battery life problems after update

[Edison1]

Good evening,

I recently updated my phone build number officially from .42 to .62. Lt18a Arc s.

anyway, just now my battery was sitting at 13%. i went online to check a few things just for roughly 30 secs? the battery warning popped out saying i have 1% battery left. then 10 seconds later my phone shut down on its own. i tried to turn it back on again, but it failed to do so.

I went to the charger and plugged it in. the phone started up and it says it is charging from 13%.

So how is this even possible? Losing 12% in 30 seconds plus shut down? on top of that when i went back to charge it, it states 13% charging.

my phone never encounter such problem. Bought it a month ago. problems just started after the update.

any solutions?

thanks in advance

Edison.

did you use flashtool to flash from 2.3.4 to 2.3.2 to 2.3.4?

you can repair your phone with

Update Service (SEUS)

I didnt use any flash tool. I used the PC companion 2.0 to update it. It failed to update the build number the first few times but it got through afterwards.

I dont think i have much to do other than recharging it and use it till it reaches near 0% to see how it goes. :l

it might be a software bug, just try SEUS (link above) and repair your phone

I will do that right now, just got back from school ><</p>

Earlier when i was at school it states it was 99% then all of the sudden it dropped to 81% lol.

there might be either

1) an app thats acting up

2) the software might be acting up

but you should be able to fix it with SEUS

apparently it reinstalled the entire phone software. I had to reinstall all my apps -.-.

not a big deal cause i didnt have much stuff anyway.

I got a few questions right now:

my internet kept going on and off. (not wifi, im talking about my 3G)

It kept saying i cant download the internet settings and the mms.

Back then i moved quite a number of apps into the SD card. now that the entire phone got a reset, what happens to those apps? i redownloaded "app 2 SD free" and apparently it shows nothing in the SD card but at the bottom it does show how much space i used (which i think it did contain the previous apps and stuff)

all the photos and videos in my sd card got messed up. they are everywhere lol, some of it arent in the respective catergory.

you have to redownload each app, and then most likely the data from that app will be there, you don't need apps2sd free, I rather do it manually.

go to settings -> sony ericsson -> internet settings
