MHL battery drain - LG Optimus 4X HD

My battery is rapidly losing power when the phone is connected to MHL. Force fast charge enabled. It can also power off during playing games and stuff.

Sometimes when u playing games without mhl jest with charger connected its also losing power. its just because games need so much power i think..
BTW which ROM are you on? Screen is not reverted?

Is battery drain big even when not playing games? I want to buy MHL adapter but I'm not sure I want to spend 30$ on something that is useless. Of course i asking about externaly powered (with charger) MHL adapter.

Serbia. MHL adapter is 20-25$ + 6-8$ HDMI cable it comes about 30$. I can buy it on ebay, but with taxes that would cost only 5-6$ cheaper and I would have to wait at least 2-3 weeks for delivery. So I think it's easier this way.
But my question remains: Does MHL have huge battery drain when watching movie or pictures. I don't play games so it's not an issue where.

I dont think that you have big battery drain watching movies. Actually its okay

You could test ArararagiToolbox Charge Control : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253129

When the phone is connected at mhl, battery falls with 30-40% for a move time. Otherwise the real problem is after disconnecting with mhl. Then battery lose 60% in less 1 hour, until phone is turn off, and when i touched it is very hot. But when i restart the phone after use mhl there is not such problem. Im with stock rooted rom, cos CM dosnt support good mhl second screen, even on CM11. :cyclops:

Overheating

Hello
The day before I got my Lg O2X and am now experiencing overheating (I think). The app which I have installed shows 42C while charging the battery is a bit warm.
Can anyone suggest me a good app so that I can confirm it?
And yeah I live in India so temperature is a bit high over here 32C when I posted this.
Update: I just noticed as the battery reached 90% charging it started to cool down at the moment it is at 36.7C at 96% (with no change in placement of the phone).
Ya man..the battery of every device heats up while charging and yes i also live in India and if u use ur phone while recharging it goes upto 42°C..
Try not using while charging..
Cheers

Do note that heat is directly proportionate to the amount of power the phone uses. Generally I find custom roms/kernels to be more power hungry than the standard ones.

Mine overheates only while I'm playing and charging in the meanwhile, or in car, navigating and charging.. It's a lot of battery consumption and totally normal..
Leaked GB 20i (topogigi) has a good battery life, the only thing is a battery drain in data mode, but for instance wifi is going really well!

Most people say it makes their battery cycle longer and battery rarely goes to 40C!

[Q] using phone while charging battery

hey folks noob here sorry to say, first off glad i stumbled across this very informative site. will be seeing/ learning more here thats for sure.
i dont know if this a common problem or rooted to my own phone but, when on charge if you use the phone whilst charging the phone, it will not charge (id imagine charging the same level as whats being sucked from the battery) but i was always of the understanding when phones are on charge they don't really use the battery, surley this is a bug? The phone itself is amazing coming from an iphone 4. cant really say a bad word against it otherwise, loving xperia and my first android otherwise.
on a side note is 0.1m/ps the going rate for 3g or H as stated on this phone? im pretty sure i got 1meg with my iphone.
cheers for any input lads.
Anyone of you 39 thats viewed not charged your phone yet?
Yes that's normal to loose battery percentage using the phone while charging especially if you charge it by usb port.
How much your charger output in mA?
Mine is 1500mA

hey mate thanks for the reply, no thats with wall socket charging not via the usb port on comp etc. ill see if i can fine out the charger output. :good:
the Sony charger just can't provide enough power to hold up the thirsty quad core CPU when it fully loaded like playing games. My experience yesterday when it was low on battery ~5% and plugged in with the bundled charger, the battery level kept dropping while I was playing candy crush and eventually it shut off itself. I tried another charger from Note 2 and it holds up better and the output current is 2A for that charger.
Use a tablet charger ora note charger as said :thumbup:

If you use bigger charger and play games than the phone will heat up and will explode.

Paranoia?
Not too sure what games might cause that, but I charge using the Nexus 7 2A charger AND do compute intensive tasks (games, benchmarks, etc) at the same time - got a wee bit warm but if it blows up i'll definitely be the first to know.

Losing battery with charger connected

Recently I noticed that my phone is losing charge while charging, yes im using it but I still think I should gain charge and not be losing it. Is anybody else have this problem?
I get this problem the most when using MHL adaptor, I can be watching a film, from the sd card, and lose almost 60-70% of battery (screen brightness at lowest, and stock charger) is there a way to turn the screen off and use hdmi that I have missed that can help?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Probably the MHL adaptor only accepts 500mAh input. The USB standard, instead of the rated 1500mAh the original charger provides.

Try that to turn off the screen. Needs root.
Thanks, I'll give that a go
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
If you use non sony cable, stock charger will charge with only 500mah.
Use proper charger and usb cable.
I have afew micro usb cables and, every one of them have different charging current. Find the best cable and charger with nova battery monitor application from market.

Wrong
Daniel ! You need to ensure your adapter isn't charging on SSM3 mode. This was the case with me, I disabled it and it fixed the problem.
Are you the guy that is **** at basketball ? thought so ...
What do you mean SSM3? Are do I know you?? Haha
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
losing charge can happen on a proper charger too depending on the use of the device - obviously, aside from trying to get the battery hungry screen turned off you can also turn all radios off that isn't used. kill very battery hungry tasks (normally killing tasks for battery purposes is no good idea, but if one have gone crazy, go ahead and kill it ) you can also try to lower the cpu's max frequency, but of course not so low that the movie can't get played.. hope this helped a bit

Battery issue on cm10.1

I know everyone is starting to use 10.2 but I'm enjoying the rock hard stability of 10.1 at the moment. My only issue is that the battery charges sooooo slow its ridiculous. Is there any way to fix this? Even if I have to edit some random file myself? Its so slow if I'm playing a game it will actually discharge faster than it can charge it. And before you ask yes I'm using the stock charger. I'm tempted however to use the charger from my o.g. transformer as I think it has a higher output rating but I'm concerned about frying my battery.
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
I heard that if you charge phones in airplane mode that it will charge faster. I don't know if it will solve your problem but it is worth a shot.
Sent from my Atrix HD using Tapatalk 4
So I decided to use the transformer charger. Seems to be helping a little. At least its still charging while I play rr3. Any further input would be appreciated tho. Also charging in airplane mode is not an option. I need to be able to receive texts and phone calls.

Even with the 1000mhz bug, the battery wont drain when charging even from the lower powered usb port
You could try and use another battery for a while and see what happens. If that diesn't help i think you should go back to stock and see what happens.
If these answers don't help, then i guess that your charging port is broken and you probably should unroot the device so you can use the waranty...
I went to a samsung centre and bought a new battery and a new charger and it is working fine right now thanks for your answers people .
