Is something wrong with my Xperia Play R800x?

Ok well let me just start off by saying. I LOVE this forum and the helpful and friendly people. Lemme give ya a run down on what I'm rockin' on this marvelous piece of technology.
Bootloader Unlocked - Check
Root - Check
R800x Timescape UK Firmware ROM - Check
V6 Supercharger - Check (Could use help making it start on boot.)
Better Battery Stats - Check (Could also use some more help since I'm a noob XD. More below!)
Battery Life - QUESTIONABLE
And here lies my problem here. Ever since I switched to the UK Firmware from Verizon's I've noticed the phones true potential and love the UK Firmware. However what is up with the terrible battery life? I've tried everything... It seems to DRAIN 1% every 5 minutes when I'm at school!!
BetterBatteryStats talks about wakelocks. I get this one sometimes called UID and have no idea what it is, and have looked for a solution but found never in ACTUAL terms I could understand. Also there's a blue bar and a red bar on the stats for those. Can someone please tell me the difference between them?
I've deleted Juice Defender as some people said it actually DRAINS your battery more. I've also heard this phone lasts sometimes 3-4 days on a FULL CHARGE?! I'd like that please! :O
Well when I'm at school I put my phones Brightness to 30%, Vibrate, and off WiFi.
I listen to Music and that seems to drain the battery ALOT more than I think it should.
Also, when playing Asphalt 6 HD, I was at 57% battery, I played for maybe under 10 minutes and had 44% LEFT!!! That's TERRIBLE!
Can someone please tell me how to make my battery last like others have it?
I also have 2X Battery installed but disabled and only showing my battery % on my taskbar up top.
Thanks again in advance for your answers and I hope I have provided enough info. THANKS!

If u don't use it during school then power it off. Also kill some tasks so your phone won't work hard and kill morw battery life.

I do use it during school. Sometimes as a Calculator, to text my family or if they have to call me in case of emergencies. I also game on it at lunch or listen to music when on a free period so...
And I do kill tasks all the time. It seems to just open themselves back up. Also I played Dead Space last night with 100% charge for maybe about an hour or 2 and the damn battery drained down to 55%!!!
I was on WiFi as well...

You honestly can't expect a game such as that to run on this phone and merely sip at the battery's juice. The percentage remaining when coming out of an intensive task, such as watching video or playing a game, isn't entirely accurate. Check the battery again after a few minutes of idle time, and it should be a little higher than it was before.
I use an app called Battery Defender. It's very easy to set up, and the main option is to kill the 3G data while the screen is off. You're still able to receive calls and texts and such, but the data is off, since you're not using it. That saves a lot of battery for me. You can also set it on a timed profile, where it shuts off all network connectivity during a set time.

Thanks I'll give that app a try.
Also I just feel I'm being mis-leaded by others then. Because I read on the android Forums people play games from 1-2 hours, stop, go to the store or mall for like 5 hours, come home, play again for another hour, and sleep and wake up with it at 7% charge or something.
Are you saying ti's normal for my battery to suck that much juice on Dead Space?

Dead Space is one of the most graphics intensive games you'll get to see in this phone. It's not Cut the Rope...

Well.. despite my other questions is anyone able to answer them..? ABout the battery stats app and such?
Also what would seem to be a normal rate of 1% battery loss? How many mins or hours do you think seems normal?

Did you wipe your battery stats before installing the rom? Let it drain to 0%, charge it without interruption? after that then you must let it drain fully and recharge too 100% without interruption again. This will "train" the battery. I have a battery calibration app if you'd like to use it

I would suggest you to do a fresh install. Wipe everything and start afresh. Don't restore anything and see what happens.

Yes I have done this. But ONCE. I haven't let it die again yet. Using Battery Defender is saving it's battery atm. Should I kill it again and let it do so?
Also for the Battery Calibration don't I have to do some weird thing with getting the phone to power on without the battery?

Thanks for your input, but I have too many things on my phone right now that I would lose. I wouldn't want to lose all my data.

Make a backup of all your data, then do a fresh install. The battery calibration app is simple, charge your phone to 100% and click calibrate. Then let it die to 0% and fully charge without any disruption..it's pretty simple

Must I make a fresh install or can I do it without a fresh install?

The battery calibration has nothing to do with a full wipe and reinstall. The fresh install is simply to fix problems that you are having, that no one else has, or doesn't have in such great force.
If you're worried about losing your data, get an app called Titanium Backup. It will allow you to backup your apps and app data to your sd card, then restore them at any time you deem necessary. There is a free version, but I would definitely recommend buying the unlock key. It makes your restores faster, and enables some specific functions that are locked out of the free version. This is my third Android phone, and the app has proven its usefulness time and time again, across each of them. It's the best way to port installed apps from phone to phone, as well.

Here's the thing. I have Titanium Backup. XD And also, I have done a Fresh Install before because I had this ROM then I switched to ICS Beta which was terrible so I fresh installed the UK Rom again and it didn't make a difference to when I had it before ICS BETA, so does that count? x.x

Well...it seemed my battery life was better on the STOCK Verizon ROM but that ROM sucks for everything else..

So does anyone have the link to that battery calibrator app?

[Q] Why is my phone not going into deep sleep?

For some reason my M9 doesn't want to go into deep sleep much. Out of the 1 hour I have it off the charger, only 2 minutes were in deep sleep. I haven't used the phone at all in that 1 hour, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't be sleeping.
Does anyone have this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks

I've used a very similar app. There are no wake locks. All it says is "Android OS" is using 100% of the screen off battery. Even in the normal HTC battery settings, android OS is using 100%. Thanks for the help though.

System Panel is neither similar nor showing you those funny wakelocks..
It thoroughly informs you about CPU usage last night..

Thanks, but all those apps are the same. They can only get a certain amount of info from the core system. There are apps that do the exact same thing for free, which is what I use.
As an update to my problem, rebooting the phone and clearing cache seemed to have solved the issue for now.

If you run out of ideas on how to fix this, I'd say get root, get Xposed, and get Power Nap. Pretty much blocks all wakelocks at night and I see like 1% drain the next morning.

Wait...xposed works on 64bit phones? Wow I've been missing out for nothing lol.

Yes, but make sure you use the xposed arm64 file.

This thread has the stuff
Here's the zip you want xposed-sdk21-arm64.zip
And you also need the alpha installer.

Hi ,
What's SOT means? And what other stats are required?

Screen On Time. Show me a screen shot of the history details. You just click on the battery stats and it'll show the history details.

Hope the below screenshot is expected from me.

youre charging your phone lol... You have to show everyone a clear battery cycle. Meaning charge your phone all the way to 100 until a low percentage. Then take a screen shot. Show us the SOT and the history details. I'm guessing you have a lot of wakelocks.

Okay will take a SS n post my usage. I have not enabled any wakelocks to any app. Any way to find that?

I had a recent issue with battery drain as well. Read in 1 of the threads that it could be due to using Magisk and activating Magisk hide. Not sure if you're rooted but if so, and you use Magisk, you might want to see if that is your culprit.

In the ss the second most consuming thing is android system. Used to go to sleep and wake up with the same % but now it consumes 1-2 % at night. And that is only because of Android system that appeared a couple of weeks ago. Except from cleaning cache there is nothing else on the web , only a software reset. Anyone else with high Android system consumption?

Weird battery bug! Can anyone explain?

Anyone else facing something like this?? Also at times my battery indicator shows wrong percentage by miles and i have to hard reboot by pressing the power button for 15-20 seconds.
Example it will show 30% before and after hard reboot it will show 60%.. Something is terribly wrong.
Please find the screenshot

I have the same problem after December update. And my phone keeps randomly rebooting.

My rebooting issues was due to Opera (i think) being ad blocked by Blokada. Uninstalled and no more random reboot for 1 day now. The random reboot is what lead me to find this battery bug.
There is another thread that mentions about the battery graph issue which is due to charging to 80% (accubattery guudance) and thus not resetting battery stats. Habe u tried charging to 100% and see if the issue still persist? I have tried on mine for 2 times in the last 4 days but is still showing the same problem.
One screenshot showing the jump in battery percentage and another showing roughly like your screenshot. The problem with mine is that if i charge to 100%. It is ok for a while, i.e does not show 48days ago but after random reboots it goes back to the 48days ago type graph.

There used to be a battery app that deleted the batterystats.bin file to correct anomalies in battery life and not showing charge to 100%.
If rooted, you can just delete the batterystats.bin yourself, it regenerates automatically upon reboot.
Find it here: data/system/batterystats.bin

Oh! Yes it did vanish after i charged it to 90% but this discrepancy in battery percentage is really not good and I'm not sure how much I'm really charging because sometimes after I hard reboot the difference is 10%

Thanks! No worries!
I think I'll see for few days if it's not constant then the only option is to do a factory reset i suppose!

I did a factory reset and the problem persist so contacted Google for RMA. Lucky European region has 2 year warranty. Your mileage may vary. I suspect mine is a battery issue as it's not widespread with other user in this forum.
