[Q] Strange battery stats/usage - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hello everyone.
Battery usage menu on my LG 4x shows that majority of battery is used by "android system" its like 70%, while screen shows 2% usage. On my other android devices that i owned it was like 10% max(android system process). Do u think its normal?
PS. My battery goes down rly fast on lg 4x hd.

Try disabling DRM services, i got that usage when the processor is at full power anyway

Drm service disabled, lets see In few hours. Moreover i have all the time about 600 mb ram in use, any1 can tell me what for?
I have wifi gps synchro bluetooth-all disabled.

I disabled It, still same battery usage. That 600-700 ram usage thingy is anoying, can any1 tell me what Is using 70% of ram?

Try disabling all the apps that are carrier made, or use a deodexed rom

check this tread, it also have a remove stock apps scipt to workaround that issue.
Also, download betterbatterystats to check the waterlocks and see what is consuming the battery

Horrible battery life

Hi,
Software and stuff:
JellyMod 4.0
CoCore 5.1
CRT off
4cyl Turbo 0.31
Lately I've been noticing that my battery has been draining like crazy, especially when the screen is off. I turned off wifi and put on airplane mode just to see if it was them causing it, but since 9:00am at 100% it's now 21:00pm and it's down to 58% after 0 hours of use...
Obviously something is wrong but I don't know what
Battery usage is 41% Android OS, 27%Android system, device idle 15% and some other 2-3% things
Please Help,
William
Try removing the 4cyl turbo script. Caused high battery usage to more users.
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
Ok I'll give that a go and tell you how it goes.
Edit:I installed the script and tried the others but nothing seemed to give me better results. At night with the same settings and no 4cyl I only lost 5%... Is there any way of getting this device to get better battery life. Google searches always give me results of stuff I already did...
Thanks,
William

Hey man, did you remove the 4cyl turbo script using the uninstall zip in the op? If so, has it been completely removed? Because after using that uninstall file, when I check in terminal emulator, it shows that the file is still there...

Try to install wakelock detector and see which app that acts like a child and won't sleep throughout your phone usage. The install greenify to auto hibernate that app(s) or just freeze it with romtoolbox / titanium

Overheating might be due to overclocking your device or you might use your device your while charging. If not the above case there is a app which keeps your awake device awake and keeps using your cpu time! So, install a app called betterbattery stats which gives complete info about your phone's state, apps which your CPU ( which will heat your phone) Better Battery Stats this apps needs root permissions to work at it's full potential. You could remove those apps (stock apps) using titanium backup or remove user app manually!

Thx for the answer.
I dont have it overclocked, its all stock v20A and rooted and I still get the overheat unplugged even with normal use. Its not a big issue but it makes me ask why it get warm with basic usage like Facebook, Whatsapp, and web browsing.
I only ask for suggestions of which apps do you recommend to remove.
I might underclock the cpu too.
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
The phone does heat up. I dont know the reason why it heats up so much in stock V20A. It did not feel that warm in ICS.
I dont know about any stock apps that do cause overheating but LG MLT, Google Transport Service and a few other services are huge battery hogs.You would get extra battery life by deleting them or "Freezing" them. Before I switched to CM to try it out, I felt that the battery life improved and was on par the stock CM.I have now.

Xperia V - Huge battery drain (Google Services)

My Xperia V was draining much battery while sleeping, so yesterday I flashed cm-10.1.3-RC2 hoping it could get better.
But it's still draining almost 30% in a period of 8 hours, while I'm sleeping.
I can notice a huge drain caused by Google Services and have already greenified some apps.
It can't be normal, right?! Could someone help me?
Despite this problem, now I have a really better smartphone... So, thank FXP and, please, keep supporting Xperia V. :thumbup:

Not sure if this question belongs to be an own thread...but ok. here we go.
from my experience with Cm i can tell you, if you want better battery life, then you maybe should use a stock firmware!
I used CM and AOKP some weeks before, but the battery drain wasnt normal, not to say horrible.
But this is my experience. You should ask in your CM-Rom Thread, or CM Q/A Thread i think.
I'm a new member and I couldn't ask this in CM thread
I understood what you've said, but even using stock rom I was having that percentage of draining at night...
Do you have a Xperia V?
Could you (or someone else) tell me how much draining is considered normal in the period I've mentioned before?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
30% in 8 hours means that on average your battery will last a day.
That is perfectly normal.
Also, if you keep flashing stuff and installing apps then it drains battery quicker. Leave it alone for a week and see if it settles down.
Sorry, i have a Xperia T.
in the xperia T thread of tilals unofficial CM build (development section) someone mentions also such problems:

Seriously though this ROM is great. All that needs to be fixed are the camera bug, music wakelock thing, and heavy battery usage from Android System and Google Services and then it's basically perfect.

So, i guess its normal? But an actual CM User can give you better report. Not using it anymore.
awww, gregbradley?
30% in 8hours sleeping? horrible....but you are right, let it settle, fmlogin
Omg, my Galaxy s3 loses only 2% in the same period while sleeping, it's a BIG difference
I had been facing this problem since I bought this phone (2 months ago), that's why I tried to flash CM yesterday... So, I think that nothing will change if I just wait...
Anyway, thank you guys...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
apologies, I didn't see that it was 8 hours while you were asleep. That is not right. But it may be because its working hard after a flash. Please leave it for a while and it should settle, or install better battery stats app (Free on xda) and see whats keeping the phone awake.
Also check what your cpu is set at and the governor, if its on performance it will be maxing out all the time..
The governor is ondemand and I didn't change the clock of cpu...
I'll install the app and come back with a screenshot, so I think it'll be easier to find some problem

Hi,
I'm running the stock firmware. The battery drain during one night (about 8 hours) is ~ 5%.

Mavhia, can you notice an unusual consume from google services?
Good to know that this isn't happening only with my phone.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Some screenshots.
The graphs show another problem: it is like the phone just know that lost some battery when I turn on the screen.
For example: if I leave the phone with 95%, it pass the hole night "thinking" it has this value, but when I turn on the screen the battery instantly loses around 15%, this "fast drain" stabilizes when it reaches the "real percentage".
Could it be a hardware problem? The battery itself...
Has already someone noticed something similar?

i m facing the exact same problem .... please anyone help us out... google play serivces is draining batttery like hell and also my battery is lossing its charge like say 5% instantly ..... i have also re-calibrated battery but no luck here is battery graph for google play services i have also freezed this app in titanium backup but still drain and wake locks
Thanks for share it here too.
Except for this problem, I really appreciate this phone.

Got the same problem about 3 months ago..
I did a factory reset....back up all your apps and data,factory reset your phone if you can't find any other solutions...

Massive battery drain after JB update.

Hi,
I was so satisfied with how good battery lasts till JB update came. Before that I would rarely charge before night but now I have to do it every night I am sort of light to average user. My main concern brought this stats you can see screen shot where android system uses most of the battery. What is going onhhere? I have a few apps that using but not much changed in my habits. I am with 3UK

Did you do a full wipe after the update?
Yes I did. All from the scratch. I just red that one htc one owner had similar issue and his fast boot option was off he enabled it and things got way better. so was mine off just enabled it.
Why is everyone so surprised at Android System being at the top of the new battery stats?
It makes sense really. If you don't use your phone a lot, and nothing else is running taking up power, the system is going to be at the top...
As far as an actual drop in battery life, I'd download GSM battery monitor or Better Battery Stats and check for wakelocks.

Yeah I agree, especially if you reset your battery monitoring often, it can be highly confusing and misleading to read battery usage stats. I use Du Battery Monitor which I've been happy with.
I have wakelock detector installed. And also noticed android system wakelocks on cpu wakelocks are high on the high. Higher than anything else. And this happend in the first half an hour I am on the phone. First screenshot is cpu wakelock and second is wakelock triggers.
What would you guys advice to monitor for battery usage : over what time period and what to pay attention most. My wake lock detector is on now and I will do more screenshots tonight.

Well at least your phone is going into deep sleep and doesn't look like any rogue app. You may want to Greenify facebook though.
Also look here for a battery "calibration", some say it worked for them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43579577&postcount=36105
And don't forget you need to let your battery "settle" which takes a couple of days.

How would you advice to tackle FB. It looks FB is persistent though on battery guru it's set to refresh it self ,,only when you open it,,
I will do factory reset again and then battery calibration later.

Third one appears when low battery for extra savings. Second one I don't have a clue now. I normally have two icons.

Are your network location services on or off? If they are on, try turning them all off (as well as any Google Now network location service stuff). I found that sometimes the Google services updated badly and went into a situation where the battery would drain rapidly due to constant wakelocks.

I...don't think 16 hours is terrible considering that you seem to have been doing some Youtube and PDF-reading. The percentage on that PDF viewer seems pretty high but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Facebook is obviously the biggest culprit remaining.
I would try to use Facebook in your browser instead of the app. I'm not a heavy Facebook user and don't need the notifications. It gave me a big battery boost after deinstalling the app. Facebook is constantly syncing and tracking your location, it's very batterie unfriendly

I have thought the same today to have FB on browser rather than app. It is strange I have tweaked FB app a lot like refresh only 4 hours, no notifications left on but app still awakening mad. Now only FB bothers me other apps behave well and I get pretty good battery consumption.

Are you using a custom ROM? If yes which one?
Generally it's a normal thing to see your battery drain faster when you use (Wi-Fi/GPS/3G).
Yes i use Cm 11 23/08 nightly

GPS + Data + display consume a lot of battery
I used google maps and in 30 min it lost about 15-20% battery...
Maybe with other rom it'll be better. Actually I have KK from Mackay

Use this app to see what keeps your device awake and then use the privacy guard to adjust your apps accordingly. I saw a big improvement when I disabled some apps that were waking my device up all the time.
But you can't really do anything to stop the battery consumption when you use GPS/3G/Wi-Fi.
