake
Anyway to find out what or which program kept the phone to stay in awake? As you can see the screenshot, the phone was awake during random times and most of the time without the screen isn't on.
Sorry, no idea,perhaps someone else here can help
For me its probably something like latitude which I set to auto update

"Latitude"? How can I verify that it doesn't affect me
Latitude comes with Google Maps, its basically a location sharing feature. If you press the menu button in google maps you can click on latitude, then menu button again -> settings, and change from 'Detect Automatically' to 'Manual'
If you don't know what it is I doubt you actually have it enabled anyway, so it could be some weather widget maybe?

I checked and my menu reads as "Join Latitude" which means I have not enabled it in the first place (I guess so).
I'm using Beautiful widget for weather service so not sure whether that is the culprit.
I wish there is more visibility for this .
Thanks for your explanations .
Btw I tried the Supercharger script, and it has doubled my battery life
(You need root)
I chose options 1,6,17
Here it happened again today early morning!!

May be due to the "Green Power" application. I checked before and if I switch on the WiFi it is continues without any problem.
I too hope for the same as you. Annoying bug .
I have the very same problem. The phone battery goes from 100% to 66-64 over the night...showing that the Cell standby and Display has drained the most of the %...
Guys
I am getting thru 3 batteries a day now, which needs to be resolved but every time I do swap, the date and time need resetting.
Is this right? Or is my phone faulty?

Hi
I noticed the same a couple a days ago, didn't found the answer yet.
Every time I'm pulling out the battery I need to update the clock with NTPClient app taken from PlayGoogle.
Yeah that happens. I guess normally when the phone is off, the battery is still used very slightly by an internal clock, but since you take out the battery, that clock is reset to Jan 6, 1980. That's just my guess. No clue why that far back a date. I usually keep my wifi/mobile data and autosync on so that when I swap the batteries and power on the phone, it performs an autosync and gets internet time automatically. I don't have to set it manually.

Hi I know in ICS u go into settings/date and time/ and u can check the Automatic date and time provided by network option. That should sort it.
This happens to my phone as well.
I've got Automatic Date / Time on but it never seems to work on my network for some reason...
Does the DHD have a backup battery for time?
Hi!!
I'm having terrible battery drain with my Arc S. Bought new last November, had a normal battery life span. In March phone started to lose battery on deepsleep mode (over night, airplane mode on).
I've tried every single rom from GB to ICS to JB, I've spent hundreds of hours reading diferent threads here and every forum I found on google! I've tried everything I've read, made dozens of factory restore on Sony SUS.
Facts:
- Locked BootLoader
- Currently on GB 2.3.4 with Xperia Slim V2.20
- Don't have data plan
- 2G every time
- Drains 3.5% per hour over night with Airplane mode on, after a fresh restart)
- tried a new 2350mAh battery
- Formatted Micro SD Card
- App sync when reinstall programs is off
- Every rom I've tried, made full clean (userdata/system/cache/dalvik) or followed specific rom instructions.
- Tried battery calibration methods from the forum
These battery drain symptoms exists on every single rom I flash!! Stock or custom, GB or ICS. I'm desperate, and to help me out, I don't have the invoice to send it to Sony...
I'm trully desperate, I'm not a noob and I've search and read every singe thing I've found!!!

Seems like one of the apps, that you have installed yourself.
Battery drain does not just start suddenly. Either a newly installed app or something other modification.
Try using BetterBatteryStats and try to see, what consumes juice.
By the way, those battery calibration things are waste of time - they do not help nor improve anything.

which baseband are you using ??
Stock from .42 as I'm on locked bootloader
Gathered some info this morning from BBS .
3hours on deepsleep, plain mode, took 2,5% per hour, clibing to 4,5% during the day, almost no wifi and just a couple of calls
Good morning.
This time got 2.9% per hour overnight as BBS states.
Could someone check this log please??
I genuinely can't understand what's wrong with the phone!
If I take the battery off for some minutes, and put it back on, the battery drops.
On a clean rom from Sony SUS, airplane mode, deepsleep, battery drops!
Please bare in mind that I have more than one battery, and the problem occurs on both!!
Worst damn phone ever had!!Even my nokia 3310 was better than this!! Will not buy Sony Ericson for sure again
Some basics - WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Sync (also within apps) turned on?
Do you have low signal in your area?
And by the way, do not compare today's smartphones with Nokia 3310. None of today's smartphones can get 2 weeks on a single charge.
Your phone sleeps well so your battery drain problem is not software related. I think that your phone is damaged and If you still have warranty then it's time to use it.
Sony Xperia Arc S Battery Drain
Hey MM
I've got the same model phone as you which also started with normal battery life but recently started draining the battery to the point where I couldn't get 6 hours on standby (powersave mode) without it going flat pffft! All I could pinpoint it to was that it kind of started draining out after I installed the latest facebook app update. I uninstalled it last night & my battery is back to normal. I've had 8 hours on idle time and 3 hours of mild usage (internet & texts) and battery power is still at 92% woohoo! Even though I had all notifcations for facebook turned off, there was something within that friggin app that was draining my battery big time, even when the phone was idle. I now just have the basic facebook app which is pathetic & takes forever to load, so I'm just logging onto facebook via internet browser & all is sweet.

Hi all
After sitting with my stock SGS4 (i9505) for a few months I decided to root (as i had my N7000 and HTC Desire).
About the same time as this my phone began turning off seemingly randomly. At first i thought this may be a ROM/Kernel issue but I have tried a couple including Stock(rooted), Carbon and the GooglePlay Rom. The same thing happens for all of them.
Once off, the phone boots to splash screen then turns off. This cycles. I remove the battery and the phone will turn on, sometimes showing a SIGNIFICANT apparent drop in battery (90% reduces to 3% during this single on/off cycle). A quick charge and restart will often cause the rebooted phone to read the battery at 90% again.
The battery does appear slightly swollen and i'm curious if anyone could shed any light on:
1) does this seem a battery / firmware issue and
2) any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
Currently: GooglePlay Rom 4.2.2 PhilZTouch Recovery
Regards
Warnoceros
If you're saying the battery is "swollen" it probably is a battery issue IMO. Especially if you're having problems on every ROM you've tried.
Have you tried going back to stock to see if it's still happening?
Hi
Thanks for replying. I'm downloading stock now so will report in the morning.

Hi,
So, went back to stock (binary counter has moved up unfortunately - didnt read into that before hand). Was still rebooting. Have replaced battery and this seems to have done the trick for the time being. I noticed that the unit did not reset until my google accout restored apps to the phone so there is still a chance it was a bad app i suppose.
Most likely the battery though
Thanks
