battery drain

[adityeah]

Hi,

I have earlier tried to ask a question here about my battery drain. I am now posting specifically my problem:

Last night I charged my xperia go till 100%. I did not use the phone for the next 9 hours. Auto Sync was off. Mobile network was on. Wifi/Bluetooth was off. I am using Xperia Go shipped as it is. NO ICS Update.

Today morning I see the battery level at 69%. I check the applications with battery usage and it says "Idle" has taken about 42%.

Is this normal?

can you post a screenshot of the battery usage page? together with the graph page?

also what apps do you have installed, some apps may have been running on the backgorund,

Hi nolramlb,

Have attached two screenshots. Keep in mind, the battery usage was 69% at 9 hours of usage. Now it is more than 12 hours. Also, the cell standby I think was at 42% after 9 hours of usage.

thanks

okay. i see, please be aware that having your mobile network data on can drain your battery, if you dont mind , try to fully charge your battery and let it sit, but this time turn off your mobile network data. see if the problem still persist.

apps also contributed to battery drain, as long they have data connection they would be able to access their servers and update or sync. ( the sync you disabled maybe limited to the app you turned it off to.)

if you want you can run some battery tests, just dial *#*#7378423#*#*,service test, and look for battery test and battery health test.

Hi,

I will do as you say. Will put the mobile network to off and check how much is the battery drain.

Other thing: I tried running the battery tests as you mentioned but when I go to Service test I do not see a "battery test" option there.

Will update my findings here tomorrow.

Hi nolramlb,

I did as you said and the battery drain was not as much. In fact, in 4-5 hours the battery drained less than 10%. Do you think my problem could be because some application might be accessing too much data in the background? If so, how can I find it? any ideas? thanks!

social media apps ( facebook etc), google services , basically all apps that need updating will access data if available. you might want to read this >> http://www.itworld.com/mobile-wireless/265440/monitor-data-usage-android-ice-cream-sandwich
