xperia S is POWER HUNGRY

[brucebautista]

I don't know but for some reason, my Xperia S is just thirsty for power. It needs to charge every end of the day, or sometimes even middle of the day, it asks for power...Is this normal for xperia s to be so power hungry for just text messages and a few phone calls and and on wifi? My wifi reception is really good, and I'm on a 3g network. Am I doing something wrong? I have Email and FB app running all day though?

you just pointed out the issue FB, but to be certain do the following

charge your phone 100% -> restart your phone -> make sure it's still at 100%

use your phone as any other day -> once it reaches 10% do the following

settings -> about phone -> battery use

take screenshots -> tap on the graph -> take a screenshot (on landscape)

also on the item list tap and copy the amount of time (hours/minutes/seconds) each app was on or take screenshots and post everything here

in simple words, the more you sync and the often you sync the faster your battery will drain

if you sync fb contacts, calendar, albums, etc it will drain faster

Uliwooly,

I have one question for you regarding the battery, suppose the battery is low and i connect it to a charger can i use my phone simultaneously when it is charging or should i wait till it charges to a certain amount and then use it? Since its a non user replacable battery so i wanna make sure of it

and not take any chances hoping for your reply soon

And i am very happy with the battery back up my Xperia S gives me after doin all the regular stuffs and

being connected to wifi and home and work, playing games listening to music at the end of the the i wil still be left with 20% minimum thats very impressive!!! :smileyhappy:(with brightness level 50% i dont want my phone screen to look dull which is the best part of the phone, only when battery goes below 30% i hav configured it to bring down brightness to 10%)
