Improving your Xperia X10 battery life

There’s no denying that the Xperia X10 does drain its battery quickly, even compared to some other Android handsets, however there are some simple tips to get the most out of your battery. Each of these should go some way to significantly enhance your X10 battery life. Check them out after the break.  

Xperia X10 Battery Tips

1) Charge/discharge battery a few times initially
When you first get the X10, you will need to cycle the battery from full charge to near empty at least 4-5 x. Many complain when they first use the X10 that it discharges too quickly. It is only once you’ve properly charged it a few times will you start to see an improvement in battery life.

2) Use TaskPanel/Startup Auditor to prune start-up apps
There are some applications that start by themselves when you switch on your phone. One of the biggest culprits on the Xperia X10 is Moxier. I’ve never used this app before, but it’s always there leeching the battery whenever the phone is switched on. This is where Taskpanel Lite or Startup Auditor ($0.99) comes in handy. They allow you to disable any apps from start-up that you don’t use.

3) Lower frequency of Facebook, Picasa, Twitter updates
