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?

what is the software version?

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 |

ebay.com/itm/Extended-Battery-Cover-Door-Case-LG-Thrill-4G-P925-3500mAh-/190612531687#ht_2147wt_1392
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.
So I typically root almost all my android devices once I get them. My Infinity was the first device I tried keeping stock unrooted as long as possible. I will be honest with saying that there were some times that I didn't even think about the fact if it was rooted or not. Unlike my phone I really only use it for class from time to time to take notes and mostly read books/comics or play games. However, I was utterly floored by the speed difference that my friend got out of his by rooting his. He picked up a TF700 about a month ago from ebay and rooted it the other day. We then spent yesterday testing it out with similar loads. His battery life was about an hour better than mine doing relatively the same thing (head to head gaming), watching netflix, and browsing a few comics. What really got me was the speed and decrease in lag. Honestly I didn't even realize the lag was so bad on mine (I guess I had grown use to it) compared to his.
So my question is this: Would I get even better performance / stability / battery life out of changing the rom to say Cyano or Paranoid or is the stock ROM minus the apps and a few tweaks from the threads the best I am going to get?
If anyone has any expriences they are willing to share with me I would greatly appreciate it.

I personally like Cromi/Cromi-X. I used Cyano for a while but settled on Cromi for the speed. Cromi is based on stock and optimized for speed, so if don't care about additional customization, I would say go for Cromi. But you will lose your warranty if you unlock the tablet to install custom ROMs. Not sure about stability/battery life improvements but I've never had issues with either on Cromi.

This is my two cents. Any custom rom and kernel that you pick will be faster than the stock. I am using Cromi X 4.7 and Hund 3.3.2. I believe that they are very major and stable. The battery life is depended on how you set your device up. Wifi and screen brightness are the most battery consumptions of all. You can go to the wifi advance setting and set it to never use wifi during sleep. You can lower the brightness of your screen unless you are outside to use the ips+. You can also set your turn off screen to one or two minutes before it goes to sleep. With all of that can give more battery back. You will be happy with Crmi X with your choice of kernel..

I wanted to thank both of you for all the help that you have provided. This was great advice and Cromi-X works amazingly. While I was drawn to CM by its features, trying out the speed of Crom definitely was a high point for me. The difference from the stock (even stock rooted with apps pulled) and Crom is night and day.

To start this thread off, I will start by saying ying I am not bashing the developers in any type of way, just giving people my perspective and opinion.
Hello guys,
Let me start by introducing myself. I'm not new to this forums, ask many questions and do lots of research and from my research here is my conclusion.
People normally say they want a custom, stock feel of an android and that's why they flash rooms. If you want a pure droid feel get a Nexus device simple as that. Why flash a rom that takes away originality from the device? Things like S Voice, Samsung Watchon, multi window mode, WiFi calling and etc are very useful in everyday life. It's also what makes the phone better than an iPhone in opinion, the only advantage I see with roms are slight speed advantages and honestly, it isn't by much. I feel like roms are only better for games but if you're rooted, you can over clock your phone when you're playing games and problem solved.
I didn't go too much into detail, just stated a few reasons. Feel free to drop your opinions though, I'd like to hear why some of you think custom roms are better.
i rooted my s3 for the first time a few weeks ago, and the main reason was because i wanted the new 4.4 and heard that it wasn't going to come out for a LONG time through an official update. i was leaning towards buying the nexus 5 but when i found out i could flash a custom rom i tried it right away. i'm extremely happy with my decision because the new rom has been stable and makes the phone brand new again. like you mentioned, its much snappier without all the extra samsung extras.

Actually, you can. I've overclocked my phone lol.
It's not just for better performance but in custom ROM everything is better, such as battery life, it's the most important thing after performance.
You can also take the full control of the device after root and install a custom ROM. Games also is very important point for huge number of android user, because the stoke (original) android system cannot run games as smooth as custom ROMs.
Another reason is the lag, lag is a big problem in any android environment and up to now there is no solution for that, however, custom ROMs reduce the lag and make a better feeling for the user.

Not in all cases a ROM makes for better performance, and in some cases it actually makes it worse if the ROM is not properly configured. But a ROM can give the device a plain android version without the bloat software from the device manufacturer, thereby increasing performance and stability. In most cases I don't think it increases performance over plain android other then giving access to overclocking and scheduling options
Hi there,
I am sort of new to rooting and have never installed a custom android operating system or ROM yet. I would like to put on something with Android 5.0 if possible, but if none are out yet, which is the best ROM to put on my LG G3, and a tutorial to do it?
I want to use all of the eatures of the phon still as well.
Are there lollipop ROMS out yet for this phone, and if not should I wait for it?
Thank for your help.

I too am using Cloudy and find that the top half of the phone doesn't heat up as much. There's an eco mode you can turn on as well. Not sure it that's what's going the trick, but I've kept it on because the battery life is great now.
As for the lag, have you tried flashing Pure Performance X? It's made all the ROMs I've tried snappier (including Cloudy).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...s/mod-pureperformancesx-zeno-edition-t2360985
I'm using Viper for my third day now. The first day the battery drained really fast as google processes was raelly active, but the last two days ive gotten over 4 hours of screen on time easily and it's definitely been an improvement over stock for me. I havent played any games but phone did not get hot watching youtube vids.
I am not familiary with pure performance X, looks interesting though.
Hi all
i had my OPO for 2 months now
and i decided to root my phone and try some custom ROMs and kernels since they're so popular , so last month i rooted my phone and take a spin on those famous ROMs and kernels ( partly is also the touchscreen issue and random reboots are driving me nuts ) i won't specify what ROM or kernel i am using though
first impressions when i had a new ROMs is that , there's nothing much that is different i though things would be faster snappier with a new kernel built in but ...my OPO did not , my phone did get more stable but it did suffer from multigesture issue once and force rebooted 3 times in the span of 1 month , but the biggest issue is that my phone keeps getting systemui has stopped working , multitasking button gets bugged one too many times , wallpapers constantly missing when i unlock my phone and animations are very clunky
so yesterday i decided to go back to stock just to remind myself how stock feels , using NANdroid backup i restored everything and...
stock 44s feels so much better compared to custom ROMs which begs the question
why do people deviate from stock ROM on OPO ? stock cm is pretty sweet , I understand rooting the phone to get xposed etc but custom ROMs just don't feel right on the OPO ...so is it just me ?
still props to all the devs out there , no offense just my 2 cents
I think if varies for the phones and locations, but I was getting some pretty beastly battery life, smooth/fast experience with vanir and Franco. For some reason I just didn't like stock and was not getting as great battery life. I've tried many things and some are good, but there are better (to me at least). I'm just running Lollipop now and can't seem to go back to kk.
It all comes down to ones preference really...
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
wait , isn't cm12 for OPO currently a little unstable? i really wanted to give it a shot but i fear that it is too unstable for a daily driver
Working fine for me; I don't think it is to the point where it can't be a daily driver. I'm really liking it so far, the Lollipop experience feels really nice and smooth.
Check comments from others on the threads to see the kind of issues they're having. Devs are doing daily builds so as days pass it gets better and better.

Sounds like you didn't do any kernel configurations at all to experience changes.
On AK, with Synapse and UKM, you can change numerical values to configure how the phone handles processes. Default kernel settings aren't optimum for every phone.
My settings consist of: slim (300-2457), CPU boost driver (10ms, 1574MHz, 30ms, 1190MHz), CPU Volt (-35mV), I/O sio @ 1536KB read ahead, drop caches, laptop mode, Vibrator at 25, Fast Charge at 1500mA, C1 (Retention) disabled, 120 second Wifi Scan interval.
With those settings, it makes a HUGE difference compared to stock, as well as fix bugs (screen artifact/tearing) before they were fixed on the latest firmware, and increases battery life by 1.5 times stock.

I have the same questioning but without any problems that you had/have/ My phone works perfectly ( crossing fingers ) and i've had it since July. I always used to ROM my S3-S4-S5 to get a new feel of the phone, but with the Oppo i don't see the reason to. Maybe it's because CM is pretty near pure stock Android, and that's what we get when we switch ROMs on big brands.

OP, it is not just you. Folks who mess about with custom ROMS, as the other posts here share, do so because they can customize the total phone experience, leaving things off, and putting other items on, to their liking. Giving that the background OS is stable, and the apps a person selects are stable, there should be little to no difference in 'performance', overall, due to the apps. However, you may get performance differences because there are less TSR's currently running in your system, so more memory is available, etc, which can make mainline apps run faster.
So many reasons to do custom apps.
As you said, and I agree, CM is a nice, generally smooth OS/ROM. I am coming from an LG G3, which I like very much, but to customize (remove all the junk), and fine tune (remove Google calling home = less battery live, etc), it take's some time to setup those conditions. With CM, most of the junk is not present at the onset (AT&T largely). Much more clean. I would like Google to be disassociated from CM completely, so that it is an add on only, providing better control of the base CM. I would like this in an official CM ROM/official variation.
That is the reason I have/am switching over to the OnePlus. I have tried a few custom ROMs as well, and the stock CM seems to have the best stability, reliability and consistency, to date. I suspect that will change when a large update comes out, such as L, and a great amount of energy goes into that development. I just changed from 38 to 44 last night on three OPO's. It took 5 minutes, or so, a piece, and all of the data/previous apps, setup etc, stayed with the updates, making for an all too easy update.
Awesome. Next will be "L". I will wait for the CM official, as that will likely be the most stable, as I suspect it is getting the most attention from the CM team, at this time. CM is a pretty nice OS.
