Higher battery consumption! - LG Optimus 2x

I need a little help or some improvment for my problem. I'm using original stock ROM Anrdoid 2.2.2 for LG Optimus 2X. I did a root and also I flashed custom kernel with OC and UV. My battery consumption is too high I think. When I'm not using the phone, battery consumption is about 60mA !! This is too high. When i bought this phone I had battery consumption about 3mA in standby mode! I think that this is because of new kernel. What do you think? Or how to remove this kernel?

overclocking leads to higher consumption. maybe try a different power profile...
not sure how to remove the kernel, you probably need to flash the stockrom again with the nvidia flash tool or so...
how do you measure the battery usage? would like to see what i get.

I'm using a very great and simple program - Pimp my CPU. Here I can set own values. My settings are this:
Min values: 500Mhz/800mV
Max values: 1200Mhz/1150mV
Power is great but with a higher battery consumption on standby mode. With default stock kernel it was about 2-3mA. Now I have 45mA~60mA
EDIT: I'm waiting to official release of Gingerbread for our Optimus 2X. This FW (Android 2.2.2) isn't good choise for dualcore procesor

[Q] Best rom for battery life

Hello guys
I was testing the MIUI but the autonomy is very very bad , but the rom is very amazing !
For you which is the best rom for best autonomy on the optimus 2x ?
Cyanogenmod or stock custom ... ?
What do you mean by autonomy?

Sorry I mean "battery life".
Latest kang with CM7, 2 days light use.

I've had best experience so far with the Flair GB v4 Revolution rom, gives me 2 days with some use, including listening to podcasts and chatting on yahoo. That is, with juicedefender installed. Juicedefender is really a basic necessity for good battery life.
Guys,
Check the Blazing Dragon 2.1a and the tweaks with 999,Juwe script and HP 9 with PP9lite...gives me 3days and 10hrs....with light use, a little wifi , some pics and music.....amazing perf but yeah...Juice Defender is a great app....life becomes such a fantastic thing with these kind of good apps...
Stock V20M gives me very good battery life.
the new wajkiui rom is awesome, in my case i safe more battery than @cm7 or miui!

On stock rom or even Topogigi I had issues with standby battery life, phone would lose 5-10% per hour.
Now on CM7 I can idle for 10 hours overnight and lose 10% in total. Usage time is horrible and will always be horrible for these phones, best you can do is fix idle usage.
I get around 4 hours of screen on time with CM7. I carry 2 spare batteries with me though, good eBay investment for $2.80 each. Buy a charger too so you can charge them out of phone ($3.50)
Using the latest CM7-Kang (temasek) and Vadonka's Kernel : poor battery life for the last versions, Baseband is 218 and no task killer, no background apps like FB & so on...
Biggest drain is due to download and 3G
I tried CM7 stock (with 2/3 different kernels)
I tried with the Mugen 1700 battery, and the stock one
Tried with ext4 without journal, and some other tips...
Results are very similar... And the O2X (even with second core management tuned) and undervolted...
Now : defined some tasks with Tasker (switch to 2G, toggle mobile data)... some gain, but not very significant
Sad, and looking for a VERY good ROM that gives real batt'life, but I'm afraid it's hardware related on the o2x...
Heard that DjangoManouche & its kernels gives better batt'life (significant) and I'll probably give a try
(schedulers? I/O tweaks? mount options? voltages?)...
Try hybrid revolution. Its verry good for battery autonomy
for me civato is the best...
I am using Temaseks final KANG with Vadonkas latest LOC Kernel. No Tasker, no task killer, no Juice Defender. UV a little bit and set profiles with setCPU. Battery lasts 2 Days in light to medium use.
Hey guys! I'm sorry (lol) but i can assure without dubts that the best one for battery life is Djdroid v1.4 that you can find in android developmente section ^_*
I‘m using Alien Revolution 2.0 (based on CM7 KANG) I get 1 day of medium use (1h calls, 3G on half of the time, 15-30 min of games) I want to try WIUI now.

[Q] How-to maximize battery life > performance

Please suggest a way to maximize battery life while sacrificing performance(not too much of course).
I tried out various roms, one is problemish over another.
Kernels as well.
I'm on my 3rd full charge on my 3rd day of phone purchase so the battery should have regulated a little.
I tried AOSP by cile and the experience is great but not the battery, overnight 7 hours I dropped 27% of battery.
(greenify on + underclock to 1000mhz + pm.sleep_mode = 1)
Do recommend me a combo best for battery life.
(one needs a stable platform to stand on before moving on to development right?)

Battery life without touching phone - One Day

Hi guys,
I have Stock Android 4.1.2 with Iodak V06 kernel. Lately my battery life is astonishing! One Day without touching (if, barely) a phone, so I'm amazed by Nokia Lumia 720 battery life in heavy usage (3 days minimum). I tried to look at integrated battery life usage section, but nothing major. I tried to reboot phone many times, even under-clocked phone to 1.3GHz with Conservative mode in SetCPU. Maybe you can recommend any useful, good app to track my battery life? I'm pretty smart Android user, but I just don't know why my phone last so little. My last hope - install clean V20A and do LG Backup. Maybe fresh ROM with stock kernel will help.
Install betterbatterystats and look if there are wackelocks i think it is that

Truth about this phone it won't get any better regarding battery life. Stock ROM gives best battery life in my experience. But its performance is not as good as using cm10.1.2 stable release. Iodak kernel gives quite a few options to tweak. But I don't do it cause I can't precisely understand what the tweaks are, I use the kernel with no personal mods except for OC 1.7 mhz which I'm very satisfied by its performance.
The screen on this phone is to damn sharp and bright, the main reason of battery drainage falls into the screen's technology LCD. If this screen was superamoled, battery life would probably be a whole different story. Hope you get my point.

PimpYourKernel!! :D LG p880

Hi guys!! I was thinking about opening a thread where everyone can specify what's the better kernel setup, according to her/his own necessities, and share that configuration with all p880 community. Also, it can be submitted the relationship between the kernel and the ROM an user is running on the device, to compare performances and make each other more conscious about kernel tweaking. I think it's better to open it in general section, so everyone can write, without being scared by submitting something not related to developing.
This thread won't to be in any way a substitute of the "Battery life!" thread, so if anyone wants to post specifical results or screenshots about battery duration, please post them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2478514
Said that, the idea is to post a message like this:
KERNEL: name of the kernel you are using
ROM: the name of the ROM you are running
SETTINGS: the kind of settings you applied to your kernel (example: Governor=interactive, Scheduler=Sio, Multicore Power Saving=2,CPUquiet=balanced, LP Core uV=-15 mV, MPU uC=+20, and so on)
GOOD: the benefits you experienced with your configuration (the more specific possible)
BAD: the badness you experienced with your configuration
Of course, if the thread begins to grow up, is recommended to read everything before posting a configuration too much similar to another which have been posted yet.
If you think this is a good idea, press thanks, if you want, and let's begin posting, otherwise report it to moderators, like @laufersteppenwolf, and they will close this thread as soon as possible
If someone like @JoinTheRealms is interested to, I'd appreciate very much to create a section dedicated to the scripts, as a second post of the thread, maintained and refreshed by the author.. Let me know, and take your own space here, if you think it's good for you!
So, I'm starting posting my own last configurations:
1)
KERNEL: iodak v9.95
ROM: Beanstalk 4.4.2
SETTINGS: Governor=interactive, Scheduler=Sio, CPU max speed undercloked to 1300 Mhz, CPU max screen off frequency=370 Mhz, Multicore Power Saving=1 ,CPUquiet=balanced, LP Core uV=-30 mV all frequencies, MPU uV=-75 mV all frequencies
GOOD: this configuration improve battery life, without decreasing overall smoothness - suggested to the users who don't mainly use the phone for hard gaming and want to find a compromise between battery durability and overall performance
BAD: some little lags, here and there, randomly happen - I suggest to apply underclock, before changing cpu freq voltage, because this configuration is good for 1300 Mhz undercloked device, but it may cause system freezes on some cpu variants, if you set cpu clock up to 1600-1700 Mhz (tested)
2)
KERNEL: iodak v10
ROM: Beanstalk 4.4.4
SETTINGS: Governor=interactive, Scheduler=Sio, CPU max speed undercloked to 1300 Mhz, CPU max screen off frequency=620 Mhz, Multicore Power Saving=1 ,CPUquiet=balanced, LP Core uV=-100 mV all frequencies, MPU uV=-100 mV all frequencies
This configuration is very battery friendly, more than the last one I was using on iodak v9.95. Nothing is slowing down, btw

Lol, I'm using almost the same config.
Kernel: Iodak 9.9.5
Rom: Beanstalk 4.4.2
Settings: I haven't changed anything
Good: Very fluid and stable
Bad: battery life, Antutu 3D test score
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Kernel: 9.95
Rom: CM11 official
Settings: Max Frequency 1150 Mhz Cpu governor:interactive
mpu undervolt -100 on every freq (cpu variant 2, some hangs while waking the smartphone and I need to tap on the screen sometimes, if I press the power button the device won't wake up anymore until I restart it).
Congestion: westwood
Cpu quiet: runnable
Cpu max screen off freq: 475 Mhz
Good: less heat, more battery life, smooth experience
Bad: If I put 1300 Mhz as max freq the battery life will decrease.. And without 1300 Mhz as max freq I feel like cutting this smartphone's cpu potential.
Still bad battery life even with these tweaks, still disappointed, but so far this is my best configuration with Cm11 official.

The scripts i posted earlier, really shouldn't be take too seriously, mainly because they are written for ubuntu and require input. But when i get some time ill modify my post and give some examples of init.d scripts, or more specifically, the commands inside them. That should be somewhat more helpful i guess

Kernel: Optimus Play v2.53
Rom: CM11 official
Settings: Max frequency 1200 Mhz (sometimes I tried to put it at 1100 Mhz or even lower, 1000 Mhz, resulting in better battery life)
Congestion: cubic (since there's no westwood implementation in this kernel)
Cpu quiet: not implemented (I think it's put on runnable or balanced as standard)
Cpu governor: interactive
Multi-core battery saving: 1
Gpu frequency scaling: on
Good: awesome perfomances, the games and all the apps are very smooth and compared to the earlier configuration with iodak v9.95, this is very much better, but be aware that I'm trying to have perfomances and battery life balanced, and on iodak v9.95 I undervolted the cpu of -100mv resulting in some cases of hangs and crashes. Battery life is still good, but a bit worse than the iodak configuration.
Bad: Battery life's not very good, it goes harder on deep sleep when the display's off, iodak v9.95 is the best with deep sleep; in fact it takes a while before entering that state, it usually stays on low frequencies but it still consumes the battery.
An other aspect I noticed is that even when the smartphone is on charge, when I'm using it, it doesn't charge much, if ever it looses energy, which is explained by the very good performances of this kernel.
A small bug present in this kernel, and not in iodak, you usually need to double press the power button to wake the smartphone, but it's much better than risking to have your smartphone crashed while waking it up.
Overall: A very good kernel for performances, I don't know if it's the best but it's very good, battery life's "good" if not using the smartphone, otherwise it drains quite fast, I think faster than the undervolted configuration with iodak.
If you're looking for smoothness with games and apps I'd suggest this kernel, if you prefer battery life I'd suggest iodak more, but I remind you the hang problems on it if you decide to undervolt up to -100mv.
I tested both kernels with the same Rom and apps and use more or less, so I'm quite positive it's a good test.
I hope it helps and you can give us tips or suggestions to improve this smartphone's battery life, without losing perfomance. I think this is the thread's goal.
and yeah, every LG Optimus 4x hd possessor's dream is to have a good battery life so well, let's help each other and get the best out from this device, it's not **** yet in my opinion, it just really has a bad battery usage.
@KrisJoe Very good review! I hope many people will follow your example..comparing user's kernel usage and customizations is the better way to help everyone to find the needed configuration, and to let them make whatever they want, with their phone, on the best possible way

I just noticed something going back at iodak v9.95 to try peppe's configuration; on iodak v9.95 the temperature of the cpu is higher, there's a difference of at least 20° C more or less. Problem was that I went back to iodak because charging with optimus play v2.53 was a pain since instead of charging it wasn't. (Of course I mean while in use)
With iodak charging is flawless (I activated the fast charge option, which isn't present in Optimus Play).
Is it because of the fast charging option that's making the difference?
I'n trying the cpu undervolted by -75mv MPU and -30mv LPU, and it seems a bit laggier than the optimus play one, I can feel the difference just typing with the keyboard on the browser, but it's charging despite me using the smartphone.
What do you think it's the cause of the slow charge in optimus? And maybe more important thing, how is it possible that the cpu has a 20° C of difference between optimus and iodak but I keep the same frequency? I even undervolted with iodak, and in theory it should be the opposite situation, with iodak having lower temperature.

So, talking about charging, on iodak's kernel you have to consider two situations: if you are charging through USB port, you may experiment slow charging and battery consumption even while charging, if you use the phone in the meanwhile (so, using fast charge solves the problem, but it is recommended to do not use it too many often, if you want your battery to have a longer life)..the problem doesn't exist if you charge the phone through AC adapter, so the phone should charge at a normal speed, even if you use it, whit no fast charge necessity.
Talking about my configuration, yes, you may have some little lags, here and there, 'cause this is a battery saving configuration, more than a gaming performance one..
Finally, temperature: maybe the difference between the kernels is due to a different overall cpu voltage, or the temperature is not really precisely shown, honestly I don' t know for sure
Sent from my LG-P880 - Beanstalk 4.4.2 - Iodak 9.95 kernel - using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm using the ac adapter and with optimus play charging was a bit hard and slower than with iodak. With -75mv it seems I don't have problems with waking up the smartphone and it seems a bit smoother, maybe a placebo effect, but I think that it could be the limit of undervolting with variant 2 cpus.
Now that I didn't use the smartphone for while the temperature is lower (49-51° C), the high temperature was due to the 1500 Mhz used at the beginning because I deleted cache and dalvik before installing iodak again (to avoid problems). Let's see how it behaves in these days, but I'm a bit confident iodak's config is better for battery saving, even though with antutu benchmark I did 13000 with iodak and, and 12800 with optimus play (with battery saving and performance balanced). It may be a wrong test but I still wanted to give it a try.
Yep, I tried to uV MPU frequencies at -100 mV, and it freezed my phone, after some seconds or minutes..so, I also think CPU variant 0x2 has this uV limit..maybe it's possible to uV a bit more single frequencies, without causing freezes, but I had not the time to try to individually uV any single frequency

I was thinking that we should specify what runtime we're using, if Dalvik or ART because I actually felt some differencies. What about you? Do you feel any difference with using one or an other? Sorry for the off topic, but I thought we could talk about the runtime also since we'll looking for the best performance/battery life.
O.T.: Don't activate ART Runtime on the latest cm nightly (3rd of April 2014), it will force close some apps like uicall, dialer, ecc. I had to return to dalvik by installing an older version in which ART was working... quite unconvenient.
This is the best thread ever guys.

The only bad thing is that if i want to wake a the device it doesn't wakes for the first time and I have to press twice the power button.

Yes, everyone is free to talk about ART or Dalvik, of course, it's related to Rom customization, using or not using it! Personally, I'm not using ART, considering it's on an early, experimental stage, and I have no time to switch between the two runtimes, if something should go wrong with ART (I need this phone as my really daily driver, and I haven't too much time to experiment, ATM).. But every single accurate review, also explaining how runtimes work, with a specifical kernel and a specifical Rom, is appreciated here!

Try multicore powersaving=1, and a little undervolt, you should have benefits in terms of smoothness, without losing battery

KERNEL: Iodak 9.5 (I know 9.95 is newest but I prefer 9.5 as I think it's performance/battery ratio is better.)
ROM: CM 03/30 nightly
SETTINGS(variant1): CPU max: 1500 lowest freq.: 620 screen off max: 475. GPU freq max: 564 mhz
MPU undervolted by -122 mV and LP core undervolted by -10mV but lowest freq. voltage is on default and max freq is on 1230 mV due to 564 mhz GPU freq. ART enabled and Multicore powersaving is set to 2.
GOOD: A lot smoother than 9.95 and with these undervolting I've done, it can survive heavy gaming without throttling.I can say this setup is the best for gaming if you've got variant 1.
BAD: Battery life is a bit worse compared to stock kernel.But with ART enabled it's difficult to notice the difference.Plus if you underclock to 1300 mhz your phone will still be smooth while giving you better battery life.

I use volume rocker to wake the phone up as a workaround.Easy to reach it with your midfinger once you have the phone in your hand.Plus you get to press the power button less, extending it's life.
Edit : Incase you didn't know official CM and most of the custom ROMs have volume rocker wake option in settings > button or under some other category.

Now I'm testing some KK ROMs , and do the same thing using iodak kernel 9.95 and I'm liking the results.
Make a bakcup and test some KK ROMs.

Believe me, if you're using an LG phone, custom ROMs are ALWAYS better.
Stock ROM got too many bugs and I don't really like modified stock ROMs as people usually add more bloatware.
You should really give CM11 a try.Latest nightlies got very good performance with iodak 9.5 kernel.And no important bugs you should worry about.

If you use a custom kernel like iodak or ww, you can tweak many parameters. Among them there is cpu clock frequency and voltage.
Personally, I've set the stock 1500 mhz frequency and undervolted Mpu and cpu respectively by -30 and -75 mV. My phone runs smooth as silk and never gets horribly hot.
The guys who replied before me are right, though, stock roms or their derivates cannot be compared with CM11 in terms of performance they are way better. If I were you, I would flash one of the latest nightly and a custom kernel.
After some trials and errors you will be able to find the correct balance between over/underclocking and undervolting.
That is, if you are willing of doing some experiments. If you are looking for pre-cooked solutions I am afraid you will be deceived.

Tnx...which app do you. Use for undervolting and overclocking?

Trickstermod is a favorite for most of the people.Check your tegra variant, if it's 1 or above, you can use -122mV for CPU with no problems, max freq set to 1.5 ghz
I'm using this for months now and I sometimes forget my phone can get hot, unless I do heavy gaming for 30 mins or more.
Also try to overclock GPU.Helps a lot with FPS issues.
If you want good battery life and decent performance, underclock to 1300 mhz and undervolt by -122mV (if your variant is 1 or above)
Btw you can check your variant via /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/tegravariant after installing iodak kernel.Higher the variant, the higher you can overclock/undervolt.

My tegra variant is 3 o.o But when I undervolt 30mV on CPU and 75mV on MPU - as @peppethustra recommend in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2761923&page=2 - it causes freezes, even when I underclock to 1,3GHz :/

All phones are different you may have to tweak the values to fit your needs. Try upping the LP CPU voltage to -10 and work your way down. For MPU try -25 and work your way down on that as well.
Mine is a variant 2 and can use -20 and -110 with the 520 GPU overclock
Edit: also for more performance try changing your minfree values. Lower values mean better multitasking and high values mean more killing of background apps but more free ram for the foreground apps. I personally use 8, 12, 45, 65, 95, 165
don't forget to hit thanks!
