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.

So you leave it on charge for the whole night ?

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 WOW!

Might be an anomaly but wow! Using a standard qcell with nfc.

That would make more sense. I was trying to remember if I had swapped batteries out and couldn't remember. Sucks being old Wasn't even looking at the graph either. Feel pretty stupid about now. Thanks for that. j/k Why didn't it reset when the battery changed?

No clue, mind of its own I reckon. Sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt. I'm sure there is an actual real answer, but I don't know it lol

I'm not sure if the phone can tell the change in battery as it doesn't have any hardware id per say. About the graph, it only resets on a full charge?

i have rooted, changed rom and kernel and i am not getting that much better battery life.. my phone was 100% over night when I woke up it was at 91%. i googled 1 thing and went down to 83%. not sure what to say about this anymore...

I get about 2 days with 3 hours on. Works for me.

2 days 3 hours? are you using your phone or just letting it sit there?

Ummmmm I use it when I need to. Im not a "heavy" user I guess. But it works for me. I don't care much about battery life. As long as it lasts a day that's fine for me. I have a charger at work, car and home so I don't worry about it. You have to realize, I charge before I go to bed. So the phone sits all night for about 8 hours. Then goes the full day. Then again that night it sits for about another 8 hours. So there are pretty much 2 nights where it sits and is not being used.

I use to get a day and a half charge same method but now my phone dies so quickly I don't if my car charger could be the reason for the sudden change I've been using it a lot for gps

I had a problem with mine the other night too, I charged it, took it off the charger at 100% and 15 mins later it was down to 91 % without being used. Within two hours it was down to 31% and extremely hot with no use. When I checked what was using the battery it showed android os . I did a factory reset and the phone has amazing battery life again!!!

I also can make 2 days easily using the phone, browsing the news and taking emails (3 accounts).
How ? No GPS, no LTE, disabled all bloatwares, auto brightness on, bluetooth on only 1 hour each day while driving to/from work.

How do you disable bloatware

Most of the bloatwares can be disabled by going to the Settings-Application Manager and then select All. Now select an app, for example at&t navigator, you'll see a button that says Disable, hit that button and you have successfully disabled that app. Do the same for rest of the other app.
Note: some of the default apps won't need disabled, until you are rooted and have Titanium backup.

new note 7 battery life

Anyone got the replacement note 7 notice anything different in battery life with the upgraded fire proof battery?

i got one last night and cant tell any difference yet. it last just like my s7 edge did

it will probably take a few days for the battery to normalize after day to day usage before anyone can really report on it.

Getting poor life at moment, gsam showing deep sleep 0%. Install same apps as on old one not sure what's happening yet.

It took me a couple days before I actually got good battery life. Needs to set in, what I recommend doing is fully charge it and let it get down to in-between 1 and 5 percent before charging again. Don't do any in-between charging, at least that's what works for me.

My explodey Note 7 didn't get bad battery life at all. I couldn't complain one bit and was happy with it. This new Note 7 though... I think I got a real winner. It's less than 24 hours after switching and by this time of day I'm used to seeing the battery at about 62% give or take, but I'm at 84%. I'm sure it's placebo but I also feel this Note is just the tiny bit smoother and less laggy in the UI. Again, I had zero complaints about my first one so I suspect there's going to be sample variances across all spectrums with this.

Got rid of my voip app zoiper now got 49% cpu deep in gsam . So looks like bad apps.

Need a week or so. My blowy Note 7 had exceptional battery life after a bit of usage.

My replacement straight out of the box , charged to 100% and have had awesome battery life. Last night I was at 6hrs 20 mins of on screen time. And had 25% left. And my phone not 1 time got hot. I think this one is a keeper

I can attest to the battery not getting hot often like it used to before.... I have like 60 apps installed, and normal use before would have my note7 burning hot. Now.... Not so much! [emoji1]

This. Exactly my experience too. The replacement phone battery is a bit better (36 hours to go from 100% to 1% with moderate use, no gaming), phone doesn't seem laggy, and most important it does not get as warm as the old one did.

Got my overnight standby drain down to 0.7%/hr from 1.4% uninstalled bbc news and amazon shopping apps.

like another poster said, my first one was great but something about this new one is even better. it doesn't get hot and i can tell there's a significant difference in battery life. it's seemingly lasting much longer than the first

I think I may know whats going on. I think the percentage for nova you see is cumulative between charges. How many days are in between your charges?
I charge my phone every 4 - 5 days. Right now my sot is about 4 hours @ 53% battery. My last charge was 3 days and 20 hours ago.
Let me know how many days are in between your charges.. appreciate it.

As I said, I'm heavy user, I charge every morning up to 95% and in the evening there is 20-30% left. Havent paid attention to SOT.
My previous phones were Mi Max, Mi Max3 and Honor Note 10. Max'es hold battery remarkable better, Mate 20x is close to Honor Note 10, our phone's screen is really-really big.

Battery Drains When It Hits 25% - Why and How to Fix?

Hi guys. My battery does great until it hits 25% at which point it drains fast for unknown reasons. Is it possible that one part of the battery is defective, such that the battery does fine until it has 25% left? Is there a fix for that? Or is it possible to remove the battery and replace it with a new one?

Thats crazy. So this isnt an isolated case its a common phenomenon with this phone.
I was thinking about replacing the battery which has its risks but now that I read about you having the same issue I'll decide against inheriting that risk.

What do you mean by 'fast'. I've had my ALOO for 2 years and have noticed a slight reduction in overal battery life (as to be expected) which does appear to drain slightly quicker after 25% but it could not be described as "fast".

So it goes from 25% to zero within 2 hours with similar usage prior to it eaching 25%. I'd call that fast
Mine takes about 18 hours to reach 25% from full charge with normal usage then about 4 hours to reach zero. I dont consider that fast but power lose is quicker.
Hence my question. Fast is meaningless without sone form of a definition.

My phone takes 3 - 4 days from full charge to 25%. Thereafter it drains to 0% in less than 6 hours.
Mostly everyone who owns a 20x have similar battery life with exception to those with abnormal drain myself and another user on this thread included.
Fast is a relative term yet everyone understands 'fast' when compared to the rest of their battery life.

So we have very similar usage and drain times. I've just put that down to one of those things to be expected as the battery gets older. i.e. not abnormal. Guess it's down to a matter of differing expectaions/perceptions.

No we dont have similar drain times. You said this:
"Mine takes about 18 hours to reach 25%. So it goes from 25% to zero within 2 hours with similar usage prior to it reaching 25%."
Contrast to my battery of 3 - 4 days normal usage followed by a steep decline from 25% - 0% in less than 6 hours.
I dont see the similarity between our phones.
.

18 hours normal usage for me = 3 to 4 days for me. That's about 6 to 4.5 hours usage per day.
