[Q] Xperia X10 Mini Pro poor battery life - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hello every one,
I am facing poor battery life with my x10 mini pro. Even I had my battery replaced recently. But still, the battery life is just about the same.
I tried following things...
1. Turning down the brightness down.
2. Turning off the data, background sync, 3g
3. Uninstalling the apps that runs on background
4. Deleting battery stats after installing new ROM (CM7 2.2.0)
I typically use my phone for 1hour of calls, 30mins of browsing, 1hour music playback, <20mins of gaming. And the battery will be drained in less than 8 hours.
And, another weird thing is, the battery fills up very very fast. It will take like 25mins to get to 100% from <15%.
Please, guide me what to do. This has been a serious head ache for me. Will flashing back to Eclair, Donut will solve the issue?
Thanks.

I am having the exact same problem!
I suggest flashing back to MiniCM7-2.1.9, my battery life was REALLY good on that version. But I updated to v2.2.0 yesterday and now I have the same battery problem as you. The rom does run faster and I also noticed a few bugs fixed, such as the keyboard light, but battery life is just really bad for me.

If u dont use dsp manager then remove it,because many users hve reported that dsp manager drains battery
Install battery dr saver from market
It has option of full cycle charge for charging battery properly

Done that already, still the same. Already know about Battery Dr Saver, but I don't think it helps this problem.
I also installed Badass Battery Monitor, it's really detailed and shows a lot of info. It's showing that the display is using up the most battery, but I have it idle most of the time.........

agree!
at least someone or two has same problem with me.
i just flashed cm7 2.2.0 over these 2 weeks.
well i noticed the battery drain alot faster than stock eclair.
i'm looking forward to see the solution...

Select interactiveX governer
Min 19mhz max 691mhz
And check undervolt
I do this to save battery

done that already too, except I use smartassv2 governor and my max is just stock speed at 600mhz.
I basically applied every tweak that I could find from every topic, and believe me they do work, on v2.1.9 at least.
It seems that most people have the same problem on v2.2.0, the radio somehow keeps draining battery. I noticed that it used up 33% for no reason, whereas on v2.1.9 it was around 2%.
BTW I dunno if it makes a difference if I use smartassv2 or interactiveX, but most people said that smartassv2 is better since that's what nAa uses, so it's more compatible. I don't think changing the governors matter though, I've used Badass Battery Monitor for 3 days in a row now and it shows none of the apps are draining power. Even using Android Assistant shows that my phone is idle 94% of the time, where the System uses 4% CPU and User uses 2% CPU. So I do believe it's gotta do with the radio, somehow this rom isn't using the kernel that well I think.

Then it wil be good idea to stick to 2.1.9

YES ! im not the only one wooo, i signed up just to thank the creator of this thread <3 ok so i think it is the minicm7 2.2.0 problem, because i never had it before ! BUT i am using minicm9 now, and anyone confirm that our batteries work better with this? because ive noticed a slight improvement with battery in MiniCM9, i love my mini, i need to fix this battery problem ! i even got two batteries thinking my batterys was f***ed, still only gave me about 5 hours worth of battery max !

I suggest going back to CM7 2.1.9. It's very stable for me and battery drain is so low that my phone can last almost a week on standby without much usage, it's great!
I would stay away from CM9 for now, and wait until it's more stable. So far, I've read that many people are experiencing a few bugs here and there, so I would wait until after a few new version releases and try it out then.

I am using CM9 now and its beautiful to be honest, its just a few bugs, but atm battery life > cm7 2.2.0 i am getting about 6 hours instead of 3-4 i might go back to cm 2.1.9 and see how it goes thanks guys for the help <3

what kernel should i use? beacuse i think it might be the Naa Kernel that is giving me bad battery life

well, if you're using CM9 or CM7, you have no choice but to use the nAa kernel.......unless you're asking which kernel version, otherwise you pretty much don't have a choice.
I'm pretty sure it's not the kernel either, CM7 2.2.0 drains a lot more battery compared to CM7 2.1.9. They both use the same kernel, so it has nothing to do with that.

i used cm7 2.1.9 and i got 4 hours battery life, with wifi off, 3g off, and all i did was txt thru whatsapp with 2g and i was at the movies for 2 hours anyway, and no its not my battery cause i bought another one, still the same thing im getting frustrated ! gonna try original kernel and rom

that's really odd, my phone running CM7 2.1.9 can last for 3 days easily if I just use it for txting. I'm using nAa-11 kernel, and haven't had a problem with it......maybe try to flash the kernel and rom again?

yep tried that as well, alot of times one thing i noticed was when i installed paul's kernel i hadnt charge the phone and when i booted up the phone after flashing the battery was 62% but wifi wasnt working with the kernel so i installed Naa kernel again, i didnt charge the phone and the battery percentage went up to 82% like wtf -.-

I installed cm9 mini, but phone was lagging and battery life was poor. Now i installed cm7 mini 2.2.1 and it runs a lot better than cm9, but like most of you say, i also have the battery drain issue...; during 9hours of sleep my phone lost 30% of battery that's really enoying. Stock 2.1 SE rom loses about 7% during 9 hours of sleep.
So most of you recomand the 2.1.9 instead of 2.2.1? And which kernel should i use? Is there a possibility that the kernel i use (ana 14 ) drains the battery so fast? if i install 2.1.9 should i use the ana 14 kernel, or a lower version?
thx

[Q] GinTonic.SE - Dimished battery life?

Hi there. I'm using GinTonic.SE v1.3 for 4 days now, and I can get only 30-34h worth of battery life - as long as I have Wi-fi and 3G off. I used to get almost 50h with Froyo CM6.
Has anyone experienced diminished battery life with GinTonic?
Thanks!
Gingerbread are battery drainers, try undervolting (settings/CyanogenMod/performance/cpu). And reduce backlight to minimum
i'm experiencing the same problem, the battery draining is anormal, i've tried with battery calibration but that doesn't resolve the issue, battery goes from 100% to 98 in about 1 minute (data,sync,wifi off and minimal brightness) then straight down... i need to charge the phone 3 times in a day, i had to reflash he cyanogen revolution... any advice?

It's true... as xxlordxx said... compared to Froyo, Gingerbread Customs are slightly higher battery drainers..... You atleast get 30 H, I used to get 13 with Gintonic..
I've no problems with the cyano revolution and/or the stock rom

have you tried the new GT 2.3.8? claims better battery use, i installed yday and it lasted for the day at least..but that was quite minimal use. as stated use either uv.ko or underclock with setcpu, i downloaded app called cpu spy it informs you what speed your proc is running at and u can get a decent reading on when and how long the speed is which helps in set cpu if you set up profiles so i.e when yr battery reaches x% the clockspeed will reduce, and choose a governer like powersave or conservative...it does make quite a difference
yes battery life is bad I will have to look at some of those 3rd party batteries

[Q] Any rom without battery drain ? gingerbread or froyo ?

Hi,
last version of miniCM7 pro is very fast and battery friendly : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201116
Good luck
Now almost all ROMs are fixed about battery drain. If you take one of the last version of recent ROMs you you should not have battery drain

IM using minicm7 pro v17 , alot of battery drain , but ginger dx fine
I'm using minicm7 pro with no battery drain
don't forget to turn off bluetooth, wifi off with the ''never turn off'' governor ans turn the data off when you don't use it
It would be a god's phone if no battery draining, so we just charge the phone once and never plug it in again in the charger for the rest of our life just kidding.
so for the rom with slow battery draining, I should agree with above comments, mostly have a good battery drain at the moment (latest version of MiniCM7 Pro, GDX and GinTonic, all is ginger bread), MiniCM7 Pro seem has a worse bat drain, because several app that need data transmission runs in background without our permission, as long you always turn of 3G & Data traffic when not using it, it would be fine.

gaming massive battery drain!!

i have the elegant white rom,its awesome low ram consumption speed etc.
BUT first to change stock rom(original from manifacturer)i could play 2 hours and 1/2 sometimes 3 without trouble with battery at 30/35% left now i play 5 mins and my battery goes from 93% to 87% in 5 min
so 6%x12=72%battery lost in 1 hours its bad really bad! i also installed the battery fix but notthing!in idle without playing i lost 2/3% per hours so this is good.
someone have my same trouble? it is normal?if so i should install back stock rom?
if i get stock rom again the battery should be fine?
the elegant rom is on stock 2.3.7 i had 2.3.3 when i bought this phone
sorry for bad english i have not much time
thx everyone
(already done calibration)
to full charge it takes 1 hours max is it normal?

done 2 days ago after let phone shut down and charged until 100%
Roms based on CM7.2 do drain battery massively compared to stock so going back to stock would help.
Battery callibration does not help - see Here
Same problem here... Living with it cuz stock has just become old and lazy
But if you really want battery switch to stock its way better than cm

There isn't a noticeable difference in both versions in terms of battery life. However, 5.7 has better performance and is noticeable.
You can try underclocking to something like 730 MHZ and save a decent amount of battery life without losing performance. Check this OC kernel out:
OC zImage
Also, use Cyanogenmod, ADW launcher without customizations is faster than the stock touch-wiz UI launcher.

For all those who r shouting that battery calibration doesnt improve battery.. Did the XDA said it improves battery life?? Do u ppl know wats the meaning of calibration?? Calibrating means adjusting something to the accurate value.. Not improving the value!! Even we never said it ll improve battery life.. Battery calibration just calibrates the reading to more accuarte one. So let the ppl calibrate it. Else leave. It ll automatically gets adjusted after 1 or 2 week.. U can see urself the change..

Yes, many members on XDA said that callibration improves battery life. The battery indicator on your status bar does not use batterystatus.bin. It does not automatically adjust after 1 week or 2. It re-calibrates every time you charge!
Read the article posted by XDA for more:
google-engineer-debunks-myth-wiping-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
well i dont know about you all
but on my phone battery percantage isnt that accurate
cause when i unplug phone from charger and just open game or do something battery percantage goes to like 90%
but when my battery percantage is low like 18% it holds 30mins on 18%
I've tested many roms here and stock rod do tend to have better battery life, but... When i tested the RAZRv3 by TeamCooper, it had extremly good battery life.
When i got my Ace it had froyo, that lasted about 2.5-3 days. I upgraded to gingerbread official, battery lasted about 1.5-2 days on. Then i tried several custom stock roms and they all lasted about 1-2 days.
After that i started testing CM7 (both 7.1 and 7.2) roms and most of them lasted 12-18 hours (i used the wifi disables 3g function and some other tweaks to last the battery longer otherwise those roms would not have been usable)
Then i got to the RAZRv3 i used it for 2 weeks and the battery was amazing, it lasted easily for 3 days with no other tweaks than "wifi disables 3g" and also the performance was good. No lag!
Then i tested the CM7.2byFAT and the battery was awful but i really liked the rom so i keep 3g disabled when i dont use internet (all background apps use 2g internet) and now the battery last for 2 days.
As i've tested.... 3g takes really alot of battery in CM7 roms but in RAZRv3 (cm7.1 based) it worked like a charm.
So.. Everyone who wants really good battery life should test RAZRv3 that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478807

MiniCM9-3.0.2 / nAa-ics-03 bad battery life

Hi there,
Just installed MiniCM9-3.0.2 / nAa-ics-03 a few days ago coming from MiniCM7.
I really like the ROM. There's only one thing.. Battery life is 8 hours max.
The phone is setup not to sync any mail/contacts/agenda stuff right now and I've tried Juicedefender to shut down data traffic at night but still the battery is almost empty after about 8 hours. I'm using the suggested SmartAssv2 governor.
Any one else also experiencing this and/or has a suggestion about what might help getting longer battery life ?
Thanks in advance

Some say overclocking can help with saving battery life, as tasks get done quicker and so you don't burn as much energy on displaying the screen. Then again, overclocking caused my phone to become unstable.
Why not flash the nAa-ics-04 and MiniCM 3.0.3 and see if that helps? Check your Battery stats and see what part is using the most battery.
Place the Energy widget on your homescreen so you can turn off services that you don't need at that time.

Thanks for your reply belgianguy.
In the mean time I had found both nAa-ics-04 and MiniCM 3.0.3 and installed them.
Also I did this procedure a few time : charged the battery full, cleared the battery stats from CWM and discharged the battery.
Altogether a very big difference
Not sure what caused the battery life to last much longer but both things helped I guess.
Even got wifi working now
I'll have a look at the Energy widget next.

[Q] Very poor battery life

Hi!
I just got my Xperia Mini Pro (a week ago).
I immediately flashed it with CM10 #146 and overall I'm satisfied with it's resoponsivness and performance. The only thing that worries me is horrible battery life, I just charged it this morning and now, about 6 hours later (20 mins of talking, about 15 messages) my battery's at 35%. I'm not using any data conenction, I have switched it to 2G only, my signal is strong, I have reduced screen brighness to about 75%, and I keep both BT and GPS off. I do use wifi, but that's like 10 mins a day. My phone came with a 1160mAh battery, which I know is not the most powerful one, but baraly 1 day of batteyr life in a brand new phone, and being forced to charge it every evening just scares me
Is this normal for these Xperias? My old Wildfire used to last about 2-2,5 days.
Yes. It is normal for me. I charge my phone everyday.
You can lower your brightness or apply battery tweaks to preserve battery life

You can try another kernel, for instance MESA 2.2, and undervolt a bit. I get about 2 days of battery with that kernel and some init.d and build.prop tweaks.
I don't really fancy any of those ubertweaked-hardocre-v6-megaoptimized kernels and stuff. Cyanogen mod does the job for me, and I don't really want to "overtweak" antything I'm just gonna have to stick with what I have I guess.
I don't think that flashing it with stock FW (which I'd hate to do) will help it?
Christ... I don't get it... A friend of mine has an Xperia LWW with the same battery, the same CPU, and she charges it like three times a week, while I'm gonna have to charge it like seven times a week. It's just wrong. I hope that the battery will get a bit better over time, and I'll be able to use for at least 24h without looking for the charger.

Yeah man, but i guess she hasnĀ“t flashed cm10... ROM consumes battery as well. If you were on stock firwmare as i guess she is, then you would have almost the same battery backup
Always check that sync is off. Cause it will drop battery bar easily. Of course in case you don't need sync.
And check build.prop. there's 2-3 lines which will help the phone to deep sleep better. (Search xda)
I myself use aokp jb with messa kernel and with normal usage it takes me 1.5 day.

Kernel : Kernel PAnic v2.5(ICS) and Rage 3.0(GB)
ROM : Smultronic v 5.0(ICS) and Spartan v2.05(GB)
Brightness : 40%
Sync off
I get a usage of about 2 days on both of these roms...and if u are a light user i mean if u play no games them HyperBeamCream is really good for ICS.
well...1 day battery life is abt normal for our fones which have1200 mah battery,,,,can't help it:crying:
well the simplest way to take a step for solution is changing kernel to mesa cause with fxp 146 kernel there was a horrible battery drain for me also. Reduce the screen brightness & turn off 3g if u dont need it
i suggest mesa with CM10 too .
You could also decrease processor speed in standby, I think normally it's 250 but you can put like 125.
In cm10 mesa kernel does the job... It really saves the battery... And one more thing is that, give it some time... The battery will become normal after a few days of usage...
