hey guys,
yesterday i set my alarm clock and went to bed (battery level 15%)
today morning i look at my x10 and it was off
started it and the battery level was at 15% again
juice plotter shows a drop to 0% and a jump to 15% when i started the device in the moring
firmware: 026 / rooted
no idea whats wrong with my x10?
Hi man. Your battery will never last through the night if it is 15%.The phone showing that it is 15% when you switched it on in the morning is not a true reflection of the batt. strength. I am charging my phone a least everynite.
I deleted some se stuff including timescape and moxier and i got 2,5 days out of the batt. Deleting timescape was not a good idea but thats another story.
If your batts full and is dead in the morning then I suppose you have a prob.
thx, but my x10 kept up over 4 days since the last update to 026
i was really happy that it kept up more than 2 days but then it had this strange drop
I have experienced this as well, think it had something to do with my wireless though, I turn off Wifi at night. Good luck

Turn off wifi, adjust brightness, down cpu clock. Its work for me^^
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
my brightness is at 20% and my wifi and apns are always turned off
Charge it every night and all your problem about the battery will go away. I do this in every phone that I have before, including this X10...
My X10 uses 3% battery during six hours at night when I turn off Wifi, GPS, BT and set it to GSM only.
Hi folks,
I recently flashed the three files that were needed for the OTA froyo. I am liking the speed so far.
One thing I am noticing though is horrible battery life. I charge my phone fully last night and had it unplugged for 3 hours or so. In that time I fielded one 15min phone call, watched a single YouTube video, and installed a few apps. Phone sat idle for the majorty of that time.
Checked the battery status and saw it was at 60%.
Is this normal? I haven't seen the phone with such poor battery life.
Just curious, thanks.

Ehh my battery life also sucks. Charging process seems to be longer (strangely). And before I know my battery from 100 is 70 and an hour later 40 something.

my expefience: when i charged the phone fully. and plug it off and put it in standby then it will last veeerry long cuz after 12 hours it was still at 100% but when i uses it its draining quite a big fast.
My battery life seems to be improved... which is better than I expected.
I have brightness set at 30% and wifi and 3g off when I use play around with it (not on the internet).
I'm still running 2.3.3 (Original firmware)
For those who ran 2.3.3 and are now running official 2.3.4...was battery life improved?

much better bud...but im on a custom rom and my battery life is even better
3d-6h-4d8h All the time.
Email check every 5 min, twitter check 1h. wifi always on. Phone calls and little other usage.
12 hours before stable normal use. Arround 10 now with 2.3.4.
My battery life got much much worse. No custom roms, everything stock, UK non branded phone. Before upgrade (from 2.3.3.) battery lasted about 12 hrs and still 20% left, after update to 2.3.4. removed from charger at 8 am in the morning and 100% charged, after 10 hrs phone at 7%, same type usage as before, actually even little less.
I am very dissapointed with the battery life after upgrade.
Well this was my first day on the new software, will see tomorrow...
The custom rom is better for you battery life.

2.3.5 is reported to be even better on battery life, have a look around and try a custom rom & kernel, you will notice a difference.

I've seen the same battery life drop on my unbranded UK phone since kies update to 2.3.4. It barely makes it through the day now. Hoping this gets resolved soon, as it seems I've taken one step forward and two steps back.

I agree, battery life is actually worse with the official 2.3.4 update. With 2.3.3 I got around 1d, 12h, now I'm getting less 6-12h than before, with some synching, push email, calls/sms and light browsing. I mostly use stock apps, except the browser (I prefer Opera). I'm not even playing games or anything. Sammy, I'm dissapoint...
At least now the interface is smoother, but overall I'm not happy with the update. Battery life is (or should be) sacred.
No complaints so far getting more juice left after longer period!
+1 for improved battery life. i didn't do any measurements. going from stock 2.3.3 to stock 2.3.4 and battery was noticeably better all day. on 2.3.3 it wasn't great, so i'm happy for any improvement.
Agreed, the idle times are insane. Before I was only able to pull a day with less than 20% battery remaining. Now I'm able to get over a day of battery now and still have 50% battery left-over. Wonder how a movie marathon would fair now, compared to before the update.
I'm on 2.3.5 and my battery is at 70% after a 12+ day. On 2.3.4 it wouldn't last anywhere near that. I was charging twice a day.

Battery life impressive on 2.3.5
I did my first full battery drain and managed to get 1d18h with quite a bit of use. Wifi on all the time. At least 2 hours of talking. I have dimmed my display but thats it.
Definitely better for me on 2.3.4 - no question about it.
Rather than compare my findings with other peoples the only fair thing to do is compare with the level of my 2.3.3 drain previous to updating. My usage is pretty like for like during the week so this makes for a fair comparison.
On 2.3.3. I could get a couple of days use out of it (a few hours of music, heavy twitter, frequent push gmail updates, camera use, calendar use, alarms etc) and be down to about 20% or so and that made it worth a recharge overnight. That was still ok for me and fair enough.
From a full charge yesterday morning and now into the afternoon on day 2 I still have 70% left. Even if I use some during what's left of the day I'm going to way better off under 2.3.4 - could probably run three days or more at this rate?
I guess it all depends how you use you phone and what parts you use most as to whether any update is better or worse. For me this is way better and I say well done to the update!
My phone is running Rom Kitchen KI4 2.3.4 ROM with CF-Root KI4 Kernal, since I took it off charge 1d 5h 19m, battery = 66%...
Android OS = 1h 19m
Display = 58m
Cell Standby = 1d 5h 19m
Phone Idle = 1d 4h 21m
Wifi On = 1d 5h 19m
Bluetooth = 1d 5h 6m
Android System = 39sec / Stay Awake = 4m 50s
XDA = 2m 42s
Facebook Synch every hour
Beautiful Widgets Synch every 4 hours
Gmail Push notifications on
MyBackyp Pro runs a schedule every day at 11:59 to backup SMS, MMS, Call Logs, Dictionary, Android Home and Settings.
Have received a few sms and emails, browsed the web with Dolphin HD and XDA forums via their app... looks good to me, on the previous 2.3.3 Stock ROM, It would be near dead by now...
On 2.3.3 (stock, NL), my battery was absolutely fine. I got between 2 and 6 days with light usage.
After upgrading to 2.3.4 it got worse. Hardly get 2 days now.
What's even worse is, that now my Android OS process takes 60%, which wasn't the case before. It seems as if 2.3.4 introduced the OS bug, instead of getting rid of it!
The only thing I changes more or less at the same time when I made the update (well, two days earlier actually), was to enable "Use wireless networks" under Location and security. But according to several forums this should not use significantly more battery.
Any ideas what is going on here?
Hi guys,
Since I don't have much notion about the battery life I would like your opinion please. I think now with 4.0.4 the battery is great.
Today I used a little wifi, a little 3G, around 50 texts, 3 calls (short ones) and played a game for about 5/10m.
Let me know what you think!

With rooted 4.0.4 with cwm I get 36.5 hrs of battery life compared to gb witch was 20-21 hrs.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA
If i have a intensive use, the phone only remains for 20h but with gaming, net and bluetooth... With normal usage, can last for almost 2 days. good battery usage
Mine is the same; crappy. Lucky if I can make it through the day without a charge.

But do you think this is good stats?

My Arc S is rooted, with stock 4.0.4 and the battery lasts for about 36 hours. With GB it could reach ~50 hours.
after ICS Update my battery life dropped barely get thru a full day... Few short calls, about 7 SMS', facebook for 10 mins total and google and battery is dead
I think that better battery was on gb.

Crappy, especially if you use 3G + Browser.
Browser eats too much power.

true! I only can get 3 hours+ on 3G browsing.
If I leave my phone alone without fiddling it with, the drain is minimal. But I tend to message a lot on WhatsApp, use both Dolphin Browser (on wifi) and Opera Mini (on 3G) and then the battery comes crashing down.
I'm a heavy user so never been able to comment on battery life BUT I do feel the overall battery life on ICS is better than it was on GB.
After my arc upgrade to ICS 4.0.4
I think battery life is slightly tougher too..
Wifi always on (80% on)
Juice defender on (disable data via 3G)
Running on 3G (wcdma/gsm)
Screen used 4h
Battery life reach 1 d 1 h
Its awesome for me

On ICS the battery is poorer than inGB

People with battery lasting less than 22hr you must be excess using some how. I have and lt15i- rogers, an lt15i - telus and a arc s - no carrier and all of these are rooted 4.0.4 and they all reach 20 hr or more. The lt15i- rogers battery for yesterday went like this:
8am turn on.
WiFi,3g turned on and phone boot.
10am 92%
Phone flashed 4.0.4 root ready

So I dunno guys you should be getting great power. I will do this same process with the lt15i - telus today and I'll let u know.

ICS should give more battery life than GB theoretically coz many changes were made to optimize battery life..so if you are getting less battery then some bloatware or some app is causing battery drain..screen eats battery like hell..but still my screen brightness is around 80% coz screen is sooo beautiful but still i get around 2.5 days of battery easily
You keep your screen at 80%? I keep it at 30% and it's still bright. I actually find that to be optimal.

before my screen brightness was also 30-40%..but later thought wat will i do by saving battery when i m always nearer to plug point..so recent started keeping 80%
I think 30% brightness is enough for me, and my battery still always reach for one full day use. (from unplug charger 9am - 11pm plugin charge)
Screen always 3h ++
Signal wcdma/gsm
Wifi always on
Maybe my next post will included pic, coz now i cant insert pic (my post only 5)

But not on my usage scenario. 3G and browser.
My usage pattern did not change, reading news, weather, browsing tech sites etc. But ICS browser really eats much power compared to gingerbread. The phone noticeably heats up faster, too.
I already removed the bloatwares, test it with stock kernel first, minimal app installs.
Is anyone experiencing weird issues with battery before recharging? i had 2 days phone on batt and 3hrs screen on. It was at 53 % before i decided to charge. I fully charged it and now im losing 10% every hour even with phone on idle. Its weird cause every other charge will last a long time.

Yeah, I'm still stock on this phone and I'm getting inconsistent battery life. I usually charge every night, so I'm running about 16-17 hours per day. Almost identical usage each day but one day I'll plug in with 45-50% remaining and the next it will be dead when i plug in. Very odd. I'm going to root this thing just so I can get rid of the bloat apps. Well, that may not be the only reason I root. I may be compelled to put some AOSP on this and see how it rocks it.
well i don`t really recommend to ROOT stock rom, it caused for me a battery drain ! also KitKat known for drain issue even on Pure android on Nexus 5. I don`t really know a fix but i`d give u some tip and it might help
1. Re-flash D80020c
2. After re-flash do a factory reset
3. Don`t root or mod your OS
4. Turn off Sync or Location Service (or set to battery saver mode)
i did those steps and i have 34 hour on battery:
3 Hour screen on time (and about 30-40 min gaming in this 3 hour)
Left about 49%
i hope i helped a little
Potential solutions:
Have a look in Settings > General > Battery and see what seems to be using the most power. You could have a problem app that’s using GPS or trying to update frequently. If you can identify the culprit then you can remove it.
There’s a slim chance you have a faulty handset. If adjusting your usage and tweaking settings doesn’t’ result in any improvement then take your LG G2 back to the retailer or carrier and get a replacement.

I always have location turned off with all bloatware rwmoved. I honestly think you have to drain it to about 20% then charge. Cause i never have problems when i do that. Gonna try and drain it out again and recharge and see what happens then.
Are you having issues on KitKat out jellybean?

Its kitkat,it says rooted d80020c in my signature. Well here is my latest results. Left it on overnight and was at 53% with data off. Checked it this morning and everything was back to normal again no battery drain or low estimated battery times.weird cause i charged it around this percentage. I think you have to take it down to at least 20 before charging will find out later today when i charge.

well i really not heard about Deep sleep drain but while idle it`s drains bit faster then JB, with jb i could get max 40 hour and about 6hr screen on time and + 10-15% battery while on KK i can get 42 hour but about 5 hr and 45 min screen on time with 0% battery it`s seems a bit problem for 4.4.2 i think Google will fix it and hopefull we`ll get new update from AT&T if this prob will fixed
P.S i saw that if battery at 100%, overnight it won`t fall to 99 but while battery is on below 100% it drains about 1-2 % overnight is that a known prob?

2% overnight is pretty good, given that it's on WIFI I'm assuming?
I lost 25% overnight last night when I was off WIFI, so I factory resetted mine.
Took it down to 20% and discharged and its fine. Im guessing its a bug,but, easy fix just take the battery down to 20% or lower before charging
