Xperia X2 Usage-/Stand-by time: The biggest bluff til now from SonyEricsson

I have mostly focused my criticisim against the SonyEricsson Xperia X2 and windows mobile on bugs, stupid features/flaws in Mircosoft Windows Mobile 6.5.3. One of the most important failures in this phone is the battery time.


Til now, more than a year since i bought the phone, It never, is repeat myselfe, NEVER worked a whole 24h. During a normal day, i need to keep it in the charger so that it won't die by the end of my office-hours (09.00-17.00). Someone might say that this has to do with using WIFI, 3G, talking to much on the phone etc. No, i don't use WIFI all the time, and 3G i had to turn off because i run out of battery before 14.00. During weekends there might be days that i don't use the phone at all. Also my office and home is in an area with excellent signal-strenght.

During a weekend where i don't receive any calls, the phone might stay alive in stand-by mode for about 15h. This makes me wonder how an earth SonyEricsson could fake up these figures (press-release, product-sheet) for the battery-time:

• Talk time GSM: Up to 10 hrs
• Standby time GSM: Up to 500 hrs
• Talk time UMTS: Up to 6hrs
• Standby time UMTS: Up to 640hrs
• Music listening time: Up to 20hrs

I don't even get up to 10% of any of these times!!!
