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?

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.

okay in Eindhoven its in stock at a mobilephone shop. i seriously thought about to drive to the shop ... its about 260km from Paderborn
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..
here in Antwerp,Belgium there is in stock at pdashop and gsmwijzer
kind regards

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!
There's not a single thread out there that has helped me with my damn battery life that I've been able to find. I'm sick of hearing, "did you search first?" Yes, I searched first. I didn't find anything that helped, that's why I made a new thread.
Anyways, I've tried apps, widgets, calibrating, deleting batterystats.bin, flashing different roms, kernels, modems, and even a new battery. Not a single thing has made my phone last through the day, and it's getting to the point where I'm about to flash back to stock, and forget about it. I need to be able to use it when I need it, not put it back in my pocket because I'm afraid of draining the battery. Honestly I'm not sure if the battery issue is rom related, so If that doesn't work, I may just get a different phone. I need to not have to charge my phone every 6 hours. Does anyone have any idea how to improve battery life on this freakin' thing? 6-7 hours on light usage is not enough. To put it in to perspective, I get 10-15% battery drain in STANDBY per hour. Serendipity 6.4 was a little better than 7, but not much. still within that 6-7 hour range. Is there anything else I can try? Anything at all? I went from 7 back to 6.4 because I thought Android System was draining my battery, but it didn't really do anything. I'm open to everything at this point. Voodoo, cult magic, anything.
Edit: reading through my message, I wanted to clarify that I am very grateful for your help, I hope I didn't imply otherwise.
Serendipity 6.4
Baseband version I9000UGJK4
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9

Have you tried Juicedefender? It's helped me immensely. Other than that, I could suggest getting an extended battery, if you're willing to cope with a lumpy cappy. I'm too noob to know how to fix this problem other than by using the brute force route, but it's worth a shot.

Well, battery usage shows just about nothing... I was using 6.4 but after it did nothing for my battery life, I went back to 7. Now the android system thing is back but I'm getting the same battery life.
Here's what it shows under battery usage for today:
Display 29%
Android System 25%
Android OS 10%
Google Services 7%
Cell Standby 6%
Fancy Widget 4%
Handcent SMS 3%
Battery Graph 2%
Phone Idle 2%
JuiceDefender 2%
Dialer 1%
and that's it.
if you start seeing android system and android os that high, shut down, yank battery and let it sit for a few minutes. then replace and start up. should help with that and improve battery life.

The problem is, I'd be doing that every 15 minutes. It boots up already taking up more than 10%. I just did exactly what you said, and it booted at 23% for system and 3% for os.

flashed cyanogenmod 7, and turned off mobile data and wifi and just left it on idle for like 2 hours after resetting the batterystats.bin and rebooting... i uninstalled juicedefender because it was actually USING batter... *shrug* and left it that way... well, I opened battery left and looked at it and saw that it would die at like 5am... well, i was disappointed... until I noticed it was 5am, 26 hours from now. That's notibly longer than any battery left stat I've seen since I started noting battery issues... So... Yeah. I think I'll stick with CM7 for a while hehe. After I get an idle benchmark, I'll start using it more. Thank you for your help.
do you live in a poor 3g area?
the problem could be that the phone is constantly looking for a good connection and cant find one, causing massive battery drain

I was just going to say the same thing. If your phone is constantly trying to establish a connection, is alway searching, it's using up lots of juice. Same if you've got gps enable or wifi on. If it's looking, it's active and battery's being used.
Another thing you can try which helped me is to call art and get another free battery if your phone is still under warranty. The new battery I have seems to last almost twice as long as my old one. Of course make sure that the android os isn't eating the battery and mine last a while. Just a suggestion.

Hi
I've been lurking these forums looking for this but haven't found anything quite like this. The P880 prides itself on great standby battery life but mine is draining more than my previous Motorola RAZR (not the maxx). It never lasts more than about 14-15 hours and that is when i do almost nothing. One, two calls a few messages with no wifi and data off. I have factory reset the phone a few times and whiped the cache. I've tried not installing any software when done and fully charging but still it drains. I'm on v10f but this was a problem before I updated as well.
My only thought is that the battery is flawed, but I don't want to wait 2 weeks for it in repairs if it isn't (the service here is slow and customer support is weak when it comes to this, here in Iceland)
I took screenshots of the drainage. 90% of that is me not using the phone at all. Is this normal? Should I ask for a new battery? The phone is about 3 weeks old btw.

What version are you on? 10f has seen lot of improvement in battery life. I dont have to use SetCPU anymore to get better battery and let it run on max 1.5ghz and still seeing very good battery life, despite heavy use.
Yeah I'm on 10f as well. I was wondering if maybe flashing the phone and try to reset it totally would help but I don't know if that'd be any different than just factory resetting?

I'm going to charge him to 100% and leave him with nothing on all night and see how he handles it. What would normally happen? How much percent-drop would the battery have on an 7-8hour timespan?
Went to sleep with the phone at 94% and woke up with 69%. Everything was off. Sync, mobile data, wifi, backround data, location, gps, nfc, I even set it to 2g networks only. Now it says that the "phone" took 69% of that? I'm flabbergasted.

Same here man but didn't diseabled auto sync and broadcoast cell yet so I'm curious if I go sleep and wake up how much juice it took from my 4xHD. Something is sucking out the juice out of our phones.
The only thing that update did change with me is the heath it didn't get as hot as before but my battery is still eating a lot even when is standby.
Hey, I don't no if your phone is rooted or not?
Try deleting superuser, it helped my battery life. And also you should charge your phone more than 100% , that helped too for me.

Try to do a factory reset, the update didn't help me until I did a factory reset. Now my 4X HD only looses about 1-2% over night vid auto sync, before factory reset I lost about 30-40%.

I use GO Power Master to auto switch to Alarm mode (only alarm, brightness 30%), and the phone eat less than 1% of battery for 6 hours. (firmware V10f)
I cannot see the attached images (don't know why) but I think you should check how long your phone is Awake, Screen On, Wifi and GPS On... then see which apps are cause the drainage.
Also, give the battery more recharge cycles. The battery life on first 2 cycles was catastrophic - for example it lost 4% just by rebooting, but after few days it stabilized to my ordinary each 2nd day charging cycle when turned off in the night. The biggest battery eater seems to be for me display brightness.
Batterylife with 10F is pretty good. Over night I dont lose any battery (data off) and during the day with autosync on only ~2 percent per hour. This is even better than the Samsung Galaxy S2 which I previously used. I did set CPU max speed to 1,1GHz with SetCPU.

yes its an estimate If you leave your phone for 1 hour doing nothing it will say about 3-4 days, play a game for 10 mins then it will say maybe 7-8 hours, its not an issue its estimating on your current usage!

That would make sense but why did it take two days to begin to tell me about it ?
I'll leave it overnight and check first thing in the morning, my guess is that this is a glitch, i hope youre right though, it used to say 3 and a half days when i was on about 85% and now it doesn't, i just find that strange, i'm on 45% at the moment and it's saying 2 hours ? 9 in stamina mode ?
Surely that can't be right.
Heres two screen shots of the power management app showing a lot less than it used to, even on 100% with both stamina mode on and off.
I'm not gonna ask any questions about why batteries drop so fast because i figured that out. Now my battery's draining 1.5%/hour on idle. That's good. The problem is whenever I use my phone continuously for an hour or so, there would be a major significant battery drop when I reboot it. I tried waiting for the battery to recalibrate but it doesn't. Not to mention an average use would eat my battery by 10%/hour or more. Other than that, whenever I let my phone on idle until it's at 40-30%, the battery level suddenly goes to 1% when I use it and my phone would shut down.
