better battery life

I've been using CyanogenMOD 7 and love it (mostly). The one thing I don’t like about it is the short battery life. I'm kind of new to rooting phones so it took me a bit to get it rooted and get CM7 rolling. I was wondering if there are any mods out there like CM7 that have better battery life? Or if there's any thing I can add to CM7 to give it more batter life?
I've been using android since the first phone came out so I’m already knowledgeable in what to turn off to try and extend the battery life, but I have noticed a big decrees in batter since installing CM7.
Thanks for the help guys

You can under clock the processor when your phone is asleep. This creates better battery life.

Have you tried wiping battery stats?

your phone automatically underclocks your processor when it sleeps (for most CPU governors), you do not need to tell it to do so.
I'm not picking on you fyi, I'm just making sure we are giving people accurate information... there's only one thing worse than no information: incorrect/incomplete information.
op: which version of CM7 are you running? remember, the more minimal your setup (ie less homescreens, less widgets, manual syncing of gmail and whatever else, etc) the better your battery life will be. this is especially true of newer phones that are getting heftier cpu & gpus that, while intelligent with power consumption, are going to drain even larger capacity batteries relatively quick with moderate/heavy usage.
how long are we talking with battery life? how heavy a user are you? for reference, I get around 16 hours of battery life if I don't charge the phone at all from unplugging to battery dying with moderate to heavy usage (texting ~50 times a day, sometimes up to 100 emails depending on what's happening at work, couple hours of calls, couple hours of streaming music [pandora or audiogalaxy], couple of hours of games [peggle and plants v zombies mostly - both of which are resource hogs], etc).
I have just learned to get used to the fact that the phone is going to die if I use it a lot, so I've purchased three micro-usb cables and a car charger.. that way, unless I'm in an area where there is no charge-capable usb port nearby, I'm always able to get a little more juice if need be.

but i also mean setting the max sleep to 368mhz. by default its set at 800mhz. sometimes with apps running in the background, the processor may go to 800mhz without you knowing

check out 'powersave' and set your cpu max to 806mhz. should last you a nice long time like that. responsiveness suffers, of course.
'ondemand' and 806mhz is the best comprimise for me. still fine with HDvideo recording, streaming audio, Nav, etc
if you really want to make it last... clock down to 400mhz, turn off all the sync, set brightness and timeout to minimum, all the radios off (airplane mode), and the volume down, on vibrate.

But some govenors don't drop the sleep to the lowest profile. In fact almost all keep it above the lowest clock. Other kernels allow it and you can also use third party to set it lower. When the tweaKr script becomes universal it will be even better =)

It suffers in powersave because it stays at the lowest setting only. No reason to set to 806. Lol and that bottom comment is hella funny =), but if he does that his phone will just be...a waste of pocket space.
Your best bet is to do some research on kernels. If you are using cm7 to cm 7.0.3 id recommened pyros kernel. If you are on 7.1 or a nightly over 121 I believe id go with eugene's streamline5. It did wonders for mine Also there is a battery saving tips. Google G2 battery saving tips. Should be first link that comes up.
Cyanogenmod roms are known to be battery hungry. Nom nom nom.

Mugen 3600mah = better battery life...

Can you elaborate on what kind of battery life you are getting now? How many hours, and for what level of usage?
How long have you been on CM? It takes a couple charge cycles of the battery after flash any ROM, for the battery meter to be accurate. Clear battery stats (as mentioned) then charge to 100%, let drain to about 20%, repeat a couple times. Don't drain until the phone dies. Some people say to do this, and its not good advice. Over discharge of Li ion batteries can cause them to no longer take a charge. There are people on here, on the Vision and other phones, that let their battery drain to empty, then the phone would no longer boot, forcing them to replace the battery.

Is my phones battery drianing fast or not?

My HTC One X runs on ICS 4.04 on stock (JB is not yet out for my phone). I wanna know if my phone is actually draining or not.
I had recently sent my phone for service and i had a odd smoking smell from my phone, as an additional compliant i told them that my battery also drains fast. HTC replaced my battery for the issue and sent it back.
I don't think my phone has improved on the battery performance. Got very curious and attempted to check the battery usage during gaming.
I played the NFS for 3 to 4 minutes and i noticed a decrease in the battery level of 4 to 5 %. Repeated the test couple of time to average at the same results.
PS: i started the game and never touched the phone and let it completed by itself. the game runs for about 3 minutes and 40 seconds to be little precise.
Can you suggest if this is actually the expected levels of decrease or is the phone draining faster?

You've for a quadcore device, its gonna chomp the battery away naturally. I've been reading that jb brings great battery improvements.
It all obviously depends on old school things roo. Like. Bluetooth, WiFi/mobile internet, brightness levels.
And also other factors like CPU governors, underclocking, over clocking, undervolting etc.
But the battery clearly isn't the problem as it was replaced and the levels don't seem THAT alarming.

I dont get it.. I got the phone 3 days ago, but if Im lucky, the phone lasts for maybe 6-7 hours?
It gets extremely hot when used in couple of minutes, and its like the battery is drained by something hidden.
On a night it loses about 6-7% in 6-8 hours of standby with data etc turned off
I have turned push, sync, NFC, smart screen and all that "smart" stuff off.. so I have no idea bout what drains the battery. Even the screen is on 50% and auto -_-
I have the korean version (I think?) the european version - bought in Denmaek, stock. Not rooted or anything - but is it possible to root the EU/KR edition or is it only for the Canada/Sprint edition?

Same for me. Hes obviously not using hes phone much and not on LTE.
The battery life of G on LTE is really terrible.
By the way mo on arent hot last days, probably they fixed it.
Web via LTE eats like 15%-20% per hour, reading a book on small bright is 3%-4% per hour

Is there any way to tunr of LTE/4G then? I'd rather have good battery and like 20mbit than a few hours battery and 45-50mbit download speed .. :laugh:

Battery life is consistently around 11.5-13 hrs with moderate to heavy usage.

My battery is crap too sometimes is ok ..
but it is just screen what drains .. and + if u browsing internet and u have flash enabled it is big drainer added .. needs more cpu power..
if u put mobile on eco mode turn down screen to 25%-30% turn all radios off u should be fine
download apps like battery calibration . or battery stats or juice defender

I'm really not an expert at this. I have also just opened my Optimus G, so I can't share my personal experience with this phone. However, the battery of my Lumia 920 needed around a week to function properly. The first three days I got heating and drain, almost 10% per hour, but now the phone lasts easily for two days with light usage. I was looking everywhere on different forums for hidden factors draining the battery, until I found a comment, where someone described this phenomenon: he said that a battery needs around 12 full cycles of drain and full recharge before optimal performance can be obtained. So from now on I will be more patient.
Then again, I'm new here, so other opinions are welcome.

eeemm that is not true i had phones over years and batt been always same..
it is all about usage ..
jut do test charge it fully and dont do nothing with it just ocasional phone calls and sms's and ull see then..

For me on jb v03 I get around 18-19 hours with around 3 hours screen time, but agree its all about usage.
I mean if you leave your phone off most of the day with your wifi and data turned off it will drain very slowly..
I find the biggest drain is always screen, cellular connection especially when you have poor signal, and wakelocks.

I had same xperience with my iPhone 5 so I hope its the same with my LG.
But for know I've installed JuiceDefender and disabled LTE (HSDAP+ i fast enough for my needs on the phone anyway)

exactly this is my problem ..
we traveling to the places while am in work and there are areas where is poor signal or no signal that means phone automaticaly boost its signal which is very big drain and if your mobile has no signal at all and u obviously set to automatic search it searching searching and draining hell lot!

this is true as well 4g signal is even stronger signal as previous 2g 3g drains so much plus when u surfing on the net!
when 4g will be standard the manufs will have to make new generation of batteries to stay last longer o LTE..

Phone idle refers to the amount of battery cell radios are using up when the phone is sleeping. I would recommend moving to an area with better reception and disabling data when unneeded.

Data is disabled (and wifi).

battery life is fantastic, i get roughly 5 hours on screen time, when i finish work i have 70 - 80% battery with 1.5 hours screen time

My battery life on CM.
Disappointed kinda, expected great improvement compared to stock rom

After few weeks of heavy usage, I am noticing the battery performance to improve considerably, I'm running stock 4.1.2. V10D

Hows your Battery life, Performance Etc

Hey guys, I really do want this phone, but before I buy it I want to know how things are for the phone
Is the battery life good? I hear that it comes with a 2000mah battery but offers up to 30% extra due to the power saving options, do you get more then 3hours screen on time? my Galaxy S3 and nexus 4 get around 2.5/3 hours max which just isnt good enough
Does it get dangerously hot? I want this phone not because of the camera, processor or anything like that, I want it for its build quality, saying that its made of metal and obviously metal absorbs heat, does it get really hot? also the hotter the battery the worse battery life you get if im not mistaken?
Is the performance any good? some people say it sluggish, some people say its good, Ive seen a few videos and the UI seems smooth and elegant but it would be nice to read it from people who have had the device for more then a day. Also, its a quad core A9 at 1.5ghz why does it run so badly on Antutu? i saw a 130000 score before, roughly the same as a tegra 3 if im not mistaken. I know benchmarks dont mean anything, but im a benchmark junkie
Hows connectivity? In my area its normally pretty good, although ive read it drops out sometimes
thanks for reading and I hope you reply with some good comments
Jack

the battery works for about one day ... think it could be better ...
the perfomance is pretty good, maybe the people telling, that it is poor, have an old firmware e.g. B104 in germany ...
when playing a long time or watching video, it could get warmer, but for me, it is not hot ...
alltogether :good:

I can normally get two days of light use from the 'phone (well from 6am day one to 6pm on day two). However, something has a tendency to hog the processor if I leave it switched on overnight. If I switch the 'phone off (power down) over night (from 11pm to 6am) I can easily get three or four days use. I use the 'phone mostly for sending a few texts, half an of web browsing in the evening on the bus (which warms the 'phone up) and an hour of BlueTooth music on the bus morning and evening. This uses around 20% battery per day.
I find that in everyday use the 'phone has plenty of processing power. Scrolling through the BBC News app is smoother than my old Xperia Z.
Connectivity seems fine and compared to my old Xperia Z and the iPhone 5 certainly no worse, although with the current official firmware, the signal gauge seems to constantly go from 2 bars to no signal and back again. Both my workplace and my home are in relatively low signal areas anyway and often don't get much above one bar unless stood in the right corners of the house or workshop so I struggle for signal due to my location. Having said that, despite the gauge showing little or no signal, I don't suffer from having no connection (at least no more than with the other two 'phones) and sending messages or reading websites on the bus across the transmitter blackspots of The Lincolnshire Wolds is no less reliable than any other 'phone I've used in these locations.
I think this is the best 'phone I've owned for a long time. I've not liked a 'phone as much since my HTC HD Mini, including the iPhone 5 and Xperia Z already mentioned.

Thanks for the reply, it seems that with newer firmware the phone has gotten better? Im thinking if i were to root the device and underclock it too 1.0ghz the heat would go down and also save a bit of battery life, I use this method on my Galaxy S3 and get around an hours worth of screen on time
Let me know what you think, Jack

Battery life is not best for me... I've "Cell Standby" which drains battery, but it will be fixed in next updates i think. Phone gets warm when using, but not too much.
Perfomance is good enough for me, and maybe it will be better on next firmwares. I suggest you to flash B111 rom, you can find it from Development forum. I got 13 200 score from Antutu benchmark with B107 firmware, and 14 400 with B111.
In overall .. you have to buy this phone ! Its amazing

Hi guys,
Have you experience cell phone over heating just doing web browsing? And consequently having fast battery drain?
Regards!

On B106, Usually I have to charge my phone twice in a day. Due to heavy Wi-Fi usage and games, now upgraded to B107 lets hope the situation gets better.

For battery, within standby, it only uses 2~3% while the whole night (from 11.pm to 7.am). So, normally, u can use more than 36h, if u dont paly many many games.
For the temperature, its warm not hot, but i found some apps are hot, and the same others are only a little warm, i think the CPU and system optimize is not good enough for normally use. So the performance, i think it has the same problem.
Err, forgive my poor english......

G Pro Kitkat Battery hogs

is it just me or is the kitkat ROM really sucks----battery pretty well?
I also notice that the CPU usage does not drop to 20 percent idle but when I used other ROM (JB based) it becomes 5 percent.
RAM usage is good but I think it hogs the CPU. I used cpuz on measuring the cpu usage

RAM usage is good but I think it hogs the CPU. I used cpuz on measuring the cpu usage

Where can I get the JB rom for OGP?
For me, Android was best at JB and went backwards with KK.
Yes, I've noticed absolutely horrible battery life with KK. KK just feels like it is several different parts all just thrown together.

The only reason I think is that theoretically JB uses more battery is that the system uses more voltage than the kitkat. however, what's less voltage use if the CPU is always busy and wakeups are just everywhere.

Hi guys, maybe you could post in some battery stats so we could know more about whats draining your battery in particular and suggest some fixes. I've actually experienced the opposite with kitkat-battery life for me improved. There was even an instance that I got the phone to last 30 hours, with 5 hours, 48 mins. screen. On another instance I got 15 hours life and 5 hours 25 mins screen on. I just lost the screenshots as I had to reflash stock when i was doing some G3 mods., but nevertheless i could post some new ones.
I value batter life was well and i'm curious to see how yours could be improved too..

What a battery life. 15 hours screen time?
how can we accurately measure? because I only use CPU-Z and installed DS battery saver to save power. right now it only used 2% of my battery during the night. (from 1:45 - 5:50am)
I see. can you tell me what app should I use to determine CPU usage of each app/service?

No, my battery lasted 15 hours, and my screen-on time (total time i spent using the phone) was 5+ hours coz i basically used my phone then for gaming the whole day I suggest you download gsam battery monitor app (it also has a temperature_bat. Usage graph), as well as wakelock detector. Another alternative would be better battery stats. What you would need to observe would be the apps and wakelocks draining your battery both when you are using your phone, and also when its idle.

I also notice that battery capacity is 2A in which it should be 3.140A right?
this shows on kitKat but on jellybean, it's 3.140A again.
is there something wrong with the detection of battery capacity?

What happened was that in kitkat, the permisssions required to be able to access battery stat files changed. Thus, apps w/c could freely access the batter stats in JB cannot gain complete access in Kitkat. This is the case for some battery monitor apps w/c now have lesser accuracy in reporting battery. No worries though, as there are means to bypass this problem. If you have xposed you could install a module for this. Also, some apps like gsam battery monitor come with a separate root companion app. Once you install those batter stats will be accurate.

Here's a screenshot of my battery stats for today..might not be 5+ hrs of screen on as i did a lot of rebooting today (themed with g3 tweaksbox). Nevertheless, this is just to show that kitkat has the potential to provide good battery life. Also enclosed is a screenshot of one of the battery apps i use, gsam.

Hey everybody! I have some findings I absolutely must share so you can benefit as well.
I've been doing some tinkering and I've find a way to significantly increase battery life on the OGP.
First thing you'll want to do is put your phone into airplane mode.
Second, turn your screen brightness down as low as it will go. I mean, all of the way down.
Third, don't play any games on your phone.
Try those three tweaks and see what kind of battery improvement you get.
Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

Just so you know, first my cell radio and wifi were both on the whole time. Second, i was on auto brightness the whole time. Third, i played clash of clans as you see in there.

If you have not done this already, adjust your cpu to save your battery juice. Set the cpu governor to powersaver or interactive mode if you just using the phone to send msg and make calls. I let my phone run on msm-dvcs and when I'm not plug in. Check out ROM toolbox if you're rooted. Seriously folks, instead of complaint about how much the roms suck the juice, try these different ways to see they make any difference for you.

That's pretty much a tablet use. You want great battery buy a zero lemon battery, the bulk is worth it, I got 3 days with very heavy use

I found a way to make my phone last a long time. I just turn my phone off and don't use it. I wish I would have though of this sooner.
