Are you using the original given Sony Charger? Or are you using other charger?

850mAh too.But mine is the original charger from Sony,and when I charge,i turn off my phone.So how about you charging first with WiFi and Mobile Data OFF and second by charging it while OFF.

Okay,now.Its simple basically.If you charge your phone while its ON(and mobile data and wifi ON,too),it will drain 60%of the charge input.

For example,if the charging rate is 10% per hour,it would be just 4% per hour.

This is because,when you are charging,the phone automatically turns OFF Stamina Mode(it turns OFF if you turn Stamina Mode ON before charging,if before charging Stamina Mode is OFF,it will remain OFF).

When Stamina Mode is ON,your phone will constantly check for any notifications in the Internet.

Thus consuming more power.This slows down the charging rate.

Vice versa happens when you turn OFF Stamina Mode.

Hope it helps!

Hahaha. There is three kind of my charging process.First,by turning OFF your phone(Fastest).Second,charging with phone ON but with airplane mode ON(Medium).Third,with phone On but no mobile traffic or wifi.(Slowest).

Last but not last.NEVER charge your phone if the phone is hot.Let it cool down first(room temperature).Only then start charging as charging itself will generate heat.So this is just a precaution step to avoid any hardware problems.

Enable Stamina Mode

Switch to wifi when possible as wifi uses less power than cellular.

Switch off radios when not using them (bluetooth, gps, nfc)

@noelle probably there are too many apps running in the background thus consuming precious power.

Could you do me a favor?

Go to Settings > Power Management > Battery Usage

Screenshot that page,press the graph and screenshot that too and post it here.I can determine what is the cause that use too much power.

I Have taken a Xperia Sp 4 days ago

In the power management system,

battery back up estimated is shown as:

70% @ 12 hours

50% @ 8 hours

25% @ 4 hours

these are in stamina mode.

Please, Help me out and let me know if all the guys out there are having the same battery efficiency or should I go to the service center for a check.

asroft will you tell me what kind of antivirus i should used in my SP for precautionary.

Re: How i will save my battery(SP)

Ashroft98 — Tue, 24 Dec 2013 13:27:13 GMT

noelle and nagesh,no,no need to bring to Sony Center.The estimated hours is not 4 days or 6 days as should because your phone have learned the battery consumption thus giving a quite accurate standby hours according to your way use of power consumption.

But in any cases,you could refresh the phone's power consumption pattern.

Simply:

Go to Settings > Apps > Swipe to the most Right > and search for "Eco Mode Controller".Press it and then Clear Data for it.It won't affect anything in the system only the phone's power consumption is refreshed.

Hope it helps

And noelle,actually,you don't need any antivirus unless you like to download stuffs from Internet directly from the phone.

But its rare for a phone this great to have infected with viruses.

Anyway,I am using AVG Pro Yeah for precautionary steps.

Re: Needs 5 hours for full charge(SP)

Okay,i'm sorry to say,but you have to fix your phone first.The Eco Mode Controller is an inbuilt app so it won't disappear.Maybe a quick fix will resurface the app.

Fix it by using Sony Update Service(SUS) :
