Hi,
after updating my arc to 2.3.3 i´ve a problem with my battery. the arc is running very well but there´s a big jump from 20% to 1% in just one minute. is there a chance to recalibrate my battery?
i´ve tried three times to let the phone shut down and reload but the problem still exists.
what can i do?
Try turning the phone off and removing the battery and re-inserting.
This seemed to sort the same issue I had (30% > 1% then shutdown).
so after removing the battery the phone must be without for some time?
It seems that battery drain is one of the most common issues to xperia Arc. I just bought this sexy one about last week and also encountered this problem. After doing some soul-searching and experiences, here are the key factors that help u guys alot, bcoz it works for me:
+ You don't need to get your phone rooted as the other recommended, all you need to do is reflashing your rom to the generic one. I'd recommend the O2 generic rom and Global generic rom. Bcoz they don't have rubbish software (bloat ware)running in system background and consuming your battery like hell.
+ Turn of 3g, wifi, bluetooth and location services, only turn them on whenever you need internet access. You could add the power status widget up to manage them easier.
+ The battery itself will improve day by day, it might need a week from the time you bought the phone to have its maximum capacity (it's true)
So, with my light-weight use a day, i normally get my phone worked up at least 2 days without recharging
P.S: sorry if my english get you guys confused :|
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.

True that. Just booting my phone with Rush Kernel V13 + init.d scripts takes 5% of my battery
Hi everyone,
I search in the forum, but I didn't find a topic with my specific problem so I will expose it to you :
I've a ARC S, and regularly I loose the signal for some hours (particularly when I'm not on my phone, like during the night). So i've the feeling that my phone search the signal and my batery is drained...
I tried a full reset of my phone (with the original ROM) and a custom rom (Ultimate HD v5) with a custom kernel (LUPUS) on ICS.
I thought that I resolved the problem... BUT NOT :'(
Somebody has an Idea?
Thanks a lot
Hi everyone
I'm user of Xperia T3 since the beginning of this year, and I was very satified of my choice. But now appeared couple problems with my phone and I don't know how to solve it...
First problem is battery drain, it's too fast, I don't know how, but hour after unplug phone from the charger, battery stat was only 76%. Second problem is a overheating, it's a normal problem of phone, but it's annoying recently, especially when I use T3 in normal way, only using FB, Snapchat, etc. Also phone overheats when I use camera.
And the last problem is Wi-Fi, phone losing signal and when I want to rescan, Wi-Fi stopped working and only plane mode can turn off it. Also when I want turn it off normally, I think Wi-Fi still working in background so it can be reason of drain battery.
Thanks for help!
That never happened to me. You can try to do a factory reset, or use de Sony flashtool called Emma to install the kitkat again...
Hi Guys,
Model: Sony Xperia Z1 Compact D5503
Android Version: 5.1.1
Build: 14.6.A.1.236
So I've noticed a curious glitch with my Z1 Compact; every now and again my phone shows 'No Service' on the lock screen despite the phone actually having near enough to full network signal. When this occurs I notice that my battery takes a lot longer to drain... Which is great! It's happened to me about 9 times since the latest software update.
On a normal day where it DOES NOT say 'No Service' - my battery drains from 100% to around 30%.
When my lock screen DOES show 'No Service' - my battery drains from 100% to around 70% in the same time period & usage.
So my hypothesis, however crazy it may sound, is that somehow showing 'No Service' on the lock screen seems to stop a non-critical process from occurring which is resulting in prolonged battery life?
Im just wondering if anyone else has come across this 'glitch' and why I'm getting much longer use out of my phone when it's showing 'No Service'.
Im new to this forum so please let me know if you need any more information!
Thanks,
MistUnleashed
