Maybe an app that is newly installed or updated?
If I couldn't manage to solve it I would have restored to an earlier backup of your current rom and checked if that solved it. Of course take a backup first.
If restoring solves it I would have tried to reflash rXtreme v.8 without wipe. If the battery usage is still normal I would then reinstall those missing apps / tweaks one by one and check if they are responsable for the battery issue.

So your saying install rxtreme and then reinstall each app separately?
I normally use titanium backup to restore my roms.

Restore in recovery mode to a time when your current rom didn't had those battery issues. If you want to you can use titanium to reinstall your missing apps if there are any, but do them separately as you said. One by one and test your battery after each reinstall.

Same Issue
Hi I have exactly the same issue and as I have no restore I have tried removing my most recent apps, which has made no difference, my i9305 is even going so far as to drain whilst on charge if I am calling for the duration. Im using most recent CyanogenMod.
Thanks so much for all your help

[Q] Plane mode bug

Hi everyone.
So, this is my problem:
http://images.orkut.com/orkut/photo...9E7ePr_8Am1T1UHiPgwGpeh7tb_Dn59t24Hsb_ZWU.jpg
My wi-fi is turning on by itself after i manually turn it off. And even when i set plane mode the wi-fi is still on. At first i thought it was impossible and i was dreaming but no. This is really annoying me, my battery won't last a day with my wifi always on.
If anyone could possibly help me with this problem i would really aprecciate it! =(
Oh and i already tried wiping all user data and tried flashing other roms as well. I tried shadowmod and cyanogen too. currently i'm using the froyomod 2.7. All have the same problem. I really don't know what to do.

Do you have any 3rd party power saving apps installed? For example, I have an app called "Network Switcher" installed, that given certain conditions, it turns on or off 3g and wifi. I have it set to turn 3g and wifi off between 11:15pm and 7:15am if the screen is off. (this helps save a ton of battery while I'm sleeping)
Your screenshot doesn't look like a clean stock ROM, so even if you did wipe data, it looks like you installed some stuff. Did you do a complete wipe back to stock, and it's still doing this?
No, i don't use any apps to save battery or manage my networks. And yes, everytime i install or upgrade to a new rom i wipe all data. I haven't tried using the 2.2 stock rom to see if i'd have the problem there too. I'm currently using froyomod, i have always used modified roms and i'd never had this sort of problem before.

So when did it start happening? Did you notice it after you installed something? Or after you flashed your current ROM? Did you have anything installed before that may have been saved to your SD card using apps2sd, and it somehow got "lost", but the setting remained?
If I were you, I would flash the stock 2.2.1 SBF (get it here: http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221), and reflash the latest FroyoMOD on top of that. First back up all your app data using TB though, and restore afterwards. That may be your only hope.
I noticed it after i installed Froyomod 2.7, but i don't think it was the rom since nobody else complained about a problem like that. And i haven't installed any different apps than the ones i've always used.
Thank you for the advice! I'll try to flash the SBF file right now, and i will also erase my SD Card, just in case.
I'll let you know after it's done. Thanks again!!
Unfortunately i did everything as i was told and nothing worked, the problem won't go away. Guess i'll have to use the 2.1 stock rom. It's better than having my wi-fi always on. But thanks for the help!! =)

Turns out you're not the only one... see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064823
They did not have any solutions that worked for them either though. Sorry.
Yes, a few people had this problem as well, but nobody said if they got to fix it or if it stopped.
The most annoying thing: I went back to 2.1 stock rom because i thought it would stop, when i installed it was ok but after a few hours that i'm using the rom the problem started again.
This really sucks. I will never buy any motorola products no more.
Anyway, thanks for your help. It's really good to have helpful people on this forum.
Turning the airplane mode on will not disable your wifi... only the radio(antena).
The question is: does your radio works normally?

Yes, everything is working normally, only the wifi that won't turn off.
Ok... there are two free apps on the Market that might fiz your problem.
1) Wifi Fixer
2) FXR Wifi fix and Rescue
Try it and let us know.

I had already tried wifi fixer before, didn't work.
Tried FXR and didn't work as well! Honestly i'm giving up.
I will sell this phone as soon as i get the chance and i'm never gonna buy a motorola ever again! -__-'

Hi, I think the problem is coming from the ROM.
First you should wipe cach/data. I mean factory reset, then download a newly fresh Open Recoveries, and do the flash ROM again and place it into SD card (remember to delete the old one: Nandroid and Open recoveries folders and update.zip file). THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT.
Here is the link of CM7 ROm but very light. it si good for MS than ever:
http://www.mediafire.com/?hdymcqvueo8opm9
Below is the google apps package:

I use it and it works well.

Weird problem with battery. I dont know what to do

I have different problem. When my battery is full everything is ok ( it is possible to play games, surf on via net ) however when it is around 30%-40% when i start a game or 3g a few minutes later screen shows me a massage that my battery is empty and my mobile will be turn off. When i turn on it again battery status has a " X " inside ( so battery is empty ). Its not possible to drain 30% battery in 2 minutes . It is only when phone draining battery more! ( games , 3g , wifi , camera )
Pls help me
PS now i am on the stock rom 2.3.4 ( the newest one )
I had CM 7.2 CM 10 and ICS. Before ICS everything was ok ...
I tried:
battery stats wipe
full drain then full charge
No effects
Did you try a full wipe, a factory reset or even a smart- or nvflash?
This will probably fix it as it does not look like a hardware related problem, if you want to keep your data simply make a nandroid backup, nvflash back to 10b, then restore the backup via CWM

Question 1: Ye , of course. I did all of them.
Ad 2.
I did everything with smartFlash. I have never used nvflash. Would you tell me a full name of this rom ?
Currently i am using:
LGP990AT-00-V20q-EUR-XX-JAN-24-2012+0_AP
Why should I use 10b rom ? The newest is better I think :>
A few minutes ago I installed a CM 7.2 with etana Kernel. I will test it for 2 days. Then i will do what u tell
EDIT:
The same issue on CM7.2 What should I do ?
Eventually your battery is somehow broken.

It rather looks like a battery calibration problem to me. Download this app called battery calibration from the play store and charge the battery to hundred percent and calibrate your battery. Should solve your problem.
Battery calibration won't solve this, it's useless! Calibration removes batterystats, which are deleted everytime you fully charge your phone.
To me it seems that battery is broken.

[Q] Can't run XXLSA after installing apps

I can install Ultimate JB XXLSA v5 without any problem, go through the setup, connect to Wi-Fi etc. but as soon as I install any apps, or restore an app from a Nandroid backup, the phone won't re-boot again. It always hangs at the initial Samsung Galaxy Note banner screen.
There seems to be many posts reporting similar behaviour but not, as far as I can see, where the problem only arises after installing an app.
I am making sure to wipe Cache, Data, Dalvik Cache and all that first but the result is always the same. I was looking forward to XXLSA but this driving me crazy. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Did u make a claen install(with all wipes)
Yes, I did. Tried it over and over.

Are you restoring apps only ? or are you restoring system data too ?
Try to install app only (No app data) incase theres a roque app causing it, Or try to install your apps 1 by 1 until the problem occurs, I know its a PITA but it will identify the culprit.
You were right! Mystery solved - well partly. Turns out Titanium Backup Pro was causing it on my phone for some reason. This was naturally the first app I wanted to install so I could restore apps one by one from the Nandroid backup. I tried Quickboot too which also caused the same problem so because TB and then QB did the same thing I assumed every app was going to cause trouble. Shouldn't jump to conclusions, I know.
I have JB Ultimate XXSLA v5 installed and am restoring my apps one at a time from Google Play and making new Nandroid backups as I go along.
And now I just tried installing TB free version - the phone boots normally! Then I installed the TB Pro version and again the phone boots normally. When TB was the first app I installed after the ROM upgrade it hung up the phone every time on 6 attempts. I'll try re-installing Quickboot now and see what happens. Conclusion: I must have been doing something in the wrong sequence but can's see what.
Many thanks for your help.

[Q] The battery drains very fast

Hello fellow please help please my optimus black is consuming the battery you'll quickly!
happens that they changed the plate to OB and I returned it and everything seemed normal, but When I upgrade to GB (I handed the phone with froyo) because now tells me that the mobile radio consumes up to 70% of the battery and that I have it in airplane mode, the truth is frustrating because in almost 2 hours battery runs out, you do not, someone has had a similar problem? or a solution? thanks
sorry for my bad english.
Do a factory rest.

Try with another battery if you can get or borrow another one.Maybe is just a worn out battery.
does it get hot? some how untouchable hot?
Share the details of battery, how many years old the battery and how many hours of talk-time you used and your average usage.
Try factory reset, battery calibration, don't use more widgets on homescreen, clear cache frequently and close background apps
These are some TIPS, I have excellent battery performance with CM10
The OB only one year, almost did not used to call, only to hear music, whats app, wifi, gps sporadically, the problem started since the turn of the plate, and now worse, I lost the imei to back to froyo: (

I have the same issue, I am using Mackay 4.2.2 ROM but the battery drains from 100% to 30% in 3 hrs - with phone in standby most of the time. Not sure what the problem is. I was using Huexx GB ROM and my battery used to stay for 2 days
You have to check a few things (in order)...
Check if Wifi/GPS/bluetooth/mobile data is on
Clear cache and dalvik cache from recovery
Flash the ROM wiping only cache and dalvik cache (this will restore some values in system files that could cause the battery drain). If you used some app like Pimp My Rom or mess with system files, this step is important
Make sure that there aren't any app that is causing the battery drain (you can use this app to do that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en )
Check the baseband, and do a match. If Froyo, use v10X, if Gingerbread use v20X, if ICS use v30X. In each version, use the one for your country. For an example, I'm from Portugal and I have IZS, then I use v30B baseband from Portugal (you can download the basebands here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1 and here you can use this tool to extract the FLS (aka baseband) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692191 ) and then wipe cache and dalvik cache
Factory reset
Factory wipe (from recovery), wipe cache, dalvik cache, format /system and /data, delete .android_secure located in the sd card and flash the ROM again
After this and you still have battery problems, try another ROM.
Note: This steps applies to any ROM.

It's a bit much but it's normal that Mackay uses at least 3 times as much battery as Zeus 6.4.

Zeus was best but as it was GB I left it. Will try IZS soon, but Mackay seems a big problem. I have tried few more but all are like the same (all JB ROMs). Not sure if all LGP970 users facing the same
Mackay and all another CM Roms have heavy battery train.
Use Zeus or Marvel, with Marvel i delete all unnecessary Apps, my Black runs 3-5 days.

Go back to stock JB, and see if you have problem there. That's how you will see if the problem is because of CM11 or it is some hardware problem.
Same
Me too experiencing this problem. I changed to a new Samsung battery off eBay after which i tried CM11. Its not there always. If i keep phone idle with almost every connectivity toggled OFF, it charges, but when Wi-Fi is on but not in use, the charging is pretty slow or sometimes no progress at all.

look the last thing that i will do its to install this slow ass stock
im sure on 200% that if i will reinstall the cm its will help just i dont want to wipe my phone now just
all my cm and android files has been ****ed up i think
the stock will not help im sure
If you don't want to go back to JB and do a clean install, you should wipe everything and format system, flash TC Cm11, boot, power off and recovery again, wipes (everything again) and flash the CM u want to use, then gapps -> happiness. Give it a try.
Edit: Stock JB is extremely bad if you don't clean it. There are too many APK files and this phone can't handle that much. That's why Fmod was created... Based on LQE deodexed and deleted every apk what is not needed. With this you can get the most stable rom (CoCore is needed too), the only way to crash sth on it is to go into the test apps. There are some things that are deleted from it.
I have a charging problem too, on cm based cook rom only. Sometimes the battery seems to drop when i connect the phone to use its usb storage

I use the charger that came within the Box. As some of u z.. i too think this could be the prob of the battery, though CM11 of our's is not currently good in Battery backup i guess.
or is it?

Well,it depends from what you mean with "good"
For me every custom Rom has the same results in battery backup,that is at least 2,5 hours of sot,screen on time,sometimes I get worse sot,sometimes I get better sot,it varies from time to time according to what you do with your phone..btw you should try to change your charger & compare the results..often a damage inside the wire isn't visible with naked eyes,maybe some micro cuts you can barely see at sunlight,can be the reason of your issue mate..
Have a good night pals
