Hello all,
I have confirmed the following issue on my Optimus 2x with stock 20L. Nothing else, nothing special.
When I leave the phone standby for several hours (eg. during the night), when I get back to it and turn on the screen, the network signal/3G indicators are white - meaning no internet connection.
After around 10 seconds, 3G reconnects itself.
While this is annoying, since you don't get any notifications from programs using the internet (WhatsApp, Facebook etc), it gets worse.
After 3G reconnects itself, the battery drains really fast: about 30 seconds for 1%. So in a few minutes your battery will be completely drained.
This even continues while rebooting.
For example: I come back to my phone and it has 46% left. Then I notice the 3G disconneced and reconnecting and then power starts dropping really fast. I reboot at 43% power left. After the reboot, there's only 18% left but the draining has stopped.
I at least had this happen twice in four days.
Is anyone else noticing this, or does any of the developers out here perhaps has a fix or a custom rom in which it is fixed?
I really like 20L for some new features, but I'm also experiencing issues with GPS and now also this... I'm really thinking of going back to 10D.
Thanks for any help or insights you can give me.

I also have huge battery drain, but in my case the main culprit is OnScreen Phone. Left my phone with 100% in the evening and in the morning, after exactly 8h, the battery was at 70%. Of that, 50% was used by OSP, and 25% each Idle and Cell standby. With the phone on wireless, froyo used at most 10% instead of the 30% used by GB now.
Yes you should remove all background running apps, especially the sh..y LG one Phone on Screen, but also checking for others, like media share programs and so on.
One time with my present ROM I had a storm in my battery with tremendous drain.. I had to do a fresh reinstall, and since then no problem.
Thanks for your replies, but this is different.
The battery only starts draining when 3G reconnects and you can literally see it happen.

Same happening here. I'm running on topogigi 2.0 SP3.
With Baseband 725 I'm having this issue. Now I'm on 622 will see tomorrow what happens
Edit: I'm noticing, that even if I have full signal with an "H" the phone starts switching from H to 3G and back when I turn the screen on
I think I can confirm that huge battery drain on GB is because of the radio. The reporting of huge consumption by OnScreen Phone or Gallery may be wrong.
I left last evening my phone fully charged on Flight Mode and after 8:30 it consumed a mere 1-2%. With Flight mode off GB uses like 30% and Froyo used 10%. So I suppose the radio is the main culprit. As you can see in my screenshots, the Gallery process is said to have used the most energy, but it wasn't even started. And some days ago OSP was in place of Gallery. In the third screenshot you can notice how the drain started when I turned off the Flight mode and browsed for 45 min or so.
Could it be that we're experiencing this huge radio drain because of the incorrect baseband? I suppose we all have the generic Euro Open/Italian v20L ROM, and maybe our networks need a correct baseband for our specific operator?

The first time i experienced the battery drain problem i had no rooted phone with official Gingerbread update from LG. That was last week. The Baseband was exactly the same as from Froyo 10D (725).
With Froyo I had no battery drain at all. So LG must have messed something up - that was my thought...
since then i rooted my phone and installed topogigis rom on fr, 4th nov. At the weekend i was in areas where the signal strength was very good (H in status bar).
On monday no battery drain on my place of work where signal is very bad (G in status bar).
Since tuesday battery drain is back. I get reconnects after reconnects when the signal is weak. Even when the signal is very good my phone jumps from H to 3G and back. What the hell is that?
You need to flash the GB baseband released with the rom, the 0725 basebands are not the same. Flash the 0725 baseband in the v20l thread of Hell_97 and try again. Without it there are many issues.

Maybe I was a little uncertain:
- Last Wednesday (2nd nov) I had an unrooted phone with froyo. In the morning I checked for an update with LG Software and boom I had Gingerbread.
- Until friday I had heavy battery drain (9h and battery was at 5%). I was so angry and thought f*** you LG-Guys I'm flahing topogigi's rom. I flashed the Baseband 725 from his thread. On Saturday to Monday evening no problems at all.
- On Tuesday my phone again had very bad signal an it was often active (in the Battery-Usage Menu were much of those blue bars.
- Yesterday I flashed 625 Baseband -> problem not solved
- today I flashed 502 (from LG U660 10S update). I will look how it works.
What I noticed on all Gingerbread roms is, that the phone often Disconnects an Reconnects. I think that's making the heavy battery-darin.
But I have no idea how to fix that...

If you have updated through LG update tool, your Baseband had been updated to last (=the one recommended for Hell ROM), and above all the one recommended by LG for your area...
I think you should put back this one...

I've read many threads about this issue, but couldn't find a solution for Optimus 2X because on our phone, the PDP Settings in the HiddenMenu aren't implemented yet, so we can't disable Fast Dormancy.
I've found a workaround when you're at home: you can change the WiFi policy to never sleep, so during the night, the phone will use WiFi only instead of 3G while it's sleeping. But still, this doesn't hep you at all when you have no WiFi available.
I called LG this morning and they sad I'm the first reporting this problem (huge 3G battery drain on newly released Gingerbread)
Has anybody found another solution?
Hello. I updated my T to a JellyBean a week ago. My bootloader is unlocked and I have stock kernel with TWRP.
My problem is whenever I boot my phone soon or later I get massive amounts of Partial Wakelock time from keypad and SMSDispatcher.
I have root and I installed better battery stats. Yesterday it showed me about 9h of total time, about 7h of deep sleep and... about 4h of partial wakelocks which was mainly caused (about 95% of total partial wakelocks time) by SMSDispatcher. I provided some earlier screenshots from BBS and Settings. It shows only 30 minutes of SMSDispatcher time but it's still quite big amount of time in comparison with ICS where this problem never occured. On the secons BBS screen there is huge Alarm Manager time but it does not matter, below there is still SMSDispatcher messing with my phone.
This is what I already tried:
1. I did a fresh, perfectly clean flash, I did not reatore ANY data from ICS at all. Nothing has changed.
2. I did not remove any system apks and there was no effect.
3. I removed the same apks I removed on ICS (I don't use most of them) and there was no effect.
4. I flashed .195 FW ICS baseband (because I had problems with low signal) and there was no effect.
5. I tried to wait as many users say after such big update we must give our phone somw time to optimize everything. I waited a week and guess what... there was no effect.
6. I wiped Dialer/SMS/Keypad data and there was no effect.
BUT! I did something interesting today. I turned off Airplane Mode for about 4 hours and left my phone in my locker at my job and what? Wakelocks disappeared! There were absolutely NO signs of any app waking up the phone.
I'm very curious what the hell is going on. There are no signs of any similar problems on the net. Please help me of you can. On ICS I had amazing battery life, sometimes the phone lasted even for more than 2 days without charging.
Please post your ideas. I think I tried almost everithing to fix this, without result...

Roman

SMSDispatcher is obviously handling the SMS, keeps track of an SMS that has been sent to the Radio Interface Layer (RIL is a layer in android which provides an interface to the hardware's radio and modem), until it it has successfully been sent, it is awaiting a delivery status report for some SMS that has bean sent, it is retrying to send a previously failed SMS message, and more ... so it might have anything to do with any of this.
So when your phone is in Airplane Mode you are not using any radio/modem and that's why you don't have WakeLocks connected to SMSDispatcher.
I don't know what can you do about this, it may have something to do with weak signal and the phone keep trying and failing to send something, or it is constantly awaiting some delivery report but it's failing because of weak signal or something ...
To be honest I'm just saying some random stuff ... maybe you can try and disable delivery report, delete every SMS if you have any ... I don't know

I tried to delete every sms - no result.
Tried the second thing you said... to disable delivery reports - no result...
I just don't have any idea how to solve this...

Flashing different ROM-s (German, UK, Europe) gives no result. Soon or later I have the same problem. I flashed back to ICS and there is totally no problem with anything.
I guess I'll have to wait for future releases. I hope Sony will fix this.
i got a drain problem too.. When i leave the phone in stand by mode over the night , i wake up in the morning and i see that it drained 4 to 8% of the battery .. i also updated το JB 4.1.2 a few days ago.
I didn't have any battery issues with 4.0.4 i am pretty sure that i had better battery management.
I have android system and Google services using a lot of battery and over 130 wake-ups by each. Network location is there under Google services and my GPS etc are left off yet and same with Google now.

Bump and another update...
After going back to 4.0.4 .195 FW the problem started to occur even on the old ROM and it didn't before switching to JB. But it's not in so big way, but still it occurs and it's really strange. 22h on battery and 58 minutes of smsdispatcher waking the phone. Very annoying.
However I forgot to tell you that I always use GSM only option in settings. And after changing network to WCDMA only there are no wakelocks at all! But it's not comfortable to always use 3G because it drains more battery and there are problems with the signal strength here where I live.
Again the same question - is anyone able to help me?
Problem solved. It was my old SIM card's fault. It was more than 6 years old and I had to manually cut it from mini-SIM to micro-SIM shape. I probably damaged its inside structure or something. I went to my carrier and requested a new SIM card factory cut to a micro-SIM shape and now everything is ok! No strange wakelocks at all!
Hi,
I'm experiencing this problem more than 1 month. I'm on CM10 with kowalski kernel. It seems my phone sometimes wrongly read battery status and drop battery level percentage from some value to 0 immidiatelly...and shut down occurs at the moment. I thought it could be caused by old battery, but it's not - I buy the new one and the problem still persist and it's VERY irritating...Any solution?
Thanks Jiri
Hello,
It happens also for me but only when I am around 15% and when somebody call me sometimes it fail down sometimes.
It seems that the deep sleep do not allow the system to read a correct battery value when screen came back and the system shutdown because of a too low voltage.
I did not found any solutions in several type of ROM.

This is a known problem..if i remember correctly tonyp and pengus will fix it in the neew 4.2.2

Mmmhhhh I actually cant remembet them stating that it will be fixed. I remember tony mentioning that its a low priority rom bug. It might be fixed with 4.2.2 but i am not really sure. Regarding the issue I do experience it too but only once every few weeks.

I also have this shut down problem. A lot. Maybe 5 times a day and its also driving me nuts. Mine does not happen while phone is in charger - so its probably the "battery reporting wrong charge" problem. Im on new bootloader. I've seen it go from over 50% to 0% battery in an instant.
It might have happened before but much less frequently than now. I started noticing the problem a few weeks ago on Pengus CM10 rom with kowalski kernel (before reading about it). I reflashed the kernel a few times and upgraded the kernel once or twice during that period.
I switched to PA 2.6 - 10 without improvement (KK-116). No apps installed (except Antutu)
I even had the problem in TonyPs TWRP 2.4.3.0 when trying to backup my rom once. Phone shut down while running the backup. Plugged wall charger in while phone still being off and saw that i still had battery left - probably 30-50%. The LG charging graphics icon showed this (you know, the one that shows up if your phone is off and you plug in the charger).
I Tried the following using AIO v5 tool without luck:
1) Reintalled unlocked ICS bootloader
2) Reverting to Old bootloader / partition - then back to new bootloader. Then installed ROM.
I have also tried installing Django Manouche X 1.6.1 (KOB 0.7 kernel) and running Antutu a few times (right after first boot + reboot) with the same result: shutdown. No apps installed.
I can always reproduce the issue: run Antutu benchmark 1-5 times in a row manually on battery. Plugged in, this does not happen.
It happens with or without OC/UV.
I havent tested it extensively, so I cannot be sure, but it seems to me that the rom/kernel isnt the problem since it also happened (once) in TWRP. Could it be the bootloader? Granted this is only a guess, since i have NO knowledge of Android programming or inner workings. Or maybe this is what happens when the LG battery is dying? I got the phone just as it came out.
Edit: BB 30A
I guess i have the same problem but either worse or something totally different.
Regularly around 70%, my battery just drops to 0% and my phone shuts off. It can happen anytime for me and it usually happens just after about 10-15mn of using my phone.
This morning it shut off at more than 90% and then got stuck in a bootloop i presume because it says it doesn't have battery.
Update:
I tried reflashing 30A BB. Didnt help.
Tried Django Manouche X 1.6.1 with kernel without zRAM or ramhack mod. Didnt help.
I Also tried PA 2.6 - 11 on old bootloader, and the battery-jump shutdowns continued when running antutu.
Flashed (completely stock - no rooting etc) ICS 30A with 30A BB through AIO v5. Didnt help. No tweaks or apps (except Antutu) installed. On Antutu run number 5 the phone restarted (with bootloop). Had about 36% battery. Pulled battery, rebooted, phone shut down before booting ROM. Plugged in charger, booted into ROM, showed 100% battery for 10 seconds before showing 30% battery. Tried with quadrant and 30% battery: phone shut down on run 2. Pulled battery, rebooted. Messed around with camera and gallery for 5mins at 26%: phone shutdown.
Im totally lost ... if its not the battery (as indicated by the first post (OP)) i have no idea whats going on. Maybe some other piece of hardware inside the phone is to blame. A piece of hardware that is only called upon when on battery and not when on charger. Maybe a power regulator (or some such thing) is broken?
Next test: Stock GB with GB BB
Edit: Well, the GB ROM + GB BB didnt work either: Gueste2X GoodBye v2.0R + 20L BB rebooted at 75% battery running Antutu. It showed a pop up about low battery and shut down shortly after. For the first time the battery icon still showed 75% when it shut down though.. And this time it showed 21% (not the usual 0% battery) when rebooting to ROM.
I think Im throwing in the towel regarding the software.
My dad also has an o2x, so i will try and swap the batteries and test both phones. I will ofcourse run antutu several times on my dads phone before swapping the batteries..
Update 2:
So i tried my dads O2X battery in my O2X. I Ran Antutu quite a few times and my phone didnt shut down. So I'm pretty certain my battery is messed up which is the reason my phone shuts off "randomly" showing a sudden 0% battery.
Through a google search i found a guy stating that the battery often starts "bulging" when its messed up like mine. His test was to lay the battery flat on a hard even surface and spin the battery. If it keeps going for a couple of seconds it might be messed up. My battery is definitely "bulging" and spins for much longer than my dads. His spins for less than a second. Mine spins for maybe 2 seconds. Not very scientific, but i could definitely see a difference. And i can see the excessive bulging on my battery if i look at it from the side.
So Im ordering a new battery tonight - the originals dont cost much thankfully.
Hope my walls of text can help others in the same situation.
Last update (promise):
Got the new original battery today. Charged it to 100% and used my phone for various tasks until the battery hit 70%. (This was my old batterys absolutely certain "breaking point" when running Antutu benchmark. On my old battery Antutu would crash on first or second run every time when battery is at 70%.)
On the new battery i quit running Antutu after the 13th run in a row without a "battery low" shutdown. The battery was at 40% after the 13th run.
I lay the old and the new battery flat on my smooth metal mousepad and spun them around. The new battery spun for less than 1 second. The old battery spun for almost 4 seconds on one side - almost 3 seconds on the other side.
Two working batteries (my dads 2+ year old battery and my own brand new one) performing equally and at the same time differently to one defective battery. It lends some credence to "the guys" theory that battery defects might result in "bulging" of the battery.
Which means, your battery can be defective but not "bulge". If however, your battery is "bulging" something likely is or will be defective. Fantastic knowledge to posess, if true.
It might seem like a "well duh, thats obvious" revelation, but Ive held my old battery in my hands a lot the last 2 years (especially lately) and I did not notice the "bulging" at any time.
Hello!
I know that there were a lot said about battery problems in 4.1.2 android, but i still haven't found any solution on my problem. My Note was bought with GB 2.3.6 and had an awesome battery, but after i updated it to JB 4.1.2 (via Kies), suddenly battery life is catastrophic. I have everything off (bluetooth, wi-fi, gps), my screen brightness is on minimum, i use my phone on GSM band (not 4g), i also disabled some of unused apps, etc...everything said was also my practice on previous version 2.3.6 and phone battery lasts up to 4 days, but now, it drains off in 17hrs and I barely use my phone!
If I check battery stats, it shows that screen is the major consumer of battery and it seems like it is on all the time, although the phone screen is physically off most of the time. It means something causing my phone being awake all the time instead of being off.
Any ideas how to fix this??

4 days? really? think that is unheard of. Either how, it should last longer than 17 hours.
Try going back to factory settings, perhaps theres something running thats divided by zero :silly: .
If you feel adventurous you can also choose to root & try a custom rom. Though thats your responsibility and choice entirely.

Yup 4 days, not kiddin...4 days of average use.
I forgot to mention that i already did the factory reset and i also wipe the cache partition in recovery menu... I disabled practically everything, and i use things when i need, nothing is set on auto, sync or anything. Last night I didn't touch the phone for about 9 hrs and battery consumption was around 1% which is ok, but it's draining everytime i turn on the screen like 5% in 10mins. BBS shows that well known GTALK_ASYNC_CONN as a battery eater. Is it possible to kill this annoying thing on un-rooted phone???

did you did a factory reset after install?
Mine is draining so fast. Even when turned off. I didn't do a factory reset after install because i dont want to lose any data. My maximum charge is 11% after 3 hours. I dont even know if i can flash anything because it's lowbat.
for me is ok. the battery life is good, and i got overheathing only when i did a first start after i installed it. try to install kernel aduitor and see if all governors are on "ondemand", and if all freqs are ok.
reinstalled and did everything as it should be but stll gets hot and quickly drains out battery sometimes not always
without using battery drains to 50% in few hours
Possible Solution to Over heating after lollipop install
I had the same issue of Xperia Z1 Compact over heating after lollipop install. I backed up all my data using Sony Companion and reset my phone to factory. After that my phone is working like a champ. No more over heating and battery life last over a day and half. Hope this help.
guys,
I had the same issue and im thinking to downgrade to kitkat for real
I have tried it.. No use. It will heat up in kitkat too. Really annoying.

How old is your device? Looks like the battery is having issues. Or maybe the motherboard is supplying over current to the processor.
Its about 2 yrs old. But the heating started just after lollipop update. Before it was ok, no problem was there.
having the same issue since update to lollipop. really annoying thing. battery drained in an half hour down to 89%. that just cant be normal.. phone is not rooted or anything.
Hi,
For those who are rooted and with a custom kernel, I have faced the same problem recently and after playing a bit with CPU configuration on "Pimp My Z1" app it seemed to work again.
First thing I did was reboot the device, that way I was sure that no app I've opened was draining my battery.
Second I opened the "Pimp My Z1" app and changed the configuration of CPU to:
Maximum: 1958MHz
Minimum: 300MHz
Governor: lionheart
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also set the max clock of GPU to 320MHz.
As for the power management config, I've set this way:
Multi Core Power Saving: Aggressive.
Hotplug Driver: Intelliplug
Eco Mode: On
Power Suspend: On
Click to expand...

Today I'm with 82% battery but with 59 minutes of screen on time (~70% brightness) and some more of music playing. Also using Stamina Mode. Heats a bit, but doesn't show any draining symptom.
If you still face overheating problems, I suggest downloading the Greenify app and hibernating many apps. That worked for me on S4 when it was with a similar problem.
All the best,

I have the LG Leon for MPCS w/ 5.0.2 root-TWRP. I began experiencing this after flashing a sound engine mod. I also noticed my charging port pin was bent slightly. Another possibility was changing CPU gov-I/O-min. freq.
I flashed mod remove zip, then restored from Nandroid prior to, and fixed pin. Still had it.
BUT: I kept my phone on top of my AC unit vent for roughly 13 hours while it was on & plugged in, set brightness to night mode, 15 sec time out, and disabled daydream.
PROBLEM GONE.
Also set CPU back to reg. settings.
CPU has been steady 28-30 deg. C all day.
Hope this helps.

Hi guys, long time since I've been on here.
I have a S4 i9500, and I was having mega drainage issues. I installed Novalaunch, and disabled the samsung touchwiz crap - battery usage is SOO much better already. I have had lollipop for a few months now, and I did factory reset it, twice, and install all the apps manually via google play. It got so bad, that i HAD to run my phone with power save on ALL THE TIME, and even then, it would be pretty hungry. the other day, I ran it on full power(1.6ghz) and it chewed 40% in around 1 hour. All I was doing was had Pandora music on.
I have a tool called 'Cool Tools', and I monitored the IO activity bfore, and it show pretty high utilization all the time, even with the screen off. With Novalauncher, its hitting rock bottom(low), even while using it..
Its soo good now, to give you an idea - I charged my phone last night(around 9pm), and restarted it and unplugged the charger. I ran it on full power(power save OFF), over night, with data on, and it only chewed 15%. MASSIVE difference. I'm at 60% now, and I've been running Pandora for at least 3 hours now, and using some other apps as well. Its been 14 hours or so already.

Even I faced fast battery drain with Touchwiz launcher.
Now running custom ROM and seeing that CPU usage is lesser and battery stays longer.
However, nothing can beat Kitkat's battery usage. Lollipop, according to me, is a battery killer wrapped in material design for disguise.
Xperia z1 battery drain issue or problem
I FOUND THE MAIN CULPRIT FOR BATTETY DRAIN AFTER 5.1.1 LOLLIPOP UPDATE. Its the overheat control app. As you all may know that after first update from jellybean 4.2 to kitkat 4.4, the phone tends to get overheated while multitasking. Thus overheat control app eats up the battery and drain it when the phone starts getting hot.
I REQUEST ALL THE DEVELOPERS TO CHECK IT AND PROVE IF I M WRONG.
I m sure that Google will find the answer to the battery drain issue fix in overheat control app.

Hi,
For those who are rooted and with a custom kernel, I have faced the same problem recently and after playing a bit with CPU configuration on "Pimp My Z1" app it seemed to work again.
First thing I did was reboot the device, that way I was sure that no app I've opened was draining my battery.
Second I opened the "Pimp My Z1" app and changed the configuration of CPU to:
Also set the max clock of GPU to 320MHz.
As for the power management config, I've set this way:
Today I'm with 82% battery but with 59 minutes of screen on time (~70% brightness) and some more of music playing. Also using Stamina Mode. Heats a bit, but doesn't show any draining symptom.
If you still face overheating problems, I suggest downloading the Greenify app and hibernating many apps. That worked for me on S4 when it was with a similar problem.
All the best,
