Good Battery Result?

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

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.

Three hours of on screen time and 7 hours total is normal in my experiances with ics!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

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?

16 hrs on HFP CM7.2 still 57 percent left.

Did you use your phone a lot? I can pull of 16 hours if I never touch my phone. You need to give details.

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.

Why does it seem like my battery sucks. Or at least when i listen to tune in radio at work. 8am ill be at 100% and if i listen to radio for a couple hours by 12 noon ill be at 15%. 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.

I took it off the charger at 6:30, used it until 8:30, turned it off until 12:30, had a good signal until 6:00, had bad\no signal until 10:00.

Actually I do always hit the home button, to get from one app to launcher to another app, ext. If nor home, how do u get out of the app? Back button?

Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda premium

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.

Battery life

Ok so I have a question? Can someone explain to me how they are getting great battery life...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Today was my best day yet. I updated to 1.85 via RUU and then flashed CleanRom 2.5.5 yesterday. Today I was on it literally all damn day and had over 3 hrs screen on time with 8hrs off the charger before I hit 60% battery. That was with a ton of web browsing, FB, xda app. Made some calls and used skype for a while too. I'm sure I could have hit 5 hrs easy if not more on the charge but I plugged it in when I got in my car. I thought I had good battery life before but that blew my mind.

Nothing special. Brightness at 33%, autosync is on, hotmail set for every 15 minutes... Not using twitter or any other funky accounts. I used autostarts to prevent a bunch of crap from running on its own but that's about it. I wasn't even trying to get that battery life, it just happened. Was using the phone pretty much business as usual.

Here are settings on my phone. And, I am down to 87% with 55 min screen usage (surfing xda) and 2 hour idle.
I don't use any 3rd party taskers/battery savers etc. Also, I don't download an app that is just a mobile website. I noticed that some apps are badly coded and consume more battery than their mobile site. Browser is optimized well. Also, default browser is better to juice than Chrome Beta.
Brightness % toggle is set for 10 25 50 100. I mostly use 10 25 and 50.
I keep data off when at home or work - 90% of the day.
I use fm radio app rather than streaming radio app - tune in when I can. Saves a tonne of battery.
Rooted on 1.73, debloated.

Haha nope not quite we mean like tap the "screen" entry so we can see how many hours of screen-on time you've had, and also possibly tap the usage graph then it shows when your phone was awake, when WiFi was on/off, when it was charging etc.

As much as I do like the phone. I'm quite annoyed at the battery life and am thinking of ways to improve it and etc. but it doesn't seem to be working. I get like 8 hours and by then it's at 30% MAX. Usually around like 20 or so. 10 hours and it's pretty much dead. Am I doing something wrong? my screen is only on for about an hour and a half or so, maybe 2 hours. Lowest brightness setting, 4g off, 2g on, wifi on.. that's about it. I mean as much as I love HTC, I can't love this battery life...

Yes you're doing something wrong or have a faulty unit. Make sure you flash a good ROM (I'm using aokp) and that's it. I have my screen at about 25% brightness and here are my stats which is quite acceptable.

This was back on CM. That rom game amazing batt life.
I don't have the screen time pic but it was just over 4 hours. Still had 1/5 of the battery left too! With this phone I just leave gps, wifi, antenna and sync on. It's so rare for me to NOT last a full day that I see no point in being conservative about use anymore.

AT&T LG G Flex 2 lag??

So I have been reading through some of the Q&A posts here & I have read several conflicting reports of the G Flex 2 & the lag issue.
One thing that seems consistent is that the G Flex 2, with 3GB of Ram doesnt lag, or its nowhere near as bad as it is on the 2GB versions.
Can anyone with a AT&T LG G Flex 2 confirm this?
Everyone that has been complaining about the lag are from all over the world & I know a lot of the European carriers got the 2GB of RAM version for whatever stupid reason. I really want to get this phone & sell of my iPhone 6+, if anyone has a decent answer & is using this phone on AT&T (or even in the US, since i know sprint has it), do you still experience terrible lag? Thanks!

Confirmed att variant and no lag. Even when I play graphic intensive games and it gets a little warm no lag.

I have the AT&T version and it has no lag. In Fact it's actually insanely fast and it multitasks really well. I'm surprised at how many apps can stay open in the background and I can still go back to them without having them to reload. One time I played minecraft with my kid and the next day he was able to log back into my minecraft server without me having to open minecraft because it was still running in the background from the previous day. I have an ipad air and it refuses to run minecraft in the background. Actually I can't think of much other than music that it'll keep running in background. But overall I have no complaints with the performance on this phone.

Awesome thanks you guys! This is good to know. Display models in stores are kind of hard to tell because they usually have every single piece of bloat ware running in the background & it's hard to get a true feel for what it's like In day to day use unless you freeze/force close all the apps.
How is battery life for you guys? It's not that big a deal to me if the phone doesn't last 2 days. As long as it can make it from beginning of the day until the end under light use I'm fine with that. Also I'm not one of those people who constantly leaves GPS & sync on (only when I need it)

When using xda or light Web browsing it drains at 6 to 12% per hour. When doing lots of heavy Web browsing and using multiple apps at once it can drain up to 25% per hour. While watching videos about 13% per hour and while sleeping I see 1.5 to 3% per hour.

Hello. H955 user here .
I can confirm that I dont have any lag, even when playing high graphics games. everything runs great, I have 54000 in Antutu and 22000 in 3d mark Ice Storm Unlimited. Actually, in Ice Storm Extreme, almost everythin is maxed out, which is just..Well great ! Would like to get the 3gb version though, but i cant seem to find any in my country. Battery lasts for one day, with couple of maches played in WOT. The only thing that annoys me sometimes is yellow stains on screen that can be seen only in grey backgroud, but that is it..Other than that, hopefully a 5.1 update will come soon and we can pump up more juice from our devices )
