Helllo, I recently bought my Xperia SP. I really like this phone. I didn't have any problem (wifi). From the first time I bought my phone, I noticed that my battery is draining too fast. I loose every night about 20% battery. Data and wifi are closed and STAMINA mode is turned on. Do you have any solution about this problem? Sorry for my English and Thanks in advance!!
A few people have complained about this, but for me, with stamina on, standby battery life is superb.
Wakelock detector is available in the Play store - this is a useful tool for seeing what's happening to your phone when the screen is off. With WiFi and data on and the screen off, my phone is only awake 6% of the time and it's mostly Facebook (terrible app) doing things.
With the screen off I might only drop 1 or 2% whilst I'm asleep.

Switch to GSM only.
Besides that it seems that an enabled Google Now is leeching a lot of battery too.

Try to install BetterBatteryStats and make a dump. Then attach log file into this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809). I hope developer can help you
Try looking in the sp forums for a solution or same thread. This sp forum is getting flooded with the same topic!

1. What ROM (stock?) do u use?
2. What firmware?
3. What baseband?
4. What kernel?
Give us a lil info about what u have in your hands :fingers-crossed:
Well now I unistalled facebook. I'm using stock rom with the latest firmware (.245), without root. I don't have enough apps. Only facebook/twitter and some games. I installed wakelock detector and i saw that facebook is doing the most battery usage.
me either, this sucks, i did a factory reset 2 days ago, at first it was fixed,
but then the wakelocks came back next day, it's the superstamina-xssm again, also with the most alarm

I wonder why u all facing the battery problem...
I'm using C5303 in latest firmware, no root, STAMINA mode off
my off screen battery consume only some internet connection apps if connected to Internet....
And if I sleep usually I will turn on airplane mode, so maybe whole only 1-2% of battery is been taken
I don't know what happening. my battery is draining so fast. With stamina mode on and everything ese closed I usually loose 15-20%!!! I disables Facebok app but nothing, Battery is still draining!

have you done any changes in the wifi setting stated in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2378862
i have also made the changes and after that the battery drains like hell
No I didnt done any changes to wifi settings because I didn't have any problem with my Wifi!! I just clean cache on Eco Mode and I will see how battery is going!
i had peretty gud battery life , about 6-7 hrs of sot with wifi on all the day and lots of whatsapping . but now somehow suddenly stamina mod stopped working and getting lots of awake by whatsapp even it is greenified
Same problem here
Xperia SP battery backup is fine when i am using it. But when everything is off and stamina is on at night, i usually lose about 25% of my battery with cellular on overnight !!! But in airplane mode, stamina mode works fine. Only 0%-1% battery drain overnight. I didn't exclude anything in stamina mode. And i always keep my mobile data, wifi off when sleeping. I also checked battery stat but nothing is out of ordinary. But i think cell standby is consuming the power as everything is normal in airplane mode. But why do this happens to me when so many others are fine with cellular on? And the question is, how do i decrease the excess battery consumption by cellular mode when cellular mode is on and mobile data is off? It doesn't make any sense. Any solution for this weird problem? Help me please, this thing is driving me crazy. It takes more then an hour to charge 25% I am not rooted, bootloader locked, completely stock .205 and i have tried flashing and restoring via sus but nothing works. I even formated my internal memory and sd card I am using Xperia SP for about 10 months and stamina mode never worked for me :crying:

Alright i have sorted it out kinda... When um using settings -> GSM/WCDMA, the cell standby keeps draining battery. But when i select GSM only, the battery doesn't drain, lost only 2% over night with stamina on. But i ask this, how the hell am i supposed to use 3G data when the GSM only setting is selected ? Also another thing, the phone is intended for USA market(the customization is customized US). I bought it from Bangladesh and using in Bangladesh. Does this battery drain has to do anything with different Baseband version maybe ? I don't really know anything about baseband and stuff, just a guess. Anyone can help me in this matter ? Shall i flash an Generic INDIA rom ? Because Bangladesh is located besides India...
I have the same problem, maybe its a wrong baseband?

So I need to know can I flash only baseband from 4.1 ftf over 4.3? Because this problem is never exsisted in JB 4.1. :good:

My question exactly. Look at my post (up). My XSP is made for usa market and i am using it in Bangladesh. Maybe that is what causing the battery drain when i use WCDMA/GSM and WCDMA only. But in GSM only, battery life is fine. Not even a single percent battery drain over night. Very huge difference. Now i am downloading a generic indian .ftf to check if it is because of different intended market or not... I will let you know as soon as i am done checking...

I think you can do it as soon as the both rom(4.1 and 4.3) are intended for the same market as the one you are using right now... Because they both will have the same baseband i think. But then, it would make no sense to flash the same baseband. I am not sure though. I am not a developer. You better check with some expert before messing around with baseband....
Yeah, im using an european modded rom on a latinamerican country. Will try New baseband as soon as i have some spare time
I understand how it works. But since i dont have any apps installed cause its a new phone, will stamina mode have an impact in my battery life? I tested it and no significant differences in screen off. Its the same one hour 1 percent with or without stamina mode.. The only time i get significant battery improvement is when i disabled google play services.
It also works for disabling the mobile data traffic while the screen is off, resulting in less power consumption and less costs.

It's not important do you have apps or not - I'm using it without any exception (rules in stamina mode), only to disable mobile data and wifi when my screen is off and my battery is very happy because stamina MOD.
It'll still upload/download your files or to be precise - it'll finish to up/dl file if you lock screen in the middle of dl/up process and that great.
The thing is, many apps (stock/system apps) are using network to check for updates (email, XDA, tapatalk....) and this MOD prevent that and saves battery life.

new phone or no app are not important

after few days stamina learn from How u use ur phone.
then u will get *4 standby time when turn it on.
so let it to learn from u.
(u can find more about stamina mod in Xperia Z forums cause that was first time of it and thr s lots of thread about it.)

If i may ask a question regarding the stamina mode, i use it all the time and i see major improvement for battery, but i'm wondering since i use Greenify as well, is it worth to use them at the same time or do i need only one of them?

Stamina Mod is enough for power-saving
and cause it s official from Xperia it can work properly and better than another 3rd-party apps with ur device.
and also there s snapdragon guru for snapdragon powered devices official from Qualcomm

I agree... mostly - i think using Greenify too will save a little more energy, because it will terminate the app completely and not just it's data/wifi connection.
Or am i totally wrong?
Stamina mode is all u need.. It terminates the apps and data

I never use NFC and I'm sure it's off, but for some reason in battery it's shown to drain a lot of the battery
my phone is rooted btw

If you never use it, try freezing the service, see if that helps. Because even when (never) I use NFC it never uses that many resources. Or just restart your phone if you didn't already.
Look under settings/more and see if it's off.
Hey guys, I am running stock 4.0.3 rooted with supersu and using the latest franco kernel. I am getting massive drains even while using the phone on wifi and keeping it on standby, while connected to wifi. Getting drains about 3.3-4% per hour on standby on wifi. This is absolutely crazy. I tried some older suggestions mentioned here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62074306&postcount=118 . But even that doesn't work. Battery drain is normal on mobile data, but when connected to wifi it absolutely goes crazy. Can anyone provide any insight? There are no rogue apps, I have been checking through better battery , wld , accu battery, etc.
You've probably already turned it off, but I'll just point it out in the rare instance, but make sure scanning is off. However, I did notice that you said it is when wifi is on and your phone is sleeping when you get that drain. A fix is to go into wifi settings and under "Keep Wi-fi on during sleep", pick the only plugged in option. Ideally, you should get to the bottom of this issue, but if you don't have the time and no one else figures it out, this may help.
EDIT: I wonder if smart wifi switcher has anything to do with it? Wifi connectivity fluctuates and if you have two connections that have very similar signal strength, would your phone constantly switch between the two networks in a futile manner? If this does happen, I can see that draining your battery significantly, but this is based on the premise that the switcher does not have some type of buffer zone where it does not switch if the difference is negligible.

Yep, I always keep scanning off! And i did try with that suggestion too, I changed the setting to never and it still drained battery. Wifi stayed on for sometime even though i set it to never and then finally turns off after a period of time, but i think that could potentially drain more battery? Are you using wifi all the time? What are your stats?
I have all those settings turned off, smart switcher, ipv6, scanning, etc

Last thing I can think of is trying to use stock kernel to see if it is FK that is the culprit. FK shouldn't be the issue, but perhaps something screwed up during the flashing process? Now I'm essentially just asking you to do trial and error

Note that I'm in Beta 3 and running its stock kernel so I don't really see the usefulness of giving my battery stats, but yes, battery life for me has been good and unaffected by wifi draining.

It's most likely not just you, but based on my perusal of the 3T forums (especially on the FK thread because that's most relevant to how you set up your phone), not many people are facing this issue. Does betterbattery stats not show anything funky or out of the ordinary? Can you post a screenshot of your betterybattery stats including the kernel wakelocks, alarms, and partial wakelocks page?

I'm beginning to think it's not wifi, but the app Saavn. It may act differently when on wifi vs on cellular data and remain active constantly when on wifi. I google searched the app and its potential of being poorly optimized app, and there are reports of it never turning off and running in the background. If that is the case, it should be showing up on BBS as more of a drain, but for some reason it isn't. Still, try uninstalling the app and see what happens.
In the end, if this doesn't solve the issue, I'm beginning to think a factory reset maybe in order. I wish you also gave me BBS alarm wakeups page because that would help see if Saavn is constantly firing off alarms or not.
Go to your "Location settings" and into the 3 dot menu in upper right. Turn everything off.
do you have wifi calling on? turn it off and see

I don't have any option to turn off wifi calling in there. I am running the beta 7.1.1 now though. But the problem still persists. Too much drain when using wifi, it's being shown as android system drain. I've seen many people reporting it, so it's not just me. But for the life of me, I can't figure out what's causing it!
Issue resolved with latest 4.1.0 and some usage pattern changes. Mod, please close the thread. Thank you!
Hi, when I'm at work, it happens that the mid 9 becomes hot and the battery runs out quickly. Then without doing anything it comes back to normal. Have you ever had this problem?
Many thx.

The same thing(...
hi all, i tried to figure out this problem.
I notice first that the problem doesn't occured at home where i have great battery life. I decide to install BBS and see what happened.
i discovered that at work, when phone become hot and have battery drain fast, in BBS, i have a kernel wakelock named 1-0028 that keep phone awake.
with all my search , it seems that the wifi at my work is the cause. try to stay on LTE and have no battery drain at all.
Don't know why but if you have that problem, don't use wifi if possible and stay on mobile data.
If anybody know if there is setting on mobile or on wifi , share it
Maybe its the wifi trying yo look to networks to connect to, have u hot it on
