Introduction
I have been inspecting the Xperia X8 build.prop file when I realize that the battery capacity parameter was not the same as my hardware listed.
The build.prop has been changed after the Eclair update and SE developer may have change the value for compatibility among all region handset. In Android 1.6 version, the battery capacity was set 1200mAH which is correct for my hardware, however in the latest update the battery capacity has been changed to 950mAH. So I decided to change back the value.
Requirement
- Rooted device
- Root explorer android application
- Android ADB
- Notepad+ windows application
Procedure
1. Connect your device, turn on debug mode on your android and run this command in italic.
adb pull /system/build.prop C:\
This will fetch file called build.prop from your android and store it at root of C: drive.
2. Open your case back and read the battery capacity. Mine is showing 1200mAh.
3. Now edit the build.prop using Notepad+ and change the parameter:
ro.semc.batt.capacity=1200
Change from 950 to the capacity of your battery.
4. Open Root Explorer and mount the /system folder to read-write (rw)
5. Store the build.prop file back to the X8 by running command:
adb push C:\build.prop /system
6. Reboot your X8 and see if you can get a better life.
