[Q] Xperia TX Battery Draining Fast - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Hey Guys,
I just got my Xperia TX last week, and I have to say I really love it. But I have one issue with my phone, the battery drains really fast. I always use internet, wifi and bluetooth (smartwatch). I can get around 4 to 5 hours before it drains out. Also I noticed that after booting up, my dual core CPU is always at 1.5GHz almost all the time, using system panel lite. Is this normal? Any suggestions guys?
Thanks.

Check what process is consuming the CPU or I suspect it to be a faulty SD card or even a faulty phone..

Thanks I will try to remove my sd card, and try not to use my smartwatch that uses my Bluetooth.
Let's see if I will observe some improvements.

Battery life

Hi
I've been lurking these forums looking for this but haven't found anything quite like this. The P880 prides itself on great standby battery life but mine is draining more than my previous Motorola RAZR (not the maxx). It never lasts more than about 14-15 hours and that is when i do almost nothing. One, two calls a few messages with no wifi and data off. I have factory reset the phone a few times and whiped the cache. I've tried not installing any software when done and fully charging but still it drains. I'm on v10f but this was a problem before I updated as well.
My only thought is that the battery is flawed, but I don't want to wait 2 weeks for it in repairs if it isn't (the service here is slow and customer support is weak when it comes to this, here in Iceland)
I took screenshots of the drainage. 90% of that is me not using the phone at all. Is this normal? Should I ask for a new battery? The phone is about 3 weeks old btw.

What version are you on? 10f has seen lot of improvement in battery life. I dont have to use SetCPU anymore to get better battery and let it run on max 1.5ghz and still seeing very good battery life, despite heavy use.
Yeah I'm on 10f as well. I was wondering if maybe flashing the phone and try to reset it totally would help but I don't know if that'd be any different than just factory resetting?

This was taken at the same time as in the orriginal post. I only talked for a few minutes though. I have sync disabled all the time as well.
I have seen other imgs of the battery graph and when it's on standby the line hardly tilts downwards. This can't be normal right?

I'm going to charge him to 100% and leave him with nothing on all night and see how he handles it. What would normally happen? How much percent-drop would the battery have on an 7-8hour timespan?
Went to sleep with the phone at 94% and woke up with 69%. Everything was off. Sync, mobile data, wifi, backround data, location, gps, nfc, I even set it to 2g networks only. Now it says that the "phone" took 69% of that? I'm flabbergasted.

Same here man but didn't diseabled auto sync and broadcoast cell yet so I'm curious if I go sleep and wake up how much juice it took from my 4xHD. Something is sucking out the juice out of our phones.
The only thing that update did change with me is the heath it didn't get as hot as before but my battery is still eating a lot even when is standby.
Hey, I don't no if your phone is rooted or not?
Try deleting superuser, it helped my battery life. And also you should charge your phone more than 100% , that helped too for me.

Try to do a factory reset, the update didn't help me until I did a factory reset. Now my 4X HD only looses about 1-2% over night vid auto sync, before factory reset I lost about 30-40%.

I use GO Power Master to auto switch to Alarm mode (only alarm, brightness 30%), and the phone eat less than 1% of battery for 6 hours. (firmware V10f)
I cannot see the attached images (don't know why) but I think you should check how long your phone is Awake, Screen On, Wifi and GPS On... then see which apps are cause the drainage.
Also, give the battery more recharge cycles. The battery life on first 2 cycles was catastrophic - for example it lost 4% just by rebooting, but after few days it stabilized to my ordinary each 2nd day charging cycle when turned off in the night. The biggest battery eater seems to be for me display brightness.
Batterylife with 10F is pretty good. Over night I dont lose any battery (data off) and during the day with autosync on only ~2 percent per hour. This is even better than the Samsung Galaxy S2 which I previously used. I did set CPU max speed to 1,1GHz with SetCPU.

Oh my! I think that worked! So the root was causing the drainage? I'd really like to have him rooted though. Is there any other way to avoid this?
I'm testing this out right now though. I will know if this was the problem in a few hours!

how am i supposed to get more than 3hours on screen time with this phone?

Sony really messed up this phone by putting a tiny battery in it.
I can only get 3 hours of on screen time with it.
All the reviews lied about 5-6 hours. its a joke.
I had the phone 4 or 5 days now, screen on 20%, NFC off, stamina mode on.
if i use the phone, its only for the occasional phone call, some basic website browsing or watching videos on MX player with H/W mode.
for example, it lost 15% battery watching half an hour video. thats 30% in an hour, so basically 3 hours of wtaching a video.
My phone is currently on 60% battery.
its been 17.5 hours since it was charged to 100%.
android system has used 21%
screen has used 18% (with screen usuage time on 1hr 12m)
wifi 13%
mediaserver 11% (what the hell is mediaserver??)
Cell standby 7%
voice calls 7%
etc
stamina mode is on, and i've whitelisted nothing.
It's had 2 or 3 full charges since i've had it. the battery life is a joke.
from my usage above, does this all sound normal???
i love this phone, except the battery life. sony really messsed up here.
Sounds similar to my experience also.
Had over 5 hours with the phone on 13 hours of battery, yes there are software issues but this should be possible.

Screen on time does not mean watching a video. Have you also tried turning off the bravia engine? You'll get a bit more life out of watching videos then.

this seems like a good buy right?
i spend a lot of time travelling, so will rely on this to watch a lot of videos, plays games, etc.
it seems like a good purchase right?
because i absolutely love everything else about this sony phone, i even prefer sony's version of android over stock android! first time I have ever preferred a manufacturers version over plain vanilla android.

I never watched a video only some youtube videos, so it might be different with watching videos. But I have the device since 28 February and the battery really seems to be improved allot. for instance I have used the device in the same way as last Monday but now I have over 10% more battery than last week. Also I noticed that the brightness heavily impacts the battery. If you are in a pinch the best is to lower the brightness to it's lowest setting with auto brightness turned on. Another thing with video is that it will differ between videos as bit-rate and format will have an impact on the battery. I would be surprised if you really notice a difference between 1080p and 720p in terms of quality since the screen is very small, but I would guess that it would be less demanding of the battery. Maybe a bit of experimenting with different bit-rate and format is warranted.
I would also know what the hell is mediaserver...i got over 14% usage...

Mediaserver does seem to spring into action whenever you view images, watch videos and listen to music. For some users, it then goes into overdrive using a lot of processing power, making the device hot and draining the battery. I've read that a corrupt file can send mediaserver into an infinite loop.
Anyway, the mediaserver battery drain is an Android issue - users have been having the same issue with galaxy s3, nexus 4, nexus 7 and other devices. Try force stopping Google Play Music and uninstalling the updates, and if you don't use it, disable it altogether. Then switch off your phone, wait a few seconds, reboot and recharge. Other than that, you may have to reboot after loading music, videos, images or find the dodgy files (if there are any) on your device. Not really an acceptable situation - Google need to sort this long-running issue out.
Media server will show up when your watching videos/listening to music... Compare its awake time with your time watchings vids, and you'll see they match up. I noticed that newer versions of mxplayer are draining more battery than older ones on my XperiaS.( 5h vs 8h , theoretically) . Try downloading older version that has "hardware decoder" , not "hardware decoder+ " , or disable Hw+ . Im getting mine XZ this week ..i'll look into it

Media server is responsible for a lot of things. But most of the time when it is stuck it is stuck on indexing. Could be the SD card, best is to reformat the SD in the phone. Also I noticed it is sometimes slow to update photos that I added manually, this could be because I have stamina mode switched on dough.
You can force the Album app to re index by removing data and cash and re starting your phone.
Hmm...need to sort out this media server problem...do you have any solution..

Like I said format your SD card in phone put the media back on it and let it be indexed. indexing is done by the media server and depending on the media on your sd card this could take a while. Also switch off stamina mode while it is busy indexing.
Also cAn u say me that how to soft reset the z...long pressing and holding didnt help

I've got 54 percent battery left and I've got 2 hours 26 min screen on time right now, that's with watching some video, looking at pics and web useage. That's good enough for me.. 5 hours screen on by death.
I finded a solution for lowering mediaserver.
Keypad sound off,screen vibration off.
But when you turn on music or look videos it will run again.(images don't have anything with mediaserver)

[Q] xperia sp professional reviews vs real life??

So I'm very interested in the xperia so but some of the professional reviews out there have some criticisms that worry me.
The camera I know about and it seems like it's correct from other posts on this sub forum. However I think I can deal with it since I have an actual SLR and my phone is never going to replace that now is it.
However some reviews say that the battery life of this phone is below par. This confuses me because the mAh of this phone is pretty darn high. In particular they say that you'll only be able to play gta3 for example for about three hours. I have no idea if this is a long time or not but the reviewer certainly didn't think so.
Another point that they make is that the phone sometimes stutters and behaves slowly despite high benchmark scores. They suggest that this is because the xperia sp has only 1gb of RAM or that Sony hasn't properly optimised the software.
So do any of these claims hold water? In particular I want to know how the battery life compares to the galaxy s3?
The stuttering may indeed be a software issue so another important consideration for me is whether this phone will have good unofficial support? I guess that's a hard question to answer at the moment though!
Thanks in advance all!
I can't compare against the s3, but compared to my last android the battery life is superb. I haven't had any stuttering at all either. I'm very happy with my sp but it is a big jump up from my ageing LG p500.
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
I haven't had any stuttering, too.
About the battery life:
When I set the brightness to 50% and activate the auto brightness (in settings) it was about 41 hours. Today I tried the app "yet another auto brightness" (because the auto brightness in settings only adjust +/- 10%). after 14 hours and about 3 hours with active display the battery is at 12 %...

I don't think any phone can play GTA 3 for more than 3 hours, since all phones will overheat and start to lag. Battery life is not an issue.
Those guys don't know what they are talking about. 1 GB of ram is enough. In android, unused ram is wasted ram, and the launcher only requires 40-50 mb of ram.
I am going to bet that you read a review by PhoneArena. Those guys hate Sony phones, but for some reason like the tablets
As for Techradar, they have a campaign on Samsung products, due to them being their sponsor.
From trustedreviews.com
However, it's not all plain sailing as there are times when the SP stutters just a bit more than we're comfortable with. Sometimes it would randomly refuse to pop up the keyboard in the Chrome browser or when we tried to use the search box in the App Drawer. There were also little slow downs and pauses that we haven’t seen on other handsets running Jelly Bean, such as when you exit some apps back to the homescreen and it takes a couple of seconds to redraw the icons on the screen. These issues could, of course, be due to the 1GB of Ram that Sony has twinned with the processor, but we think it's more likely that Sony needs to better optimise its launcher and firmware to iron out some bugs
Not true? Exaggerated?
The only thing that I can confirm is, that it takes sometimes 1-2 seconds to redraw the icons on the homescreen after closing some games... I could not find the other reported bugs.

I am a regular player of GTA Vice CIty on my my X SP but when the phone is on Charging and some time after long play game automatically shuts down (around 45 min) and phone heats up.
Few times when i played on Battery it drained around 15-16% of battery in half hour of play.
Considering 2370mAh battery, its backup is not that good (Mediaserver Poblem) backup of s3 is marginally better
and camera is 100 time better in Xperia P (have compared it personally).
I also have problem with KeyBoard not coming up many time in Chrome and other place.
THis is my personal review
Ive had no problems at all with any of the problems mentioned on here its a great device its super fast and stable and ive disabled apps i dont need like facebook maps etc etc so u can debloat on stock so far but obviously u can debloat more with root

Posting from the xperia sp now!!
I haven't noticed any problems with stuttering yet but I notice there is already an update to the firmware. Maybe that fixed some of the issues. I'm on ten percent battery and it's only midday!!! But didn't charge before I turned out on from the box haha.
About 3 or 4 hours with screen on from 54% not terrible!
Maybe the keyboard issue is to do with the Sony keyboard? I'm using Google keyboard and it's all fine so far.
It's quantum leap. I must admit my P500 still charming, and works fine for last three years. Hope my Xperia SP can last even longer

Extremely bad battery life

I've been experiencing very bad battery life lately. Currently using PAC, I could lose 10% of battery in under 20 minutes of normal web browsing with the brightness set all the way to low. I'm underclocked and undervolted, battery health is good. I don't really know what's causing my media server thing to use so much battery but it's definitely chewing up more juice than normal. How am I supposed to fix this?
Stop media scanning.
On the Store there is an app called Rescan Media Root.
Media server drain ia usually caused by the sd scanning proccess, sometimes a bad file can cause it to go nuts and keeps the proccess alive, thus killing your battery.
Give it a go.

I will also try this, my phone is only two days old and the battery life on this device is absolutely horrible compared to my Samsung Galaxy Note 2, I will check back with you folks and let you know the results
It is horrible compared to a Note 2, even if you didn't have that bug.
Plus, CM, AOSP, and PAC, all of them don't have that great of a battery life compared to stock.
Say you can get a solid 5+ hours out of a stock rom with few tweaks, whereas on those buolds mentioned you could get 4h, with not so great idling times.

Sony stock is very good rom to me. I will go to custom rom only if sony discontinued the updates, or sony makes the rom while drunk ( too much bugs, unstable... )
And, don't undervolt too much, -100mV is ok,
there's some test out there (not APQ8064), when undervolt too much, the processor will messed up the calculation, and re-calculate the process, wasting more battery and time. [this is applied to my old xperia arc]
If on Intel X86, I never get any issues/drawbacks from undervolting.
Sorry if I'm wrong, and sorry for my bad english.

thats definitely true, I know these batteries aren't supposed to have "memory" but should I do the full charge and drain with them?
I guess I'm under the assumption of it being newer and better technology then my Galaxy Note 2 I was coming from, I was expecting it to be right off the bat better.
thanks

Diff threads I read say it's no good to let it drain down to low, I usually charge around 20,30 percent I do about once a month let drain completely

Bad battery? So this type not worthed to buy?
Hey, the "rescan media server" app fixes the battery drain temporarily. How do I find out and delete the file that is causing my media scanner to keep running? I switched over to another ROM a few hours ago and media scanner is still taking a big chunk of my battery until I kill it. Do I need to reformat my card? Run anti virus?
Try this app. It is an android issue not an Sony issues. The mediaserver running all the time. This app will help. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot

how can you have Custom ROM, but not want root?
Sony stock is very good rom to me. I will go to custom rom only if sony discontinued the updates, or sony makes the rom while drunk ( too much bugs, unstable... )
And, don't undervolt too much, -100mV is ok,
there's some test out there (not APQ8064), when undervolt too much, the processor will messed up the calculation, and re-calculate the process, wasting more battery and time. [this is applied to my old xperia arc]
If on Intel X86, I never get any issues/drawbacks from undervolting.
Sorry if I'm wrong, and sorry for my bad english.

Crazy undervolt. I thought my -200 was about the max you could achieve.

This is of because a lot of the time i cant get it to do it, but when ever I'm at work It Does it. never used to Any ideas? Thanks Guys ! Rom Maybe? Anyone got any suggestions?
Hello,
I would recommend You to install 2 apps.
1. CPU spy
2. Wakelock detector
After You get some statistics while the phone is discharging please post screenshots here
