Improve Sony Xperia S Battery Performance
The more powerful a smartphone the more power it needs. Whilst Sony have optimised battery usage as best as possible, it is sometimes down to the user to make changes to ensure you get the best battery life possible from your device, especially if you are away from power for a period of time. Here are some suggestions of what you could do.
When you are not using the internet, you can save power by disabling all data connections over mobile networks.- Turn off GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when you don’t need these features.
- Set your synchronisation applications to synchronise manually.
- Check the battery usage menu in the phone to see which applications use the most power.
- Close and exit applications that you are not using.
- Lower the screen display brightness level.
- Turn off your phone or use Airplane mode if you are in an area with no network coverage.
- Use a Sony original handsfree device to listen to the music.
- Keep your phone in standby whenever possible.
- Live wallpaper is set as default background, so you can change it to static background, which can help to save battery
To make life easier you could use a SmartTag to automate the process for you.

Use LiveWare Manager to configure NFC Smart Tags for the Xperia S
The Sony Xperia S will come pre-loaded with LiveWare Manager, a Sony application that allows you to configure which actions are triggered when specified accessories are connected to the handset. It is LiveWare manager that will enable the configuration of the Sony NFC SmartTags, which are compatible with the Xperia S (and other NFC handsets).
LiveWare manager is not a new application, it has come pre-loaded on the Xperia range for a while and is available to download from the Android market here. At the moment it can be configured to launch actions when headphones, charger or headset are connected. In the screenshots below, you can see an example when connecting a headset. The app will be updated when the Xperia S launches to enable NFC configuration. The Xperia S is due to be here the week commencing March 5th.
