First off:

Rom:

Virus rom RC1B3

Kernel:

1.8ghz bolted BFS uv kernel

if you overclock, your battery life is less. more power = more usage

so, in theory, if you underclock, less power = less usage..

when I'm at work, I barely use my phone. Maybe to text or a call here and there..

So I wanted to improve my battery life as much as I could,,, I have SetCPU and I have the minimum at 350mhz and the maximum at 650 using the smartass governor when not in use.. Since this is underclocking, the battery life has improved drastically,, though is it safe? I don't see any reason why not, just though I'd like some input on it.
[Thunderbolt General] xebryus:
Yeah, you're fine. With the Smart-Ass governor you don't really need to underclock. It's called smart-ass for a reason. It will only use as much is needed. So when your phones screen is off not running any tasks, the governor will underclock itself.
[Thunderbolt General] 66dude:
Another thing to add is if you are using SetCPU, then you really do not need to set up any profiles that would underclock the phone if you are using smartass.
[Thunderbolt General] phillycreamboy:
Its even worse now. I cannot get the screen to turn off at all during a call. Anyone else try?
[Thunderbolt General] droidboy850:
Mine works much better then before!
[Thunderbolt General] phillycreamboy:
I have made several test calls and even placing my entire hand over the sensor it won't shut off the screen.
[Thunderbolt General] arcanexvi:
Full wipe and flash?
[Thunderbolt General] phillycreamboy:
Yes
[Thunderbolt General] Bxsteez:
I've had similar issues. It hasn't been so severe that the screen wouldn't turn off at all. My screen turns on and off while on a call. I've been looking for an app to recalibrate the proximity sensor but haven't found one. The DHD has an app but none yet for the TB...
[Thunderbolt General] mbh87:
Could be the kernel you are using too.
[Thunderbolt General] gatorguy:
I'll be watching for a fix also. I'm having the proximity sensor issues of the screen turning off and on constantly during a call. I'm running BAMF 1.4 and kernel 4.4.2 OC'd to 1.2 with smartass gov.
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
BAMF 1.4 isn't the updated base that was leaked. So you don't have the update.

OP - What rom and kernel are you running?
[Thunderbolt General] bdragon46:
I too suggest trying a different kernel. I was having issues before with the screen not coming after moving phone away from my face on ziggy's kernel. Switched Kernel and on the new radio and it now works perfect.
[Thunderbolt General] eallan:
Mine has always worked poorly on all Roms and kernels including stock.
[Thunderbolt General] gatorguy:
I mistyped. I am running BAMF 1.5 (remix) with supplied 4.4.2 kernel OC'd to 1.2 with smartass gov.

If I continue having issues this week at work, maybe I'll try going back to 4.3c which is what I was using on stock ROM before BAMF 1.5 (remix). If issues persist, I'll try 4.3b for first time. If issues persist, I'll cuss and live with it :rolleyes:

Appreciate the responses and resources!
[Thunderbolt General] mpwt51:
Also try changing the governor. I have noticed that smartass still has some quirks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forcelite:
Hey all,

I was wondering what is the most stock rom that keeps root.

This is only if you wanted to take it to sprint to get it hooked up on the network and so they dont ask questions. I know it is better to hook it up via calling them.

I know sprint lovers looks pretty stock, but is there a truly "stock" rom that is rooted with superuser?

Thanks all

I unlocked using the old method, not unrevoked so I was just gonna do the simple thing and flash a "stock as you can get" rom. It is just get the phone hooked up under a new account.

You have to Star contacts in order for them to show up in your Favorites. Simply go to your All Contacts - touch a contact - in the top right corner, touch the Star. It will then be added to your Favorites.

In Fring / MobileVoip app when i call to somebody via Wifi ; voice start breaking when screen goes off.

I hope this will help to understand . As right now i am using T-mobile G2 with Cyanogen Nighty Version 41 that is after the stable release of RC 7.0.0

Now i don't remeber that after which nightly version this problem.

I Think i am not the ony one who has this problem ???????????????:confused:

Somebody please help me
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasie:
sorry to say about this in this big community nobody helps me about this problem that how can it be fixed. but i found myself a way to stop doing so that i don't have to keep phone in my hands while i am calling through either from Fring or from Mobilevoip.

What i did i install the Custom Kernel Via Rom Manager .

What you have to do is to install the Custom Kernel from PERSHOOT OPTION in Rom Manager.

Keep in mind as i am using Android version 2.3.4 as OS in my T-MOBILE G2. which is available under the CYANOGEN MOD NIGHTLY VERSION 63.

and after i install the Kernel available for GINGERBREAD. so if you have Gingerbread then install this CUSTOM KERNEL otherwise other option is also available.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melodicjunkie:
Okay, so my question is basically how stable is overclocking your g2? I typically keep it at 800 when I use my phone normally, than 1.5ghz for games. I wante d to keep my g2 at 1.5ghz forever.. is that bad?

My battery obviously increases in temp..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombieme:
I just use 1GH. It's enough for all game now. and didn't see any bad to battery or phone
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
I've had my DZ for about three weeks now and all this time I've had it consistently overclocked to 1843MHz. At that high of a speed, I had to let the phone cool down after 20 minutes of use.

Just today I flashed pershoot's 1516MHz kernel and noticed no heat issues after ~45 minutes of consistent use (temps < 40C).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortlived:
I have had my g2 for.... However long they been out. I have always been overclock to at least 1.5 with zero heat issues. I ran 1.8 and even 1.9 for a good long time as well. Those speeds have heat issues ones that required a battery pull a few times because it started heating up faster then i could shut down the phone. If your going to OC at those speeds makes sure you set temp profiles with alarms.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
ARM processors, like our snapdragons, are a lot more forgiving on the overclocking front than what you might find in your desktop, for instance.

I still treat overclocking on my phone like I do my computers, though... setcpu has a stress test built in that you can use if you're curious how "stable" your overclock is. but in my experience, I've found that you can get away with just playing around with it and using the phone normally and seeing how it reacts to different clockspeeds.

right now, I run it at 1.1ghz (24/7). I have run it at 1.5ghz (24/7) in the past for PSX/N64 emulators, but I've found with my new setup (pretty light; no widgets, very few things going on in the background, stripped as many unnecessary apps as possible, and not using any animations or fancy bits) that 1.1ghz is more than enough to be able to play the games I play on any emulator smoothly.

you should be fine at any speed that is currently available in the overclocking kernels we have with the exception of flippy's 1.9ghz kernel, which does require some monitoring to keep things cool and stable. but it still does vary from phone to phone. if you're running at 1.5ghz and the phone isn't doing anything wonky, then you shouldn't worry about it. if you're running it at 1.5ghz and you're experiencing stability issues, random force closes that aren't fixable through conventional methods, or heat issues, you should probably back off a bit.

some people have problems at 1.2ghz, some people are running at 1.9ghz all the time and never have problems... just find what works best for normal usage with your device and go with it.. it's not like we keep these things for more than a couple of years anyway, and the processor will be capable of handling the [stable] overclock for that period of time.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:
im always at 1.2ghz. 768 as min, interactive gov (when i use CM7) and battery has been fine, havent noticed any major issues. hard to tell if it was the rom bugs or OC being the issue but from what i read all my issues others have at various speeds so im guessing it was rom related
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MajorTom_:
i think it depends on the rom.

when i use the Pyromod rom i dont need overclock but for other roms like sense roms those I require OC. I always keep it at 1400 when needed.

I don't know if T-Mobile changed it, or if I am remembering wrong, but I am pretty sure the T-Mobile G2x features page used to list an FM radio, but it sure isn't there now. I remember being very excited about it because I use the FM radio on my Nexus all the time. This may be a deal breaker for me. Hopefully the dev community can get it working.

Also seems odd for them to not enable FM radio for this phone when the O2x has it and the Optimus T also has one.

Try using the APK from the LG O2x. It should work, because the G2x firmware contains most of, if not all of the same framework the O2x features.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] kampf:
From what I've read the radios in the O2x and G2x are a bit different, so the FM capability could be different.

I think the Nexus One was also capable of Wireless N and FM radio, but neither of those were ever enabled.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
Realistically, if we're assuming that the radio is included in the hardware, but removed software-wise, then we should probably start with determining if we even have a driver for it or not. I don't have my phone yet, so can't help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kolobok01:
In all official listings before release FM radio was in the specs list. I hope they only remooved software.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ceroglu:
This seems to be the similar problem that we had with Samsung Vibrant. Unfortunetly there was a hardware missing on Vibrant, but hoping it is not the case for G2x. Hopefully kernel fix and drivers, along with the apk from o2x would fix it.(fingers crossed)

Not a real fix... but you can get TuneIn Radio Pro free as Amazon's free app for the day if you have their appstore - it plays all my local favorites minus clear channel which we have the iHeartRadio app for - and I must say, Incubus sounds quite nice coming through the built in speaker - huge surprise!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EDemerzel:
Yeah I'm afraid that isn't much of a fix. The whole point is not to use data. Which can be a problem for those on more limited data plans. A lot of the TuneIn Radio stations have a high bit rate stream which sounds good, but eats up your available data.

I find it somewhat insane that the it has been shown in this thread that the phone does actually have a radio as one poster was able to tune the channels in, but that it wasn't including in the stock package working.

Does anyone else have any thoughts on how to resolve this??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Phenomenon:
I too am wondering this. The one thing I'm starting to hate about T-mobile is how they TAKE OUT features from the international version of the phone.

BTW People please stop suggestion "online radio" as a solution. No one wants that if they are asking for the FM Tuner feature. It's a given.

From what I understand the FM Tuner is usually a feature built in with the BT Module. If they made it with the BT Module that DOESN'T have FM Tuner then I'd say we are SOL. Hopefully I'm wrong, but if someone here can find this out it would be great.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] slycog:
Alright, after looking at the service manual it does appear the G2X has the hardware to actually receive FM radio. However this specific aspect of the hardware (BCM4329) is not wired up.

This explains why no audio can be heard when using the o2x app. unfortunately this also means that the FM radio has been disabled on the hardware level and cannot be fixed with software.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oceandographer:
This is weird. I saw an fm radio ap on a display model of the G2X in a t-mobile store. Maybe they just installed the ap from the Optimix 2X and encountered the same thing or something? I didn't have headphone with me to try it but..

So the question now is, "Does this mean G2X owners will never have TRUE fm radio functionality from their phone?" Or is there some way to enable it through hardware means? Can it be enabled through a T-Mobile cell technician for a fee?

It seems to me that there'd be some little ribbon cable in the phone that you could connect up in order to make it work or something. I was hoping this would just be some firmware option.

This was one feature that influenced my decision to buy it in the first place.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] againareku:
If one were to replace the BCM4329 with another BCM4329, say for example, the EVO's BCM4329 chip, would it enable the radio?

Just wondering on what side the radio is disabled, on the BCM4329's side, or the G2X's side?

If it's only on the BCM4329 side then wouldn't it be as "easy" as switching the chips out? I'm sure someone with the proper hardware would be able to do it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
the radio works at the chip level but the audio out is not hooked up to the audio on the phone so unless you have some rework equipment your not going to make it right.

Ok Ive taken a look at the p990 (o2x) and the p999 (g2x) service manuals and they have the same fm chip and audio chip just that the fm is not physically hooked up. the board is different so if you are really good at soldering you can probably hook it up but obviously that will void any warranty

You could definitely set something like this up, but I'm not sure how beneficial it would be. Maybe for emergencies (natural disaster knocks out power) or for camping/hiking purposes, but these things drink so much juice it would take forever to charge them on a regular basis. That said, it certainly probably wouldn't hurt you, but I'm not certain of the day-to-day benefits.
