Battery Time a little depressing - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys i dont know if this is normal but i seem to be running through my battery like crazy. i took a 10 minute drive and used the mp3 player with screen off. Just that ride used 4 %. Maybe im just not use to it because the iphone 4 seemed to have great battery life or maybe a bad battery.

I am on the ROM in my signature.
But one thing, since I use data more for like emails and not heavy downloads, I am EDGE most of the time.
On a side note, I put on a movie in loop to see the battery drain. I got near to about 5 hours of movie before the video player shut down saying low battery (I think this message comes up when battery is like 15%).
See my battery stats I noted. The post is in the thread of the ROM I am using.

What you are experiencing is very common with new Captivates. Give it a few complete charging cycles (completely drain the battery from 100% and charge it back to 100%). My battery life began to significantly improve within about two weeks. I'm now getting a pretty solid 24 hours out of a charge and I'm on my phone a lot. Also, one of the benefits of these phones over the iphones is the easily accessible battery. Do yourself a favor and buy a couple of batteries and a wall charger from ebay. The package will cost about $20 and will ensure that you will never worry about running out of juice ever again.

standby battery drain?

Sooo. I have had my Optimus 2X for 2 days now. I charged the phone fullt before goint to bed and left wifi on. (should turn off when phone sleeps)
The first night i lost about 3% of the battery. Great....
But... The second night i lost 42%!!!
I have been trying to investigate the issue and after some digging with spare parts i found out the wifi was on all the time the second night... Also for some reason car home allways runs in the background (starts at boot and restarts if killed) and spare parts claims car home uses the phone sensors 100% of the time.
Anyone else having battery draining issues?
Im going to charge 100% again tonight and run with no installed user apps. If the problem persists i try and freez some of the loads of sys apps that run in the background all the time.
I also noticed some battery drain on mine but not over 40%... its more like 20%. The battery really disappoints me anyway. I have to recharge two or three times a day?l maybe thr battery needs to get trained over time, I hope...
You found a solution yet?

My battery already holds up alot better now, then when i got the phone four days ago.
About 60-70% left after a 14 hour day with some surfing, benching and calling/texting. Much better then my Desire on stock ROM, but still nowhere near the Desire on custom ROM.
Looking forward to some community goodness
BTW, removing carhome.apk seems to make quite the difference.

Quick question about best used on the battery ...
Should we dry the battery to 0 for the first cycle ?
Or only to 20% ?
Is it bad if we start to charge the phone whent the battery is at 60% ?
On the contrary:
modern Li-Ion batteries don't like it if you discharge them to a minimum. Moreover they don't have the memory effect that you seem concerned about.
In a nutshell: Charge your phone whenever you can, at any charge level. Your battery will thank you.
On the first few charges though, you should always charge to 100% to help the battery gain her full efficiency
hey thx about those informations
but then i'm concerned about people saying stuff like "have been doing 3 life circle" for me it does mean they put the battery dry clean ...
Went to bed with 64% charge on the battery. When I woke up (8 hours later), still 64%.

What's your usage like?
Hmm... My phone last for 6 hours before drained... Had it for a week now... Takes about 2 hours to fully charge up again..
I even hardreset, turned of wifi etc... but alas, 6 hours and it was out of power again...
And that was just by being in standby.
If I actually use the phone, I can see the percentages going down from 100 - 0 in no time..

My battery is useless to. Yesterday ive charged my phone 3 times hehe.
On moday I'll send it to the service as DOA.
Gonna try getting a new battery tomorrow... Hopefully it isnt the phone that is faulty...
2:nd day in my phone lasted about 5.5 h before I hade to recharge. Turned off the option for applications to sync and 20 hours later im at 32%

Is this normal on LG Optimus 2X aka Speed?

Hi all,
With lot of enthusiasm i bought this phone last saturday but now very disappointed ....
I had most of the android phones since G1 era but never looked back.....
This phone is disappointing me with just 6 hours of battery life even with moderate use.....
Tried all custom roms but no use.....
My question is that do u also have this battery problem and its common or do u think i have a diffective phone ?

I used my phone today for twitter, emails, few calls, whatsapp. From 7.00 am till now 11.03 pm (23:09) i have still 43%. But it is for smartphones normal to charge every day. Not the forget: my screen is on max. brightness.

In my case the phone lasted outstanding 3.5 hours the first time I charged it.
After that it is much better. One day I finished charging the phone around 10:00 in the morning and 22:00 in the evening had 30% battery left. During that time I took 40 photos with it, did some internet browsing, few messages, played some games, also used GPS for a while, so the battery should last 12+ hours of normal usage.

I am getting my phone today and Ill keep that in mind. Thank you!
Just for the record, it can last for a LOONG time if you let it.
I forgot my charger when i went on easter holiday, shut off all data transferrs etc (since i was in a different country anyways) and only 2G network.
Phone lasted for 4 days before i could charge it, and it still had 30% left.
I've heard the first few battery cycles aren't too good but get better, I was a very heavy user when i initially got it so i can't comment

hahaha mine lasts for 2 weeks but was closed
U ever touch this phone
It would obviously last for days if your hardly touch it
All I want is for it to last one entire day (about 15 hours?) on heavy usuage (surfing, texting, social networking). I hardly play games nor use the music player (have an mp3 player for that )
The iPhone 4 was perfect for me in this aspect. The battery lasted 1 full day no matter how heavily I used the device. No, I am not a fanboy but I just like how well iOS manages power.
After the iPhone 4, I had the Dell Streak and with Juice Defender installed, it was pretty decent too. I dont know why I am here in the first place. I still havent gotten my 2X yet. Its supposed to arrive in a few hours. Ill try it out and let you guys know how well it performs.
Cheers.

You should disable "Auto-sync", disable "Automatic brightness". And what ever apps you install, dont let it auto-sync or auto-update, then you should be good. Now, it dont even drain my battery that much even thought the dataplan was on most of the time.

if i disable all and off all the apps, then y do i need this phone??
and yesterday night (12 AM to 8 AM), my battery was down by 50 % in idle
as suggested by other friends lets see until this weekend if i can see any improvement on battery front.....
If you battery goes down 50% in idle overnight then obviously you have some sort of application running rogue and preventing the phone to actually go to its sleep state. Which would also explain the heavy battery drain during daytime use.
Mine use 2-3% at the most in idle overnight - and I have no troubles whatsoever to get a full days heavy use - usually I get 2 days with moderate use. I also have an Iphone4 and my LG have better batterylife than my Iphone4, my LG also has better batterylife than my HTC Desire.
I also bought an O2x for my 17year old son - who is a very heavy user, music and videoplayback, games and constantly texting - his phone also lasts a full day with no troubles.

I rooted my standard LG O2X, then i removed the crap that LG brought on default..
(Twitter/Myspace/Facebook for LG, LG Home, LG AppAdvisor, FSecure Scanner etc etc)
Now my battery life is without further mods about 30-40 hours with calling, texting and some browsing (wifi enabled)
If you ask 1000 persons how long the battery life of their lg ox2 is you will get at least 500 answers
I can say at beginning i was shocked, but after some days the battery life gets better. Atm after 4 weeks i can say my battery lasts at least one day, depends on the degree of usage...
By the app "Ultimate Juice Defender" you can increase the battery life by factor 1.5. (sometimes i can use it for 2-3 days without charging)
Remember : If you drive a Ferrari you have to refuel a lot
No smartphone differs much from that...

Correct - and you may have some luck seeing if Watchdog can pick it up. Otherwise, charge your phone, and turn it off, then turn it on, and unplug it just before you go to bed. In the morning, you can check what application used most of the battery.
Mine uses about 1% per hour at night with JuiceDefender. Before I installed JuiceDefender the battery would go from 30% to dead overnight, preventing my alarm from going off.
JuiceDefender lets me get through the day. More specifically if you let JuiceDefender disable the data connection when the screen is off. You'll still get Whatsapp messages / emails etc if you let it sync every 15 minutes or so, without excessive battery drain.
Web browsing is also a super battery killer, I swear the battery goes down 1% per minute while browsing.
I have used many android phones and never used this juice defender..... actually i hate stop using apps for battery.... android is made out of apps....
Currently i have taken out my SE Arc and using it which is giving me 1.5 days of battery with heavy usage.... i will reset the LG phone this weekend and see, if not i would have to sell this hog......

For me there were a few apps that were stealing my battery away. Like IM+, Skype, etc. You could see that in the secret menu "how much time has this app kept the phone from sleepin".
If I turn on flight mode (no more connection) it doesnt even care when it lays there for two nights. I lost about 5% in two days without plugging it in AT ALL.
But that's not the POINT of this phone. You don't have it so you turn off everything and spoil your fun.
THE POINT IS *smashes desk* TO HAVE THOSE APPS.
If I couldn't be IM'ed all day where would the point of the phone go? For me... away.
I have had it for like 3 weeks now. When I have those things on in the background, it doesnt even last like 9 hours. It just runs flat without me even using it a lot.
Once it went so far out it died in like 3 hours WITHOUT ME USING IT. It started to run hot without any reason and draining the battery like I attached a freaking laptop with a dedicated Nvidia CPU to it. It drained the battery faster as if I was using it! I haven't yet found out what causes this. Sometimes it does it and runs empty on it.
Oh well D:

Battery use

Can somebody help me out here? My battery life is really bad, today I lost about 10% battery indicator 4 hours with the phone lying in my pocket! When I use the phone its even worse. I am on cm7 nightly 09302011, and it seems like everyone brags about the battery life, just not me. 3g always on, bluetooth off, background data on, autosync off, no live wallpaper and å clock widget. What could be wrong?

Are you using a custom Kernel? Since installing the NeoBlaze kernel my phone has started using power on idle.. last night it used 40% charge while completely idle and not in use..
I don't really care because I carry 2 batteries around with me at all times, but it does seem changing around roms/kernels messes with battery life. Perhaps you just need to hit up eBay, batteries can be had for $2.80 shipped.
Without Juicedefender, 10% in 4 hours with no use is actually pretty good for this phone.. I'm jealous. I get that kind of battery life with data OFF most of the time.
No custom kernel. Thought I read in the forum that ppl got like 3% loss overnight. Maybe thats without data...

get widgetsoid and turn your data on and off (and 2g/3g) on and off quick and easy.

Battery lasts REALLY long at 1% battery life?

The other day I was trying to kill my battery, so I let a movie stream from Google Play until it died. It lasted TWO HOURS after the battery hit 1%. Yes, two hours of moving streaming on 1% of battery. See attached screenshot for proof (see the flat line at 1%).
Then, two days ago, I tested again. This time I just let it sit at 1% to see how long it would take to die. It took over 10 hours!! See other screenshot for proof.
Anybody else seeing anything similar? Clearly, when my battery says it is at 1%, it really has about 10-15% battery left.

Same here. I have a plug sitting here and the Moto X next to it and it's so routine to just plug in the GNEX, I want to do the same with the X but I don't have to.
I dont think this is necessarily a bug, I think it takes time for the OS to learn the full scope of the battery - it is always just estimating the charge. I bet after 6 months of use that 1% glitch would go away and you would see more accurate battery reporting. My phone appears to gain %'s when i leave it be after heavy use.

Yep same here, phone went from 4% to 7% yesterday when I was trying to make it last. I had turned off Mobile data at 1% battery life yesterday and my phone was dead within 25-30 minutes of being on 1%. I think everyones phone/battery is calibrated differently. With moderate use I'm down to 25-30% left after about 8-9 hours of use. Coming from my S4 I'm so used to being able to Greenify things, I can only imagine what this phone would be like with Greenify.

My phone is having this exact problem. I get about 10-12 hours battery life down to 1% battery, then it stays on 1% for at least 10-12 more hours. Does anyone know if there is going to be a fix released for this? It messes with my head not knowing when my phone is going to die, and I don't want to charge it if it's not dead. For instance, I'm on 2d 5h 14m on battery and it's been on 1% all day. It's pretty insane. Hope they roll out a fix. Glad to know i'm not the only one with this problem.
Next time this happens log your current and voltage readings using current widget so we can see what voltage the battery reads during this flat period at 1%. Then someone could plot the discharge curve in excel. May lead to clues. Perhaps problem with the fuel gauge or battery driver in the kernel. It all depends.
I seem to remember reading that the battery meter tunes itself over the first few charges, and that for the best accuracy you need to run it all the way down then charge it to 100%. 2-3 cycles of this is what was recommended. Can't speak to the validity of it but I know after running it down the first time and seeing the 1% last nearly 2 hours with heavy game use, on the second charge 1% meant 1%.

I'm on my second cycle of running it all the way down now, so we will see after the first 2-3 times if it calibrates itself. If not, i may be bringing my phone back, or ask verizon if they are going to be releasing a fix for it.
Really take it back for that?

Note 4 hardcore battery draining and other oddities..

I just got my Note 4 second hand. The phone (outside of this battery issue) works fine. I am having crazy battery draining. I am running Rapture 2.3, so far I am getting the most battery life out of that. I installed wakelock detector, better battery stats, gsam. I'm no expert, I can not explain from the info these apps are giving me what the issue is. I am leaning toward the battery being faulty. I lean this way because even with the phone off, the phone charges weird. Even on different chargers. The battery charges pretty quick till it hits about 80% (about an hour). After that, we are talking 5-6 additional hours to hit 93%. Only turning the phone on will the battery get to 100%, but only after a big jump. Like and hour sitting at 94%, then it'll jumping to 100%.
WLD says my awake is low, 1013 apparently is a "ok" wakelock (the worst one), my radio seems off to me. Please take a look at these screenshots. Any info you need please ask, and any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Gotta read all the threads that exist already. It is how ur gonna learn. Was more screenshots are needed. Wake lock detector has many other sides to it. Also use better battery stats and charge it with the factory charger and then show us a screen shot of when it hit 5% of all the screens. Screen wake lock CPU wake lock triggers

I have researched for four solid days before posting this. If you read my post, I have everything you suggested already installed. If there is a specific thing you wish see a screenshot of I'll gladly post. I can post again at 5% it'll be there soon. If thats really going to make a difference with 60%+ loss with only 47 minutes of SOT...
This is not a problem where a solution has been presented that worked for me. If you know of one I should see please point me to it.
In 47 min u dropped 30% not 60% if so then ur screen shots are not accurate. Not having a good base to start with will only have people who are trying to help u running in circles.

I can post anything else I have.
I don't see any problems. Do you expect a week on one charge?
I just thought that it seems like I get no screen time. Stand by time seems OK. But it's like this with almost no apps installed. Should my radio be running all the time like that?
Radio will always be running if you have cell service. I see no real issues minus the fact that you play a lot of games. Most games crank up all CPU .ur getting a day with phone and that is fair

Thanks. I just thought the charge dropped so fast when I wasn't really using it. And took forever to change. The batteries are only $15 so I picked up another.

You can get more life out of battery but u sacrifice use. Sot means nothing at all. It how u wanna use the phone. My GPS is on all day WiFi on all day Bluetooth on all day connected to my watch. Brightness is half way I use my phone a lot. I happy with it I don't worry much about screen time but yes if u hit 60% in 40 min then you do have a big issue.

I hope it's just the battery. I'm certain there is a problem though. If I take powersave off, my phone gets warm, and my battery drains 10-15% hour with no apps running . I only have the monitoring apps and 3 board games installed on the phone, running on the most stripped down rom I could find.

What ROM you running. Also remember all those apps run even when phone is off to log all the wake ups
