any suggestion about different rom?

There's an app in play store. Also, you can boot to recovery. Then go to advanced, and wipe batt stats there.
I suggest you look for threads on calibrating battery though.

Have you unlocked your bootloader? On stock kernel, gdx is probably one of your best bet.

Aha. There must be a misbehaving app. Try using watchdog to idenyify which app(s) causes the drain so you can replace it with a similar app.

Charge battery to 100% then wipe battery stats in Recovery. Go to Advanced>wipe battery stats. Then use the phone till its 0% and charge to 100% and wipe battery stats again
Freeze Apps u dont use. Search in Play store for APP quarantine.
Dont use live wallpapers.
Shut off ur phone when u dont need.
And try useing another rom like others said. Presto from haka is a good rom.

Go to the link below in my signature to know wether you're bootloader is locked or unlocked..
I guess it must be locked as you have stock kernel...

LOL! Your phone had GingerDX pre-installed, where did you buy it???? :laugh:
To check whether your bootloader is locked/unlocked you need to access the service menu. Try this page
Lol, I just noticed this thread is several months old.

Soo what have we learned?
Flash kernel then ROM.
Don't forget to full wipe before installing any ROM.
Make sure you flash the right kernel for the ROM you want.

I want to get rid of the problem so i keep on checking it.
Is this problem related to Kernel or some chip problem?
If this is kernel related Plz suggest me kernel(not stock) and custom ROM (4.2.2) for my device.
I will revert back if or not i get my solution.
Your problem is the kernel.
Stock rom is the most stable.

Glad That I am not alone....
I have tried everything possible on the software part i.e installing roms and kernels....but no result
I think this might be problem from hardware side(Battery, its connectors etc)
When does your problem started?
and have you tried to replace battery?

As i wrote i sent it to a support company thats is certified by SONY.
My problem is there for three or four days.
I did not try to open the backcover becaus of warranty.
I hope that the company repairs my phone quickly and i can report what was the problem at the hardware.

Installed all my stuff from scratch with custom ROM and full wipe. Everything is the same and works as advertised. I have no adverse battery side effects and get more life out of my device than on 4.1.2 and 4.2.2. Don't really mind that it says Android system... Plenty of stuff out there that can likely break it down for you if needed.

Anyone else with the. 238 system update have their battery shortened?
Also stamina mode isnt performing well. When I checked at 70% battery I turned off stamina mode and back on to see te difference... ONE HOUR!

I fully agree.
Before 35.0.a.1.238, SM was great. Doubled my batt life. I got an estimated 54hrs with SM on BEFORE the .238.
Now with 35.0.a.1.238 i get a FEW MINS extra with SM.
Really hating the new update.
Anyway I can revert back to the stock build number?
Downgrade the system update?

Yeah.. Download flashtool and an ftf with the old firmware, flash it as the instructions say and you are good to go.
There are tons of guides on the net and you should be able to find an ftf firmware from xperifirm.com or something like that, flashtool can help with that also.
