Hi, i have an issue about battery drain here in froyo with official rom and speedmod kernel.
I notice a 4% per hour in stand-by drain.
If i check with *#*#4636#*#*, under "battery cronology", watching network usage i find something strange...
the most used application , more than email and everything else, is called "0".
When i try to click on it, watching details, i have a force close.
Is there something i can do ? i wouldn't wipe all data to check if i resolve...
Thank you
The same for me.
I have a big battery draining when the phone is on stand-by. For example this last night, i fully charged it, and in 12 hours the battery drained a 10% without using it, with juicedefender installed and configured to auto on 1 minute every 15.
I think that i dont have the gallery sensor issue, but my battery drains more than i think is normal, and i have the "0" under network usage, and get force close when clicking it.
It's the same for me as well..anyone knows what the '0' is??
I'm on JPA build.
same thing happen to me.........try to off your data plan and it will save lots of your battery juice.........unless u are really checking email on your phone of course this doesnt help!!
is it normal to lose 20% charge in standby within 4 hours? i have almost everything off and it still drain my battery like crazy. Sync is off, data is off, wifi policy is sleep when screen is off, gps off, bluetooth off. Anything you name it i have it off. I have "spare part" installed and looking a the stats i don't see anything else eating the battery life. Only thing i see under other usage. is "Running (33.9%)", "Screen on (9.3%), "Wifi on (100%)" "wifi running (61%). Could it be the wifi on at 100% eating my battery?
same problem here
if data is ON overnight, battery drain is very high, like 20% in a few hours (5-6h).
if data is OFF, battery drain is almost 0 (zero)
in iphone 4 when my data was ON overnight with 3G and PUSH turned ON, battery drain was somelike like 3 or 4%.
Something is terribly wrong.
My battery drains ready and if I unplug it at 6am it won't last me past 4pm. I use my phone lightly mainly just texting. On the battery usage app it says 92 percent beside the display. I use the lowest setting for brightness. I currently have andromeda 1.0rom on my rogers captivate. Previously I had the cognition 3.04 but still the same problem. I've tried deletingbattery stats through recovery menu. I also tried calibrating the battery. Wifi is used instead of mobile network. Gps is off. Bkuetooth is off. Emails set to push (i read somewhere that push is more energy efficient than autosync)
Could this be a hardware issue? Any idea on what I should do about my problem?
How much actual usage does your phone get? 10 hours of battery life is abnormal unless you have like 4 hours of screen time.

Well you can check your screen time by going into the battery stats then pressing Display.
Other than that, it'll tell you how long you've used voice calls and stuff as well.

ohhh,the only problem with that is that I restarted my phone 2 hours ago so I dont have the full data for this charge.

You can check your actual screen time by tapping the "Display" entry in the Battery Use screen. That will tell you how many minutes your screen has actually been turned on.
I have a similar problem: My screen seems to use a TON of battery power, and it's almost always over 93% or for battery draw. I don't see a huge difference in power use between minimum brightness and automatic.
I tend to use the internet and text/email heavily, but I'm wondering if even that could account for the insane battery use. Today, I unplugged my phone at around 6:40 am. By noon it was at 1%.
Before I started using custom ROMs, I could usually make it to 4 with what I considered heavy use. Now, I can't make it past lunch time. I've done the battery calibration, bump charging, deleted battery stats, and discharged the battery to shutdown before charging fully. The screen power draw has persisted through two ROMs and three kernels. I'm wondering if my usage pattern has just changed this much, because I can't find any hardware or firmware issue to account for this.

Yea our problem is pretty close, if not then identical. I'm using it moderately and its at 10% right now.unplugged it since 6am. Ive tried a lot of different methods to try to fix my issue to but still nothing.
A few minutes ago, I checked my battery use. Here's how it played out:
Unplugged for 58 minutes
Screen on time 28 minutes 3 seconds
84% battery left
92% of power used by the screen
Do these stats look normal for screen power draw? This is what I'd call heavy use (I've been reading forums), but should the battery be draining this fast?

I have no idea. thats what i want to find out. heres mine...
66%battery
9h27m52s since uplugged
display - 76% --- time on: 1h23m22s
wifi - 13% --- time on: 9h26m51s
cell standby - 8% --- time on: 9h27m42s
phone idle - 4$ --- time on: 8h4m29s
any idea? i slept at 3am and woke up at 930, but didnt charge the phone.
Before i slept the phone was around 72%, and when i woke up it was around 70%. from the time i unplugged it to the time i slept it went down from 100 to ~72% under moderate use.
are these numbers right to you?? the only thing i am worried about is my display consumption that seems to be killing the most. Also, wifi uses less battery than 3g/edge right? so i shouldnt have a problem leaving that on. even when im not using it.

That seems like regular battery life there. If your phone is reading your battery accurately, that means you would be getting almost 30 hours with pretty decent usage before it dies.

Here is another update. tell me what you think.
29% left
13h13m49s since unplugged
85% on display -- 2h 52m 44s
7% on wifi -- 10h 7m 44s
6% on cell standby -- 13h 13m 40s
3% on phone idle -- 10h 21m 4s
It doesn't even show me my voice calls and 3g usage. weird.
also, do you know if the timestamp on you batterystats.bin is supposed to change? is that normal? or does it mean my batterystats is wiping on its own?

I believe the timestamp is supposed to change with batterystats.bin being updated. The only way it is wiped is if the file is deleted completely.
And still, that seems about right to me. 3 hours of display is a fair bit. In a regular day I normally see about 30 minutes of display usage.

wow really? 30 minutes of display is like bascially not touching the phone at all.
Is there a reason why the battery usage does not show my voice call usages and my data uses (mobile data, not wifi)
I feel like my battery life is... Less than ideal.
I'm going to be doing a few tests, unfortunately, it seems like my battery dwindles very quickly in 30% chunks, according to JuicePlotter.
One thing I've noticed that helps a lot is disabling your data network in general, unless you plan on using it.. You can still send/receive texts and phone calls, and that's primarily what my phone is for. It helps save a significant amount of battery.

Unfortunately, because I am waiting for some emails i cannot turn off my data network. my data network is on when i cannot get a wifi signal. I also feel that this battery is not ideal. I cannot last for more than 10hrs unplugged time if i unplug it when i wake up. if I unplugged it before i slept it would be a different story for obvious reasons
again, any help is and will be greatly appreciated
Here's more stats (running Cog 3.04, Gen X 1.14 theme, stock kernel)
Unplugged for 16h 22m 40s
69% battery life
38% display: 41m 24s
23% voice calls: 29m 39s
21% wi-fi: 16h 22m 40s
13% cell standby: 16h 22m 40s
7% phone idle: 15 h 41m 16s
It seems like I can easily get around 40 hours of battery life here, but obviously I'm in the light usage market, although I do use my phone to make a lot of calls.
In the past, I found that running different modems and kernels (specifically DG's Firebird 2 kernel) drained my battery life faster. While I loved the extra power and features (Voodoo sound specifically) the drain on my battery life was not so hot (see above specs but my battery percentage would be closer to 30% than 70%). I recommend returning back to stock via ODIN, see what your battery life looks like, then adding a custom ROM, seeing what your battery looks like, then kernels, then modem. That way you'll find the source of your problem. If your battery still drains heavily on stock, try a different (possibly new) battery. If its still doing the drain, it's gotta be hardware related and you might need a new phone.

Interesting, I was at 18% battery after 2 hours 45 minutes of screen time. 93% screen, 3% wifi, 2% cell standby. I'm starting to think that a) the screen really does just use a lot of power and b) my battery is becoming deficient.

I was actually thinking about returning my phone back to stock, unfortunately i do not know how to do it. I came across the odin3 one click downloader, but i was told by some to not use it since it is for AT&T. I am from canada and I use Rogers. Any ideas?
Hi
I think I might have an issue with the battery on an xperia sp which I got a few days ago. When idle with stamina on it's loosing between 1-2% per hour. I've used Gsam and recorded some stats to show what's using up the battery when the phone is not in use. Hope it makes some sense
loosing ~2% per hour phone in idle screen off
Stamina on, GSM only
Tried airplane, not much difference
Tried Stamina off, no difference
Charged to 95%
61% @ 10:16PM
34% battery use - of that
screen 56.3% (1hr 47min)
phone radio 6.5%
wifi 3.7%
apps 33.3%
TOTAL DRAIN ON BATTERY
-------------------
19% screen (avg 0.18% per minute)
2% phone radio
1.2% wifi
11% apps
____________________________________________
13 HOURS IDLE LATER - 17-20% BATTERY GONE
____________________________________________
44% @ 11.04AM(QUICKLY DROPPED TO 41% in around 2
minutes)
51% battery use - of that
screen 49.8% (1hr 48min)
radio 13.1%
wifi 7.4%
apps 29.6%
TOTAL DRAIN ON BATTERY
-------------------
screen 25.4% (WHY THE INCREASE of 6.4% when OFF all the time?)
radio 6.6% (+4.6%)
wifi 3.78% (+2.58%)
apps 14.8% (+3.4%, not sure why, stamina turns off all apps?)
6.4 + 4.6 + 2.6 + 3.4 = 17%
Why are these using up so much power in idle with stamina mode on?
Hello,
remove your simcard, reboot, got in to flightmode and let Wifi enabled.
now let phone unused for 8hours. its all Ok then accu should drain only 0,05%/h.
This is my XSP which i use only as alarmclock an every day 1 hour as Musicplayer.
I have tried without the sim card but it didn't do anything.
I notice in your screenshot though that there is no connection to 'mobilfunknetzsignal' ... mine is there even when the sim card is out, how did you get rid of it?

You must enable the flightmode under "settings->network->more" .
and then please install BetterBatteryStats to see if you have wakelocks and your device go in to deepsleep after turn of the screen.

Ah yes.. I tried flight mode one night and it still lost 15%
I have also used wakelock detector and it says phone is in deep sleep 99 percent of the time but still the battery is draining 1-2% per hour
Right now the battery is 27% down from 44% 2 hours ago... and I have hardly used it. I'll recharge and try again without turning screen on at all and see whats using it up.
Is there any explanation why the screen used 6.4% of the battery overnight when it was off all the time?
I'm too having about same problem..and am really interested in answer/solution,,,
Please, anyone?
I think I have fixed it but not sure. Phone was charged 24 hours ago to 99%, now its 94%. Definitely not using alot of power with stamina mode now but the screen was only used for 5-10 minutes, I've yet to test if it acts the same after screen has been used for a long time before going idle.
What I did was run phone setup again and update all apps
Now 88% after 40 hours, screen on for 25 minutes. Xperias battery monitor and gsam show completely different usage, android system takes up the majority in the xperia one but only 10% in gsam (under apps)
I checked wakelock detector and something called 'syncloopwakelock' was on for 4 and half hours. Is there any way to disable this? I already have auto sync in settings turned off.
A phone is meant to be used. Using it only from time to time to have as much standby time as possible is just a waste of a good phone.
I can get two days with heavy use. A lot of music, whatsapp, facebook and XDA Premium app..

I know, but there was a clear issue before as the battery was draining 20 percent overnight reducing the time I can actually use it. I was getting 5 hours screen on time one day, and only 2 hours the next. Just trying to make sure it has stopped, seems like it has
Would like to solve this syncloop thing though. I have no interest in syncing any accounts as I don't use them.
Simple fix
Change your rom, stock rom eats so much battery and has so many bloats, apps keep running in the background all sony apps.
MIUI is on jellybean and it gives me average of 1 day 20hours on normal use with wifi always on and sim card inserted..texting call and stuff
Problem has returned, woke up today to find battery under 50% and it was at least 75% when I went to sleep. Wakelock detector doesn't show anything and says phone was asleep all the time. Sony's battery graph though shows the phone was awake most of the time, but I can't find the cause in GSam or wakelock detector.
i think i have a idea. it can come from WiFi. there is a bug in all android 4.1. Set Wifi to allways on and deactivate/delete LocationBasedWiFi app from sony.
you can found it with BetterBatteryStats under Process.
Some screenshots
in this screenshoots the problem is not shown. When it comes from WiFi driver it is not a app that drain the accu, but a process.
The Line with awake in history details you can ignore, its buggy in 4.1.
I have searched through everything in Wakelock Detector and only process I found with alot of time is syncloopwakelock which is 4.5 hours. But this was already about 4 hours when battery was 85%
If I buy BetterBatteryStats will this show the problem? As you an see it drained at slow rate for 2 days then suddenly started dropping faster yesterday. I made no changes to Wifi settings, it is always on ... and I use Stamina mode.
Yes BBS will show the problem as "wifistatemachine", if the error should really be come from. you must not buy it, search on XDA for apk.
but if it come from your syncloopwakelock then i can not help.
Holy crap
I charged the phone to 96%, used it for 30 min (down to 92 percent) then went to sleep. Woke up and it was 28% and kept dropping !!! I've checked BBS, Gsam and I can't find the cause... again. After uploading these SS its at 12 percent.

Anyone have issues with high Cell Standby? My cell standby is at the top of my list with "time on 8h 12m" (pretty much my entire time off the charger) and Time without signal is 0% (so i haven't lost connection plus I've been on Wifi at home the entire time)
Ive also only have about 52 mins of screen on time with light use and I'm down to 79%. The drain seems very high considering how I've used the phone. I just don't understand why the standby is so high or whats causing it. Im stock rooted and have r17 Franco Kernel installed, it seemed to have started when I installed the latest r17 but I'm pretty sure it would be a coincidence since the cell standby was always kinda high on my list but not as bad as lately.

If you don't use the phone and keep it away, obviously the cell standby will come first but that much battery should not be drained. I can notice max 2-3% of battery drain from 100% over-night on stock
If you don't charge your phone up all the way to 100%, the battery stats don't reset.
Otherwise I think it's sounds reasonable.
8hr stand by, a little under 1 hr screen, wifi on the whole time.
That's about 9 hours total + wifi for 21% or 676.2 mah used. I usually run with a huge stand by time, not so much SOT. I get about 35%~ a day so I charge up every three days.
If you're on WiFi and cell standby is that high then you probably have a weak voice signal connection. What colour is it on your graph? You can also check your signal level in Settings > About Phone > Status
Hello i have, from now 3 weeks, a battery problem, well two. I don't know if that's related but since i connected to the uni wifi this problem started to occur (after i restarted the phone.)
So i loose an average of 2% per hour on standby and even when the phone is off.
Just for a comparaison there's a screen from the 19th of september and one from today, the battery go down even when not in use but also the battery usage of apps seems high, and is incorrect as i can see that it doesn't use that much battery.
Does someone have an idea of what can I do ?
