I want to see how your X1's doing on performance. Please post your battery life with ur daily usage here please
For myself, i ran it only for a few days n i may have to get an extra battery to work...
phone fully charged by wall charger from 12am last night to 7am this morning (i know the crappy stuff about charging it thru PC, so i decided to go with wall charger).
unplugged at 7am
7am - 9am: phone was on without usage - wifi, bluetooth, everythings off
(battery bar from FULL to 80%)
9am - 11am: windows media player with connection for live radio online
(battery bar from 80% to 40%)
11am to 2:45pm: media player panel for mp3 usage, listening to mp3 nonstop with a few short phone calls
(battery bar empty and it shut off itself)
so i have total of 5 hours and 45 minutes of usage of the phone from 9am to 2:45pm, other than that it was just sitting turned on from 7am to 9am
Is it normal? please post urs here to do a little comparison!
Fully charged with the phone off overnight, 8 hours later without any usage (just checked the clock a few times) kept me at 100% battery level.
However, using the internet to browse through regular websites consistently and running Fring at the same time runs my battery from 100% to completely shut down in 3 hours and 45 minutes or so.
Today:
Fully charged and unplugged @ 10am
Surfed the web 30 minutes (opera 9.5)
Skype ~10 minutes (text messaging)
Checked mails (2 accounts) every 60 minutes = 10 times until 8pm
~20 minutes phone calls
all with HSDPA
battery level now 1:17 am, after 15 hours, 60%.
So, yes. Its normal and I think any other phone will behave the same with 2 hours listening to online radio + ~3 hours mp3 playback + few short phone calls.
Charged about 8h overhight, unplugged at 10am in the morning, bluetooth on all day, synchronized with bluetooth watch mbw-150 for all day, listening music over bluetooth stereo headset for about half hour, phone calls 35 minutes, turned on display many times over all day and in the evening at midnight, after 14 hours of usage I have more then 60% battery so not bad I think.
Battery life
Well my phone really is inconsistent. I keep forgetting to load it at night and i will be empty the next morning as long as bluetooth is on. No matter how full it was in the evening.
I do use it all day with bluetooth and about 1 hour phone calls a day over bluetooth + Outlook used a lot. It will be almost empty in the evening.
Bluetooth really is pulling the battery down.
ya, hmm maybe cause by network we are in... maybe some network require stronger use of battery to get reception... for this i cant really tell cause im not an expert...
by the way, im in US using ATT.
feel better now though by knowing its normal for a pda phone, actually its my first, used to play mp3 all day with sony's phone, lol
i know turning all programs and connection off will reduce use of battery, but is there ways to really make it run a little longer?
sidenote: my theme is Today, and i also make sure that nothing running in task manager...
Perhaps it has something to do with the radio ROM?
anyone? no hints?
Connected to EDGE, BT (syncing with car stereo only) and WLM 24/7 with about and hour or two worth of calls and viewing & answering sms/emails my battery lasts about 3 days.
Connected to EDGE, BT (syncing with car stereo only), WLM 24/7 with about 20 minutes worth of calls, viewing & answering sms/emails and listening to mp3's with the screen on with the backlight dimmed lasts from about 6-7 hours.
Connected to EDGE, BT (syncing with car stereo only), WLM 24/7 with about 20 minutes worth of calls, viewing & answering sms/emails and listening to mp3's with the screen off lasts from about 10-15 hours
charged th phone overnight swiched off, on at 8:00 MBW-150 and bt headset connected 2 hours of calls. no wifi or internet browsing, 3g and HSDPA off. and at the end of the day after normal use 23:00 battery was almost dry.....
100% in the morning @ 7:00 am charged all night using wall charger
HSDPA (or Edge depending on converage) all the time with Microsoft Push Email
10 to 20 SMSes per day
2 to 3 hours phone call
RSS feeds syncing every 1 hour using RSS HUB.
Bluetooth ON 24/7 in connectable mode, connected to BT headset (not sterio) and BT watch (MBW-150) using smartWatchM
10 to 15 Minutes of WiFi
i reach 10:00pm and the battery on 20 or 30%.
if i reduce phone calls (1 to 1.5 hours) i get 40 to 50% @ 10:00pm
this is a great battery life for me, i love it. the battery is affected by the current FW you are using and how many applications are running in the background (doing stuff not sleeping).
i use R2AA10.
Cheers
Alarm rings at 6:00.
Usage 6:00 - 16:00:
Two or three phone calls with a length of one minute or two.
Email checking for 3 accounts every 30minutes (HSDPA).
10 to 20 text-messages (receive and write).
Half an hour listening to music with headphones.
Usage 16:00 - 0:00:
Two or three phone calls with a length of one minute or two.
Email checking for 3 accounts every 30minutes (EDGE).
10 to 20 text-messages (receive and write).
Quarter an hour of W-Lan while searching the internet for updates to my programs.
Usage 0:00 - 6:00:
Standy with flightmode.
The battery drains each day for about 20%, so I charge the battery each 4th day (it should last one more day but you never know what's coming to drain your battery during the day )
I'm on YYYYY's german Manilla ROM
Hi,
New here, my first post.
Am using the latest update from SonyEricsson website.
No matter for how long I charge my phone never shows "Completely charged" status all the time its in "Charging" mode.
I have observed that it consumes more charge on using playing music, browsing, using Java tools, and if Bluetooth is kept on.
Take it off charge at 0700
3-4 hours internet use.
Podcast download and RSS feed checking + dl... (varies in a day depending on Podcast available or not and whats new)
Loads of sms
about an hour of phone calls
about 4 hours or so of reading/vocab practice (using Plecodict, a Chinese language tool)
after 2-3 days like this it needs charging again (40-20% depending on podcast dl)
Let it charge over night.
Lasts about 2 full days.
Make few calls, lots of texts, checks emails every 15 min and updates weather every 4hrs.
Also updates stocks, rss and other stuff.
Use facebook panel once a day.
After reading this thread i am a bit confused. I have My X1 for 10 days now, and it never held the whole day, which makes me want ma E90 back...
Couse the usage is just the same, maybe a little more WLM.
I have mails checking every 5 mins, no WIFI, or BT. AND 24/7 WLM connected, with 5 hours typing or more.
And i gues it is thy typing that consumes battery. Somehow X1 3" screen consumes twice the power of E90 4" screen? That just doesn't make sense. G2 or G3 doesn't realy matter. Well only little.
Will try for the first time tommorow without WLM.
Or Maybe WLM with me turning the screen of and relying on sound notification, instead of checking the screen all the time.
Still big downside for me, regarding the battery. Even E90 was at EDGE, couse, UMTS did not hold it whole day. God damm it we have battery tehnology from 100 years back...
can those with good battery life please post the rom and radio rom u are using?
thanks
Ok thought the battery life on my HD2 was pretty awful (always charged it all night) but for some unknown reason a couple of days ago I decided to switch off all data updates (twitter, email download set to every 2 hours instead of 30mins, stock updates, rss hub) still have facebook & weather apps downloading as normal. I now kill any program once I've finished using it.
Doing all this has dramatically increased battery life, am now on 71% after unplugging it yesterday around 1PM so that's best part of 22 hours. During which have made/received a few calls sent 10+ texts, downloaded 50+ emails, manually updated rss feeds 10 times, played about with IMDB app for 30 mins, played 45 mins on poker, done a full virus scan & database update (31mins), run a level 3 ram clean, browsed the web.... probably spent about 2-3 hours on it solid and the battery is only down just over 1/4 - would have pretty much been out of juice before!
All I have to do is click the update now soft key every time I want a data feed refreshed, no biggie I reckon.
my battery is awsome too.. using it every day for phone calls and many many sms, surfing everyday with opera when im in train / bus to work or school.
i dont use it for music, so dont know how much battery that would cost, also i dont have any things updating in the background like the weather or facebook or whatever, im doing that manually..
fact, my battery can hold 2 days, maybe even 3. but what kills the battery is when i play games.. 15mins of morphgear games and my battery has 10% less omg
but yea.. rarely playing games with it, so i got my hd2 lasts 2 days
sync and receive mail/contact every5-10 min, or set to "as items arrive"??
apparently its set to send every so often as it searches every so often, I have google as push and doesn't really affect my battery life, but I also have my yahoo mail set to scan every hour, so not really sure lol
I used to have hotmail "as items arrive", but also had weather and facebook updates as regularly as possible. I didn't think it would have any effect. But after months and months of only getting 1 day out of the phone, I set hotmail to every 15 minutes and drastically reduced the frequency of downloads for weather and facebook, and I now get 2-3 days off 1 charge, depending on use of course.
I can't say how much difference that 1 setting alone made, but it must have made a difference.
wow..great battery life. May i ask what ROM you are using?
3 days?? how
i have mail set to every 2 hours. weather is manual. im on elegancia 9 have an updated radio.
i lose almost always 5 pct an hours in standby with minimal usage. if i throw browsing or other things its always 10 pct an hour. never can i not charge it over night

i would like to know as well. which Rom etc...
2 days ok, 3 days is a bit far-fetched.
...unless you turn off your phone most of the day. who knows.

I wonder this question too...I just switched from push to every 10 mins. it seemed to help but wasn't dramatic. I found turning off the data connection helped but I still don't know what that even accomplished.

On my phone, exchange push mail uses less power than checking every 15 minutes...

Mine lasts at least 2 full days with light to moderate use (data always on + check every hour on 2 mailboxes + twitter + weather, some browsing and 15-20 minutes phonecalls, 20-30 minutes using the phone for various things).
If I don't use it much (only phone calls and usual checks every hours, rest of the time on standby), it usually lasts 3 full days (and 2 nights )
I do charge it more often when I can though, since it's better for the battery
I do not think there is a difference with push mail and checking mail every 30 minutes.
I went to bed last evening with a 99% charge and woke up nine hours later with 93%.
I used to have two mail accounts check every 30 minutes, but changed one to push last evening.
I seem to be getting the same result, push or check.
6% loss in nine hours, 1 mail set to push, 1 to 30 minutes check, weather updated hourly (though I think weather does not actually update when phone is sleeping.
It is now still showing 23% charge with regular usage.
WIFI always on and auto-connect when in range, GPS, Bluetooth always on. Facebook and Twitter set to refresh every 5 minutes. Played a bit of Krazy Kart, some web browsing calls txt's and so on.
Running JPC 2.2 unrooted no lag fix etc.
Quite chuffed
interesting...
do you have sync stuff set at every 30 min or every 60 min ?
i have all my apps sync every 30 or 60 when allowed
battery last half a day as in 12 hours
need two pack every for a full 24 hours
All apps that need sync are set at 5 minutes. I cannot remember what I set Google to sync to but it will be whatever the minimum time is.
This is getting unreal. OK charged up on Friday night overnight with clock on and unplugged yesterday (Sat) morning. Light to medium use and tonight as I type it still shows over 30% charge left. Thats's 38 hours and counting so far.
Am I alone in thinking this freaky for an Android Smartphone?
Hello, put here your stats from battery
How much you get hours on the screen etc.
Never took a screenshot after full drain...normally with an hour of asphalt 8 and few hours of browsing with wifi,couple of hours of videos on local storage and other things altogether i get 6 hours screen time with a standby of 35 to 40 hours with 50 to 60% brightness on manual brightness...that is after draining the battery to 7%.always i have location services turned on with battery saving and googlenow too turned on all the time..wifi i turn only wheni turn the screen on...without gaming i get 7 hours screen on time with same standby time...i donot use whatsapp and autosync is turned off..if we try to push it hard with just one app like a news reader open we can see 10 hours screen on time with this phone..because when reading through just one battery drop is 1% for 8 mins..have attached images i took with 32% battery remaining...
I managed to get 4 days standby with 4 hours on screen time. Phone was charged for 10 minutes during this from my PC (extracting a file from it) which shouldn't have made much of a difference as it takes a lot to charge the phone (2a).
