Looking at the review form gsmarena.com LG 4XHD has twice shorter life time in video playback, talk time and web browsing (3:59H) than HTC ONE X+ (7:56H).
Batteries have the same capacity 2100mah, both phones are almost identical hardware (processor tegra 3 t30 vs t33, screen 4,7' etc) Why 4XHD has only 4H web browsing lifetime??

LG 4X HD have twice as bright screen in comparasion to HTC One X. In gsmarena battery life test they set the brightness on 50% on video and web browsing test, but 4X have black brightness 0.34 cd/m2 & white brightness 369 cd/m2, while One X have 0.15 cd/m2 black and 200 cd/m2 white brigtness. If you set 4X screen to 25% you'll get the same brightness, video and browsing time as One X +

I think the test is conditioned, where the active internet connection is solely from a close-ranged wifi router. Unlike mobile data, wifi signal is stable, so no extra juice is wasted for signal searching.
I highly agree that it's impossible to get a straight 8 hours of web browsing, though I've managed to get 5 hours of browsing non streaming web (I was surfing online comic book) using my home wifi

Two of my friends have HOX.
Before 4X HD I used Xperia Neo, and max I can get on video watching is about 3,5h, which is miles away from 7:45h from gsmarena battery test.

..No, they just don't specify if they've done their own test, if they've referenced another site, or simply typed down the info from the manufacturer.
edit: also, you get different playback times depending on what sort of codec you're using, and if the processor can run on very low clock-rates during the playback..

They always say that it's their own test.
And about the codec I agree with you, they should post the resolution and the codec of the video they used.
Right. But they kind of appear to be comparing their own test with a manufacturer's "best case" test. ..And we get these threads.

Yes but from today, now the phone is 40% and more than 41 hour when it got last charged. Take a look.
And brightness is on 50% automatic (mostly outdoor use)
anyway with these fixes that I mentioned earlier I got 4 hours of game play (20% brightness) 3 and a half online multilayer gaming, (Still CPUs eats a lot of battery tho)

htc with the htc one x with a 1800mah batttery does better then the lg 4x with a bigger battery.

Nah its parts too, and the quality of the battery rather than its capacity. The one x sucks, my friend is sending his for repair because overheating killed it after a year. No modification, not even root. Don't talk ****e, use the phone or sell it. I'm growing ever tired of these debates, I switched myself to an xperia t for improved gaming performance. The result was indeed better gaming, but also the battery overheating, which damaged it and now the phone shuts down all the time. At least our phone is reliable

Hi, I would like to buy an Incredible S, but one thing I am thinking is battery life. Is it worth it to change it for an HD2 ? I'm quite satisfied with it but I don't like the battery life wich is bad because of the Display 4,3 inch TFT and battery capacity of 1230mAh. I also would like some smaller device like IS.
So my question is. How long last the phone with brightness set to 50% in standby ? Has anybody tried it ? My HD2 last about 3 hours until it dies what is incredibly low.
thanks for answers
so you mean with screen on for 3 hours? being idle?
i wouldnt even try that... because of the risk of burning in the screen...

yes exactly so. What? Burning in the screen ? Something like that is possible? Can't be. How would it differ to a screen on being not idle ? I mean when somebody use his phone whole 3 hours and do something like surfing etc then what would be the difference between his screen on and mine ?
I don't need to know exactly the time what it will last but around what would be my battery life when I would change from HD2 to IS. Because of that I am asking about the screen consumption because it sucks most of the battery...

There's a huge difference between leaving the screen on idle for several hours and using the phone for several hours. Although "Burn ins" doesn't happen on LCD displays (I don't recall), it is possible to get an "image persistance" which kind of creates a ghost image on the display. It's only a temporary problem but why take the risk? The Incredible S has a 1450 mAh battery, so theoretically it should be better than the HD2.

Yes I know that, but was just wondering how long would it last compare to my HD2 so another question wich you could know from every day use.
QUESTION : For how long is the display on when you put your phone on charger ? I mean from 100% to (0-20)%, with medium usage without navigating, or 3G.
With use of wifi, some browsing, listening to music, maybe playing a few minutes some game. How long from that time was your screen on ?
Could you or someone else tell me ?
diwad heavily usage wifi, bluetooth, gaming etc.etc. around 18hours
The programs that are running in the background are sometimes more battery draining than the display.

Hello,
Googled for it few times but still no luck. I have Incredible S Red. HTC specified that it has Super LCD but why do the colors look like Incredible S has AMOLED screen? I noticed the same issue with older Desire devices which surely had AMOLEDs - reddish tint, not very vivid colors.

I don't find this at all..
I find the colors very vivid.
In fact, if you read reviews that is one of the most talked about things on the inc s.
Most reviews say Incredible S and Desire S has the best screens so far from HTC and I have used almost all major HTC phones including HD2 and DHD and in my opinion its screen is by far the best of the lot.
About battery life... I have my phone online all the time either on WiFi or phone data and a couple of email accounts on push mail. I surf and use social networking frequently and with custom Rom from Mike and Virtuous Unity and my CPU OC to 1.3GHz I get around 36-48 hours out of one full charge with moderate callings.
It's far better then HD2 in my experience
Regards.

Oh, ok, then I guess I have to send my Incredible S to HTC so they can fix the screen issue.
BTW, is there a 100% certain way to determine the screen type of the device by some version number, software, etc.?

It's normally written on the box.

I don't think IncS came with any other type of screen. Never heard this.

Reddish tint? Dude must have a defective one
It all depends on what you keep on...
I do not have 3G on all the time in order to save battery and using it normally and playing a couple games and apps per day. I would say a normal day's usage with 20% remaining around night time. If I cut the wifi when i sleep it lasts me till midday of the next day.. Its pretty decent without it being spectacular..
Guys,
i m totally sucked off bye this phones battery problem.
even i got new battery from flipkart, its giving me battery problem.
Every aspect of this phone is geat.
Most good is developer support. Thank u guys. U r Gods.
.
Now i m thinking giving up this phone.
i have 2 options Moto Atrix 2 or xperia Arc S ?
what u think friends ?
or still continue on o2x ?
plz give ur comments and options.
the only reason why i would choose the atrix is the ram. oterwise stay on O2x. I will personally change it only when sgs3 comes out
sent from my CM9 kang powered LG Optimus 2x via XDA premium
Atrix has a larger 1930 Mah battery, though i haven't used an atrix, but bigger battery should mean long lasting battery....
I have used an arc, battery life is same as that on optimus rather wrse than 2x coz in that set the light sensor can't be turned off...

Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA
The atrix also has a larger screen and that's gonna eat more battery and more fps in games so no thanks, i wouldn't trade my o2x for any of those but that's personal preference no one can tell you want to choose so make your mind up and deal with the consequences.
Looking at the specs, I'd get the Atrix 2 although I would imagine the Xperia Arc S would give better battery life.
Although it seems -depending where you live- the Atrix 2 is 4G so if you used that a lot, it would drain the battery fast (You can turn it off, just like 3G).
Signal might be weak in your area, if that's the case, no phone will give you long battery times. On tha other hand: isn't it possible that there are no two identical devices, some have slightly better electronic parts placed in, some worse, draining more juice in given time? Some people write about 20-40 hours of battery-life, i personally never could squeez more than 12-16 hours out of mine. Using 2G only, Juice Defender etc. I'm now on hei's Nova HD Plus RC9-18. This gives me about 18-20 hours of avarage use.

There could be something in that. I've just picked up an EVO 3D, and people complain about the terrible battery life. I'm currently on about 1 day 13 hours, and I've being trying to drain the battery lol. Somewhere between 20 to 25% left on it at present. My O2X has been pretty good as well
If I go to my office, I know battery life will be bad, as the signal is VERY bad, and is cut out about 80% of the time (it's continually on/off).. so wastes a lot of battery juice.

Atrix II seems to be a better choice. It's got stronger battery, MotoBlur is quite handy. It definitely has longer battery life under the same circumstances. Not to mention the possibility to hook it on a LapDock! Great stuff!

really usefull ?
I think the Motorola will be best :battery life ,larger screen ,more ram ,better call experience ,etc
but i don't think it's very usefull to change from an optimus 2x ,the experience will be quietly the same ...better wait for sgs 3 or quad core phone

They will sure rock, but the prices will be conciderebly high, mostly the first couple of months, maybe years. OX2 is still offers one of the best price/quality proportion.
stick with your o2x and wait until the new generation of quadcore phones (e.g. huawei ascend d) become cheaper
As much as I like the 4X I am very disappointed with the battery life and the fact we cannot obtain root (well majority of us).

I guess it depends what you want from your phone.
I am quite happy with the battery life and its definitely better after several cycles and the v10d update.
Couple of things struck me with the Meizu when compared to O4X though:
4.0" screen vs 4.7"
640 x 960 res vs 1280 x 720
No microSD slot
Micro SIM only
Personally don't like the design either, looks like a chinese iphone clone to me.
Of course it is each to their own though, everyone wants something different from their phones. I bought the O4X on the merits it has, that none of the other current flagships could give me.

I have the meizu mx 2 core, its a nice phone hardware wise.
screen is very good its almost 300ppi so no dif. really vs the LG phone.
sound in calls are very low even at highest setting.
sound from headphones and speaker is by far the best on any android phone with its wolfson chip.
but there is bad translations in english mode, u have to use locale apps to get right in maps and searches.
u have to install special apps to get into the "real menu" for sync accounts otherwise its flyme only.
almost all support is in chinese.
not much rom development on the device even if its the HK version.
if miui gets a release soon it might be good but i cant recomend it software wise.

sadly, i am starting to share the same opinion, NOT because of root options, but the functionality of the OS on this model.
it seems they handle sensors incorrectly, and without root, we cannot even try to fix it here.
- is it just me or is it very annoying that when you press power, it takes ages (2-3 seconds) before it responds and turn on the display? (when its in standby)
- when you hang up a call, is it just me or does the thing takes forever?, and the proximity sensor for turning on display when you move it away from your head, i know it can be modified, but why would LG have the delay soooo f.... long? HTC has none of these issues, its almost close to being tooo sensitive?

I don't have that kind of issue. Does it stay after a full wipe ?
I had a Gnote juste before the 4x HD. Every body was happy about Gnote battery life but not me. With to different Gnote under cyanogen, i had constant battery drain. I'm sure it was software, but i never found wich app was draining. For me, there was no way to have a full day without charging.
Lg 4x is working better for my usage. With green power, i lost maybe 1% during the whole night. The screen is far more responsive. Its seems to handle more precise finger position, build quality is top, size great, screen perfect.
Really a great little phone. i'm quite happy.

looking at your post, i did the test and gound that you are right! but it's been half a month since i got this phone, and i did notice it before i read it from your post... so there are no use case for me where it can be realy annoying, because we are always talking about 1 to 3 seconds!
also, mi old Galaxy S with CM9 isn't faster .
I am also waiting for root (battery life is ok for me since v10d although my wifi is on all the time), but since this phone is realy new, an not as popular as Samsung ans HTC's flagships, I know that it will take more time.

i had a Galaxy S too and still is within family reach and i do honestly not feel it was that bad. but yes we might be down to 1/2 a second, but the feel of this is a little annoying. but yes, i come to live it hoping i can fix it when its rooted but really, LG could have made it customizable. when they had to make it so strange.
everything here is fast, no delays, when calling, screen is intant on/off, also when the phone is laying around and i push the power button, i get nearly instant screen on ....
dunno why, i only have wiped the device before and after the 10D update

- when you hang up a call, is it just me or does the thing takes forever?, and the proximity sensor for turning on display when you move it away from your head, i know it can be modified, but why would LG have the delay soooo f.... long? HTC has none of these issues, its almost close to being tooo sensitive?

looking at your post, i did the test and gound that you are right! but it's been half a month since i got this phone, and i did notice it before i read it from your post... so there are no use case for me where it can be realy annoying, because we are always talking about 1 to 3 seconds!
also, mi old Galaxy S with CM9 isn't faster .
I am also waiting for root (battery life is ok for me since v10d although my wifi is on all the time), but since this phone is realy new, an not as popular as Samsung ans HTC's flagships, I know that it will take more time.

Are there any other reasons to jump ship?
Reviews talk about how far the display is from the screen? Is that bad?
Someone from LG told me that the 4XHD can record phone calls (when in conversation go to voicerecorder and start recording, you should hear a beep every 10 seconds orso). Can someone verify this? I know that the SGSII & III can't nor the One X.
Some reviews also talk about the phone being too quiet? How is the volume when ringing? When in a pocket or coat (in a pouch)?
How's in call audio? How's the earpiece audio?
I'm just wondering if when used as a phone the 4xHD is a better option then the OneX? The One X has a proper notification led which is bright unlike the one from the Xperia U (which the sales dip**** should have said before I bought the damn thing). The One X IS loud when playing music and video so assume it's as loud when ringing. The OneX's screen looks great. But it can't record calls which is important for me.
The price difference is about 30 euro's between OneX and 4xHD
Cheers.

OneX and 4xHD are both bad in terms of battery HOWEVER the 4xHD has a bigger and replacable battery.
Also 4xHD's screen is on par with the OneX and thereby the best I've seen to date. (Better than new iPad btw)
Had no issues with sound at all. Speaker is crystal clear (sometimes a bit too clear but still very good), didn't try the music with LG earpieces though. Other earpieces sounded good to me.
Volume of the ringtone... No idea. Didn't really care but haven't missed a call for now, so I suppose it's good enough.
4xHD also has an micro SD card slot (up to 64 gb) wich in my eyes is a huge advantage.
Plus I had nothing but good with LG so far.
You should only consider buying the OneX if:
You need the additional community support (LG will never attract as many devs however cyanogenmod will most likely be ported as soon as it's rooted. (Probably even officially supported))
You need the best camera in town (Except for Nokias 41 Mpix phone-camera of course)... read you need the fastest camera in town.
You need Sense. (LG's is more smooth and really (I mean REALLY REALLY) among the best, however it's just not as polished as HTC's)
You need Dropbox Space (You get Box.net space with LG I think. Too bad I don't really use that.) (OneX has up to 25gb for 2 years).
If you said no to one or all of the above:
Get the LG.
BTW For me Samsung S3 is a no no because of the design, the crappy touchwhizz and the worse screen in sunlight... But it does have the even larger community support and the supposedly less energy consuming processor.
Hey guys
Just to let you know if your having problems with the stock 4x then you can complain to LG about it. On their chat support you can ask to raise a VOC (voice of customer) then give them suggestions and improvements. When I talked to support the guy did try to help even though I don't have an optimus 4X.
I'm sure they'll try to help if they can.

sorry, im new to LG *moving from htc*
first, i have an option of one x, 4x hd and s3.. dunno which to get.. i want tegra games so im considering this..
first question, how are the games? D:
2nd, hows the bat life? compared to one x and s3 interms of gaming? D:
3rd, no notification led?
4th, no chance of bootloader being unlocked?
any other pros/cons i need to know?
which would you recommend from the 3 phone? D:
I sold my S3 sold I could get the 4x and the single biggest reason was due to signal strength the Samsung was shocking even though I had the Note before and this was reasonably and in line with the ip4s I had before. I have had the LG for a couple of days now and the signal is massively better than both.
I think its a little too soon to comment on battery but will know early next week after it has bedded in and had a few charges.
As for games it seems to be ok but haven't really tried any of the tegra specific stuff. Facebook seems to loads pictures quicker and I prefer the scrolling on web pages and this is via my wifi so i cant just be better signal creating a better connection
1-Price.

Dude.. yo wanna buy a phone for games ?!
Go for a PS Vita .. power vr 543 MP4+ can easliy beat any of those

The LG is the only one that supposedly can do full 2-way call recording. At least the international version can.
On the other hand, LG will probably reveal in September the 4x HD successor. Due to the 4X ´s bad sales and all major telcos and stores not even considering the 4X in their stores. A shame really because this way all we get is Apple and Samsung which will inevitable keep their prices skyhigh.
Of course IF LG really learn (which they DON´T) and does release the ultimate SIII killer then things 'might' become interesting. Offcourse WHEn the new device will be revealed expect the (remaining) 4X HD's being dumped like crap at unbelievable prices.
I'd just hold on for just a few weeks.

3. No notification led - install the app NoLed, it's a great tool!

how's battery life? Most reviews say that this has below average battery life. And I have seen the battery drops from full to about 1/3 or half the battery bar in 15-20 minute long video reviews.
Does this phone have GPS/ Signal/ wifi antenna issues?
thanks everyone.

For normal daily use my 4X can last for 18-20 hours after a full charge ( I very seldom play game, play music or watch vedio for a very long time), furthermore I have a free spare battery life to standby
I don't have any issue with GPS/ Signal/ wifi or antenna, in fact I find the GPS wors better than my previous IP4S!!

I normally use my phone for about 2-3 hours for web-browsing and checking social networking sites that use GPS since I take the train. Do you think the battery will be enough to last me the whole day (9,10am- to 6,7pm).

How much does this drains the battery?
Wait for the Optimus G, it's almost like the 4X but WAY faster and 13 mp camera and snapdragon s4 pro. It'll probably be released next month to October .

Hello everyone!!
I recently bought an Xperia Z, but the problem is that the battery depletes after 3hours of onscreen time?, i went to the store and they too found it strange since it should have around 6 or 7 hours of onscreen time.
They exchanged the phone and gave me a new one, and sadly that phone had the exact same problem( REALLY!!?!?!!), and to top that, it's with screenlight at 25% and every battery heavy options turned off.
So i went to the store to get a refund. In the store another guy had exchanged his Xperia Z 4 times till He got a Z with a battery that worked as intended....
I will never buy a sony product again after this letdown..
And i would definitely not exchange my phone 4 times to hit the "Working-Battery lottery!"
It seems there is some sort of failure in the release of many of the Z's released, i found this guy with same problem

I also have bad battery life, but yet I don't see your point of making this topic at all.
6/7h on screen time really yo? On a 1080p screen... maybe next year. There are plenty of people that reached 5h+
If you want 7h on screen time, get an iPhone LOL! That way we would get rid of you and you would be with the other sheeple.
Topic is useless, can't believe you made an account just to say that.

I don't get it, my battery lasts all day, I charge through the night and take it out at 7 roughly. Then I use it through the day playing games like shadowgun and using social networking sites like Facebook. I also use gmail quite often and I also watch YouTube videos aswell. If I have brightness automatic and battery stamina mode it can last me throughout the day. I haven't charged my phone sine 7 and I still have 13% charge left.

Pretty sure that wouldn't even work. One of the girls I work with just got an iphone 5 and the battery drains like crazy on that thing. She starts at 3am, and by ~8 she is below 15% and has to charge pretty soon after. Then she has to charge when she gets home, and again when she goes to sleep.
Meanwhile, I am one of the heaviest power users I know of, I use my phone for work (flashlight, camera, calendar, calculator, barcode scanner), frequently check facebook, ragecomics reader app, general web browsing and play store browsing, small downloads eg mp3, apps, flashable .zip tweaks from here, frequently check simpsons tapped out, play some dead trigger, watch about 30 -60 mins of movies, receive a few calls and texts, maybe 10-20 mins of music playback. Out of habit I normally pull my phone out every 10-15 minutes and unlock it, flick around absent mindedlu, then lock it again after not actually opening anything :\ not sure how I picked up that habit.
To top all that off, I have my screen brightness set to 100% with adjust to lighting conditions ticked, I have location services and sattelites on, auto sync on, 4g data always on, wifi on but location based activated, NFC on, and finally, also have better battery stats installed and allways doing it's thing as I am also experiencing some rougue wakelocks I am slowly dealing with (still stumped on what is causing audio_out2 and deleted_wake_lock)
Despite all this, my phone comes off charge around 330am, and doesn't charge till 8pmish when it finally runs out of juice. That is one hell of a solid effort as I have done pretty much nothing to help out my battery, and doing everything to make it struggle.
I have only undervolted slightly, and am using doomkernel on KA04 rom. I am not using stamina mode either. Infact, when I was using it on stock rom, I couldn't see any difference between using it and not using it. I can't really see how it would do much IF you had NO wakelocks (or very little). Besides knocking out LED all it really does it disable background processes, if you have your phone set up right you shouldn't really have any anyway:good:.
This phone leaves my previous galaxy S2 in it's dust for battery life under the same usage in anycase (I used to charge that thing about 3 times a day most days).

+3 or whatever that is up to now.
All phones take time and a number of charges before the battery stabilises, and start running at optimum.

actually on my iPhone 5 I get more like 9 hours of screen time, sometimes 10. Not saying that your friends account is false, but that sure is hell doesn't seem consistent with any battery rundown test I've ever seen.I can go 2 days without charging it roughly, I'm sure the incoming hate and vitriol for my use of an iPhone as a daily driver is about to pour in from the less intelligent Android users, but this is one of the reasons my iPhone is still my daily driver. That and a consistently good camera.
Cheers~
P.S. I have owned many many many Android flagships and am an experienced power user.
Since when did iPhones ship with battery stats?
Or is there an app for that?
Batteries need a few charging cycles before doing their job properly. It's like having sex for the first time. The first time you might be disappointing but as you do it more often, you supposedly become better at it. Batteries work the same way.

Can't believe you just compared batteries on a phone to sex.
My battery life is acceptable. Getting up to 4hours screen time or a little more from 09 - 22. At this time, I then have about 14% more or less. And this is by alot of whatsapp, messaging, maybe a call or two. This is not using LTE. I find it very battery draining so I stick with 3G. Besided i am on WiFi most of the time.
So as long the phone can do a whole day without charging in most normal days for some people that don't travel alot, I ffind the battery acceptable
