Question battery consumption problem caused by bad voltage handling?

so I downloaded somekind of battery widget that have graphic log on the voltage and I noticed that when my new optimus 4x's voltage jumped between high and low it cause the battery to drop rapidly... CMIIW, I can't help but feeling that this is very much like those happened at contemporary desktop CPU that constantly adjusting voltages, however with the bad efficiency one, not sure if this is LG's fault or Nvidia's, anyone here have article reviewing/explaining the Tegra 3 platform? CMIIW, the CPU is Nvidia's right? or is it somebody else's CPU?

anyone else noticed similar behavior? any suggestion on improving the battery life?

can you describe your meaning of a lot there? for me if I use this phone a lot, it will only last 8-10 hours! for constant gaming it maybe will only last 2-4 hours!

only the moto raz maxx will last longer then 4h constant gaming.

alot for me is about 10 calls, 20-30 messages, wifi,data and sync on at all times. navigate during work, check rss feeds and email a couple of times / hour. play wordfeud and rumble with notifications.

maybe im not as heavy user as others but thats alot for me and i dont feel any change in batterylife from my meizu mx or htc desire. u get 2150mah battery in this phone, compared to meizu mx or desire with their 1500-1600mah but u also have double the performance and alot bigger screen, why would it last longer?

LG states that some apps cause battery drain. I have read it in some internal b2b document from LG site. One of the apps mentioned was poweramp. Don't know if problem is fixed with newest firmwares.
