For your info, I dont know if it works for everyone.

My phone is in idle mode for about 10hrs, only 4% battery juice gone. For the same amount of time, my friend's phone have more than 20% battery juice gone.

I checked out the differences, my friend had many apps in phone storage & not in internal storage. I guess this might be one of the reason for apps running in background consuming a lot of juices. So, try it out yourself, transfer most of your apps (non-widget) to internal storage.

ok i will give it a try.

Give it a week. Maybe its like the glue incident with the fruity phone last time, takes time to dry & disappear.

you mean GSM ?

CDMA is not working in SG or rather SG got no CDMA networks anymore.

While I was on HTC Sensation, there is this option to always enable mobile data option with a tick but in Xperia S, I cant find that option. Or did I miss it out somewhere?

there is a widget on one of the home page, or you can go Settings/Wireless/Mobile Network

I did go to mobile network .. i didnt see that option as I thought its a standard option in all Android mobiles ...

I'm not looking for the data enable option but to 'Always enable mobile data' as in when u're talking on your set, your 3G data download in the background is still downloading.

its proprietary to HTC I believe. with it unchecked, it allows data traffic at certain fixed intervals which helps battery life, but I turned it on on my xl as it causes some apps like weather updates not to work properly if unticked. u can try finding those battery saver apps if u need it.

don't think its proprietary since I saw that option on Samsung Galaxy S2 also but oh well I guess that contributes to the battery drain in Xperia S
