Rom, kernel, settings for best battery life. - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone.
The best mix of that and settings for everyday usage(not gaming) calls, 3g internet browsing(mostly),bit of radio FM, music player.
Lots of Devs say theirs roms are last for 2-3 days, I have tried a few and is hard to survive 10 hours
Thanks in advance.

Which rom and kernel are you using ?????

most roms for me survives for about 18 hours or so none have reached 2 days maxed at 1 day maybe the 2 days they are talking about is when you dont touch the phone in2-3 days

Which rom and kernel is/was best for you I mean battery on it is/was last longer?

Well well.. I am using Gingerzaraki with Alfs and I get backup of mostly 1 day and above with normal usage(sms,phone,wifi,games). I charge my phone every alternate day.
On GDx and PrimeHD I used to get mostly 18-20 hours

maybe you can try gingerbread ROM
liki Gdx, MiniCM, Gzaraki
because ICS still get battery drain (little) average = 25 hours

i think 3g is a huge battery drainer, it doesnt matter in which rom you are, anyway, here are some tips i found once...

That I think 3g drains most.
I am on Presto by Haka rom and nAa v13 Ondemand governor, CPU 19-600 MHz and undervolted
22 hours and got 11% left
But without 3g, WiFi only. I'll see tomorrow with 3g

Minicm7 naa
3g ON everytime, wifi 15 min, 15 min of calls, ultra brightness, facebook (friendcaster), google+, no games, undervolt + smartass v2 122-748, swap, tapatalk and bla bla bla
PD: 7 hrs airplane mode
PD2: is werid but when i turn off 3g my battery drain fast (18 hrs with the same configurations)

I wish for your battery.my battery lasts 7 hours of normal usage
Thinking of buying moto defy mini.it isnt plastic as x8.

FroyoPro with Alfs8 is a really good combination for both good battery life and good performance for daily use.

and you forget to say to never use the phone...
btw why the hell you have a smartphone if dont even use it?!
in the end, all gingerbread roms have equal battery comsuptions, it depends how you use your phone and how apps you have installed..
use 3G, wifi, games and i want to know if last for 1 day

how much mah of battery cud it be dat he/she gets upto 8days .... haha..
Mine last normally 15 hours,on Smartass v2 and 691mhz OC,with nAa Kernel and MiniCM7.2 (Latest versions).For me is a good battery life,and i really use my phone!
Charging every night...it can last a day easily.
Just kill the apps..and turinig off Blue..wi fi..3g...
I am charging every day battery if i using 3g/hsdpa. If not - once on 2 days

[Q] Whats your longest battery runtime ?

Hey all
I'm happy with my phone, currently running wiui on it
I wanted to hear whats yours longest battery time ?
What ROM and kernel was used ?
Mine personally is for now 17 hours on a normal workday
running on stock 2.2 ... with miui (the last version) I had 6-7 hours :
I am on Django 0.5 with HP RC-11R and i am on 29% presently after 2days 14hrs...with mild to medium usage with little wi-fi, small usage of 3G and voice calls medium.....I am greatly happy....it all depends on how you keep the battery calibrated, system usage, charging cycle pattern and a few more....
It was almost the same with Topo's ROM, Blazing Dragon and also Thanatos 5.1....so it is a bit of care and great magic from our developers....
Hats off all you guys who are making LG O2X such a entertaining and stable device.
medium use (3g on, mail, facebook, twitter, google +, movies, some games, video calls) : 6-7hrs
hard use (wi-fi on, mail, facebook, twitter, google +, movies, lots of games, video calls, messeging, some apps, gps) : 3-3,5 hrs
Stock 2.3.4 20L
with medium use (3g always on or wifi if available; 30 min surfing; few smsing (around 10) and calling (30 minutes); no gps; 30 min gaming) leads to around 24 hours of battery life
I'm really happy with my cm kanged by temasek (#30) and vadonkas kernel (#12.jan)
kind regards

I did not know that Topo was doing CM7Kangs for LG O2X.....does he? can you give me a link?
With low use (some textmessages and 15min gaming, 2g and wifi) i get around 30hours (HP kernel v20o)
I once lasted 4,5days when i travelled to france. I don't know how but the battery life was much better over there. (stock v20b)

Im running 15 hours on latest WIUI ROM
really want more hours.. tired of charging every evening and night
Realistically 15/20 hours is about right for a smartphone nowadays. Unless companies start making phones a bit thicker so larger batteries can go in them.
Unless you really edit the phone, underclocking etc, you wont be able to push more than 1-1/2 days out of the phone.
Can I recommend better battery stats app available either on the market or on xda. Helped me discover a few apps that kept running (partial wakelocks) all the time and therefore affected battery life.

I'm using Battery Monitor Widget AND SystemPanel Lite
I just envy the iPhone guys... I'm repairing iPhones in my spare-time, and the batteries arent any bigger than ours (1500mAh)
but they last 2-3 days, because of the way better battery management and optimized hardware
But when thats said, I would never leave this open-source world !
just look around, all the ROMs and free stuff we can get, they cant Muhahaha

[Q] Best rom + kernel for battery life on p990

Hi guys,
i want to know the best rom + kernel for a long battery life in 3g with our lg p990
now i mount the last MIUI 2.4.20 + kernel etana OC with all profile setted, and in 2g i can cover all the day, remaining about 20/30 % before midnight
in 3g instead, with an intensive use, in 6 hours, the battery drain to 5/10%
i have the BB of v20q, the 725
what are your results in 3g?..wich rom you mount to reach them with?
thanks in advance
You should give one of the froyo roms a try if you want max battery life.

Temasek CM7 + Temasek kernel with voodoo sound.
1gg 21h wi-fi ON and medium usage
1 day 21hours with wifi on and medium usage? are you f**king kidding me... not in a million years stop bulls**ting please.
i dont know about wi-fi turned on, but i have been trying both misjugedtwats\temaseks kangs with etana 3.0.31 and djangos 1.3 beta 15 with spicas horsepower supersonic 10 and they both last for about 2 days, sometimes almost 3. tho i always have data turned off (unless i receive an mms) wi fi hardly ever on but i do play some games tho especialy dead space and asphalt 6
oh i was thinking, for a normal use, you can always try using it with a lower clock, i found out you can even run any hardcore game on the market on this phone at 800 mhz without any lag
also if you guys complain about battery life on o2x, you should try the optimus black, i had 1 for about a month and the battery lasts for about half of the time the o2x battery does and thats funny if you consider it has less than half the performance on an o2x plus the fact that the p970 was at stock clock and my p990 is oc'd to 1.4 ghz, but then again, i read somewhere that tegra is a lot more energy eficient than any other mobile cpu out there (idk if its true tho)
Replaced the baseband to 313 on my stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 LG 2x and the phone had still 20% left after 1 day of light use, always with 3G network coverage, no switching to 2G.
And I have WiFi, data plus GPS enabled all the time. The phone only uses these technologies if needed, no reason to manually turn them on or off.
temasek unofficial build + temasek snappy kernel
With owains 67 and spicas horse kernel I cover about 1-1,5 days(30hrs) with wifi on for 2 hours per day.. I think that's pretty good for ICS

I think you should try latest versions of DjangoManouche 1.5 ... they have scripts runngin daily to keep the phone in an optimal state
i prefere to stay "stock" at CM7.2 + CM Kernel. CM 7.2 gives me a good performence, battery life and stability.
Update it to 20S with Lg mobile. I noticed a minor battery drain than 20Q.
I tested hundreds of custom roms/kernels and I can say that I drained at least two years of my battery life looking for the best rom/kernel which could save battery.

noticing 20q and 20s strings, i presume you've also tested various basebands? i've noticed different battery drain on different basebands while running the same rom/kernel.

I tested many roms/kernels but few basebands; somebody wrote that bb doesn't impact on battery, I don't know, maybe everything does.
Here there are many developers-and-sellers who say that using their kernel you can save some percentage of your battery. But at the end of the day I want to charge the phone anyway because I want to work with it the day after; who cares of how much battery is left? maybe it is a fake problem.
After all these tests with inconsistent results I decided to stop and to keep the LG standard release: no more wasting time, no more backup-restore and no more battery drain with Clockworkmod vibrations.

How much on screen time do you guys get?

How much on screen time do you guys get with not much running. I mean with the screen on non-stop, without any app on or video playing, just on the home screen.
Does this look like normal battery life to you guys?(wifi is on but i dont have anything synced)
Only last about 3min 30sec before 1% goes down

I usually browse the internet using 3g i get 3 min per 1% with 25% display brightness( about 5 hrs or more, non stop). Alba lrg v4 by xoac 747.
i see so i guess my battery is normal, maybe i was just paranoid about the ics battery because i never actually payed attention to my battery% on GB.
record of five hours on gb and speedmod k2 just browsing
record 4.5 hours on cm9, undervolted, pdroid and supercharged with v6, the crashes bugged me thought, fc fix didnt always work with permissions. Also only browsing. But really light browsing. Heavy then 4 hours.
both with governator ondemand and scheduler deadline, set to 90% cause I dont mind performance.
both ultra clean installs, straight to rom version with no ota/kies updates.
exchange set to push, and 4 accounts
Connectivity : wifi

It depends really. You'll get more screen on time watching videos than browsing for example. Open a pure black image, set screen to not timeout and brightness at minimum and im pretty sure you'll get a huge screen on time.

Yes that one thing i really want to know, how to manage that with network connection still on whatever is 3G/wifi .. like i said before 3 to 4 hours is the best screen on time i always had
Alba LRG v4 by XAOC 747
Using 3g while browsing the internet untill i consume the 5 hrs, 3g consume more than wifi.
5 hrs using notecore, if i use speedmod it will go up.
25% screen display brightness and also the internet.
No adjustment in cpu speed
No undervolting
No power save
Yea 5 hours is about how much i can get with constant wifi and 2g on with some browsing
the best i can get is only 3 hours :/

Ohhh my God 2 days and 4 hours which version of temasek you using and which vadonka version of kernel? I'm using 135.4 temasek and used latest Etana stock lite kernel
In standby mode with turned on WLAN and on 2G (running Temaseks CM7 Builds, forgot the kernel) I had a battery drain of 1% in 4 hours. The room was pretty cold though! So not a lot of heat for the phone to deal with.

i think that is Temasek 129 or 130 (not quite sure because the settings show 1xx, but i know that every newer rom 131-135 didn't work for me)
kernel is Vadonka's OC (from 07-2012 i think)
btw this 2 day battery life is with processor 216-1100 Mhz setting (not with that 1504 mhz from antutu screen)
Guys any idea why my phone. Sucking. Battery even. No app instaled. Bare. Rom still. Drain. On standby no wifi. No data. No phone. Call same drain?

Pics or it didn't happen. Or maybe it was a battery reading bug, what happened after those 4 hours? Did it still not drain anything or started overcompensating for not draining in the first 4 hours?
Ya have that problem too whenever I get hope it drained less suddenly it's deepen the graph ...you guys really lucky having 2 days standby that's seriously great

It actually did happen and it wasn't a battery reading bug. After a few minutes of usage my battery percentage sunk by 1%. As usual. No clue how that happened but the room was seriously cold (around 2-3 degrees Celsius.) and I haven't touched the phone at all. Also the processor was clocked at 216mhz the entire time.
Unfortunately that was back in June and I have no way to prove it. This did really happen though. I was pretty shocked too when I saw the ridiculously low drain.
