Double wattusage

This is common, I too have experienced this.

I am trying to research the issue.

I got worse batterylife after the pre-update for Mango, where they altered the speech quality and touch sensitivity on the phone. I am assuming this is related to the radio in the phone, so I've ordered a new SIM card to rule out my dated SIM card for the phone.

If you search twitter for mango and battery, you will see that 50% of posts quote better batterylife with mango, so I'm assuming this is a firmware issue from LG, and not a mango issue.

Anyhow, early tests showed E900 using 1,3watts to playback a video, while the iPhone4 used 0,7...

Also the iPhone4 manages 40 hours of music playback. I'm lucky if I get 7-8, might be due to three different apps showing up in the app-switcher when playing a podcast. The music hub start screen, the podcast list and the podcast itself. Should be just one instance...

Will post back later.

Reset your phone

By factory resetting after Mango installation I went from 0 days and 12 hours standby time, to 1 day and 16 hours.

So there is something messed up in the Mango deployment that causes batterylife to be cut in half. To bad.
[Optimus 7 General] Andriics:
The same thing

So you recommend. To factory reset or reflash and than install Mango again, don't you?
[Optimus 7 General] sonus:
Can anyone confirm a factory reset has resulted in increased battery life as well?
[Optimus 7 General] mrTablet:
It worked for me.
[Optimus 7 General] Etaduck:
I just tried it two days ago, it seems better, but this will be the first day without having a charger handy. So, I'll post later if it actually helped.

On the bright side, setting up the phone again was a snap. Reloading the programs was the slow part, because you had to navigate from the "receant purchases" on your account to find the programs you had installed.
[Optimus 7 General] Andriics:
Not for me.

I've even reflashed from StarHub to European Open today.

Nothing changed.

I'll check tomorrow if something will change.
[Optimus 7 General] johagster:
What is your batterytime in batterysaver when fully charged? When going to google mobile search, do you get the featurephone edition or the touch friendly for advanced phones? If you change the language for typing does it work or does you keyboard stay the same? These are all errors I had before.

I waited for my official Vodafone mango deployment, and after it was installed I 100% reset my phone in settings dialogue. No funky xda installhax0r stuff.
[Optimus 7 General] sonus:
I have none of the other issues you descirbed... just the battery life issue. If either changing push email etc doesn't make things better, or I see a few more people saying that a reset helped them, I may go the reset route. Hopefully that doesn't need to happen... seeing as I chose WP7 and not Android so that I could avoid issues like this.
[Optimus 7 General] ZeppeMan:
After a factory reset it seems that my battery drain is back to normal. So, for me it worked :)
[Optimus 7 General] iliaspap82:
Is there a big difference after the factory reset? Does it worth to try?
[Optimus 7 General] chaitanya91845:
I am facing this battery drain issue too. Battery falls down by 14% overnight in standby without data connection or WiFi. Factory reset didn't solve the problem. Any solution?
[Optimus 7 General] XxAndrexX:
I had big battery drain problems after mango. now it seems to be more stable. anyways, I think it might have been some kind of program, running under nodo intructions, like facebook, maybe some compatibility issues, I dont know, I only know that after updating all the programs I have to the oficial mango version, battery is doing better. not a lot better, still crap, but better than before!
[Optimus 7 General] Gampanat:
The factory reset thingy worked for me as well :), now I got about 2 days of battery instead of a half day :D
[Optimus 7 General] panosss567:
I have about a week if i use it as a phone only and one day if i use everything.
[Optimus 7 General] aptcore:
Two days of battery keeping 3G data connection ON all the time? Or only when needed?
[Optimus 7 General] garmin2:
The factory reset worked for me!!!! Lg optimus E900h.

Thanks for the trick
[Optimus 7 General] elektryk:
I have tried to factory reset phone. First day after unpluging from charger, it shows 1 day 3 hours, after aprox 12 hours it shows 13 hours. Next day battery time returns to previous value aprox 18-19 hours after fully charged.

IMHO factory reset only resets configuration values from chip or procedure which estimates battery level, so sooner or later battery time will return to previous (real) level.
[Optimus 7 General] volmar:
Excuse me for the noob question:

do you lose anything doing the factory reset? SMS?

For factory reset you mean the reset in the settings panel or the pression of volume up and down + camera + power?

Thank you

EDIT: Done it with the pression of volume up and down + camera + power and the fake zune backup method... Today I'll see if it works.
[Optimus 7 General] MikeWalsh:
I've done the reset from the button inside about windows phone 7

I've done the reset from holding down the vol up + down + camera + power button

I've upgraded via zune

But I still lose about 50% of my phone battery overnight with the phone being completely idle.

Wifi turned off

No cellular data enabled

Bluetooth turned off

Not being used

OS version 7.10.7740.16

firmware: 1.0.16.10

Radio software: 1.0.16.10

Radio hardware: 0.3.5.0

Bootloader: 1.5.1.0

Any ideas?
[Optimus 7 General] radu_brd00:
i have the same specs except firmware and radio where mine are 10.0.10.10 not 10.0.16.10 and after reset i get about 17-18 hours of use full charge with 3g data always on + wifi at home + facebook and twitter and yahoo mail and gmail set to update every 5 minutes or instantly ( in the case of gmail ) + weather updates every 30 minutes ....
[Optimus 7 General] MikeWalsh:
I'm losing 1% every 12 minutes from a fully charged battery with no apps running, no live tiles, no email polling, 3g is turned off, data is turned off, bluetooth turned off, wifi turned off. No usage at all in that time.

When I turn on flight mode, this stops and the battery lasts a long time but that's no good as a phone.

Can anyone offer any suggestions for what to try, or to diagnose what's consuming all the battery?

Thanks!
[Optimus 7 General] volmar:
It seems a serious defect... Send it back to LG's warranty service.
[Optimus 7 General] radu_brd00:
Try to flash another rom with different radio maybe that will do the trick ....

All that i have seen here, seems like a battery defect and i would go to warranty service without any firmware resets etc....
[Optimus 7 General] elektryk:
Are you almost always in one area? It may be the problem with network range or multiple network base in your area has similar signal strenght and phone is constantly switching between them.
[Optimus 7 General] yonelwiner:
I got the same problem. Phone, LG E900, is only 2 weeks since I bought it. Battery thing really annoys me, for example: 11 pm , remove it from the charger, ... morning at 5 am, 60% remains. How is it possible ... I regularly charged, I tried to return to factory settings, I re-flashed it.. Since I bought it, I made update directly to mango, so I don't know how stay with battery in previously version of software. What I can do ?

Thanks for replies !
[Optimus 7 General] elektryk:
Update on my phone battery life.

Currently I am in USA for 3 weeks visit. I have to switch off any data transmision because of horrible prices over roaming. Now I use only WiFi for internet. Of course use phone for calling was also limited.

Battery life for my phone has dramatically (in good meaning) changed. At the moment my phone says it was working on battery 3days 4 hours, and it still have 32% of battery which should last for 10 hours. I have five suspicions:

1. data transmission and keeping connection eats much power, even when there is no data to sent (I set gmail synchronisation for every hour and does not use any social network synchronisation)

2. BTSes in USA have better sensivity (so phone does not need so much power to communicate with them)

3. BTSes in USA are not so dense as in Europe, so device does not switch between them so frequent

4. Cellurar network are more stable than in Europe, so device does not need to reconnect to them frequent

5. My operator in Poland, does not have signal coverage in many area, and so something like roaming is used to provide network coverage and phone frequetly changes network.
[Optimus 7 General] aptcore:
3G does eat a LOT of battery. If I turn it on (I have HDSPA in my area) and turn battery saver off, I will lose 2% of charge every 15 mins. However, if I turn 3G off and leave connection on EDGE battery lasts like when data connection is off.

[Optimus 7 General] Saio_:
do you know if in the next upgrade there is something for improve the battery life, like the recently upgrade for lumia 800? thanks
[Optimus 7 General] xaocot:
i think it's whatsapp

uninstalled a bunch of apps from my phone after being pretty annoyed by the short battery life. one of those apps was whatsapp. i found that somewhere on a forum. getting a lot more battery juice now... try it, worst thing you will have to reinstall it.
[Optimus 7 General] Barney909:
All superphones I have used eat batteries fast.

To overcome this I turn off all features not in use as this is the best way to lengthen battery life.

Suggestions for what to disable... bluetooth, gps, data conncection...

Also watch for apps that are constantly wanting to connect.. change their setting to manual update / sync if possible.

Some bad apps do not have this option.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi all,

I have a Samsung focus, 1.3 rev, and I am still waiting for the official update. I have already tried the check update trick by disabling the internet connection and Zune was able to find the mango update ready.

So is it ok to update the device via that method? I have many important stuff in my mobile, mainly SMSs, and i don't want to them to be deleted by official post-mango updates if i use this hack (much like the Walshed fix for forcing mango update via his utility)

Hi,

Anyone knows how to sync the HTC Desire with outlook Imap calendar?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sJohnV:
My company won't let me directly access my Outlook Calendar via a push, so there are 2 ways that you can do this. One is by sync'ing through the HTC Sync program with your Desire USB plugged in. The second, and my favorite, is to download Google Calendar Sync to your PC, let it 2 way sync with your Outlook calendar and your online Google Calendar, then your Desire can sync with your online Google calendar. The second method allows for 2 way syncing that keeps 3 calendars always in sync.

Ok I want to use the extended settings but idk if it works with the evo... and is there any i can tell which rom i'm on ? my build # is 108050... since i need to make sure that i have the correct files to flash...
[Android Themes] Antennas:
You're probably best off waiting for Andy, the dev of ES, to return as it hasn't been updated for the current release of miui.

Regardless of that though, the releases of ES generally match up with the most recent version of miui. 1.9.30 is the current miui release, so if it existed you would be flashing the 1.9.30 ES release. (the number matches up with the date, i.e. next one will be 1.10.7)

It /should/ work on all devices, but there have been errors with certain phones consistently over a release. Just make sure you have a recovery available at all times.
[Android Themes] ilovechi23:
ok.. .so where can i find the 1.9.30 build? because im on an older build...

[Xperia Play General] pelly_jelly:
this is starting to get absurd.

At first i thought that it was just Expansys who went crazy and lowered the price THAT much, i figured they made a mistake ordering hundreds of the device and couldn't sell them so had to resort to drop to ridiculous prices or whatever the heck can happen when an (non)internet shop make mistakes.

But now it's like 3-4 other internet shops are going for more or less that price, never heard before of a 500 euro smartphone sold by so many shops at less than half price like this.

Nothing just happen without a reason, there's always at last 1 reason why this phone got his price slashed like this, and thinking about it, ok it didn't sold THAT much but it had some kind of a cult following... and being honest, this handset has practically the same hardware as the Arc, beside the exmor-whatever camera, but not only that, just check at whatever other android phone of more or less 200 euros, the Play clearly is way, way better than them...

Again, i wonder what's the meaning behind this insane price cut.

I'm currently an X10 user and i love it, but being a huge retro-gaming geek, i'm selling it for 180 euros (and friends of mine says it's cheap) and bought a 240 euro Xperia play waiting for it to arrive (damned expansys delayed shipping to next week).

Hope i did the right thing and this SEXplay will not crumble and turn into dust in the first 5 days of usage or sad things like that.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
i don't know but i bought my phone May this year for 5000HKD (around 650USD) and now that it is released in my country they sell it for around 450USD at Sony Ericsson concept shops. i don't know the reason for the very low price but heck isn't that great?:D

i still go for the reason that it didn't sell well that's why they're selling it for a very low price.. besides, they need consumers to buy it fast because of the imminent release of the PlayStation Suite which will further increase their sales..
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Well, most of the good games are just boring Gameloft ports.

The SexPlay is a great phone, with basically zero exclusive software support for it.

If you buy this phone for anything else other than emulation, you are basically wasting your time imho.
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
Like you did?

I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
I didnt buy it for anything else other than emulation whilst being bored at work. (I use it as my main phone too ofc).

The free EA games are boring imo. As are most Gameloft games. The only other game i REALLY enjoy is the online texas poker.

The DPad is really nice to use whilst browsing the internet. The analog joysticks are not for me, i personally dont enjoy using them.

The reason why im mostly disapointed with the SexPlay is because there is no MAME emulator that has working save states. Without save states, mame is useless to me at work.

So yea, i have had a good time with the SexPlay, but im now of the opinion that i wont be buying another game phone. Especially not now that i have just bought a brand new laptop and can play proper mame at work on a nice big 17.5 inch screen with my xbox control pad.

:D

I do wish the SexPlay continued success though, its just that it has outlived my pocket and i am eagerly awaiting my next phone upgrade. Glad that i only got an 18 month contract because it runs out in less than a year now.

Ive also had lots of prpoblems with my SexPlay -

1) Poor signal

2) No data signal

3) Volume button fell out

4) Back button doesnt work properly

5) Right shoulder button gone loose

6) Touchscreen goes dowhaddle whack crazy at times

7) Accelerometer doesnt work properly, steers to the left all the time

8) Compass doesnt work properly

And above all........I found out here in Britain we have a network called GiffGaff that runs off the O2 network, and for £10 / month on a PAYG deal you get TRULY unlimited data at "H" speeds.

I bought this simcard to see how it performs, and lets just say i have used close to 50gig this month leaving torrents downloading on my phone...............(wished id never even bought a contract, GiffGaff prices are probably the best in the World).
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
For me, poor signal and dead signal were cured in 2.3.4 update.

Apparently there is going to be a Playstation store available for all ps certified devices. And they decided to drop the price so they could make a killing on apps i'm guessing :P
[Xperia Play General] White_Pointer:
You mean until the Playstation Suite launches. I'm quite excited about how that's going to change things. Main reason I decided to go for the XPlay. That and the promise of more PS1 and possibly PSP titles on the way. But the future is looking good for the Xplay if the PS Suite does what Sony says it will.

There's also plenty of good non-gameloft games on the market that have been optimised for the XPlay already.
[Xperia Play General] TLRtheory:
Am I the only one who likes Xperia PLAY for Xperia PLAY games?

I love my classics, and like to be a nostalgia drunken at times... but for the most part, playing something that actually takes advantage of the hardware (especially that big, beautiful 854x480 screen) is much more appealing than some game I've already played that will either be dis-proportioned, or letterboxed.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:

I am thinking of getting this as an early upgrade for one of my lines.

If it comes with 2.3.4 installed allready, will I be able to root it?

I just got a DInc II and rooted it the Friday before the 2.3.4 update was forcefeeding around.

LUCKY.

This looks like a great emulator unit.

I hope this price sticks....
[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
These price cuts make me a bit sad like.

I mean, I knew it would come...but it is kinda soon.

I paid £280 for my XPlay, now I can get it for between £180-£200 from very reputable dealers.

Sad.

That being said...yeah, the phone isn't perfect but I do love it.

I like the occasional 'new' game but most are really shallow (looking at you GameLoft), so I stick with what I got the phone for...the thousands of game available emulated.

Emulation has always been and always be my favourite thing, that's why this phone is perfect for me despite the obvious flaws.
