QuadGearBox: Save battery maybe. (EcoMode) - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hey,
In my quest for root and an overall more usable phone I stumbled upon LGs QuadGearBox.
I have read about it in an announcement however it hasn't been released officially yet.
It has the option to set the tegra processor to eco mode. Feel free to try it out
You can choose any shortcut app and dig into settings where you will find QuadGearBox or just use my wrapper-app:

There is also a CPU meter hidden in an lg settings app but I have to sleep now...
Hope this helps and brings this awesome phone with battery issues a step forward. It's as good as it will get without root...

Why LG decided to hide this menu?

Seems like eco mode only run on 2 cores.

Thx !

I have no Idea why it's hidden. Maybe it's doomed by tegrademon?
No seriously after googleing I've read in some announcement that they want to publish it
at some point in the future. So we can only guess...
Btw I think you are right with the processor only using two cores. It seems to me like it tends to use the shadow core more often as as well but have not tested it properly...

I am using eco mode now and the biggest difference that I notice is that I have a lot more free memory.

because this app turn off the third and fourth cores?
If i play with a games for tegra 3 only 2 cores runs!

Exactly that seems to be the case. If games start to lag just power it up again

Is it possible that this app is causing BSOD's?
I had a problem with random reboots or just a black screen with the only solution long press power buttom or battery pull. So I restored factory settings and installed a few basic apps (no special boot services I think) and also this tweak. Now the black screens are back. Very weird, because I'm not doing anything "out-of-the-box".
PS: don't mind my sig, that's my old phone (which I still have to use way too much as backup phone...)

I would say things like this can very well be possible although I didn't have any bsods at all with this phone (using the latest 10d software...)
btw I'm gonna add a better icon as soon as possible... :laugh:

I have had exactly same problem, it also caused some random reboots for me, so I deactivated the Eco-function and uninstalled it afterwards.
The random reboots are gone now. So this app might work on some phones and not on others, that's maybe why LG hasn't published it yet.

I had BSODs right after boot, that was frightening. Mostly I could just see the unlock after boot before going black. One time I was lucky and was able to reach settings and select factory reset...

You can always perform a factory reset from the recovery in case you cannot boot anymore ,(keep on an down keys. Pressed on boot)
However as mentioned before my phone works rock solid in this mode. What firmware are you on? Oo
Also it safes battery and doesn't turn hot.
Still way to much battery usage however... :-\

I'm using 10d. I tried that once and booted into update mode. "Please wait while updating" or something for about 2 hours, so I had to reboot again.
It's strange because I was using this tweak for a few days without any problems at all. Maybe some interference with another app? I don't know about battery usage, but I can comfirm it wasn't turning so hot as it does now (with 4 cores).

Maybe something that needs the 4 cores? Wouldn't make sense that the phone freezes, though. Maybe there is different tegra hardware around? Or it depends on tolerance as it does with overclocking...
All I noticed was that tegra 3 demo wouldn't start anymore. Makes Sense, tough, as it needs to use all 4 cores...

I'm 99% sure I used volume down button. To be honest I can't remember but it's the same on all my android devices, so I did it instinctively.
Maybe it's the app Micro CPU monitor? It has an option to show all cores seperately and also starts on boot.

I am loosing my mind! Note eating battery and superslow

Hi!
My Note has for a quite long time now been slow, laggy and eating battery.
Didn't mind, had a car charger, suspected old battery and clogged storage.
About a week ago it came to a complete stop, taking 30 sec to open facebook.
And typing in Swiftkey an impossibillity, having keystrokes on a 5-10sec lag.
So finally i got a new battery, whiped the phone clean.
Flashed the phone with a fresh rom (Team Union JB XXLT4 V7)
Installed my apps manually, making shure no crap cache was brought.
Formatted internal storage and got a new 32Gb SanDisk Ultra card.
Fresh start, fast phone right? no.
Apps still unusably slow, typing on swiftkey impossible without lagging.
Battery from a full charge last about 6h with light usage.
Would like to stay on TW only for the MHL capability, but now i am open to anything.
Can't really afford a new phone, so if this can't get resolved ill switch to my old 3GS.
What do i do now?
What can i try?

Just listened to som music, and some light surfing, thats about all. Battery blames is all on the screen and os about 33% & 33%.
YOu should try AOSP/AOKP Roms!!!
I think one of the apps you have is causing the problem.
When i had the same problem it turned out to be the podcasting app i had.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en
Or go to the terminal and run top, see whats eating the cpu.
have you try to replace new battery ?!

Well, yeah couldn't find any original though, and don't want to wait weeks for a shipment, so got a copy brand "ENERGY" spacy logo and made here in Thailand. Only 2350mAh compared to the original 2500mAh.
Found that the new battery didn't really make any difference, about the same.
So worried i got new but crappy battery I'm now back on original, without any noticable change.
Considering getting a external charger and carrying the spare battery, that is not really a solution either.
Got get this phone working reliably soon, or i need to find a replacement.
Appreciate the tips, and ill try and make a study with "top" and get back to you guys.
Maybe i have a energy hog after all...
It's a pain in the butt, but it looks like the only way to resolve it is to do a clean wipe, then install each
app one by one, giving yourself a day or two of usage. Sucks, but it sure sounds like one app is
screwing up another one. Any chance you can (shudder) use a "memory cleaner/program closer"
after you use each app, to make sure it's closed as a test? Sounds like something sure is
interacting with something else.
USe Greenify and hibernate all apps!!!
Check your Google account settings. If you have sync Internet ticked disable it.

Really?
I thought my battery life was bad. 7h15m with 45 min screen time after charging my battery is at 67%
That is with wifi and bluetooth (with music playing) on and connected.
GPU overclocked and lowest step 200mhz(from 133 and max 400) and cpu up to 1550 Mhz.(okay, i did reduce the voltages, sue me)
and google location service on.
On original battery (dec 2011), that is about to die (screen starts glitching around 30%)
Somehow you are doing it wrong.
You would be surprised at what a speed deference you will get and battery life with aosp roms I have used tw and aosp and always go back to aosp based when tw starts to get laggy. But as most have said most likely a app causing your problem you should try install new Rom with all wipes inclueding preload I think thats what its called and make sure that media scan is not always running

Just an update everyone:
I'm currently at 7h15m with 2 hours screentime.

I will have to chalk this up to a worn battery being replaced by a real Samsung battery and not a knockoff 3rd party battery.

What's this snarkyness that's infected xda?
Shure wasn't around back in the WM days.
This is and or was a very "General" issue with my phone, as i am still not entierely shure is a plain software issue.
However i've made the switch to a or the PA-rom out of desperation.
Still too early too tell, as it is first day after flash, but feels smoother.
What is driving me mad on PA is the lack of lockscreen-homebutton-torch.
Also a bit dissapointed in "Screen Mode" dynamic mode missing.
Missning SPen->screenshot->notetaking is bugging me aswell, but i'm shure ill find some replacement thing for that.
EDIT:
You, know what.
I apoligise if i posted this in the wrong place.
And no bad intentions towards you AndroidSlave.
I just feel that it's the place of a MOD and not of a user to make these claims.

I believe its the only way until coc manage its resolution scaling differently. And even then...on android 5.0 to 5.1 they display differently. Looks better standard dpi on 5.1 than it did before
Damn my s2 is late version and I was reading they don't have root for it yet
Sent from my SM-T817T using Tapatalk
Yeah, resolution is a little messed up. But my main thing is the screen is way too sensitive.... when farming, trying to drop multiple troops at a time just makes the whole thing zoom in... it's not even playable because the screen touch is way too sensitive... it's obviously more than capable of running Clash.. I just don't know how to reduce the sensitivity... maybe get a plastic screen cover or something....
Ive heard people say that aswell i dont seem to have that problem as much my thing is it looks soooo bad now im leasing a tablet that i dont even use basically cuz of how horrible it looks i usually just play on the phone and until they come ojt with lte version root i dont really have any options
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
Ive had the same problem. Hoping for a solution soon but there is a work around. If you reboot your tablet and start COC it will properly scale in full resolution and it looks insane on this tablet (i have the 9.7). Sometimes you have to reboot more than once but usually once will do it. As long as you don't kill the app the proper resolution will stick. If you kill it in task manager or hit the back button until you get the 'Exit Clash' prompt it will revert to low rez the next time you launch it. Every now and then (seems like once a week or so for me) it will randomly revert back anyway. So weird. Then you reboot and you're good again. FYI switching users on the tablet (multi profile) will break this which really sucks for me cause i have multiple clash accounts. Anyway this solution has kept me at bay. Hope it helps others.

You are literally the only person to have these results..
Stop spamming. You screwed something up while installing it (hard to do because I gave you the lines to copy/paste over) or you are running some kernel or ROM causing this drain. I'd like to see something other than the battery graph, to see what your app usage was...

I actually wasn't trying to be a troll or spam. I'm on an AT&T V10 so I'm obviously running stock Rom rooted (as there's no unlocked bootloader yet). Only other thing I have from xposed is gravity box only for visual changes. I copied and pasted directly to the ETC folder as you stated was allowable later in the thread. I only asked to see because, like you said, it's hard to mess something up. Don't really appreciate being called a troll for asking a simple question....
Edit: only other thing I can think of is I changed batteries on a daily basis because I'm away from outlets for most of the day and have nowhere to recharge. I think I read something that the phone takes up battery on start up. But without this mod I would usually get 5-6 hours SOT and about 14 hours on a full charge

Your screen shot included nothing but a battery graph. No app usage, no explanation of what you are running / doing. And your saying "I'm rooted running xposed and all stock" is not you running stock. It is you running xposed rooted and probably with other small modifications here and there.
Just would be useful to not just come up here and make it look like this script magically destroyed your battery life somehow when it is literally nothing but basic shell scripts to modify very high level parameters of device operation. Like I said, you are literally the only person to ever have an issue. Post something useful other than "hey this is terrible here's a one off screen shot and no other information about what makes me unique from everyone else."
I didn't respond to your original question in the other thread because it was uninformative as to what you might have done wrong while installing the file. You posted a graph, then asked what you did wrong.
Good question. I have no idea. But obviously something because I've been using this for weeks now, and many other people as well and nobody has experienced this mystery battery sucking you are seeing.
It is important to note that your device will boot with all CPU governors set to "performance" which taps your frequency to max. This file changes it post boot, so if you didn't copy the file, or more importantly didn't set it's permissions properly afterwards, your device will be stuck running performance, possibly reboot, and certainly will suck your battery dry very quick.
You need to give me more if you want my help, otherwise I will ignore you. I do this stuff for a living and it isn't my job to be a test engineer for your device as well as my own.

Post something useful other than "hey this is terrible here's a one off screen shot and no other information about what makes me unique from everyone else."
I didn't respond to your original question in the other thread because it was uninformative as to what you might have done wrong while installing the file. You posted a graph, then asked what you did wrong.
Good question. I have no idea. But obviously something because I've been using this for weeks now, and many other people as well and nobody has experienced this mystery battery sucking you are seeing.
It is important to note that your device will boot with all CPU governors set to "performance" which taps your frequency to max. This file changes it post boot, so if you didn't copy the file, or more importantly didn't set it's permissions properly afterwards, your device will be stuck running performance, possibly reboot, and certainly will suck your battery dry very quick.
You need to give me more if you want my help, otherwise I will ignore you. I do this stuff for a living and it isn't my job to be a test engineer for your device as well as my own.

Sorry for the confusion. Yes I meant stock Rom as in no custom Rom. And as stated all I have xposed wise is gravity box with visual only.
I'm going to try a factory reset as someone else stated and copy only your file and see what happens after a few days.
I'm no noob when it comes to flashing and changing parameters which is why I was confused about why this had such a detrimental effect.
Again I thank you for your hard work and all the positive things you've given xda on your own time. I'm sure it's just something to do with only upgrading from root and not starting fresh

I think it would be good if you post the command output of
Code:
ls -l /etc/init.qcom.post_boot.sh
and also a screenshot with the app usage stats.

@greekunit690 it might just be coincidence, but under your display settings try unchecking & rechecking the Auto option under Brightness. I've found that for whatever reason the brightness setting will get stuck at the highest level even though I have Auto selected. This has led to rapid battery drain for me when it happens.

i cant use it
how did you install it ?
Its not hard. Just follow the instructions and use terminal emulator to input the commands. After you do it once from the commands you can simply copy and paste the file in the appropriate folder and correct the permissions when an update is posted.

Crazy battery drain when Idle

Hey guys, I am having issues with battery drain and not sure what to do, my note wil lose about 30% battery overnight(about 7-8 hours) and last night it lost about 50%
At first it said that google app used alot of battery so I disabled the reccomanded things online(it's location and such), now it isn't draining as much.
Also my location doesn't use GPS, at night I always have maximum reception and yet I lose alot of battery to cell reception, also the other 2 you can see in the picture.
Hope someone can help, and thank you!

Nearly the same problem since MM. Sometimes 4%/hour when laying next to my bed during the night.
Tried everything like Wifi choices. Something also keeps my phone awake for at least an hour.
I hate factory resetting....

Factory reset is about 2h of work for much better performance. Just do it - use Google Photos, back up other stuff to google drive and sync, and you're done.

Factory reset only helped me for a couple days. Just the other day I lost almost 75% overnight with minimal apps installed and debloated. I've tried many combinations of WiFi on/off, HD/WiFi calling on/off, but the drain always comes back. Factory stats and gsam don't show anything out of the ordinary. It's been like this since Marshmallow.

Did anyone facing these issues have any packages disabled before the update?

Nope, all packages enabled before accepting the MM update. I forgot to enable them for this last small OTA just the other day, but I haven't noticed a change.
That's surprising. I've had better standby after mm. Hardly 3% in an 8 hour night. 5.5 hours consistent screen on with relatively heavy usage.

The only app that messed it up was Opera max. Saved me ton of data but messed up battery life exponentially.

I'm assuming the update will fail. I would guess the OTA has some sort of check before installing.

Didnt you mention you didnt enable the packages before accepting the last OTA? If so, how did that go?
I did a factory reset, it did not help in the end :\
I have the impression that completely stopping Location services makes a difference, inclusive this option to Scan wifi.
I now have, on idle(!) 2.1 % per hr loss. Sync still on and also Wifi. But no automatic updates.
Pls feedback about this

Correct, I forgot to enable the disabled packages for the latest OTA from Verizon. Everything went fine, as far as I can tell, but it wasn't a "major" update (still 6.0.1, no version change/update), just a few bug fixes.

That is amazing, 0,375% per hour. I never in my life succeeded in that. Ok, with first Nokia maybe.
I sometimes got a .7% per hour drain,but that is my absolute minimum.
Huib
Yeah. On lp it was an easy ten percent + every night. I think the combination of package disabler and the dose on mm got something right going on.
Greenify
Hi guys, i'm actually from over on the s6 edge plus part of xda and a lot of us are having the same issue with idle battery drain
I fixed this on my s6 edge plus by installing greenify and activating aggressive doze. It's by no means a permanent fix but it does the job. Since the note 5 is like the s6 edge plus's brother in terms of hardware and similar software give this a go and let me know if it helps
Have a look at the screenshot i uploaded if you are unsure

Lorditler. I'm no troll buddy. Sadly my Nokia 8 is going back. Crashes, reboots, smart lock doesn't work period.
I'm pretty gutted about it not being 100% from the get go.

I've had the odd app crash and reboot, I've got one more week to decide if I'm keeping it. Only thing is, I'm not sure there's anything else around that's going to be pure android with these specs for the same price. Pixel 2 is interesting, but likely to be £700+...

You sound like your exactly where I'm at smudger40. My phone arrived last wed so under DSR I've got a fortnight. After a fortnight I'm stuck with it for the next 2 years.
I'm after a near stock / totally stock android phone which leaves the pixel.
But like you I'm watching what price it is released at and with the fruity firm releasing a £1150 handset, what's not to say the pixel 2 hasn't suddenly gone up even more.
Like yourself I suspect it's going to be around £750 ish.
Which makes the Nokia a real bargain. My Nokia is going back so I'm covered under DSR and im just going to sit on the fence and see what pixel 2 looks like come oct.
And at that point i maybe re-order the nokia and hope I get a better one than the one I'm returning.
As for the X phone... I think this will open the flood gates to 3 year phone contracts to make the phone contract affordable or people are going to have to put 300-400 towards the handset cost.

I've had random reboots. Also issues with phone app and alarm. Phone app is being silent and unresponsive, alarm is just silent.
No issues here at all. Maybe try a factory reset and run with bare minimum a day or 2.
If it still happens it could very well be issues specific to your phone and you should be able to return it and get it either replaced or repaired.
My phone version is... Read below ?

Running a flagship phone with bare minimum? That makes no sense.
I have random reboots, phone app crashes on incoming calls, apps lag heavily, phone gets stuck in landscape mode.
Even the original ZTE Blade had better software than this. This is my first Nokia phone in 17 years and I will probably never get another one.

The very least you can do is to factory reset and some basic trial and error... If the service workshop factory reset it and can't find issues they basically end up claiming you caused the problems. Gathering some proof makes them look like the idiot instead.
It could very well be hardware related since mine works perfectly. **** happens. No brand has 100% flawless phones.
Avoid Nokia if you must... But then avoid Samsung due to Note 7 aka Firestarter, Sony due to random reboots on my Z5 premium (that they fixed later), Apple due to critically flawed updates... The list can go rather large if you really put some time on finding reasons to avoid something.

Already am avoiding all brands you mentioned.
I really like the Nokia 8. Just what I really wanted but, mines not been right from the first day. However, having seen pics that were leaked last night of the pixel 2, I think that looks a proper minger. Then there's leaks of the Nokia 9 appearing every where.
Sitting this one out till Nov when either I go Nokia 8/9 or minger phone (pixel 2 XL) depending on how stupidly it is priced
