battery problem

shantanubaji — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 11:15:39 GMT

my XU had gingerbread on it
even then it consumes a lot of battery
i have to charge it almost thrice to four times a day
even in the night, on standby, it consumes 25 to 30 of the battery which i check the next day mornin
can anyone suggest me some solution for it
maybe some app or anythin which will help
and if i upgrade to ICS then will it solve the problem by Sony's Extended Standby Mode ???

That's a lot. I use mine all day and don't need to charge that much. Have you been leaving gps and wireless on all day.? And is your display on maximum brightness?

You can use some Apps to help you to change the settings. And you can let some some apps which you don't need off.

Those are not a solution. Turn off pretty much everything? And then what, buy a SG mini? :smileygrin: That battery drain has other causes. WiFi, 3G and bluetooth don't use much of battery, I didn't notice much difference with or without them. Could be an app, could be a bug, a factory reset could help. Or a battery removing and putting it back again. And that Live manager app settings also is messing up the battery. Usually it takes 2 hrs charging and 2 days (1 day on Android battery graph, effective use) of moderate using with bluetooth and WiFi on.

As 1st backup your data and make Factory Reset - find it in somewhere in phone seetings. Regarding display - I'm using 100% brightness and my battery holds 7 days. So check that factory reset as 1st and you'll see... if you don't solve your problem, upgrade to ICS...

i have had the same problem.. 25-30% drain overnight with nothing on. switching to gsm only network mode solves the problem. i dont know.. my gb version used to last 4 or 5 days with wcdma(preferred)/gsm network mode. if i switch to wcdma(preferred)/gsm mode the battery drains out in about 20 hrs without doing anything.. this is happening only with ics.. have posted this elsewhere too.. what is the use of buying a 3g enabled phone if this kind of ics update??

depends on local laws. In India I think if you give your mobile to a repair centre, there are chances it will get more dmged.

mikepatrick — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 10:03:01 GMT

Ady, try this :
- charge your phone to the fullest
- make sure you leave it in a place where your signal strength is maximum not alternating, over night (check and double check)
- check in the morning how much battery drained over night
- do it all over again with different features enabled (data traffic, GSM, etc)

Trust me when i say that signal strength makes a ton of difference when it comes to battery life. Mine ranges from almost 7 days to 1 day (if the signal has problems)

i had also a battery drain problem, had to charge everyday without almost not any wifi usage or other heavy usage. Checked the battery status and 78% was the screen which i didnt understand. Anyway how i solved is by only resetting the phone settings and now after charging yesterday its still on 90% with daily usage

Reset settings

not factory settings
