Battery Lifetime

Good Morning folks,
as some of you are already proud owners of a LG2x, I would like to know how the battery lifetime really is. Are you guys satisfied? How intensive are you using your device?
It would be nice, if you can describe what you are running, like wifi, gps and so on... pretty sure you know what to write to give me and the others a clear view on the battery lifetime ;-)
cheers,
Manuel

Yesterday I got the phone.
On very very very hard use it took me about 7 hours for the phone to be 0%. That is kinda good in my eyes.
Today I'm doing normal use, to see how the battery goes.
I withnised 100% tot around 60% went kinda fast, but from 60% till 0% took a while
So stay tuned for the today test.

I got the phone the day before yesterday started charging it. Then in the afternoon it was fully charged and i started to play around with it. It did good but then today i had it fully charged overnight and now - at around 15:00 it dropped below 15%! I hadn't been using it for other than a few calls, a few texts and less than 10 minutes fooling around.
Something is up - i don't know what, but the battery info shows most battery usage was drained due to cell standby and mobile standby...
I don't know what really caused this Other than that i love this phone, i just hope i find the reason for this insane drain soon - i tried rebooting and even installed advanced task killer

Hello, I cant really help much on the battery issue other than to say give it a few more cycles before getting too upset.
The last new battery I had in my iPhone took a week to really settle down.
I would uninstall advanced task killer as I believe it has issues with froyo and is not really needed.

Ok thanks - i think i will then

had the phone 2 days now, and feel like the battery drains fairly fast, had a BB before this and im not used to having to charge everyday. Will se how it goes the next couple of days.

Ok, it seems a lot of people already got their device. Is there someone who could try to unload (by heavy use or something else) and reload the battery again and again to get a feeling of the behavior after some loads?
Thanks!
Update: I have an update from a German guy for you who claims to found out that the service "nvrm_daemon" is the one which consumes the most power. Anyone an idea what it is? The "nv" in the name sounds like nvidia...

nvrm has something to do with the NVIDIA kernel module.

Yes, it seems related to Tegra.
I googled and found this little quote about the offending service on a site dealing with the Toshiba AC100 that also use the Tegra 2 chipset:
it makes suspend, sound and cpu frequency scaling work

Isnt it coz that dual core isnt supported very well in 2.2?
Should be fixed in 2.3.

hey xmoo, how come your always one of the first having such nice devices? if i remember right you had the hd2 pretty fast as well back in okt. 2009.
i wanna have it toooo

48 hours.
Way better than the Nexus One. Not much more I can say.
Most importantly, not much more I will say on battery. It's too subjective and circumstance specific.

I should be clear - I do not mean +48 hours battery, I mean I have used the phone for only 48 hours... This includes charging.
But still, much better than my Nexus One. At the same time with the same apps and usage I have 40% and on my Nexus I would have 15%.
We all still need some days (~1 week) for the battery to settle.

Dunno, I think I got the good connections
I have noticed how longer the device works, the battery gets better.
Today from 8 till 17:00 my batter cme from 100% to 69%.

okay in Eindhoven its in stock at a mobilephone shop. i seriously thought about to drive to the shop ... its about 260km from Paderborn
but lg said three days ago the 2x will be available end of next week. so now its up to amazon and its time to say goodbye to htc ... im really curious about the lg 2x
@xmoo thanks for your impressions of battery life. i was a little afraid of power consumption because of the dual core but that sounds fair

hi, 72 hours with the Optimus 2x and i have the same problem with the battery, it drains so fast!! with few use from 7am till 17pm 100%-32% !!! but i think today is better..
here in Antwerp,Belgium there is in stock at pdashop and gsmwijzer
kind regards

hi ~~ just want to ans. the owner of 2X ....

Ok i'm doing a real-life test atm after a few charging cycles.
What did I do/ have I on?
Have I on: Everything (gps, data, wifi (if possible),...)
What did I do: Some gaming, few youtube movies, few short calls, watching mails, some internet browsing, send a few texts.
I'm using the app : Juicedefender in combination with ultimatejuice (this prolonged my battery 2.14x!!!
How long? : Atm i'm using my cell (from full charge) for 44 hours and I still have 39% left! This means that i could get it to run for 3 days on 1 charge!
Note: this is after doing a few cycles, out-of-the-box use gets you the day around!

REALLY bad battery life, is this normal?

Heya,
I've used my One for a few hours now, I'd say moderately heavy use (checked facebook/twitter, downloaded some apps, watched a few youtube video's, played Dungeon Hunter 4 for 30 minutes or so, checked flipboard).
I'm amazed by the poor battery life, especially since all the reviews were so positive. Will it get better? Could I have a faulty battery? This is nowhere near the 14 hours people have been talking about...

you can't tell yet. @Zepid, look for better battery stats xda edition and install it and post the screenshot for kernel and partial wakelocks, other and process.

It's hard to really tell with the default battery monitor, try BetterBatteryStats or GSAM from a full charge and go from there.

Also turn Power Saver on. It limits the CPU to 1.1GHz, and won't even affect gaming performance, or anything else for the matter except benchmarks. Click on the Power Saver option to customize what gets turned on/off.

You should check out the thread that talks about battery saving tips. It helps a lot and make sure you install a custom Rom such as trickdroid.
It's very battery efficient.

Don't forget that if you install a custom ROM, you'll need to root your One. That also means loosing your warranty

DH4 is a beast on battery in my experience. It is hard to play that game and not burn a ton of battery.
Anyway, when I don't play DH4 I still get 5 hours screen time. That's without power saver, auto sync disabled, and Lux adjusting screen brightness. I'm sure if I used power saver I'd get much longer.

Seriously, give it a couple of days!

I have found my battery improved after about a week of having my phone.

Graphic intense games like Dungeon Hunter 4 EATS the battery.

Thanks guys, the Power saving feature definately seems to help, and it's not slowing down the phone at all. I'll give it some time and see if the battery life improves.

before you start combating symptoms, you should first try to diagnose the disease, so you can combat the underlying disease, follow my first post

I have to agree, my battery life is pretty poor. I'm going to give it a week and hopefully it clears itself out.

You should allow more time, at least 2 or 3 updates, to iron out the biggest bugs. All manufacturers need that time, apple en Samsung too.

Best or ideal kernel settings for best battery life with good performance?

The title explains it all—I'm wondering what the best kernel settings are to achieve the best battery life without completely dropping performance. I've never tweaked the kernel on any phone I've owned before, so I have no idea what those settings might be. I currently get around 5-6 hours of SOT, which is great for heavy usage but with a battery those huge we should expect way more.

I'm currently playing around with majorly under clocking the CPU (Currently testing at 1.2 GHz) and have yet to notice a difference in performance. I'll update with battery improvements if any arise.

im on zzmove with profile 6, run only 2 core at 2.4Ghz and every thing seem good
phone run cool and great in game(framerate still good and more stable since no throttling at all, before that with stock, my phone get hot and lag if i play asphat for long) not sure about battery yet but seem good

Try computerfreak ROM, i'm getting 77 hrs on battery and 6 SOT!

Oops just now noticed I had replies.
I'm currently running Resurrection Remix and I seem to be getting better battery life than I was on stock, which is odd; however, I wish to get more. Update me on those kernel settings.
Also I noticed that when I'm at school the cellular signal drains my battery considerably. The signal there is poor, is there any way I can minimize the drainage?

That's a ridiculously easy thing to do, I can't believe I didn't think of this. However, its rather inconvenient. Any other ways? I heard back in 4.4.4 that there was a way to disable certain bands or something to consume less power when you have bad signal.

Well i was on 4.4.4 was really bad didnt know how too fix it.. try to get greenify if ur rooted currently havent charged my phone in like 2 days its kinda hard too kill the battery sometimes

I'm on rr and honestly I'm not getting the best battery. Like 3.5 hour on screen time. It does still make it through the day though. I changed the kernel settings to conservative under cpu, which helped a lot from previously getting under 3.

Settings, configs, performance tuning, kernal tweaks, then in the app in the cpu tab, the cpu governor option. That's where I found it and I turned it down and I'm getting better battery.

That's odd. I get considerable better battery life on RR than I did on stock. I've hit 5.5 and even 6 hours of SOT with heavy to medium use (when I'm not at school at least).

Same here, but I noticed it lasts much longer with Greenify and Amplify installed with Xposed. I lose about 2-3% during standby mode during the night....whereas before I lost about 10-15% even while on RR.

Just got 7HR and 4 mins screen on time with in 2 days didnt use my phone at school only when i was at home so i guess 7hr's is good..
EDIT: i am on stock ROM

That sounds right about what stock should be getting for some users. It's good to reference stock with your personal use versus someone else.
1 hour of a playing a game with full brightness will use significantly more battery than an hour of book reading on night move although they both technically have the same screen on time.

I usually consistently got about 5 hours and 30 minutes of screen on time on stock with medium to heavy usage at school and at home.
On Resurrection Remix, I usually get 5 or sometimes 5 and a half or 6 hours, with heavy usage at home. On school days, I can only manage to get around 3, which I find incredibly odd. I chalk it up to the poor signal at my school draining my battery.

It definitely is decent, but with a battery this huge we should be getting way more. Especially since Moto and Verizon preached about 48hr battery life.

You can get 48 hrs on the Turbo. You can also get 5 hrs. Like I said before, it all depends on your personal usage. Perhaps they have a baseline test they do on every phone so there's no variable aside from battery.

Hello!
I just ran an antutu benchmark on my note and the score is far too low for this phone!!
Any ideas on what's going on?

If your phone was warm when you ran the test, that will effect the results.
Not used Antutu for a while but there should be an imformation tab, there you can see the battery temperature amongst other details. Try running it again when the battery is around 26-28c.
Hopefully then it will be a normal result.
Just ran Antutu and got 203k on stock Oreo.

These benchmarks are a complete waste of time. Honestly.

That actually maybe true considering Samsung uses DVFS to fake benchmarks
Also it was warm. One more thing. The benchmark was run at QHD. Does it make a difference.

Benchmarks do not reflect how the device behaves in real life, the really important thing is how your device performs in everyday circumstances or in intense scenarios

Bad battery. Warranty?

Should I and can I send back my device when the battery is looking like this? I have cleaned out and factory reset it two times and updated. This looks terrible. Screen gets really hot too when playing any game.
I'm aware of threads about the battery, but they don't tell me anything since people just post their GOOD battery screenshot and then say to run debloat script or something, but I shouldn't have to.

Sorry, but your Screenshot is not very detailed. You scrolled down - so we can't see which uses most battery.
I think your battery is fine.
Do you have the screen at max. brightness? Reduce it. Turn off Bluetooth, if not needed.
To be honest - my stats are similar.

I assume u are playing your games at max brightness which is why your screen is so hot.
As for your battery, yes your battery looks normal, even more so if you game heavily on it. I get 4-5 hrs of SOT and majority of it is gaming which looks fine to me.

I'm playing them at approx. 40% of screen brightness, so it must be something else. I assume it could be a cocktail of my bluetooth connection and my 3G network connection maybe (since I don't use the 4G network, to save battery ironically). :/
It's not just playing games, just doing a bit of picture editing gets the phone hot too. But I never had that with my old Z3, that's why I find it weird. It should be more optimized to handle such work.
I will wait and see if I can find something more on it.

It still amazes me how you can get 2 days and more of battery life. Yet again, you've only used your device with screen on for 4 hours in 2 days, so that has saved the battery alot.

My screen gets really hot at 50% brightness after playing a game for 15-20 min, specially if it requires network connection. How about yours?
Even when using the camera the screen gets hot, but SUPPORT settings shows the device temperature is normal, but the screen is really hot.

Its differently. If I Play High Graphic Games the Phone is very Hot after 20 min. But Low Games Like Rise Up works normal.

And I can confirm, that we really need the extra amount of ram.
That's my average ram usage.
I don't play games, I don't use many apps and I use Greenify to close everything.
And I removed or disabled preinstalled (system-)apps I don't need.
I would has only 200mb left on the normal device with 4gb.

You lost 1% battery after charging it 1.5 hours ago?
To calculate the estimated battery time, it uses the last usage statistics.
Btw.
I charge up to 80% (the 80%-100% is killing the battery faster)
WIFI and bluetooth is most of the time deactivated.
