Xperia V suddenly started depleting too fast

k9yosh — Wed, 22 May 2013 02:17:08 GMT

I have a Xperia V which i bought two months ago. It was fine until last week, but suddenly it started to take more time for charging. Normally it would take 2 hours to charge from 10 - 100% but now it takes about 3 hours or more. And this became very annoying.

And suddenly i noticed that the battery is depleting too fast. When i turned on Data Connection it drops about 10% in 5 or 6mins.. The phone was working very fine. It was not like this.

This happened to my previous phone too, Xperia Ray. I had it rooted and then it started working fine. I was thinking whether it's because of some software problem. Can someone help me with this situation....?

I see that you have facebook, chrome and maps, most likely once you turn on your data everything its syncing, thus depleting your battery rapidly

turn on your data then

settings > accounts & settings > tap on each account that you have and check what's syncing

google will try to "auto upload" all your pictures and videos, which is good but uncheck it, if you want google to back them up then download google plus and set it so it will only upload them while on wifi, and/or while charging.

I tried doing that... The accounts are not syncing. Ihad turned them off. Btw that maps application it wasn't open by me... I think itz because that i have enabled location services and all. Btw this is how it normally looks like.

it will be great if you could provide the other screenshots

tap on the graph and take a screenshot

also tap on the top 3 items and post screenshots

and a new screenshot of the list

I'm almost certain that there isn't anything wrong with your phone but for what I can see you were using your data a lot either you or apps were uploading or downloading stuff.
