I have a SE w800. My battery drains after 14-16 hours of use. It doesn't really matter if i listen to music or just let it stand by. Even when my phone is powered off the battery drains. The battery is like new, it has 2 months of use and still in warranty, so i don't really know what the problem is.
Anyone ?!
Thx

It may be fake battery... Try with another one if you have opportunity. If it is the battery causing the problem you should change it. And if you decide to mess with the software (firmware) here is a flashing tutorial:

I think i have the last version of firmware R1BC002 so i don't need to update.
I was thinking of trying an older version of firmware ?!
My battery is SE original, 2 months of usage

No I didn't meant a firmware update. The current firmware you have may be corrupted and causing problems. You can reflash the phone with the same firmware version again. But with fresh files and all software issues should be gone. And if your problem is software related if should be fixed.
