If you’ve been experiencing battery life issues with your X10, you’re not alone. Most smartphones, while powerful are let down by the low battery life and Sony Ericsson’s recently released Xperia X10, is no different. Over at XDA-Developers, there’s a thread about the “X10 Power Usage“, currently up to 29 pages. Within the posts, there are a few tips on how you can improve the battery life, from obvious steps such as turning off WiFi, to disabling apps which auto start up, Moxier being one of the culprits.

One user is using startup auditor and has disabled Moxier, Timescape, face recognition etc. While another user, recommends using TaskPanel over Startup Auditor. One useful comment is detailed below on how you can improve your battery live from around 8 hours to up to 20-30 hours.

Using an application that stops several services on startup. I use startup auditor and disable moxier services, Timescape, face recognition…etc.

Using an application that disables the APN while the screen is off and therefore syncing in the meanwhile. There are lots of such applications, data on demand works for me and is free.

Cycling the battery a few times from discharge to full charge. This has made truly a difference.

Using 2G most of the time rather than 3G. (I don’t have to do much, at work I’m in a dark spot with 2G coverage only).

All these measures combined, give me more than 20-30 hours of operation while at the beginning I could hardly get 8.

Data Sync is also a culprit for sucking the battery life and is recommended to turn it off, or increase the frequency time.
