Battery running out with the speed of the light

mrsFarrington — Thu, 19 Sep 2013 07:32:35 GMT

My phone is like 1 year old, no damages, never fall, never contacted water, never been repaired, no crackes.
Wallpeapers are not live,all programs turned off(yes i did check that in 'settings'), wifi,data transfer, EVERYTHING turned off. Charged fully at 2am, at 10am 41% left. All night it was just lying near my bed. Untouched.

WHY
Sony,you've been so good and now you are so terribly bad at doing things.

Thank god you have repared the Sonycompanion,and it now works after almost 9 months of being a wasted programm.

But the battery problem really upsets me.

Also i do not know about European countries, but the plastic my phone has is actually SOFT
No need to drop it for having deep scratches.

Hope to see the answer before the 2014 comes. The last submitted letter took 3months to be answered.

you have about 14hrs of battery life, that's normal for a smartphone, remember there are multiple variables, if you have poor network coverage that will drain your battery faster, if you leave wifi on it will drain it, check the battery and check what is draining your battery and also check how many hours each app/item on that list has been running

NOTHING, that is the point. The total sleeping mode lasts for 8hours.
If i turn on the wifi or a music,battery will last for 4 hours max with the screen turned out. and if i want to change palylist or to use the screen,it will run out even faster.

It never been this way before. I was charging it once per 2 days. For a year.

most likely there are apps running in the background draining your battery, perhaps you are syncing/streaming data, poor network coverage, etc

repair your phone, see if that helps

As i said earlier a few times- EVERYTHING is turned off. I am not a newbie, i know where all the settings hide.
All i can blame right now is the possibility to have a bad accumulator.

Be aware of the set... Mine have same issue. Set is out of warrenty, I went to Service Centre, they said "This set is not repairable, it is only replacable" so they are asking for 80% of the cost to replace.

Have they gone mad. Litteraaly speaking.. they said throw your mobile after warrenty

If your phone isall out and you are not willing to pay the 80%price,you can do thenext thing:

1) Sony 1255-9147.1- the battery name. google,buy.
2) buy special screws
3) repair.

or pay to some good person to repair it for you.
I've totally re-designed my nokia3250 by myself. and i am 23 y.o.,female.

I don't exactly remember my problem.
There were a leak in working&updating programs.
I suppose i have cut the possibility to update itself for a few active programs.
Try to go through "Settings",and search therer for any possible explanation.
