My xperia x1 bluetooth is not working do not know for what reason i tried almost everything i knew (changing roms, changing radios etc.,) My intelligent guess is the hardware chip is not working anymore, everytime I try to turn on the bluetooth from comm manager it take couple of sec and doesn't turn on. No Error or anything nothing....
Because of this bluetooth hardware problem my battery is drained within 6 hours with extremely nominal use.
I'll be very grateful if anyone help me in this regard, you can suggest me registry tweak or anyother trick possible.
Thanks!
no answer?? anyone??
If you've been flashing roms and its still not working then it probbably is hardware related, send it back to Sony Ericsson to get it repaired.
bluetooth is not a chip of it's own
bluetooth hardware is integrated into the cpu from qualcomm along with 3g and wifi and gps
thank you rudegar and comeradealexi for your reply.
rudegar is it possible that i could somehow disable them because i think it is draining my battery. Is this possible that battery draining is due to that chip?
if it's turned on in software then it should not normally use a lot of power
if you turn off bluetooth and wifi and auto recieve incomming beams you get longer batt time
they are already turned off. there was another thing i noticed the other day i turned off my mobile at 40% battery took out the sim and keep it turned off for 5-6 hours but surprisingly when I tried to turn it ON it didnt because whole battery was drained even when it was completely turned Off. So i think it is the battery itself which doesn't hold charge.
sounds like a dodgy battery more then anything else
thank you rudegar

<BUMP> Is there a WM5 ROM which doesn't exibit the “dies @ 40% power” bug? This really causes a lot of problems, including losing the mail account settings. I am constantly having to remember to cradle my device throughout the day so it can make it. Also WiFi is basically unusable if the battery is below 50%. The device will just turn off. I am using 1.4 vanilla. I am grateful to Helmi and the community at large for all the great work on these devices. It seems it would be good to fix this issue before all the ROMs are gone.
TIA,

[EDIT] _TB_TB_ nailed it. Bad battery. Posting this over WiFi w/only 20% battery left. Yeah!
Your battery may be broken (one or two of its cells...). My battery did get broken... (Yes, the phone kept turning off at 40%)
got exactly the same, but mine dies at 58% [email protected]#
You really think it's a broken battery or could this be a software bug.

That depends. Turn the phone on, run camera app. Let it stay on. Wait till the phone dies. Turn it on again. Run camera. Let it stay on. Repeat the procedure until the phone fails to pass the "stripes" screen. This should drain the battery down to its "real" zero. You will know if its a software bug or a battery issue.
RE: bad battery
Thanks, _TB_TB_. I am trying a different battery. Will also try the camera test with each. I'll post results in a day or two.

Thanks, _TB_TB_
You were right. Guess that explains why ALL the WM5 ROM's I tried had the same issue. :^)
New battery = Happy user
Thanks again,

No problem
I simply had the same issue (battery damaged by the car charger...).
I was just wondering if someone can test it out as well. Ok my situation is that I used to put my phone in standby with nothing on such as my phone looking for email every so minutes because I set those to manual. Don't have any programs running as well. Well when I would wake up my phone the battery would be drained substantially. Example of this was I had my phone at 100 percent charge, went to bed and when I woke up my phone wouldn't wake up so I popped out the battery, put it back in and 28 percent battery. I was like wtf I'm not even using my phone. Well I noticed that if I turn on my bluetooth the battery does not drain like it does when it's off. Kind of weird but I've tested this out and it works. I am using Shaps: 4.31 ROM English and Radio: 1.27.15.32 (I remember reading that this radio was a BETA but I've been using it for almost 2 months maybe more) I'm thinking about switching my radio for another one. Just wanted to let you guys know it's weird. I find myself keeping my bluetooth on all the time so the battery doesn't drain as fast. I can actually get a full days use of my phone now. Weird huh?
Yup - weird - I find exactly the opposite. I turn off my bluetooth when I do not specifically need it to SAVE my bettery.

I have an even different situation. Since I constantly use my bluetooth headset, I leave Bluetooth in the "On" mode all day and night. The thing is, I charged my battery until it was at 100%, left it on the counter (not charging) for the night (approx. 8-9 hours) and when I woke up, it was at 98%!
Keep in mind, Bluetooth and WiFi were both turned on. Good stuff.
Commas are your friend.
As it is, it's barely readable.

If your battery is draining over night when your not using it, it's probably because you have something running in the background. You might have "closed" something and then it was actually still running. Try installing AlltheWay's task manager. This aids in making sure nothing is running in the background.
I'd upload the cab but I'm at work and don't have it.
Getting a full days use out of your phone is NOT something you should be happy about. I get 2 days with Wifi and Bluetooth use.
@ kamilzmielca: Your Wifi connection goes to sleep when your phone does, so your Wifi actually wasn't running over night.

yeap, mine does the same thing, thought i was crazy, but with bluetooth on i save battery life.
Yeah man I thought I was going crazy also. To the previous poster all the programs are fully shut down. I've had many pda's (windows) and I am familiar with how they work. I fully shut everything down and then put it to sleep. Bluetooth seems to be extending my battery. Like I said before all my email I have setup in the phone I set so I manually have to send/receive instead of it looking for it at a predestined time. Nothing is automatically connecting (as in programs) I'll look a little deeper, it may be due to the radio version on my Kaiser. Any input on this guys?

you could try to measure the actual battery usage with "BatteryStatus" with and without bluetooth. Would be interesting to see the differences.
Maybe the bluetooth is slowly charging the phone when on through the radio waves! or some mad theory
I might give this a try as my phones lasts about a day atm
My phone lasts about a day at the most with full battery charge. 2 hour of talk time plus the other stuff I usually do. 2 days is crazy maybe you don't have as much programs on your phone so you use it less. (to the previous poster) I will get that battery program and do a test to see the difference.
another crazy idiot here: bluetooth on also gives me a longer battery life...
is this a joke from HCT??????

Your not crazy man! I'm doing a test now with BatteryStatus and notice that I actually get a lower mA reading with BT on. This is messed up.
When I fist read this thread I though everyone was nuts, now I think I've just entered the rubber room. lol
I could imagine, that some application or some part of the operation system is trying to communicate with the bluetooth stack. And when bluetooth is turned of, it tries it again and again. Where when bluetooth is turned on it justs recognizes, that bluetooth is on but no device is paired and doesn't bother any more.
Just an Idea. But it would be interesting to find out if this also happens with an absolutely clean device after hardreset. And if so, if this applys to all ROMs.
I mentioned in another thread, but I installed that new Google Search bar that came out the other day. It sits on your Today Page. Battery life went to heck when it was active. As soon as I disabled it, battery life improved. I'll try turning on BT. You never know.
Just an update.
I've flashed duttys new release (in my sig) and the mA reading is where its supposed to be (between 1-5) WITHOUT having bluetooth running. I'll test with BT on for a little and post back.
EDIT: With BT on I seem to have the same power drain as I would normally.... which is great cuz I usuall leave it on anyway.
This BT phenomena might have something to do with the flashed ROM you guys are using. I've got the standard HTC TyTN2 default ROM and BT on definitely sucks battery power more than without.
Very strange. I could even see it being possible...
With bluetooth on in standby it's doing sub-10mA (5-8mA). With the screen on, it's about 80mA to 100mA.
With bluetooth off in standby it's doing sub-10 again... maybe a little lower.... and with the screen on... still around 80mA.
Doesn't seem to be having the desired effect on my phone (stock O2 ROM), but then I can already get 2 days out of my phone without too many problems.
Now it only saves my battery granted if I'm not using a bluetooth headset. If i'm using bluetooth like via a headset it will drain fast. If I have it on but not using any Bluetooth devices it saves my battery.
Bluetooth on... wtf??
Hi all
... unbelievable, i test this on my device too, and i can confirm -> Bluetooth On (but not using it) saves my battery!!!
Info:
WM6 Pro CE 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
ROM: 1.56.408.5
Radio: 1.27.12.11
It could be added to the Wiki!!!
the first week i had this it worked great, battery lasted maybe 3 days with minimal use. now with minimal use the battery is unpredictable. sometimes i'll charge it fully at maybe 10 am for example, not use it much at all, then by the time i wake up the next morning its dead. sometimes its even drained faster than that, wifi, bluetooth are not on, no programs running. sometimes i find that its very hot for no reason at all. i'm wondering if i need to take this back to the shop for repair---or if its something i dont; know about that i'm doing wrong? thanks for the help.
Do a search about RLOD in this forum. You will find some answers about this issue.
I notice my battery drains and the back of my phone get hot when I use the GPS. Maybe an application that you ran in the past is leaving the GPS connection open?
Have you tried a Hard Reset?
Just a thought
i don;t use gps, never had, probably never will since women cannot drive in ksa. as for a running program thats open, maybe but how can i find out which is open? according to my device nothing is open.
yeah i recently had that issue too, still investigating it.
So far im investigating:
-AE Button Plus
-Microsoft Voice Command 1.6
-Spb Mobile Shell 2.1
ever since i installed those, its been getting really hot during standby, and wakes up dead in the morning
Had the same problem. Hard reset solved it, it came back after installing my software again. I think it's S2U2, gave errors sometimes and wrecked my sound.

This happened to me the other day... Drained dead...........
Have not found reason yet!
I found out what was causing my issue a day ago, maybe related to yours too.
It turns out, AE button plus (when using a button to toggle wifi on aka wifitrigger) still stays connected even though u put the device to sleep. Wheras normally it would disconnect and try to reconnect on wake. However when you manually turn on wifi, instead of using ae button plus' wifi trigger allowed it to go back on its normal behavior.
AE Button WIFI on Standby
Yes, I noticed that the AE Button plus keeps WIFI on, even when on standby... Actually, even if I do it the normal way now, it stays on on standby, unless I change the setting back/forth in Kaisertweak...
Then when I run AE Button plus again, it messed up again.
Have you heard of a solution (one solution is to use another program to turn on/off WIFI ? I just emailed the author.
Hi Guys
i've heard that you can turn off the gps which would imply its permantley on, is this true? If so, any one know how to turn it off as I can't find what is probably an obvious menu/option.
I need to turn it off as i am only getting six hours of idle on any charge of my phone - have an extended batt on order and it is using push email (constantly connected) which is a must for me.
No real complaints apart from battery (which was expected and being sorted) and seems pretty good so far.
Oh, anyone else ditch touchflo? Thought it was rubbish myself
If GPS was able to be turned off, how much battery might it save? The difference could be transforming!
I personally don't think that GPS would be permanently turned on.
Maybe the interface, which "looks" if a demand on GPS data exists...
IF the GPS would be permanently turned on, the battery drain would
be very high, and the device would get assumingly very hot.
mine eats battery more than a fat bird eats bugers and mcdonalds and yes, its very hot as well .. although, this could be coz its pretty much always plugged in.... ?
GPS is only 'on' when it is called for by any external program. If it were on all the time the phone would be flat in about two hours regardless what you did with it.

do you KNOW that or are you assuming that?
I know I have seen programs that turn it off just as usual, the search on here has let me down. If this was definetly the case, then why would programs like these be written?

Yes, it is a known fact that the Diamond heats up when you are charging it (to levels some may find concerning) but HTC have dismissed this as 'normal operation'.
If it was on all the time you would have an instant fix on where you are straight away .
If it was on all the time your battery would last as said around two hours
I think it is in standby mode if this is what you mean but does need software activation to enable it on as in transmit and receive .
Not sure if turning off standby mode would be a good idea but if you google for the chipset name and have a read up it will let you know these kind of things
Are you sure you guys are not getting confused with GPRS, not GPS?
That can drain battery life, and by disabling GPRS Auto Attach using Advance Config tool, can extend your battery by around 40%!

if I do this, then im guessing my push email wont work? .... and maybe i am?
Looking for input on a ROM with no phone function or a way to disable the phone function(no sim) to just simply use with Garmin Mobile XT. Something that boots up extremely fast with no function except auto execute the Garmin would be ideal.
Any Ideas?
Battery Issue:
BTW: The reason for this is the phone is completely useless as a normal phone because the battery only lasts a few hours. I actually get better battery life booting android. The battery heats up the entire phone and the current draw is 400-600 idle. When charging the light never turns green for fully charged thought booting up it will say 98% before it starts plummeting. I have tried multiple batteries and multiple ROMs with the same result so I figured I would just use it as a GPS plugged into my car with the Garmin Software. If anyone has any incite on this that would be great too. Thanks
Don't think someone would cook such a rom.
But you always turn off the phone in wireless control, switch off manila (having nothing in today boot up in around 48s) and put garmin.ink to StartUp folder.
By the way i think your battery is dead, mine can standby for around 3days/around 3-4 hours of talk time for a full charge.
