Is there anyone else here that experience that the batterytime is max 3-4 hours standby?
No, battery time is more than great. I got my X1 last monday and the first three times I charged the battery to full and then let the X1 with full screen light on. This lastet more than six hours!!! Then the X1 shut off itself. The same at the second charging zyklus. Again more than 6 hours of best screen-light before switching off in cause of less power.
This is the best result I evere had at a PPC
guess you'd have to replace your battery. seems to be buggy.
my battery lasts about 6h+ of video playback (700mb, avi, dvdrip)

Wow,
I'm using Sync and wifi. can i't be because?
I got 4-5 hrs with wifi and bluetooth while streaming with the screen on max brightness. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
It's Media Panel
Have you launched the Media Panel?
I noticed that if I used the Media Panel for music playback
the back/battery was getting VERY hot. Not good for its
lifetime . So this Panel consumes a lot of power. I guess
the Xperia developers got some work to do.
Also Wifi needs lot of battery power.
Using both about 4 hours are thinkable.

No, not mediapanel.
Well, i test without Synk and Wifi tomorrow.
That's it. It's Wifi. Having Wifi turned on all the time you
will get these results. It's one of the most battery intense
functions. Only turn it on if you need it. For example,
notebooks with much larger batteries will have much less
runtime (bad english, I know ).
Sync isn't responsible for this. I have an hosting exchange
server running but I didn't notice any effect on the battery.
Hope, I could help.

im able to switch my wifi on for 3 hours then music for another 2 hours and 1 and a half hour calls still manage to have 3 bars left on my phone whats wrong with yours?
the battery on the x1 is insanly good compared to the diamond.
(however, when i was charging it yesterday there was somekind of bug that drained the battery when the charger was plugged in, it did not detect the charger after a while, havent checked what it could be, had msn/skype/wifi and the arc slider open )
edit: softreset solved that problem
the battery of X1 is working fine, 10 hours continues use time (for internet + MSN)
WiFi is something that should be only turned on when you are using it. Same goes with BT too infact.
so my accu holds approx. 1 day with music, Games, wifi, video, but I think the accu is already become better as in start in the normal one use he holds 2.5 days
Wow, 8-10 hours without Wlan!
on 2g i got msn/skype running from morning to bedtime, 3pushmail accounts and normal usage, 2bars left of battery at bedtime so its good.
But. i get strange problems when charging the battery and the phone is on. it seams like when the battery is fully charged, it starts to discharge if i not plug out the charger, this morning when i woke up the phone was off but fully charged, it could mean that the battery was charged, then discharged and shut off, then charged again.
a normal businessday: 230 min phone, 30 mails, 15 SMS, bit Internet ....and the Battery is still alive....it´s good enough for me )
sonox
it,s the poor reception that drains the battery,seeking for a signal most of the time..
Since having the X1... Now 1 week... I would have to say its the best battery life on a WM device I have used...
I get approx 2days of usage without charging... which I think is good.
Cheers
I heve my phone checking for new mail every 5 minutes. Does this consume a lot of battery or is it negligible?

yes it consume a lot of battery, more on 3g than on 2g, if you think its a problem. just increase the time to 30min or so.
Could someone explain to me why the xperia's battery life is so short. xperia has a big battery with a lot of juice, 1500 MaH is very high. for example the htc diamond has 900 mah but the life time is almost the same.
i ordered now a mugen battery 1800Mah hope this wil add some more life time.
sinds i am using wm6.5 the life time is now a little bit longer. is it the OS that uses that much battery or is it the hardware?
mine last for 2-3days
thats long for me i do exactly 1 day with it.
How do you use it like have you connection with the internet all the time. do you make a lot of calls?
mine usage is i recieve emails, i;m interneting for not more than 20 min. and make some calls not very special.
It depends on what you do. If you don't use it at all D) or use it for calling/texting it will last 2 or 3 days.
If you use it for media purposes (music, video, etc.), it will last 1 day or less.
Wi-Fi or GPS will drain it in 2 or 3 hours.
Background apps drain the battery as well.
Mine rarely lasts more than 6 to 8 hours or 12 if I'm lucky, when I'm outside/travelling/working.
If I'm at home I keep it plugged in the charger all the time, otherwise it drains in 2 hours due to heavy use lol .
Lol thats very fast orelsi. i use sometimes gps and have always connection with 3g. thats why i bought a reserve battery for my xperia.
mostly my battery lest for 12 hours or something and when i dont use it a lot the battery life is 1 day.
Mine lasts from the morning (7 o'clock) until the evening (12 o'clock). That is 17 hours. Then I charge it overnight. I am using (Hotmail) push mail all day, thus the HSDPA connection is always on. Another e-mail address syncs every 5 hours. Wheather forecasts sync every 4 hours. Newsfeed syncs once a day. I listen to music for at least 3 hours a day, sometimes up to 5 or even 6. Sometimes also internet radio through WiFi (drains more). When I'm listening to music, the screen is off. I get maybe 10 text messages a day, which make the phone vibrate for maybe 10 seconds each. I answer to those. I surf for maybe 15 or 20 minutes a day, checking stocks regularily. That's it.
Thats nice, if im wanna listen music it cant last till 12 o'clock. i also start mine morning from 7 o'clock. but it will ben nicer if it could last for 3 days with same use. sometimes i'm not home for 2 days and can't charge it (dont have teh charger with me) but then the next morning it almost empty.
so for me i have to take a reserve battery with me

Little advice for you, maybe it helps a little: Do not shut down your phone overnight, but turn the phone function off, that is to say disconnect from the network. This is what I do. With software like Spb Phone Suite you can automate this process, so that it turns off all connections at midnight for example, and back on at seven. I also use it for volume adjustment, it changes ring volume when I plug in my headphones. Phone without headphones needs to be at 100% to barely hear it, but with headphones, this blasts your ear I find... So the software turns ring volume down to 20% when I plug the headphones in
thnx i didnt think of that. i will use that
i dont know why... but the battery of x1 lasts only a day!
and when i think about... i'm pretty much a light user.
i dont use the wifi and 3g at all.
the brightness level of the screen is the lowest.
i play music about 2 hrs with the earphones.
i hardly use any apps except for windows media player.
that also about the 30 mins the most.
i only use the internet about the 30 mins the most.
bluetooths off.
i always close any open app that is there via the htc taskmanager
i using the htc touchflo ui.
i take about 25 pictures at the most and no video recording.
maybe the settings of my phone is somewhat wrong.
maybe i missed something.
so anyone.
please help me...
any advice? any tips?
Then you have a normal battery usage
Wich wm do you use wm6.1 or wm6.5 ? i noticed better battery life in wm6.5 if i don't do anything on the phone the battery lasts for max 2 days but only if i really do nothing on the phone. i have to charge my phone every night.
Sounds pretty normal to me .

these are the batt killers
if you stop doing those it can last 3 days
but as with all such devices charging them a bit every chance you get
is good for then and give you a longer batt life
it charge using a miniUsb which is everywhere otherwise you can
get one to carry around in a shop for a few $£€
so any computer with usb can be your temp charge station
Okay, I've got some advice for you maybe. I have just flashed my phone from R2A to R3A nad haven't installed too much applications yet, only PocketShield, Resco Explorer and Spb Phone Suite. I notice a strong increase in battery life compared to the old R2A with sooo many apps (Although basically none were running in background, at leats not ones you would think that they consume much power). So I don't know if it's the apps or the ROM but my battery lasts about 75% longer, which is approx. 40 hours total. I have about the same usage you are describing.

I'm just telling you my experiences. Yesterday for example, phone was fully charged @ 7.00 AM. Been listening to music for about 5 hours, called my girlfriend for 1.5 hours, had pushmail activated all the time, sent some text messages, got an email, battery was @ 30% at midnight.

Certain laptops have "battery saving features" which regulate/cut off power delivered to usb ports. Try charging with the wall charger.

sorry but htat battery life is in standby mode. calling uses not that much battery life because the screen is turned off. if you using ur phone extremly thna the battery will drain very fast. with winmo 6.5 teh battery life is 2 days but i dont't take pictures i listin to music about 1 hour and sometimes i'm surfing on the net with it. it checks every 1 hour for emails.
i had so many wm phones and all failed the battery life. they had all short battery life ofcourse i want my phone to last 3 days with the same usage like urs. thats why i have a spare battery with me always.
the battery will drain also faster if you using a lot of apps in the backgound. with a clean rom the battery life is longer than that i install a lot of stuff on it.
So my conclusion is that the battery life will be different for each person. if you think ure battery isn't good than i would say go and buy mugen battery 1800Mah i did it to and i'm happy now.
I did some tests with the original SE battery when i don't do absolutely Nothing with the phone and its in standby the phone battery lasts easy for 4 days
OMG.. 1 day is not enough? OMG!!!
Makes me wonder why we sell Xperia in countries, where they have no access to electricity..
Well, I can recommend buying another phone, or even phone with some solar charger, if you have no access to electricity. Or another battery would do fine.
Myself, I use WIFI a lot in my work, call about 2-4 hours a day and sometimes i'm listening music while walking home. I charge it overnight (yeah I'm lucky guy livin in Europe with access to electricity).
And sometimes it makes me wonder, that people expect the battery to be like nuclear power plant - once you start it, it'll never stop giving you electricity. Cmon, you have 500Mhz CPU, big screen, GSM+3G running at once. Then you can turn on WIFI, GPS and the CPU goes 100%. 1 day is not enough? Jeesh.. Show me a device which lasts more than one day WHILE USING IT (so calls, messages), with normal battery (no nuclear power plant, please! ) and I'm yours
Some people (no offence!!) should return back to Earth
To save some battery, turn OFF 3G if you're not using it. But that'll give you just few hours, which won't save you that much.
2 Hours of GPS use sets me to nearly 50% battery gone!

Yeah, coz you're using GPS, then the screen is ON, the navigation APP (ie TomTom) is using CPU nearly to 100%, then also the GSM-3G is working all the time, RAM and apps in RAM are draining as well.. Normal

Hmm.. i'm not quite sure right now how about X1.. But if I am not mistaken, few months ago I tried GPS with phone OFF and it worked EXCEPT TomTom. It found sats, but TomTom refused to accept it. But geocaching app worked.. Will try tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Not sure about sat navs, don't have one. My parents do, but they always plug it into the car as far as I remember. But I don't think any sat nav will last several hours with battery, when there is CPU clocked crazy high, bright screen and also the GPS chip itself (not mentioning that the heat will decrease the battery life).

Hi Everybody,
I am using my HD2 since 2months and I share with you the general Idea that Battery life of 1-2 days is not enough for a device with the ambition to serve as phone as well.
I am using the device for professional activities: document sharing, webcalendars, emails on the go... but with an internet access not contiguous, since I only want my mobile to donwload mails when I
am not at home or in my office (were I have more professional stuffs
for that).
So, I installed the WMLongLife to Switch off communication interfaces whenever not used.
However, during last couple of weeks it happen to me to work prevalently at home and in my office, without the requirement to use the network from my HD2.
Accidentally I noticed that if I charge the HD2 and never use internet services (but only as a phone: 5-10 calls per day), the battery life magically goes from 1-2 days to 1 Week and more.
Is it normal? Maybe some device is not properly shut down after first use?
Now I charged my mobile on thrsday morning, and after 5 days of use I have still 42% left.
I wish to share your opinion, and to know if there is outside a better software than WMLongLife to preserve batteries when high speed connections, BT and Wifi are not used.
Thanks a lot
It's a phone with a massive screen, bluetooth, wifi, 3G and the list could go on...
I myself, is amazed that it can last a day.
Using it with constant 3G, bluetooth, GPS back and forth at least once a day, e-mails ticking in all the time, bluetooth headset and so forth...
The HD2 is like a small laptop...
- try getting a laptop run a full day on a battery the size of the HD2s.
1 week and more? Wow....
I fully charged the phone last night around 12AM, now after 13 hours most of which is standby, 1 hour of music, and maybe 30 minutes of browsing/playing with it its at 70% battery life. Is this normal?
I dont get 3G and I have wifi and bt off. Any other ideas to conserve battery?
The HD2 is as good, if not better than any other smartphone I've owned. I always recharge my phone overnight, so as long as the battery's good for a day I'm happy. Any bigger battery and the phone would need to be much fatter to accommodate it.
A week sounds pretty optimistic to me.

You could try and turn down the brightness of the screen for one...
I had mine on 100% for the first couple of days, but it just ate the battery like that. Then changed it to 70% (almost can't see the difference) when it's on battery, and that helped a lot!
Then you should perhaps try and download BsBTweaks or something like that, and activate the "power save" option...
Something to do with the SD card or something, not sure...!?
But to be honest, I think it's pretty decent.
13 hours of stand by, 1 hour of playing music and 30 minutes browsing/gaming - and still on 70%.
You have to remember, it's a very powerful device and as such it uses a lot of power!
Again I confirm,
charge this morning is still 25% left and yesterday I used internet connection for 15 minutes, then switch off devices and a soft reset to stop eventually pending drivers.
I do not use HD2 for listening music or playing films: only calls, contacts, synchronized agenda with gcalendar, emails, and internet.
Previously I noticed that after using even once the internet connection (without the soft reset), battery last at most 36 hours.
That is why I suspect some processes/services be pending in background and draining battery low.
Again I am not trying to demonstrate the life of my mobile is longer...
... Just noticed that there are some operational conditions that may prevent higher power drains and to understand if someone else has investigated the point.

I do the same!
Check email one or twice a day. 5/6 calls a day. Wmlong life on. Don't care about 3g... it's set to be in automatic. Some excel and word files. Some sms. It's incredible that such a powerful device can stand by so long!
Otherwise when I use it for work, wi-fi, bluetooth, gps and bla bla, the life of the battery is about 12 hours... but who cares?
9% this morning but still alive with phone interface working...
Do it exists for WM6.5 an extended taskmanager (AKA in the windows style) that can also reports for processes and spent CPU time?
I can barely go a full day and have to charge it at night.
Is anyone else getting really poor battery life? I have Wi-Fi on a lot but with screen off just so it automatically gets my push e-mails. Could this be the reason?
Is anyone else getting severe battery drain when listening to music from their bluetooth headphones?
Without listening to music via bluetooth, I can get around 8-10 hours of SOT but once I begin listening to music via bluetooth, i can only get 4 hours.
The battery drain is intense and I don't think it's any other app causing the issue. The battery drains much, much faster on standby when listening to music.
I've searched around and keep seeing answers online about people saying that listening to music via bluetooth shouldn't have too much of an impact on their battery life. However, this ~50% battery decrease is worrying me.
Is anyone else facing this issue? Or does your battery drain at the same speed with and without listening to music via bluetooth?
Just today I noticed my device runs very hot and Bluetooth eats more juice than the screen. I've had the phone for almost two weeks and it's the first time this happens. I'm sure rebooting fixes it but obviously I shouldn't need to do that
No problems here. Could be the player you're using?
When connected once to a device, after disconnect, the Bluetooth logo show like the phone is still connected and drain battery. Simply cut Bluetooth and reactivate it.

I just use spotify... shouldn't be much of an issue right? spotify didn't drain my battery that much on previous phones, the only difference now is that I use bluetooth to listen with this new phone and headphones.
If its not much of a hassle, is it possible for you to tell me a bit more about how you use your bluetooth headphones? What do you do with your headphones on your phone, how long do you use your headphones with your phone and whats the battery drain like?
Thanks!
Don't have any issues using Deezer hardly makes any difference when using wired for battery usage
I listened to Spotify on Bluetooth headphones for a half hour walk to work and the battery stayed at 100%

It's impossible to change bluetooth codec. It just defaults to aptx when connected to my bluetooth headphones and I can't change it.
I have the same, buetooth drains battery like a mofo, both with Spotify and Pocket Casts on already downloaded content.
