2 things the V8 update helped with - LG Revolution

First is my 4g connection......I don't lose it at home like I did at all, not even once since the update.
Second, the dag gone battery won't die I have the extended, After using the phone all day yesterday and using my flashlight last night, almost for got the 7, 1 minute videos I made, this battery is at 73%. The stats are telling me I have been on battery for 21 hours, 27 minutes and 37 seconds. THATS AWESOME

I updated and for 2 days my battery ate at 15% an hour, then on day 3 everything reversed and like you my battery usage is amazing. I posted some screen in another thread, at the 12 hour mark I was still at 84% on a stock battery. When I went to bed this morning around 4 am I was still at 73%, that was nearly 21 hours of light to minimal usage. I was amazed.
As of this moment I have been up for about 4.5 hours and I am at 98% battery so 2% battery usage in 4.5 hours. Granted I have not really touched my phone but still that is amazing stand by drain. I think they fixed a memory leak in several of the apps that was causing drains. I am not one to be easily impressed but well played LG... well played.

This makes me want to update so bad but I hate to lose GV, CWM and Beats Audio

It makes you think... Either LG really screwed up and fixed a battery issue , or they did something amazing and made it 2x better.

Seems to be amazing took my phone off the charger at 7:30am used modestly all day, fell asleep and woke up at 1am the next morning and it still had 13% battery

I just completed everything yesterday, and my battery life was abysmal today. I really hope mine behaves like yours and is okay in a few days.

Well I got no recognizable improvement in battery or anything else. I am back on gingervolt until the next rom is made.

Wow... Second day and the battery life has definitely improved. Better than GV already.

HTC 2150 Battery

This thing is amazing! Last night I finally let my phone just die and charge fully. This morning I unplugged it and started using it. I actually thought it wasn't reading the battery stats correctly because it was stuck on 100%. So i started using the GPS, Bluetooth etc... Finally after 3:45 up time and 1 hour awake I dropped from 100% to 99%. I am now at 4:15 up time and 1 :15 awake and at 95% and have been listening to a podcast for the past 20 minutes.
SOOOOO much better than the stock battery.
BTW - running Skyraider 3.1 RC3 with Kingx #4 kernel. Set CPU set to 998 max and screen off to 245-384.
the first time i used it i had 90 hours up time and 17 awake. This thing is crazy!
This battery sounds incredible

I just recieved my battery from Verizon yesterday. Dumb Fedex didnt leave the note on the door so i had to wait an extra three days. Anyway i charged last night bump charged this morning which took 1.5hrs WOW. One phone call and I'm down to 99% already. I will let the battery get down to 5% then recharge and bump charge i will do this two times and see what kinda battery life i get. For the size difference it better be really good. It definetly took away the slim line look. But as much as i use my phone i hate being constantly hooked to a charger.

After about 2 weeks of letting it die/recharging, it now doesn't even need bump charging if I just leave your phone off to charge the whole time. And mine used to drop really fast the first time but it has stopped doing that now. Goodluck

You can get used to the extra bulk quickly. I love this extended battery. I can use as much as I want during the day and charge at night.
I received this battery yesterday. I put it in my Incredible and it said there was like %40 of charge. I then turned my phone off and charged it for like an hour or so. I turned the phone on and saw it charged to about 97%. I sat there and watched the battery drain super fast. I mean, 1 minute it would go down like 1-3 %. I was like WTF?? I'm running CM6 and setCPU. Do you all think I need a new kernel? I was going to try a different ROM, but this battery shouldn't be draining this fast should it?
What are the proper step the charging a new battery? Does it really have to be charged for 8-12hrs? If so, I can buy a external charger and let it sit overnight.
Any thoughts?
Dude, it does that quick few % drainage no matter what you're running.
wow is all i have to say, i just got the 2150mAh, with the original battery normally i unplug @ 8am and dead by 4ish pm, it is now 1030pm i have 37% and ive been using my phone a fair amount today, this battery is amazing

standby battery drain?

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

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

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

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

Battery suddenly drops

Hey all.. Picked up a Verizon Moto X yesterday and am absolutely loving it. I did have a quick question concerning the battery and am trying to figure out if I need to take this one in and exchange it. Yesterday when I was using the phone out of the box it drained fairly quickly. When the battery hit about 18 percent I got a warning that the battery was getting low... less than 30 seconds later I was getting another warning that the battery was at 13 percent and another 30 second I was at 3 percent battery.. I plugged the phone in, charged it to 100 percent and chalked this up to just a weak charge out of the box.
After the phone was off the charger I played a game of dots, watched about 40 minutes of man of steel and went to bed at 86 percent battery. When I woke up 7 hours later battery had drained to 67 percent. I went about my day and wanted to see how the battery served me at work.
Same thing happened this evening where the battery hit about 18 percent and within a minute I was getting a 3 percent warning. I used the phone for about another four minutes and it died completely.
I'm not really complaining about battery life... All in all I had around 21 hours with 2 and a half hours screen on time. I did notice that Google services had the phone "awake" for almost 20 hours. I'm mostly concerned about the sudden drop in battery and was curious as to if anyone else has experienced it. I'm currently letting the phone charge powered off in hopes that it helps. Thanks in advance guys.

My phone does the same thing. The last 20% sucks. Just dies. Lol

Try doing a battery calibration. Check if there's any app sucking the battery that much.
My Moto X today kept 2h and 30 minutes on 1% battery (i've put it on charge before dying), and took like forever to get from 20% to that.
Maybe you got a defective unit.
No cuz it drops quickly to 1% but just like u that last 1% easily goes for half hour to hour. Idk my actual problem is it'll say 14% left then in 10 minutes 4% left!
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
Same here except I have the at&t version
I have the Rogers version and I've had it drop from ~25% to 15% pretty quickly. From 15% to 0 it lasts ok, but it has never stayed on 1 or 2 for very long. I've only gone through 3-4 charge cycles so far. Overall the battery life seems pretty good.
dsuctf which
While mine doesn't drop that quickly, I did go my first day with the phone for 18 hours, and then the next day in pretty much the same conditions it only lasted 11. Going to try again today and see if it does it again.

interesting. mine got to 3% last night and i got "nervous" and plugged it in. has anyone actually killed off the battery yet (shut the phone down)? seems like previous DROID phones would shutdown long before it got to 1%.
had the same issue for weeks. the fix: let phone die completely. then charge phone back up to 100%. I left the phone off while charging (not sure if it is necessary but I did it anyway to ensure that the phones software wasn't causing the phone to charge weird). Once i did this, the phone never dropped from 15 to 1% again and it also doesn't charge from 80% to 100% instantly like it used to.
I ended up taking the phone and exchanging it.. New phone did the same thing.. I let it die completely and charged it overnight while powered off.. Today it was prefect.. Actually have had to try to kill it. Also got my kit kat ota... Absolutely loving this phone. Thanks all!

[Q] How is your battery drain?

Since yesterday I have a LG G Watch R. Very happy with it but the battery drain is terrible this first day: on average 6,40% per hour. That means 16 hours and that is 30 hours less than advertised.
I have tht newest firmware installed, Facer and WatchMaker and some other apps. MAinly standard watchfaces. Screen is always on.
How was your battery the first day and the days after?
I know from the Moto360 forum that that battery needs a number of charges before it functions optimal. Is it the same for the LGWR?

I got mine today. Charged it to 100% After 2 hours of fairly light use with screen NOT set to always on it has dropped to 86%.
So at 7% per hour it will last just over 14 hours.
It will be going back if there is not a huge improvement.
Huge difference between this and the Moto 360. Sold the 360 on craigsllist already.
I am using facer with ambient mode on; this is basically same as having the screen on the entire time. After 14 hours, 60% battery left!!! So happy right now.
I managed 15 hours yesterday and had 5% left when I put it on charge. Its the first day of ownership though and I spent most of the day playing with it!
Today so far is 6% gone in two hours but I've hardly touched it. Jury is out on if this is going to be another battery killer, I won't be charging it through the day and if it doesn't last then its no use to me.
88% after 4 hours today. Much better.
Sitting watching TV, I noticed something was on the watch screen.
When I looked it seemed to be a search for some sort of porn.
I have only noticed this once so far.
My phone used to do random google searches when it was set to respond to "OK Google"
On the second day the drain is much better/less.
I used mine now for prox. 8 hours and 68% remaining. That's 4% per hour. Yesterday (the first day was 6,4% per hour).
Brightness on 4 (from 6) and always on. Watchface is Facer.
I think and hope tomorrow is even better.
Very happy with the phone btw. Beautifull screen, very quick and I like it better than my moto360. Think I'm gonna sell it !
I have great battery life on the R so far. But the battery drain on my phone after installing Android Wear is pretty significant. Anyone else experince this?
I switched off location services when at home and it helped the phones battery life.
Well I've been running now for 13 hours off charge now and still have 53% remaining! I'm much happier with that.
Using digitalog face and used the LGWR a fair amount today.
Agreed on the phone battery drain though, not sure if it's having Bluetooth on all the time or wake locks from Android wear.
67% after 14 hours of very light use.

I'm surprised they don't advertise this.... I need a watch that does random porn searches!!
44 % left after 16,5 hours. So that is again a lot better than yesterday. 3,4% per hour. Always on and a Facer app. Much, much better than my Moto
I took my phone and watch off charge at 13:00 yesterday. Went out for an hour used the watch a few times. Have used both very little since then but they have been on and connected. 28 hours after coming off charge, phone at 75% and watch at 50%. Quite happy with that. I will obviously get less if using it more but at least I know it will easily last a day.

I assume it could happen with any smart watch. I am surprised I have never heard of it before.
It has not done it again.
On my fourth day of use, the drain is only 3,2% per hour. Always on and a watchface from Facer. I'm impressed.
im really pleased with the battery, after a few days use im not worried at all about whether it will last the day or not. the watch face / colour seems to have an impact, i was used a colour face from facer that seemed to drain it quicker but still a full long day took it down to 30% and i mean like 6am - 10pm.
very impressed!
After a full week of using the G WatchR, the drain is steady around 3% per hour.
I can confirm the number. I get 3.3% per drain hour but the watch wakes up quite often because of the cards, emails and messages I receive on all the clients I use (4 of them). As long as I can manage more than 16 hours on a full charge I'm satisfied.

Question How is your batterylife?

I know it depends how you using it and so on. But generally?
I think mine is worse then pixel 4 xl. Have only charged it like 4 times but still. Using some Instagram, Facebook, Spotify, news , youtube.
Mostly wifi and feels like battery is dropping really fast.
I'm getting 7-8 hours SoT when battery hitting around 25-30% left. Here's my thread from my first findings.
Battery life?
So I'm coming from a 3 XL, and I even got the battery replaced April 2021, and I was getting about four hours SoT. My 7 in only two days is blowing my mind. Yesterday I had five hours SoT, and today after a full charge, It went from 100% to 99%...
forum.xda-developers.com
Today's usage.
its about the same as pixel 6 for me maybe a little less from daily usage...but smoother for sure and the phone is a little bit smaller which is always a plus
My battery sucks ATM. Only had like 3 full charges so might settle and getting better , hopefully
Another quick update. Haven't used the phone that much yesterday or today yet, and I'm happy with standby time. Over 34 hours off the charger with over 4 hours SoT, and still has over 40% battery.

LOL what do you want? 20 hours SoT? Maybe because I'm coming from a 3 XL with a 3430 battery that after 4 hours of SoT, and only being off the charger for 12 hours, not well over 30, my battery would be at 10%, not 40%, but to me this is freaking awesome battery life.

Anyone getting battery drain with Spotify?
Was listening for 3h with bluetooth headphones and it said Spotify needed 23% which i feel is quite a lot.
3h display on used 5%
Mine is honestly making me regret buying the phone. Too late, sent my trade in yesterday.
I previously had the Pixel 5a and got around 9.5 hours of screen on time over 24 hours. I think most days I could go about 30 hours before running empty.
My P7 gets around 6 hours of screen time over about 18 hours.
So a battery that's 7% smaller is seeing battery life more than 30% worse.
I'm not very happy with the battery life as you can tell, and I just hope a software update can improve things.

Other than the battery life the phone is fantastic haha. It's not unmanageable, I do keep good high-watt chargers in most places like home, work, car, etc. But sometimes I go do something all day and I'm not near a charger. Guess I'll just get used to using battery saver mode in those situations.
I do enjoy the phone, but the battery giving me anxiety is not very fun.

Yeah. I guess. Working 10 hrs makes me nervous about battery life. Lol.
dont reference your SOT, reference it to your previous phone, everone usage SOT is different, one person maybe have 5 hours SOT but on the camera for 70% one person may have 10 hours but only use it for texting or internet.
What ways have you guys found to extend battery life during normal use? Without having to severely reduce the functionality of the phone, ie 5g or reducing screen brightness a ton. I feel like a modern phone a lot of the point is the screen and 5g so those I wouldn't want to sacrifice
Are there settings or other apps that can help? I'm fairly new to Android and so far I've been a bit disappointed with the battery life of the P7.

What kind of battery life are you getting? I only play around on mine (Instagram, Pinterest, SnapChat, and some Candy Crush games), and my main drain is Clash Royale, and I get around 7-8 hour SoT with 20% remaining. I switched 5G off, and only use LTE because 5G (at least in my area) is bad.
Man, y'all must've been spoiled with like 10+ hours of SOT with your old phones... I get around 6-8 with 30 hrs total which I think is pretty dang good. But like someone else said SOT will be much different from person to person based on device usage. I watched a 2hr downloaded movie from Netflix with airplane mode on and it only dropped 12%. And with adaptive charging, I just charge it all night which it will charge, slowly, till full until my alarm goes off.

Exactly. My experience is the opposite though. I came from a 3 XL, and by the time I switched from it to the 7 my battery capacity was down to around 2800. My 7 is like a God send for me. 7-8 hours SoT with the same use as my 3 XL, and I still have 30% left, when my 3 XL would be down to 2%. I couldn't be happier.
I came from the OnePlus9 and all around the OnePlus9 is a better device.
Google has a great UI experience, but these Tensor2 chips do not compete in performance or efficiency with the Snapdragon 888s or higher.
Theyre missing a lot of the refinement that Qualcomm has done with the hardware and it shows.
For those coming from a Pixel 3-5 series, yes this is a big upgrade, and many got great trade-in deals which is what made me give this phone a shot. It does not however live up to it's MSRP. Im hoping Google is able to refine things to greatly improve efficiency on these devices.
