For all those with battery problems,try this and see what happens

_alexdon_ — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 09:19:18 GMT

My friends, i can see you have many problems with the batery life. I don't know if any of you has noticed this, but when the phone is charging and it reaches 100%, you shouldn't remove the charger. The phone is still charging even after reaching 100%,sometimes for half an hour. If you want to see when the phone is fully charged, go to Settings-About phone-Phone status. In the first field you can find if the phone is or is not fully charged. Try this and let's see what happens. I hope i can help some of you.

I restart my phone after 100% charge to confirm and then disable one process "Unsupported Headset Notifier" using Elixir2 tool. I lost 22% after 20hours moderate use with 30 minutes phone calls.

Please confirm if others also experience similar behaviour.

you do not need to restart,if you restart the phone will stop charging. i wouldn't use any programs,the battery can do well without any apps.

You are right alexdon, The phone is still charging even after reaching 100%

But It took morethan an hour to get the FULL Status for me.

Yes,it depends if you use the phone while charging or you don't.If you use the phone,it will charge slower in the last 90-100% and until the battery is fully charged it will take more than 30 mins.Also,please tell us if you get a better battery life if the phone is fully charged when removing the charger.

Yeah, there is improvement in Normal Usage ( Network Data + Phone Calls + GPS + Camera + Walkmen + Videos ),

At 10% it still running, usually the phone will go off around this point.

It's only started, i will update later....

Thankyou for the Tip.

you are welcome.i would be grateful if a moderator could mark my post as sticky or somehow to let it first in the line because many xperia p users have no idea about this thing,and some of them could improve the battery life.

Upgraded to ICS this morning, everything works as expected except for one thing the battery usage of the 'android OS' process is using a lot of power (45% of power usage, screen is 33%) if the device is awake.

because of this my phone has a power usage 2% per ten minutes.

(when doing nothing but keeping the phone active)

When the phone is idle it's barely using any power.

I'll see if this fixes it.

i'm glad to see that this is a good piece of advice for you.if this doesn't work,you might be forced to repair your software.

Is this normal battery usage?

I don't know if this is usable since it was only an hour on before posting this...

I can make another screenshot when it has been on for 12h if this isnt usable.

this battery use is not normal,thee os drains too much battery.disable apps like antivirus or task killer or any other app.if this doesn't work you have to repair the phone software.

None of those enabled...

I guess I'll have to do a reset..

Does that affect data stored on the "sdcard"?

Re: For all those with battery problems,try this and see what happens

_alexdon_ — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 13:23:52 GMT

nope,if you repair the software,only the phone memory will be wiped,but you have the option to erase both memories,because it is told that if you reset to factory the settings,the phone will work better.

Only used it for a few minutes but the reset seems to have resolved my problems.

The OS uses 3% now.

Thanks for your help!
