[Q] Sedio 3500 mah problem?

I think there is a problem with my 3500 mah battery from sedio. I have had it for a few months now and it really wasnt what i expected. I had heard people who have had 2-3 days + battery life from one charge when i cant even get 24 hours on a single charge with out playing a game or using gps. Im running sky raiders 3.5 right now.
Is that bad? Should i try and get in contact with sedio? Any other tips.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
For example today:
13hrs since unplugged. 29%
awake 4.5 hours
That sucks right?

That is pretty bad. I'm at 12 hrs 50 mins since unplugged, 3 hrs 15 mins screen on, on stock battery. What kernel do you have?

I have to admit i am pretty new to all this stuff, just a couple of months in so i wouldnt know how to change my kernal but im sure i could figure it out if i had to.
Heres what i got:

There are all kinds of things you can do to extend your battery life but by far the simplest is to turn your screen down to quarter brightness and turn off the auto adjustment.

You need to reset your battery.
Step 1
charge the phone while turned off till the light turns green. Unplug but do not turn on then after about twenty or so seconds plug it back in and the light will be Orange again wait till its green.
Step 2
Once the charge light is green for a second time boot the phone into cwm and clear battery status. Make sure phone is still plugged in
Step 3
After you clear the batter status reboot the phone making sure that you do not unplug it . as soon as you're able to open up your app drawer once the phone has rebooted then unplug it.
Step 4
Do not charge your phone again until the battery dies and the phone shuts off.
After this you are done

For the longest time I was convinced the eBay-generic 3500mAH that came with the phone when I bought it online was faulty because it seemed I was getting identical results from my stock battery even after wiping battery stats. But now after running the battery for a week or so continuously and not swapping out to the stock battery it seems to yield much better life now that I calibrated the phone to this battery and left it in for a while.

Just got my Xperia Z, and...

I just bought an Xperia Z phone and tablet yesterday and was pretty exited about it! It works really well, I love the design work and, yeah its just great. Only thing is, the battery is killing me, here's why:
I woke up this morning and unplugged my phone from the charger, it was at 100% of course. I sat down in my couch, checked Facebook and some News websites. Literally 8-10 minutes later, my battery percentage is 91%... 91%!!!!
My brightness is at ~40% no running apps in the background, no live wallpaper, WiFi on, latest Android update.
Is this normal? I was used to my Galaxy S2 lasting a lot longer, and I know I can't compare the two batteries and phones, but if this problem persists, this would mean I wouldn't be able to use my phone for apps and whatnot for more than 1h20m without having to charge it.
I got it yesterday, turned it on and configured the phone without it being in the charger, it was on ~50% when I turned it on and when it reached like ~20% I plugged it in the charger, I don't know if this could have damaged the battery, should I've plugged it in the charger right away? I am saying this because I remember on old cellphones (not smartphones) to get the best from the battery you had to charge it non-stop for like 20h or so.
Sigh, this is a bit frustrating. My Xperia Tablet Z has a great battery btw., absolutely no problem there.

The Xperia Z phone has screen time of 4hrs or so. It's primarily because of the 5 inch 1080p screen which consumes a lot more battery. I have owned my Z for two months and I get a day out of it with 30% battery by the time I hit the sack. For me it lasts 15 hrs or more.

how can people stand 40% brightness? its like killing my eyes.
i do 0% brightness with auto on. saves me alot of battery.

Do comment only after giving the battery multiple charge cycles. If the same problem persist after 2 weeks, yes you probably need to check what is sucking up the battery.
Do take a look at the graph under "Settings" -> "Power Management" -> "Battery" to take a look at what is the highest consumer.

Ok I will give it some time, but it doesn't look good.
I've lowered my brightness to 0% and the power mgmt tells me that the screen is using up 40% battery, I don't get it..

It means out of all the battery power used, 40% of the time the screen was active and consuming power... I think

Try these
I used to complain like u did at the beginning, but i tried doing these things and it really improved my battery performance....
1- 1st of all it will get better after a week of charging discharging cycles
2- I uninstalled moxier pro
3- Deactivated google now
4- Disable bravia engine 2
5- Disable google chrome and use another browser (boat browser is really awesome and it supports flash)
6- Disable access to my location from location services and activate it only when u need it
if u do these things u will have marvelous battery improvements!!

It actually means of all the drain, the screen accounted for 40% of it.

[Q] Weird status about battery

Guys. I had a very big problem here. My phone is just off the charger for about 10 min but the battery drops to 97% already. And I checked with the stamina mode which the battery only last for 18 hour and standby time only less then 2 days. Any idea about this? and any way to fix?
Thx.

How long have you owned the unit? I found mine needed a few charge cycles to become more stable.
One strange thing I have noticed is that whilst charging the notification light turns green at 90% for some reason, has anyone else noticed this?

Hi homer285. thanks for your reply. I had it for about a week only. So is it better I make some cycle charge for it to make it back to normal?
Thx.

that is normal for all Sony devices.
90% to 100% is green. below 90 is orange. and below 10 or something is red.

for the first part, the battery dropping so quickly, can you provide another screenshot for the battery and the apps working, to see which app consumed more battery. I usually charge my phone before going to sleep and after waking up ~9 hours later the battery drops from 100-96%.

For the second part, this is normal. the estimated battery gives indication depending on your usage (so yours will be different than mine). while standby is where your phone is not being used and thats why it is longer although it is quite little, my phone at 62% and says 3 days and 2 hours in standby mode.
if I didn't answer your question, please explain further but other screenshots would help as well, thx

I noticed this when charging mye phone the last time too. Maybe it is not quite calibrated yet? I did charge to 100% then totally drained it though, after charging it the first time out of the box.

Hi ahomad
Thx for ur reply. Attached is the photo of my battery usage for this morning.
I do understand what they mean but for the first few day usage my stamina standby time is up to 3-4days, just don't know what happen it dropped for used about a week.
And is it just the normal status or is it better to make some calibration for battery. If so, what is the best way to do that.
Thx.

you might have been playing games heavily (assuming the second app using most power is a game) thus the estimation was lowered as the phone assumed you will play more games in the coming days.
But from the picture you attached, you do have quite good battery as you were playing heavy game for 40 mins while having LTE on yet the battery dropped 9% which is really good
just ignore what the phone is telling as long as you don't see real world weakness of the battery performance. these estimates are never real just to give an indication

[Q] Battery problem?

Hello,
I have an unlocked HTC One and I think I have some problems with the battery. For example, in the morning when I unplug it from charging and it's 100%, if I use it for like 5 minutes then the battery will drop by 6-7% and I don't think that's normal.
Then I was not at home today and I had like 19% and I decided to power it off. Then I turned it on after like 10 minutes, I had 7% left. I left it on for 10-15 minutes without using and it dropped to 2%. I turned it off again and then I turned it back on after like 5 minutes and it had 6%.
What is going on? Should I do a clean install of the software? I'm using ViperOne 6.2.1.
Thank you!

might be some app that is draining your battery, to confirm with gsam battery monitor. Maybe a rom/kernel issue or a bad battery....

Alright so I've done what the guy advised here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765655
Apparently it fixed some of the problems but I still fail to understand this thing: so last night I had 73% battery left. I turned off the phone and then turned it back on after 5 minutes, I had 68% battery left. Why is this?
Also, sometimes the battery level shown while the phone is on does not coincide with the battery level shown in Recovery TWRP. Why is that and what can be done about it?
Thank you!

There is no way to know precisely what proportion of total charge is in a battery, it can only be estimated. Temperature, current drain, and many other factors affect the estimate. I think you're expecting too much.

[Q] Phone shuts off to 0% when used for over 30minutes (hot)

I have no complains with the speed of my z1 and its reliability. But after awhile (i have been using my phone for 1 year and 4 months now and no complain until now), my phone shuts off to 0% right after usign it for almost 30 minutes of extensive use (playing summoners war/family guy). But from the past yr i have no problem even if its too hot and drains the way it normally should, not until now. it is really annoying. It drains pretty bad from 100% to 70% then 30% to 13% then shutsoff . It still drains even when on sleep right after usign it for 30minutes. For example, playing for like 30 minutes, the battery will turn from 100% to 72% . Then after awhile on sleep for 30 minutes, the battery will be turn to 40-50% then the rest of the history will follow....
Not recently, i have noticed that waiting for my phone to cool off after it shuts off , will have it again another 50% of its life when u turn the power on again.
Before, i charge my phone for like 3 hours , now 1 hour and its full. :/ U Can really see the fault around here.
What to do ?
I have tried using Battery Calibration, Set CPU - all did not work.
This manifested after 2 months now.
Is my battery at fault?
what can i do?
Do i need to use another stock like CM12?
My phone is up to date.
Please i need ur help so badly. Any replies or same situations will help me .

Obviously your battery is at fault.
You battery must have expanded and this will go ON
See at the back of your device where is battery is located. It may have been little changed shape .I.e not flat surface little bugled
Go to service centre ASAP
