There's an option of forcing the 2d GPU rendering in developer options. I don't really know what it does . Should I check the box?
Does it make apps run smoother or consumes more battery? ???

I always have that option turned on. I generally think the UI must be rendered with the GPU. This improves performance significantly for me.

what version are you running and does this option consume more or less battery?
I'm on Zaiben atm. Don't know if it used more, I have it always turned on. Generally it should only use a little bit more battery.

I have read conflicting reports regarding battery life. Some say it helps, some say it hurts.
I think it hurts bl because the gpu can be quite power hungry, depending on the device. In my personal experience it seems to have hurt my battery life more than it has helped.

So it has just occured to me that my O4X has no "Battery" option in the settings menu. How do I see my battery usage then?
Will gladly appreciate the help

It's hidden inside "Power management" (or similar, don't know how it's called).

Thx guys. Found it. Didn't realize it would be there as the options for power saving are not as appealing as Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2 (no lowering cpu speed).
Do you happen to know any effective way to save O4X battery without compromising much of the performance? LG Gearbox and CPU Master by antutu don't seem to have any positive effects. ROM Toolbox Pro seems like another joke in this situation too.

That seems to be a good solution.. but with only 530 mAh extra battery, I dont think it'll make much difference. I just don't understand why o4x battery drains so fast..
Also, I noticed some people saying they have better battery life after updating firmware to v10H. Mine is v10e, and I believe v10h is newer and may give better battery life, but does it actually affect?

It actually does quite well I have that battery and it gives me around 18 hours where I got with the normal one around 11 12 hours if even. So there is a difference or buy one with a bigger back what I also have. I am on v10f.

Hello,
I received my LG 4X as a present and I finally replaced my iPhone 3gs. I can't say I am all that excited so far - I've been using android in my tablet for almost a year now and I can't say the os has matured enough. Anyway, I cut to the chase.
My friend has installed something on his S3 that enables him to undervolt/underclock his device. Is there something similar for the LG 4x? Or disable cores and have them enabled on-demand?
Has anyone tried such an app/mod? Does it work well?
Thanks for your time!
if you're rooted, the best app for you is SetCPU.

Besides slowing the device down, does it actually give any battery extend results?
Re
I dont know if all was caused by the external sd card but battery improved since i got CN from dexter and Set CPU
Its not possible to undervolt our CPU since our kernel doesnt support it.

That's pretty hard too say....I guess a rom that has no android os/system drain bugs.
It depends very much on the installed apps, if they spawn any background processes which constantly poll some things....
The govenor settings....if it scales to a higher cpu state very fast etc...
Personally i use SlimBean, but you can do some optimizations on any rom.
If you want good battery life I suggest to use greenify to hibernate apps with the unwanted background processes. Enable deepsleep and power done bluetooth in semaphore manager. Undervolt the 100mhz step. Force 2g networks. Use a black theme because the amoled display need less energy for dark themes. Use low autobrightness settings and enable data connection only on demand.
You can disable autopolling of emails etc...remove widgets from the homescreen...
You will probably get about two days with medium usage then.
Guys, do you keep your power saver ON the whole time? Cause I'm doing that. It seems to improve my battery life. My phones battery last more than a day, and while it's ON, I don't see any slow downs or lag which is good. I think it's better to leave it On the whole time. What do you think? Thanks!
I'm keeping Power Save ON always either. The options I've ticked there are the ones for CPU underclock and Data Management. For a week or so I've tried Power Saver combined with Snapdragon BatteryGuru but it didn't improved the battery life which I already was able to achieve so I've uninstalled it. Now I have installed Wi-Fi Matic and Smart Profiles (Free) with Power Save ON and I get the best battery autonomy.
Nope as long sleep mode im good

So it's better to leave it ON right? Will the notifications be delayed or the screen will slow down? What do you guys think I should do, leave it ON, or just when the battery is getting low then i'll ON it?

Leave it on. The slow down is barely noticeable, and it'll get you some extra time before the phone needs to be charged.
Personally, I only tick the cpu box.

There's no downside to leaving it on. 1.1GHz is plenty for most everything to run perfectly smoothly and it doesn't affect the GPU so gaming remains excellent. Personally I don't find it hugely useful (maybe an extra hour with my use) but it sure doesn't hurt anything

what do you mean not useful? It is actually. hehe. I mean it gives me more battery life. Do you keep yours ON all the time too?
I've found another great app for battery saving, which switch on/off data connections smarter than Power Saver. I'm talking about GreenPower Free Battery Saver / GreenPower Premium. I hope this helps you. It helped me.

Like I said, with my usage I only get about another hour, and yes that's with it on the whole time. I don't doubt that the way others use their phone could make it have a larger effect (I'm jealous of these people ) , but for me 1hr doesn't cross into the "useful" category.

Forcing the CPU to under clock won't affect your performance but potentially greatly improve battery life, so why not.
Would it be possible to over clock the RAM on our device? I know it's possible to underclock, we have seen that with the app 'Tegra Overclock' but what about over clocking?

Why would you overclock the ram? I see no reason for it as we have 1 GB Ram and that's enough for almost every daily task. This would only make sense for testing purposes I think.
Besides that I never saw anything to overclock the ram (because most of the times the CPU is the real "problem" of lag).

To speed up the rate at which the memory is accessed, thus slightly reducing lag, it's more an issue of quality over quantity because, as you put it, 1GB is enough for almost every daily task.
I just think that, for a system which needs to manage memory in such a dynamic fashion, an increased clock speed would be highly beneficial, and if it were only slight, I doubt there would be issues with overheating and battery consumption.
Anyway, the purpose of this thread is to question whether it is possible and how?; not to question the necessity of it.
Thank you anyway for your reply though Omario, much appreciated
