[Q] Playing Mp3s (Mediaserver) uses as much battery as screen - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

Xperia V running 4.1.2
I don't know why, on CM10 it was nothing like this: 2 hours of playing mp3s results in a mediaserver drain equal to 2 hours of screen time. 2 hours screen on, 2 hours mp3, both are at 40% and my battery is 2/3rds gone. I've done a lot of searching but nobody has found any solution. This is not media scanning, it's simply stupidly high power consumption when playing mp3s.

Batterytime on Xperia

Is there anyone else here that experience that the batterytime is max 3-4 hours standby?
No, battery time is more than great. I got my X1 last monday and the first three times I charged the battery to full and then let the X1 with full screen light on. This lastet more than six hours!!! Then the X1 shut off itself. The same at the second charging zyklus. Again more than 6 hours of best screen-light before switching off in cause of less power.
This is the best result I evere had at a PPC
guess you'd have to replace your battery. seems to be buggy.
my battery lasts about 6h+ of video playback (700mb, avi, dvdrip)

Wow,
I'm using Sync and wifi. can i't be because?
I got 4-5 hrs with wifi and bluetooth while streaming with the screen on max brightness. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
It's Media Panel
Have you launched the Media Panel?
I noticed that if I used the Media Panel for music playback
the back/battery was getting VERY hot. Not good for its
lifetime . So this Panel consumes a lot of power. I guess
the Xperia developers got some work to do.
Also Wifi needs lot of battery power.
Using both about 4 hours are thinkable.

No, not mediapanel.
Well, i test without Synk and Wifi tomorrow.
That's it. It's Wifi. Having Wifi turned on all the time you
will get these results. It's one of the most battery intense
functions. Only turn it on if you need it. For example,
notebooks with much larger batteries will have much less
runtime (bad english, I know ).
Sync isn't responsible for this. I have an hosting exchange
server running but I didn't notice any effect on the battery.
Hope, I could help.

im able to switch my wifi on for 3 hours then music for another 2 hours and 1 and a half hour calls still manage to have 3 bars left on my phone whats wrong with yours?
the battery on the x1 is insanly good compared to the diamond.
(however, when i was charging it yesterday there was somekind of bug that drained the battery when the charger was plugged in, it did not detect the charger after a while, havent checked what it could be, had msn/skype/wifi and the arc slider open )
edit: softreset solved that problem
the battery of X1 is working fine, 10 hours continues use time (for internet + MSN)
WiFi is something that should be only turned on when you are using it. Same goes with BT too infact.
so my accu holds approx. 1 day with music, Games, wifi, video, but I think the accu is already become better as in start in the normal one use he holds 2.5 days
Wow, 8-10 hours without Wlan!
on 2g i got msn/skype running from morning to bedtime, 3pushmail accounts and normal usage, 2bars left of battery at bedtime so its good.
But. i get strange problems when charging the battery and the phone is on. it seams like when the battery is fully charged, it starts to discharge if i not plug out the charger, this morning when i woke up the phone was off but fully charged, it could mean that the battery was charged, then discharged and shut off, then charged again.
a normal businessday: 230 min phone, 30 mails, 15 SMS, bit Internet ....and the Battery is still alive....it´s good enough for me )
sonox
it,s the poor reception that drains the battery,seeking for a signal most of the time..
Since having the X1... Now 1 week... I would have to say its the best battery life on a WM device I have used...
I get approx 2days of usage without charging... which I think is good.
Cheers
I heve my phone checking for new mail every 5 minutes. Does this consume a lot of battery or is it negligible?

yes it consume a lot of battery, more on 3g than on 2g, if you think its a problem. just increase the time to 30min or so.

[Q] PowerAMP and battery consumption on SGS

I absolutely love PowerAMP, but I've noticed that it eats quite a lot battery. Without any album art downloading and scrobbling, my battery drains approximately 6-8 % per hour while using PA.
What kind of consumption-levels do others get?
In idle mode my SGS consumes circa 1 % per hour.
1. Charge battery, get few files into playlist in PA, set to repeat all, hit play, leave for like 8 hours, write down battery %;
2. repeat the same for stock player,
3. compare the results.
For me (sgs 2.2 stock, no other apps), it's a complete match, i.e. same percentage of battery was used for the same files played for same number of hours. Though, PowerAMP was with Eq and Tone enabled.

[Q] Clock app drains power enormously

It;s my second day I have my HTC One. YEstarday I managed around 9 hours with 80% of battery doing pretty much every thing I do during the day. wi-fi and 3G combined, video, youtube streaming, reeding browsing. listening to music etc 50% brightness. However today I noticed battery drain. I was using stop watch for around three hours ...later own I checked battery stats and I was surprised that clock app consumed most of all 52% while the runner was boat browser only 14%. I can't believe that simple clock app could drain battery so badly. I am left with 37% of battery at the moment.What is going on?

There is no problem having 47C when playing games. There is no relation between disk space and CPU temp. 8-10 hours of battery life means nothing without info about display usage, wifi usage, mobile data usage. Mine can easily makes 2 days when I'm not using it at all. I really doubt it will last more than 8 hours playing games. Hope it help

20-25% of battery drop under heavy usage for an hour looks fine imo. You should take a screenshot of your battery graph and post it here so it will be easier to determine if 10 hours of battery life is normal in your case. You might want to look at this thread and compare your values: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195079
Whatever you do, don't try to check your laptop's CPU temperature or you'll think it's about to cook itself to death!
45° is fine; maybe even a little cool for that kind of heavy usage. The One feels hotter than other phones despite operating at the same temperatures because of the conductive metal back. Don't worry.

[Q] xperia z battery help

Hi! I have a major problem with my phone:
Please help me to get at least 3-4 hours of screen per one charging,
From the very beginning of the phone (with android 4.2) the maximum screen time was 2,5 - to a maaaximum of 3 hours per charging. The average usage was: maybe 30 minutes of call time, 20 sms, 1/2 hrs of web browsing/facebook, maybe 2 hours of music with bluetooth headset, 20 min of gaming - not heay games.
After 4.3 update the battery life dropped.
But with 4.4 android I barely get 1 -1,5 hrs of screen time (considering the average use of the phone written before) - i deactivated location.
- i checked the battery usage but google services didn't drain a lot of battery power like some users complained. I mean I could have survived with the battery consumption in android 4.2 (despite some users had 7 hrs of screen time), but i am curios how to get more battery life (now i miss those 2,5 hrs of screen time :/). If it helps i can upload some usage stats, but there is nothing unusual in them, only the things i use.
As a conclusion i wonder how can i make the battery last longer or how can i optimize my phone to get a decent battery life? Thank you all in advance.

Listening to music via a bluetooth headset and playing games consumes a lot of battery. Try to enable stamina mode and stop playing games. Besides that use WiFi instead of mobile data.
Try all this and you will see that the battery lasts longer
i have stamina mode enabled.If its weekend i don't listen to music (i only listen at work) and the battery still doesn't lasts any longer. Do you find an average of 1 hr and 15 minutes of screen time to be a good battery usage time?

No it is not.
To check your battery open service menu and go to service tests - battery.
How many apps do you have installed? Do you have root access?
i have a total of 6 menu pages of apps, but i barely use 3-4 apps. I looked into running apps and only 7-8 extra apps are running constantly besides the normal processess, but in usage stats they don;t appear as battery consumers (ex. kaspersky). I never had root access into this phone. I'm waiting until there will be no more official updates for this model
- at sevice tests, battery it says: good, no need to replace it

Root and an unlocked bootloader are two different things
With root you could install battery stats for better analytics of your batterylife and appops to control the permissions of your apps.
i know, i had my previous phone routed (xperia T), and i installed custom roms in it etc (especially because of lagging). But before 4.4, the software of tihs phone worked perfect (no lags) so i had no interest in forcing running apps to close. but as i read, hope in a few weeks we get the update, if it's good i'll gona keep it and root the phone, else =>downgrade to 4.3 followed also by root

Yeah I had the T, too, and 4.1.2 was a pain.
Please report back when you've testet your battery without bluetooth and gaming
When I'm at University I listen about 2 - 3 hours per day to music via bluetooth. My screen on time is about 2-3 hours. But I don't play and use wifi mostly.
ok, i will. Thanks
