[Q] Battery arc s - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So now i bought new battery for my phone because old is ....... I charged it at night to 100% then next morning i went to school. I wasnt using phone but it was heating and there was extreme battery drain. Even if i turn phone off the battery is discharging and phone is heating. So please tell me if is the problem because battery is new or its somthing else?

Correct, if it's fake then you need to put in the bin and buy a genuine battery.

Seriously, if your phone still gets warm when you switch it off, I would throw away the battery as far as possible...
Don't you mean standby (screen switched off)?
It still shouldn't get warm when in standby, but then atleast it could be a software problem instead of a possible faulty battery.
Maybe some app keeping your phone from entering deep sleep which drains the battery and might be the cause of the battery drain as well.
Check which apps are using the most power, or just simply factory reset your phone and see if the problem still exists.

If you bought your battery for $5 off eBay or something then chances are its a fake.
If you bought it from the Sony store then of course it's real. (and you should get it replaced)

I have original battery i ordered it at my operator from germany and it was 30€. When phone is turned off it drains battery. So if i flash kernel and wipe all should help?

If the battery still drains with the phone off (not screen off) then it's advisable to get a replacement.

its second day after new battery and i noticed that the phone is less heating but still drain battery but not in large amount so i will wait one more day. if wont be better if will root it and decrease processor to 1ghz

and i found another problem. if the battery empty so the fon shut down itself when i connect the chrager it dont start to charge and i cant turn on phone. it take like 3-4 hours to start charging...

I had a similar problem with my sisters galaxy mini... after a few days the only solution that i found reliable was to send it back for repair since it was warranty covered...

[Q] weird issue with battery

my phone is ARC S
most of times when battery percent is about %40 suddenly the low battery message appear and show %1 and phone shut down .
i'm sure it's not %0 battery problem (double checked with log and this forum guys!)
and tried most of roms and kernels and no different .
is it from battery and shoud i change it ?
try this battery calibration app. if still same problem occurs, maybe it's really the battery itself got problem.
I personally always do calibration of battery whenever I switched ROM.

I think so too.
Battery calibration apps offer a satisfying placebo effect on battery life.
But when battery acts this weird, you need something more than a placebo.
First you do a Repair with SEUS and if the problem persists, it's most probably hardware related.
If one of your friends has an Arc, you can exchange batteries for a day, to make sure that your battery is actually faulty before buying a new one.
Last but not least, if you do buy a new battery, it'd better be an original one.
Don't trust cheap eBay knockoffs!
Good luck!

No, I came home and charged it and never had the problem again.
But mine dropped from ~40% to 29% not to 0% like yours did.

First time charge on Xperia Play ?

Hi I just got a brand new Xperia Play today I turned it on and it had 18% battery life left.
I wanted to ask how long shall I charge the Xperia Play for ?
Thanks
Leave it on the charger until it says 100%. In fact, it would be even better if you let it go completely dead and then charged it. I usually just put mine on the charger when I go to bed and it's full when I get up. I think it only takes a couple hours otherwise.

Does anyone know why the battery goes down even when the phone is idle? By go down, I mean quite recognizably as my old ZTE blade didn't seem to do this significantly.

That happens with my Xperia Play as well even though I don't have any apps running. Btw how much does yours go down by? A few percent is normal.

Because you're device still requires power to run, even if it's in the idle state. When the phone is in Standby and Idle, it will require far less power then say if the screen is turned on but not doing anything. You may have to see if there are other running services in the background (which is most likely the case).
After rooting and removing most/all bloatware, you'll notice that standby/idle take hardly any battery life from your phone.
Hi! Every phone that was newly bought should charge up to 8 hours. Every phone dealer told me that, I even charge mine 8 hours when I first bought it. It'll be better if you charge it 8 hours at first, the battery will last longer.

I actually don't think charging it for 8 hours prolongs the battery life.
4 hours is enough.
It doesn't matter with modern lithium batteries, just charge it as and when you like

Yeah true. Just charge it until you reach 100%. It doesn't make a difference if you leave the charger in or not after 100%
Thanks guys

maybe, anyways I think just charge it up to 100% and let charge for a little more while, and just unplug it and you're Playstation Certified!

Battery issue after charge

My battery goes from 100% to 66% right after pulling the cord when it finishes charging. How do I fix this?

Try booting into CWM and clear battery stats, restart your phone, run your phone until the battery is so low it shuts off. Then plug the phone in, turn it on, put it in airplane mode and let it charge to 100%.
At thus point use it as normal but let the battery die one or two more times before charging it again. This should give your phone a nice solid calibration.
Good luck!
Just to add on to that one idea would be pull the batt. Five minutes should do it...when u restart what it reads will be "true". Some Roms have battery saving scripts and when you switch they take a min to go away while dalvik resets...leading to a rude awakening...lol

Gonna give my input. I was having a similiar problem. Battery draining like crazy. Dropping from 99 to 80 in like 30 mins of use. Finally got fed up and decided to go to a sprint repair and service center. Turns out the battery was shot to hell. Bloated. So they gave me a OG epic battery for the mean time and ordered me a new oem one. Free of charge with TEP Picking it up tuesday. Been using this OG epic battery and altough it does have less capacity it defiantly is draining more slowely. So try it out have them inspect yours.
I agree with "rwilco12"
Try booting into CWM and clear battery stats, restart your phone, run your phone until the battery is so low it shuts off. Then plug the phone in, turn it on, put it in airplane mode and let it charge to 100%.
This worked for me...
I'll try these suggestions. Thanks!

Guys
I have been having the same problem and try lots of things but what I did not try and just found out is that my phone has a 1500mHa instead off a 1800mHa Sprint store made a mistake and placed the wrong battery inside my phone.
Maybe some of the problems you guys are having is due to that fact.
Besides opening the phone there are several app that will actually tell you which battery you have I.E. Battery Monitor

I just downloaded that battery monitor and it said I have a 1500MAH battery too so I called sprint went down and got a new battery and when I opened my phone to put the new one in it turns out the one I have is a 1800 so I would not put much stock into what that Battery Monitor app says but hell I just got a free spare battery so it was still a win!

That app is set to 1500 by default. However, I do remember seeing a thread here and on AC about several of our phones that were shipped with the 1500 battery by mistake
I have 1800 and the method with the airplane mode worked

[Q] Battery Issue

So here's my problem:
About few weeks ago, my battery started to fooling with me. When I use it for Facebook, Twitter and normal web surfing, the battery goes down, fast, from 100% to 10% took only about one hour plus. Then I left it aside. Check it again after 30 minutes, the battery went up to 27%. So I think battery was miscalibrated so I tried to calibrate the battery using all the guides I can find on the net for weeks but none worked.
So what should I do? Should I change a new battery?
Did u try calibrate it properly, eg.. wait till its charged fully then wipe them. using an app from playstore is the best way. If u wipe stats when its not charged100% then it will start jumping percentages.

Standard batteries are terrible anyway. I couldn't do without my 3600mah one now.
As wedgess said, get an app for calibration. I use 'battery calibration' (simple enough) which works perfectly for me

PROBLEM SOLVED... this works with all xperia play models and it fits with the back cover that comes with the phone...O and it comes with the instruction on how to change the battery build prop.

Which means I'll need to get a new battery? No other way to save it?
Well try to underclock it and make the screen brightness lowest. Try to look at the battery stats too as you may have an app which is using a lot of resources of your phone. If you can live without your phone then switch it off completely, try to find the charger with highest mAh output (the higher the mAh output is the quicker it is charging), connect your turned off phone to the charger, make sure it's charging, leave it for 2 days charging like this and then disconnect it, boot it straight to the recovery, wipe the battery stats from recovery. If this is not going to help then I seriously have no idea what else you can do.

Phone's not overclocked, brightness is always low, I used it for texting my gf for whole day, played word search for a while and my phone left 50%, no data no WiFi nothing, When I turned on WiFi and keep using it, battery drops fast. Reached 4% I left it, went back to 16%, continue using, left 4 % again, left it again went back to 10%, then I used it till 4% again, now left 6%. Using stock charger but with different cable since my stock cable is broken. Is that related? If yes I'm going to get a new charger.

Yeah check the battery status. I had the same problem 3 months ago. I was forced to buy a new one.
Re: Please help with my battery problem..>.<
Your problem is NOT ROM related. The poor battery is a common issue with the W. I had my W for just over a year, and when it was claimed by my Son, it was on it's third battery....and I can confirm that I was experiencing similar performance issues to you.....the first battery failed while I was still running stock GB, so again I say your ROM has NOTHING to do with it....
Even if your battery isn't bloated, the fact that it's giving such poor performance is a clear indicator that it's time to replace it......

I had exactly the same sort of problem recently, especially the inconsistent battery level, although for me it showed up most often when taking photos using the flash.
The bottom line is that the battery is totally stuffed and needs replacing. I spent weeks trying to sort the issue out and no matter how many re-flashes of the ROM and full calibrations of the battery I did, the only cure was a new battery.
As soon as I had a new battery fitted and fully charged all the problems ceased straight away, I now get 1 - 2 days of use from a full charge and no random shut downs.
The old battery had started to swell, but was barely noticeable unless the battery was laid on a hard, flat surface which highlighted the bulge that had started to form near the bottom of the battery.
that's why unless you need to travel or are expecting a full day without access to a power plug, charge your battery to around 60-70%. This will reduce stress on your battery and it will bloat in a much later time xD!
on a side note, current rating of chargers will only affect the charging rate of your battery and will not cause any problem to its battery life. so high current charging is good ! (by high i mean 1A or 1.5A instead of the current 0.7A ones that Samsung gives us)
