to truly know what's the issue you need to

1) charge it 100%

2) use it as you normally would

3) once it reaches 10% or 50% and then 10%

go to settings > about phone > battery > battery use > take screenshots of the list and the graph also tap on each item on the list and copy everything post it here so we can help you

Your usage seems normal.

Some points to remember...

Turn off Live Wallpaper. It drastically use Xperia CPU and Display driver, thus Battery power. Change to normal wallpaper will help some.
Some app developers did not code well with power and wake-lock management. So, we must be carefull with newly installed apps. If an app is poorly programmed, it would never allow CPU to sleep and other hardware resources to standby.

I have a bought xperia U before 15 days and i am facing a battery issue.

The mobile heats up easily during 3g internet usage with full brightness, that is not the main problem though!!

When mobile battery reaches 40% or below (and is heated due to 3g use), there is some sound in the device and it shuts off just like that..

When i connect to the charger it starts only after 5 minutes and the battery shows 1% and charging..

I thought it would be an initial issue due to new battery but its not being solved.

Please help me.

Murtaza.

it's using 43% of that 10% of battery that was used, not that it used 40% of your total battery, how long was the Display on?
