Oh but I see 3g sign , so that means yiur mobile metwork data was on for full 8 hours right..??

Was auto sync on..??

Fo to settings > accounts and sync..and check..

If it was on and yoi were also surfing the net from time to time then it can be normal because 3g consumes more batery..

Just listem to music with 3g off..and yoir bttery life will get double I think so

To save battery you should disabke 3g conne tion when not in use..

If you can , just check the battery life with 3g off..ok.and then post your result

Also..i see a icon of android..with 13 number on it..whats that..?? Task killer..?? Uninstall it right away if its the task killer..no need for task killer now..it rather harms the battery..ok

13 is battery widget, the screen has the brightness OFF and autosync is OFF.

i used in 8 hours data active, but i don't think that ONLY 3g is the cause of 8 hour lasting..the phone is new!! i bought it 5 days ago!!

I'm currently using 3g to reply here.. and I used 3g for 30 minutes with brightnes 15% and battery dropped to 53% from 66% ;( in just 20-25 minutes of using 3g..

Is your accounts sync on.?

Go to settings > display and turn off the bravia engine..

Then charge your phone to a full 100% , use it as you normalyy do..if possible turn off the 3g when not in use and make sure yoir bravia engine is off..just do it..afyer the battery reaches around 15% . Post the result here ok..

the 3G shouldn't be the cause of the problem, now, as slimshaddy said, do you have a lot of accounts syncing all the time?

like facebook is it updating all the time, every hour, or manually?

are you sure the brightness was off? (0%)

you can download this from the market

Power Control

facebook is every hour.. can't be simply a problem with the battery??

Re: Battery Xperia Neo Lasting 8 hours

there's one way to find out if it's a problem with the battery,

1st Charge your phone 100%

2nd turn off/on your phone

3rd charge it a bit more just to make sure it's at 100%

4th go to

settings -> accounts & sync -> uncheck Actitivate auto sync

5th use it as you normally will for 8hrs 20minutes and take the screenshots

but do NOT turn on auto sync at all

Re: Battery Xperia Neo Lasting 8 hours

uliwooly-wooly — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 20:13:27 GMT

and you don't have a taskiller or apps like that, umm you should take it back to the store, it doesn't make sense that the battery last so little

but how long was the screen on ?

Re: Battery Xperia Neo Lasting 8 hours

Fri, 25 Nov 2011 20:18:43 GMT

really not much...i used also the low brightness mode .. i'm sad 'cause i love this phone!! is much better than my old iPhone 3g!

Re: Battery Xperia Neo Lasting 8 hours

uliwooly-wooly — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 20:35:12 GMT

does this phone has Bravia Engine?

settings -> display -> bravia engine? if it does, it will drain a lot of your battery also double check how many hours the screen was on

Re: Battery Xperia Neo Lasting 8 hours

slimshaddy — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 14:05:13 GMT
