hii.. battery problem

[#1]

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 !!

hmm ok

[#3]

Display 43% - 3h 44m
Cell standby 21% - 21h 28m
PES 2011 11% - 1h 20m

Music 9% - 1h 48m
Phone idle 8% - 17h 43m
Mediaserver 3 %
Android System 2%
Juice Defender 2%
15% brightness, 30secs timeout, bravia engine off..
it was 20 % and i had to switch on packet data and used it for 15 mins and it came down to 15%..
and since the phone has been idle for soo much tym, i dnt think its lasting me well.. and.. cell standby, woah, so much? my data traffic is 2g 😕 and the simcard is 2.5 years old!! do u feel this has anything to do with the sim? bcuz the service provider is the best india has now i think.. (airtel) !!

and yeah.. i never put my phone on airplane.. so it lasted me 21h and 28m..

[slimshaddy]

you are from india

i'm from delhi

anyways..

i just checked mine..

it was 100% and now its showing

9 hours on battery

and phone idle is 7 hours 30 minutes...

and see with 1:30 hours use..now my battery is howing - 65%

and remind you phone idle also consumes battery

dont know why but i think because of the apps.. they dont let the phone go to sleep mode...

there are many apps which has a permission - keep the phone awake..

so it doest lets the arc to sleep and arc keeps on consuming battery..

whats this PES 2011..?? in your battery status..

also now i think your battery is normal..because i also get around this much battery life..

i have never turned on the mobile network data.. i use wifi..

its normal..and i think its the internet through airtel which you are using is causing the battery to drain faster..

well yes i have heard airel has the best internet but dont know..

there are very factors..even if they have the fastest internet , we dont know if it is efficient or not..

i mean its possible airtel consumes more exchange of internet packets and all..

i'm not a techy but i hope you understood

just wait for a couple of days..i'm goin to recharge with an internet scheme on vodafone ( which sucks )

and the network data will be on for the whole day..

then i'll tell you my result

if there is a significant drop that means the network data is the culprit..jispe mujhe abhi bhi shak hai

oh hey neighbour :smileygrin: im from bangalore
yeah i understand wat ur telling u cunt hv xplaind beter..

PES 2011 is a soccer game i kept playing dat day..
yeah okie try out vodafone in india, for teens, 3g is daaamn costly righttt !! 😕 irritating 2g speeds really !! yea pls keep me updated on this
:smileygrin: lol.. i cnt reply to u in hindi perfectly but i cud understand wat u said so yeah.. theres one way to find out...

[slimshaddy]

sorry i dont know you were from banglore

ok..yes i'll keep you updated..

tomorrow only i'm going to have the internet enabled..

well i'll hve a low data rechrge..

it will be a 3g connection and 3g takes more battery than the normal internet but still we'll know that netwrok data is te culprit...

i'll just take 100 mb 3g connection

and will have the data monitor on.. so i'll check the app also..

i'll keep u updated..

[#8]

lol oka
but one thing ive noticd is dat since 3g is blazing fast compared to 2g, u actually finish ur downlading work and account-sync work pretty quikly.. and u need nt have to wait too long !! and after all that's done, u tend to switch off data.. and that actually consumes less power right?
ive enabled juice defender ultimate version and ive customised according to my requiremtns.. and it auto-syncs my accounts with a 1-hour duration.. n since its 2g, takes too long.. if at all i had 3g, it wud finish in lesser time and automatically switch off data
so i feel 3g consumes less power practically speaking..
if u always have ur internet enabled, then yes, 3g consumes more juice than 2g

[slimshaddy]

you are right but i'll have the 3g connection and will remain on all the time

and you know how much network we lose here in inida so it will drink battery like anything

i still have not enabled it..lazy :smileygrin:

[#10]

lol yeah :smileygrin:
do it at ur wish but confirm dat my fone is normal

[slimshaddy]

yup will do..
