Tip - charging in flight mode - XPERIA X10 General

Hola amigos
im alejo from colombia, some weeks ago i got my X10, i used to charge my phone at night with 3G on, wi-fi off, and in the mornings my battery was at 89% - 90% of charge, we all know these phones cannot be turned off while charging, so yesterday i tried to charge my mobile in flight mode which disables reception and wi-fi as well and guess what, in the morning my battery was at 98%
also in this way the phone charges a little bit faster than usual

Hi.
Just turn of your data connection, same result.

I don't know, but I actually never woke up to the phone charge less than 100% with the cellphone in classic standby without anything disabled. Maybe I'm special, hehe

Dont forget, after stayin on charge after a while the x10 begins to discharge, simply reconnect the charger, and enjoy

hello im from colombia too, if you want you can callme or sendme a pm,

I don't understand.. most of the times it's @ 100% when I wake up..!

It stops charging at 100% to not brake the battery and resumes charging when dropping below 90%

^ ^ ^ what he said!!
You are probably sleeping for either too long or not enough
Seriously though, you may be removing the phone each day in part of its decharge cycle. You might find that if you removed it an hour earlier or later that it would be 100%
i seem to get mine every day right on 100% so i guess im getting just the right amount of sleep

Charge before going to bed? Hehehe..
Usually i will charge my phone through comp's usb at my workplace, not charging it during sleeping hours so far. And always see it will charging fully at 100%. Maybe your usb cable to be blame? 3rd party usb cable? Happen once to me, it stop charging at 90% when charging it using other generic cheap micro usb cable as i forgot to bring home my usb cable.

Is your phone from Comcel? If so, debrand it, and install 026 and you will notice a great improvement in battery life. Stock rom last just 1 day charge, with 026 i've been using the phone for 3 days sometimes without plugin it.
Hope it helps.

Newer ROM, improved battery life, faster phone, gtalk...
Note that debrand is not the same as root. If you are afraid to root, you dont have to worry, because its a clean process. And upgrades will work just fine.

A lot of phones have overcharge protection. The most common is a simple algorithm where the device hits 100% charge and stops charging, then as the device discharges and hits a lower level threshold (90%-95% or whatever the manufacturer decided on) then charging is started again. This helps preserve the life of the battery.
Maybe when you see it below 100% it is because it is either discharging or just hit the lower threshold and is back on its way up.

Phone battery drains quickly

Recently I've noticed my phone dropping percentages within minutes, I've been on my phone for about 30 min just moderately surfing the web and it has dropped almost 30 percent. I tried juice defender, although it seemed it
worked somewhat it was really messing with my data connection. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

As of right now I'm just rooted with the update.zip, I did lag fix but unlag fixed shortly after. Didn't have this problem when I was stock battery actually listed a good amount time.
There are bugs with the displayed battery % not being accurate. Especially if you power down the phone while it's charging.
My Vibrant just eats battery by the minute... I am honestly not sure what is going on. IT's 2.30pm and I barely used the phone and it's down to 53% now from 9am.
What can I do to fix this? I have rooted and installed lag fix from this link
I had the same issue before applying ryanza one click lash fix. My battery now lasts aboutlag 2 days. Which lag fix did you apply ?

I know this doesn't help... but my phone is stock and with normal battery management practices I'm not having any real problems... However, I'm really used to my blackberry which could be left on forever without using any battery at all.

Yea compared to my last two smartphones, the vibrant battery life is no worse. It's definitely better than the n900. But no smart phone's battery life has compared to my blackberry's I used to use.

Fix permissions via recovery! Drain your battery till power down and recharge it fully while off if possible.

I had this issue. Turns out my battery had swollen due to over heating. Excessive use while on the charger. In the end, it would take 7 hours to charge 80%. Hence why it was on the charger.
Doesn't sound like you have the same issue. But of you start experiencing charging issue coupled with rapid draining get the barry replaced. No issues anymore.

Odd battery-Not your usual drainage :D

Hey guys,I have seen some things with my GS2's battery that aren't exactly what you'd call normal.Let me explain:
Today,I plugged my phone it at about 45% battery for some minutes(I was gonna be away from home for a long time,so I wanted some extra unneeded juice) and unplugged it just before I left the house at 58%.I was en route to the bus station when I checked the time(I was late as always! ) to see I had 59% battery.After some twenty minutes,when I reached my destination,I took my phone out of my pocket to make a call just to see that my battery was at 61%! After that all was normal.
This was the third time I experienced something like that.First time was more impressive.I went to the cinema with 38% battery and left with 50%!All without plugging the phone anywhere!
Now,I know I shouldn't be complaining about something like that,but something must be wrong here.If everything wrong was like that I'd be a happier man,but just sayin'.
Any ideas?Or is my phone unique in that aspect?
Sounds like bad calibration to me. Let the battery drain till the phone turns itself off, then charge it (while off) till full.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk app.
Definitely calibration problems here. The screenshot below explains what happened with my SGS2. This was the first charge out of the box. Plugged it in and at first, the charge went up steadily. Then, BOOM, 100%. Disconnected charger, and after some time noticed phone was off - battery was at 0% in under 2 minutes.
It's OK now. I'm getting 2+ days of use on a single charge.
same here. my battery-percentage also raised once while using the unplugged phone. then I turned it off and charged it. since then everything is fine.
Too bad.I thought I was like the guy from Infamous or something!
Thanks for your replies guys.Will callibrate and report.Although the Android OS drainage persists still...

Battery only charges when phone is off

suddenly the battery only charges when the phone is off. It sometimes charges extremly slow when I turn off everything and leave it, but usually it won't until I turn it off. The battery also depletes extremely fast without any usage. Does anybody know what that is?
Nobody has an idea?
I had this problem - it seemed to be something SetCPU was doing. I uninstalled and reinstalled it and the problem went away.
Is this an app? I haven't installed it.
No idea? Would a factory reset help? I have an unrooted device with 2.3.3.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2
It seems to charge now, but extremely slow, about 1%

Cell standby is sucking up the most, 38%. Also it says battery life left is 1h 48 m, even though it's 47% charged.

R800x 2.3.3. battery life absolutely deathly

Okay so I posted here a week or so ago about how my Xperia Play was epicly failing....it was force closing everything and dying in just hours.
So I factory reset and used Titanium to restore all of my apps and stuff...and so far the crawling speed/force closing has for the most part abated (opening up texts and contacts still sometimes takes forever or force closes)
but the battery issue remains. My battery is absolute garbage at the moment. It drains by 10 percent per half hour if being used or even more!! And it gets hot constantly, and obviously at that time it really sheds the power and dies quickly.
If I'm CHARGING the phone WHILE using it heavily, it WON'T power ABOVE the % it started at!! It stays constant or goes down!!
I'm not sure what to do. Should I let the phone die, keep it off, and charge it while off till its 100%?
Or maybe my phone is approaching the situation it was a week ago...I constantly check the running apps and its the usual suspects, nothing crazy. I had to delete official facebook app because it almost ALWAYS lagged and oftentimes force closed.
It says cell standby is using 40%, wi-fi using about 22%, voice calls 17%, phone idle 15%, and dialer 14%
What happened to my phone? Why is it such a clusterf*ck lately? Any ideas/advice?
Are you leaving wifi on because that will really suck the battery down? Also do you live in an area with bad signal? Put it in airplane mode and see if the battery still discharges as fast.

My r800x dies in 6 hours whether it's on airplane mode or not. I've re calibrated the battery like 5 times so far, and it just won't get better. I'm regretting moving to verizon to this. I should just get a sim card and go back to my HTC Inspire. I can leave the r800x in idle with the screen off, while in airplane mode and it will still die in 6 hours. It doesn't even last a whole day of work. Mine's also rooted. I need some serious help with this phone.
Turn off wifi.
If you have it on it will search for wifi networks all of the time (unless you're home and connected to your own wifi) and it will suck your battery dry.
I don't even use wifi. I don't have access to the router at home, and my data is turned off when I'm not using it.
Perhaps you have a bad battery? Maybe replacing that will solve the issue.
It could be. Every time I try to check my battery's health, no matter what app I use, or even if I do it from the service menu it reads at "unknown". One app says that my phone doesn't even have a battery stat service, or something along those lines. I was considering just buying one of those mugen batteries for my phone, considering that I brought the issue to verizon's attention, and they told me they were gonna send me a replacement battery, but I never got it. This was all about 2 months ago though.
wow, sounds bad. mine will last all day, its an r800x on 2.3.3 as well but i can use it like normal, play about a hour of games on it, talk on it a lot, use wifi and 3g and do some average surfing and it will last at least 24-30 hours...
i'm thinking it must be a bad battery as well
Im running 2.3.3 verizon from the FTF and my r800x would last almost 3days, and thats with texting/talking/surfing using 3g and playing a shyt load of sonic . I would replace the battery with a genuine Sony replacement, dont ever buy a ebay knock off ! Furthermore, I don't believe apps that check your battery health are accurate at all, so dont waste your time.
Best way to check (imo) - Before you charge it up, let it go to 0% and die. Boot recovery and wipe the battery stats, turn the phone on and charge to full. After its fully charged, let it sit 10-15 mins on charge. Then pull of the charge and use normally, if it still dies fast, replace the battery.
If this idea was already posted sorry for double post

I swapped mine out for similar issues. The replacement doesn't have the same issues yet but I haven't put a single app on it. I can't say that adding apps caused it before because I remember it similarly not getting anywhere when charging while using. I also experienced it dropping while charging but it turned out to be a that the MTP device wasn't starting on the PC so it showed as plugged in and charging even though it wasn't (check the Device Manager). My Alienware M11x actually supports charging devices off that particular USB port when it is turned off so it was a bit hard to figure out when it seemed to charge some times and not others.
So I got a new battery. Battery life oz still terrible, phone still can't detect battery health.
Not sure why, but my battery voltages are higher than 3.6 :/
Sent from my R800x using XDA App
Hate to tell you but it sounds like your Play is defective.
The only way it would always get hot like that is if it was always running, that would be mainly driven by being in a REALLY bad service area that its always searching. I have a boatload of games etc on mine and my battery life varies from 2 days to 3/4 of a day depending where I am. Heck my battery life varies as to whether I leave my phone on my desk at work or on the shelf above me (lasts longer on the shelf).
But the fact you said that even in airplane mode it eats the battery, and a new battery didn't do the trick. I would say you got a bad one. Still under warranty I hope?
i'm not entirely sure. I got mine through verizon in august or september of this year. Not sure if Verizon would handle replacing it, since I didn't buy their extended warranty. I read somewhere that SE themselves can handle it since it's not a year old yet, but my phone is kinda required for work.

You should let your phone die at least once a month, then charge it all the way to 100%
With the phone turned off. I promise you will get the best life out of your battery. Good Luck MF.

No.... Just, no.
Same problem
I had the same problem, I think I have to buy a new battery
A couple of things...
When applying an update on Android platforms, the battery stats are usually wiped, this results in wonky battery drain and charging indications and it usually lasts a few days to as long as a week.
So, the short story is, see if it doesnt correct itself after a week.
On occasion, Android updates dont quite go right and regardless of how Google 'intends' for updates to go, 25% of the time, youll end up doing a factory reset after a firmware update (poor performance, new error messages, wonky power issues including higher than normal battery drain and slow charge rates).
Again, the short story is, after a week, if it hasnt corrected itself, Id suggest a factory reset, then give it another week to see if the battery issue corrects itself. Obviously, realize that if during that week you install anything new that this could affect your battery life. I personally try to keep my phone as stock as possible and disable as many stock apps that I know Ill never use (my Note 3 is at around 25 stock apps disabled and Ive only installed 15 of my own apps, none of which would likely have a negative impact on battery).
Best practices for the proper care and feeding of Lithium Ion batteries is pretty straight forward. There are alot of myths out there from Nickle Cadmium batteries that just dont hold true for our current generation of batteries.
1. Whenever possible, keep the battery charged. If you have an outlet available, plug your phone in, regardless of whether its fully charged or not.
2. Try to keep your battery / device in typical room temp environments (ie a temp range of 60-85 degrees F). Obviously, this isnt always possible but dont intentionally leave a battery / device sitting on the dash in your car in direct sunlight (direct sunlight can raise the temp by as much as 25 degrees higher than the actual ambient temp), dont put your battery / device on top of a heater, etc.
3. Drain the battery periodically (referred to as a full discharge*), currently, the rule of thumb is once every 3 months and re-charge with the phone OFF, once the phone has a 100% charge (use the volume rocker to see the current charge without having to boot the phone), unplug the charger, THEN boot the phone. This gives Android a chance to see what a full discharge and charge should be (and cycles the battery giving the electronics inside the battery a chance to see the same discharge / charge).
* Note that a full discharge in todays components is when a device shuts itself down when on battery power due to lack of power in the battery to continue operating said component without damaging the battery or the component any further. Do NOT continue to turn the device on after it shuts down in this manner without first plugging external power into the device as this will likely dramatically shorten the life of the battery.
The last rule is most important..
4. IMPORTANT! Use your device like you normally would. The above three are tips for making a battery last as long as possible but when and if your phone makes you change how you live your life to any degree of extremes, you've forgotten the point of what your phone is.
And I will now give you source information to the above, these guys are the battery experts...
