having thois phone since 1.5years, I can say that is I’m not using the phone, WiFi shut off, task auto killer, my battery can stay 20h…. without task killer (that kills the apps of this f*cking provider) the battery dies after 8h…. pretty short… really desapointed by this phone….

well i have just disabled the auto date and time settings, turned off auto account sync, installed task manager and auto killing heaps of programs that love to start up and run by themselves. i wish however i could completely uninstall a lot of programs that are completely useless and come with the phone like timescape. please note however im currently running : 2.3.3 android version & 2.1.71 baseband with gingerbread etc so menus and options are different and no longer have moxier/mediascape and a few other useless apps.

Battery life of the Sony Xperia x10 for AT&T is terrible. It will be fully charged before I go to bed and when I wake up its less than 80%. What do I do?

“[...] whilst a 3G standby time of 200 hours is quoted [...]“… yeah, more like 6h30m with screensaver on, and then running out of juice and refusing to be recharged … seriously, what’s wrong with the se x10?

The sony ericsson x10 mini pro uses a BST38 LiPo battery 930mah 3.6v, (some sellers seem to have default 970mah from what I’ve seen??!)

Now there are other LiPo identical looking batterys under BST38 model with differing capacities1200mah and 1500mah, with a 3.7v rating. Could somone advise why using these would or would not work?

Has anyone found other batteries for the x10 mini pro other than its default 950mah?

Surely there must be one out there. Lots of other phones like the xperia for instance have higher battery capacities e.g. Even X1 or other Xperia batteries look like the same specs with 3.7v, why can’t they be used?

Seems like a major weak point that would otherwise make this a decent phone.

…otherwise am I just inviting frying my xperia.

In response to Ann. It sounds like your phone is running android 1.6.This is normal for xperia x10 running on 1.6. If you upgrade to 2.1 etc then you can charge the phone without it being turned on (all the time)On 2.1 and above it just shows a picture of a battery while charging.

hope this helps.

Just wondering if anybody has an answer for Nikki from Aug 10 as I’m having the same problem and it’s driving me crazy – it’s like Groundhog Day!

My X1 eventually died. Moved to the X10; very disappointing. I (incorrectly) assumed that having the same name (Xperia) as my X1 and being a natural upgrade, it’d have the same functions plus a few more! If I can keep it powered up long enough to receive my works voicemails by email, it can’t play them, a simple wav file.
Sony Ericsson support: useless.
Active sync with Moxier: wubbish! It won’t even do the calendar!
Bluetooth (Ericsson development): wubbish! Crackly on the same kit that’s OK on the X1 and now my old P1i!
Even the right hand ear piece on the personal hands free failed after 3 days.
Battery life, you’re better off farting in a can and using that to power the fookin thing!
Camera’s quite good though!!
And the little pouch it comes in keeps it from getting scratched; it’s the little things that matter!

Does anybody know of a bigger battery by a third party?
