So how is autonomy for the Wildfire's battery?

Yes, people who have already received this unit, how is the battery life in a not very intensive use? It has something to do with the advertised 690 hours?
Thanks for the answers.

The Battery
The battery is more efficient than that of Desire and with the same use more than double the autonomy!

Thanks for the reply.
And how many days does it last?

depends on your usage, coverage etc
i get 2-4 days on the wildfire
and 1-2 days on the nexus one

OK. Tank you for the information.

2 days, not so many calls.
but maps, wifi, game a lot.more than 1 hours a day.
feels good than other smart phone i used.

I'm not getting anywhere near this sort of battery life. I've had the phone just over a week, and I'm having to charge it twice a day. I woke up this morning and the battery was on red. Previously I'd thought it was feral apps, but today it had been on for 16 hours and reported
cell standby 34%
phone idle 33%
android system 19%
open gps tracker 6%
display 6%
voice calls 2%
(that's not the only apps I'd been running. I'd also used Google Listen and Hapi podcast)
I've tried the battery tuning techniques, so my battery must be as good as it can be.
Any suggestions welcome
Edit: I realised that I also had "Guardian Anywhere" that had downloaded the complete contents of a newspaper overnight, but didn't show up on battery usage. I think that might explain things. More later, when I see how it behaves with that off

full charged , i was listening for 4 consecutive hours music because of a trip , then normal usage with 3-4 phone calls about 20 minutes a day , camera , wifi , games , texting . battery lasted for 3 days ! it was very good . when im having long lasting phone calls (about 2 hours a day) while using apps too , i have to charge it every 2 days .

WOWWWWW i only get a day of battery with my wildfire with not much usage, also what is autonamy?

I get 1-3 days worth of usage.

Turn off GPS, Wifi and 3G when your not using it, saves a lot of batterytime.

Lasts me about 3 1/2 - 4 days.
That would include a total of 40-60 mins of calling and texting.
No browsing, music, videos or even gaming.

Before I put ATK, my battery lasted 2 days with minimal use. Now I have almost 4 days with normal use.

what is ATK ?

My only guess is Android Task Killer.

To All the guys with 2-3 battery life, are u on stock Rom(2.1 or 2.2) or have you been using custom roms or some apps like setcpu?
My battery lasts just a day and I'm on official froyo.

Just made a test : I flash the RUU (2.1, the same original version I had with the phone) did not install anything, no wifi, no 3g, no call ... and did not even use it, just waited.
result : from full to empty battery : 11 hours.

at beginning it was like one day, then i just turned off background data (had fb and gmail sync) and now it is 2-3 days , with moderate usage, calls, msgs, net, fb...

If I really use it (music, apps, games, wifi, BT, 3G, text, phone calls) lasts ~2 days.

Battery life depends also on the network coverage. When it is poor, the phone will consume more energy (must give more power to antenna). 3G consumes less energy when you are near the BTS (transmitter), but more when you are far from BTS. So, when you live in the city - choose 3G, when you live in the countryside - choose 2G. Battery off your phone will live longer

[Q] Battery consumption: I need your help for a comparison

I found a very good program for my Motorola MB525 (Defy) for monitoring the battery draining from the market.
It's name is Batery Monitor Widget and it's free.
With 81% of battery it says only 7 hours and 16 minute left without doing anthing!!! The data is on and Wi-Fi connected to my home network.
Is it normal?? In the night in airplane mode after 9 hours it drain 8%-9% of battery. Again: is it normal???
If you can try this application and report your results...I think there is some application that drain my battery!!
Thanks!

Not really a comparison here, just a little story.
Yesterday i screwed up my Defy playing around with some rom. Nothing terrible, but i had no time to re-flash another rom, i had to go to work. So, i pickep up my old SE xperia x1.
After an entire day, 4-5 calls and several sms, that phone drained less than 10%. Then, last night i put the x1 in stand-by, well, that was a real stand-by, no power consumption at all.
Now i'm back to Defy, 2 hours, 15% drained...
All this just to say android is amazing but terribly hungry of power, even when the screen is off, even when airplane mode is on. I don't need a comparison to know about it
EDIT:
you said your wifi was left on, well android is hungry of data too. Even if you do nothing while wifi is on an amount of data still flows, sometimes i can see several mb downloaded by my Defy in a few hours, but no real usage by me. This also contributes, you should try to turn the wifi off or disable background data when you don't need it.

In standby (3g, sync only calendar and contacts) I have 1-1.5% battery consumption / hour. I think this is normal
With my normal usage i have some 20-40% left at the end of the day... also Ok.
WIFI on & connected will consume a lot of battery so I am not surprised.
BTW I also had an Xperia X1 and the consumption was roughly the same as the Defy... In fact more than 1-2 days on a charge I very rarely had on any of my smartphones with normal usage.

last week I was working in the forest for a few days with no signal at all, so I turned on airplane mode: I remember it going from 45% in the morning to 42% in the late afternoon!
(with everything turned off, just used it occasionally to have an idea of what time it was)

It's ok to be an android fan, i like it too, as i said it is amazing. But, battery life is definitely NOT the strong point. I can compare the two phones now, at this moment. Honestly Defy's battery life is a lot shorter.

what's the other phone you compared?

I really don't have problem with Defy's battery life. As far as my memory serves, all cell phones I ever owned (7~8, all nokia, se, moto) could standby (just standby and don't use at all) for a week or made around 5 hours call. In my case Defy can also standby for a week or allow 5~6 hours usage.
I'm on a 2g network (probably helps alot), as I have wifi at home and at work. I have an exchange email, a gmail, 2 yahoo mails, and a weather app, all allowed to sync at default settings. I don't have facebook or twitter. GPS and bluetooth are enabled only when necessary (occasionally). I overclock Defy to 1000Mhz with SetVsel, and underclock to 300 when screen off. With conscious observation over some time, I find that 1% battery is consumed around every:
- 2 hours standby with wifi off; or
- 1 hour standby with wifi on; or
- 3~5 minutes usage (calls, emails, surfing,...)

thats some amazing battery life u got there abc ...what rom are u using?

hey guys, just a quick question. with which setting do you think i'll have longer battery life: 800MHz/58vsel or 1000MHz/56vsel? btw, i got my phone stable at 800MHz/45vsel

I was using the orange 2.2, and am using the finland 2.2 now. Both have similar battery usage.
But I have uninstalled some stock applications which I don't use but keep running in background, like BlurHome.apk (with Launcherpro), InPocketService.apk, ToggleWidgets.apk (with ExtendedControls), WeatherWidget.apk (with FancyWidget), VSuiteApp.apk etc.

You may be right, I had the Xperia X1 something like 1 year ago.
I had until now FSC T830, HTC Hermes, HTC Diamond, Xperia X1, Samsung i7500 Galaxy (my first Android), Acer Liquid and now the Defy. As far as I remember I always had to charge every night (or every 2 nights at best)
Overall I think Android battery life is worse than Windows mobile was BUT I also have more background programs running now than I had in the WM days.
What I definitely don't like in Android battery life is lack of consistency. One week you get30-40 hours at a charge and suddenly 12 hours... Than you have to make detective work: look what new App might be the guilty one, check what's running in background, reboot and see if it happens again, factory reset, etc. I guess this is the price of freedom

Im on uk 2.2 and i get three days at a push i jus have a weather widget on sync every 3 hours.
Iv also undervolted 300/16 600/29 800/39 with setvsel on performance mode and up threshold on 99% and limit to vsel 1 when screen iz off
Im on three uk so im constonly on 3g and use no wifi etc etc with normal sms usage and a few calls through out off 1 charge

There has to be something wrong in your case. I find that there seems no wifi/2g/3g connection. Could that be the problem?

I dont use 3g ..cuz its expensive in my country ..and I only turn wifi on when I need it
And that shouldnt be the case ...I think id loose a lot more battery if wi-fi would be on all the time

[DISCUSSION] Xperia S battery life

Had my beautiful white S for 24 hours now. Overall very positive, except battery life so far. Drained 23 % overnight from a 100% charge. In only 7 hours I had NO activity. BT and WiFi on.
I hope this will improve very soon. That is a no go. Would like to hear from you about your experience regarding your new Xperia S.
Sent from my LT26i using XDA

For me, I removed junk I don't use, like foursquare. That alone made a huge difference. I also turn off data at night, and only went down about 4% while I slept.
Another option is to install something like JuiceDefender, which automatically shuts down data except switching it on every hour or so to allow for some syncs, then shuts it down again.

same as my arc, drained about 30% in the first day, with time it'll be better.

i was about to ask the same question. 7 hours seems about right, but i have been doing a lot of app installs, so I will give it time to settle down.

I use the XS in Hong Kong. If I use the phone online to play with internet browser, battery will be drained from 100% to 69% in approx. 1 hour. Is it too fast? Or it just a normal way when compare with SII or GN?

The display sucks battery life like a vampire in a young virgin woman buffet. Try reducing the brightness.
Hopefully firmware updates will help there.

Ohh yes. U are soo right. Had my phone now for 4 days. The display uses an average of 70% of the overall battery consumption. It is not WiFi, calls, BT or any other functions. It is the display that drains. Will give it the weekend to see if it improves. If not I will return it on Monday :-( And my brightness is down on less than 25% so not much to do there.

I get about the same on my Arc. I dont know if it's too fast or not, but if your pretty much constant on the net for an hour say then 69% isn't all that bad.

Had an Arc for around one year. On a daily average the screen took about 55% and I had no problems to get a full day out of it. (approx 16 to 18 hours) and still 10-15% juice left. Now I get max 10-12 hours out of my S and NO juice left. Really disappointing. Even my old X10 did better than my new S.

Surely the HD display amongst other things, ie how you have your phone set up, may go someway to why your experiencing poor battery life compared to your Arc.

Try to disable Bravia engine and see if you notice any difference especially during the night.

My phone has the same apps as my Arc, actually minus few of them.
No autosync etc.
Basically it drains the battery quick, it's unacceptable. It behaves exactly like one of the older Arc firmwares, which was also draining battery like crazy.
Than they fixed it and it's still brilliant. My Arc on Flight Mode beeing just a backup in case of any problems, runs 3rd day on one charge, still 75% left.
I think S is just not optimized and it makes me mad.

Just got My XS yesterday I did one fully charge this morning . Turned off data at home, will not know until battery is fully charged by a few cycles. I love the phone irrespective of the flaws. I think may be see in a week or 2 where my battery settles.

Again. 25% battery drain in only 6 hours over night. No physical activity at all. This baby goes back on Monday :-(

3g turn on with weather widget in background only, 4% drain overnight, but with heavy usage (game, internet suffering...) it lasts about 7 hours, that's good.

You can use Profile Scheduler (free from market) and set a schedule.
I've set the schedule in which the airplane mode will be activated at 12.00 am and turned back to normal at 6.00 am.
By this way, my phone battery drains overnight just only 2-4%.
Let's try man

Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium

I actually agree with that tbh, and another thing is battery life all depends on how the individual uses their phone.
I had the sgs2 and alot of people said oh the battery life is rubbish but yet they had:
screen brightness on 100%
3g, wi-fi, bluetooth always on
live wallpapers running.
Plus they were using the internet for like 2hours
sending numerous emails
playing games
listening to music
I mean come on its a phone at the end of the day, its not a super computer or something or some nuclear powered device.
I nearly 2 days out of my sgs2 under moderate - quite heavy usage
because I turned my screen brightness all the way down
didnt leave 3g, wi-fi, bluetooth on all the time only when i needed to use those features, i never used live wallpapers and i dont send numerous emails.
when i had the play again people said the battery life was rubbish but again i got about 1day 10hours or a bit more sometimes based on the above mentioned info.
so as long as my SXS last 1day even I dont mind that because at the end of the day it has a HD screen so its going to use alot of power.

Okay so on my third day with the phone...
my battery is fine, actually...more than fine. I turn off my wi-fi/bluetooth/gps when not needed, and I don't run my battery heavy apps for a long time.
I also installed a task killer...I know it's in theory not needed, but I will see how it goes.
woke up around 7 today, used my wifi, used a battery intensive app (dream zoo , it's an addiction) for like 15min or so. Went for a walk, used the camera...a LOT, made a lot of panorama pictures. It's now almost 11:15 and i'm only down less than 15% I believe.
It's got much better battery usage than my X10 to be honest...but this is a high-end full HD phone, I wasn't expecting my battery to last so well D:
I will update again at the end of the day about how low it got, but I am pleased with it.

[Q] Xperia S battery life very poor, its normal?

I just acquired a Xperia S one week ago, and then i realized that battery is very poor. with full charging it got three hours of use to hit 15%, during these three hours the phone was in flying/airplane mode. The first two hours i used memedroid with wi-fi and opera mobile navigation and downloads, the last hour i played temple run 2. Its normal such battery life? before this phone i had a lg p990 which i considered very very poor the battery life, but the xperia s just broke the record. sorry for bad english, i'm brazilian '-'

my average battery usage is about 9 hours, usually unplug from charger about around 7am, around 4pm battery empty.

Androids aren't popular for battery life. But it can be increased by doing several customizations since Androids are meant for customizations.
So before complaining please check the battery life related threads in General sections. You'd find many tweaks and tips from other users.

Hello Jr, i´m BR too. Write in english ...bad english....rs
My battery life in LT26i is 12h with all things "on": BT, GPS, 3G and WIFI. I install PAC ROM V19 , but when i have Stock ROM my battery life is the same with updated system. Maybe your phone have any problem and you can change if have NF and between 7 days of purchase. You see the "battery stats" in "Setting" to see how apks drain battery ?

Hello m8 .
There are several ways to check if your battery is OK (but I think it should be, as Android device with HD screen just eat battery)
First of all, we can check if you battery health is good. To do that, in phone dialer enter this code: *#*#7378423#*#* (it's same as: *#*#SERVICE#*#*). There enter to "Service tests" > Battery Health Test. In my phone it looks like in photo in attachment. Don't worry if value in "Actual Batt(uAh)" is lower than 1750mAh. When you use your phone correctly, I can be around 1650~, too, but after fully charging this "counter" sometimes reset. More important thing is information, that health is good, and battery is no need to be replaced.
If this part is correct, now enter Settings > Battery. Here you can find information what consume your battery in pertencage of currently "eaten" % battery (example: You have 80% battery remaining, so you've lost 20%. There's information, that "Screen" or anything else eat 60% of battery. It means, that in these 20% of current lost battery -> It has been lost for screen).
Most discharging things in our phone are:
Screen - try to turn off Mobile Bravia Engine if not used (not watching movies), and decrease brightness.
WiFi & Data Transfer - If not used, turn off your WiFi.
Hope this helps

Also remember that the first charges are smaller.

Hopefully I'm helping an not hindering...so here we go.
I ran AnTuTu tester on my Sony XPERIA S 1750mAh battery which is reported to be in good health.
Now I'm not sure how much faith I place in this application as it didn't list my CPU usage, where on my XPERIA X10i it did.
My XPERIA S is rooted and using RaymanFX' ELiTE kernel with GPU and CPU over-clocked.
I started the test with my battery fully charged.
I got a battery life from 100% to 19% of 1hr and 50min using a 1750mAh battery on a dual-core CPU clocked at 1566MHz.
Yes, I know, that scared me too.
The same test on my Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i returned the following.
I got a battery life from 100% to 19% of 3hr and 17min using a 1800mAh battery on a single-core CPU clocked at 1113MHz.
Now this may not be as bad as things look as we have two CPUs ripping into a battery compared to 1 CPU so there may be pause for reflect and thought on this battery usage in this case.
So, long story short, if you run the same test at 1.5GHz (stock ROM) and you get a battery life of approx 1hr and 50mins (or more) using the AnTuTu Tester your battery should be able to give you a days usage in moderation.
This is not exactly science, but it may give some indication if your XPERIA S(LT26i) 1750mAh battery is operating in a 'normal' threshold.

Since i bought my phone the mobile bravia engine is turned on.... i did the test and the battery health is good, i will try to close apps and decrease the brightness, and see if a get a decent battery life. I use only wifi, no data transfer, and 2G connection. If i cant get success i will wait for sony's JB update.

The guy who posted the benchmark up there should be reminded that you're using a dual core in Xperia S plus each core is built on 45nm technology which means that the newer snapdragon phones are likely to be more battery conservative than the one used in xperia s because it produced around double the heat...

I changed my omnia II ([email protected]) to xperia s and I was shocked with its battery. now I got used to charging it twice a day with really heavy use or once for two days with normal use.

> Go for a ROM with minimum size and least applications. This lighter ROM saves battery by eliminating the junk running in the stock's background. Less CPU usage = Less battery drain
> Reduce the brightness to save power since the 4.3" 720p is a battery hog.

But don't be worried (if you were), almost all androids suck at battery timing.

I relocked my bootloader and installed the original firmware and now android system is using up 66%.. though it still lasts 14 to 15 hours with average use, it can be much more, but i've no idea what the problem is.
BBS says "AlarmManager", but since I don't have root anymore I can't figure out which process/app is getting all these partial wakelocks :crying:

Battery question

Guys,
can someone (2, or 3 people) post their battery estimated time left when the phone is 100% charged. I think i have a faulty one but i dont remember what was the estimated time left for a phone with good battery. I know its estimated but i have mine showing 15 hours left when 100 charged, so i think its dying again...
Someone? PLease?

three days and 20 hours, still on original battery.

My device Z1c rooted and Existenz custom ROM using...in my device it showing 1 day and 30 mins. So my battery is faulty...?

Your battery is dying. Time to get a new one. There is a thread for that issue here.

Battery currently 50% and says I have approx 1day and 1hour left.(stock Android 5.1)
My GSAM Battery Monitor says I get average 1day 19hr per charge with average over 2months.
I'm on stock 5.1 with root access and have my phone tool'd up with frequency/governor management and stuff like powersave governor for screen off and etc.
Battery use is very subjective on a wide range of settings, location, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, telephony signal strength, LTE and general usage patterns, so one person's setting/use will not reflect another.
That said, one should get 24hrs easy even with over 4hrs SOT.

Do you think that the estimated time left showing is relative to the user experience/history?
I got 15 hours estimated time left when 100%, bu I play a lot of games with it, thats why I ask. If its not, than my battery is dying...

The Z1C battery stat's reflect the current real-time usage and project the available time left based on what is currently happening.
If your phone is configured optimally and you don't use your phone over night, it should only use approx 5% of battery.
If you use GSAM Battery Monitor you can check if any apps are keeping your phone awake, number of time your phone is woken and high CPU users.
You can check for telephony signal strength.
My phone is 100% signal strength (very good)
How much power is used to keep your screen displayed, with dimmer better.
Also you can see if your phone is in deep sleep when phone is not in use.
Over a 12hour period my phone is in deep sleep for 9hrs.
Use another phone for a couple of days and leave the Z1C with screen off for those few days.
If not used you should see over 3 days of battery life.
There is no answer to your question.
At the end of the day it's up to you to optimise your phone as best you can and base your decisions on previous battery use/experience with your known workloads.
If you're not gaming for a day or two and you have your phone as optimised as you can, then, 15hrs is crap and your battery is on the way out.

Sot = 47 mins.
Yep, battery is dying
damn

Sony Xperia Z1C Battery
Attached is a snapshot of the battery use in my Z1C running Android 5.1 stock with root access.
As noted, when the phone is not in use the battery almost flat-lines with very little use.
When battery use is almost a perfect triangle on the two axis and from 100 to 0%, then it's a good indicator the battery is failing/failed.
Replacing a battery on a Xperia Z1C ...well it sucks...to say the least :crying:
You need to add additional adhesive on the top left near the camera location as that's the area that tends to come unstuck after the back cover is replaced.
Also good batteries for an Xperia Z1C may be hard to find now.
The original batteries are marked with the manufacture date as yy-ww (Year and week[0-52])
If you find an original battery AND it DOESN'T have the NFC conductor glued on it, then you have a good chance of getting a good battery.
If the NFC conductor is glued onto the battery, then there is every chance the battery is just an old one pulled out of a previous Xperia Z1C.
Good luck.

Thanks man. How much SOT do you have in a 100% cycle? Your battery seems like awsome watching that print screen.
My little z1c is a frankenstein. I already changed the battery one time, the back cover 4, times. I repaired the mic, and changed the screen two times.
My screen is a generic one wich must be set to 100% auto brightness.. That also affects battery, but even so i think my batt is dying...

A tube of glue and an Xperia Z1C are almost synonymous with each other these days.
I had to glue the bottom speaker cover and the magnetic charger back on again... plus the back cover several times.
Currently I have used 25% of the battery and 2hrs SOT as seen in the attached.
I get a reported ~7hrs of on screen time per 100% charge cycle.
Email, WhatsApp, web browsing using RSS in Opera Mini, Tapatalk, Shopping apps, system/file management, Youtube and etc... (No gaming nor social Facebook, Twitter, Tinder...and etc)
Deleted all Bloatware out of /system/app and system/priv-app.
Update - ..ummm.. is Clash of Clans and Battle Command gaming...me thinks not.. but maybe it is.. ..any way throw a 15min mix of that into the pot too.
If you're not using much CPU you'll get more SOT, which is why gaming is a bad indicator as it's hard on CPU and screen, unless you have a game that does not get updated anymore(known stable unchanged test environment) and you benchmarked it a few years ago.
Then you can use the same game as a good indicator for any current status changes.

2 hrs SOT is awsome for 25% battery. I got 1 hour for 100%. But it doesnt mater. I bought another generic battery yesterday (originals are almost impossible to find). So lets see what it happens after.
