anyway to disable sensors?
and would that save battery life?
no u cant switch off the sensors...because most of the senors are the integral part of the OS.....u can use power saving mode to increase ur battery backup.....and switching them off wont make much difference coz they are made to use very less energy to work on....their power consumption is very low....
ok thanks

Hello everybody
I would like to know from you if battery saver apps are usefull or just useless.
I am using right now super power and i think it could save some energy but it is also quite annonying for example to wait for the band switch.
It is worth to to deal with this apps or you doesnt care about the energy you loose and enjoy to have no troubles with such apps.
Just out of curiosity which battery saver app you use when you use one?

I use Juice Defender Ultimate and find it to extend the battery life a whole lot.
What it does is automaticly turn off data comunications when the screen goes off. It then turns data back on once every houre to let the phone check email and stuff like that.
You can customise almost everything. I really like it and would recommend it to anyone.

Since I started using Green Power Premium, I find my phone on when I wake up in the morning
I too use juice defender, at this moment tells me my battery life has increased by x1.87
what that translates to in a percentage i dont know but hey !!! it saved some juice.
all these apps do is just make it quicker and easier to toggle things on/off, you could do it yourself but why waste time when the app does it for ya ???
some may argue that the app is constantly running in the background therefore its hogging battery, but too be honest, all you can do is try and see for yourself.
BUT !! i would recommend them to any one, Mainly Juice defender and some sort of toggle widget. hand in hand they work well
No battery savings app here.
If you prefer battery life over fancy looking screens (like myself), just get rid of all the constantly updating widgets and crap like that.
I managed to stretch my battery life to a consistent 48 hours per full charge. And that's with an average of 2,5 hours display on and a lot of listening to PowerAMP.
I just removed bloatware with titanium backup, set my wifi to sleep when the screen goes off, and lastly use setcpu app to downclock with certain profiles. I get excellent battery life now.
What are your experiences with the sytem or custom energy saving settings? I have them both turned off, but maybe thats not the best setting for the best battery time.
me too
i have them also turned off, because i think the best way to save energy is to switch off the things you don't need manually.
otherwise there is always a service running in the background wich is causing some battery drain
I turn them off the 15fps on the UI makes my head hurt.

That's what I thought too...... didn't know about the 15fps.
after flashed JB ROM, I rooted my Xperia TX with bin4ry v.26 tool ( and installed SU ) and installed CWM v6. Then i test my battery with checked option in Battery extend option. After one hour, battery of my phone lost 18% . Grrr.. i tested again in 1 hour and i had same result. Anyone here have same issue with me and why it drained like crazy.
Sorry for my bad english
After testing with many setting, i see Battery extended stanby mode is my issue. When i turn off, battery drained as usually. Any one know how to fix ?
How many apps are running in background? What data connections do you use and how much data traffic have you got? How much display-on time do you have? How bright is your display?
On my V, the display is the one unit that sucks most of the juice. So I try to keep display brightness as low as possible (so I can still read it depending on ambient light), to keep my data off when I don't need it, and to keep unwanted or unused apps from running in the background.
But granted, the 1750 mAh batteries they put into these things are a joke.

Hm. If it still drains 18% in 1 hr, that's crazy. No idea what's happening there.
my Xperia TX drains faster in Jellybean too compare to when im using ICS
I flash back to ICS. My battery 1% can stand for 3hours if you didn't used the phone.

Mmm.. Not i don't want to use JB, cause battery really drain too fast although everything shows improvement in JB for TX update but not the battery..
Me too, JB just drains battery crazy. It's the Google Now/Gmap thing. But it doesn't drain as much in WiFi.
hey guys, just wanted to know if any of use battery saving apps other than sony's super stamina.
if so what do u use, and which do u think is better.
currently im using lenovo power saving from my yoga 8
Basically battery saving app not only disable your data & wifi stuffs. It also kills the apps which is consuming more power. But android again starts the app which will drain more battery juice. So i wont suggest to use any battery saving apps. You can wisely act to save your battery.
Disable data, WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth when there is no need of it. Disable auto brightness, use greenify to manage your apps.
if you have root, use greenify to hibernate the apps. thats the best battery saving app.
ah forgot to mention i also use greenify. thx for the comments
There is a greenify for unrooted phones (see playstore)....
However I doubt any batter saving app works as it should... They only turn off some connections like Wifi and data and thats it... (Same with stamina mode)... There is no app (atleast that I know of) that really helps saving battery.
If you're on stock then stamina mode is probably the best, if you're on a custom rom then I use greenpower and it works nicely as a replacement. It really depends on how you use your phone though as to what will work well, you can micro manage down to specific apps but it will barely be noticable saving power when the phone is in use its more for not wasting power when the screen is off (which is what Stamina mode does) that youll notice the saving.
I have Greenpower to only enable data when the screen is unlocked and to automatically turn off all data and sound for a night period but other than that it all runs as normal.
By default the bluetooth is turned on and I dont use any wireless devices so that was a no brainer to turn off. I'm not sure how effective it would be to turn off Always On Display and I'm sorry to any fans of it but I dont see the value in it so I'll turn that off to hopefully gain additional battery. I'm also unsure if I should turn off auto brightness or not but I'm mostly concerned with just turning off features that I wont use and its just draining the battery for nothing.
Any other suggestions?
