[Q] No Battery option in Settings? - LG Optimus 4X HD

So it has just occured to me that my O4X has no "Battery" option in the settings menu. How do I see my battery usage then?
Will gladly appreciate the help

It's hidden inside "Power management" (or similar, don't know how it's called).

Thx guys. Found it. Didn't realize it would be there as the options for power saving are not as appealing as Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2 (no lowering cpu speed).
Do you happen to know any effective way to save O4X battery without compromising much of the performance? LG Gearbox and CPU Master by antutu don't seem to have any positive effects. ROM Toolbox Pro seems like another joke in this situation too.

That seems to be a good solution.. but with only 530 mAh extra battery, I dont think it'll make much difference. I just don't understand why o4x battery drains so fast..
Also, I noticed some people saying they have better battery life after updating firmware to v10H. Mine is v10e, and I believe v10h is newer and may give better battery life, but does it actually affect?

It actually does quite well I have that battery and it gives me around 18 hours where I got with the normal one around 11 12 hours if even. So there is a difference or buy one with a bigger back what I also have. I am on v10f.

At least trustworthy results since oneX is pretty much the same hardware gpu and cpu

The quick memo function does come in handy (more of a screenshot person)
1. 4809 here, stock ROM, nothing changed.
2. Then I immediatly retried it: 4588
3. 3rd run: 4695
Seems a bit of a lottery
@nikokazaa How you got such a score. Wondering if u have tweaked anything for performance. If so ,please share.

Same here, but with v10d update. Score increased to 5045.
Maybe something goes wrong with my 4X HD. I explain ; when i first bought it, i updated to v10d, and the quadrant was about 4950 to 5130.
And today, i tested again a quadrant it's about 3150 !! (and i tested it 4 times, no more than 3150 each time...)
I have a rooted 4X HD, v10d, does anyone knows why my quadrant is so bad ?
EDIT : strange, i've juste made a quadrant again, and i obtained 4878...
Is there a link between the quadrant result and the battery percentage ? Cause when i previously made the quadrants (result 3150) my batery was 5%, and i made the last one with 51% batery.
Strange anyway...

Not strange, vice versa. You can access your power saver settings in System settings>Power saver>Turn Power Saver on at x%. So I'm 100% sure that 3150 score was on Power Saver mode.
EDIT: I did Quadrant on Power Saver mode. Score is the same. So I'm wrong about this. Strange In any case Quadrant score is a lottery. My three tests - 5045, 4723, 4910.

If yours 4X HD is not rooted, you need to download Android SDK. When turn on USB debugging (Settings>Developer options), go to c:\android>tools>ddms.bat. When press Device and Screen Capture. Vualia.

are you running on power save mode or apps like juice defender ?
if not.. are you rooted? if yes try set cpu app or no frills cpu and change the governer to performance

Our phones are designed in such a way that the our phone's processor will run at more speed only when it is necessary..there are many reasons main reasons being
1) More speed=more battery consumption
2) More speed=more heat generated..continuosly if the processor is running @ max speed, more heat will b generated & it may harm your phone.
So, it is always good if the phone is running at low speeds for smaller processes & if it goes to deep sleep when u lock ur phone's screen..
200 is good. I even want my note to automatically go into to deep sleep everytime I press the power key.

[Q] Extend battery life - underclock/undervolt

Hello,
I received my LG 4X as a present and I finally replaced my iPhone 3gs. I can't say I am all that excited so far - I've been using android in my tablet for almost a year now and I can't say the os has matured enough. Anyway, I cut to the chase.
My friend has installed something on his S3 that enables him to undervolt/underclock his device. Is there something similar for the LG 4x? Or disable cores and have them enabled on-demand?
Has anyone tried such an app/mod? Does it work well?
Thanks for your time!
if you're rooted, the best app for you is SetCPU.

Besides slowing the device down, does it actually give any battery extend results?
Re
I dont know if all was caused by the external sd card but battery improved since i got CN from dexter and Set CPU
Its not possible to undervolt our CPU since our kernel doesnt support it.

[Q] Power Saver

Guys, do you keep your power saver ON the whole time? Cause I'm doing that. It seems to improve my battery life. My phones battery last more than a day, and while it's ON, I don't see any slow downs or lag which is good. I think it's better to leave it On the whole time. What do you think? Thanks!
I'm keeping Power Save ON always either. The options I've ticked there are the ones for CPU underclock and Data Management. For a week or so I've tried Power Saver combined with Snapdragon BatteryGuru but it didn't improved the battery life which I already was able to achieve so I've uninstalled it. Now I have installed Wi-Fi Matic and Smart Profiles (Free) with Power Save ON and I get the best battery autonomy.
Nope as long sleep mode im good

So it's better to leave it ON right? Will the notifications be delayed or the screen will slow down? What do you guys think I should do, leave it ON, or just when the battery is getting low then i'll ON it?

Leave it on. The slow down is barely noticeable, and it'll get you some extra time before the phone needs to be charged.
Personally, I only tick the cpu box.

There's no downside to leaving it on. 1.1GHz is plenty for most everything to run perfectly smoothly and it doesn't affect the GPU so gaming remains excellent. Personally I don't find it hugely useful (maybe an extra hour with my use) but it sure doesn't hurt anything

what do you mean not useful? It is actually. hehe. I mean it gives me more battery life. Do you keep yours ON all the time too?
I've found another great app for battery saving, which switch on/off data connections smarter than Power Saver. I'm talking about GreenPower Free Battery Saver / GreenPower Premium. I hope this helps you. It helped me.

Like I said, with my usage I only get about another hour, and yes that's with it on the whole time. I don't doubt that the way others use their phone could make it have a larger effect (I'm jealous of these people ) , but for me 1hr doesn't cross into the "useful" category.

Forcing the CPU to under clock won't affect your performance but potentially greatly improve battery life, so why not.

Force GPU rendering

Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
There's an option of forcing the 2d GPU rendering in developer options. I don't really know what it does . Should I check the box?
Does it make apps run smoother or consumes more battery? ???
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
I always have that option turned on. I generally think the UI must be rendered with the GPU. This improves performance significantly for me.
Sent from my LG-P880
what version are you running and does this option consume more or less battery?
I'm on Zaiben atm. Don't know if it used more, I have it always turned on. Generally it should only use a little bit more battery.

I have read conflicting reports regarding battery life. Some say it helps, some say it hurts.
I think it hurts bl because the gpu can be quite power hungry, depending on the device. In my personal experience it seems to have hurt my battery life more than it has helped.
