Xperia P battery drains very quickly

Hi all,

Need your help in resolving the battery issue of Xperia P. I recently went out for a one day trip and therefore I Kept my Phone in Airplane mode to keep it alive for that whole day. And it worked. If I wouldn't have done that, even with Data-traffic off, it doesnt last longer than say 5-6 hours.. Please help.:smileysad:

May I know, what is SUS?

I've repaired by phone once after updating it to .54 version. And I'm running the same version now. The Pc companion says, no update available. Thinking_Face

Dude use SUS http://www.sonymobile.com/in/tools/update-service/ to update ur phone to the .75 firmware. .75 has considerable improvement in battery life.

If ur a rooted use the apps which u can use to save battery

1) CPU Sleeper (Disables 1 core when idling this works like a charm saves a lot and i feel it works as good as the power saver mode plus it doesnt turn of data traffic and u get the whatsapp and mail notifications on time.)

2) Greenify app.

Remove all the bloatware that sony forces on u.

i guess i get a battery life of say around 12 -15 hours on normal usage and 6 hours on heavy usage (Data traffic enabled always)

Standby battery loss overnight less than 2% (Power saver mode enabled data trafiic enabled)

no problem..anytime..

the link that you have can only be used using a flashtool and having your phone to be rooted..many users have done it and many users also having problems doing it..because once you done it wrong your phone could get bricked.when your phone get bricked it will another problem for you.

i would recommend you not using those things cause as you can see we are using a fast and efficient phone (xperia P) you just have to be contented with it.

if you are having troubles with hardware and software with your phone, all you have to do is post it and we are here to help you.

so.. are you still having problems with your xperia P?

Hi prajz my friend!

     Here are some tips/advice that I can give to you.
1. When charging, wait until it become 100%-full
     *sometimes 100% is not 100%, check it out. Go to Settings>About Phone>Status. When you see Battery Status = Full, Battery Level = 100%, then it's fully charged.
2. Delete most of the widget on your home screen which you do not oftenly use. Especially the weather widget. After that, go to Settings> Apps>All. Find the weather widgets, click it and click the disable button. I don't know the technical reason why it saves battery, maybe it was a bug, but it really saves battery for my Xperia P. Just try that, if it doesn't work for you then revert all the things you've done.

Hope these tips will help you to improve your battery life. If you have time, can you pls posts some screenshot of your power management (you can see it on Settings>power management). Thanks! :smileygrin:

Hi can anyone help me as well?
I recently bought Xperia P. I charged my phone to the full and checked whether the phone was full or not by going to the settings and it was. The battery didn't last for long. For example, if I charged at 12 pm, it lasted till 4 pm, with just 10 mins use of WiFi, normal texting, lowest brightness, no call, data traffic disabled and 5 mins gaming.
I don't have the weather widget abled..it's disabled. I only have the music widget, nothing else. Please help!!
