Good Morning folks,
as some of you are already proud owners of a LG2x, I would like to know how the battery lifetime really is. Are you guys satisfied? How intensive are you using your device?
It would be nice, if you can describe what you are running, like wifi, gps and so on... pretty sure you know what to write to give me and the others a clear view on the battery lifetime ;-)
cheers,
Manuel
Yesterday I got the phone.
On very very very hard use it took me about 7 hours for the phone to be 0%. That is kinda good in my eyes.
Today I'm doing normal use, to see how the battery goes.
I withnised 100% tot around 60% went kinda fast, but from 60% till 0% took a while
So stay tuned for the today test.
I got the phone the day before yesterday started charging it. Then in the afternoon it was fully charged and i started to play around with it. It did good but then today i had it fully charged overnight and now - at around 15:00 it dropped below 15%! I hadn't been using it for other than a few calls, a few texts and less than 10 minutes fooling around.
Something is up - i don't know what, but the battery info shows most battery usage was drained due to cell standby and mobile standby...
I don't know what really caused this Other than that i love this phone, i just hope i find the reason for this insane drain soon - i tried rebooting and even installed advanced task killer

Hello, I cant really help much on the battery issue other than to say give it a few more cycles before getting too upset.
The last new battery I had in my iPhone took a week to really settle down.
I would uninstall advanced task killer as I believe it has issues with froyo and is not really needed.
Ok thanks - i think i will then
had the phone 2 days now, and feel like the battery drains fairly fast, had a BB before this and im not used to having to charge everyday. Will se how it goes the next couple of days.
Ok, it seems a lot of people already got their device. Is there someone who could try to unload (by heavy use or something else) and reload the battery again and again to get a feeling of the behavior after some loads?
Thanks!
Update: I have an update from a German guy for you who claims to found out that the service "nvrm_daemon" is the one which consumes the most power. Anyone an idea what it is? The "nv" in the name sounds like nvidia...

nvrm has something to do with the NVIDIA kernel module.

Yes, it seems related to Tegra.
I googled and found this little quote about the offending service on a site dealing with the Toshiba AC100 that also use the Tegra 2 chipset:
it makes suspend, sound and cpu frequency scaling work

Isnt it coz that dual core isnt supported very well in 2.2?
Should be fixed in 2.3.

hey xmoo, how come your always one of the first having such nice devices? if i remember right you had the hd2 pretty fast as well back in okt. 2009.
i wanna have it toooo
48 hours.
Way better than the Nexus One. Not much more I can say.
Most importantly, not much more I will say on battery. It's too subjective and circumstance specific.

I should be clear - I do not mean +48 hours battery, I mean I have used the phone for only 48 hours... This includes charging.
But still, much better than my Nexus One. At the same time with the same apps and usage I have 40% and on my Nexus I would have 15%.
We all still need some days (~1 week) for the battery to settle.

but lg said three days ago the 2x will be available end of next week. so now its up to amazon and its time to say goodbye to htc ... im really curious about the lg 2x
@xmoo thanks for your impressions of battery life. i was a little afraid of power consumption because of the dual core but that sounds fair
hi, 72 hours with the Optimus 2x and i have the same problem with the battery, it drains so fast!! with few use from 7am till 17pm 100%-32% !!! but i think today is better..

Ok i'm doing a real-life test atm after a few charging cycles.
What did I do/ have I on?
Have I on: Everything (gps, data, wifi (if possible),...)
What did I do: Some gaming, few youtube movies, few short calls, watching mails, some internet browsing, send a few texts.
I'm using the app : Juicedefender in combination with ultimatejuice (this prolonged my battery 2.14x!!!
How long? : Atm i'm using my cell (from full charge) for 44 hours and I still have 39% left! This means that i could get it to run for 3 days on 1 charge!
Note: this is after doing a few cycles, out-of-the-box use gets you the day around!
Hi there,

Well, Google says "something between 8h and 740h". Are you getting 740h out of your phone?
I asked here, where people know their phones and how to get the most out of it. And instead of stupid ranting you could have just stated the battery life you get.
It's not a fair question because it depends on your usage, can be between 6 to 30+ hours.
If you get any smartphone then prepare yourself to have a charger nearby anyway.
I like the battery life, but I also grabbed the Samsung Armani 1650Mah battery which is the same physical size as the original and I really get good battery life now!...

Obviously, which is why a (smart) person would have posted like I did.
Unfortunately, everyone hates on people asking about battery, instead of helping. The truth is: once you figure out what's eating your battery, it's easy to set it up to last as long as you need it. Using one of the most power-hungry ROMs (CM7), I achieve 12-14 hours easily--and that's with hours of internet browsing--which is plenty to get me through the day.
If I only send a few texts every hour, and a couple calls in a day (ie., at work), my phone will last for 2-3 days easily. And, again, this is on a ROM largely regarded for having the worst battery life.
With normal usage its the best phone with the best Battery i ever had luv my i9000

Hello,
My mom uses a samsung galaxy ace and the battery life is super bad.
When she takes her phone to work around 07:00 its empty at around 13:00. All she does on work with her phone is using whatsapp. When shes at home she plays fruit ninja, lets say her battery is about 70% at that time. She plays for about 20 minutes and when she stops playing its on 17%. When I charge the phone after the game it goes from 17 to 54% in like 5 minutes, how the hell is this possible? Searched google and XDA but couldnt find anyone having the same problem...
We already replaced the battery for a new one, didnt solve anything and i also flashed a new stock rom for her, didnt help either
Hope someone can help me!
Thx !
you run lots of apps which runs in background ? or you have many widgets? It might one of the reasons

Its normal with our ace that is goes straight up to 50-60% in 5 mins and after disconnecting comes straight down...
And for battery drain..whatsapp and fruit ninja uses too much of battery in stock roms...flash a battery friendly rom and ur complaint will b gone..
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium. Press thanxx if i helped in ANY way..
Flash Stocklite or Xperiatized ROM. Both are great + battery life is better
I'll go for StockLite v6 definitely .. You'll get awesome battery plus you'll also get a pretty good performance ..
Alright! Will try to flash a custom rom when i get home
Thanks for the replys!

Yeah, the battery meter on the Ace is faulty. And this battery isn't meant to be used constantly otherwise you'll get a huge drain. You can't treat a mid range like a high end phone. Its only 1350mAh, to get the usage you need, you'll probably need around 2100mAh like the S3. There's no such battery for the Ace so you can't.
If she turns off 3G and uses Edge, it'll double the battery. Its the same thing, just connection is slower. Now if she takes gaming out of the equation, she'll get around 7+ hrs of battery. Realize I calculated that without any widgets that require background processes, no live wallpapers, and no other things besides the main app you're using.
Also try to flash a new rom with good battery(can only be done if phone I'd rooted though!) And try Battery calibration (after flashing a new rom)

i have the same issue
i guess u need to replace ur battery
because i tried to stop all the apps and the services and Wifi and GPS and BT , almost everything
and its still draining .
You need to replace your battery with a new battery. Your current battery is nearly-dying. Your phone and ROM are both ok! Don't worry about it.
Just replace the old battery with a good quality new one and you will be good for another few months.

First of all Hi.
I dont think that NOBODY here in this forum understand that your (and mine) 4X HD is HOT more than 40 degrees celsius hot.
I got this same problem I dont solve it even I got the device in service center to get check and the mother fu^%$rs told me that it is FINE.
SO PLEASE. AM I THE ONLY ONE WITH 40 DEGREES CELSIUS WHILE PLAY GAMES OR ALL OF YOU PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM...
IS THIS REALLY NORMAL???
Can you people test the processor tempereture with some app and post result??/
PS galaxy s3 is COLD while playing games and such.

I can get mine to 56°c if I want to, but then it turns off.

This is normal
Also this issue's thread is very normal too next time just try and search before creating new thread it will help you getting answers without waiting as well as keeping the forum clean.
Now to help you just root your phone and under clock your CPU to 1.2ghz it will help you a lot. I am using "CPU Tweaks app" for the purpose and it works way to good for me.
1.2 ghz is enough even for high end HD games - Tegra 3 is very good with games
"CPU Tweak" Setting :-
CPU: 4 core clocked at 1.2 ghz
gov: OnTheDemand
Mine is always on 50~51 celcius after 10 minutes playing ANY game on ANY brightness setting. Don`t like it, but that`s how it is, every time, with or without a case.
mine too!
I had my tab 2 for months now but lately the battery started heating up. I don't know what caused this. is this normal? what are the factors that can contribute for a battery to heat up upto 40 degrees C. will some of the factors be kernel and rom?

If you are running a rooted OB, download "No-fills CPU Control" from the Play Store.
Set the governor to "interactive" or "performance", and the scheduler to "row" or "cfq".
Press "Apply", then exit.

He didn't say much (probably not enought to help him a lot) but at least he said that he uses a ZGK so in this case your reply is not completly right. Some (I think most) us OndemandX by default and that is already a good one, better than interactive. I think best might be LionHeard, but that might be different with each kernel and for sure how he uses it.
BTW 5/6h might be OK, at least for the first CM10.1 versions, I think even with the latest versions 9h is very good, especially if you do some gaming. So maybe don't look first at the governor, select the right ROM first. Maybe a newer version, a different one or maybe just CM10, I heard some of the newest ones are rather battery friendly.
check in Battery Usage if the phone have a wakelock, use BetterBatteryStat to find what is a wakelock.
I gonna try a official ICS rom , maybe this be helpful?
Of course. All CM10, CM10.1 roms are battery drainers!
hi,
i support the post above me, try IZS or Marvel roms, they have great battery life. i used them both and with friendly usage i get my phone running all day from 7 am when i disconnect it untill midnight and even more.
by friendly usage i mean : about 15 short calls, around 1 - 2 hrs of wifi, few small DL, texting a bit, around 1/2 of gaming.
this is what i get with the roms i mention above.
BTW dont forget if your OB is old enough, there might be a problem with the battery, since all batteries have limited charging cycles, depend on the batttery maker and so on... bla bla bla...(dang it reminds me to search for a battery in nearby shops here lol)
My OB have 5 months Hmm i use my OB only 4 texting about 150/170 ina day and music about 2-2.5h ina day. Now i use cm 10.1 and this is terrible.. with this batterylife. I thinking about ICS , i think it can be better than CM for now.

150 messages a day? and 2 hrs of music? dang bro you type a lot, so suerly when screen is on, you drain battery, and music also drain power,.
yesterday i travel for 6-7hrs which in that time i went out home with fully charged batt, used a bit of wifi and music for around 2 hrs and 2-3 short calls, the rest of the time the phone was idle. my batt went from 100% down to 58-60% in all of the travel hrs.
so my conclusion is that: be smart as you smart phone, and do compromises with usage in order to get great battery life. oh and its not so bad to have a charger or that handy battery pack that you can use to charge your phone from.
since im not a heavy phone user most of the day when im out at work, i manage to get up to 24 hrs of battery per day. but when i mess with my phone on travels or so, i get around 9 hrs of usage until i get to 45-50% with the Marvel and IZS roms.
Ok. Thanks dude. Im a student i typing so much But thanks a lot i try a IZS
