[LG Optimus 2x] MrThomsen:
The percentage shown in the Settings > About Phone > Status > Battery Use are the amount of battery used by this component in the time shown at top. It shows how many percentage of the total drain of you battery has gone fx my info are atm:

4t 7m 46s since interruption(? have danish so don't know the English word used here)

Standby 49%

Phone inactive 48%

Display 2%

Wifi 2%

my battery is at 96%

This is almost with no use since I'm in class at the moment but still useful for this purpose. I don't know if it is these figures people are going crazy over but they really don't matter since it's 49% and 48% of 4% of my total battery they have drained.

Are people having problem with getting through the day with their phone?

On another note i really don't know how this is coded since they managed to get these component to use 102% of my used battery o.O
[LG Optimus 2x] SweCrown:
If it was just a number on a screen I would'nt do a fuzz about it. But yes, there is no way that my phone lasts a day.

I struggle to get 8-9 hours of battery life between charges, and that is with very moderate / light use (1 gmail, 1 twitter, 1facebook sync, some calls and text messages, minimum of browsing and no gaming). If I'm really lucky it lasts through the work day - but in general it don't.

Comparing to other android devices cell standby is what is causing all this.
[LG Optimus 2x] MrThomsen:
As I remember I also struggled a bit with the battery at start, but i made sure that the GPS was off and unchecked it in Locations. That seemed to have been the major thing for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] tangenn:
I have the same issue!

As soon as I unplug my phone it drops from 100% to 96. If i plug it back in it takes a couple of minutes to reach 100%.

I have to charge the battery after 6 hours with normal use. Some surfing, gaming, calling and texting. It literally feels like I'm stuck to either a computer or a wall socket!
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
A thread has been posted by withoutwings on MoDaCo describing excessive sensor usage, have any of you checked yours ?

Thread: http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-optimus-2x-2x-modaco-com/337078/sensor-usage-is-nuts/

I'm not able to use my phone now so I can't check...
[LG Optimus 2x] kfallz:
Ye, alarm clock seems to be happy on sensor usage(even tho i've disabled gestures, button usage etcetcetc). Anyone got a good replacement? I like this one because it's a nice combination of alarm/timer/world clock & stop-watch.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
I am running fr12 with the latest april baseband and I can report that the consumption for mobile standby and phone inactive didn't improve. 80% of my battery usage is still caused by this. From 08:00 this morning my battery went down to 18% at 16:00. I compared to a collegue with a Galaxy S today with a custom rom and he went from 100% at 06:00 to 68% at 16:00 with very similar usage. In his battery stats about 6% accounted for mobile standby and phone inactive and 80% was the screen usage. Screen battery usage on mine was reported as 2% which indicates the huge differences in power consumption for both these items. Tomorrow we will do the same comparison, keep wifi deactivated whole day, and see what it looks like at the end of the day and I will post a picture of both phones. There is very clearly a very big issue with this on the Optimus 2x which has nothing to do with the phone being dual-core.

I am keen on going back to stock radio and stock dutch software to see if it improves dramatically.
[LG Optimus 2x] 31kcir:
man...

I bought my 2x about 2 weeks ago, and i was fascinated by the good battery life!

but since a few days its just f***** up!:(

if cyanogen wont bring a change i will send my phone back and then i will buy htc sensation! I dont want to tweak around with my phone all the time, i just want to use it!:mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] Blizze:
I have my Optimus 2x for 5 days now and batterylife is improved a lot! This morning 7.30 it came of the charger with full charge and now I have more than 50% battery. Did use the phone today a couple of times for mail, whatsapp, a bit wifi and little gps.

I do turj gps and wifi off when not using it. Still at stock ROM with root. Disabled fsecure and carhome.

love the device!

The first days it drained a lot faster
[LG Optimus 2x] backdafucup:
I can fully recognize the same problem with the battery. after updating the baseband and going for Modaco, my battery loses 10-15% pr. hour at least - and that's without usage only standby.

I don't know what is resulting in this draining, but cell standby is 50% of battery usage..?
[LG Optimus 2x] gk141054:
Hi guys,

I have selected "2g data only" today and after 11 hours i'm on 71%

Only problem is everytime I want to use the internet I have to remember to turn that off or else its way too slow. Problem is I always forget to do it so launch the browser, sit for a minute waiting for it to load, get peed off, go out to turn it off and then go back in... very annoying.

Is there any way to turn 3g back on automatically everytime I put the screen on or launch the browser, but then turn it back off when i lock the phone / close the browser?

Could save a lot of battery this way, don't really need the speed of 3g for background data syncing and stuff.
[LG Optimus 2x] withoutwings:
Heh thanks for the cross post there - saved me the job! :D

But yeah, if people could check their battery history in spare parts and report anything strange (especially sensor use or partial wake) that would be helpful!
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
No Problem :)

I'll check mine today as I get onshore.
[LG Optimus 2x] Artemon9:
new baseband

I installed the new baseband update 20110405.

I am now 35 hour 38 minutes and my battery is at 43%!
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
Can you report your exact settings?

- What ROM are you using?

- Are you using 3g (UMTS)?

- Are you using network-based location?

- Are you using sync of gmail/facebook/twitter/whatsapp/talk?
[LG Optimus 2x] Artemon9:
I'm on rooted, stock v10b.

I use 3G. network-based location, news and weather, gmail, and e-mail auto sync.

I talked about 40 minutes, I wrote 3 sms, and used about 20 minutes wifi internet.

I don't use facebook/twitter/whatsapp/talk.
[LG Optimus 2x] SweCrown:
I got a slight improvement with the new baseband. However cell standby is still causing massive battery drain. Together with phone inactive it almost make 70% of total battery use. Unacceptable.
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
Well, I flashed the new baseband today too (and the updated RIL ofc). Will see tomorrow if any changes to the battery drain.
[LG Optimus 2x] Triage1:
Sorry, but what is RIL again?

[LG Optimus 2x] xXZaufiXx:
hi guys... i still have the networkproblem with app '0' - im a little bit dissapointed, really good phone and now such f****** bugs :mad:

hope lg will fix this in the new update... or maybe paul will do it :D

btw.: no solution yet ?
[LG Optimus 2x] bryant_16:
I also have this app 'O', what is this actually?
[LG Optimus 2x] xXZaufiXx:
its a system app - some people say 3G is causing the battery drain...

but even if i turn it off and switch, i have the same drain (10 - 50mA)

strange... from time to time i have a "normal" battery drain (5mA) and that's for 3-4 hours - and then it turn into 50mA

lg should fix that :mad: :mad: :mad:
[LG Optimus 2x] kolaf:
This is the same thing I have.
[LG Optimus 2x] bachi2:
16.5h after power was unplugged, I still have around 40-45% of battery. Low usage (WiFi/3G on, a few calls, gTalk, but no email sync activated).

ROM: 10b

Usage: dl.dropbox.com/u/1337791/android/2011-04-07%2001.15.23.png

Being in places with a bad mobile network seems to consume considerably more battery when using 3G (that's why I've turned off background data sync, which helped quite a bit)
[LG Optimus 2x] Hitchi:
I also have these mA "jumps"from 2-50 mA during the standby. Anyone knows an app like battlog for wm which logs the running apps related to the power consumption. So we could analyse which app or service is responsible for. Even if I disable 3g I have these increases.
[LG Optimus 2x] xXZaufiXx:
i found something out... enable wifi and connect to yout network - then turn off the screen and wait - now i only got 5mA :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] KeePeeR26:
:( for me the problem was the Modaco Stock Performance Pack r2 :((

restore to stock and the drain is gone :mad: but now the phone lags 2 much :mad:

whait for CM7
[LG Optimus 2x] arielext:
back to stock (without any fix) and just installed all google apps with adb over the lg crapware; turned off usb debugging and standby is 2-5ma, no reboots yet though it's way to early too tell if it is a 'fix'.
[LG Optimus 2x] dzontra83:
Can you tell me how to install google aps to stock rom, where to get them from? Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] arielext:
What i did was rooting the phone and got ADB running (basic android stuff and howto's found all over XDA), then i downloaded the stock google pack from this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1019818 and pushed them to /system as described in that topic *without* removing the lg apps; i just hide them for now in go launcher ex.

Hope that helps!
[LG Optimus 2x] SweCrown:
Interessting tip! Please keep us posted how your battery life is doing after this.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
I just went back to stock, only rooted it and reinstalled my apps. Let's see how it compares.
[LG Optimus 2x] xXZaufiXx:
i'm sure that one of the lg apps causing the high battery drain

- is therer an app, which can show me the networktraffic of every single app ?

cause that would solve the problem...
[LG Optimus 2x] Pelide:
Try using Network TrafficStats by Solvation
[LG Optimus 2x] withoutwings:
Spare Parts --> Battery History
[LG Optimus 2x] xXZaufiXx:
omg - i allready knew that....

but under networkuse theres app '0' on top - a system apps causes the high battery drain :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
Has anyone reacted on the continuous monitoring of SD card contents ????

Every time I delete or modify contents on my SD card the phone scans for media files, maybe this is the reason for battery drain ?

I always thought it was the DLNA function in SmartShare, but today I deleted the SmartShare function and still there is the scanning/monitoring of the SD card..

Any comments ? Or suggestions to turn off this function ..
[LG Optimus 2x] arielext:
24+ hours now, no reboots or lockups; phone lagged a while but i "fixed" that by making the phone kill apps faster and keeping more memory free (auto killer memory manager in the market).

Going to pull the battery now to swap simcards so i can test this setup during working hours tomorrow. So far this has been the most stable setup!

Waketime ~ 15% (my dhd with cm7 is around 30%)

Standby drain ~ 7 ma (giving me ~ 40 hours on a single battery; but didn't test that out yet)

uptime and wake%:

standby drain (ye I was still asleep LOL; heavy night ;)):
[LG Optimus 2x] SweCrown:
I did download the Network Traffic Stats app as suggested, although I'm not sure it's working properly.

I says that in just 4,5 hours, the offical twitter app (I use that instead of LG:s, set to sync with contacts in my contact book, mentions and DM:s per 1 hour) uses 40MB -!- of data.

As comparision the gmail app and offical facebook app (aslo, not LG:s crap) uses less than 1mb together during the same time.

Makes me wonder: the Network Traffic Stats-app may displaying some total crazy stats, or something is really bugged out with the twitter- or contact app.

If true - no wonder 40MB background data makes the cell standby working hard and the battery to drain.

Will try another twitterapp and see what happens.
[LG Optimus 2x] SweCrown:
Thanks, looks promising!

Pardon for asking - the optimus 2x is my first android device, coming straight from iphone/ios - how do you get that detailed view / battery monitor?

Please keep us continuous posted how your battery is doing!
[LG Optimus 2x] arielext:
Small app called battery monitor widget; you can install it as widget or service; the service can monitor your battery without taking a spot on one of your homescreens but i like it more as widget. The app will read the diff. and write them to a file on your internal SD. to speak in ios terms: there is an app for that ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] arielext:
I took a look at my own screenshot a bit more and damn this device is acting up silly! as you can see sometimes the total left mV is actually going up between snapshots!

e.g.

11:08 -> 11:13 : 3813 mV -> 3806mV and then

11:13 -> 11:18 : 3806mV - > 3814mV

so at 11:18 I had more mV then at 11:08!

This could be due to faulty reading, a SW bug or bad reporting but it can't really help us getting straight results now can it?
[LG Optimus 2x] DarthD:
Thats normal difference is small and batterypower can be affected by temperature. nothing ti worry about as far as i know
[LG Optimus 2x] Renegade_Rulez:
DATA is the big battery drainer for me...

When I switch of DATA and only use wifi I get a normal drain of about 2-3% and also the memory does not leak like when DATA is on...
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
But I think only when there is bad reception, last night i had a drain of 2mV an hour on 3g when it was shutdown while I was sleeping for hours in a row. This is on complete stock with root and no sql or performance fixed applied and with the default radio image. I will try again tomorrow night with WiFi on to see what the drain during the night is.

And I am using network based location positioning, laditude, facebook sync, twitter sync, whatsapp, talk, gmail, calendar, picasa and have umts enabled. In other words, almost everything.
[LG Optimus 2x] DarthD:
Strange apps using massive network resources

Stock rom no root. if i tap it to see details i get a fc from settings
[LG Optimus 2x] Triage1:
Is the antenna maybe causing battery drainage?
[LG Optimus 2x] naimmkassim:
I still remember using my old Nokia 3310. Battery can last up to 1 week!!..oh, how technology pass by..the higher the tech, the higher power is required..the maker should started to focus on power development instead only on tech which meaning nothing if the basic (power) thing they ignore it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Grantzxr:
When i plugged in to grab this screen shot phone reported battery @57% note the time since unpluged :)
[LG Optimus 2x] kopchev:
Is it good?:)
[LG Optimus 2x] Grantzxr:
well i am quite happy with only 43% used in 20 hrs only realy change to phone is its in use 2g only mode.
[LG Optimus 2x] JJnJ:
Please tell me everything you use. I have that kind of battery after 4 hours...
[LG Optimus 2x] Grantzxr:
all of pauls patches inc the 405 baseband & the ril facebook e-mail and weather update every hour. car and f-sucure frozen with easy freezy. fancy widget clock and weather HTC style. and cell signal in 2g only mode.
[LG Optimus 2x] Zanr Zij:
SuperPower is for you. Find it on market or Android software development section of xda.
[LG Optimus 2x] xXZaufiXx:
don't know why - but after 2 days i got a real good result

my use today:

played ~ 2hours - display Brightness on about 75%

listened to music for 1,5 hours

used browser over wifi about 30minutes

all the time 3G and autosynch was on

and now i'm on 69% of my battery :) :) :)

like i sayed, i don't know why - got this amazing battery life since yesterday...

btw.: i use pauls FR12 and the kernel with patched drivers (really fast and smooth !!)
[LG Optimus 2x] bryant_16:
Wow.. how do you achieve that man??
[LG Optimus 2x] marco_ch:
Sorry, hard to believe... but glad for you.
[LG Optimus 2x] JJnJ:
Thanks, will try that. 2g is fine with me. Work, home, parents, everywhere i spent most time on wifi
[LG Optimus 2x] xXZaufiXx:
just flashed FR12, kernel with patched driver (EternityProject Kernel)

now i started, installed some apps - and charged the phone untill 100%, then go into clockworkmode and wiped dalvik chage and battery something - don't know the name(under advanced) and then boot yout phone and used it untill the battery is complettely empty, till it shut down

that's all i did and after this it works - maybe this was the reason, or something different, dont know ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] gtr-kir:
What baseband do you use?:)
[LG Optimus 2x] kefjeuh93:
still that's much. Mine does much longer. It only lost 2% over 8 hours with wifi on and bad reception all night long (in my room it often falls away) but i have set my CPU freq to 316mhz max when screens off maybe that does much.

but my 2g/3g was disabled.
[LG Optimus 2x] gtr-kir:
:eek:

What rom, kernel, baseband?!
[LG Optimus 2x] kefjeuh93:
Stock rom xD

kernel and baseband i don't know anymore because i just have installed Fear 5.3
[LG Optimus 2x] monoceres:
Upgrading to the latest baseband version from LG did not help for me at all.

arielext seems to be the only one with a definite fix (?), however I'm not really in the mood to flash my device. Interesting though the solution suggests one of the LG apps is responsible for this mess, maybe someone can help identify which one is the evil one? I'm going to track down every piece of LG crapware on my phone, that's for sure..

So far I have only stopped com.lge.sns, no success.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
just incase you dont know. lg clock/weather widget is a freaking battery hog. also f secure and car home as ive heard
[LG Optimus 2x] arielext:
I've froozen the following:

- car home (sensor hog)

- f-secure (everything hog)

- lg home (swapped for go launcher ex)

- backup (got titatium to do that)

- lg email (stock email suits my needs better)

- lg music (poweramp smashes everything)

And for me the phone is stable now; hope this helps some of you to figure out what is messing things up.
[LG Optimus 2x] Drakenhielm:
It‘s not the lg apps that cause the battery drain. I‘ve notice with spare part (app) that some apps sometimes locks in the background (programs keep runing even if you have closed them), so they prevent the phone from going in to idle.

Monster madness used my sensor all the time even if I hade closed it manually, an uppdate/news app about our phone was 100% in preventing the phone from idle. I unistalled them and my battey drain in idle was good again (1-3% in 8h)

So I think the problem lays in the multitasking system wich seems to not work property.
[LG Optimus 2x] kefjeuh93:
how do you freeze it ? with titanium backup ?
[LG Optimus 2x] DarthD:
Yes u can freeze with titanium backup
[LG Optimus 2x] kefjeuh93:
it really works very good. 1% after 4 hours even after little usage
[LG Optimus 2x] stevvie:
I must have bagged myself a super O2X. 71% battery left after nearly 23 hours, That's about 2 hours web surfing using miren and about 5 minutes phone call and received and replied to about 10 texts, Oh and a quick 10 minute or so game of fruit ninja.

I have Stock rom 10b on UK t-mobile,

baseband 1035.21_20110218

Kernal 2.6.32.9-dirty

I have most of the patches from (amazing)Paul

I have frozen almost all the LG stuff apart from the weather widget as that is on my homescreen using Launcher Pro
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Sounds like a decent unit. Mine on light workdays drops no lower than 70%, and on heavier workdays drops no lower than 60%. It gets recharged around 7pm. Have not seen sub-50% usage since I stopped "playing" with it in early Apr. Daily usage: Hourly auto email checks, some browsing, a bit of calendaring, about an hour phone calls and some SMSing.

I have a conservative set-up: Non-rooted. LG launcher. V10b updated. Only 1 live calendar widget on home screen, the rest are shortcuts. Installed switchpro widget and batterystatus on homescreen. 16GB SDcard filled with only music files (Sandisk, class 4). Doesn't heat up nor laggy. The only thing I must abide by is NOT to use my car charger, or else it gets a bit lock-uppity! Don't know why - it just is.
[LG Optimus 2x] LuPoM:
Having rooted the device and removed some "heavy" stuff like F-Secure, Car-Home, SNS, and using GO Launcher with widgets on (BW and simple calendar on first page, LG calendar on another) I usually make a whole day from 7 am to 10 pm considering that my office has close to none signal from my operator and that between appointments (which I synch with google calendar to check them on the phone) I use the phone to make calls and check the next appointments.

All that on the latest baseband on V10b, and I still haven't flashed any custom rom, will do soon ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] daveSH:
What works for me:

1. keep an eye on Maps App(s). I force close it(and other location-based apps which have similar icons) manually and it really affects the battery use.

2. The other Batt.-hungry App is the CarHomeService system. get ride of it as well

3. My other problem is that my room lacks of network coverage, so the poor phone must produce stronger signals and drain more battery. If you where in a place with no coverage, turn Flight-Mood on. It does help! I can't do this because there is a little coverage :)

4. You may already know this but I say it for those who don't: turn of GPS and both Location-recognition systems when you don't use it: Settings>Locations &...>Use wireless Networks and Use GPS satelites should be off

5. The other obvious option is display brightness. The phone's auto-brightness is not that optimal. I reduce the brightness manually.

With these settings. I have at least a 26 hours of "standby" which is enough for me as a commuter. I read books, use the Internet and play 3D games on my way, and of course charge the phone before leaving for long trips.

My o2x is not rooted and I have lot's of apps installed on it. The main Strategy is get ride of anything you don't use right now manually and "do what thou wilt".
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Adding to daveSH post on saving battery;

I think what also worked for me is that I ditched all the widgets on the homescreens that update themselves regularly. I only have an updating calendar widget sync to my phone calendar - the rest are just shortcuts.

But counter to daveSH's and most people's advise here, I find that LG's bloatwares to be quite well-behaved and don't chew up much CPU cycles. My phone is not rooted and LG's bloatwares are all intact. Have been monitoring using "Watchdog lite" The bloatwares just occupy RAM, mostly as background processes. And they don't seem to give any grief giving up their RAMs when other foreground tasks need it.

With screen-awake idle, I typically get less than 4% cpu usage. And sleep standby loses about 1% to 2% battery every hour, though I am not sure of linearity below 50%.

Damn weird phones, these. They range from early alpha to mature release behaviours. Sometimes, on the same phone!
[LG Optimus 2x] StardustOne:
I had my LG since 3 days now, it never survived a day with one charge. Example: fully charged it over night, then I used it to send a few SMS, a 3 minute call, about 30 minutes of playing around with it, another few SMS and the battery was dead 8 hours later. I did not even play Angry Birds nor did I use the WiFi. Bluetooth is always off, too.

I appreciate all your efforts in diagnosing the cause for all this battery drain, although this does not solve the issue. It is outrageous how LG could even consider to launch that product. It is unfinished work, no matter how many updates they may launch, the hardware may be stellar, but what LG did is just a joke.

I came from the HTC HD2 running Android from the SD card and even that phone did survive a day without recharging.

LG should put their act together or they should stop selling this phone. Running the phone with EDGE, fine, but I bought a 3G phone. And even a smart phone should last for a day without applying tricks and installing custom ROMs.

As people try to fix this, nothing will change. I am asking my retailer for a refund, because I don't want to carry around a flashy looking phone that drains the battery in standby.

Shame on LG for this crappy build they put on this marvelous phone. I am using the stock V10C version and I have exactly the same issues as all of you. Even though I could install a custom ROM, I don't think I should, I did not pay all the money to troubleshoot LG's faults. It is their phone, they should fix it.
