My battery usage pattern.

[Arunkmr]

Just for testing purpose i fully charged my Xperia until 12am and put it on standby and went to sleep, When i woke up at 9 am the remaining charge was 70% when i woke up, i wouldnt greatly mind it if it wasnt for the report saying most of the power went to display.. How could that happen when its on standby.. Could turning off the Bravia engine help..? and as you can see the second is taken by cell standby..!

Just tell me is this Normal, Common, acceptable as this is my first android phone..?

Update:

Seems Fine

As u might wanna know..

1.I over charged the battery for about 2 hours..

2.The 100% was there for 1 hour with me checking the status every 10 min or so with wifi on throught the time..

3.The charge fell to 97% within the next half an hour but with me having recieved a call(never mind)..

I think the system may have forgot the battery capacity and stops charging the battery when its thinks it is full (I read about this for laptop batteries not sure the same case for Smartphones)

So does it call for a recalibration..??, If so please let me know how to do it on a Mobile Phone...

You can get better battery stat free on xda. Or support the dev by buying it on the market.

Someting bugs me, the activity bar. Where you using the phone during this 1h30 ? Battery recalibration is done by almost emptying it (10-20 %), then doing a full charge.

[Arunkmr]

Ya i will look into better battery stats..

And ya the same activity bar bugs me too..

Even worse look at my next post..

Update:

Day 3

Same night time Powered off all the radios and went to sleep

Notice the activity bar it cannot be possible that i used my Mobile all night... and Android System really...! Does that thing really suck up that much juice... I feel like the system is just trying to cover up the battery drain with something it knows...

P.S. Before i installed ICS i happen to notice that i heard songs on my set 45 min with drain of only 2 points and the mobile used to charge for a long time, now from 62% to 100% was charged within 1/2 hour or less...

Something went wrong during the ICS installation which made the phone go wild for 5 restarts then it fixed and then it fixed itself, could this have somehow caused the battery to forget its capacity..

Please let me know a solution I am becoming obsessed over this because its a new phone and it has no warranty...

I love every aspect of this phone except for this... and one thing is "S u c k" is that much of a offensive word..?

Ouch !

There's definitly some app forcing the phone to stay awake. All you need to do is find the culprit and un-install it. Better battery stat might give a pointer there. (in the "partial wakelock" section)

What have have you installed ?

[bazilio_lg]

Is it a bug in Sola firmware that "Android OS" (not the "Android System"!) is eating the battery?

I understand that screen is the biggest power consumer, but WTF is that "Android OS" doing so much?

And it has no detailed information! Take a look:

I've took the phone off the charger an hour ago, wrote some tweets and read a couple of e-mails - and 100% => 90% charge went so fast!

Sometimes "Android OS" has more power usage percent than the screen.

This phone is a disaster

[EowynCarter1]

My sola held 5 days with one charge (not using it a lot). The autonomy is pretty good when no app is eating battery.

You need to have a look at the installed app, and find tthe app messing up with you battery.

[bazilio_lg]

I'd like to find out what app is using the battery, but it's not the app - it is the Android itself doing something!

[EowynCarter1]

The battery report is known not to be accurate.

[Arunkmr]

Ya sure it is not accurate and I have a better battery report in which the deep sleep time mode is considerably high yet the battery gets drained, My friends who own a smart phone say that they need to charge theirs twice or thrice a day Which sounds nice... But its the word of fellow Sola owners that sets me thinking, If someone's sola could make it to 4 days then why couldnt mine..?

And also the built in meter is weird..

Stays at 100% for 90 min

Drops to 90% within an hour.

Stays at 40% for 60 min then suddenly drops to 35%.
