My xperia sp battery is draining like hell.
No sim card
No wifi
No bluetooh
No mobile data
No apps installed(except bbs)
i had this problem for 6 months already, the wakelock supertsamina xssm is always there, top of the list
no matter stock rom, custom rom (locked lb), it's always therem, like a devil keep clinging on my phone
i already went to the service center with my warranty, they said 2 days of standby time without
simcard with 0% usage is normal for a smartphone, (what bull**** is this)
according to the graph, the battery drain is very serious, until i reboot the phone,
it went normal for a while, then the drain is coming again, currently on a custom rom (locked bl)
the stock rom i had i already factory reset over 30 times since i got this drain, and using stock rom
is a confirm battery drainer for me, really need help here.

Hello. I updated my T to a JellyBean a week ago. My bootloader is unlocked and I have stock kernel with TWRP.
My problem is whenever I boot my phone soon or later I get massive amounts of Partial Wakelock time from keypad and SMSDispatcher.
I have root and I installed better battery stats. Yesterday it showed me about 9h of total time, about 7h of deep sleep and... about 4h of partial wakelocks which was mainly caused (about 95% of total partial wakelocks time) by SMSDispatcher. I provided some earlier screenshots from BBS and Settings. It shows only 30 minutes of SMSDispatcher time but it's still quite big amount of time in comparison with ICS where this problem never occured. On the secons BBS screen there is huge Alarm Manager time but it does not matter, below there is still SMSDispatcher messing with my phone.
This is what I already tried:
1. I did a fresh, perfectly clean flash, I did not reatore ANY data from ICS at all. Nothing has changed.
2. I did not remove any system apks and there was no effect.
3. I removed the same apks I removed on ICS (I don't use most of them) and there was no effect.
4. I flashed .195 FW ICS baseband (because I had problems with low signal) and there was no effect.
5. I tried to wait as many users say after such big update we must give our phone somw time to optimize everything. I waited a week and guess what... there was no effect.
6. I wiped Dialer/SMS/Keypad data and there was no effect.
BUT! I did something interesting today. I turned off Airplane Mode for about 4 hours and left my phone in my locker at my job and what? Wakelocks disappeared! There were absolutely NO signs of any app waking up the phone.
I'm very curious what the hell is going on. There are no signs of any similar problems on the net. Please help me of you can. On ICS I had amazing battery life, sometimes the phone lasted even for more than 2 days without charging.
Please post your ideas. I think I tried almost everithing to fix this, without result...

Roman

SMSDispatcher is obviously handling the SMS, keeps track of an SMS that has been sent to the Radio Interface Layer (RIL is a layer in android which provides an interface to the hardware's radio and modem), until it it has successfully been sent, it is awaiting a delivery status report for some SMS that has bean sent, it is retrying to send a previously failed SMS message, and more ... so it might have anything to do with any of this.
So when your phone is in Airplane Mode you are not using any radio/modem and that's why you don't have WakeLocks connected to SMSDispatcher.
I don't know what can you do about this, it may have something to do with weak signal and the phone keep trying and failing to send something, or it is constantly awaiting some delivery report but it's failing because of weak signal or something ...
To be honest I'm just saying some random stuff ... maybe you can try and disable delivery report, delete every SMS if you have any ... I don't know

I tried to delete every sms - no result.
Tried the second thing you said... to disable delivery reports - no result...
I just don't have any idea how to solve this...

Flashing different ROM-s (German, UK, Europe) gives no result. Soon or later I have the same problem. I flashed back to ICS and there is totally no problem with anything.
I guess I'll have to wait for future releases. I hope Sony will fix this.
i got a drain problem too.. When i leave the phone in stand by mode over the night , i wake up in the morning and i see that it drained 4 to 8% of the battery .. i also updated το JB 4.1.2 a few days ago.
I didn't have any battery issues with 4.0.4 i am pretty sure that i had better battery management.
I have android system and Google services using a lot of battery and over 130 wake-ups by each. Network location is there under Google services and my GPS etc are left off yet and same with Google now.

Check battery info in settings. Which service has the highest %?

Bump and another update...
After going back to 4.0.4 .195 FW the problem started to occur even on the old ROM and it didn't before switching to JB. But it's not in so big way, but still it occurs and it's really strange. 22h on battery and 58 minutes of smsdispatcher waking the phone. Very annoying.
However I forgot to tell you that I always use GSM only option in settings. And after changing network to WCDMA only there are no wakelocks at all! But it's not comfortable to always use 3G because it drains more battery and there are problems with the signal strength here where I live.
Again the same question - is anyone able to help me?
Problem solved. It was my old SIM card's fault. It was more than 6 years old and I had to manually cut it from mini-SIM to micro-SIM shape. I probably damaged its inside structure or something. I went to my carrier and requested a new SIM card factory cut to a micro-SIM shape and now everything is ok! No strange wakelocks at all!
Hello guys,
I have the follwoing problem. I was on nAa14 with the latest MiniCM, but I started sufferring from massive battery drains from Android System and I decided to go back to stock to see how it handeled.
So I did using SEUS but then the following thing happend. Every time I have data, or Wi-fi on, the battery looses it juice. In a few secounds the phone gives me the 15% message, then 9% then 5% and it turns off.
If I do not touch it (i mean turn the data and wifi off), the phone gives me nearly 2 days battery life with making a fair ammount of calls. I tried a secound time and reinstalled the stock rom via SEUS but there was no change.
Could this be caused by a leftover file from nAa kernel or MiniCM.... Some new driver or... I don't know as I am a potato and a noob
Please help.

Hello!
I know that there were a lot said about battery problems in 4.1.2 android, but i still haven't found any solution on my problem. My Note was bought with GB 2.3.6 and had an awesome battery, but after i updated it to JB 4.1.2 (via Kies), suddenly battery life is catastrophic. I have everything off (bluetooth, wi-fi, gps), my screen brightness is on minimum, i use my phone on GSM band (not 4g), i also disabled some of unused apps, etc...everything said was also my practice on previous version 2.3.6 and phone battery lasts up to 4 days, but now, it drains off in 17hrs and I barely use my phone!
If I check battery stats, it shows that screen is the major consumer of battery and it seems like it is on all the time, although the phone screen is physically off most of the time. It means something causing my phone being awake all the time instead of being off.
Any ideas how to fix this??

4 days? really? think that is unheard of. Either how, it should last longer than 17 hours.
Try going back to factory settings, perhaps theres something running thats divided by zero :silly: .
If you feel adventurous you can also choose to root & try a custom rom. Though thats your responsibility and choice entirely.

Yup 4 days, not kiddin...4 days of average use.
I forgot to mention that i already did the factory reset and i also wipe the cache partition in recovery menu... I disabled practically everything, and i use things when i need, nothing is set on auto, sync or anything. Last night I didn't touch the phone for about 9 hrs and battery consumption was around 1% which is ok, but it's draining everytime i turn on the screen like 5% in 10mins. BBS shows that well known GTALK_ASYNC_CONN as a battery eater. Is it possible to kill this annoying thing on un-rooted phone???
I have reached a point of frustration that I can hardly bear anymore.
If I remember correctly, it all started last year around Halloween when I first tried out NewMaclaw's CM11 port. I was dissatisfied with the unusually high battery drain and soon returned to stock where everything went back to normal for the following months. Due to my banking app requiring at least Android 4.3, I started experimenting with the available ROMs again in April. Since then my battery life has never returned to an acceptable state again. It doesn't matter what ROM I use, I would never make it through the day.
I always blamed it on the custom ROMs because after returning to stock for the first time, the battery life was decent again. Due to the suspicious behavior of my battery lately, like dropping or gaining several percent at once upon connecting or disconnecting the charger, I went back to stock for the second time the other day, to determine once and for all whether there was something faulty about the battery. And I thought I would have confirmed just that when the battery drained just as fast on stock. So naturally I ordered a brand new battery (manufacturing date May 2015), and hoped for satisfaction at last.
But this phone is just merciless and continues to punish me for reasons that completely elude me. The first day on stock after a full charge, the battery lasted for a mere 23 hours on stand by in AIRPLANE MODE!!! WiFi was enabled, but only for being able to receive text messages on surespot. No other push services were installed. After the second full charge, I flashed the latest CM11 and instantly noticed that the crazy draining hadn't changed. As a final act of despair, I did an advanced wipe to delete everything on the phone except the external SD card. Of course the effort was meaningless, I was down to 16% after only 11 hours with a screen on time of 2 1/2 hours. All I did was browsing with Firefox. No video or audio, just common websites. Today I did the same thing after yet another recharge, and lost 20% battery after 45 minutes. I always set the display brightness to minimum by the way.
So if it's not a faulty battery, then what the heck is it that prevents the battery from operating normally?!? I really tried everything in the process - flashing several different ROMs, going back to Stock, disabling the location and wake up features of Google Play Services, buying a new battery. What else can cause such ridiculous battery drain, and why did it not occur before I started flashing?
Hello, have you tried to debug which apps and kernel wakelocks eats most battery? Try to install betterbatterystats: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809. That might give you some hint what eats your battery.
Thanks for replying. I don't think it is any particular app since the drain occurs even while on TWRP and right after flashing before having installed any apps. It is also the same whether I browse the web with Firefox mobile or send and receive messages with surespot which are the apps that I primarily use most of the time. I'll give your battery stats a try anyway.
Basically, for a couple days, my Z3C battery drain graph is a straight line going down at 40 degrees. I'd post a pic, but I can't yet (new member limits).
It used to be mostly flat when the phone wasn't used, but not anymore.
What changed? honestly, nothing! I just woke up and noticed that it went down from 100% to 70% during ~7 hours of my sleep. And it's like that ever since. I'm struggling to use the phone for a full day (used to be 2-3 days). The phone is 8 months old.
WHat I did already:
1. Turning off/uninstalling various apps based on their % impact on battery drain
2. Clearing cache
3. Turning down wifi and internet
4. Factory reset with data backup
5. FULL factory reset without touching anything after it
NOTHING worked
My only theory is that battery became bogus and I have to send it for repairs... which means at least 2-3 weeks without the phone and a questionable result (they may as well not consider it broken at all).
Anyone have any ideas on what to do at this point? I'm getting desperate
I wanted to sell the phone in a couple months to buy the Z6 compact, but I obviously can't sell a phone with a faulty battery... which means I won't have funds for the Z6. Sigh..

And what about changing NOTHING but just turning the airplane mode ON?
edit: I made a mistake, not OFF but ON!
I had the same problem with my Xperia T and the cause was that I cut the SIM card by myself (from mini sim to micro sim) and I accidentally internally damaged the SIM card. The battery drain was TREMENDOUS and the phone was INCREDIBLY hot that time. I didn't know what was the cause and tried literally everything! Only turning on the airplane mode was stopping the battery drain so I thought maybe the SIM card is damaged. And it was! After replacing one, everything went back to normal.
But what I want to say - your case might be different but... just give an airplane mode a try.
If you are from Poland - check your private messages!
Flight mode does nothing. 100% -> 75% overnight.

Yep, like I said in first post, I did factory reset. Twice, in fact.
The phone doesn't eat more battery - with Screen On, it works like it used to, but there is no "screen off" time for battery: the drain seems constant. The phone obviously doesn't go into sleep mode.
Then try Safe Mode in which all 'foreign' apps are not included in the startup procedure.
- push the power button
- long press the Power Off on the screen
- Then a option to restart in safe mode will appear on your screen
- Now you can chack whether your battery drain is a software or hardware problem

Hardware sadly... the battery drain is exactly the same on safe mode+flight mode as with wifi+internet+all apps I have
I still have some months of warranty... should I send it?

I had the same problem with my z3c when I went back home to Cyprus for the holidays. In Germany my battery drain during the night is 5-6% with Wifi on (no Stamina Mode), but when I was in Cyprus my battery drain went to like 40% over night. Bear in mind my phone is completely stock, with some disable apps here and there. I used GSam Battery Monitor to see what was going on and I saw that my Phone Radio was using almost the same % as the screen was. I'm thinking maybe this happened because of the firmware or something, I'm currently using .264 for Germany, but when I bought the phone it came with the Greek firmware, and I changed it to the German one during the Lollipop updates. Maybe if you tried flashing another firmware?
