Hi all lucky owners of lg optimus 2x,
I want to ask you a question about battery life of optimus 2x . Is it really better than single cored ones or same, i m not expecting better life really
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
There's a good review in the optimus 2x forum:
http://www.optimus2x.net/index.php?topic=156.0
Conclusion:
30mn YouTube HD (wifi)LG Optimus 2X: 9% batteryGoogle Nexus S: 7% battery30mn Neocore (3D graphics)LG Optimus 2X: 12% battery @ 74FPS Google Nexus S: 9% battery @ 54FPS8hrs of stand-by LG Optimus 2X: 2% battery Google Nexus S: 3% battery
Wow, quite good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that test is a bit flawed... PaulOBrien reported that the Nexus S exaggerates it's battery % quite seriously...

You are used o2x. What can you said about battery life of subj? On sleep mode? On used mode?
Here is an interesting test of battery life of the lg o2x.

my battery life blows :/
Well, mine has a pretty good battery....you know now I have time, so I just keep playing with it all day, so with auto-brightness and WiFi always on, playing pretty much all-day I got through 1 day without my charger. Without wifi and less playing I think 2-3 days could be easily achieved.
I am using V10d rom unrooted.
It happended several times now. I need to change SIM cards often as I travelled to different areas during my work. Before I pull out the battery,it is at 50%. After I change SIM card and put back the battery, it drop to less than 17%. It takes me less than a minute to change the SIM card. What happened to the battery??

I managed to get 3 days+ out of it under average use. Could probably easily manage 4+ with setCPU or something underclocking the processor and turning off data, etc.

which rom do you use, kernel, what apps do you have running? can you give some infos about your system?
thanks!
Yeah spill the beans i can normally get 20/25 hours on lightish use. Would love to know how to get it to 2 days with room to spare for charging

i'd like to know too. My battery life sucks. Barely make it through a day now. On MCR FR17..
This is one of many threads about this.. But i'll respond anyway.
I had same issue, after some tests, i found out its GSM part of phone thats draining the juice. With airplane mode on it was about 3% in 8h. I was on BlazingDragon, with some apps, normal phone use It lasted 24h on standby without any use, no more.
Yesterday, i tried to flash (lastest for central europe) stock firmware, including baseband, simply i got the phone into factory state. And well, during night with data off it was 1% (yes, you are reading it right, i woke up with phone on 99%), now 10h later with lighter usage (some mp3, not much, a little of tapatalk, gmail push on) i'm at 78%.
I dont have any software except tapatalk installed atm. Dont think my problem with with BlazingDragon rom thou, i suspect some application caused it, but dunno which one
I think it will last 2 days with current usage, and several days with data disabled (using it as plain old phone only for calls )
PS: I dont use any JuiceDefender etc..
Iam using slicks rom, if i only write sms and surf sometimes, i have to charge every third day, but if i playing THD games, i have to charge after 3-4 hours
+1
the stand by time is really nice but gaming sucks out everything from my battery
Other than the battery drain during standby, my current observation is that, say if my battery was at 50% before I pull out the battery (say if I need to change SIM card), after I changed SIM and put the battery within one minute, it suddenly drops to less than 17%. Why the battery loss 33% in no time?
People keep saying that the phone can last a week if it is on airplane mode, or by turning off data 3 days, but then why we need a smartphone of such build?
Has anyone compare the other dual core or tegra2 phones in the market how they perform battery life? Do they have such awful battery drain standby? LG said the battery drain was due to incompatibility of tegra2 and android 2.2. Why sell the phone in the first place? This problem starts from day 1. LG no QC or just want hiding this problem from customer?

it looks like a calibration problem. Either 50% or 17% reading was false.
Just did two full days after reflash with MCR.
I have Samsung Galaxy ace overall this phone is really good ..but it lacks only in Battery backup .For watching movies ,listening to Music the default 1350 mAh battery works fine but as soon as i start using internet with 3g connection battery lasts only for 4-5 hrs ..so i wanted to know does 1500 mAh /1750 mAh battery works properly in Ace without any problems and how much battery backup i will get with it??

Are you using it?
High Battery not really good. You should buy more original battery and use a dock charge.
I use the Orginall Samsung 1500 mAh battery from the I5800
works perfect and is like the same from Ace

K bt wat abt the backup ... for how many hrs ur battery lasts if u watch- 2 youtube videos ,surf net for 1 hr in a day,and download 2apps from market with 3g connection???
And tell me whether Li-on
1500 mAh battery functions properly in
samsung galaxy ace S5830..
I mean are there any problems reported
like cell not functioning properly,or cell
phone getting overheated...if any plzzz let me know!!
Alphatime like they are not the same. You really can't fit i5800 battery into galaxy ace. Why would you claim such a thing?
Now for some useful information. The phone can be optimized to last long in standby mode, simply by turning off the data connection when not using it, and switching to 2G. You can let jucedefender do that for you, or APN access point to manualy turn connection on and off.
But what good is a smart phone in a standby mode? The moment you start using it for something like say playing games, you got 2 hours gaming on a full charge. Now that’s pathetic.
Here are some things you can do to keep CPU less busy.
Use bsplayer lite to watch movies. It uses hardware acceleration to decode videos. It will keep CPU consuming less than 150mW. Unlike other players that use software decoding and constantly hit cpu usage as high as 400mW. So you can get 5+ hours (depending on brightness settings) watching movies using bsplayer.
Generally browsers will remain under 150mW if you let them sit still, but the moment you start scrolling (CPU) or opening links (radio) the power consumption will peak. Now Opera mini seems to take least CPU power. Obviously turning on wifi and 3G will drain much faster. The best battery time can be achieved using the 2G network data connection together with opera mini. Opera mobile seems to have hardware acceleration but I yet have to test the power consumption.
Test the applications you frequently use. You can use the power tutor program to monitor power consumption and test your application.
I've found that some programs, even the simple book readers will just lock the CPU at 800MHz even if you let them stand still, doing nothing with constant 400mW drain. Uninstall such applications or use them for short periods.
Well games have a high CPU demand and subsequently power consumption, and there is nothing to do about that.
Basically you can get:
2-3 days in standby or,
2 hours of playing games, and using unoptimized applications or,
5+ hours using applications with good coding and or hardware acceleration.
Underclocking the CPU using setCPU has no effect, becouse optimized applications allready scale the cpu to 250mhz or 128mhz. And demanding applications will stutter when underclocked and won't consume much less power.
I've just ordered this 2430mah

hey thnks for info...jst tell me whether Li-on 1500 mAh battery functions properly in samsung galaxy ace S5830..

All the measurements that ive made were done using official 1350 mah battery.
So using oem 1350 battery on a single charge you can get 5 hours of video using bsplayer or 4h using opera mini with wifi. I just dont play games on my samsung or use unoptimized applications and I get good battery life.
Currently there are no >1350mah batteries that can fit inside galaxy ace (S830). All these unofficial batteries that claim more capacity are a hoax (chinese 2400 really?).
If there will ever be a larger capacity battery, they will be sold together with a special back cover so that a much thicker battery can fit inside the samsung galaxy ace.
Cheers

Ok, then my 2430mAh hoax battery lasts longer than my stock battery. And it's not chinese, it's japanese. It's not a small difference I'm really happy with my hoax! With stock it lasts 30-35 hours normal usage, with new battery there was 59 hours.

Yes, that's it, same as my experience.
This particular gold 2430 battery, has a faulty or missing temperature sensor. This means it can charge to a somewhat higher capacity, but never actually 2430mah.
The capacity of 2430mah would mean an energy density of 900W/L. Now currently the record breaking panasonic lithium ion battery has a denisty of 650W/L
The good thing about a temperature sensor is that its actually a failsafe mechanism keeping the battery from not exploding.
So try to keep your phone on a cold place while charging and away from flamable stuff.
And even if its made in Japan I somehow suspect that the Chinese have to do something with the faulty temperature senzor.
Cheers.
Well My ace doesn't get very hot anyway so I'm not worried
I should get it lol...

Starting 3 days ago when I restored my nandroid backup of just the normal stock LG ROM that's comes on the phone but still rooted. And now.my battery barely last 3-4 hours with light use. If I listen to.music while riding the bus carpool.to work or.through my car stereo. Or especially if I use the net, YouTube, and other apps or.download and update stuff. It barely last 2 hours maybe 3 and a half. I know battery life on stock roms are lousy and I am used to using a custom rom but even on stock when I first got the phone I would get 5 maybe 6hours on medium to heavy use and even more on low to medium use. So any ideas on what's up with this issue. I am starting to think my battery is messed up and taking a dive.

Sounds like it could be the battery. It could also be that a newly-installed program is constantly running in the background. I know that ROM toolbox pro has an App Manager program that will show you which programs are running (You should also be able to check this under settings/applications/running services on your phone).
If you don't have the extended battery yet I highly recommend it. My phone typically lasts 12+ hours uncharged with Moderate use. Granted I am on BO Rom 1.1 instead of stock but the battery life has been dramatically increased and the extended batteries have been on sale at verizon now.
Sounds like a bad battery. I had my original one that started to last only 4 or 5 hours with light use. I had bought a dock off amazon that had 2 batteries and also an extended off verizon. Now I always have charged batteries.

I found this "2150mAh High Capacity Battery for HTC Wildfire G8 Legend G6". 6.99 € free shipping! (e b a y ^^)
I'm a bit sceptical towards this manufacturer specification, because it's very cheap although very high capacity, general product description etc.
Does anyone tested this Battery?
I just bought it and going to test the (real) capacity in a few days, when it's delivered.
Edit #1:
I use the stock Battery "BB0100" Li-Ion Polymer 1300 mAh. About 2 1/2 year old, daily charged.
There is another stock battery "BA S420" Li-Ion which supposed to be better than BB0100, but i haven't proved this.
My configuration: CPU 600 Mhz, max Brightness, official Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable. Regular Weather, Facebook, E-Mail updates + "avast! Mobile Security".
The battery was recalibrated at 100% charge.
Then i start "Battery Benchmark": "Full bench: "100% to lights out)"
(Battery Bench uses alternating GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi, Networkdata, Screen on/off, CPU, to simulate smartphone usage. It loops until 0% and notes the operating time.)
Result: 06:26h
Edit #2:
Battery Benchmark from 100% to 0% = Result: 05:22h
This new Battery has a lower real capacity than the stock HTC 2 1/2 year old Battery!

How many times have you cycled the new battery ie charged from flat to full? LiIon batteries usually need 2-3 full cycles before they reach full capacity .. give it a go and see how it goes after a few cycles..

Hello,
I just got my nex4 few days ago. I would to know how your nexus 4 final stability test result.
Application: Stability test v2.7
Conditions: classic stability test with:
1. Everything enabled, wifi, 3g, etc.
2. Full brightness
3. 18minutes run
Result:
1. Battery temperature
2. Battery % drop.
Here is mine: 30% battery drop, final battery temperature of 52degC. If my result is peculiar, then I shall ask for a replacement. Its very hot, and the battery drained too much.
No worries if you have customized kernel or rom. Mine is everything stock.
That's normal. You ran it for almost 20 mins. If all four cores are running at highest frequency then the phone will get hot, and therefore the battery temp will go high. Unfortunately Nexus 4 is prone to get hot and therefore it throttles down. Use custom kernel to get more out of your phone.

Thanks, but I am curious how other users n4 performs.
You guys should check thermal hard mod thread. We've done a fair bit of testing there.
