LG Optimus 2X - Battery usage/performance/quadrant scores

Hello there guys,
I'm wondering what roms/launchers etc you are running, what widgets, what your average use of your phone is and how long the battery lasts with all of the junk that you are using.
Ofcourse, this topic will also serve the purpose as to help people with tweaks, ideas for powersaving etc.
I'll start off with my Optimus 2X Speed running on a stock ROM.
I'm using LauncherPro, just because it looked nice.
I've got a blackish sort of background with just the most needed apps on it, such as the games I frequently play, a battery widget, camera etc. Not using the weather gadget btw! As it seemed to eat my battery..
Also monitoring my 3G usage with 3G Watchdog.
--
Recently using Autokiller Memory Optimiser (might have gotten the name wrong..) I'm having around 160-170mb of RAM free, this with a task killer running, 3G Watchdog, Lookout, Battery Widget and Superuser.
Scoring a proper 2450 on Quadrant Benchmark.
My battery lasts around a day with pretty heavy use.
I often take it out to game for a while, an hour a day or so, shoot some pictures, send a lot of 'What'sApp' messages etc.
Charge it up at around 18:00 and have around 25% battery remaining the next day at the same time.
I'd love to hear your experiences, uses, complains, tips etc.

o2x currently running cyanogenmod 7 #111 nightly (2.3.5)
apps: droidwall, juice defender, automatic task killer
battery usage is similar to mafs'
quadrant score 3127 (not OC'd)

was using DJDroid v0.7,it has good battery life, using 1% every 1+ hrs during standby while using juice defender.
the quadrant is only around 2200 to 2400+.

I use cyanogen mod nightly I don't look at benchmarks, but the battery is really better than in stock. I can stay 3 day in idle and when I'm on the internet (with wifi) my battery goes down 10% per hour (a bit too much ).

10%/ hour is quite good, my SGS sucked 20% in an hour.

I just don't understand. Cm7 tiamat 1.1.4 smartass v2 newest radio and matching ril, no wifi and background data turned completely off. This is significantly worse than any other rom including stock. Any ideas?

Charge to 100 percent then delete battery stats.
See if that helps.
It's the best rom for battery for all others i've talked to

I've calibrated the battery twice since installing CM7 in the past 4 days. I am even underclocking with Incredicontrol at -75, but to no avail.

HMM Android system is chewing through battery.
I'm not really sure why.

Is your Android System in battery config not using roughly the same percentage?

Ooh God no...
Mine isn't even in the list.

I don't know if it will help as I just downloaded it today but this app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.freeb.automm seems like it should help battery life because you can customize how much memory goes to background applications.

@Scoobysnacks Are you using Cynogenmod or MIUI? I'm on MIUI and found that Android System and Call Standby always seem to be listed in at the top of the battery use processes (much more than Display). Whereas for Sense ROMs, Display is almost always at the top.

try a modified kernel , like tiamat

Oops sorry didnt see you already using it. Make sur you use 1.1.4 and not .5 because that kernel has battery problems you could try stock cm7 kernel as well
Sent from my Blade using xda premium

same here, android system 40%, standby 36%.
im on miui.us 1.11.4 and tiamat 1.1.5

Currently Mobile standby 47% and phone idle 45% for me. Android system not in the list.
CM7.1 and Tiamat 1.1.5, so it can't be the kernel or the ROM. Did you do a full wipe?
Try running logcat on the phone and seeing what messages are in there, something seems to be keeping the phone awake a lot judging by the blue stripes below your graph.

Huge battery drain w/ Zeus v6.22

Okay I flashed Zeus yesterday and I like it a lot.. Only problem is the HUGE battery drain, mainly due to phone not going in deep sleep according to CPU spy and battery use (mostly always awake)... I don't know what is causing this but I'm suspecting some apps namely:
Avast! Antivirus
Hotmail (w/ push notifications)
Raging Thunder 2 (strangely open itself, using 1.2mb RAM)
Perfect Applock
Alarm Clock Xtreme
And some traditional one (facebook, twicca,etc)
All apps requiring refresh like Fb and twicca have 4 hours interval..
I didn't OC or anything.
Can anyone help me to improve my battery life?
EDIT: I found the culprit(s)! It was definitely Perfect Applock!! Now no more battery drain! I also turned off push notifications for Hotmail app.

Hotmail is a very "hot" canditate, its famous due his battery drain. To control the apps and his battery consumtion try the app "better battery stats". It will tell you more.
Regards!

Before use "better battery stats" check if your OB go in deep sleep with Cpu Spy
If not, use ZeusTweaker and change governor,after 30 minute replace your favorite Governor (obviously after having checked that the phone goes in deep sleep)
This has worked in my case

Realy strange!
In some cases I have hear, that the alarm app can cause such a behavior.
An other posibility ist a corrupted batterystats file. In this case use batterycalibration to erase this at full charge.
Another good tip ist to charge and discharge the battery 3 times completely.
And an anytime tip is use betterbatterystats to get better information. The author generously offer this app for freee to xda-users, just search here.

Try SetCPU and set it to maximum 800MHz

The Best way is flash kernel and custom rom

Just flash the HydraCore 0.7 kernel and set SetCPU to 1.2Ghz with pegasusq governor. Also make a profile for when the screen is off to 500mhz Max. I get around 10 hours of heavy usage daily. And well over 14 hours of normal usage.

Not that it matters though but I just root my phone, take those bloatwares off *using TB and install 2 apps for my battery saving thing.... - Android Assistant and battery Saver (both in google play), one as a tasker to turn off all apps that runs everytime I reboot my phone, and the other to set the maximum battery profile on what I just need my phone to use on to. Average, I get about 2 days max on my phone(with SpeedMod as well).. eg. Email and data on. I get to set my profile to turn off my wifi everytime I leave the house and turn it on again when I come home at night. Screen brightness at 20% and not using any LWP at all. Just normal static ones.
P.S. ROMS matter as well, stock ICS drains pretty much, that's what I can say.. I'm using Chrack's final one and yeah.. never been this satisfied and contented as before. That's all I can say....

I think you're perfectly fine. Even better than me. I usually keep my 5G off - don't really need it most of the time and it drains the battery faster than 4G

Wanna trade?

But how long time should the battery stand screen on ,can it make screen on for 5 hr!?

What is the MiuiMix please!?

Put the refresh down to 60 or 90 , most apps I use don't support 120hz anyway.
I can even lower the resolution to FHD+ and it barely annoys me anymore
Especially if I know I want it to last the whole day
Changing from 5g to 4g helps a lot of if you're using it to navigate with Google maps, runs much cooler too

Something is wrong if you'd losing 70% that fast with everything turned down low, factory reset or new ROM probably best

This is a whine. Battery usage is different for every user. Depending on a variety of situations, like apps or features that autostart and/or run in the background, as well as refresh rate, how often you use the phone and type of usage, etc...
