hi all,
Ive recently upgraded to v10d (Europe Open, coming from v10b) and im experiencing some wacky probs with the battery. Yesterday noon i charged the phone to 100% and then unplugged it and left it for about 5h. I then checked on battery life which was still 100%(!). I rebooted the phone and after some heavy use (2-3h youtube, lots of surfing, new widgets installing/configuring) i had dropped the battery to a 60%. I then went to bed. This morning the phone was dead and when i put it on the charger i saw that the battery had dropped to zero causing the phone to shut down. So i plugged it in, and switched it on. Since day 1 i was surprised with how fast the phone was charging to 100%, so after about 45min i checked on its state and saw that it was still at only 6%. I checked again after half an hour or so and it was still at the same point, 6%. I rebooted the phone again and checked on the battery level b4 plugging it back in and i saw a reading of 76% (!). Now ive plugged it back in, and once more its stuck on 76%. In all cases, even though the charging battery icon is there, the phone doesnt seem to show any changes in the battery state. Has anyone experienced something like this? Any advice welcome
Peace
I've got the same problem. It started two days ago, I tried Battery calibration but nothing changes.
My rom is miui.

Not only i get crazy readings, but the battery drain is MASSIVE. The phone sucks more than 60% battery in less than 7h on idle.. I dont get it, i did everything using LG's update tool, chose Europe as a location (The phone was sent from expansys UK, but i live in Spain.. Expansys 'out of stock' solutions). At least i dont get any BSOD or lags.. But the phone is still uselless like this..
EDIT: Ignore the sig
Have you tried battery calibration? (market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration) I think that's the problem, I did it again yesterday and I've got 20% of battery drain in 8 hours. Maybe too much (it has been in airplane mode 6 of those hours) but nothing unusual.
Sorry for my english, I'm from Spain too
I didnt try Battery Calibration because ive already done what the app does manually. I deleted battery stats from CWM, drained the battery, left it full charge without interruptions and the problem remains.. Im waiting for the phone to fully charge now, ill switch it on and post bb and ril readings because i remember that even though getril stated that BB and RIL are matching, it said something strange about a T-Mobile ROM or something.. Ill be back with more
OK, here's what i see from GetRil, it looks a bit strange. On 'about phone' (Android menu) I see that im on LG version v10d. But on GetRil i get:
RIL: 0405 (V10C, T-Mobile)
Baseband: 1035.21_20110405
Can anyone make something out of this?
Any help appreciated
EDIT: AGAIN Ignore Sig (Got to get this done at some point )
I tried battery calibration, but it didn't get better. Then I deleted battery stats but didn't work, so I tried battery calibration yesterday and (for now) it's OK. Maybe when I charge it again the problem will be back.
I've got bb 622 and ril 622 v10d vodafone and getril says everything it's OK
Edit: you should try another ril, V10C Spain for example.
What version do you have? v10D? Did you update the phone using LG update tool?
I use Miui (It's a rom based on cyanogen) and I flash a new one almost every week. Those roms are beta, so it's "normal" for me to have problems, but you shouldn't have them with a stock one...
yeah i guess so.. The thing is that im coming from a much simpler to use/flash smartphone (acer liquid) and im a bit mixed up now.. basebands, ril's etc. Maybe i should try to flash the last version for spain using the LG tool, and try again.
EDIT: Now im getting a 'Update not required' message from LG update tool. Probably because its trying to go from v10d (Europe) to v10c (Spain).. IM SO ANGRY!!
I would do that. The last bb is 725, it works well for some people, but not for me, I tried it but the battery drain was massive, so I get back to 622 and (until this problem) everything worked fine.
You'll get used to this, it's funnier
How do i update the baseband only?
EDIT: I found the baseband page on Modaco, where its got the smartflash tool/drivers and the BBs, but it says that it will fully wipe INCLUDING Int SDCard. I try to do a backup using CWM-based Recovery 4.0.1.5 for Internal & External SD Card from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098745 but even though i have an external SDcard in, it does the backup on the internal!
With smartflash (http://android.modaco.com/topic/335494-12-aug-smartflash-stock-baseband-release-103521-20110725/) but read everything very well. It'll delete all your data, so make backup. If you want help with that or something else (and you speak spanish) ask here: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=217920 and I'll help you. I don't dare to do it in english, in case I don't exprese myself well enough
Ok man, thanx. I was wondering if it is ok to flash baseband 622 over v10d, or if it is totally irrelevant and i just dont know what im talking about..
I'm such a noob too (specially talking in english) but if you ask to the experts, you'll be fine, good luck

BB and rom are two separate stuffs. U can play around with any BB till u find one that suits u best.
Yeah I realised that.. Im on v10d and i just flashed BB 622 and preparing to flash Fr19.. Lets hope that all the battery craziness will go away..
PS All this just when i read that 'Gingerbread Is Out' post.. damn it..
Hello all,
I have confirmed the following issue on my Optimus 2x with stock 20L. Nothing else, nothing special.
When I leave the phone standby for several hours (eg. during the night), when I get back to it and turn on the screen, the network signal/3G indicators are white - meaning no internet connection.
After around 10 seconds, 3G reconnects itself.
While this is annoying, since you don't get any notifications from programs using the internet (WhatsApp, Facebook etc), it gets worse.
After 3G reconnects itself, the battery drains really fast: about 30 seconds for 1%. So in a few minutes your battery will be completely drained.
This even continues while rebooting.
For example: I come back to my phone and it has 46% left. Then I notice the 3G disconneced and reconnecting and then power starts dropping really fast. I reboot at 43% power left. After the reboot, there's only 18% left but the draining has stopped.
I at least had this happen twice in four days.
Is anyone else noticing this, or does any of the developers out here perhaps has a fix or a custom rom in which it is fixed?
I really like 20L for some new features, but I'm also experiencing issues with GPS and now also this... I'm really thinking of going back to 10D.
Thanks for any help or insights you can give me.

I also have huge battery drain, but in my case the main culprit is OnScreen Phone. Left my phone with 100% in the evening and in the morning, after exactly 8h, the battery was at 70%. Of that, 50% was used by OSP, and 25% each Idle and Cell standby. With the phone on wireless, froyo used at most 10% instead of the 30% used by GB now.
Yes you should remove all background running apps, especially the sh..y LG one Phone on Screen, but also checking for others, like media share programs and so on.
One time with my present ROM I had a storm in my battery with tremendous drain.. I had to do a fresh reinstall, and since then no problem.
Thanks for your replies, but this is different.
The battery only starts draining when 3G reconnects and you can literally see it happen.

Same happening here. I'm running on topogigi 2.0 SP3.
With Baseband 725 I'm having this issue. Now I'm on 622 will see tomorrow what happens
Edit: I'm noticing, that even if I have full signal with an "H" the phone starts switching from H to 3G and back when I turn the screen on
I think I can confirm that huge battery drain on GB is because of the radio. The reporting of huge consumption by OnScreen Phone or Gallery may be wrong.
I left last evening my phone fully charged on Flight Mode and after 8:30 it consumed a mere 1-2%. With Flight mode off GB uses like 30% and Froyo used 10%. So I suppose the radio is the main culprit. As you can see in my screenshots, the Gallery process is said to have used the most energy, but it wasn't even started. And some days ago OSP was in place of Gallery. In the third screenshot you can notice how the drain started when I turned off the Flight mode and browsed for 45 min or so.
Could it be that we're experiencing this huge radio drain because of the incorrect baseband? I suppose we all have the generic Euro Open/Italian v20L ROM, and maybe our networks need a correct baseband for our specific operator?

The first time i experienced the battery drain problem i had no rooted phone with official Gingerbread update from LG. That was last week. The Baseband was exactly the same as from Froyo 10D (725).
With Froyo I had no battery drain at all. So LG must have messed something up - that was my thought...
since then i rooted my phone and installed topogigis rom on fr, 4th nov. At the weekend i was in areas where the signal strength was very good (H in status bar).
On monday no battery drain on my place of work where signal is very bad (G in status bar).
Since tuesday battery drain is back. I get reconnects after reconnects when the signal is weak. Even when the signal is very good my phone jumps from H to 3G and back. What the hell is that?
You need to flash the GB baseband released with the rom, the 0725 basebands are not the same. Flash the 0725 baseband in the v20l thread of Hell_97 and try again. Without it there are many issues.

Maybe I was a little uncertain:
- Last Wednesday (2nd nov) I had an unrooted phone with froyo. In the morning I checked for an update with LG Software and boom I had Gingerbread.
- Until friday I had heavy battery drain (9h and battery was at 5%). I was so angry and thought f*** you LG-Guys I'm flahing topogigi's rom. I flashed the Baseband 725 from his thread. On Saturday to Monday evening no problems at all.
- On Tuesday my phone again had very bad signal an it was often active (in the Battery-Usage Menu were much of those blue bars.
- Yesterday I flashed 625 Baseband -> problem not solved
- today I flashed 502 (from LG U660 10S update). I will look how it works.
What I noticed on all Gingerbread roms is, that the phone often Disconnects an Reconnects. I think that's making the heavy battery-darin.
But I have no idea how to fix that...

If you have updated through LG update tool, your Baseband had been updated to last (=the one recommended for Hell ROM), and above all the one recommended by LG for your area...
I think you should put back this one...

I've read many threads about this issue, but couldn't find a solution for Optimus 2X because on our phone, the PDP Settings in the HiddenMenu aren't implemented yet, so we can't disable Fast Dormancy.
I've found a workaround when you're at home: you can change the WiFi policy to never sleep, so during the night, the phone will use WiFi only instead of 3G while it's sleeping. But still, this doesn't hep you at all when you have no WiFi available.
I called LG this morning and they sad I'm the first reporting this problem (huge 3G battery drain on newly released Gingerbread)
Has anybody found another solution?
Hi guys,
i recently bought a LGOS and soon began to tinker and try out custom roms. and right now im running into a problem i couldnt solve by searching through this or other forums. i tried out several different roms with different kernels (modaco, swiftextreme, stock (froyo and gb), cm7 newest nightly) and with every rom my battery drainage is way higher than it should be.
with battery monitor im reading values between 100mA and 900mA when the phone is in standby mode and not being used! the temparature is also quite high ... round 38°C
on some forum i came across the problem with FD dormancy, and because my provider ( eplus) doesnt support fd dormancy i tried using a workaround by shutting down the phone application everytime the mobile data connection is being disabled... but it didnt help.
so i tried wether or not my problem is related to an app or service. i shutted down every process possible and the problem still persisted. i also tried disabling go launcher and using the stock one, but it didnt work.... im using no widget at all on my desktop right now
i tried wiping my battery stats through clockworkmod recovery. and it didnt help.
right now im beginning to believe that this problem is hardware related. im so frustrated with this :<. the phone itself is awesome, but this problem makes it quite hard to love it :<
thanks for your help
update: for the most part the problem was related to bad battery calibration. now the battery consumption is "only" ~50 mA in standby mode... the phone i had before, a "htc hd2 with newest hyperdroid rom" only consumed 3-5 mA when sleeping. when playing 3d games like gameloft's "order and chaos online" battery consumption on my LGOS averaged round 20% in 30 minutes of playing ... is this value normal?
the situation is still not very satisfying :<
Update: i noticed that the battery voltage stats are totally weird. The battery monitor values seem to jump from low to high values while discharging. I also stumbled across some thread regarding cm7 from April. The battery driver from LG seems to be faulty. Is there any fix ffor this... I'm using modaco right now
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
another update in this conversation with myself :
i tried using cm7 ... and it actually made my problem even worse. the phone discharged in less than 5 hours while in standby. now im back to modaco... discharge rate while in standby is ~40mA.
is there anybody else on here who can help me ? :<
i guess i will need to sell this phone :<
sounds like a hardware problem, maybe you should send it in for a repair.
anyways when using the phone it normal that the battery is empty after 5 hours or so... but that should not happen in standby. does it happen with a clen install an withoit anything installed?
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
thanks for your reply ... my father just also bought an optimus 2x... so i will do some comparisons to check what exactly the problem is and wether or not it is software related. my last step before sending it in will be to revert back to stock froyo and install no app at all and check if the problem still exists ...
damn this phone is costing me many hours of stress and work ^^
I hope some one could help me ...
My galaxy I9305 have for 2 or 3 weeks now... leaked battery very fast
When i pull out the phone from charger at 06.00 AM (its at 100%)
when its 08.30 AM its about 80%
In that period is both wifi and data disabled..also gps and bluetooth
But the strange thing is .. from 08.30 AM to 03.00 PM
it only use about 20%
In that period i use my phone in my lunchbreak ,surfing facebook, mails etc..
and all the time is data activated..
So now i wonder.. is there a way i can get a normaly battery leak from in 8 hours ( about 25%)
Is the battery stats ****ed up.. or what could it be..
Im using a sentinel 6.0 Kit-Kat rom
I really hope that someone could help me...
BTW... all my apps is the same ... over 3 the last 3 weeks..

The first period i though is strange, case with everything disabled and if you are not using the phone, it should has decreased at max 4% in 2 hours (wich already is too much for me). I can't compare with mine cause i'm on stock unbloated and agni kernel.
The second period must be normal, if you said you were surfing through facebook, mails.. I assume you used your phone at least 3 hours with screen on. Screen kills most of the battery and thats normal. And you said you was on mobile data.. mobile data consumes more battery than wifi, so use wifi when available.
The best for you to help us help u would be take some screenshots of the battery usage at some times, because we don't have sure how many time the screen was on from 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Make another test taking some screenshots of battery usage in details so someone here can help you bro
ok many thx.. i will take some screenshot...

Is your phone rooted?
Please make a screenshot of the battery options.
Like I have do it.
I forgot one thing.
Charge your phone to 100% before you go to sleep. Then you take off the power cable and then don't touch the phone until you awake in the morning.
Then you make this screenshot.
Ok will do this...

Well im experiencing this issue since the very first day I bought this phone... & im not rooted & on last firmware update.. will post screen shots tomorrow
Strange. I have the battery lasts well two days
Here is my personal experience so far (I have my P7 last week, and I did not use an Android for more than one year), overall I'm somewhat disappointed by Android in the power management area, things do not seem to improve for 2 years
I disabled Google Now and deactivated location history, that seems to improve the battery life. I noted that Google Play Services consumed more than 20% yesterday. With Google now, the battery did not last more than 14h.
Without Google Now, I notice today that Cell Standby consumed about 15% for today. After 15h, there is some 20% left with moderate use. In a normal day, this means that I will have trouble to go through.
I try to do some tweaks to improve the battery life, but really have no clue what to test exactly ( disable 4g seems to have minor effect ).

Your screenshot are ok.
The signal can be problem, for your battery drain.
But I miss the big thing. I can't see how the battery drains over the night. Because all your screnshots don't show the battery drain over night.
Please follow this way:
Charge the phone until is 100%.
Take off the power charger from the phone.
Don't (never) touch the phone in the night and go to sleep.
Then you awake in the morning, make this screenshots.
Other way you can test too ( for the second night).
Update the firmware to the newest firmware.
Reset your phone (to the factory defaults).
Don't configure accounts, don't install apps etc.
Take off the power charger from the phone.
Don't (never) touch the phone in the night and go to sleep.
Then you awake in the morning, make this screenshots.
