[Q] CM10.1 and v20A general battery duration - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hi,
I'm a bit disappointed to see my battery lasting max 10 hours since i upgraded to CM10.1
Coming from LG original rom, i can remember it lasted at least twice.
Am i missing a point or something ?
Do you advice me a kernel other than CM10.1 one ?
Here is my reported usage:
Android platform for 40%
My runs for 15%
Display for 14%
Inactive phone for 10%
GSM sleep, Wifi, Multimedia for 4%
Thank you for your help

I would suggest you to let your battery complete cycles. That means charge your phone to 100% flash any Rom then let it discharge to 5% or 10% but not below 5% complete this cycle for 3 times atleast to check the battery usage and behaviour of your Rom.
If this does not work you can try to change the kernel and do some experiement whatever is suitable for you.

Calibrate battery

Hi guys, i'm having the issue with my battery is only capable of charging till 98%. I mean, it's not that much of a problem, but is there any way to calibrate the battery again? Thanks in advance,

Try to completely empty the battery by rebooting after your phone shuts down because of low battery. Keep rebooting it after it shuts down again till it doesn't want to boot anymore. Till the battery is completely empty.
Then Charge it again and leave it on the charger for more then 20 hours.
Don't know if it's gonna work but give it a try
EDIT: Q? are you using a custom ROM ??
Ok I'll give it a try, thank you. I have this problem since i flashed a modaco firmware and wiped my battery cache via cwm. Anyone else having those issues?

I reverted back to stock on my O2X and I can get 48 hours out of the battery. I had the same issue as you and reverting back to stock seemed to cure it too.
Just an FYI I thought I'd share.

48hours when you are using him or 48h max on standby
USE phone heavily. Use it till the system turns OFF automatically
Turn OFF phone
Charge till it says it is FULL

Sorry, should have given more detail. That 48 hours is with general browsing and social networking with a fair bit of video recording and camera use. No 3G though. All data was over WiFi.
Certainly not just stand-by though.

No full power use of the processor i understand
i thought i had the problem too with the MDC fear 5.3 but it just jumped from 98% to 100 after 10 minutes so its probably a mistake which solved itselve if you charge it long enough.

Didn't work for me, i did it exactly this way, charged it for about 10 hours, booted in recovery, wiped the battery stats and it stills shows 97% when i boot it. However, it's not a disastrous failure, i can live with it and hopefully it gets fixed sometime.
Finally, i found the solution for me. After i reflashed the stock rom, where this problem doesn't occur, i flashed a modaco rom again WITHOUT WIPING THE BATTERY STATS. Now it's all working fine, i charged my phone to 100% a few minutes ago. Hope it will help some of the people, who are still having problems.
Does kernel version has anything to do with this issue?
Don't think so, i tried the stock, Paul's kernel from FR12 and the EternityProject Kernels 1.3 and 1.4, it was all the same until i tried reflashing without wiping battery stats. For the record, i flashed the new TK-Rom V 0.6 with the EternityProject Kernel 1.4.

Depends on what you did during that period.. If the processor was running at MAX frequency the entire time, yes thus might be normal.. Also as I notice from the screenshot, the screen is always in in that time frame.. So you deduce from this

No. It's broken. You should send it to me.
Hi,
Thats an abnormal drain. Try restarting your phone and seeing if the problem persists. Also note that the ROM you are using is still under testing and not a finished product so might experience some difficulties. Consider shifting to a more stable ROM if problem persists.
Having said that, battery drain will depend quite a lot on what apps you have running in the background and your settings.
Best way to analyse the situation is by installing an app called 'Better battery stats'. Its by a XDA member and if i'm not mistaken he offers it on XDA as free download. Try to see what is causing partial wakelocks and kernel wakelocks (your phone should be on deep sleep mode for the majority of time). Try to see what MHz is your processor running at (it shouldnt be in the 1400 range for too long unless you are playing some heavy duty games)
Also try to search for threads on 'wakelocks' on XDA to get more details on this subject.
I have experienced close to 10% drop in 1.5 hr in stock ROMs and around 15% in five hours on CleanNote ROM in idle states with lots of background apps disabled.

Xperia V - Huge battery drain (Google Services)

My Xperia V was draining much battery while sleeping, so yesterday I flashed cm-10.1.3-RC2 hoping it could get better.
But it's still draining almost 30% in a period of 8 hours, while I'm sleeping.
I can notice a huge drain caused by Google Services and have already greenified some apps.
It can't be normal, right?! Could someone help me?
Despite this problem, now I have a really better smartphone... So, thank FXP and, please, keep supporting Xperia V. :thumbup:

Not sure if this question belongs to be an own thread...but ok. here we go.
from my experience with Cm i can tell you, if you want better battery life, then you maybe should use a stock firmware!
I used CM and AOKP some weeks before, but the battery drain wasnt normal, not to say horrible.
But this is my experience. You should ask in your CM-Rom Thread, or CM Q/A Thread i think.
I'm a new member and I couldn't ask this in CM thread
I understood what you've said, but even using stock rom I was having that percentage of draining at night...
Do you have a Xperia V?
Could you (or someone else) tell me how much draining is considered normal in the period I've mentioned before?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
30% in 8 hours means that on average your battery will last a day.
That is perfectly normal.
Also, if you keep flashing stuff and installing apps then it drains battery quicker. Leave it alone for a week and see if it settles down.
Sorry, i have a Xperia T.
in the xperia T thread of tilals unofficial CM build (development section) someone mentions also such problems:

Seriously though this ROM is great. All that needs to be fixed are the camera bug, music wakelock thing, and heavy battery usage from Android System and Google Services and then it's basically perfect.

So, i guess its normal? But an actual CM User can give you better report. Not using it anymore.
awww, gregbradley?
30% in 8hours sleeping? horrible....but you are right, let it settle, fmlogin
Omg, my Galaxy s3 loses only 2% in the same period while sleeping, it's a BIG difference
I had been facing this problem since I bought this phone (2 months ago), that's why I tried to flash CM yesterday... So, I think that nothing will change if I just wait...
Anyway, thank you guys...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
apologies, I didn't see that it was 8 hours while you were asleep. That is not right. But it may be because its working hard after a flash. Please leave it for a while and it should settle, or install better battery stats app (Free on xda) and see whats keeping the phone awake.
Also check what your cpu is set at and the governor, if its on performance it will be maxing out all the time..
The governor is ondemand and I didn't change the clock of cpu...
I'll install the app and come back with a screenshot, so I think it'll be easier to find some problem

Good to know that this isn't happening only with my phone.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Some screenshots.
The graphs show another problem: it is like the phone just know that lost some battery when I turn on the screen.
For example: if I leave the phone with 95%, it pass the hole night "thinking" it has this value, but when I turn on the screen the battery instantly loses around 15%, this "fast drain" stabilizes when it reaches the "real percentage".
Could it be a hardware problem? The battery itself...
Has already someone noticed something similar?

Did it just start doing this? I actually noticed this happen from time to time on about every ROM I have tried, including CM10.2 which I am running now. But it's not all the time. Just a once or twice a month it seems. And it's usually happens when it hits about 40% or so, then drops like a rock to 15%. If it's happening a lot I would try booting back to stock or running a different ROM and see if it does it there as well. If so it could be an issue with the battery. You could also try installing BetterBatteryStats (it is free here on XDA) and see if that tells you anything.
thanks for the reply sir

Hi, I also get bad battery life when I'm on Cyanogenmod 10.1.3, but I got better battery life when I installed 10.2 although I also installed less apps. Have you checked BetterBatteryStats XDA edition yet? It tells you information about kernel wakelocks that could be draining your battery life and you may be able to use this info to fix problems in your phone to improve battery life. And of course when the battery meter reports 20-30% percent it will drop like a rock by 10% (I also experienced this in the Stock ROM from 4.0.4 and 4.1.2)

Battery life

Hey Guys,
I have a big problem and I hope that you can help me.
My problem is about my battery life.
I can use my phone one day, 8 hours- 17 hours but after, my battery is dead.
I don't use a lots my phone just snapchat, twitter, facebook, google, sms...
Two mounth ago, I hold 2 day and my utilisation don't change.
I use greenify, ds battery saver but no result.
I'me really disappointed and I hope you can help me.
I hope my batterie is not dead because I don't want to buy a new battery on internet and my operator don't want to send me a new battery.
I have a samsung galaxy s advance (i9070) and I test lots rom (cm 10, cm 10.1, cm 10.2, cm 11, stock + kernel, etc...)
I'm actually on cm 11.
Thanks a lots and sorry for my very bad english.

I haven't seen any notable difference in battery life on any 4.3 or 4.4 rom. Surfing the web over wifi and brightness set manually to medium i lost about 12-13% charge in 30 minutes.
Higher battery drain can be a placebo effect too. You installed a new rom and expect at least as good battery life as on stock, let's say. Then on your new rom you keep eye on the battery, waking your phone more often and checking the battery status and stats, thus draining the battery little more overall. I won't tell that's the case right now, it's just one possible reason people see their batteries dying sooner. Now i'm currently on fresh CM 10.1 (build 1117) and will find out if there is any difference in battery life compared to CM 11.
