Xperia Mini Pro SK17i - Extream Battery Drain FW 4.1.B.0.587

[CrashOverride]

Hi,

I upgraded my SK17i to the latest ICS 4.1.B.0.587 and there is extream battery drain while the phone is on stand by. I tried repairing the phone and reflashing with flashtool, still the same problem persists. Please see the below screenshots. The phone has been idle (No use at all) and the time without signal is 0%. Guys please understand, what we need above all advanced features is EXCELENT BATTERY LIFE! Please elaborate what you have done to make the battery drain faster?

AND... When can we expect a fix? Please release one ASAP, my phone is almost useless as it lasts 3-4 hours now with light use!

Did you get any answer for this? I have the same issue.

I updated OS to ICS & it started giving battery problems. I went to service center & they downgraded the OS to 2.3.4. I still had the same issue, battery draining out in "Cell standby" & "Idle" mode.

Service center guys asked me to replace the battery & I still continue to have the same problem with the new battery as well. Still running on 2.3.4.

Someone plz help......It is annoying to charge the phone atleast 3 times a day...

As CrashOverride said looks like it is the problem with 3G mode.

I tried the following and now it is not draining the battery much-

1. Goto Mobile network settings and change "Network Mode" to GSM only.

2. Goto "Network operators" and change Search mode to manual. In Search Networks select 2G network of your provider.

I know this is not a solution but, your battery will not drain that fast.

Thanks,

Sreehari

I faced same problem so dont bother here is solution

*Installation*

The installation is no different than other custom kernels.

• First make sure you have an unlocked bootloader(imp)
• When your phone is turned off, press the up vol button and connect your phone to your computer (Fastboot mode)
• You must see the led turning blue
• Open Flashtool >flash device(left most lightning icon)>flash boot mode>select kernal to flash(extreme left)>flash downloaded kernal
• You must see "0 bad blocks encountered" in the log. In case you see, it's safe to disconnect and reboot, otherwise redownload the kernel and try flashing again.
• Thats it bug is removed

Also baterry quickly discharges when phone are switch off. Form 96 % discharge to 50 % after 12 hours. Is a hardware problem not software.
