hey people... im currently using sony ericsson xperia arc running 2.3.4
after this update, there's a drastic drop in the performance of the battery of the phone 
i never had any battery problemms until now.. and when the phone used to run on 2.3.3, the battery was functioning just fine..
and now since ive updated around a week back.. ive been observing a fall 
and to my observation, i feel it's nt the problem with the battery but with the display.. when it ran on 2.3.3, the display would take around 35% of everyday's charge.. but now it takes EIGHTY !!!!!
please reply.. if u guys face the same problem, join me in appealing to SE.. and for those who dnt face this problem, please notify me as to where i can improve on the performance of the display.. i have kept the brightness to 15 % and the screen timeout to 30 seconds.. and within 5 hours the battery dies
and when i see the usage.. 80 % would be the display !!
Solved! Go to Solution.
just checked again today, now it's at 55% for the display.
bravia is on, it's always been on when i'm using 2.3.3 and battery usage is about 30+%.
brightness level is at 1/4 level.
will do the 100% charge and 15% check maybe tomorrow.
ok 
right now battery at 33% with:
display 61% 3h33mins, idle 7% 11h30mins, WiFi 7% 7h16mins, cell standby 7% 7h16mins, 8 more items having 2-3%.
normal? fyi, data traffic never been on.
wow.. thats quite a lot compared to mine actually
but yeah.. data traffic uses a lotta battery i guess?
hope the reply holds good for me too

you dint tell me for how long it stayed..from the above phone idle is 11h 30 minutes..
so in 11 hours 30 minutes , wifi was on for like 7 hours..it sure will drain a lot of battery..
if data trafic was off..but still you were accessing internet for 7 hours and you are getting a pretty good battery life there 
and please turn off your bravia engine..just turn off and just check it for a day..i'm sure its the culprit..one more user was facing the same problem , and turning the bravia engine off corrected the issue..
so please turn off the engine for a day and check again... it wont make a diiference since bravia engine works only with pics and videos and not for the entire display..just do it :smileyhappy:P
mine arc is using 56% for display when set at 15 brightness,is it ok r is der a problem
if you are satisfied with your battery level then its ok 
i am getting 13 hrs back up when i attend 5-7 calls,5 hrs music playback,1 hour of watching videos and playing games,taking atleast 10 pics,and browse for 2 hours,is it ok
re you kiding me..its fabulous 
really..
