What does everyone use to monitor their battery usage? my battery is being sucked dry and i'd like to know what's doing it?

Is there a software that control how your battery will be charged?
I know there is a tweak that allow your device to connect to your phone and sync without charging it.
However, I'm looking for a program that will let my battery drain till like 2% before it start charging. The reason I want this to happen is because it'll improve the performance of my battery. It's always good to drain out the battery before fully charge it again.
I don't know about any app that will do that for you, but no charging while syncing can be done in the settings:
settings/system/energy -> Don't charge while conected to PC
Interresting?
You said you want to discharge your battery to almost 2%
Mayby interesting to read the story about Li-ion batteries.

They say that's it isn't always good to discharge the Li-Ion battery totally.
besides:
Low Maintenance - no periodic discharge is needed; there is no memory.
Good Luck,

That's interesting
Thanks
this is totally wrong
you drain the ni/cd batteries for better performance not the cellularphones.
you drain the cellularphones battery ,potentially kill some battery cells.
drain it to 2% more than 15 times kills half of it capacity and/or age.
My xperia only lasts about a day with moderate internet usage, with moderate amount of necessary programs running (I ALWAYS close all apps after finishing).
Just a note, all my data connections are closed & tweaked to close after 2 mins of inactivity.
I heard that X1 batteries should last for ages.. at least 2 days to 4 days.
But I heard I need to flat out the battery, and then full charge it to 100%, followed by a soft reset. Apparently, this recalibrates the battery levels and users have reported battery life extend to 2 days to 3 days more!
So, my question is, if anyone has recalibrated their battery meters is..
1) After flatting my battery out, do I full-charge with the phone OFF or ON?
2) After I have fully charged, can I use PHM Soft Reset after windows boot-up?
Thanks.
I think you should buy another battery if you want more time.
My battery is down to about 50% on average after 8 hour work day. I have push e-mail and IM client and they always cause drain. 2-4 days would be if you didn't have consistent background services running.
As far as what you are saying about recalibrating the battery I think you are misinformed. Xperia has a Lithium-Ion or Lithium Polymer battery. Generally recharging frequently is better for it than doing a full drain. The type of full drain before recharge that you are describing was common recommended practice for Nickel Cadmium or Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. These could develop a "memory" in the battery which would dramatically reduce the amount of charge they would hold before they refused to charge.
If anyone has good evidence to the contrary I would love to be wrong, but I am pretty sure that with PUSH and IM there is no way to get a 1500mAH battery to last 3 days.
Also the radio you use and the area you are in (proximity to towers) can have a significant effect on your battery life.
charge it when it off for - + 1 Hr .
it will saty about 2 days

This is not absolutely true. It's true that Lithium battaries don't develop "memory" problems on their energy storing part, but they have a small circuit and this circuit is possible to develop the "memory" effect. This circuit is the one that decides that battery is full and cuts energy supply or informs about the percentage of the battery power remaining. This circuit for example is the reason that there is no point anymore on having the battery charged for 24 hours when you charge it for the first time.
IMHO you could try emptying the battery and charging it again when the device is off. Don't try to drain the battery completely as it could damage its power storing part.
i think i have the same problem about my X1. when i full charge my battery and after a few hours it goes 50% and sometimes my battery indicator says that i have 80% and after a soft reset the battery indicator says i have 20% weird...
Hey guys, I have a weird issue. Regardless what ROM I am on, my battery percentage will randomly drop like 10%
Randomly, I will be using it, I'll be at 70%, then it will just drop to 60%, normal use. Been happening a lot more recently.
Is this a sign of a battery going bad? I've had this phone roughly a year (Stock battery).
Thanks!
What does your battery life look like? A battery's performance WILL degrade over time, but if your battery life is still good enough for you, I don't see any harm in continuing to use it.
You could get an app like Battery Monitor Widget. It will keep track of usage and calculate the health of the battery. You can also try wiping battery stats (the app can do that too), it could just be the phone mis-reading the battery...
hello guys. i think that my battery is draining way too fast than it shouldn't be, my phone is now 9 months old. when i charge my phone last night, i saw that the battery percentage is on 92%. i just opened a game, just to check something. when i closed the game, the battery is now 100%. i think the game that i opened does not even exceed to 5mins.
do you think that my battery is not working properly? cause when i watch movies, approximately, 25-30% only of the battery discharges, but now it discharges up to 45-50%.
by the way, im on a locked bootloader running the existenz black version.
is there any way on how can i prolong my battery life? i use greenify (donated version).
how to calibrate the battery?
thanks guys.
Haven't had a new phone in a while now and I can't find it anywhere wether I should format the battery on the first few charges and if so, what is the procedure?
You don't have to do it. You just remember to not to completely discharge your battery and you will be fine.
Lithium-ion battery or Lithium polymer battery doesent have to be formated, or formed !
Only Nickel–metal hydride battery (NiMH) have to be formed.
L-Ion on the other hand doesen't like to be drained to 0%, if you want to prolong the battery life, you shouldn't let the battery to get under 30% if you can manage to do that in real life.
