Battery life - LG Optimus 4X HD

My battery life is really bad that i have to charge the phone twice a day sometimes more
i tried every thing said here on the forums, i disabled LG bloatware, i lowered the brightness to 0% but with no luck
so is the only way is to unlock the device and install a custom rom? or could it be the battery hardware itself? because i realized that the battery charges really fast, also i just got the phone 4 days ago is it normal that out of the box the battery life is this bad?
EDIT: it looks like i'm running UAE firmware, would it help if i flashed a kdz file for a European firmware? if yes which firmware should i install from these http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?

Using a different kernel would be the better idea IMO

I dont know if it could be caused by sre doesn't it use the overclock 1.2 ghz kernel i am not sure if that would drastically effect battery life or not.

For me, the lag fix alone didn't cause a drop in battery life, but right now I'm having a huge problem with the battery.
Well Ive been running set cpu at 1000 max.so isn't think the overclock was the issue.

I have been running jh3, sre with the lag fix and noticing battery life has not been that good. I dont know what is causing it I am going to back up my apps with titanium and run odin and run at stock for a day or two and see if battery life improves. Right now i am getting maybe 7 or 8 hours with regular phone use which isnt that good

That is my batt life. Not good at all anymore. With lagfix and OC kernal. But it is about the same after those installs and what not
If you installed the lagfix to the SDcard (installed the ext2 that is), maybe your card is just being read a lot more and is using more power? (conjecture, I don't actually know :x )

steel droid 3?
Yes I think he means Steel Droid 3... Also, just to make sure, you DO have an XT862 right? I've heard the Steel Droid ROM will screw up an XT860. Just being thorough.

How do you guys SD compare to Liberty? I actually think it does better.

Ive never tried SD but both Monster and Liberty worked well for me.

This is very light use (some texts/tweets/angry birds/randomness) but still it shows theres no real standyby leak on Liberty, and ive seen similar performance on Monster.
All goes to show that at this point all the major ones are basically the same. You'll even see decent battery life from the stock ROM (5.6.890 update) once debloated.
Thanks for mentioning that, Savior057. I busted my XT860 by trying to flash Steel Droid. If your phone is an XT860, there are no ROMS available yet (except the Stock Chinese ROM (SBF/XML that can be flashed via Fastboot) - but I wouldn't flash that unless you absolutely had to! There is no stock Bell XT860 SBF/XML flash available yet).

I tried both SD and Liberty. This is the result of my experiment.
I tried SD 3 first. It had a very good battery life. Then I tried Liberty Gold. It was not good so went back to SD 3. Now, a couple of days ago, I flashed Liberty 1.2. the battery life is much better than SD 3. 24 hours after charging, I still have 60% left with moderate usage.
I hope this helps.
P.s: I also tried Monster 12. I was not impressed.

All of a sudden for me too, GPS is now eating up to 15% of my battery and the Android OS is at 11%... I noticed this this morning. The only thing I installed last night was Greenify...
Quite similar to what I have. Android system and Android os always on top

This is new for me. I normally have pretty crap battery life but services and OS are normally never this high. The battery on my phone is so hit or miss. It 's behavior seriously changes daily. I don't get it.

By the way, it got me to 8.30pm yesterday before I had to charge. As bad and inconsistent the battery is, at the very least I can say it gets me to dinner without too much babying. I'm just concerned when it drains much quicker than usual which means I can't use it as much for it to survive.

Awful S3 LTE (i9305) Battery - Discharge even system off

Hi Guys,
I have a very awful battery with my phone. See, even it discharge nearly 50% when I sleep at 12midnight (100% charge), when I woke up it already has below 50% battery. The phone is completely on a factory state, Poland Firmware 4.4.4 Kitkat. I even have bought a new OEM original battery and it just performs the same.
Also I noticed that cpu usage (developer options) are very high, but when I restart the phone it averages to 2.0/1.5/0.8 or something near to that values.
Do i have a problem with any of the following?
1. Bootloader
2. Kernel - but why it drains even if turned off
3. hardware
4. battery - unlikely because it is brand new. bough it around $30.
5. firmware
6. Baseband
7. Modem
I dont know, I've been looking around but cant solve this dilemma

You have exactly the same problem as mine?
I also got this phone I9305 4.4.4 ...... Using Anker 2200mAh battery and use wifi after every 5-10 Minutes and the battery timing for me is not that Good and not even bad
Strange. I don't think this could be a software issue, in this situation I mean firmware. Because, you tried several ROMs including stock and custom, and problem appear. Also as you told, you bought a new battery and the issue still occur. I am curious why it is draining even turned off. In my opinion, this is hardware problem, the mobo is faulty.

Do you try to watch what is using your battery with GSam, WakeLock Detector (WLD) or Better Battery Status (BBS)?

WiFi Speedtests - WTF is going on? All results very slow.

I've been using my X527 for a few weeks now, it's a nicely built phone and very snappy in general.
During the past week, I've noticed that my Speedtest.net results are terrible....

Same thing if I use speedof.me website - very low results.
Now, if I do a speedtest on my ZTE Z958 Zmax2, I get full speed on the same network, sitting in the same position.
Any ideas what the problem is?
I'm on this ROM:
Battery life is also terrible, shortest life of any phone I've owned to be honest!

Well I thought I would upgrade my ROM tonight and managed to mistakenly press the wipe date icon in Chinese and now have a stock 16s X527 again!
But after doing a factory reset and losing all my data - I'm getting full Speedtest results again....?
Time to think about getting that ROM upgraded now lol
