I'm looking forward to the gingerbread release mostly for the battery drain fix. If they can make this phone last 2-4 days without bleeding dry just sitting idle then I'd die a happy man...

Do u know if the next update has the lg camera app like froyo?

Don't get a smartphone if u want it last 2-4 days. That's asking the impossible. Or get a lame iphone 4. Id have to say its a beast in the battery department.

My old mytouch used to last 2.5 days... 24 hours should not be to much to ask. Currently it seems impossible for this g2x to go 12 hours.

My Nexus One with no sim card inserted lasted almost 5 days before finally quitting. Im sure if someone was able to tweak the polling timeouts and data consumption on idle we could get 2 days out of a phone easily (with no use)
You have to remember some people dont use their phones like us. This is also why I think iPhones are viewed as having amazing battery life. Android users love to play with their phones, the screen really never shuts off.

What's the point in having a phone with no sim card lasting 5 days? I can get the same use out of a brick. Not trying to dis but really, what's the point?

no it doesn't like i said i already played with it and everything change to gingerbread

guys i dont think they'll make a phone with the batter last 2-3 days.. for reasons when your phone is working on the time even when its asleep... like web,facebook,email and more
i had a nokia back when their were popular and the battery lasted 2-3 days because it wasnt such a thing like wifi. facebook or other stuff that make your phone run all the time.... you can have an extra battery if you dont want to be without a phone when that battery drains...

you know what i didnt though about it... but he suppost to have that phone to test this week and when he bring it over ill take a picture with it.... and like i say the last time he got the phone to test the battery lasted 4 hours max and thats why their taking their time to resolve that problem

Im actually on day 3 but Im only running 500 Mhz and its under volted I just did this to see how long it would last with light use

Ive been using a vzw iphone 4 for the last couple days, and ill say, its battery is much better than the first g2x i had. I absolutely hammer that battery..with around 5-6 hours screen on time..and it holds up well.

I've read along time ago before the first iphone came out that the battery would be integrated into the whole device and that it would fit into unused "nooks and crannies" to give it that extra lasting power. The only downside, I believe is that you can't manually change out the iphone battery. So that's why the iphone has a greating operating time.
Although I'm glad LG and other Android manufacturers didn't limit us Android device owners with a non changeable battery, I believe that they can tweak the operating system to not "bleed" the battery when just on standby and just being idle without the user not actively using the phone.
Even with Wifi, data, bluetooth, GPS, screen display etc. disabled, after a few hours on non use it's not surprising to find the battery has drained sometimes up to 10% within 2 hours. This is unacceptable, and doesn't have to be this way.
Fix it google by disabling the "spyware" you implemented into the android OS.

Little ticked with this g2x battery, but you got a point with the iphone. Someone laughed at my battery, saying their iphone was so much better and all that meanwhile he hardly used the phone. Then I also have a co-worker that barely gets 5-6 hours without recharging as well.

This turned into ANOTHER battery thread.

Come on guys, I cleaned this thread. Why the rudeness??. The OP is just stating something he wanted to share with this community and you start posting about his grammar and other nonsense stuff.
Please, just focus in the discussion or just read the post (with no comments, if you are not going to contribute).
Thanks,

I know battery life is one of the big issues Gingerbread's supposed to fix. The SGS2 came out on 2.3.3. and the battery life has pretty much been abysmal. Samsung's releasing a 2.3.4. update next week. This explains why...
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Almo...uffering-from-power-consumption-issue_id19060
On the bright side, the battery *****ing on the Sensation forum hasn't been too bad and they're on 2.3.3. So maybe the OEM's can do some driver tweaking to get past the problem. It might just be something to keep in your back pocket should the LG update be on 2.3.3.

Should I go to the Charge or Revolution?

Verizon offered me a Droid Charge or LG Revolution if I wanted for free for my Bolt because of the issues with the random restarts. Anyone know how good those phones are? I really love my Bolt but they and Htc both said it can be anywhere from 1-2 months to fix the issues and get the update out.

If you are upset with your bolt because of restarts and you are set of getting rid of it I would go with the Charge as the most comparable phone to the Bolt. LG's phone has a 5mp camera on the front which is a downgrade and i am not sure about memory on it but the charge has about the same specs. Personally I still think the bolt is the best of the three phones but I am not a big fan of the plastic feel of both the Charge and the Revo.
Final thoughts. I'd say root your bolt and stick it out. But if you want to change go with the Charge.

Yea I love my Bolt its the best but I might stick it out I'm thinking of going and checking the charge out today and see how it feels to me.

if you're rooted. try out a gingerbread rom and the new radio. should fix the reboot issues.

I'm thinking of going back to samsuck as well. I miss amoled and ok battery life. How'd you get them to offer you that? I need to bypass tier 1. I'm tired of their every solution being a factory reset

They won't just offer something like that. You'll be lucky to get a new phone if you are outside of the 14 days. I had to fight to what seemed like the death just to get a new replacement for my TB. I've learned my lesson on contracts. Full retail from here on out. If what wouldn't have started the process to leave and pay my 900 in etf's for my 4 lines, then I would have probably still gotten another junk refurb. I haven't even gotten close to getting a comparable warranty replacement for my TB.

I would stick with the thunderbolt. When I first bought the tb I was seriously getting restarts randomly about 10 times a day. Did a little research then did this.
Root phone. Load das bamf remix 1.7 rom with the kernel that came with the full rom dl. Downloaded lte onoff and left lte off until I actually needed it on for heavy downloads or streaming. Changed cpu settings to 1.2ghz with a governor of smartass.
I did not get a random reboot since. I started using bamf right when they released 1.6.3. I get 12-14 hour battery life on work days with light usage. Light usage is checking facebook notification every now and then. Texting back and forth here and there. Stream music to my bluetooth. And finally watching half an hour of sports or movies streaming on justin.tv.
I love this phone... Super amoled screen is bomb tho.

Lte onoff is not required because it is in the bamf toolkit.

Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

I would go with what others said and root it to load bamf. Been running bamf and have had no random restarts and loving the bolt.
That said if you really want to switch then I'd go with the charge. It feels kind of cheap, but its a phone that works well out of the box.
The lg revolution's software is kind of buggy and laggy from my experience

My Bolt rebooted 10 times yesterday.. Called Verizon and they are sending a new Bolt. They did not offer me a Charge or any other phone. I just hope my 3rd one is a charm.

All I did was tell them that I have had it replaced 4 time which I have for this and other reasons and said that I've done over 10 factory wipes and nothing worked and told them that customer service said that tech support could change the phone to something else or the loyalty department but if they did I would have to stick with it and then the guy transferred me to the supervisor and she said she would do it but if I did and they send me the other phone I can't go back even after they fix the issues with the Bolt. So I just had her put it in the notes so that I could think about it and that was it. I even went last night to a vz store to play around with the charge and see if she did put the notes and they were there.

Tmobile battery explanation

Thought you guys would get a LOL out of this... on my 3rd battery from tmobile trying to convince them to just send me a new phone.. told the rep it dies in 4 hours of idle time... His excuse "well that's because the G2x is a very powerful phone that does a lot of things so 4 hours is about normal." bahahaha nice try. new phone arrives tuesday.

Talked to them about this today. I have been losing about 20% an hour while plugged into USB (while using the phone). They just read the steps the computer shows them.
First I was told that I need a task manager to kill apps I am not running. I was also told if I have a lot of apps that could cause this too. I mentioned that apps in memory aren't using the processor, and therefore not causing battery drain. I was then informed that having a lot of apps could cause the phone to run slowly. I mentioned I wasn't having issues with the phone running slow, but an issue with battery drain. They then told me that the processor has to work harder when there are stalls due to having many apps. I then asked why there was so much memory on the phone for apps, and mentioned that working in development myself, have no idea how this could be. There was no more discussion about this.
I was then asked how much I charge my phone. I said I charge it over night to full, and then while I am using at my desk I usually have it plugged in to the computer by USB when I use the phone, which equals to about half to 75% of the work day. I was told this was too much and there was no response when I mentioned again that this was during use and it was still draining. My only other option was to let the phone die.
A few more things to check and they finally said they were going to send out a new one, but that they were required to go through those trouble shooting steps first. At that point it is obvious they repeat what they are told.

More people need to emphasis this. I'm so very tired of 'tech support' telling folks to use task managers and killers on Android.

so far running cm7 and now cm7 xboarder v1.0.1, I am getting anywhere from 17-23 hours of battery life on a daily basis. I am texting throughout the day, regular phone calls with at least a 45 min call every noight and regular pandora use for around 5 hours a day. After rooting, my battery life tripled and then cm7 and its variants are making it even better. just my 2 cents

X boarder?

id say my battery life is pretty good, cm7 RC1 and fauxs kernel. lasts me all day maybe more. moderate use too.
Ehh whenever im at the t-mobile store and they're always speaking nonsense, complete idiots.

I spoke to an escalation Rep at LG and she told me LG is okay with 25% drain an hour. Ha! L

My pet theory concerns the charger. Did a battery swap and still had issues. This was the week the phone was released. Started using my hd2 chargers and have had zero issues since. In reality there are probably several issues, but this is what has worked for me.

make sure you guys turn off led notifications...kills the battery in no time

Any idea how to turn it off? Looked everywhere for that setting

[Q] Help with battery Life on my Lg G2x Please! (without updating the phone)

Hey there im brand new to this forum and android in general i just sitched from an iphone to the Lg G2x. I have to say the G2x is incredible but my battery life isn't i get on average 5 to 6 hrs of battery life (lose about 20% every hour) as others i have installed juice defender ultimate, setcpu, and watchdog. In addition to all these apps i uninstalled apps like T-mobile app pack and wifi calling because these apparently use up a lot of battery. So my question is if there any tips you guys can give me or setting for my phone or apps because maybe i have everything i need installed but with the wrong settings any help at all would be great thank you in advance
Info that might help:
As of now the juice defender app reports: 1.36x improvement

Well im assuming your running stock ROM and kernel...so the best and easiest thing i can tell you is just buy an extended battery ....they last alot longer, if you get the right one...

Download spare parts, go to battery history, and look at partial wake lock.
If you see a bar going across the screen or even most of the way, that's your culprit.
Also games like Words With Friends kills battery life with its polling service.

@Texan28
Well idk i tried to post pictures to display all that info but since im a new member i cant post links to pictures yet and well how much are they because ive heard there rather expensive
@ enoch861
No i would say average use most of the time just texting (usually is periodic not constant) , very little email checking and little or no facebook use but most of the time the phone is just sitting like for example right now Cell Stanby is at:49% and phone idle at 52% personally i think its to high but idk is that normal?
@Scyth3
Installed the app but no apps seem to be giving trouble all that have a status bar are very small

Once you've confirmed that you're not seeing any rogue app activity then uninstall watchdog. You don't need an app monitor or task killer running constantly on your phone.
Turn off auto brightness and set screen brightness somewhere around 20-25%. Under Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wifi Settings > *Press Menu* > Advanced Settings change wifi sleep policy to never. Turn wifi off when you're not going to be connected to a wifi network. Set your email/Facebook/twitter/weather/etc apps to sync either manually or at least less frequently.
Your biggest battery killers are going to be your screen brightness and your cellular radio. Juice defender can help control some of the cell radio by keeping data turned off when you don't need it. Also consider if you have poor signal your phone might also be always switching from 4G to 2G then it'll use more battery.
Don't bother with disabling GPS. Your phone only uses it when an app needs it anyway.
G2X CM7

Also, I'm assuming you've rooted your phone since you said you've removed wifi calling and other T-Mobile stuff. In that case, open setcpu and create a couple of profiles. Create a Screen Off profile with max/min values of 312/216MHz. Also create an In Call profile with max/min values of 1000/216 and set the priority slider higher than the screen off profile. I do this because when the screen goes off during a phone call I still want my phone to have plenty of processor power available. And I don't set it lower than 1000 because I'm often doing other things with my phone while I'm on a call.
G2X CM7

Then there's something wrong with your phone or a rogue app. I text a lot also and use my phone moderately to heavily. But I still get a whole day of use from the phone. Its surprising.

@phburks I Actually have those settings on my phone however the setcpu i dont because i cant set those numbers for some reason it only lets me set default for example it goes from 245MHz to 384MHz (on the sliding adjuster)
@enoch861 really is there any tests i can run to find out whats really wrong?

No sir. Not that I know of.
But I would try to do a reset of the phone first anand run it a couple of days without really installing anything. If you get better battery life then it could be due to an app that you had installed. At that point you can start reinstalling your Apps one at a time in order of importance.
Now of that doesn't fix it, it could be a hardware issue.

In setcpu have you tried hitting Menu > Device Selection and then selecting the Tegra 2 option at the top? You might have it set up for the wrong device.
As for the battery life in general, 5-6 hours on light to moderate usage as you described is not normal for this phone. When I was on my stock rom unrooted I could still get at least 10-12 good hours and I use my phone a lot, mostly for texting and web browsing.
Are you in an area with weak cell signal?
Are there any other preinstalled apps from T-Mobile that are still installed?

@enoch861 will the reset un-root and re-lock the phone?

If by unlocking you mean the SIM being unlocked to work on other cell networks, then you have nothing to worry about. A factory reset wont mess with that
As for performing a factory reset, go into Settings > Privacy and choose Factory Data Reset. Make sure you back up any texts/MMS you want to keep. All personal files/photos on your sdcard will be preserved but you'll have to reinstall any apps you want.
Since you still have stock recovery you can also power off the phone and then hold Volume Down + Power for like 10 or more seconds till you see the Android unpacking icon, and it will reset that way.
It shouldn't mess with root.

If your phone's rooted, which it seems to be, download the battery calibration app from the market. It's free, and helped my battery life immensely. Basically charge it up to 100%, use the app. It deletes the battery stats file so android can make a new one. Run it all the way down to empty, then charge it back up to 100% and you should be good to go.

how exactly is a program that measures the battery helping the battery life?
OP, I am using Xboarders latest 2.3.3 rom and have had the phone on 9 hours and am at 70%. I use set cpu to slow down teh processor when the screen is off and I use juice defender to turn off data, wifi, etc when the screen is off.

@ enoch861 thanks thats a relief
@phburks thanks im gonna go ahead and try it by the way when i perform it is there anything i should be doing or avoid doing (For example removieng certain apps or anything like that ?)

Severe Battery Drain Issues - Any Help?

Hey guys,
My M8 has severe battery drain issues. It went from 85 percent batter to about 25 percent in the course of 2 and 1/2 hours and all I've done is sent a few texts. It's been like this since I bought it two days ago, right out of the box. I've flashed Android Revolution Rom and that didnt help.

Settings, apps, running, and see what's running. Install wake lock detector and greenify. Let wake lock run a while and greenify the bad apps. You can also go into app permissions and deny a good many wakeups but you have to pick and choose cause you can prevent the app from working.
Also choose a governor other than interactive, like on demand and noop or sio for scheduler.
Also turn off WiFi and anything else if your not using it, location especially.
Good luck.
HTC One M8 powered by SinLess Audiophile v3.5.5/Elite Lunar 3.4.0

Could your other posts about converting to AT&T or needing a VZW radio zip have anything to do with this? If you flashed something incompatible, there is a pretty good chance that's causing your battery issue.
"I figured it out. For anyone else out there that has a Verizon M8 and are using it on AT&T, you can convert your phone to the AT&T variant. I'm getting LTE but not constantly, it switches between LTE and HSDPA but it's staying mostly on LTE. Yay!"
If your signal is bouncing around, that will kill your battery.

"I figured it out. For anyone else out there that has a Verizon M8 and are using it on AT&T, you can convert your phone to the AT&T variant. I'm getting LTE but not constantly, it switches between LTE and HSDPA but it's staying mostly on LTE. Yay!"
If your signal is bouncing around, that will kill your battery.

It was like that out of the box before any modifications actually. The first day I got it I charged it up and it drained to zero within about 4 hours. The second day same thing. I have to charge 3 times per day just to get through a whole day. And that was before I even rooted, did S-off, unlocked bootloader or flashed any roms. After having it for a couple of days I converted it to an international device to get lte (which I'm getting) and the battery is the same as before I did anything. No change. Drain drain drain. It also charges very slowly about 4 to 5 hours to go from zero to 100 percent. I've even tried turning the mobile data completely off and connecting to my wifi at home and even with mobile data completely off it drains the exact same. I think my unit is defective.

If it did that from the beginning, I would bet on a hardware issue. I don't get battery life that bad even with heavy internet use and streaming on WiFi.

Thanks. I ended up exchanging it for a new one and the new is fine. I get a full day with heavy use. Yeah the other one it was really crazy. I would have to charge 3 times a day, it was insane.
