I had numerous issues with this damn phone since Videotron changed my beloved HTC Glacier (just because the headphone jack was broken) to this P999 **** (they brand it Optimus 2X here).
I saw the phone reboot by itself, becoming slower than a G1 on ICS, refusing to connect to any wifi (awesome for someone without data plan) and refusing to boot after installing ROMs.
But that one take the cake. This morning the phone battery went to 0 in a matter of minutes while it was plugged into the wall. Don't ask me what happened, I was sleeping and when I woke up, I had to boot the phone.

Of all issues I had with this phone, battery wasn't one until that.
So if anyone as a theory, I would be glad to know it.
- Thanks!
Phone details:
LG-P999 (Refurb device, acquired the 9th April 2012)
Lexar 16GB Class 10 SD-Card (never used the on-board storage)
ROM: SINGH-UI (MIUI 2.3.30)
Android 2.3.7
Baseband May 18 2011
Kernel 2.6.32.51-CM7-Faux123-048 (Stock clk/vt?)
(I know the ROM isn't the latest one, but as I said, the phone seems to refuse to boot any GB roms I install lately but I was able to use a Nandroid)
I've had similar issues with charging. Mine would drain while plugged in with only the screen on. Terrible. It would get super hot too.
It's possible the battery is going bad or a glitch in the phone making it thinking it was at a higher % than it was. I would try discharging it completely then using an external charger (or a new battery, $10 on amazon) to charge it
If you are willing try this one and see if it fixes the issue. Please post results.

Damn man sucks to hear about the horrible experience you're having with the G2x. Try running the latest nullifier before flashing a new ROM.
Also, download the ROM directly to your phone.

Use a different charger/USB cord?

I plan to buy a battery travel charger from ebay.
Anyone can give me some feedback?
I just want to know will it damage my original HTC battery if this is a bad or defect charger?

Saw this at DX, only trying it with DX battery not original batt. no charge full lights ?
Either link is bad or item has been removed......no longer available from this seller.
Wouldn't mind this item as well. I will look around to see if this is available else where.
http://www.rpasonline.com/pd-battery-charger-for-htc-touch-diamond-touch-pro.cfm this one has charge lights, but looks like it uses only usb port.

I wonder if this same travel unit can do the extended battery as well. My suspicions tells that it won't.
Still, good find !!
i bought this similar charger from DX for US4
it charges the 1800 m Ah battery but only has 2 lights, green and red....
did not really wait till it turn from red to green... after 5.30 hours, took the charger off.
there is a few version of this charger, the premium version has 7 lights.
search for DPL-1688 online..
Maybe this is a beter travling option
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.19086
I don't now yet how many times you can charge your phone with it I ordered it and think for travling purpose this is a much beter option just because you can charge your phone anywhere even in the bush where in the near 100km is no electricity, ofcoarse there is a limit in the times you can charge but if the choise is charge or empty useless phone there shouldn't be to much doubt, specialy cause its a small app from -3inchX-3inchX0,5 inch the capacity sugest a 12 times charging of your phone which mean in the bush where you can switch your radio off cause there won't be any antenne in the near of you
Here you can find a link to a post of me about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=463363

Okay...?
The majority of the people here have rooted.
It won't help. I have deleted the batterystats on mine phone more than 20 times in the last 3 days and there is no change nor hope!
Let me rephrase by saying your ROOTED phones battery stats might be lying to you.
And for the guy who tried it three times and failed. I don't think you took the time for fully discharging the phone. That's right I'm calling BS.
Anyway got to go my battery just dropped 30%
Just wanted to let you guys know that this is completely true in my case. The other night around 2am I went to sleep with the battery around 68%. When I woke up 4hours later for work my phone was turned off. I then plugged it in and my battery was at 0%.
I was on the perfect storm Rom. I then switched to das bamf. Still happens. Tried bump charging and 0-100 charging and its helped but when I reboot the phone the battery shows about 7% less then where it was.

I think that is thy the stock battery icons don't show an exact %, b/c they haven't been able to make it work right. Don't worry though i believe that the devs will get it before HTC.
Ok my battery was just now at 50%. I restarted and now showing 41%. I don't know what's going on.

As I said, you can charge and discharge all day long, it won't help!
Thank you for reposting this. So sick and tired of people complaining about dropping 10% in a few minutes after a full charge.

I think this is a glitch. It drops like crazy after restart but then stays there until it "catches up" I guess.

So far,I have only rooted my phone, not a custom rom. I either have a crappy battery life, which seems better when I shut 4g down, or there is a glitch on the metering. My .02 worth.
Hi everyone,
Phone is Sensation XE.
ROM is Virtuous Insquisition 4.0.2 (using kernel that comes with the ROM).
I think i'm a moderate user. I dont surf or play games that much. I do text/chat quite a bit. However, my battery can never last a whole day.

by 7 or 8pm, i usually have to turn off Data, WiFi, GPS ect to save battery.
Can the phone last the whole day with Mugen battery? I've already purchased it. waiting for it to arrive.
Please advice,
Thanks
Yes it should get you through I bought the anker and it works perfectly no issues but I wish I could still get more juice because I am an extreme user lol...
Swyped From My Sensation.
I'm also an extreme user and anker battery helps a lot! What a difference from stock battery!
Not sure about the mugan I've never tried it.I'm sure it will help out a lot I know Anker does.

If you have all those apps up and running they will withoud doubt kill the battery life
The other poster are correct in that a better battery/larger capicity will provide considerable help
Are you aware that Wif uses lots of power looking for and trying to connect to wifi, so if its not connected switching this off help, also GPS is a grat battery hog and should only be on when needed
try without them on for a few recharge cycles and see
I recommend a quality replacement battery - try the Anker 1800 ma I get almost 48 hous of medium us - no GPS and wifi only on when I'm at home or work - it uses less power when connected unlike the GPS
I'm using Cyanogenmod 11 M5 on a D820 32GB. Lately I've noticed that idle battery life is not as it should be; I got frustrated enough last night that I wiped everything and left it sitting. Battery started at 82% and dropped to 63% with about 15min of SOT::

This doesn't feel right; as I recall from when the phone was new (and as I have seen others talking about), standby time is supposed to be great. Is this normal?
I'm flashing stock right now; I'll see if that helps.

Show us some BBS logs. Most likely CM issue though. More precisely, the CM kernel. But without BBS, it's just speculation.

Okay. I'll try this with stock Android and see what happens. If it's not better, I'll post BBS logs for it too.
I also think it's CM's fault, and if this happens with stock as well, you may have a faulty battery.
I usually get 1 hour SOT/20%, give or take 10 minutes.
I can get this with my usage patterns, obviously this is going to change (for better or worse) depending on how you use and configure your phone.

Awesome as in how long?
At any rate, after totally paving my device the drain seems to be better on M5. Not sure what the issue is/was.
So, here's my issue. Original cable N brick, charges almost nothing. Putting the brick N cable into my old not fast charging supported phone gives 1200 mA.
Unbelievable N here almost nothing.
Running MIUI 12.5.4

I have the same issue for like 2 months now. It comes and goes on its own. But when it does come, it messes my life up. Like today, it came back. It took my phone 7 HOURS to go from 30% to 64%.
Have you by any chance resolved it? If so, can you elaborate, please?

No I didn't,it works once a while then It turned to **** more often. I even bought another cable ( always same) it's Very strange . I decided to use it jow as 2nd phone only ,it's a pity because I like Poco all the way but charge all day is useless. It's either software related or something is wrong with the charging port ( but I cleaned a million times with a toothpick and even used a blower but it still doesn't work reliable. So I gave up on it. Wish you more luck!
12.5 update causing this... My phone stop charging at 90 percent... Only way to get it full charge to 100% is by plugged it to USB desktop...
I'm having the exact same problems. My original lead that came with the phone I can get to use fast charge fine but any other lead I've used just refuses to charge at a reasonable level at all. Last week I bought another official Xiaomi lead, the exact same as what I've got now. First few hours it was charging up very well indeed but next day barely anything.
This is incredibly frustrating because I know I can get fast charge to work but the lead I got originally with the phone is falling apart now. Honestly have no idea how to solve this.
