Some functions in your phone may consume more battery, leading to a shorter battery time. In order to maximise your battery performance, make sure you switch off functions you don't use, such as Bluetooth™, and lower the screen brightness.

To access the battery usage menu:

From the Home screen, tap the Application screens icon.

Find and tap Settings > About phone > Battery use to see what has been using the battery.

To add the Status switch widget to the Home screen:

From the Home screen, press the Menu key.

Tap Add > Widgets.

Select the Status switch widget.

To add the Data traffic widget to the Home screen:

From the Home screen, press the Menu key.

Tap Add > Widgets.

Select the Data traffic widget. You can now turn on and off your data connections more easily.

To adjust the screen brightness:

From the Home screen, tap the Application screens icon.

Find and tap Settings > Display > Brightness.

To decrease the screen brightness, drag the slider to the left.

Tap OK.

I found that display is eating the battery power... I reduced brightness to nearly 40.... but still its showing its usage as 75%.... and when the brightness was near 80 its showed same 75%...

plz advice.

[Uliwooly]

turn off the bravia engine, screen timeout

also charge your phone 100% turn it off -> on -> now use your phone as normally you would, and wait until it reaches 10% battery left, go to settings -> about phone -> battery use

take screenshots of everything there

and either take screenshots or copy how long was each item on the list on (hours, minutes)
