Why its stupid??? Thats why is called factory reset... :D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] enkelad:
I thought that galaxy s3 and 4x had relatively similar specs but battery test from gsmarena shows almost double shorter life of 4x. So it is average at best. It seems i have to get razr maxx though it`s my least favourite choice. I`m just sick of overall poor android battery life but i like os :-[
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Mr.Mischief:
The Razr Maxx isn't bad. The screen is a little small and lower res than the 4X.

But, get this:

No if you do factory reset on GB devices you dont lose your photoss etc in your int store. But in ics factory reset will remove them too. I had to copy 5GB of videos captured on my phone from my internal to SD to do factort reset.

So imagine someone having used up all the internal space. :eek:

Just check your settings, turn OFF the "data use" (uso de dados) and set the wi-fi to "Never when asleep" (Manter o wi-fi ligado - Nunca (aumenta o uso de dados))

Try that and let us know ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
How do you guys manage to have only less then 20% on "andoid OS" in battetry usage????

I have like 47% !!

i did factoy reset after updatingo to 10f... Am i doing something wrong? (im not rooted)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Soo... once that you're not ROOTed, means that all the factory apps are running, even in background.

Maybe if you frost some of them you get some battery improvement.

Thanks, Rueda. I thought that rooting was causing battery issues in some people... draining faster, thats why i didnt want to do it.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
After ROOT you need to uninstall the app that allow you to have ROOT, probably you already saw something about that.

Don't forget that after ROOT its better to perform a "factory reset".

After that go to SU app and open it, update the binary and go to googleplay to update SU.

The rest its up to you, choose what apps you want to keep or not, soo, if you don't want to use them, there is no need to update them on the store.

To uninstall or freeze the stock apps I advice "Root Uninstaller Pro", you'll find it in the GoogleStore.

To remove publicity from the apps, use Lucky Patcher.

In order to manage better the files (those that you can't see with Polaris) use "AntTek Explorer", also in the store.

Good luck and good work on that :good:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] smoke2:
What is better to use?

SuperSU or Superuser?

^this isn't heavy use, obviously. But there's some spotify playing locally pretty often (the blips), a few sms' and a few short calls in here. Pretty happy about this, really. Did not expect it to last longer than my old phone. ..specially after the reviews that say the battery is weak.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] bobby38:
Does it really says "11 days" ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UIQrules:
Yes. 11 days until the yellow bar. :D

But you have to uninstall some of the LG apps (I don't have root - just go through the installed program list), and avoid using widgets that prevent the phone from idling. The standard weather/clock app keeps the phone busy when it shouldn't, for example.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] bobby38:
But with what kind of use ?

Did you play games ? Browse internet (wifi or data) ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] giovandrea:
Really? So I have to set another widget for the weather/clock?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] UIQrules:
Mm. ..Fancy Widgets, for example..? Was a bit surprised when I found out. Looked at the processor states before and after removing a few apps, and... oops, suddenly half rate and idle. The phone won't do that on factory default setup.. Pretty funny, really. But not unexpected that stuff like that happens..

@bobby: no, almost no use. It's so little compared to the standby drain it doesn't even show up on the list.. No wifi, was carefuly to close apps, that sort of thing. Shows how well the companion core thing actually works, though. Can work..
[LG Optimus 4X HD] giovandrea:
I can't frost some of these apps with the app manager. Have I to use Titanum Backup to frost them?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] UIQrules:
Yeah. Had one installed... 5 stars on the store.. it had two different sync threads running that constantly ran updates for the weather, location data, that sort of thing. That was bad enough. And then when I turned off data-traffic (which I always do, since service providers charge for the kbits like it's a rare unrenewable mineral of some sort), the app just wouldn't idle.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
I uninstalled the weather widget that came with the phone, but i liked it, so i installed the yahoo weather widget and disabled the sync on settings, and let it to update itself only every 4 hours. Its not draining my battery at all.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] saptemai:
in addition to removing/freezing that looong list of irrelevant apps, i also recommend you use a little known app called

autostarts and fiddle with the event bindings there, saves alot of processing time in the long run.

with my regular usage (some texting, light browsing, a few calls, etc, light usage at best, brightness at 30%, 3g enabled only when i need data) i get similar battery out of my o4x at about 10% drain/day.

Hello , i have battery problem too, i bought this phone yesterday .

it has updated software but its still V10c :eek: , what should i do ?

Android System consuming my battery is that normal ?

i wanted to add a pic. but xda isnt allowed me because of 10 post , i am writing Battery use detail..

Android System 44%

Cell standby 19%

Wi-fi 12%

Phone idle %11

Screen 10%

Android OS 2%

Isn't that weird android system(44%) ?

No, its the same to me. Improved a little bit deleting some apps. But if you want more, you can root and delete more programs, search in the forum.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] math5:

This is the forth charge of my phone. After full charge, I lost 10% of my battery in one hour, even i did nothing. Is this normal? Have you got this situation or something wrong on my phone ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UIQrules:
No, it's just the standard program package. There should be a icon in the application menu for "application management", or something like that. Open it and uninstall the smartworld and the today+ app.

Other things that will extend the phone an extra day very easily is to turn off 3g if you don't need it, or use data-traffic, etc. Also turn off data-traffic, as well as wifi, when you're not using that.

There are a lot of very strange apps pre-installed on the phone, though.. Lots of processes that might prevent the phone from idling, that sort of thing.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Gildegan:
I´d had a Samsung Galaxy S i9000, Sammy didnt updated up to 2.3.6 so i installed ICS custom roms.

The first roms, any of them, was on 4.0.3 and all of them have a Android OS usage higher than all usages, making the battery to drain fast.

When the roms changed to 4.0.4 the Android OS usage reduced considerable and the mods stated that it was a bug of that version.

This means that, while we are on 4.0.3, we will have the andoid os usage high compared to other roms
[LG Optimus 4X HD] giovandrea:
I've installed autostarts and I've blocked some apps (specifically all LG apps that I didnt use). But the battery use is the same as before. Sometimes, it gets down of 2% (!!)

ja, that's true :) ... i stil have the SGS at the moment, but I am planning to get a 4x with a contract !! first ICS roms had that bug, but the latest JB is a lot better !!! so you just have to wait a little (or try using batter saving apps like juice defender):angel:

I dont have my phone rooted and im still on v10a, so this apps are only disabled (not freezed),I dont know if i must root to unninstall them or remove more apps, even bcz im using try and error disabling apps, but this method worked to reduce the Android OS usage.

Now i´m very sure that the battery drains when im playing heavy games (i.e. Eternity Warriors uses like 10% battery in 10 minutes :eek: ) so im thinking if i download an app like Quadgearbox to shut down some cores to have more battery life, or upgrading to v10f that improves the warm up and the Quad processors, I must try...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] bobby38:
First of all, update to V10F for a lot of battery improvements

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Arne_B:
I got 24 hours out of my battery and it was at 25% at that moment. I browsed allot during that time, installed apps, ...

The battery only got a few load cycles so it still has to get in shape.

I use pretty aggressive underclocking settings with CPUTuner.

Also I have the V10F stock firmware but added the different Tegra 3 apk. And froze a few of the stock apps, also edited some app services so they don't start at boot-up.

I can say that my battery life is very good. When the screen is off it loses only 3% or so over the night (6 hours).

In my case a good CPUTuner profile makes the biggest difference, so I can recommend you guys to use it also.

The Tegra 3 power management apk works particularly well, in my case, to save battery when GPS, Wifi, 3D apps, ... are running.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] profyler:
i also loose very few % over the night, but only if i have no wifi set at always neither network data.... what kills the battery in this phone are the conections (wifi, data plan), if u put that off, you will have a gr8 battery life

I have a problem. Stand by my battery is ok, but when i am using something, like Facebook, Email, or someting with my screen on, my battery drains really fast. I dont know what t do, cause i tryed 2 methods, but i could not root my cell phone...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
@AG22... you'll be first one unable to root the phone.

You're missing something in the process and thats why you can't root it.

The best method is the first one, with the "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk".

I think that I already told you:

1st - Downgrade to V10A for example

2nd - Factory Reset

3rd - Upgrade to V10F

4th - Install the "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk"

5th - Reboot, run the "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed" app and ROOT, follow the tutorial

(later I'll upload a video "how to", first I need to do it...)

6th - Factory Reset.

You have some file messing with that app and untill you make it disappear you won't be able to run it like it should.

The only way is with factory resets and flashes...

Wish you luck, hope one of this days see your post sying that you have root ;)

Regards
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AG22:
Hi Ruedas!

One more time, i apreciate your help. I tryed factory reset, but the app error keeps appearing.

What do you think about that:

1- Update to some 10F european version

2- Factory reset

3- Root

4- Downgrade to 10C brazilian version

5- Factory Reset

Is that a good idea ?

Of course, if one day i have done root, i will be posting here.

Best regards,

Arthur Garcia
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
First downgrade! You have V10A to Brasil for that.

After factory reset to exclude all files that don't belong to that version, like that you'll keep only V10A files .

Upgrade to V10C, if thats the one that you want, will overwrite V10A files.

Now almost for sure that you can performe the ROOT method without problems (the first method)

After ROOT, factory reset again to clean all possible unwanted files from root procedure.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AG22:
Ok, i will downgrade do Brazil 10A version, then factory reset.

So i will upgrade to 10C, factory reset, then i will try to root. If i can finish the root process, i will factory reset again.

My battery now is 75%, i guess i will wait till tomorrow, cause every time that i connect the phone to the computer, it charges... And when it starts, i have to wait it finishes. I dont like to charge the phone every time.

Did i write right all the process that you said ?

Problem with automatic mobile data switching

I've here two p880. Currently one has v10c and the other v10f.

After 5 battery-cycles the idle life-time looks ok.

My problem is that I need notifications of new mails at least every hour. And my network operator doesn't offer 2G just 3G&HSDP.

So I have to use und switch on 3G mobile data all the time.

Beside the resulting battery problem I feel really impaired and observed with the unwanted "feature" - "mobile data" is switch on all the time. IMHO a very strange system design.

On my old devices (Moto-Defy-CM7) I’m using <Tasker> to switch on "mobile data" if the screen is on (or triggered by selected Apps) otherwise "mobile data" is off. And every hour <Tasker> activates it for one minute - this does work perfectly.

Unhappily this task does not perform on the p880.

Problem 1: Using the <Tasker> function "switch mobile data" lights up the display. (is this a bug or a feature?)

Problem 2: After about 30seconds off standby the <Tasker> function "switch mobile data" doesn't perform at all. (however the task performs correctly as can be seen in the log file)

1) I've tried the <Tasker>-Plugin <APNDroid> to switch the mobile data settings: Problem 1 solved; Problem 2 remains.

2) I've tried the <Tasker>-Plugin "Secure Settings" to wake up the phone before performing the "switch mobile data" function.

This lights up the display (because CPU wake-up only does not work) and performs very unreliable.

And the "Secure Settings" "switch mobile data" function does not perform better than the other ones.

3) I've tried <Juice Defender> - This App would offer exactly what I need - it seams that I'm not alone with my requirements. But "switch mobile data" lights up the screen again. Juice Defender offers a "APN method" to switch the "mobile data", but it does not work for my p880.

4) I've tried other Battery Saver Apps (as <Go Power> and <Easy Battery Saver>) - not worth to test them.

What else can I try?

Maybe a could

-	forward my mails to SMS? LOL

-	or I use my Defy-CM7 for work and the p880 to admire the big display?

-	or change my network operator? => pay twice and surf much slower

After one week of trying I’m really frustrated. Maybe the p880 was the wrong device for me.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Arne_B:
I have the exact same type of problem with my phone. I use CPUTuner for this, and only if I use a pulse (data on/off) with a delay before the first off pulse occurs the screen won't go on again. Also see my thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1997927

CPUTuner works well for me for this kind of operation.

I haven't yet heard of an APN function, what does this do? I can't find any option like that in CPUTuner, so unfortunately that won't solve this problem.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Namor Noditz:
Thank you for the hint!

But CPUTuner has no scheduler as far as I know. Is a scheduler not relevant for you?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Arne_B:
No I don't use a scheduler. I tried that once but it was nothing for me. I don't like it that my phone starts to behave differently depending on the time or type of the day. Just different profiles for battery level and phone state is perfect for me.

Edit: CPUTuner does seem to have a scheduler in the Settings ;)

Re-calibrate your battery.

Personally, I'm now satisfied with my 4X battery life. I charged it 1d10hrs ago, and I got it to 2% today in the afternoon, with ~4.30h of screen usage at 40% with wifi on for ~3hrs, gaming with Real racing 3, Fruit Slicer, Bladeslinger, facebook chatting, browsing, restoring apps with Titanium Backup and moving large files between external and internal memory. All this time, I had installed and running Atom Launcher, WidgetLocker, Advanced Task Manager Pro, Go Weather EX Premium, Maillist widget for K9-Mail, Evernote Widget, One Power Guard with CPU max freq. at 800mhz, SpeakerBoost and Sidebar Pro. All in all, quite a handful of background processes and I reached a new milestone in battery longevity with no noticeable drop in performance or launcher smoothness!

Just re-watched Megamind on my 4X starting from 100% battery, skipping some parts so the total play time was ~1 hour. Battery went down to 80%, so it's safe to say it can handle about ~4+ hours of video (my Megamind copy was 1080p H264 with AC3 sound, sized about ~2.2GB)

Calibration by wiping battery stats is a placebo, the only way to calibrate is by sticking to full charge cycles, full to empty. After a few weeks of doing this my battery got pretty good, even on 10d which most have said is rubbish.

Yes 3G is disabled like some other apps: Application manager, email widget, face unlock, finance, google search, google+, internet, maps, music player, social+, talk, wap service, weather. Also not using data, cause i use WiFi when needed. So the most strange part is that after charging my phone (yesterday) the battery drained from 100 to 90 percent in 2 hours without using it-brightness 0%.

Today i used it..most of it for calls and battery drained just for 20 percent. The brightness was set to 35%. I also tryed the Gemini app manager, maybe thats why the drain stoped a bit.
