Don't forget, it's a new install. Everything has been changed, all caches are gone. Your phone needs to rebuild all. This can take a few days up to a week, depending on how much data you have.
Let it settle some time and you will notice that it will get better.
Did I help? Please press the thanks button

Try the turning the the extended standby mode in settings and tell me is it working as I am not sure it working on mind.
Can you tell me when your mobile data and/or wifi is turned on when your display is off for a few minutes, unlock to see if it did turn off mobile data/or wifi then it turn on again automatically please.
I have exactly the same problem on my T. Sometimes with Android System, sometimes with Dialer. Don't know why is this happening as many users don't have any problems at all...
well, u can see at the screen shot the logo up there that i use the extended standby mode..and currently, i dont have any mobile data, and it set off all the time, i only using wifi...but turn off when not using..thats all..

Do you have external SD card? If yes, what's the capacity?

32gb c10...but since i just buy the sd card recently, it just been song and picture, no games for the time being, i expect more battery drain if im playing games...so got a little worried..
If you have many pictures and music (just like me - 32GB class 4 SD) there may be issues with media scanner which is trying to scan (possibly) corrupted files or something like that. It's a known issue with JellyBean where the system tries to scan the SD card and hangs in one place which produces unstoppable wakelock. Try to google that and you will see many users reporting similar issues
Besides mediaserver states for music player. If you turn the music on and turn off the screen there will ALWAYS be a mediaserver wakelock. When you turn the music off, close the music player and turn screen off, mediaserver wakelock will stop.
Is there anyone on this thread can show how the extended standby mode works I lost how it actually works.
I went down to shop and played around with a sony xperia T which has the extended standby mode. Same thing happen when wifi/mobile data turned on waited for a a 1/2/3 minutes and unlocked but same thing happen it was still on so I at how it works plus I looked at and stop few services running in settings/apps.
---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------
I read how the extended standby mode works. I now know I would have wait 15 minutes for it to turn off wifi/mobile data. I thought I only need to wait a minute or two.
Here is the website http://developer.sonymobile.com/2012/10/05/learn-about-extended-standby-mode-sonys-new-power-save-feature-video/
I think I might stick to JuiceDefender Ulimate app as it turned them off automatically.

The story of my short life battery!
I got my Xperia T 3 days ago, and today i put Jelly bean, but right from the beginning, with wifi turned off, data turned off, overnight the battery drains by 30%.
It does not even stay for half a day! I searched around in net, and in Sony forums they say, since the phone is new, it would take time to settle?? Frankly , this is the first phone i am experiencing this issue with, none of the phones i used , ever drained battery with possibly nothing being used within a day!
I was excited of this phone, but now i feel depressed because of this battery issue it has taken me down since i bought it.
I am thinking of replacing the battery, but guys any suggestions from your side, any Apps which can help me tell who is eating away all the battery?BTW it says "Android System" 70% usage!! Is this normal??
Please help.

So did you find any solution? its either we are unlucky to get bad battery units, as others are not facing this issue, or it is really that the battery would take time. Only time will tell for the second one!

do you have mobile data on all time or just when you need???
Me too. Never thought i would get battery backup like this. I got only a day and a half of battery backup max on my old Galaxy Nexus.
Mobile data always ON now, but also have STAMINA mode activated which cuts off mobile data while screen is off. Also Wifi is automatically deactivated when i leave home and turns on when am back!
Here's my battery backup. Heavy day and I was on the road from morning to evening.

Standby Loss?
My experience with the battery has been mixed.
The standby time is great. But sometimes i experience abrupt drop in battery level (about 4%) while idling and no background apps, data,bluetooth, wifi all off.
Also, can someone please tell the standard battery loss for following scenarios (in % loss per hour or other time intervals)
1. While using Mobile Data (not WiFi) and browsing on Chrome ( I lose 17-20% battery per hour)
2. Sleeping with STAMINA MODE on. (i lose 3-4% in 6-8 hours overnight)
Any replies or help is appreciated.
What kind of sorcery is this??!! :silly:
GREAT!! :good:
Thought I should update once more.. This time I have more voice calls than screen on time.
Using Opera instead of Chrome, I have seen far less battery usage and also memory usage.
It's better battery life than GNexus for sure. but playing game really drain up the juice
Usually using Calls, SMS, Internet (Jasmine, Twitter, YouTube, Opera) via 3G and Wi-Fi, listening music via BT PowerAmp -
Gaming RealRacing 3 from 96% to 28% -
Good Battery i think.

I just bought the xperia ZR. I haad sgs2 and I was very please with that phone. Recived OTA 4.2.2 as I turned on the phone. Updated.
Screen, design and UI responsivness is just top of the notch.
Camera in low light envirioments is poor, pics are full of noise... You have to play a lot with the settings to get a decent pics. I heard that is a software problem... Well... I hope they fix it soon cause is worst than sgs2 pics which has less MPixl.
Question about stamina mode. I turned on but I do not see it working... Please spare me lessons on how it supposed to work. I do know that. When I turn on the display the H o 3G icon is there as the networks never been shutted. I still receving FB whatssapp notification, and i didn't put any app in the allowed list.
I read that many other guys experienced this sort of problem after updating to 4.2.2
Any suggestions? Is yours working well? So u have always the network logo?
By the way yesterday was first day without stamina the battery hit 13 hrs with 1hrs call and 3hrs screen on. Not bad I might say. But I cant get 1 or 2 days as guys with stamina did....
has anyone tried the mugen power batteries yet? I watched the video showcasing the 4600mah battery and it kinda looks like they doubled the thickness with the new case? I don't think i would want my phone to be that thick so can anyone who has it post comparison pictures, or at least testimonials about the 4600mah and 2500mah ones.
Glitches in Battery Status

I haven't updated to 4.2.2 yet, but I have sudden battery drops (4-8%) with 4.1 JB on C5502. It usually happens when battery is below 40%.
These drops have happened more than 20 times in last 2 months.
I was hoping that this issue will be fixed in 4.2 update?

You have updated to 4.2.2
Could you please tell me the size of the update by PC companion? Is it like the FTF( 700MB) or OTA update (200MB).

Hey guys! Sorry to bother you (Again) but I have some serious issues with my battery. First; My phone won't go to deep sleep, Second; When using phone, I think my cpu is locked in 200mhz.
I have same problem pretty much with every rom. And I know that people will say check wakelocks etc. but I don't understand that stuffand I'd like to learn.
Because of those problems my battery won't last more than 8 hours! Which is really bad
Please help! Thanks!

When I install the various .cab files that mamaich and others have posted to the wiki they install to the standard 60.30mb "storage" memory and not to the 123.15mb "program" memory.
Is this correct? or is there a way to install them to the Program Memory?

U just answered urself. Download wakelock checkers in playstore. Or just flash a rom and dun download anything. Then install a few per day and narrow down the app.

Give a thank if i helped you.
i have the same problem since i've updated to android 4.3 (officially, no root).
Since the update, my phone doesn't go into deep sleep at all because of the wakelock mdm_hsic_pm0
Does anyone know what that could be? No wifi/wlan, no gps, LTE is working 95 % of the time in my area and theres no other wakelock like fast_dormancy that keeps my phone awake.
I've tried to close almost every app in the manager, from google play services to the dropbox app, everything.
The wakelock still shows and keeps my phone alive all the time: goes from 100 % to 25 % at night - 9 h without touching the phone.
In 2 Weeks it happened to me two times that the wakelock dissappeared without me knowing what i possibly did to remove it.
It also happened two or three times that the battery didnt charge until i tried another charger - then the old one worked again too.
Got the same problem right now... This mdm_hsic_pm0 does not my phone to go to deep sleep...

in my case,it is indeed the media server that drains a lot.is there no was to disable that service/the drain without pulling out the additional sdcard?
it shouldn`t act like a media server,it is only there for storage :cyclops:
Did anyone find a solution?
I am also suffering from mdm_hsic_pm0 wakelocks keeping my phone awake 95% of the time. (Which results in about 8% battery drain per hour.)
Media server does not show up.
Read somewhere formatting yur extsd might help. Might be wrong though. No harm trying. Backup all contents before formatting extsd.

Its been almost a year now since I've had this phone. Recently, my phone has been restarting/switching off by itself....once it turns off, it won't turn back on again unless I plug in the charger. If I try holding on to the power button once it happens, the "S3 mini logo" just keeps showing up and switches back off again. I even did a factory reset and still it didn't fix the problem. Even when I try going through my phone (reading messages, going through settings, opening an app), it'll just automatically have the problem again and switch off again. One time I kept my phone on sleep mode for about 5 hours, and after that I just wanted to make a phone call and again it just turned off.. please any help would be appreciated..
in the morning around 7 when I unplug my charger batt is on 100%
10 min of browsing on wifi it goes to 85%.
It holds on 85% from 8-11 AM
Then I turn mobile data on, browse for about 20 sek and it crashes.
Keeps on restarting and batt is on 0%
I connect the charger batt is on 56% in couple minutes, and stays there till 6 PM
Around 6PM I turn wifi on, browse 20sec and it goes down again.
Not turning on until I connect charger.
When I connect charger it is again on 60%.
how to solve it ????

just wanted to make sure if it is a firmware or battery, now i can confirm it and say that it was a battery problem for anyone that has the same problem.
I had the exact same problem and today I put in a brand new battery, I waited for it to drain then I charged and calibrated it when it got to 100%.
After 40min of Internet browsing 25% had drained!
I am waiting for it just to turn off of it's own accord pretty soon.
Update: phone appeared to be okay, although I thought the battery was being used up fairly fast.
Today while charging the phone the battery was at 80% and during a conversation on the phone, it switched off of it's own accord. I then had to power back up the phone.
So I do think there is something up with it.
Any ideas folks?
The phone is really starting to annoy me and because I rooted it I will have to bring it back to stock before I attempt to bring it back to the shop for repair. But that is the last thing I wanted to do.
Cheers
Well after a week now and the phone is still losing juice rapid.
Sometimes it will charge well and I would get half a day or of it. And on other occasions it just shuts down after being left charging all night.
This is after a brand new battery has been installed!

you´re device isn´t rooted, so you can´t use xposed.
lots of apps works in background on stockROM like yours.
So root your device and battery drain will be better.
How to do that?

It is rooted. This problem started two weeks ago. I was gonna put it back to stock so I flashed this rom. Otherwise if I bring it back to the shop they will not look at it if it had been rooted.
I just ran root checker and it is still rooted
---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------
My phone has been previously rooted for the past 8 months, no problems at all.
Then out of the blue two weeks ago the battery went crazy, I bought a battery and it is still not good. If I can't find a solution I will then have to revert the phone to stock before I bring it back to the shop as rooting voids the warranty.
Thanks

I am getting about 5 hours sot with mostly wifi, intermittent lte, auto brightness and no amplify/greenery. I think it is better.
Personally...my battery was almost dead after only 8 hours runtime this morning. I'm wondering if there is an issue with the newly installed 6.0 or if something else is out of whack.

Try wiping cache also.
In preparation to 6.0 I also did a system restore. But before i backed up the phone to my sd card I wiped cache under settings., storage and tapped cashe and wipped then i backed up, did system restore then restored everything from the sd card. My cache was about 1.5 gig now 2 days later its 360MB. Well in all my battery is lasting 16+ again on lollipop 5.1.
Battery life on standby seems improved. I used to lose around 15% overnight, but now it's closer to 5%. I did a full wipe when flashing.

This is the only place I've noticed any change in battery drain. In regular usage, I find it is pretty much the same as before. I ended up putting amplify back in place to get the life out of it that I was getting before.
I can tell you that battery usage is about the same but when doze kicks in.. Oh man..it's a miracle. I know it works because when I wake in the morning to turn it on for the first time, notification pours in.
