[Q] The battery drains very fast - LG Optimus Black

Hello fellow please help please my optimus black is consuming the battery you'll quickly!
happens that they changed the plate to OB and I returned it and everything seemed normal, but When I upgrade to GB (I handed the phone with froyo) because now tells me that the mobile radio consumes up to 70% of the battery and that I have it in airplane mode, the truth is frustrating because in almost 2 hours battery runs out, you do not, someone has had a similar problem? or a solution? thanks
sorry for my bad english.

Do a factory rest.

Try with another battery if you can get or borrow another one.Maybe is just a worn out battery.

does it get hot? some how untouchable hot?

Share the details of battery, how many years old the battery and how many hours of talk-time you used and your average usage.
Try factory reset, battery calibration, don't use more widgets on homescreen, clear cache frequently and close background apps
These are some TIPS, I have excellent battery performance with CM10

The OB only one year, almost did not used to call, only to hear music, whats app, wifi, gps sporadically, the problem started since the turn of the plate, and now worse, I lost the imei to back to froyo: (

I have the same issue, I am using Mackay 4.2.2 ROM but the battery drains from 100% to 30% in 3 hrs - with phone in standby most of the time. Not sure what the problem is. I was using Huexx GB ROM and my battery used to stay for 2 days

You have to check a few things (in order)...
Check if Wifi/GPS/bluetooth/mobile data is on
Clear cache and dalvik cache from recovery
Flash the ROM wiping only cache and dalvik cache (this will restore some values in system files that could cause the battery drain). If you used some app like Pimp My Rom or mess with system files, this step is important
Make sure that there aren't any app that is causing the battery drain (you can use this app to do that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en )
Check the baseband, and do a match. If Froyo, use v10X, if Gingerbread use v20X, if ICS use v30X. In each version, use the one for your country. For an example, I'm from Portugal and I have IZS, then I use v30B baseband from Portugal (you can download the basebands here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1 and here you can use this tool to extract the FLS (aka baseband) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692191 ) and then wipe cache and dalvik cache
Factory reset
Factory wipe (from recovery), wipe cache, dalvik cache, format /system and /data, delete .android_secure located in the sd card and flash the ROM again
After this and you still have battery problems, try another ROM.
Note: This steps applies to any ROM.

It's a bit much but it's normal that Mackay uses at least 3 times as much battery as Zeus 6.4.

Zeus was best but as it was GB I left it. Will try IZS soon, but Mackay seems a big problem. I have tried few more but all are like the same (all JB ROMs). Not sure if all LGP970 users facing the same

Mackay and all another CM Roms have heavy battery train.
Use Zeus or Marvel, with Marvel i delete all unnecessary Apps, my Black runs 3-5 days.

HELP!!! A fairly complex rebooting issue

Here goes; Apologize for the new thread, but due to the complexity i am posting here, (And i couldn't find any issue with the same complexity)
I have been using the note with no issues till about 24 hours ago. However last night -- while i was asleep note battery drained from 100%-0 in like 4 hours.
I recharged in, and assuming that its a kernal issue (I was on ICS 4.0.4 with g-note core kernal)... i changed it to 6 from 6.1, and then upon release of 7 -- i upgraded. the battery dropped from like 15%-0 in no time. After recharging while on the same kernal -- signal started to drop while on calls (I didnt post on the kernal thread -- as i am not sure if it is related).
So i decided to reflash the rom, with safe wipe kernals.... I tried first gnote 3.10, CM9 RC2
then stock 4.0.4 LRG
Stock 4.0.3 LPA
and even gingerbread 2.3.6 LC1.. now i am on this with zero non-stock apps, no SD card, stock Rom with stock CSC.
Now the phone acts as below,
If not connected to power it reboots as soon as you start... After GT-7000 logo (sometimes i can see the bootanimation starting.)
If it is connected to power it fully boots.. and then switches off almost immediately. (boot animation flickers)
It lasts a while longer on recovery -- i was able to flash... and almost do a full back up.,
Download mode works fine and i have been able to flash via Odin as well.
phone says battery is fully charged!
*on the latest reboot --- battery showed at 1% (in andriod) and immediately rebooted. In the cahrging mode it says its full!!!
Any ideas whats going on? or any suggestions i can try???
Thanks in advance!
Have you wipe cache and wipe data on gb rom?
If not, go to recovery and wipe cache n data, and full charge n discharge once.

Unfortunately the note doesn't react to the charger when the battery is removed which may have helped in eliminating a dud battery as a problem. Do you have access to another battery, at least in order to eliminate that side of things?

Unfortunately no.. with a bit of luck i can locate one... battery been a dud could also be a possibility -- though i guess its unlikely, as its just a couple of months old...
Agree with roy-w
First try another battery then only it gives idea.

Weird problem with battery. I dont know what to do

I have different problem. When my battery is full everything is ok ( it is possible to play games, surf on via net ) however when it is around 30%-40% when i start a game or 3g a few minutes later screen shows me a massage that my battery is empty and my mobile will be turn off. When i turn on it again battery status has a " X " inside ( so battery is empty ). Its not possible to drain 30% battery in 2 minutes . It is only when phone draining battery more! ( games , 3g , wifi , camera )
Pls help me
PS now i am on the stock rom 2.3.4 ( the newest one )
I had CM 7.2 CM 10 and ICS. Before ICS everything was ok ...
I tried:
battery stats wipe
full drain then full charge
No effects
Did you try a full wipe, a factory reset or even a smart- or nvflash?
This will probably fix it as it does not look like a hardware related problem, if you want to keep your data simply make a nandroid backup, nvflash back to 10b, then restore the backup via CWM

Question 1: Ye , of course. I did all of them.
Ad 2.
I did everything with smartFlash. I have never used nvflash. Would you tell me a full name of this rom ?
Currently i am using:
LGP990AT-00-V20q-EUR-XX-JAN-24-2012+0_AP
Why should I use 10b rom ? The newest is better I think :>
A few minutes ago I installed a CM 7.2 with etana Kernel. I will test it for 2 days. Then i will do what u tell
EDIT:
The same issue on CM7.2 What should I do ?

It rather looks like a battery calibration problem to me. Download this app called battery calibration from the play store and charge the battery to hundred percent and calibrate your battery. Should solve your problem.
Battery calibration won't solve this, it's useless! Calibration removes batterystats, which are deleted everytime you fully charge your phone.
To me it seems that battery is broken.

Packet data disconnects itself

I am having trouble with the packet data, it keeps disconnecting itself at random times. One minute i am surfing the facebook and the next minute the 2G/3G icon above the network bars goes off, the settings>about phone>status says Mobile Network State:Connected, but IP address:unavailable. Signal strength remains same as usual. The Packet Data settings in Mobile and Networks remains enabled(checked) but it just stops working.
This used to happen before when i was using Apocalypse(CM7) rom and happens now also with PAC rom(CM10).
At times i do an advanced restore of the system and it starts working again but sometimes even that also doesn't help. I have also tried switching on airplane mode and turning it off to see if the phone catches the signals again and hope it starts working again but it never helps. I usually keep '2G only' option clicked but i have tried switching it off and still it does not work. I am not using any other app that controls my packet data.
Any fixes, suggestions or opinions please??
Anyone??
I also facing the same problem as you on pac rom
Do a full wipe & reflash. It should work & also there is a gps fix for the apocalypse. Try it & tell.

Well i did a full wipe when i flashed both these roms, i always do a full wipe before flashing a rom, still i'll try it again. But i was hoping someone could explain the exact cause of the problem because i faced this in two different roms, otherwise i would have posted this in the rom's thread itself.
What does the gps fix has to do here?
I used the lagloose's gps fix when i used apocalypse, gps worked fine, only the data gave trouble. I am probably one of the very few people who had barely one or two bugs in apocalypse, rest all have a long list of bugs with apocalypse.
Was this a rom specific issue?
I face this on my network on every rom I try, and usually, all it takes is to switch the net off from the status bar toggle and use an app called "Restart Connection" (very small app, search play store)
And then switch packet data back on from the status bar...
Works 70% of the time...

I haven't used apocalypse much bcoz I prefer stability & long battery. The problem might be anything. Donno what in specific but mostly an unclean system. Once I used a .lib file to fix cm9 camera & as it didn't work, I thought of going back to the myth 2 go green rom. I wiped everything & flashed the myth but you know what happened ? My camera was getting a fc & my battery drained off in 10 mins ! I hope you can relate things. Do this, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache, wipe battery stats ( has given me a bit better battery life everytime ), format data/cache/system/sd-ext. Do this twice if you want & then make a clean flash by following the exact steps. If there's no bug in the apocalypse, then this will,must & should help. I guarantee you. If still this doesn't help, I bet no app on earth can help you overcome. Report it to itasoulas & ask for a fix or just flash any other rom...

Maybe an app that is newly installed or updated?
If I couldn't manage to solve it I would have restored to an earlier backup of your current rom and checked if that solved it. Of course take a backup first.
If restoring solves it I would have tried to reflash rXtreme v.8 without wipe. If the battery usage is still normal I would then reinstall those missing apps / tweaks one by one and check if they are responsable for the battery issue.

So your saying install rxtreme and then reinstall each app separately?
I normally use titanium backup to restore my roms.

Restore in recovery mode to a time when your current rom didn't had those battery issues. If you want to you can use titanium to reinstall your missing apps if there are any, but do them separately as you said. One by one and test your battery after each reinstall.

Same Issue
Hi I have exactly the same issue and as I have no restore I have tried removing my most recent apps, which has made no difference, my i9305 is even going so far as to drain whilst on charge if I am calling for the duration. Im using most recent CyanogenMod.
Thanks so much for all your help

Go back to stock JB, and see if you have problem there. That's how you will see if the problem is because of CM11 or it is some hardware problem.
Same
Me too experiencing this problem. I changed to a new Samsung battery off eBay after which i tried CM11. Its not there always. If i keep phone idle with almost every connectivity toggled OFF, it charges, but when Wi-Fi is on but not in use, the charging is pretty slow or sometimes no progress at all.

look the last thing that i will do its to install this slow ass stock
im sure on 200% that if i will reinstall the cm its will help just i dont want to wipe my phone now just
all my cm and android files has been ****ed up i think
the stock will not help im sure
If you don't want to go back to JB and do a clean install, you should wipe everything and format system, flash TC Cm11, boot, power off and recovery again, wipes (everything again) and flash the CM u want to use, then gapps -> happiness. Give it a try.
Edit: Stock JB is extremely bad if you don't clean it. There are too many APK files and this phone can't handle that much. That's why Fmod was created... Based on LQE deodexed and deleted every apk what is not needed. With this you can get the most stable rom (CoCore is needed too), the only way to crash sth on it is to go into the test apps. There are some things that are deleted from it.
I have a charging problem too, on cm based cook rom only. Sometimes the battery seems to drop when i connect the phone to use its usb storage

I use the charger that came within the Box. As some of u z.. i too think this could be the prob of the battery, though CM11 of our's is not currently good in Battery backup i guess.

Well,it depends from what you mean with "good"
For me every custom Rom has the same results in battery backup,that is at least 2,5 hours of sot,screen on time,sometimes I get worse sot,sometimes I get better sot,it varies from time to time according to what you do with your phone..btw you should try to change your charger & compare the results..often a damage inside the wire isn't visible with naked eyes,maybe some micro cuts you can barely see at sunlight,can be the reason of your issue mate..
Have a good night pals
