Hi,
I have a question about mobile standby. The last few days i noticed batterydrain and tried to find the problem. Standby uses about 48% of the battery ( 1 hour 10% battery from which 48% is standby) This isnt normal i hope. My HTC Hero has about 2-3% the phone isnt rooted because i wanted to make sure there are no hardware failures.
I already tried a hardreset 2 days ago and the problem isnt gone
Is there anything else i can try except calling LG and using VIP warrenty?
i have the 10a version with 20110223 baseband

On my account i removed the original bloatware straight away and still have a huge battery drain..
Yeah, i have the same problem. I've upgraded the band version, but I still have this massive radio drain. I hope some techsavvy people sees this.

i think its caused by the radio

Sometimes when you install or tun a program it stays in the active processes and it eats battery out. Go to sett/apps/running apps and manually kill what you think it shouldnt be running. Dont kill google services, system apps or keyboard!

It took me 4 days to figure this out. As a former Nokia user, I thought "Use wireless networks" under "Location & security settings" meant A-GPS, but no, it means the phone will triangulate between cell towers to get your location (and is actually pretty good in it). But the downside is that it drains your battery very quickly. I think my battery life at least doubled, or maybe even tripled after disabling this setting.
Could be auto-sync too, if you have it enabled.
Funny thing is, that the original LG weather widget eats even more battery (through Google Maps) than "Use wireless networks", nice work LG!

Mine's unrooted too, and I can't see anything else under "Battery use" other than cell standby eating huge amounts of juice. Guess it's right, since the phone uses cell radio to get your location, but it sure was tough (for me at least) to figure out why cell standby was so heavy on battery.
I used setcpu with 1 rule :
Screen of :
max 312
min 216
and the result was less than 1% after 1 Hour without 3G ... My Internetflat expired so i'll test it tomorrow with 3G
I dont use location from wifi etc, i used to do so on htc hero and hero lasted 2 days medium use.
just called LG helpdesk netherlands and must say im not impressed. Totally zero knowledge of android and phones, called to times both kind of unsatisfied by the answer. New try tomorrow because i want a proper solution from them. Lucky me and dutch warrenty laws

Hi, my phone was pretty a drainer too, at least 30-40% gone after I wake up.
So what I did was I froze up apps like the F-secure, SmartShare, email...etc, tried extreme setting in juicedefender, and removed the stock weather clock. And wow, after 6 hours of idle, it just used 4% battery.
Hi.
Strange thing to me.
i've just rooted and remove fsecure ect...
the program that run abitually are
Email LG, BW, gosms, alarmdroid, elixir, gmail, scoremobile,phono and FB.
yesterday: at 17.00 the battery was 100%..
i've used the phone normally, and at the 1'00 the battery was 62% about.
This Morning, at the 7.00, the battery was gone. 0%, phone was off...
How use more than 50% of battery in stand by?!
the other night the battery goes down at least 10%...
i don't understand...

Is anybody experiencing really high battery use when the phone should be sleeping?
The battery life on my p970 is crap!
With all services and apps stopped or closed it uses 100% battery with wifi on and over a 3g network (data off) within 24 hours. I'm not even using the phone in these 24 hours, its just been left on the side after a full charge... 23 hours and 2 minutes later and its dead.
I can get almost 50 hours out of my desire s with light>moderate usage, it was the same with my optimus one and moto defy.
So why does the phone use soooo much battery when it should be sleeping?
A 1500mah battery should easily give 2 days with light usage on froyo... But under 24 hours with no usage at all?
Are you using optimus launcher? Mine was the same, but since i change to go launcher and uninstall some.of stock widget and apps it's got better.. got 36 hour medium use.... It consumes 5% in 7 hour idle (when i sleep)..

Well, i've rooted it and removed a bunch of widgets and services including LG home (as launcherpro was installed). Left it on the side for just under 2 hours and it's gone down from 51% to 32%, an 19% drop...

I rooted mine, uninstalled a bunch of LG apps and widgets and removed apps i do not need, even Titanium Backup. I'm getting great battery now. After 38hours it's at 64% with light use.
I suggest getting a system monitor app to see what is using up resources when idle. I've used System Panel but i also hear good things about Whatchdog which has a free Lite version.
It's definately software related.
Try hard reset. If that does not work then root your phone and freeze or uninstall somewidgets, carhome etc...
Check your battery usage in Settings. I found out that my gallery app was using up all the battery. Make sure that your Picasa Sync and Google+ Instant Upload features are turned off. These two services use your Gallery all the time apparently...
its definitely a software problem with LG, before my OBlack would last only 24 hours even with 3G and wifi off (wtf!)
but after i killed all the services relating to LG (go to settings>applications>manage services) its now at 75% after 17 hours with 1 hour of wifi usage and some calls

Or just root the phone and uninstall LG crapware.
I just plugged in my phone after 3 days 15 hours and 29 minutes of use and i even had 18% left. That's 87 hours of use. I admit that it is light use, but i use it.
But you need to know which are safe to uninstall. I don't want to make system unstable or unusable.

Whoaa 3 days??? Did you disabled background data and turning off data and turned on only if you wanna use internet? Or no widget(s) installed?
Oh yeah I want to add another one reason why the phone battery drained out fast > carrier signal strenght and quality. If carrier's signal is not stable, your phone might have to work harder to maintain it to keep connected.

Hi There OB Users,
Just curious about your battery life.
Please post how long your battery can last.
What ROM and apps you using.
Mine can last roughly 20 hours on low usage (3G ON)
With Wifi ON, it's about 10 hours.
I'm using an app called "2X Battery" (can be found on market)
I'm running NOVA 4.5 ROM
Really appreciate it.
NOVA 4.5
Last three days I didn't use that much my phone so I could test how long does it go without charging.
Calling ~3min
WiFi - 5min
Camera - 10 photos
Winamp - 2h
Display was on about 1.5h
Other apps (no games) that don't use internet - 20min
At 5% I had to charge it for next day. So 95% = 2 days 18 hours. It would be 3 days if I didn't look what time is that often.
But for "normal" every day use, it's 1.5 days. I don't use internet because it's slow in my city (and it's optional for my plan). And at this moment I don't have WiFi router at home (I broke antenna).
Hey there.
here: NOVA v4.5
I use my phone a lot, like 2 hours of 3G network (lot of whatsapp, and quick web search). 3G aways ON
1 hour of calling
3 hours of music
The battery life is about 10 hours.
It would be great if i have at least a day, using it like i do.

Check if you have apps which refreshes between intervals (or even push notifications) and avoid them.. the best solution is to disable Wi-fi and, if you are not a demanding person by others, switch to airplane mode while you sleep!
EDIT: If it doesn't work, just go to recovery and clear dalvik cache

Unfortunately, along with many of the downsides of CyanogenMOD, battery life is an absolute joke. I think you'd be lucky to get over 24h of usage on that ROM. I have no idea why, but it seems that it sucks the life from your phone WAY too quickly.
For those having battery life issues, I'm on Zeus 6.11o and i've increased my battery life by just:
Using a good governor (smartassv2) to control CPU usage when screen off.
Recharging from dead to 100% seems to increase battery life.
And after using playerpro for an hour, surfing the net, using NBA.tv, 3G always on, an hour or so of Kairosoft gaming and i'm currently at 73%.
So life's good under the hood.

thank you very very very much it totally works! and i'm start use my phone in 2G.
Hey guys, just got my O2x a week ago and its great. It was flashed with 2.3 and at some point I tested updating using LG Suite and I went to 2.2.2
Anyway, just asking if how long do your batteries (stock) last? Tested mine about 3 days ago and within a day it got drained. Just using browser and played some music and that's it, no Youtube or heavy games or whatsoever. Already rooted my phone and removed everything that LG has there except for the keyboard, Suite, Mobile Support, and Home Launcher. Still, same results. Please help!!
I have been using the free version of juice defender and that has help my battery a little so I now cab get a good couple of days out of it. The free version only really stops data when the phone is locked but it seems to work quite well. I also installed juice plotter to see when my battery gets eaten.
Thanks will do that. So basically battery drains more if mobile data is on? Haven't really experience that on my old phone (which is not Android OS).

I had to charge mine every night and sometimes 2 times a day.
Now, on a GB ROM, and with mobile data OFF, it last for at least a day (24h). This is with WiFi on (when awake of course).
Install a widget to quickly turn on/off mobile data, and only use it when you need. Then your battery will not drain that quickly.
Sorry for my bad english
My battery "record" is over 2 days Well, actually allmost 4 days, but then I didn't have WiFi on neither..
Mobile data is the killer only for badly done apps. Things like fb and twitter that sync every hour etc. Make sure when you install every app you check its sync status. Make them as infrequent as possible
Also try see how low you can get the brightness. Mine stays at 30% until out in the sun (have a widget to up it).
Remember even if not using your phone at home etc to switch tho wifi on as its much better
On good days can get 30/40 hours between charges when low use
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Worth to mention is that to get the less battery drain from turning on the wifi you have to turn of the data. Some people forget that and leave both on making it a double drain.
My only tip that I have that I know works is use it as little as possible. Turn off every thing that's not needed in the matter of syncing.
I'm no expert but is that right? All of the data goes through the wifi when on and connected so data connection is irrelevant surely?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Thanks for the input and somehow, I can feel the effects now. Also put LBE Security and turned off most mobile data permission on my apps and even if my Wifi is on, not much of a battery drain but at least it has less loss.
i think that 1day is the real time of this battery with 1charge...intense use...

Yes when wifi is on data is automatically off.... You cannot have both on...
Wifi is no very power consuming when it's connected idle to a network, but think to turn it off if no hotspot is there because network scan drains a lot.

O_O My phone came with v20c 2.2.2 and had no issues, ran 3days per charge. Wish I had backups of original ril and BB for they were 100% on any I've tried since going through a bunch of custom roms.
I get 10 hours of *idle* time with 3g enabled. With Juicedefender things are okay, I almost always make it through the day and sometimes even 2 days when I'm not doing anything, but the battery just goes nuts if you use it. Sometimes I browse the web for a minute and bam 5% is gone, and I'm thinking to myself "what the hell just happened?".
You have to be very careful with apps that do not close properly. I discovered that Spotify was draining my phone like crazy and causing it to become very hot (draining it even faster, heat = dead battery in no-time) with no way to prevent this other than uninstalling the app. Then I installed a beta version of Spotify from their website and all is well. AccuWeather also goes nuts sometimes but that's resolved by deleting the widget on my home screen.
I run the latest nightly of CM7. Battery life seems to be about the same as the stock ROM for me. What's interesting is that active 3g data use drains the battery more than playing a game. I can play emulated PSX games for about 5 hours straight on a full battery with data controlled by JD.
Everyone should try the latest rom v20e (or the derivated version topogigi's rom). For me, it improves battery a lot! I don't even use Juice defender (and some people said it worsens battery).
v20e
yes Im on V20e and my battery is preety good !
Almost 2 days and I write almost 100 messanger/day and always wifi on checking emails,fb and more !
Hey guys, haven't posted since testing for about week, I guess...
Anyway, battery seems to be ok now. Juice Defender and Plotter works great, plus now on sleep, it just drain 1% per 2-3hrs or sometimes nothing at all, and its not SOD thats for sure.
Also tried Battery Calibration, it worked somehow also so with lots of messaging, wifi, FB, Tap Sonic, plus downloading torrents, lasted 24hrs in full charge with constant use.
2g + Wi-Fi drains the battery much faster than 3G + Wi-Fi for me. Both have a good signal strength.
Anyone know why this is?
For me I switch off all my WiFi and 3g and turn powersavemode app on works like a charm 15% battery drain over 7hours....
Any tips on how to save battery w/o having to switch off WiFi/3g?

I don't know man "a bit" is no accurate thing but I thing I have almost the same battery usage... I do a lots of txts...
now, for the overcharging... as far as I know all [or almost all] new electronic stuff that needs to recharge has a sensor for voltage and power, so when the batt is low or empty it tell you is the same when is fully charge it tells you and "cuts" the power supply... if you have some time look at your phone when is charging, when at 100% it tells you and "cuts" power, a few mins later it will be at 99% and inmidiatly starts charging again
6 hours sleeping it only drain about 2% from 37-35 yesterday

I honestly don't know how are you manage to get such low power consumption on your phones. Just today I unplugged my phone little more than 5 hours ago. I did absolutely nothing with it, it just lied on a table and I'm already down from 100 to 84%. Just to be clear, for those 5 hours wifi, gps and 3G was off all the time. I'm on stock Froyo 10e, some of the LG bloatware removed and replaced with so called energy efficient apps from the market (3g watchdog, battery monitor widget). The only two original LG widgets that I use are weather & clock (with manual updated weather) and contacts. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong but my phone with really minimal usage can't last more than 1 day .

Apparently cos our stock charger is only 4.8v and our batteries are 5v/1500mah so if we use a 5v charger somehow it helps with better charging and battery life, I'm using a bbm charger which is 5v

well i root my phone then removed the system applications using -system app remover.
im getting a much better battery backup . at least 30-40 % better . as far as the stand by is concerned .
i play a lot of games and text a lot so phone does not last over 1.5 day now ,
earlier it was one day only.
so im relatively happy with this phone because the battery backup is better now.
hope a software update to gb will help even more
do you guys have a battery percent number of 99%?
my phone ALLWAYS skips the 99.. it goes from 100 to 98 in 10 min after doing nothing..
(it's in the nova rom, its with official stock and it's with cyano.. and batt stats are renewed enough..)
PS: not to mention how poor my phone is daily.. chargng in the night.. at the end of the day 20% (too little to have all day at school, too much to power it up at night.. )

Apparently cos our stock charger is only 4.8v and our batteries are 5v/1500mah so if we use a 5v charger somehow it helps with better charging and battery life, I'm using a bbm charger which is 5v

Ah ok! I use 5v charger since i bought the OB. I charged it only 2 or 3 times with original charger and the battery life was a little lower than 5v charging
I reboot mine every morning. It seems to make some sort of background task started by alarm or something.
A normal day at work leaves me with 80% left.
If i don't reboot it will eat up the juice in just 5 hours.
Also juice defender helps quite a bit.

K this has been helping me with my battery alot
1) install a new rom
2) using 5v charger
3) installing a firewall and prevent unnecessary stuff from connecting to 3g
4) uninstalling task killers(takes alot to restart the apps you killed)
5) uninstall battery monitoring apps (surprisingly)
6) use stock included lock screen
--------------------------------
Added:
7) uninstall anti virus apps*if you dare* (cos from what I understand Android has a sandbox type thing which traps viruses sorta so unless you go to alot of dodgy sites often you wont need it, imo a firewall is enough)
8) Turn off automatic updating for apps in the market
9) Turn off un-needed snyc features but do not turn off the "Background data" sync and "Auto sync" under the General sync settings or you might face problems going to certain sites, instead turn them off individually via the "manage Accounts" menu (I turn off mail snyc, fb snyc, watsapp snyc, contacts snyc)
Personally this had helped me alot in terms of battery....

Hi everyone,
I brought this wonderful phone (or atleast i thought wonderful) couple of weeks ago ( delivered on release date)
Now i expected the battery to be good as its 2300 mah but it the phone doesnt seem to last no way near as long as other claim i had an s3 before this htc one, 9 times outta 10 i only had to charge it once a day and never activated power saver mode,
On the htc one i constantly have power saver turn on and it just doesnt seem to be doing anything , i havnt changed my usage of my phone, if anything ive used it less,
For example the s3 lasted my full 8 hour shift with nothing running expcept the tunein radio app, the htc one only seems to last 4-5 hours with everything closed except the tune in radio app. Ive not changed networks so low signal shouldnt be causing the drain as there isnt a difference in signal levels,
So is there anything else i can do to stop bettery draining. Bluetooth, wifi, nfc, etc all turned off, screen on auto brightness ,
Sent from my htc one with just 26% battery left and i havnt even rrached 4 hours of my shift yet, left house at 9:45 with 100%
You probably have an app preventing the phone from sleeping. There are loads of tutorials on how to check for partial wake locks to fix this.

Try this or this to detect the wakelocks. For more info on wakelock, read this thread
Definitely sounds like you have an app which is preventing the phone from sleeping and you should be getting a pretty easy 1 day out the battery at the very least in moderate use.

How have you TuneIn setup.
As general when you press pause rather than stop, itt continues to record that station and is always active. Iif you go into the app settings and turn off 'autostop recording' which should be defaulted to 8 hours - turn this to never and try again to see if it improves. I've seen TuneIn eat battery life on other devices where ths happens (people thinkits stopped when its just paused and recording away in the background...
That's possible ^^^^, however if he was just to hit exit on the app it should stop the services. That and really want to be sure, swype it away in the multitasking section.
Can try Betterbatterystats in the play store as a lot of people rave about that.
Also make sure Google Now is disabled. It sucks battery life like no other. Awesome tool, however to much drain on the battery.

Would be great if you posted a picture of the battery use. You must have a wake lock.

Guaranteed that you have horrible wakelock issues. Rogue apps, bad settings, and anything in between could be the cause.
I can go to bed with the phone fully charged and, 8 hours later, wake it up to see it's still at 100% (mobile data, GPS, WiFi left active.)
Once I'm bored of constantly picking it up and playing with it (i.e. get back to standard usage patterns) I get the feeling it will likely run to 3 or more days between charges. Won't be this month though

The Same happens with my phone.
The battery is really good. It feels like it is the battery time of my Onex x3

Well there are various reasons for this..Maybe an app that drains much battery not leaving cpu to sleep.You can download better battery stats and see the wakelocks and the cpu states that your cpu runs on.. You may also need a battery calibration.It will not increase the battery capacity of course but it will eliminate the faulty battery stats bin that tells the system the battery percentage.You may have for example 25% battery left and your device may show 2% or even close.
I assume that you do not have wifi always on, screen on for hours or using mobile data..The consumption of battery is huge.

how ? when u first got the phone ? did you turn it on or did you charge it?
Worth dialling *#*#3424#*#* and doing the battery test, although as everyone else has said it's more than likely an app.
I had a sgs2 over 2 years,rooted and optimized in battery usage, i was already happy. Now with the htc one it's a completely new experience....already now after a few days,with root but still no tweaks i get 60% left at 11pm!before the sgs2 was empty...can't wait
For fiture developement!!

Download Better Battery Stats, leave it for a day and then upload a screenshot of your wakelocks. My battery is easily lasting the day (ended at 11pm at 76% yesterday)
Same-ish problem.
Hey i'm having a similar problem,
I bought the HTC One (silver, 32Gb) A couple of days ago and the battery isn't even lasting a day with what I'd say as Medium/light usage. I do leave Mobile data on so i can get Skype/Facebook/line calls ect instantly, but i assumed that's normal.
I just left my phone alone for an hour with the screen off and it lost 4%, could this be a battery defect?
Are you telling me to get over a days usage, i have to leave mobile data turned off and only turn it on when i want to use Skype ect?
I saw a post above that one guys gets 3 days of usage with Mobile date, Wifi, etc all turned on. Is this the norm, or does he have a super hero battery?
I see the general consensus is to download "Better Battery Stats" and send pics of wakelocks, but Is there comparable app for free that will do the trick, as i don't have money currently on my English account.
Thanks to all those taking time out of their own lives to help others.
