I noticed we don't have any threads about Eco Mode. I would like to hear other users feedback / experiences?
My experience:
I turned on Eco Mode earlier this morning and haven't notice any difference performance wise. Battery wise I have seen about a 10% difference to what I would be about now. (10 hours and down to 65%, whereas I probably would be down to ~55%). From what I understand Eco Mode shuts down 2 cores, essentially making it a dual-core. I ran two quadrants (Not that these matter) with Eco Mode off 7500, and with Eco Mode on 5500 (2000 difference). I also played some games and couldn't notice anything. Honestly, I wouldn't even be able to tell if it was on or off without doing a quadrant.
Based on my experience with Eco Mode I would recommend it be turned on. At the end of a charge cycle there is potential to save 20% battery life at no cost to performance (visually). As always YMMV.
For the most part I don't see much difference. I know the phone runs cooler most of the time and a tad bit more battery life. A little bit if screen lag sometimes with it on. Most of what you will ever do with this phone won't need 4 cores so it's a nice addition.

The thing is, they need the source code for that. Don't think LG has given up the source code for their kernel yet.

I hope we see this as well. I read a review of the Nexus 4 a bit ago over at Ars Technica, at one point they compared the performance of it to our LGOG and found the Nexus 4 faster "out the gate" but would stutter after being under load for a while (think playing a somewhat graphically intensive game). The reviewer concluded the kernels used in the Nexus 4 allowed the processor to run full boar without much of a governor so it would start to approach the thermal barrier and subsequently hindering performance. The LGOG kernels, however, were more restricted and allowed for more substantiated performance, resulting in better battery life and a cooler phone.
See review here:
arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/11/nexus-4-two-thirds-of-a-great-phone/
I remember reading that article, too. I don't think LG gets enough credit for their Android "skin" and the thought they put into this phone. It's not perfect, but they did a really good job in my opinion.
A
I really do believe that Google rushed android 4.2. They should have added some kind of power management to the Nexus 4...
that which the hardware people giveth...the software people taketh away.
or...
you may not need all four cores today, but before end of life i'll bet you're glad you have em. i remember folks saying "what on earth would you need 512K of RAM for?" and "Why did you get a 100GB Hard Drive, you'll never need all that space."
Will Eco Mode keep your phone in dual-core mode no matter what, or does it dynamically turn cores on/off based on what you're doing?
It's dynamic AFAIK.

The os is the biggest battery user only because the screen is using very little power by comparison, skewing percentages.

I would be guessing as many people have complained about AndroidOS being out of control. However, what I was referencing was my post just above that where I said AOS should never be "MY" biggest source of battery consumption. If I get 3.5 hours of screen-on time, the battery would necessarily use more power than anything else unless there is an issue. No matter when I measure the battery stats, android os is the biggest consumer of battery. Right now I have 5hrs 35mins of charger. 23% screen power consumption with 2hrs 5 mins on time. However, I've 41% android battery consumption with on time of 3hrs 43 mins. It's a ROM or kernel thing. Not blaming our devs, they're doing the best with what they have released to them. However, there is something wrong as we should all be getting better battery life than we are with this size battery.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
After having several android devices, I know that if screen on time is over 2.5 hours it should always be the highest battery usage. Also, Android OS should never be above 20%. If it is, there is a problem.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
If you look at battery posts from nexus 4 users. You will see their android os % at about 6 where ours is usually 40%. Its definitely a software issue.

So I've been struggling with battery life on this rezound since I purchased it. It does get hot every now and then sometimes for no reason. I was waiting for aosp to come along to determine if it was just sense or the phone itself but since its not fully operational and makes my rezound hot as hell, I've stuck with sense roms for my day to day. The following screen shots are venom Rom desensed by me, including no weather, or facebook. The only thing syncing manually is gmail. That's it. No gaming here either. Downloaded a 7mb song, listened to mp3s with headphones and cruised the web a bunch.

That's about what I had using viperrez, although it seems your phone is discharging quickly when screen is off. I'd recommend under clocking when screen off to about 500mhz that works for me. Doesn't help with the screen on time though

1.) sense 4 is a MAJOR battery hog. id advise not to use ut unless your showing off
2.) i usually get 2hrs screen on, so id say NOT defective
3.) if you want like an extra 30-60 mins, try aosp. its fast and good on battery
hope this helps

Most likely yes, isn't the extended battery 1.5x? Either way, battery consumption is hard to perfect. Like I said maybe underclock or find a battery saving build. Prop script to try I know system tuner pro has one built in.

How long was your screen on? If 1.5 hours or so, I would say your close to normal depending on what you were doing.
Get Better Battery Stats and see how long your phone is in Deep Sleep..and if not very long, you can see what is keeping it awake..
I didn't use it at all; I checked it after first block and it had lost about 10 percent. Then I checked it after second and that's what it was at

Your pic says the screen took 44% of the power. Consider the signal strength in your school. If you have a weak signal the phone uses more power. Maybe try airplane mode for part of the day. Also, I have found I get better battery life on the network as opposed to my school's wireless. The school's wireless is always polling the phone resulting in greater drain.
Here's the link to Better Battery Stats on XDA... FREE XDA versions are found at the bottom of post #2. I/We don't have your phone so other than general statements we are of little help. Get BBS and see what is using the juice...that's how I found out the school's wireless was waking my phone all the time.

well from what i see you have google now or some transit app running. those tend to take up a ton of battery. use the bettery battery stats that someone posted and see whats running. once you find out you can use an app like autostarts to keep stuff like that not running when it doesnt need to.
Also another way to tell whats running is to go to settings > apps > running. if you see a process you dont like running just kill it and try to stop it with autostarts. I know from experience that facebook is one of these pain in the a$$ apps that always wants to be running for some god forsaken reason. Anyway just start with that. thats probably your main problem as i can also see you have juice defender, which is probably helping battery.
There wasn't a download for it; only someone's text information. Does anyone have an APK for it? I don't have the money for it Before school starts tomorrow I'll be sure to kill running apps. Also, I wasn't on the school's Wi-Fi at any point because we don't have Wi-Fi, my high school is poor. Lol

autostart app won't run in foreground so you don't have to kill it. it'll stop access as it needs to based on what you disabled from automatically starting. be careful what you prevent from starting up cause it can defect your setup requiring a fresh flash install
This is my battery life just a few minutes before I posted it yesterday; I took it off the charger at the same time. For some reason yesterday the android system ran much longer than today; the difference is obvious on my battery life.

A good thing to do would be, charge it Friday night, take it off the charger Saturday morning and let it sit on the counter of 1 hour, preferably 2 hours, then check to see what has been waking it up. You can google what you find to determine what process they're related to if not obvious to you.
My battery life so far. WiFi on while at apartment since I have spotty connection. Used GPS for about 20 min and listened to Pandora for 1.75hrs. Brightness auto at 40%. Using fast dormancy .apk enabled.
I feel like this is pretty good batt life for moderate usage. Maybe this will give some sort of base to someone who feels they have a bad battery.

Basically, as soon as I pulled it out of the box, I drain the battery until it turns itself off, then recharge from there. I do this cycle for at least a full week...drain to empty, charge to full.....I actually did it for about 10 days with this device. Essentially, I treat it like an old ni-cad battery for that first week.
There is absolutely NO science or expertise behind this. I know a lot of people say that lithium batteries don't require it and it doesn't affect it, but its something I do....and it definitely can't hurt.
Except only that it does hurt Li-on and Li-Po batteries

Try Greenify. Basically the same thing but you can put any app into hibernation. I've noticed a huge increase in battery in just 24 hours as it seems apps like Maps and YouTube are constantly running in the background. Android System under battery usage is very minimal with Greenify disabling apps. Will shut off the background processes of your choice a little after you turn the screen off.

Well, I feel it does its job well. The point is to be efficient as possible depending in usage. No matter what, it isn't gonna give you hours of extra on screen time.

So far, I haven't used my phone much other then to read some texts, emails and xda and this is what my battery looks like right now.

Last day without Battery Guru I had 7% remaining after 15 hours and 53 minutes. First day post-learning mode, I had 13% remaining after 15 hours and 49 minutes with 3 hours and 3 minutes of screen on time. Sadly, I didn't have the correct app to determine how much screen on time I had on the first measurement, but I use my phone about the same way every day.
My biggest complaint with Battery Guru is it forces WiFi on when I'm on the road. I'm not seeing a big enough improvement to get excited about and think that me just toggling WiFi on my own will be just as effective.
On a side note, my daughters phone had 3 hours of screen on time and her phone lasted only 11 hours. She has the Droid Razr HD which comes with a 2530 mAh battery whereas the DNA only has 2020 mAh. Quite impressive for the DNA especially considering the larger, true HD screen and quad core processor.

Sadly, I didn't have the correct app to determine how much screen on time I had on the first measurement, but I use my phone about the same way every day.
My biggest complaint with Battery Guru is it forces WiFi on when I'm on the road. I'm not seeing a big enough improvement to get excited about and think that me just toggling WiFi on my own will be just as effective.
On a side note, my daughters phone had 3 hours of screen on time and her phone lasted only 11 hours. She has the Droid Razr HD which comes with a 2530 mAh battery whereas the DNA only has 2020 mAh. Quite impressive for the DNA especially considering the larger, true HD screen and quad core processor.

You can turn off Wi-Fi management by going into the app's settings. Learning mode came off for me yesterday and my God has it made a difference. You know I forgot to charge again lol.

Will I have to restart learning mode if I flash a new ROM?

Simple answer...yes, you will need to download the app again and it will go through a learning period.
Perhaps I'm blind but in the usage statistics I don't see screen on time. I know its gotta be there.

This app really helps my battery life. I'm still on learning mode too

It doesn't start saving battery until after the learning phase I'm pretty sure. Might just be the placebo effect.
