I have a LG optimus One P500 with 2.3.3 stock OS and i have high battery consumption . i check the battery status in the morning and it shows that cell standby and phone idle takes 45 - 50% after 1d and 6h .
Is this normal ? It happens every one or two days. So when i go to bed the device is charged but in the morning i have 75% of battery left.
excuse my english !
P.S. with only 3 or 4 apps installed ! that does not cosume battery .
Please help or advice!
Hmmm doesnt seem normal.I get just 1-2% battery drain overnight,but i have rooted my phone and installed franko gb kernel.U can read the guides and try installing this kernel.
P.S:I also had somehow high battery drain with stock kernal,but not as much as yours.
I had a similar situation once. I fixed it by copying all the files off the SD card, format the card (using the menu on the phone settings-storage-format) then copy the data back.
It appears a something was going wrong with the card.

thanks i will try this at first and see if the problem is solved . If not i dont know...
It drains battery on GB !(Lg Optimus One P500)
So after 13 hours my battery was at 19% on my Lg P500
I checked in Settings/applications/Battery use and guess what :
Cell stanby 31%
Phone idle 30%
voice calls 39% , and when i tapped the meter on top of the display to see the graffic i found out that the line assigned to "awake" it is uninterrupted.
And now after 1 hour after charging the battery use section : cell standby 50%
phone idle48% and display 4% ! AND all the lines in graffic are also uninterrupted.
ADVICE NEEDED !

If the Awake bar is uninterrupted, then some background apps are running continuosly in the background, even when the phone's screen is off. This should not happen unless you have turned ON data-sync and if you've applications which try to connect to internet every 10 mins like facebook, twitter. Check these. You can see what are all the applications running in the background in Settings -> Applications -> Running Services
Yeah...such applications do sync often and you have to make sure that they dont sync every 30 mins for example.
Having root and installed setcpu could makes such differences, for instance, you could make a custom Sleep profile, which undervolt your cpu frequencies when the display is off. Having this and your phone could get enough sleep while you were

Did you transfer songs or any other media recently? My stock phone had a bug wherein a new media transfer would trigger an unending SD Card scan which would suck battery like Ms. Jameson.
I solved it by deleting those files.

How did you discover that this bug was active? Would it actually keep saying Scanning SD Card or something? Because I have had noticeably higher battery drain just yesterday after transferring all my old files back into a newly partitioned card + newly flashed ROM. Just using the ROM and card before moving the files gave me a maximum of 1 day and 5 hours... Today it went to 50% in 8 hours.
I did but by usb cable. After that i erased all data.
Today after 12 hours i have 76% left . It's very strange! Do you have an explanation? I wonder.
Thanks

Oh so that worked? Great.
I was testing a friends music player app when it happened to me. I told him that his album art rendering was very buggy, so we both ended up investigating and he found that the stock rom was performing continous scans. I didn't see icons or anything.

How can you tell if your phone is continuously scanning the sd card?
We at caynogen mod 7 enjoy the sleep button about zero percent change in sleep mode ...its great .. well I was no help to you but I hope you fix your problem

Indeed it's drained battery terribly after upgrade stock rom to official version 2.3.3 (V20D in my country). I have the same problem as well. I found it 25% battery life gone after 4 hours from fully charged status before upgrading to version V20D. I did try playing or testing the GPS & data network 2G (GSM) around after done upgrade. Previously in V20G Android version 2.2.2, 1 full day drained battery for about 30% only.
I have tried GO Launcher EX app before on v2.2.2. I wonder if I should install this launcher app again. Will Launcher app drain more battery life or save power battery? Seeking any recommendation from xda experts here. Please advise.
Thank you.
drains no more
Now that you have 2.3.3 you must kill some apps . try in settings/apps/running and see what apps are active ,then you go to all apps and close apps that are running.
In my case google maps , facebook , yahoo mail and another 2 apps drained my battery . So i closed them and it's ok ! Now every time i use them i stop them after.

if you Maps installed then Uninstall it.
it starts up any time it wants and takes a lot of battery.
Hello.
First I would like to thank istoner for the this great advice. I had the same problem with my optimus one and this helped me a lot.
I just bought the phone a week ago and about 3 days ago i installed winamp app and transfered a few mp3's on the sd card. Just last evening, when i stumbled into this topic, I realised that my high battery drain problem started just after i did the fore mentioned changes to my phone.
Yesterday(data from "Battery use" in Settings) with ~14h since full charge i had like 20% battery left with moderate use during day. So after that, I followed this advice and removed the whole folder from sdcard containing the mp3's and let the phone charging over night again. I used the phone with the same moderation as yesterday. As i'm writing this i'm reading from "Battery use" a 13h 52m uptime since last full charge and my batter is at 74% percent left.
I can't tell you how glad i am i stumbled into this topic. I was just ready to uninstall all my apps and possibly get the phone in service.
I find this a somewhat important problem of the cellphone and i think more users should be informed about this. Could be a nice addition to some faq/tips and tricks topics.
I still have a couple of questions though and i hope someone will be nice enough to answer them.
What could be the cause of this problem? The android os(upgraded official 2.3.3 from stock 2.2.*), the phone's hardware or the sdcard?
What is there to do if I, let's say, go on a trip and i need some music to listen to on my phone?
Thank you.
i highly recommend to FREEZE it using titanium backup pro..
den unfreeze it if your gonig to use it
Afaik Titanium Backup is for rooted phones. Mine is not, as i said i'm using official 2.3.3. I don't know if i'm gonna root it atm just for using titanium backup.
I still hope there is another workaround that doesn't involve rooting the phone.

Hi everyone.
I'm new here, also I'm not so good at english, but I'll try to explain my problem:
Recently I installed CM7.2 on my SK17i, and everything on the flashing process was fine, until I checked out the battery.
When I used the stock GB or ICS rom from Sony, the battery of my phone last about 1 day and a half o 2 days. Now with CM7 the battery last 1 day, or maybe less.
In battery use, cell standby and Phone idle have 50 and 50%
I think is the baseband, because I tried some of the tips or solutions mentioned here in XDA but none of them worked.
What can it be the problem?
Thanks!
okay , i have been using my desire for almost 2 years now. and i rooted it almost 2 years back so here are the specifications.:-
Htc desire (rooted)
ext4 recovery .
ROM- Mildwild V-4.3
Kernel- Thalamus r4
now heres the problem.. my battery Automatically shuts down at 30%-40%. AND I HAVE TRIED ALL SORTS OF CALIBRATION TUTORIALS.(believe me!)
i have been using various roms and various kernels . but since the last 6 months..after i used miui and also during miui. battery started this. i dont know what problem there might be . KERNEL? BATTERY? anything else
Q. is my Kernel compatible with my rom?
AND the WEIRD PART=== " IF I CHARGE MY PHONE TILL SAY 80% OR 70% THE BATTERY LASTS TILL 1% .. AND ANYTHNG MORE THAN THAT(charging..eg 100% or 90% or even 81%) IT WILL DISCHARGE BETWEEN 30% -40%.
can anyone please solve this is cant really keep on doing this with the charge thiing ..my battery problems are killing me.
I bought an LG Optimus L9 P768 from a friend (my 1st smart phone ever), who has updated it to JB. I noticed that the battery behavior is not usual; I charge the phone about 3 times daily with only minimal 3G internet browsing and few calls. After some googling, found that some people reported the same battery drainage directly after the JB update.
My questions:
01- Has there been any update or patch to solve that battery problem?
- checking from the phone returns "You are using the latest software version for current OS."
- using LG Mobile Support Tool yields " Your device has the latest software available from the LG Mobile Support Tool"
"Software version V20A" (SCREEN ATTACHED)
02- As an Android primitive caveman, the 1st thing that came to my mind to revert the phone to ICS. Using "Update Recovery" in LG Mobile Support Tool.
- After asking me for my IMEI, it downloaded a 500+ file, then failed TWICE at 5%. (SCREEN ATTACHED)
03- I stumbled on [GUIDE] FLASH Any LG Factory ROM (kdz) WITH OFFLINE FIX METHOD [UNBRICK], but I cannot figure out how to get the official stock roms.

3A- Will any rom with the same model, i.e. p768, work regardless to the country?
3B- I also found THIS but the website looks suspicious, doesn't it? tried downloading that one from United Arab Emirates section, as it's the closest to Egypt where I bought the phone with it's working warranty in country, but I always get "Size mismatch after 23%".
NOTE:
- I'm not in love with ICS or even the official roms in general, I just want my battery to last as it should be without any weird application behavior.
- Any suggestion with any trusted custom roms are much appreciated as long as the battery will work properly.

Charge phone to 100 but leave it charging then factory reset and remove cable. Tell me if you see any difference in drainage after a few hours.

Despite of the fact that I did a factory reset before starting this thread, I did it again as you described with the cable on and then removed it. Unfortunately, the problem still persists. Using Opera mini on a 3G connection with 50% brightness drains the battery on the rate of 1% every 3-4 mins.
not sure about the battery problem only being with jb. but i could surely help you with rolling back to ics
and the website you found for lg firmwares is perfect. i guess everybody on the forum uses this website.

I succeeded in reverting back to ICS stock rom (downloaded a random 10A one from that page), followed cmahendra's guide and the unusual Cell Standby percentage is gone. But my impression is that the battery usage is still relatively high; why don't we, L9 users, make a standardized battery benchmark? using Antutu Tester for example, so that we don't rely merely on impressions.
I'll start by sharing mine. (See the attachments)
I know it cannot be that accurate due to different ram and cpu usage, which Antutu cannot control, but at least gives an approximate picture.

Hi, I'm havin the same battery drains after JB update, specially from cell and phone idle (ridiculous). I did the Antutu test: full charge, begin test and I lefted it with no use overnight; and I scored 463 (aprox in the middle of the chart).
How old is ur phone?

Original date of purchase is in last April, then I bought it in August from a friend. I don't think it's old enough to cause this unusual battery drain. Don't you think so?

I tested with Antutu again and the score decreased; 1st time (on ICS) was 399, 2nd (on ICS) 370, 3rd (on JB) 326. I think we need more users to share their test results.

Yeah, more results would be useful. I asked the LG support for help with this problem, they haven't answered me yet... I'll tell you if they do.
Solution?
Hi, I tried something that worked for me. I did this 2 days ago and yesterday I went from 100% battery at 9 am to aroud 40% at midnight. Apparently the battery needs to get calibrated after the update. Anyways, what I did:
Use your phone normally until battery gets depleted and the phone turns off by itself.
Then plug in the charger and turn it on again (you have to wait until the yellow icon dissapears)
After I turned on I saw that the battery was around 25%, wich was ridiculous considering it was depleted and it was charging only for 5 minutes, so I plugged off the charger and let it reach 1%
When almost depleted and before it turns off again plug it in and let it charge for a while (I left it overnight)
After that the battery estarted to work like before the update to JB. Phone and cell idle are still the most consming apps though, but well...
It's 2 days after that and battery is working fine, I'll update you if anithing changes.
PD: no word from the LG support... -.-

Can you test using Antutu Tester and post your phones score here?
I am so close to throw this piece of **** for a phone out the window
my first and last LG purchase
I just got a Verizon V10 from someone and everything seems to be working fine except the battery drains VERY fast, it dropped 10% in about 10 minutes. I have done a Factory Reset and did not install any aftermarket apps but it still did it. The phone is stock and not rooted to the best of my knowledge. I'm assuming it's the battery and I was planning on going to but one tonight online.
My 2 questions are-
1. Does this sound like it's the battery and hopefully not the phone?
2. Should I only but OEM or are there brands that are ok to use?
Any help would be appreciated.
