Hi xda members
Since I didn't get a reply in issue's in GB thread I will make one my own.
it happens to be that my battery life has greatly discreased with the GB update.
Let me tell you what I did
I had a rooted FW of 2.1 because I have read that the update doesn't update with CFW i repaired trough SEUS to stock. I wiped all caches + battery stats and updated this friday to 2.3.3
Now I think my battery still needs time to calibrate again since I wiped stats but here is the strange part.
whenever the phone is on idle the phone only uses about 34mA ( using battery monitor widget ) which is as before noting big . But whenever I go to youtube/ watch mp4 vids it skyrockets to 900mA!? This makes my battery last for 2 hours. The brightness is at it's lowest though and still it consumes so much. before my mA was around 300mA with that kind of usage now it's freaking 900mA !?
Should I relfash wait for the battery to be calibrated again ?
Thanks for you time
bump no one !?
I think this problem is due to original sonyericsson kernel in 2.3.3 that causes the problems, and I think it can be fix it with custom kernel, because the processor is always operating at 998Mhz and 245Mhz little.
look it in cpuspy

Yup downloaded cpuspy and indeed it's always clocked at max speed even when just browsing and stuff going to look to root this device and underclock thanks for the input !
Has this issue been fixed somehow, or addressed? Is it even possible? I'm on WB TW 2.3.3, lovin' it, but battery running down crazy when screen is on. CPUspy does show, though, that when in an application (e.g. Drag Race), the middle CPU frequencies are indeed used.... At the moment I have
1h34 @ 998MHz,
8min @ 768MHz,
6min @ 576MHz,
2min @ 384MHz,
12min @ 245MHz,
30min deep sleep.
So they are not inaccessible... any ideas on how we can get back to normal battery use? CPU profiles etc. of any use?

I am on wolfs rom aswell and calibrating battery as we speak I hope it works
I will keep you posted! Going to stress my x10 for a while and see how the battery goes and post some screenhots when done.
I hope I can fix this with wolfs rom and by underclocking some
ok seems I can get more battery life out of this old sucker
but whenever screen is on it still goes pretty down fast
even on a low brightness I think it's kernel related
do one thing .... charge ur phone to 100% and then reboot in xrec and wipe ur battery stats...then unplug ur charger , remove battery and plug in ur charger and wait 5 seconds, put ur battery and turn on see if the battery is below 5 % ..if its then do full charge until 100%..after that check ur battery how it works ..
i did this thing 2 hrs back my battery ran in 100% for more than and hour with 50% brightness !!
hope it works for u too
Thank me if it worked for u!!
I'm afraid you may still have problems with battery time. I had the same prob. and got the free market app "set cpu", battery time doubled as soon as I set up the app.
Install the app and on the main page set the scaling to "ondemand", then click "set on boot". Set sliders to 245 min. 998 max.
hope this works for you as it did for me.

Have you tried battery calibration app, free the market? It helped me also.
I forgot to mention this in my first post. Also, what update to wolfs rom are you using

Let's see how long this puppy can go without charging.
I'll keep its usage only to phone calls and messaging (which is a lot). It'll be my main phone obviously (and I can't turn it off).
Settings:
a) devoid. rom (link)
b) wifi, gps, 3g, mobile data - off
c) brightness @ minimum
d) auto-sync - off
e) underclocked & undervolted @ 480Mhz (min: 122Mhz)
f) governor set to conservative (still thinking about it)
g) hardware acceleration - off
h) watchdog lite installed (to check for apps gone berserk)
i) load monitor installed (to check for kernel loops and wakelocks)
j) airplane mode when sleeping or at classes, exams or hospital
k) red colored wallpaper (red is in the lower spectrum of visible light EM: higher wavelength, lower frequency, lower energy, lower battery consumption?)
Did I forgot anything?
unplugged
03h30m GMT+0, 12/01/2011
99% battery left
How about the Screen Filter???
LINK AppBrain
It's worth to use it also??
Regards Noein!
You really DO get bored!
You don't seem to have forgotten anything. I don't know if a red wallpaper really helps, since the big consumer is the backlight which you already minimized.
Good luck, I'll be checking this thread to see your record and I hope you are keeping track of how much talk time you get during this experiment.
What about ringtones? Are they on ?

i just did it to my phone.. but with the original stock lg rom. i set all settings to default , no wifi, no gps.... just calls and messages and a little use of mp3's about 1 hour.
the battery is 1%
and i have done 3 days and 2 hours.
1.31 hours of phone calls.
just when i need it..
i had unchecked all sychronization things, apps and i set it to gprs..
without turning off or airplane mode
the brightness was the default.
i thing it can be last longer..

Hmm, well the brightness is already so low :x
Anyway, I have to restart the test.
Underclock and undervolt seems to consume more battery...
I'll unplug @ midnight of 13/01/2011, GMT+0.
Keep us posted.
I've made a Test with Javali, using the LG P500 just for Calls and SMS, and after 48 Hours i still got 60% of Battery.
14 hours ~ 94% battery, without underclock/undervolt or using airplane mode.
i had cpu tuner and it respond so freaking slow...i wanted to save battery but instead ive managed to drain it more faster....

@Noejn: is the test still going on?
this is very interesting !!! all the best Optimus !!
Check my signature
it lasted me 4 days and I had 35% left. I had to do some testing then and had to connect to pc.

Intresting results, not bad for a smarphone! How would you rate your device responsivness do, was it realy sluggish since you undercloaked it?

I didn't underclock it.
I did at first but consumption was higher so I put it back to 600Mhz and restarted the test.
So, by extrapolation, we can assume around 6 days of battery life. Still, without knowing the talktime this is inconclusive.
@Noejn
What about undervolting keeping the same Mhz, is that possible?
@
I never tryed draining compleatly my battery because i keep on pluggin it in my computer to test stuff, but I would be happy if my phone could last aprox. 4days.
@noejn
I read in this forum that you don't have a lgp500. Then how come you are testing its battery and other things.

I'm a long time lurker, first time poster, so please...go easy on me as I'm still trying to figure out the lingo and what not!
Anyhow, I just recently installed V6 and everything is absolutely great - except my battery goes down faster than <insert whatever reference you want here..hockey goalie, boxing, sexual>
I initially tried flashing over V5 and that's when the issue started - V5 was fine the way it was, but was starting to eat up the battery a little quicker - maybe due to a couple of new apps installed? did a full wipe and reinstalled v6 and am experiencing the same issue
I don't know if it's a problem with my actual battery or what...anyone have any suggestions?
Fully charge the battery until the green charged light goes off then reboot into XRecovery and wipe your battery stats.

Alternatively, there's the battery calibration app.
Alternatively, build your own stock ROM. Wolfs ROM has IMHO too many uneccesary tweaks that drain the battery... although his performance ROM has awesome battery (I'm using it right now)... lol I dunno why..

Well its tough to explain u, but use set cpu and reduce the maximum processing speed to 384. The battery will be consumed to the lowest. I have done the same. And my x10 works for min 1.5 day.

um..I have no-frills cpu - figure it's the same, or is set cpu a better app?
max clock freq is at 998Mhz; min at 245; governor is at ondemand (gotta read up on this..) and i/o scheduler is on deadline..should I change any of the other stuff?
thanks!
I use juce defender plus and if needed I could go a couple of days without charging.

Not sure if my problem is the same but my phone WB v6 (even on v5) will turn off when used heavily i guess (less than 5min video games seem to be ok but other apps will do it randomly). but the battery will say like 65% whatever it should be from the use so far after a reboot most of the time i have then same % as before the umm crash but sometimes it shows 25% and turns off then if i leave it for a bet i get back to the higher % but will still crash with a little app use. Frustrating as i LOVE the ROM!
So far no crash during phone calls. But the crashes are no rhyme or reason. I have tried calibrating and full flash but it came back.
(would have posted in the ROM thread but i have too few postes and this seemed a better place)
Hung Wei Lo: which version are you using? Try lowering min frequency, adjust settings (like brightness). I'm on v6 with Freekernel and I get 2-3 days on a full charge. Maybe an app is preventing your phone from entering deep sleep.
Rabbit Stew: are you overclocking? Try a full wipe including battery stats, then installing v6s. The stock version should be the most stable.
Here's two methods that work for me.
To me the battery calibration app, is USELESS, no offence to the developer.
1. Wiping battery stats: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943626
or
2. Optimizing battery with just a charger and phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071885
Don't go anymore then 5 tries.
I figured I'd give an update on this..
Things had magically sorted themselves out - battery life got better and better each day, though not to the point most of you are getting (I'm talking MAYBE 14 hours of minimal usage - the odd facebook check, random text message etc)
As suggested, I've set the min. frequency to the lowest possible, screen timeout is at like 30 seconds
As of the past couple of days, I've been getting half that...no new apps installed all the same settings...wifi is off, brightness is set to 25%, no gps usage all I have on is data. As an example, I charged her up and unplugged it with an hour to go before I was done at work. an hour ride on the subway doing nothing but listening to some tunes, and I'm down to 60%...in two hours
I'm at wits end here...according to cpu spy here are my most recent stats:
998 - 0:01:49 - 35%
576 - 0:00:-4 - 1%
384 - 0:00:03 - 3%
245 - 0:00:52 - 17%
deep sleep - 0:02:11 - 42%
thoughts (related to this issue)? suggestions? ideas?
is calibrating the battery will solve the phone randomly restart??
In my infinite wisdom, I'd have to seriously doubt it...did you do a fresh install?
So, over the past few days I've been noticing a few problems with my phone, all of which have to do with the battery. After installing fauxes OC 1.3ghz kernel I noticed a drop in usages before the phone died, that's a given. So i flashed his enhanced 1ghz kernel instead, but still notice bad battery drops when im using it. It doesn't drop 40% over night or anything, only about 6%. But, if i turn the phone off and back on the % jumps up. Sometimes 20%. Is there anything wrong with the battery, or the phone?
Try calibrating the battery.
i haven't doe that since my first phone. How would i go about doing that.

Also, with faux's kernels check your CPU clocking with setCPU, or something similar. Somtimes it will lock at the max clock speed which will contribute to quick battery drain. I'm on his stock enhanced and getting close to 2 days with moderate use.
How do you get two days of battery?! Thar's intense! I haven't been able to get past the 15 or 16 hours with the stock kernel, neither with faux's stock enhanced! Do you usually drop your cpu speed while it's in your pocket or something? Or do I have a bad battery? Because I've been really concerned about this battery not lasting the monster time it is supposed to last...

I have uv and profiles set up in setCPU. I'm actually a little amazed by how good it's been since re-installing all of my mods (went back to stock recovery due to some issues).
If you're experience battery jumps then install the fix noted in the calibration instructions. Most likely you're battery isn't charging to full capacity, so that coupled with the improperly reported stats make it seem much worse than it is. The process is a bit time consuming, but it did work for me.
Little confused with my battery and SetCPU sitll

Well I have Alien #4 custom rom and it actually has the battery fix so it shows the 1% increase/decrease and I recently did a battery calibration by waiting til it got to 100% with an app that deletes the battery stats as if you would do with recovery mode. I also have CWM recovery and everything doing fine there, my kernel is now Faux's 1.3GHz but limited with SetCPU to 1GHz, and I don't know if it'll get me a better battery life just that kernel. What do you mean by uv? And I have profiles set for when the screen is off and when its charging but nothing else apart from the 1GHz setting. Is it normal that I only have 2 scaling options? Powersave and performace?
Thank you. I will be trying this tomorrow when I have the huge amount of time needed to complete this. And uv means under volt.

Thanks to you! I really appreciate it. I will be waiting for your response and maybe you could tell me if it lasts longer with the 1.3GHz ir the 1GHz. Thanks!!

THIS THREAD IS FOR ALL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DEVELOPEMENT!!!
I think about 50% of the Post´s in Lees Developement Thread are irrelevant vor him. A Developement Thread is for bugreport, for things which doesnt work, ....
And not for: "When is the next release?" "Can you please include this and this ..." "A third parts app is not working" ...... and so on and so on!
Its Lee´s Rom and its his joice what he will include and what not!
So please Guys post here and keep the Developement Thread clean!!!!!
Best reagrds
Can someone confirm, that without the dual core scripts the 2nd core never kicks in? The normal behaviour should be that the 2nd core kicks in when the first core is stressed, e.g. setcpu stress test ore playing a 3D game.
Lee confirmed, that he configured the second core to be not so sensible..and said that he will have a look at the config again.
I think the behaviour of the second core is controlled in the system/bin/mpdecision file...I changed it with one of a Evo 3D cdma rom,after that i saw the first time that my second core kicks in in system tuner, it turned on/off several times - altough it shouldn't be needed.
i think the standard config is too sensible, so it was a good move from lee to lower it - but I think now with the current config it seems that the second core is completly turned off =D
Yep i can confirm! My second score never kicks in! Ive flashed the ondemand patch from first post and undervolted -100 and love the battery life now!

...I don't like the behaviour, that the second core is always on - not very battery friendly
Hope Lee will fix this issue in the next release - hopefully he will use the new base which is flaoting around the gsm forums.

Yeah i know but battery life for my usage is ok! But i know dat right. I really miss 3 days of battery life with my Nexus S! But i know the kernels getting better and better
what do you guys use to change the volt with lee's kernel ?
I am having huge battery drain and cant figure out what it is!?
getting about 100-300 mA in standby 90% of the time and an everything from 450 - 950 mA while using the phone, some times I don't even use any load on the cpu but it still peaks to 900 mA
I am carefully watching a cpu notification while using the phone and it draws usually 300+ mA with max 10 % cpu load with interactive governor
I tried downclock to 192MHz and disabling second core (since it never enables with lee's new rom) and it still uses the exact same mA. so downclock and disabling doesnt help the powerdrain at all
what to do ? just lost about 10 % by 15 minutes of standby !?
my only thought was that the cpu was giving the same voltage no matter what the frequency is, so if there is any app that could change the volt ?
have any of you had huge power drain ? could anyone try to check how much mA your evo uses in standby with the new kernel and rom ?

dont trust the ma values, for me all battery apps are showing 200+ in standby. htc delivers crappy weird ma values and theirs no way to fix that. The dev if battery monitor can confirm that.
...im loosing 1% over night.
Try to reinstall rom without third party app. Are you using htc Mail with exchange - it got a bug which keeps your device awake when in airplane mode.
Theres also an app in the market, where you can check if your phone goes to standby or not..srx dont remember the name - Google it

well have you tried "battery Monitor widget pro" thats the one I am using, it has an fix for evo 3d to fix mA drain
problem is that I calculated the drain by just simple math and it confirms the mA drain ;/ so the program does really appear to be correct
maybe some one else could try "battery Monitor widget pro" and see if they are experiencing the same mA drain with this program ?
but the strange thing is that it wasnt draining so much before the kernel update and rom, and some times it goes down to normal usage but happens rarely
I do not use mail exchange, going to check for the standby program though and try to reinstall without any apps ! thanks for the suggestion

Yeah, know this app but its not working for me, still shows >200 during screen off also with the special evo 3d fix.
..searched about 30 min to find that app:
Cpu spy from market.
it shows you how long your device is on which frequencies or in deep sleep.
Reset the values in the menu and turn your device off. After a minute check the values.

I just tested the cpu spy, and I had the screen off for 5 min, and only deep state was counted, said 90% (5 min)
And 30 second on 192mhz
Seems to be right?
yeah, should be fine. And yourre sure, that you lost 10% of battery in 15min of standby? Try calibrating your battery with battery calibration from market.
charge to 100% and then calibrate.
yes 100 % sure but i wass messing with the the frequency of the cpu , might be what drained the power because today it has been normal standby time
already used battery calibrating, it did get a little better in standby after that.
but i still have huge power drain by just turning on the screen, and typing
i had just sent a couple of messages through "messenger for facebook" throught an hour and it used 20 % battery and I only turned on the screen, unlocked it typed a fast short messages and turned the screen off again a couple of times
I was connected with Edge all the time (gsm) since 3G was turned off to save battery but still huge power drain.
I just feel like every time the screen is on the % start falling fast :s
thats why I wanted to check out undervolting but cant find a app that supports lee's kernel

Use System Tuner from 3c (same dev as battery monitor) to undervolt.
Easy as hell
Haha thanks, lol I had an old version of system tuner that's why I didn't have any voltage control
Seems like my battery life is a bit more normal now, thanks for all the help and time you spent!

Maybe Edge is the problem for your battery-drain! When my Evo is on Edge it needs way more battery as with 3g!
And try to disable "automatic display light" (no plan how it is called in english). I always use the second stage from 4... i hope you know what i mean!

Well I did notice that edge drain at least as much as 3g so no point at disabling 3g, I got my battery a little more stable but still use Huge power drain sometimes
But going to reinstall everything, do a clean wipe and stuff and install only the apps I use not all the cap I got now.
Maybe that will help a bit on the battery
still questioning the LeeDrOiD rom for battery life.
I love the rom but miss battery life, sense 3.5 and the new Android version 4(i know the new android version isn't released for htc evo 3d yet though) but really looking forward to it!
My P760 is heating in the sim card area with almost no use, the battery doesn't get hotter then 38C.
Is this normal?
Can a sim card cause heat?

No, as far as I know there is CPU somewhere nearby and that causes heat. What CPU governon you have? If "performance" you should change it. Also maybe some apps working cause high use of CPU? There can be a lot of reasons. You have to tell us more details such as ROM which you use, if this thing happened from the start etc. For start you can try hard reset and see how it will work.

I have just got it yesterday. I have stock v20h for Europe rooted. My governor is set to interactive.
And if I integrated some app updates into rom, can I use hard reset?
fieldien their
So can I hard reset if I integrated apps into rom?
You can but you will lose them. You will need reinstall them.

I did the hard reset but the problem is still there. Any other ideas?
Install cpu spy from playstore and see speed your CPU works for few hours.

I already have battery stats plus and it says that the cpu stays at 600-1000mhz when the screen is on and in deep sleep when the screen is off.

So how long it stays in 1000 Mhz? Did you try different governon?
8 hours on battery. 37% battery. 37 min at 300mhz. 1h at 600mhz. 9min at 800mhz. 32min at 1ghz. 5h 34min deep sleep. All of these with hotplug governer.

It look everything is fine. Well the last resort is to give your phone to LG service if noone else will write something but I wouldn't bother if it's only heat. My phone sometimes heats up if I watch a lot of videos or something but not in normal use as listening music or surfing in the net so it's still strange.
It start warming fast and it fills like a cold spot. Warm middle cold outise. Also if I tap the back of the phone I can hear a sound like a jingle or a spring.
I have changed my device and this one has the same symptoms. I think that this is a fabrication issue. It is happening also for Nexus 4 (made by LG too). http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40334
