the battery won't last as long as it should if you do that. lithiums don't like being discharged on a regular basis. fully discharge it about once per month(or 2 months) to calibrate the meter

Note taken. I've discharged it about 3 times now, but now I'll just do nightly charges.

Use APNdroid to block your gprs/edge/3g connections when not using them.
Use Task Panel with auto-kill to stop all the useless apps that run in background
Use plane mode when sleeping (no alarm when an android phone is off anyway)
When the x10 will be rooted you will use undervolted kernel.
Switch off autorotate for home page only(if you don't need it)
Batteries in smartphones don't get full potential before at least a full month of battery cycles, even sometimes 3 months

The battery on the X10 is ridiculous, I barely get 10h of normal use !!!!!!!! My phone dies everyday before 6pm
Unplugs at 8am
- 30mn of music
- fetch emails every hour
- wi-fi on (connected all day)
- blutooth off / GPS off
- 3G and GSM on (it's a phone duh!)
And that's it !!! If I decide to surf the web a little or use the GPS it's not even funny as the phone dies around 3pm !!!
I read some of the solutions on the forums but nothing works and the reason I bought a smartphone is to be in touch with work so I need my emails/phone all the time (i.e. I am not going to turn off wi-fi or emails fetching).
I read the comments before I purchased this phone and was used to charge my iphone every night but I did not realize that the problem of battery drain on X10 was so bad... if you need to charge your phone twice a day I am sorry but it is not a cellphone / portable phone.... it's a cordless phone !!!

i'm not at all surprised your battery life is awful. you have a very big clue right there. wifi is one of the biggest drains on the battery.

I do understand that but we are in 2010 and a phone like the iphone can be on standby for 3 days with wifi enabled. My X10 dies everyday between 3pm and 6pm (from 8am) with the same use that I had on my iphone for 2 days!
I do not mind charging my phone every night (I actually expect it as I need emails and phone 24/7) but the battery on the X10 is ridiculous for a phone at this price range / features. I am currently carrying a charger with me hoping for an updated within a week... (one can dream).

While the battery run time is an issue I am having issue with charging also. After 50% the charging slows down significantly. How long does it take to get 100% ??? [ This Message was edited by: ahmedalishah on 2010-05-06 13:08 ]

Just as a follow-up to that: SE posted some info regarding future updates for the X10 line the other day, and among that info was the following:
I would also like to emphasise that there will be an additional smaller software update, already in the next couple of weeks aiming to enhance the usability and performance of Xperia™ X10. In the next post, I will share more details and precise timings for when this update will be released.
So hopefully that means that the battery fix patch is only weeks away.
Also, if anyone's interested in this route: Mugen Power has two larger capacity batteries available for the X10. A 1800mAh model that's the same size as the stock (1500mAh) battery. And a giant 3600mAh battery that comes with a new backplate.
