Ok, so the Diamond has a poor battery life, but how poor? How many hours do you get out of yours without any ROM changes? How many hours do you get after tweaking and with ROM updates?
What about the newer extended life batteries? How much more life would they give? 20%? 50%? 100?
Thanks,
Jon
My battery lasts for about 4-5 days with normal phone and PPC usage.
(ROM 1.93 and no internet connection/3G/GPRS or GPS turned on).
Charge twice a day
I charge mine twice a day. I am a heavy user and have exchange server / push mail on all the time.
For this reason i have two batteries and change them every moning and afternoon.

If you rationalise it: Lets say with the 900maH you get 2 days, then what is your last question about. If you get the 1800maH battery then, then the life is dubbeld. Looks like a no brainer to me. Or do you expect us to guess at what your going to use, how long, what power it uses and then make a guess at the time?
Mine was tweaked and lasted more then a week, while on standby.
btw: Why not all your questions in 1 topic?

"doubled" looks like a no brainer to me, too... Apparently different people think in different ways.

Twice a day!!! Is that all! lol
I have mine on the charger at night; then if i'm on the computer the diamond is plugged in via the usb port; my half hour commute means she's plugged in the cars cigarette lighter, and it's plugged in a charger a lot at work. I'm a GPS, 3G surfing, mp3 playing bandit though.
If i aint doing any of the above, and use it just as a phone the battery will last a while. (at least 2 days) But if i just didnt want a phone...
With normal battery you can only watch two movies on Coreplayer and you're out. With GPS on you get 2-3 hours max. It's almost scandalous.
If you only use it as a phone, you get decent battery life, but I've bought it to also use it as a PDA. The battery is simply insufficient.
I've had to buy an emergency charger which lets you charge the battery on the road using any normal AA battery.
The battery in my X1 lasted literally five hours today. A couple text messages, some wifi browsing, no calls. My phone gets to the 40-50% mark then my phone starts barking that my battery is low. Is there anything I can do to correct this or should I just get a new battery (which is the original BTW).
If I need to get a new battery, are there any authentic OEM batteries on EBay? I don't want to buy from SonyStyle because they are $54 after my discount.

My battery lasts a respectable amount of time. I listen to the radio on the hour bus ride to work, usually place a couple of phone calls, do some email reading, send a couple of SMS. Usually, my phone gets left on during the day for eight or so hours, then it gets similar treatment on the way home. I also usually make quite a few calls during the day, and it has Exchange Activesync running on it most of the time, and is using 3/3.5G connections. By the time I get home, the battery is often reading about 50%. Theres also various automatic downloads - for RSS, weather, social data and so on every couple of hours.
I've also not-charged it in the night, and it's been good for two days of this kind of activity, by which time the battery is usually on a low-battery warning, but still kicking, by the time I get home on the second day. I've found the battery to be something I can rely upon, but it's also massively varied with rom - battery drains crazyfast using the EnergyROM series, whereas the Rusch/Wildchild Manilla colab builds have relatively minimal drain.
@emuneee
is this with stock rom and radio? All these crazy manila roms are pretty hard on battery usage. Im trying to decide if my battery isnt holding as much a charge as it used to or if its the roms I've been using. I dont want to buy a new battery then find out it makes no difference

I use Wildchild's Pure WM6.5 ROM, so there is no manila.
i use energy leo rom and mine lasts 4 days with intensive use
My battery life IMPROVED!
Yes, you heard right! Thanks to newer Roms and radios the current consumption got lower, so the battery life got better.
Only on hard use (playing, surfing, etc) i get battery problems. But normal use allows me to use the phone 2-3 days. When my xperia was new i only could use it one day, because even in standby it consumpet to much energy (about 20% in 8 hours).

That's fairly cheap. But keep in mind that the battery only has 1000mAh with 3.7V output, unlike the original 1450mAh with 3.6V output.
In any case, you can buy a new batter after another year for this cheap price heh

You WHAT?? I charge my battery every day. I don't mind, because this is not inconvenient (charger @work and @home) and I too consider myself a heavy user. But FOUR DAYS?
I have noticed an issue, which I experience with both my original battery and a brand new clone BST-41 (still 1500mAh). This is that the battery will normally merrily dwindle down to about 20-30%, at which point the X1 will die. I then plug it back in, and once it's booted I find the battery reads critical, but of course it's charging. Once it's charged back up to round about 75%, it'll skip to full, and cease charging.
The net result is that only 70% or so of my battery is usable, which is very irksome. This is the case across every ROM I've tried lately (I don't remember it on stock, but I ditched that over a year ago).
Has anybody else experienced this? Again, this is with 2 separate batteries, so I must presume it is a phone hardware bug/fault/"feature".

Here's a challenge for all your Xperia's. To you who still has 3 - 4 days life span, could you try playing mp3's? strictly via earphones. say in1 hour and 30 minutes. See if the battery last for a day.
When I do that while going to work, My battery after 1 hour or so drops to 30%. I even thought why put this feature in the first place, what was SE thinking? Other SE music phones lasts until you decided to stop playing. I know. Iknow. It's not a music but what the heck... 30%?

I left my X1 playing MP3s on earphones. From 100%, after 4 hours it read 73%.
@G. Leche: maybe you had left the screen or WiFi on. The screen, WiFi (and/or push internet), and GPS are the main battery gobblers. And how's your signal? Frequent G/E/3G switching (or simply having to search for the signal at all) will increase the radio's battery consumption 3-4 times

nope. not at all. in fact "nireklamo ko pa 'to sa SE SM Carpark" told them my phone's a bit warm. Brought 'em there 100% went around shopping and played eheads on my ear. Went back to Se after an hour so they can have a look. and they all said "normal". I guess your lucky, I bet yours is black.
and oh, naka sun cellular ako. maybe it's part of the battery drain.
yup, mine is black.
hmmm... sounds like something is using up your batt. maybe an app? i was driving around a while ago and had nitrogen on the external speaker. that's the only time it gets warm when playing MP3s (due to the screen has to be on if you want to use the speakers)
I worked at AccuShop for some time - they are generally nice folks.
Maybe I can do a review!
P.S. 1 year old, and no real changes. IMHO, the problem is that the box needs a good charge from a wallwart from time to time - always tricklecharging via USB makes the logic go bonkers!
Just got standard apps, and standard rom (SEUS). except for ms voice commander. I play mp3's through media panel btw.
I haven't even left mine to over charge, since I bought it. I always have habit though of buying a spare battery whenever I bought a new one, same goes for my laptops. But last time SE doesn't have spare batteries for X1 and since taking off of the cover can risk my phone to crack (just an educated speculation though) I don't see myself changing battery from time to time with my Xperia.

Sounds like a battery problem to me. Personally I would buy an OEM battery. Check online retailers for better prices. Using cheap batteries is a lottery.
anyone can recognize this battery is original or fake?

hey guys, hows your battery doing with heavy usage ?
and whats the idle power draw with screen off? because desire s has 20 mah... thats not exatcly right.. should be 6-7 mah tops imo.
Yup, power draw shows most on the display on mine too. Wonder why, but the battery life is kinda good though.

Had a couple of boring days at work, and managed to take at least 80% of the battery life in a 8 hour day with moderate to heavy use.
Not as good as the iphone 4 I had before, but better than the Desire, Galaxy S etc... decent but not mindblowing battery life.
Excuse me for my bad English
I think the battery is consumed by heavy programs or let's say programs consume battery like Live Wallpaper.
Live Wallpapers consume a lot of battery that many experts say don't use it if you don't want it.
I didn't buy the phone yet but I will after two weeks.

Gladly reporting that the battery life on the IS is extremely satisfactory considering the display and other capabilities.
Got the phone a couple of days back, the first day i charged fully.
The usual setting up of the phone, bluetooth transfers, internet via 3g & wi-fi, gaming, and of course the regualr calls & sms.
The battery lasted me over 13 hours.. still had 14% when i decided to charge again.
now with the usage a little lesser that the excitement has gone down a tad bit, the battery is really efficient.
close to a day (maybe more) with above average usage.
btw, also noticed the battery usage does not seem to vary much with the usage of any task killers

My battery life so far has been pretty good, my old iphone used to die mid/late afternoon with the sort of usage I put my IS through yesterday (first charge)
Went to work around 8 am, checking emails and facebook every 30 minutes aswell as texting on and off all day. Watched movies and listened to music through lunch hour, downloaded apps. Continued the same as the morning through the afternoon.
Got home and was on it constantly (ebuddy, doubletwist, facebook, market) from 5 till around midnight when it finally died.
Very happy with it.

Hi all,
With lot of enthusiasm i bought this phone last saturday but now very disappointed ....
I had most of the android phones since G1 era but never looked back.....
This phone is disappointing me with just 6 hours of battery life even with moderate use.....
Tried all custom roms but no use.....
My question is that do u also have this battery problem and its common or do u think i have a diffective phone ?

In my case the phone lasted outstanding 3.5 hours the first time I charged it.
After that it is much better. One day I finished charging the phone around 10:00 in the morning and 22:00 in the evening had 30% battery left. During that time I took 40 photos with it, did some internet browsing, few messages, played some games, also used GPS for a while, so the battery should last 12+ hours of normal usage.

I am getting my phone today and Ill keep that in mind. Thank you!
Just for the record, it can last for a LOONG time if you let it.
I forgot my charger when i went on easter holiday, shut off all data transferrs etc (since i was in a different country anyways) and only 2G network.
Phone lasted for 4 days before i could charge it, and it still had 30% left.
I've heard the first few battery cycles aren't too good but get better, I was a very heavy user when i initially got it so i can't comment

hahaha mine lasts for 2 weeks but was closed
U ever touch this phone
It would obviously last for days if your hardly touch it
All I want is for it to last one entire day (about 15 hours?) on heavy usuage (surfing, texting, social networking). I hardly play games nor use the music player (have an mp3 player for that )
The iPhone 4 was perfect for me in this aspect. The battery lasted 1 full day no matter how heavily I used the device. No, I am not a fanboy but I just like how well iOS manages power.
After the iPhone 4, I had the Dell Streak and with Juice Defender installed, it was pretty decent too. I dont know why I am here in the first place. I still havent gotten my 2X yet. Its supposed to arrive in a few hours. Ill try it out and let you guys know how well it performs.
Cheers.

You should disable "Auto-sync", disable "Automatic brightness". And what ever apps you install, dont let it auto-sync or auto-update, then you should be good. Now, it dont even drain my battery that much even thought the dataplan was on most of the time.

if i disable all and off all the apps, then y do i need this phone??
and yesterday night (12 AM to 8 AM), my battery was down by 50 % in idle
as suggested by other friends lets see until this weekend if i can see any improvement on battery front.....
If you battery goes down 50% in idle overnight then obviously you have some sort of application running rogue and preventing the phone to actually go to its sleep state. Which would also explain the heavy battery drain during daytime use.
Mine use 2-3% at the most in idle overnight - and I have no troubles whatsoever to get a full days heavy use - usually I get 2 days with moderate use. I also have an Iphone4 and my LG have better batterylife than my Iphone4, my LG also has better batterylife than my HTC Desire.
I also bought an O2x for my 17year old son - who is a very heavy user, music and videoplayback, games and constantly texting - his phone also lasts a full day with no troubles.

I rooted my standard LG O2X, then i removed the crap that LG brought on default..
(Twitter/Myspace/Facebook for LG, LG Home, LG AppAdvisor, FSecure Scanner etc etc)
Now my battery life is without further mods about 30-40 hours with calling, texting and some browsing (wifi enabled)
If you ask 1000 persons how long the battery life of their lg ox2 is you will get at least 500 answers
I can say at beginning i was shocked, but after some days the battery life gets better. Atm after 4 weeks i can say my battery lasts at least one day, depends on the degree of usage...
By the app "Ultimate Juice Defender" you can increase the battery life by factor 1.5. (sometimes i can use it for 2-3 days without charging)
Remember : If you drive a Ferrari you have to refuel a lot
No smartphone differs much from that...

Correct - and you may have some luck seeing if Watchdog can pick it up. Otherwise, charge your phone, and turn it off, then turn it on, and unplug it just before you go to bed. In the morning, you can check what application used most of the battery.
Mine uses about 1% per hour at night with JuiceDefender. Before I installed JuiceDefender the battery would go from 30% to dead overnight, preventing my alarm from going off.
JuiceDefender lets me get through the day. More specifically if you let JuiceDefender disable the data connection when the screen is off. You'll still get Whatsapp messages / emails etc if you let it sync every 15 minutes or so, without excessive battery drain.
Web browsing is also a super battery killer, I swear the battery goes down 1% per minute while browsing.
I have used many android phones and never used this juice defender..... actually i hate stop using apps for battery.... android is made out of apps....
Currently i have taken out my SE Arc and using it which is giving me 1.5 days of battery with heavy usage.... i will reset the LG phone this weekend and see, if not i would have to sell this hog......

For me there were a few apps that were stealing my battery away. Like IM+, Skype, etc. You could see that in the secret menu "how much time has this app kept the phone from sleepin".
If I turn on flight mode (no more connection) it doesnt even care when it lays there for two nights. I lost about 5% in two days without plugging it in AT ALL.
But that's not the POINT of this phone. You don't have it so you turn off everything and spoil your fun.
THE POINT IS *smashes desk* TO HAVE THOSE APPS.
If I couldn't be IM'ed all day where would the point of the phone go? For me... away.
I have had it for like 3 weeks now. When I have those things on in the background, it doesnt even last like 9 hours. It just runs flat without me even using it a lot.
Once it went so far out it died in like 3 hours WITHOUT ME USING IT. It started to run hot without any reason and draining the battery like I attached a freaking laptop with a dedicated Nvidia CPU to it. It drained the battery faster as if I was using it! I haven't yet found out what causes this. Sometimes it does it and runs empty on it.
Oh well D:
Last friday purchased HTC Incredible S, since I'm kinda hardcore user of phones (previously had old crap Samsung Tocco Lite - was surfing on internet + listening music, without problem could survive 10-12hrs nonstop use), now when I tried same with Incredible S, it end up that after 2-3 hrs of surfing + some app using for awhile, I ended up at 30-35% from 100%. I did turned all syncs off, brightness to minimums, turned of almost everything and all tasks, so it was just like test for how long surviving it with no internet(wifi/mobile),any sync, any sound/vibration and low brightness - it survived 1 hour longer then before. Like srsly 400£ worth phone with battery what can't hold even 6 hrs?
P.S. first try with apps and such was record for 4 hrs, next test without any apps etc etc survied 5 hrs...

I see that you have Incredible too, how long your battery lasts when using atleast 2h of app/call/internet usage?
same here, I need to keep charging it. maybe upgrading the kernel and rom helps.

I'm seeing this aswell. The more i use my phone the better the battery gets.
my battery does last 1day 12-15hr. All sync on, mobile networks on, background sync on. Normal use, that is incredible.
well when i first got my IS, the battery life is ridiculously short, from 100% -> 20% in 2 hrs of intense use!
But the battery life is getting better at day 3 (around 5x full charge cycle), do the calibration thing, use till 1%, but make sure phone is not dead, and recharge to 100%, redo for like 5 times.
If battery life still sucks, i think you get a bad battery
My battery lasts 9 hours of intense use (Wifi,3G,Games,Surf net,Listen to music)
Hello
I have installed Battery Monitor Widget Pro to check battery consumption. You can see so which are the applications that drain more your battery, tipically the display.
My battery runs one full day, even one and half with Wifi and BT always ON and normal telephone usage but if I switch on 3G it decrease rapidly and sometimes cannot reach one full day.
So in my case the 3G connection drains a lot.
Stefano
I've had mine since late april and I get a whole day, at least, out of it. Yesterday, I actually went 24 hours without charging it and I still had 30% left. The only "syncs" that are on, are my gmail, weather and Whatsapp. I can definitely confirm it gets better with time!
has anyone ordered from Amazon.Co.Uk, I was wondering if they can refund for phone, so I can take instead HTC Sensation :/
Anyways, I got this phone like 3-4 days ago, now I'm trying to maximally drain it with apps/games to get that battery life up
sense drains your battery...
and also 3g drains it if you have a unstable connection
what i allways do is out of the box, drain it 100%
charge it 100%
drain it 100%
charge it 100% and your done...
might be a ghost story, but surely seems to work for me, however 12hours and mine is empty as fk, with gaming, bad 3g connection, wifi, gtalk etc.etc. aka daily usage..
but thats cuz im running cyanogenmod, which isnt 100% stable yet
Do people not read anything these days? You're complaining about battery life of a smart phone... None of them last longer than a day or two max. Not to mention it's a new toy and you can find yourself on it more often. Checking the battery constantly kills your battery. Tones of widgets kill your battery.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App
I do understand about 1-2 days of uptime for phone is ok, but mine doesn't survive even 6h +_+ , contacted HTC and they said that battery is fauly.
ANyways... I dont use widgets and actually turned of all sync and stuff like that to prevent battery drain, even in airplane mode, it drains from 40 to 5% (to complete dead) in about 1-2 hrs
I find battery life pretty poor. After charging to 100%, it can be down to 90% within half an hour - without really even using the phone. I can turn on the phone at 7am, and it will be down to between 50 and 40% by 11pm, never normally enough to get through the next day.
I'm going to try some overclocking to see if that helps.

Overclocking will drain even more battery, downgrade better speed of it and it should save battery
I've found that for the first few weeks of having the phone, the battery life will be crap... cause you're generally always messing around with it.
Lately I've been getting two work days out of a charge (6am to ~6pm the next day). I rooted the phone, uninstalled a bunch of bloatware, and set it to underclock when the screen is off (although I'm having issues with that one at the moment).
I'm thinking to buy other phone instead of this (amazon is accepting this for refund/replacement now), so I was thinking if it's worth take Sensation instead of Incredible S?
