Kind of random, but to those who are looking to save your battery life. Just run in 2G mode until you need the speed. Somehow, I have been unplugged for 5 hours and am at 90%. Normally, I'm at 40 by now. It was either that I installed Sidekick (doubtful), or the fact that I forgot to turn the phone back to 4G when I lost service last night
Just thought I would share, I got excited to see my battery isn't draining like a fat kid finishing off cake that I had to share (the info, not the cake)
Have you tried flashing your kernel? I leave my 4g and wifi on all day and I still had 97% left after I got off work and the phone being unplugged for 10 hours. I surfed for a bit and downloaded a few apps at work too. I'm running ultimate glacier with the smartass kernel running overclocked at 1843mhz.

What is your Min/Max on SetCpu?
yea seriously man the 4G i have at my place only has 1 bar 99% of the time and i still only chew through 10% while sleeping through the night....
I only have edge at my house, but when i goto work i get 3g/H but i just leave it on edge...ill only turn it on if i need utube or to download something.
So I'm running inspired ace and I haven't noticed any problems until now. I noticed that after each
Charge my battery life is getting shorter and shorter. For instance when I first flashed the Rom,I got 26 hours off one charge with moderate use. Over the past 2 weeks its dropped from that and now,I pulled it off charger 7 hours ago and my battery is at 15%. The battery use is showing that the only thing eating a good piece of the battery is the display,and its only eating 42%. Is there something I'm missing? Is this a known issue discussed before? Is there another stock feeling sense Rom with GREAT battery life? Thanks in advance for any help

What is your screen on time for those 7 hours- not %, actual time. Click on display it will tell you the time. Its probably not a bug at all- your display was probably on for a long time; which is #1battery killer.

I haven't noticed that, running the same ROM solid since it was released.
Did you clear your battery stats upon flashing? How long have you been running the ROM? Have you installed any new apps since flashing? Have you been keeping an eye on any apps to see what's running as a service/using an abnormal amount of cpu?
Incidentally, I just got done logging 5h 45m screen-on time from unplug to low battery nag. No incoming/outgoing calls, gps off, WiFi on.
This is the highest I've gotten, and I really don't expect to see much more than that without messing with cpu settings and/or going to an AOSP ROM like...... GingerBeast.

I'm not sure to tell the truth. Im no newb when it comes to flashing,and have been able to sort out my own problems until here. But one thing I've never gotten into is seeing what is actually using the battery or CPU. So I don't know any apps or what it would take to do that. Also,I couldn't use adb because for some reason,it doesent play nice with my 2 Windows 7 ultimate computers lol. I want sense,I have to have it because it was my deal braker between the inspire and atrix. But if worse comes to worse,I guess ill have to do away with it,and get gingerbeast

What I've found, and what others in-the-know have said, is that a lot of these unexplained headaches can be caused by apps.
When my phone starts doing weird ****, with everything else being constant, no ROM changing, etc., I start clearing app data, cache, and if necessary, new apps themselves, until hopefully the problem goes away.
That's why I've personally taken it REAL slow with ROM flashing, for example. I want to know what works right with what, and I can't stand shooting in the dark when in comes to figuring out the source of a problem.
FWIW

so this wonderful phone we all have is a little... Buggy... I was one of those lucky people who wasn't having any issues with their phones now all of a sudden it gets a little laggy and the screen well shut off and not come back on (sometimes if I hit the power button repeatedly it will come back)... It kinda upsets me because I thought I had a good one... It was running fine after root, and after NVflash... It was after I started different kernels and roms that I had issues... Now I am running rooted stock with no other add ons and I am still having issues...
Question time.
Sounds like I am having the same issues as a lot of other people. True?
Should I get a replacement (sounds like a lot of the replacements are duds too) or just wait to see what the update brings?
I love this phone... I don't need perfect, just stable...

Check my thread here, will give you an idea of how widespread the problems are: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107660
Same exact thing happened to me. One minute it was a perfect little baby, and next thing you know the booger starts acting up.
I was happy in the beginning when it gave me an awesome experience and was wondering why people are complaining about such an awesome device, then it struck me out of nowhere and began rebooting like crazy.
I want to ride this beast to the bitter end... I am hoping that the end is MUCH further down the road... so as far as we know, the "update" will be fixing most o these issues... i guess I am going to hold off on the replacement... seems like those have the same issues too...
And now the battery is heating up like crazy... I don't like this! Why it's this happening?

That happened on my old G2x, the new one doesn't heat up abnormally, but it does have more light leakage that is obviously noticeable. Gonna get another one when they receive the old one.
I have had a few random reboots, but thats about it. I think it was my fault for screwing around with faux's undervolt kernel lol.

Ill leave my WiFi off all day tomorrow, then post a screenshot of my battery statistics (not the ones provided by Android) but more accurate ones from a app called "Battery Monitor" that gives a break down of use and what you had enabled. I don't want you to think I'm a liar or anything. I guess you could call me lucky but I have had nothing but good experiences so far. I haven't had any reboots, no lag, no freezing and great battery life. Probably better battery life than any other Android device Iv'e ever used. I take my phone off the charger at 7AM and don't return it until 9PM. Throughout the day I am making phone calls, sending texts, surfing the web, reading news from 4 different apps and playing some games. I don't know why anyone would lie about there battery life but maybe some people who say they only get 5 hours of battery life are just plain lying? See what I did there?
But does anyone else have a battery that is heating up for no reason? Should I look into a new battery or possibly a new phone?

Nah, the only time my battery heats up is when I am charging the phone and at the same time playing a graphically intensive game. Even then it doesn't heat up to the point of being uncomfortable.

Yeah I see..but I'm not lying. I simply cannot believe that people actually get good battery life because I've had more than one phone and it exhibits the battery characteristics as the last ones. I wish I could experience what some people say, but it simply does not happen unless I'm on wifi. If only the phone didn't eat percents while screen off...

It also depends on how much your 4G signal fluctuates so it depends on your area. If your constantly going from edge to 4G then that is using up more battery than me if I am always getting a good 4G signal. The more work your radio has to do the more battery it will use. The phone is going to eat up percentages when the display is off but if it's eating up "Display" percentage then I would say you have a problem. If your device is in standby most ofthe day then "Cell Standby" will be at the top on the percentage list. It's doing what it's supposed to do. If there was something wrong, then display would be at the top of the list. Next time you take your phone off of the charger, play a game for 20 minutes right away then make a 10 minute phone call. At this point you should see "Display" and "Voice Calls" at the top and "Cell Standby" the bottom. If not then something is wrong. I know there are many people with bad battery's and ones who have had problems with multiple units. I am just not one of them.
I just plugged it in to charge and it is at 103 degrees!

I am using a stock battery on my G2x and am debating purchasing a new one on Amazon. This is my last reading from 100 to 0 percent : (attached files)
Are the results good or should I purchase a new battery? And if so, which one? No batteries that require a bigger back door please, thanks!
Also, I am running 4.0.4
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I can pull a little more than that if I'm not fighting for signal...
Do you use anything like Juice Defender? Or maybe a similar function within the ROM?
I'd try stuff like that before purchasing a battery. But... it's always nice to have a spare.
Actually I see that your screen display is taking up the most battery so just lower the brightness of your phone and you will see results.
Thanks for the reply! I use a battery saving app... forgot the name of it. I know the app icon is an Android.
The screen was hogging up the battery because I was using my phone a lot. Games and browsing.
Thanks for the feedback.

It appears as though your phone never went to sleep?
Were you using the phone the ENTIRE time? Cause with only 3 hours of screen time and 7 hours of uptime, then why was the phone not sleeping at least a little bit in the extra 4 hours there?

click on the screen tab and post that screenshot also. Thanks
i got almost 3.5 days when i changed over to EB 4.0.4 with some texting, a few calls, a couple hours of reddit, and lots of mp3 playing. so far with having the g2x i have found that using auto with the screen and keeping wifi off will give alot of battery life no matter what with custom roms.
i am also using the anticipatory scheduler so it jumps around and a bit of undervolting.
Update to my last post. I had to reboot in the morning, so add like 20 more minutes to screen time for accuracy. I am pleased considering all the gaming and browsing. Definitely worth the extra bulk. Reliability before phone aesthetics.

About 33 hrs w/ WiFi OFF, 30 hrs on. With use: calls, messaging, Facebook, ect...... maybe about 22 hrs. Running apps all day are GoLauncher, GoPower, Magic Locker.... ect..
i get about 14 hours before i have to charge on a regular day
Cell signal quality and whether the cell radio is on make a huge difference for me.
I spend most of my time where I have wifi and now turn off the cell radio during those times, getting upwards of 30h on one charge (including occasional cell radio usage). Before I did this, I'd usually get through the day but not much more, around 14h.
I'm currently using Easy Battery Saver. It is making a lot of difference. Been playing around with the different settings. I will report back after a full charge than discharge.

That listening threw Bluetooth, wifi and GPS off, brightness all the way down. I no 4g kills ur battery way faster. But even if i turn 4g off battory still dies fast while listening to internet radio.
Any ideas why

Are you the type of person to press the home button when switching in between apps? If so they're running in the background, and apps like Facebook can eat up CPU usage. Bluetooth and radio apps will do the same.

Fairly typical. GPS is always on 24-7 and wifi on most of the time when home. Often end up charging and then taking off charge before bed so I get a 7 or 8 hour cruise mode with no activity to start off each battery stat as you can see by the plateau at the start. Over clocked @ 1344 w/ screen on, flat clocked with screen off and no undervolting so its not too bad. As soon as I move/copy/paste files or anything leaving screen on I see drastic drops in battery life but typical medium use lasts all day no prob and battery left to spare.
Sorry edit...... this is on my G-Nexus with Paranoid Android and trinity kernel.
My a500 on Flexreaper Extreem does about 25-30 hours with fairly heavy use. 40-48 hours when mostly idle. Overclocked @ 1504 screen on, 1000 screen off w/ Minor undervolt. Lovin custom roms !
WOW.....EDIT !!!! : I'm a tard. I could have sworn this was a Galaxy Nexus thread. I apologize, don't know how I ended up here.

Tune in itself will drain your battery. Love the app but I use it sparingly as it kills any phone I've used it on.
