my XU had gingerbread on it
even then it consumes a lot of battery
i have to charge it almost thrice to four times a day
even in the night, on standby, it consumes 25 to 30 of the battery which i check the next day mornin
can anyone suggest me some solution for it
maybe some app or anythin which will help
and if i upgrade to ICS then will it solve the problem by Sony's Extended Standby Mode ???

That's a lot. I use mine all day and don't need to charge that much. Have you been leaving gps and wireless on all day.? And is your display on maximum brightness?

You can use some Apps to help you to change the settings. And you can let some some apps which you don't need off.

Those are not a solution. Turn off pretty much everything? And then what, buy a SG mini? :smileygrin: That battery drain has other causes. WiFi, 3G and bluetooth don't use much of battery, I didn't notice much difference with or without them. Could be an app, could be a bug, a factory reset could help. Or a battery removing and putting it back again. And that Live manager app settings also is messing up the battery. Usually it takes 2 hrs charging and 2 days (1 day on Android battery graph, effective use) of moderate using with bluetooth and WiFi on.

As 1st backup your data and make Factory Reset - find it in somewhere in phone seetings. Regarding display - I'm using 100% brightness and my battery holds 7 days. So check that factory reset as 1st and you'll see... if you don't solve your problem, upgrade to ICS...

if nothing solves the issue, try out a friends battery. if then also same then take to repair shop.

for me also the same case...25-34% in a night even though everything is closed...

now im discharging it to 2% or 1% and charging to 100% and then will tell u the result...

@arnab:::i flashed and rooted my phone but my battery and hardware are in warranty right??

or even they have lost their warranty??

bootlocker is still locked

i have had the same problem.. 25-30% drain overnight with nothing on. switching to gsm only network mode solves the problem. i dont know.. my gb version used to last 4 or 5 days with wcdma(preferred)/gsm network mode. if i switch to wcdma(preferred)/gsm mode the battery drains out in about 20 hrs without doing anything.. this is happening only with ics.. have posted this elsewhere too.. what is the use of buying a 3g enabled phone if this kind of ics update??
