Hi.
i have some questions about my battery , i want to know if im having a battery drain.
i recently installed Darky's Rom v9.3b1 (the rom doesnt matter in this situation - i tried others) and heres how my phone lasts in different situations:
when only the screen is on and everything is off(wifi bt gps ..) , it lasts 9 hours till the battery reaches 10%.
and when im playing a video using rock player and everything else is off again , it takes 7 hours to reach 10% on battery.
is this ok? i also calibrated my battery once and wiped my phone but the results didnt change.
i also tried Speedmod and Voodoo , and speedmod was better a little in battery.
i dont use live wallpapers / auto changing content.
i'll be glad to hear some advices to make my battery better ( i read all the battery threads here but still the same)
thanks in advance.

You need a wipe of your phone and install a clean rom > preferably one that does not have loads of this rom drains my battery posts .
Then reset the battery stats drain the battery bump charge it and then use it for a month battery should be back to near normal .

I've read and done the most common battery calibrate for Darky's ROM but then also came across this thread:
http://darky.ficeto.com/community/i...attery-in-case-of-strange-battery-drain.1183/
I think it is interesting because when I do the common battery calibrate, I'm wiping battery stats when my battery is at 97%, 98% because of the fact that every time my phone reboots, the percentage drops.
However, with the posted thread I'll be wiping battery stats at the point where the battery is completely full which makes more sense to me.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks.
tnx i will test this and post the results.
wiping battery stats when my battery is at 97%, 98% because of the fact that every time my phone reboots, the percentage drops.
The drop is in effect a false reading dont bother about it .Loads of posts on the reasons why later battery charging methods have changed .
Plus some battery indicators dont like reporting 100 % .

Hmmm... Interesting point. I'm wondering for all those out there who claim they get 30 to 40 hours with moderate use if they are using stock email or 3rd party source that handles polling.
I'm using stock GMail and a Yahoo Messenger both pushing emails instantly which I'm wondering could be my issue. I've tried every recommendation for battery efficiency out there and nothing has worked. I'm draining about 6% per hour with less then moderate use.
I'm going to kill the gmail and yahoo apps to see if that makes a difference.
Will report back my useage.

bettary life totally depand on stock rom or costom rom +kernal its complicated judgement
i m on stoke xwjs5 and i found this is best bettary performanse i ever seen on i9000,
lots of fector affect betary life,
So, I removed gmail email sync and removed my yahoo mail app to install k9 email. It has a very nice interface however chewed up my battery even more so while having each email account polling every 10 minutes.
I uninstalled k9 email app and turned on gmail email sync. I also added another email account to my gmail account so that I can get push emails to both accounts.
I installed an app called battery calibrator from the market. I charged my phone to 100 percent and while charged, I ran battery calibrator. After the calibration, I rebooted my phone.
Now, my battery drops 1.5 percent every hour compared to anywhere from 6 to 10% per hour.
I don't start monitoring the battery until about 95 percent because after a full charge it drops to 98 percent in about 40 minutes. That's just how the software reads the battery usage I guess.
Samsung Vibrant GT-i9000M, Froyo 2.2.1, Darky's Extreme 9.2, hardcore SpeedMod kernel, Steel Blue Theme 3.0
bettary life totally depand on stock rom or costom rom +kernal its complicated judgement
Thats it in a nutshell some roms = bad battery life as the two posters have found .## jje
I didn't use the note much, but it needs to charge each day. This is bad than tablet. Any software to save battery? I tried 'air plane mode' sofeware, but it also turns off phone after sleep.

What apps and widgets are you running? Have you gone through 2 or 3 full discharge/recharge cycles? There are apps out there that can detect if any app is consuming your battery but you will have to search the forums as I don't know of any first hand.
Also, which ROM are you using? When I was using Rocket Rom v22 with AbyssKernel 4.1, my Note would last more than a day on the same charge even with moderate use. Give that a try as it also really boosts performance.
I'm currently on Team Rocket Rom (ICS based) v5 but have not used it extensively to comment on battery yet. So far with 3 activesync email accounts (all push), some widgets running (weather, clock, etc.) and the Note sitting idle consume about 2-3% battery per hour. Will monitor this.
most smartphones ned to be charged every day, what battery life are you expecting to get ?
battery depends on the usage and applications you installed on the phone.
have you tried rooting already? usually custom roms have the best alternatives of extending your phone's battery and giving it an optimal performance.
Try to stop some bloatwares that your phone's loading up everytime it starts up(from rebooting)

I am using la2 rom. Here i attached an picture.
Geez... i personally feel that one day charge is reasonable especially with the juice required to drive the big display.
Anyway, Juice Defender premium is one app that has helped me, and may help you too.
Since you got Activesync, with the premium version of JD, you can customize app to be excluded from 'power saving', so that the inbox is up to date.
+1 for juicedefender.
Other tips that may not be obvious to first-time smartphone owners are:
1. Set your screen brightness to auto. You don't need the brightness cranked right up all the time.
2. Disable bluetooth and GPS if you're not using them. Juicedefender will do a pretty good job of managing your other radios.
3. If you've got email syncing set up on your phone, set it to check as rarely as you can put up with. Push email uses a LOT of battery life, and even a scheduled check can blaze through your battery if it's happening often enough.
4. If you've put on a custom ROM your phone may be reporting inaccurate battery stats. Give it a full charge, boot into clockwork recovery and wipe your battery stats. You'll find a few days after that your phone will start reporting more accurately.
Good luck, and if any of this was unclear feel free to ask further questions.

Try a later ROM to see if the same issue exists. I think you should instal rocket rom v22 - you'll be happy with performance and battery life based on your usage.
try to calibrate your battery as well... there are many apps out there that offers better battery calibration or you can do a manual calibration as well.
Give it some time and upgrade your ROM
I am getting great battery life. It runs for full day (24 hrs) with 30% of battery usage. though in a day i dont use it much, just 5 to 10 calls of around half an hour to 40 minutes.. data and gps always on.. screen brightness on auto...
My note running the OEM battery last me about 6 hrs.
Averages about 45mins talk time/day
About 50 SMS/day
Screen brightness set to 100
Checks email every 5 mins
Using a live wallpaper
Refreshes the daily weather using Accuweather every hr
Bluetooth always turned on
Battery Widget
Fancy Widget
ESPN scoreboard ticker widget refreshes
Twitter running all day
Facebook Widget syncing all day
and more...

^ This. Or better yet, just always set your brightness to the lowest brightness setting, 50% afaik. And use black/dark wallpapers and always turn on night mode (if applicable, especially when using your browser)
If in case you need to adjust the brightness, you don't have to go through the jungle of settings, just click notification bar and slide horizontally to change to your preferred brightness.
Jd is hit n miss will actually helping out. If your phone sleeps a lot jd is nice at keeping cell or wifi off if your like me and on it every 10 minutes then toggling data and other things can consume more juice. .... I have tried with and without on my tablets and phones and see no big difference depending on use.
Sent from my Ice Creamy Galaxy NOTE
I was pretty happy with my battery until two days ago. I use my note very little, for e-mail checking (which I pull manually) a few times a day, and to make two or three phone calls per day. I also text my kids occasionally. GPS and Bluetooth are off most of the time. Battery used to last me about two and a half days under these conditions, which seemed reasonable to me. All of a sudden, two days ago, I charged my battery, and after a full charge it drained 60% overnight. Thought that it was a fluke, so rebooted my phone, fully charged again, and the same thing (over half of the juice gone overnight) happened again. Battery stats tell me that Android OS were 100% responsible for overnight drainage. Any clues? I am on stock ROM, by the way.
Thank you.

Get a good app to check what is using the battery or keeping the phone awake. This last is the most likely.
Baddass Battery Monitor is my recommendation.
Not a single phone call, only used about 10 mins. after 21 hours only 11% left. Install Jd with 'balanced' option.

Thank you. I will give that a try.
Badass, got to love that name....
Ok, I used the Badass monitor to see what's going on. Once again, no phone usage, quick overnight battery drainage. Android OS 100% responsible, and the main power sucker is the Kernel (96%). Why is this happening? And, is there a remedy? I have changed nothing that would trigger this! My Note is still within the return window, so if there is anything wrong with it, I will return it.
Thanks again.

Badass Monitor is very useful, my note was drained by Dolphin Browser, it used 38% of battery. Seems like for this browser, if I only press home key to exit, It will keep running?
I think the reason the battery drain fast is we press 'home' key to return to main menu, that will keep a lot of apps run in the background.
Hello, I'm starting this thread to actually discuss general battery usage patterns/ concerns. I figure this might be helpful for some people if not then..... =P
currently im using stock gb battery monitor to roughly monitor my battery usage, there is a mod to make the reading more accurate but i havent applied it yet...
Also... lets put up screen of the best battery life we've managed to get our phones here heee, would be fun to see =P

question is,
1) is it normal for mobile standby and phone idle to be ard 50% ish?
2) is it normal for my phone to stay in awake mode when i turn on the alarm

Nice idea..
I charge my OB every night, and reboot after alarm in the morning. I dunno if it is from alarm or charging but if I don´t reboot the juice is gone in about 8 h. also battery usage app is frozen. I have this issue on every ROM, ( stock 2.3,CM7 from kang to about 60, marvell, zeus test v2.1, nova v8).
If i do the reboot in the morning the phone uses about 50% of the battery during the day (17 h). i use it for a few sms´s and calls, about an hour of websurf (wifi) and some facebook/ Xda usage..

I dunno, if in not mistaken, when you reboot it deletes your old battery stats bin but I'm still trying to understand how resetting a stat could make the battery last longer its what most battery calibration apps claim to do...
For me once a week I manually delete the stats thru cwm and yeah it does make the battery seem more resilient.....
And yeah I got the same again as my photo again, phone stays awake when I turn alarm on.... :/

Deleting batterystats.bin does nothing to callibrate your battery. It just stores info, like a logger. BatteryUsage retrieves the info to display it.

Something is causing a wakelock, what happened to you is not normal. Usually a reboot solves things like that, if it doesnt, then it will either be a rom bug or an app holding the wakelock. Use Better Battery Stats to find whats causing it.
thanks for the app recommendation found that my dialer is causing a portion of my wake lock..... and system too.... hmmmm
ok lets just say my dialer keeping my phone in a wake lock is caused by malware... would a clean install of a rom and manually reinstalling of apps w/o data get rid of the malware?
meanwhile... googling wakelocks =D
Hi, I have some experience with sudden huge battery drains and wakelocks etc. both on stock V20N and Zeus v3.2n. I did not figure out how/why it works but here are some things you can try. I did not have any huge battery drains anymore the last 24h! (on Zeus v3.2n, did not try on V20N stock)
- I have an IMAP email account installed with K9 mail and an ordinary hotmail account with the hotmail app. Both accounts are set on push and in this configuration the hotmail app causes my wifi to never go to sleep, causing increased battery drain. Removing the hotmail app solves the problem.
- automatic update of time and date settings can cause wakelock. Unchecking Settings > Date & time settings > Automatic might solve your problem. I read this somewhere on XDA.
- Use wireless networks to determine location might cause wakelocks as well. Unchecking Settings > Location & Security > Use wireless networks might solve your problem. Read this somewhere on XDA again.
As I said, I did all of this and my wakelock problem is gone for at least 24h! Now I already have 60h on one battery and still 43% left... I cannot remember the threads where I read about this but if needed I can search... Also I did not try yet whether any single thing actually caused my problem. I just killed all of it as I do not miss it I am happy. Keep me updated if you found out which one worked for you
Tip: the BetterBatteryStats app is written by somebody on the XDA forum, you can download the apk for free from some thread in XDA (search is your friend)
I think a day and a half is a good battery lifetime for the OB, if there is no app or something that drains the battery in a hard way.
I can manage to get this with the marvel rom, and my personal user-settings. Also i think every smartphone u can actually get needs to be charged around every 24 hours.
I also want to share my experience. I use the cm7 2.3 gb rom and the battery response is very bad. Battery completely dead in 18 hours. Then i switched to v20n german gb rom. It gives me better battery timing about 28 -30 hours on normal use. The i change the settings of account syncronization of gmail, hotmail, facebook etc to manual. Then there is a big difference in battery drainage. Now my battery consumed in 48 hours on normal use.

On android phones, if yours phone gives u 24 hours backup then it has good battery timing. Further you can increase the timing through the steps and trick mentioned by different peoples in this thread

Battery should last at least 18 hours on normal usage with 3G and sync with gmail , contacts and calendar. Sometimes you just turn off so many things to just make it home with some battery in it....
battery is mainly kernel related...
we need good kernels that all..
Thank you for the wakelock tips.
It seems that V20o is way better than all the other ROMS concerning battery, without any tweak. Maybe it can be further optimizet with tweaks.
A short comment: it is true that theoretically battery is kernel related issue, but in a real world high battery drain is usually caused by bad apps and other non-kernel related things.
using zeus v5.03 lite.
battery drains so much when the screen off. nearly 1 percent in every 2 minutes.
but it is ok when the screen off
Ok wasn't an sod but a random reboot, and it reset my apn settings twice when that happened

I uninstalled all the games I had on my phone and battery afterwards was amazing. Not sure what games u had on ur phone but dead Trigger mass effect seemed like they used battery even if not played. Now star wars angry birds and contract Killer zombies 2 doesn't to use that much battery when not used. I think dead Trigger must be constantly be doing a task in the background. I got from 6 7 hours to 15 hours with 12% battery left. Not sure why some games in idle still or when not being played still eat the battery like crazy. So my tip is uninstall all games and see how it battery life is afterwards.

Facebook app is a battery eater, even when not in use. It's trying to sync contacts or others notifications constantly. Even when you disable those options.
Uninstall that app and use Facebook through a browser like Dolphin or so? That's what i do.
Also read the tips in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013469
I'll post my final configuration in that thread soon. I have my phone at stand-by now for 6 hours and it's still at 100%.
I found the best way to save battery is to not use 'active/changing/moving" widgets, remove or freeze battery eating apps and underclock.

Before I didn't had any problems with Facebook (al sinc was OFF, notifications OFF, refreshing "1 hour", and no battery drain) but now,after todays update, everytime i turn it ON, the GPS starts to run. I disabled the "share location" option, everything but it still happening. The only way is to turn OFF the GPS...
Any ideas??? Cause I tried everything...

Wrong post.
Stock trega core concept is awesome but it depends on usage. As said in power Management demo, if screen is "on" and some background program is running all cores will be on, which consumed a lot of battery. And try charging your mobile only when charging falls to less than 5%
And remove it when it's fully charged. and I suggest you calibrating your battery really calibrating my battery worked a lot.
I have been vulgarly using my mobile a lot. i never faced any over consumption. Overall I am really happy with the results. of course I'm never disappointed by my battery till today. I love my 4X.

Good to note that you are happy with your battery. With 3G on, my battery does drain faster. Even overnight it goes down 7-8%. Could you explain how you calibrated your battery. I dont plan to root my phone.

Without root you will not get good results.. Even if you calibrate your battery. In my opinion, the first step to get a better battery life is rooting your phone.
She doesn't have any games on her phone and yea Facebook runs but it does on mine and i don't have any issue with it. It never used to be that bad too. Just like this last week really

Hi!
We've got some kernels improving efficiency/performance of our 4X. I have a request for our dear developers: can you create a kernel improving lenght of battery life? I (and many of LG Optimus P880 users) think baterry life is a weak point of Optimus 4X, so it will be really helpful if you create such kernel. What do you think about it?
Regards, Y2J
- Sorry for my bad English -
Battery is something all devs consider,some are already including fixes for baseband wakelock. To get more juice what you really need is to restrict the number of cores to [email protected], keep your brightness lower and undervolt by 25 millivolts if your kernel supports it. All phones of this calibre are battery hungry, I'm afraid you must get used to that and use whatever our few devs make available to help
Sent from my rooted P880
Can you tell me what kernel resolve baseband wakelock? I have a huge problem with that..
its not the kernel or the mod, that drains your battery.
its the installed apps.
for example: if you have skype, facebook and google search installed, the battery lasts half as long as without these apps.
especially skype is the devil, because it does not have push mode, so your phone will never go to deep sleep mode when skype is running.
google search is also a big battery drainer, same goes for facebook with its 35 services and processes always running.
deinstall/freeze these apps, and use icq, facebook chat and skype with "im+ pro", which _has_ push notifications.
my battery always lasts at least 3 days with normal use, and i am on stock 20a.
the only thing i do is using a taskmanager and kill all tasks i dont want running to free up memory (i use advanced task killer free for that, it memorizes the tasks it should kill).
when i had skype and google search installed, i sometimes had this weird battery drain, too, that sucked my battery empty in some hours.
after i froze these apps some month ago, i never had this again and everything is running smooth.

especially skype is the devil, because it does not have push mode, so your phone will never go to deep sleep mode when skype is running.
google search is also a big battery drainer, same goes for facebook with its 35 services and processes always running.
deinstall/freeze these apps, and use icq, facebook chat and skype with "im+ pro", which _has_ push notifications.
my battery always lasts at least 3 days with normal use, and i am on stock 20a.
the only thing i do is using a taskmanager and kill all tasks i dont want running to free up memory (i use advanced task killer free for that, it memorizes the tasks it should kill).
when i had skype and google search installed, i sometimes had this weird battery drain, too, that sucked my battery empty in some hours.
after i froze these apps some month ago, i never had this again and everything is running smooth.

Might I add you can keep these apps and use greenify if they are necessary to your use

My battery is not drained. I am power user, so my battery lifes about 12h. A lot of useless services and stuff from CM has been frozen by me. I just think that energy-saving kernel should be created cause not all of 4X users are gamers. I (and they) will be very happy if our LGs can be used some hours longer. I don't use Facebook or Skype apps. I have less than ten apps from Google Play installed. There aren't battery-draining apps because I have checked them. Sorry for my bad English.

I get what you're saying, but custom kernels generally provide the options for either performance or battery life. Configure your kernel based on your needs. The only way battery life is gonna improve more than the current tweaks allow is something completely built from scratch with battery life in mind from start to finish. As far as I know since dexter left only kholk is capable of it, most kernels here are just a stock base with some good addons. Just give it time and see what comes

I seem to have this too, but 1% drain over an hour and a half with 3G on doesn't bother me. Is yours worse? There's a few kernels with an attempt to fix this implemented, dunno if it works though

I have a 20-30% drain over night with 3G and wifi off so your 1% with 3G is nothing and you dont have baseband problem..

A 19 minute wakelock from baseband though, I expected more of a drain from that, strange how even those with a big wakelock dont see drain as a result

Well like me, 19mins out of an hour and a half is quite big, I charge my phone overnight but even when I have left it I have only lost 3%, I only recently starting investigation of the wakelock on my phone, if I am able to replicate the drain somehow I will share as I have had peculiar drain, only once ever though

For all of you, that have huge battery drain over night (20-30%), i might have solution that helped at least 10 users. It happened to me shortly after flash to v20a. All you need to do is to factory reset phone and in "Software update" software decline terms and conditions of LG update service.
After this procedure I have 1-3% drain per night (8 hours). By Wakelock Detector my phone have only 10-15 min longer awake time than onScreen time.
Why did you have battery drain,what was the cause? Not everybody suffers from baseband wakelock..
Wait for kholk's 3.4 beta kernel, You'll get Your battery improvement
Do you think he will solve baseband wakelock? Where can I see the development of his kernel so i know when it comes?

How many baseband wakelocks do you have?
It depends..Sometime very little and sometime over 80% during the night! Last night it was only 1% but the night before it was 83%! It doesnt make any sense,it comes and goes randomly..And the settings are always the same(over night no wifi no 3g)
