Ok so I had ARHD 3.1.x running great before. But I upgraded to the new firmware and ever since ive had issues with all roms. With sense roms i have horrible battery life, random reboots and my battery readings are very very messed up. I know the sensation has always had weird battery readings but this is just crazy at 60 % my phone starts to reboot and is suddenly at 10% so i reboot again and it goes to 30% then 50% then back to like 20%. With sense i used to get around 12 hours and 3-4 hours of usage, now i get like 6-8 hours with 1 hour of usage. I have already tried flashing other radios and RILs and the problems are still there. I tried to flash cm7 and most of the issues were gone but i had lockups that i had never had with cm7.
Has anyone else had these issues too? Were you able to fix them? Or does anyone have the latest TMOUS Ruu that still has S-off and has been tested? I want to go back to my old firmware to see if it will fix it. Im sorry for the long post but i really want to get my phone running like before.

I have not had a problem did you use the wipe zip before flashing the ROMs ??? i would suggest it ????
Yup I've super wiped after flashing each ROM. I've tried everything
I dont know man i asume you Super CID too, maybe reflash the firmware again did you use the right firmware??? Anyone else suggestions??
Yea I am. I flashed both ICS firmware the first one and the second one twice. I think now I should just flash my stock firmware but i dont know if its possible to brick it since im downgrading.. Anyone else have any suggestions???
Howdy Folks,
I'm new to these parts, but was hopin' to get some advice on my phone.
See, I recently bought an optimus 3d off a guy on kijiji, phone looked good, no scratches, everything in box, etc.
Here's the problem...the battery lasts about 6 hours in standby, and ,maybe 1-2 if I'm using it. (wifi, bluetooth, gps disabled, screen min bright)
Can't get LG to send me a battery as i don't have receipt, and would like to know if it's the battery's fault after all.
Here's why i'm suspicious - with 0 running applications (according to app manager widget) the phone's using more than half it's RAM, and about a third of its CPU (fluctuates around 20-40%)
under "running services" in app settings i have (tried turning all off):
sync service
power control service
android keyboard
Also when i tried running n64oid, it was slow and sluggish as heck, though it should run fine and dandy on my hardware - suggesting a phantom menace of sorts.
Folks have any idea if there's an issue on my phone, or if my battery's just garbage?
-Save me please!, I'd rather not go through the hassle of selling it.
*Oh, one more thing! - In standby the back gets fairly warm, is that normal?

update to latest firmware i.e gingerbread
can't, lg update thing says i have latest update (not from europe)
or is there a way to get around this? i'm a complete noob when it comes to android...(just found out what rooting was 2 days ago)
*nm figured it out, going to try v21b
I was using an extended battery and was still only getting a single day of use out of my O3D. For some reason, and I know how android works, the processes/apps running in the background really bog down the phone. I have had other devices and never had it as bad as my LG G2X and LG Optimus 3D. There has to be something wrong with how LG builds their version of Android. Anyway, it wasn't until I downloaded "Autokiller Memory Optimizer" that I saw a difference. You can set it to automatically kill apps to a set of presets. Meaning how many apps you are willing to let the phone run in the background. Even with the screen off. So I put my original battery back in and I am happy to say I am getting a full 24+ hours out of the old battery! The app is free in the market and there is a paid version too. Just try it and see what you think. I am no noob to the mod scene either. I am also not advertising here. Just letting my fellow O3D users in on what works for me. Right now I am running the acura rom with the 1.2ghz OC but I was using different freq. and they all work well with the Autokiller app.
hmm, well if it's still no good after v21b i might give it a try, though like i said i had nothing visibly running in background.
k, followed instructions as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236
Phone's now completely toast, lg animation just keeps looping on boot.
-sigh
*did recovery mode, formatted/factory reset, rebooted with great sucess (took a while though)
however for some reason it appears as though my model number changed?
now its the p920
problem resolved, its been in standby for like 30 minutes and power's only dropped 1%

This is the Optimus 3D(p920) development sections and their threads.
oh, in canada the optimus 3d is p925g
I just joined this site to post here... I have this same p925g, same revision of firmware as the OP. I also have the exact same issue since I got this phone.
Basically always idling around %15-30 cpu usage, terrible battery life, nothing running or any extra apps.
Is there anything I can do? When I first got the phone I couldnt believe how bad it was, I think I have to rooted.. or super user... or at least whatever that odd menu is that I installed.
So I believe I can flash it to something, but when I was doing that there was nothing available (learnt from the cyanogenmod site) - but that was 4 months ago at least.
Anyhow, I watched the dumb video when I registred mentioning to specially post in a thread with a similar OP issue.
SO here I am, with ads on Kijiji to swap my 3D Android for a iPhone 4 (for the past 2 months lol) because I cannot stand the battery time.
I can literally kill my phone in an hour and 20 minutes lol. But the biggest problem is it can basically kill itself in 3 hours of use, just texting or what have you.. its pathetic.
I was hoping LG would release 4.0 (and supposedly will)... but I dont want their custom **** on my phone, for some reason the LG "Home" uses a crap load of battery life as it is, probably part of the problem.
Anyhow, My dad got a nexus 2 days ago with the fancy pants 4.0 and it makes my phone look like a nokia from 2004.
Im at my witts end, either I need a different os, a different phone. Or a custom battery pack idea...
thanks for any help |

Found that, 3500 VS the stock 1650 would more than double it, but still... that kinda a last resort band aid approach
I have the Rogers p925g too. The latest firmware we have is V10C, which is what it was released with here. With it, I was averaging about 8-10 hours of moderate use with mostly texting and internet.
Getting tired of Rogers and LG not releasing updates for us, I finally decided to root and put a custom rom, and it made a big difference to me. I had V21A Gingerbread running ThiaiZ V2.4, and got around 18-20 hours. I did end up having some network issues though, so I flashed back to Froyo and installed ThiaiZ V1.5.2. I'm at almost 14 hours now with 20% left, so it's still much improved over the stock V10C.

Try using a CM based ROM - they seem to have much better battery life.
Or if you need 3D, try using a GB Based rom - they have better battery life than froyo ones. Use a custom launcher like launcherpro, go launcher or adw - tehy use less battery than LGHome.
all i did was install v21b (for p920 it turns out) and my battery life is fine now (literally improved standby time by 3000%) , though i still only have around 170mb of ram available, and random applications seem to open for no reason (messaging, maps, google search, etc). plus i dont think it can be rooted.

not trying to be pushy but can someone link me the best aftermarket OS to flash my phone with, I use the hdmi and 3d camera. and that needs to be available. other than that I could care less about anything else. standard android ui would be nice. not sure if that's possible though.....kinda a noob with all this though I do have superuser installed from months ago and I think that's half the battle. wondering if anyone locally could help me out.. I'm from sask

Try the Thrill 4G Development Forums. There should be quite alot of ROMs there (No GB Though). I don't think P920 GB roms would work due to different basebands (Or at least the phone function won't).
stock v21a is working fine with my p925g. only thing is, after i upgraded i had to boot into recovery mode (holding those 3 buttons)and format/factory reset, then reboot. otherwise lg logo will just loop forever.
i'm gonna try that thai one, sounds like it's more lightweight ( good thing with only half a gig of ram)
I tried using a Thrill ROM (Doomed Froyo) on our p925g, and it installs a lot of AT&T bloatware (though you can delete those), but it also loses the setting of "Enable 2G networks only". I've been much happier with ThiaiZ's Froyo ROM from here.
I'd definitely suggest trying out the v21a or a custom GB ROM, and seeing if you have any data issues or not. Not everyone is having these problems though, so if you don't have them, then a GB ROM would be best, if not, then ThiaiZ's Froyo ROM would be a nice improvement over stock.
Hi guys, Sorry to bump in between a dicussion, but i really need your help.. I am planning to get a new dual core cellphone but i am confused between o2x and o3d.. I wanna go in favour of o3d, but the reviews say that battery back up is really bad. Is it really that bad? whats the maximum battery backup i would get in moderate usage? And also I am a gamer and will b hoping to do a lot of gamin in ma cell.. soplease suggest me which one i should go for.
Hi All,
I'm searching for a fix for a battery drain problem for the latest MIUI on my HTC Sensation. I Spent whole day searching this forum and the web for answers but I didn't found any.
What's the problem? Well, since I installed the MIUI rom the battery drains abnormally fast. In standby my phone loses about 5 percent per 15 minutes. I've searched in the MIUI xda topic and there were also people with the same problem. But they also have no solution.
Apparently the issue is that the phone goes not to "sleep". When I use battery monitor I see that my Sensation loses about 300 mA in standby. I've installed no apps, no data connection or WIFI enabled. I'm using the stock kernel and also tried Faux and Bricked kernel. Nothing helped. I'm also using the recommended radio.
I've also reflashed the rom about 3 times.
When I go in the "battery use" menu I see that 80% of the consumed uAh is for the display. The display has consumed about 8791 uAh in 20 minutes. I guess that isn't normal right? Followed by 13% for the Cell Standby and 7% for "phone idle".
I excuse my for noobish questions but i'm quiete desperate.
Thanks for your time and help!
I have perfect battery life on latest with fauxs latest beta 9
Sent from my MIUI.us Sensation 4G using xda premium
Hey there.
I'm quite new to this but thought I might just offer a suggestion. No idea if it is of any help but who knows eh?
Have you tried flashing a different rom since you started getting the battery drain problem? If battery drain is normal on the other rom then at least you will know that your problem is definitely related to the MIUI rom and not something else like the radio or whatnot.
Good luck. Hopefully someone else with more experience than me, and more insight than g1user101 will come along and offer some real help.
Hi there,
So I just flashed this ROM : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474878
It was last night, I hopped that battery issue drain by Cell stanby~Android System would be fix, but it didn't worked for me..
I flashed the ROM correctly, everything was OK. Wiped data/cache/dalvik and even formatted /system.
I don't understand why, my battery is really strange, sometimes I lose only 2 or 3% during many hours, other times I lose 20% per hour (with inactiv use).
I never had battery issue before ICS.
I got a Nexus S i9023, I hope some of you gonna be able to help me, I really want to fix that battery !
Best regards,
SpawN-
flash a rom that doesn't suck your battery! Or try some kernels that helps you to save battery
Yea sure, but this ROM was just here for the problem with battery, so it had to fix the problem, but didn't work for me, that's why I don't understand =/

sounds like it could be gremlins, or an app app wreaking havoc. also, apps that need to check for notifications drain battery quickly. i usually turn off all notifications(except gtalk/gmail).
I don't have any apps making annoying notifications, my Wifi and 3G are OFF and I often use Task Killer to kill useless processus.
I read that the porting of 4.0.4 for ns gsm was really smooth and battery save
This ROM wasn't even intended for your phone. All bets are off for stability...forget about battery life.
Seriously, though the behaviour you're seeing may not be the ROM. It could be programs keeping the phone awake during standby. To confirm, there's an app called Better Battery Stats on market (and in the Android Development and Hacking section on these forums) that may be able to help you figure things out.

Hello,
Have you tried to change your RADIO ?
try this kernel *Matr1x* with BLN and voodoo v16.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361477
I think it would be help.
For what i've seen the 4.0.4 version was just a leak so there could be some issue/bug. Maybe is better to stay with a custom Rom+kernel and wait for the update or for a custom kernel based on oficial realease 4.0.4 version.
cheers.
The only battery fix in 4.04 was the android os stats being logged incorrectly, i.e. too high.
That has been fixed in 4.04.
I don't think there ever was a cell standby/android system logging bug.
You may be mistaken.
This ROM is really AWESOME!! Everything is running great for me. But the battery is draining twice as fast. Anyone had this problem???
Before, I had the khalpower ROM (froyo) and I used to get 2 days of battery. After the upgrade, I only get less than 24 hours with the same usage.
Battery usage gives: 36% for Cell Standby, 22% for Phone Idle and Display is 12%.
Any ideas?
Tks
Anybody??
PS: I configured everything to save battery but I only get 24h at max.

How long is battery life in cm9 ? because I have only 1 day too with cm7.
Wow, CM9 save more battery than CM7? It's awesome. I'll try it tonight
Can choosing a wrong stock SBF to begin with cause the problem? Say you're in Singapore/India and first flash US cin-bell or Russian sbf. The baseband etc updated as per the country's settings. And consumes more battery. Does this theory stand at all?

You can change baseband with openrecovery-XT720 (It is not necessary a new SBF)
Have you changed provider? When I change my phone-sim from different provider I note different consumption.
There's another part of the baseband (bpsw) that can't be flashed in OR (at least not easily--I figured out why a few months ago, but haven't bothered fix it). Generally, the intent of the baseband updates in OR is to get the ROM portions to match the installed bpsw. But peshovec has convinced me that the baseband updates aren't really doing anything on XT720 because we have only one flavor of GSM on all stock devices (for comparison, A853 has a few different ones). So, I no longer think baseband matters.
Stupid things just seem to happen when you have low signal and an occasional low signal problem may have nothing to do with your phone. Reproducibility is the key here. I started using llama and now pay attention to which tower I'm connected to. For example, at my house in the same chair I can be connected to any of four towers and problems usually occur when I'm connected to a particular one (which happens very rarely). The format of that tower's identifyer code is quite different from the other three so I suspect it's a different model and/or generation.
Anyway, my experience on CM7 is that background processes churn like crazy (constant killed, restart cycles)--and that's what I think causes the problem. I haven't found how to address that though, and in my experience things like supercharger tend to make it worse. It's really weird because I remember a time when CM7 had better battery life than CM6... and I can't pinpoint what changed.
Has anyone compared with peshovec's? There are more of nadlabak's A853 256mb device tweaks in that one.
Try installing "BATTERY CALIBRATION" from the market and follow the instructions. It works for me. I'm using CM9.
To manage the constantly "auto"run apps , you can use gemini app manager , it could change the autorun status of an app . Now there is no more app that can autorun in background without my permission
