SO my g2x feels like it might be gettin a lil hot at times but I'm not too worried about that but i noticed in a lot of peoples screen shots of the battery info it's around 70-80 degrees but mines been at a constant 90 F since the 20th the day i got it . . is this cool or should i get a new one I'm hesitant because everything else is cool and i have 8 more days to decide to switch it out or not. . .thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mathewhart:
Mine has been upwards of 110 and I've had major issues of it powering down while on the t-mobile charger. Way too hot for my liking. I'm not sure if it is the charger or the phone that's causing the power-down. The lg charger had only caused the phone to power off once. Anyone else with this issue. Sorry if this is addressed already. I'm new to the xda app and don't know how to expand the threads in a search.
[Streak 5 General] nextonline:
So before I went to 2.2.2 I backed my data, now I have some annoying crashes. I first noticed my music app crashing, I deleted it and made a fresh install to fix that, then going over the rest of my apps I actually noticed quite a few that were crashing because of the restoring. My main issue is alarm clock. I restored my settings of stock clock app and now it crashes and I can't set the alarm anymore... I tried deleting stored data, but that didn't fix it for any of the apps that crash. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?
[Streak 5 General] elsworth1983:
i use to use t backup but it never proberly worked for me for some reason so i did a bit of searching and i use mybackup its availble on the market hope that helps
[Streak 5 General] puunda:
I get this with many apps (not all) when I restore them using Titanium Backup. What I've found is if I just restore the app w/o data, they all seem to work fine. If I restore App+Data, that's when it crashes. Hope this helps you.
[Streak 5 General] cdzo72:
Titanium backup

I quit using app backups long ago... I prefer to download the apk to my computer and keep them on file.

If I have to do a flash or restore then I install manually and since then I have never had to worry about force closes.

The advantage to this is that I find myself much more familiar with my phone and what it does. Instead of having a bunch of programs that do the same thing, I have cut down on my app installs by half and now my phone is quicker and more intuitive
[Streak 5 General] nextonline:
Yeah, I guess I need to switch back up app. Thanks for the tip about restoring just the app without data, that did in fact fix the problem.

Is there any way to fix my clock stock app? Titanium restores only data, so when I try to access the alarm, it crashes. Any way to reinstall it without factory reset?

cdzo72, Well, backup is more convenient, because it restores your settings as well.
[Streak 5 General] saabster900:
agree sometimes backing up data aswell has strange results in the end

Thanks to: fazi13, and myself TROLOLOLOL.

I've noticed that "loop" acts as a web page... Maybe Original KinOS is exploitable. Can someone run tests on Original OS? I have a feeling that it has a weakness.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
We dont really know what the inner differences are yet, so who knows.

The only thing that could help is the case where the original OS had some kind of exploitable app/config.

And you can always disable the air data thing. I never had it enabled (although i didnt use the phone to call).
[KIN Two Software Development] Antonpup:
Alright, I guess i'll downgrade and check it out. I really need RSS feed, im tired of using google reader.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
I meant that i used the airplane mode and i dont have CDMA coverage, so beware of what you do. I couldnt be charged cause of no network.
[KIN Two Software Development] Antonpup:
True. But there's no Kin Studio.. How can I be charged for transferring data to something that doesn't exist?
[KIN Two Software Development] fazi13:
Pros

-The Spot

Cons

-Discontinued Loop, Microsoft discontinued the Cloud which powers the Loop

-No Calculator

-No Calendar

-[reverting in general] deletes EVERYTHING off of your device

-Non-Functioning Kin Studio (FaceBook/Twitter)

Basically, all you really get is the Spot which helps you send photos and videos a bit. But, no calculator or calendar application is very annoying. AND, your device may NOT be compatible with downgrading. Please visit xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1049473 for more information about device downgrade compatibility.
[KIN Two Software Development] Antonpup:
Updated OP with info I have collected and Info that was given to me.
[KIN Two Software Development] greenlndr:
Quality? o_O

How's that decided?
[KIN Two Software Development] Antonpup:
The app runs alot smoother. And Quality is done by comparing two pictures. One taken on 1.0.1 OS and one taken on 1.0 OS.

I will be upgrading today. I can take a few sample pics and see accurate comparison.
[KIN Two Software Development] 4LC4PON3:
I would like to see the comparison so can you post them up?
[KIN Two Software Development] Antonpup:
I havent done the comparison yet. I looks better quality. But i will do compariso pictures today.
[HTC Inspire 4G] aeneas3:
Hi all,

I posted this in the RCMIX HD Rhread but figured I would post it here in case people want to adapt any to their roms. I am unsure if these will work with other ROMs so beware.

Please see the posts below for instructions and what not:

he_stheone64 - his post about lock screens for desire hd

klquicksall - his post about how to make your own lock screen and how to flash them for the rcmix ROM.

Again, I am unsure if these will work with other ROMs. I say this because I know nothing about other ROMs :)

My lock screens :)

For changing lock screens please remember that you are modding your phone. All inherent risks apply as usual. I have tested these below on my own phone and will attach pictures (all have the transparency mod/theme flashed).

For instructions on how to make your own, read here to get acquainted with the steps. The files below are the actual lockscreen.zip files that you flash from clockworkmod recovery console. All of the pictures have been taken from the internet, especially from some well known sources like the daily NASA picture - I think these make some of the coolest wall papers and lockscreens :) All copyrights for the pictures to those who took them.

NONE of these are transparent right now, I did not have time to play with that yet.

If you have any requests PM me and post here. A photo or link helps immensely. I do not have time to check the forums daily but try to do it as often as I can. Also, if you want to be sure you could always back up prior to doing a flash.

Ok, here we go :)

***ALL lock screens I have made. Including the photos that were renamed into the lockscreen file + each lockscreen.zip. Architecture of folders is important (this may be easier than individual downloads because ALL files you will download are named lockscreen.zip) - file is named lockscreens.rar and is NOT flashable. This contains all the files below ***

Each individual lock screen. Please note they are all named

[General Topics] dregalia:
Greetings All!

I have seen alot of 'Task' Apps and 'Calendar' Apps out there.. And I want to make an extension for a website to allow these applications to sync to my Website.. and allow updates, etc.

For the basic ones that are free with iPhones and Droids, there has to be a common format for these, or something..

Is there a published standard for these anywhere?

I'm guessing it would be some sort of list of commands (web service functions, authentication schema, data structure, etc)
[General Topics] andreacorti:
there is no standard, each service use their own apis (if public)
[EVO 4G General] vdillingham:
I posted this earlier, but in the wrong forum so lets try again. I loaded up the latest version of cm7 and a lot of apps like groupon, usaa, and others are missing and cannot be downloaded via appbrain or other markets. I have tried some "fix" file, clearing my cache,wiping my phone, downloading a market APK, and there is no fastboot. Help me out here guys, thanks.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
You either didn't wipe something, flashed something you shouldn't have, or didn't flash something you should have.

First, take a backup via Nandroid and anything you must via Titanium Backup.

In recovery, wipe data, cache, and system (Amon_RA 2.3 and ClockworkMod 3 have the wipe system option, older recoveries will need a FORMAT_ALL.zip.

Next, flash CyanogenMod 7.0.2.1 followed by GApps 20110307.

Finally, boot up into CM, and add your Google account. Do not have it restore your data automatically. Open the Market, and see if you can find the apps.

I got them just fine...
[EVO 4G General] vdillingham:
Okay so thanks a lotbfor the gapps link, that fixed my problem..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erislover:
This is a sister-thread to "Battery Drain Fix" for the g2x that lists a factory reset as a possible fix to battery drain issues.

First, let me say that even if you do not currently have battery drain issues with your G2X, that doesn't mean that you're immune. My battery has been phenomenal at times, abysmal at others. I've done the factory reset and that DID help for awhile, but battery problems arose again.

I believe the problem that plagued my phone was the dreaded 50% cell standby problem. If you're unaware of this problem, essentially the issue is that "cell standby" (found under settings --> about phone --> battery use) is at or around 50% always -- in other words, it doesn't matter that the phone has fine reception, is or is not being used, or even has the signal active (that's right, the problem persists even with airplane mode activated).

While I do recommend the factory reset method (assuming that you haven't had your phone too long, as it can be a real pain to reconfigure everything if you've set it up how you like it over many weeks...), I think this alternate method is something we should all do as well. In brief, you'll want to do the following:

-open dial pad and dial *#*#4636#*#* (If Testing menu doesn't come up than click "Call" and it will come up)

-Go to Phone information

-Scroll down and you'll see preferred network type

-click it and switch it to GSM/WCDMA auto

-click back button

After taking these steps, you should see an immediate improvement to your battery drain problems, as well as much faster battery charge times. Additionally, your cell standby % should decrease dramatically.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] electric33l:
Isn't the same effect achievable from the Network Settings? No need to go to the secret menu. Unless I'm missing something.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rich2thad:
I thought the samw but in the hidden menu it is set to wcdma preferred

switched will report tomorrow

thanx for this. hope it works

sent from my G2X with no regrets
[T-Mobile LG G2x] goku31640:
I just changed it, hopefully it works. If it does work, thanks in advance
[T-Mobile LG G2x] electric33l:
Interesting. I've had mine set to 2G networks only, so I hadn't noticed. I'll switch it over as well, and see what happens. I've been getting great battery life though, so this is purely an exercise in curiosity. Regardless, the root cause of this problem has already been determined- the drivers are ****ty. CyanogenMod is liable to fix this up immensely.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] UCFJake:
I changed mine too and I will report back if I notice any improvements
[T-Mobile LG G2x] worker1:
The battery reporting is terrible so cell standby could be nothing really.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rroyter:
I believe doing this also fixes the GsmTracker poll failure in one of the threads. At least mine is no longer red but green (in the logs)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheMightiest1981:
I can personally attest to the fact that this does absolutely nothing different. I have had my phone switched between WCDMA, GSM and WCDMA/GSM auto just to see if there was any difference for the past few days. My device has battery life worse than the HTC Thunderbolt that I returned, and being only 7 days in I'm thinking about doing the same to this device. I'm definitely experiencing buyers remorse.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erislover:
@TheMightiest -- did you do a factory reset first and then try this method?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheMightiest1981:
I've factory reset my device 5 times, just drained it, for the 5th time and recharging it as we speak. I still lose between 15-30% per hour if data is enabled...just like the HTC Thunderbolt. At least I got 19mb download with the Thunderbolt, I'm getting an average of 6mb with the G2x, which ain't bad, i'm just saying.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctt0002:
Mine was set on gsm only. I've just made the switch so i'll report back if there is a difference or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erislover:
I've read a lot on the whole philosophy of "drain completely and recharge fully to maximize battery life," and from the looks of it, that method doesn't do anything for Lithium-Ion batteries, which have no memory effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery - not that wikipedia is the ultimate authority on things, but hey, it's a link at least).

Your battery sounds WAY worse than others' batteries...you should seriously consider returning it and getting a new one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erislover:
Well, my cell standby percentage has not gone down at all, but still my battery consumption is much improved.

As was stated in this thread, the battery readings may be very off the mark from actual battery life, however, that fact doesn't help explain why some of us only were getting 5-6 hours of battery life with moderate (and sometimes no) use. There obviously is a problem, and CM7 may well fix it, but the method in this thread has definitely helped my phone stay on longer...irrespective of battery readings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
This is not the reason people on these forums recommend draining completely and charging fully. The reason is that in order for your phone to get a semi-accurate idea of what percentage the remaining battery life is at. With this particular phone, however this is probably still a lost cause as the driver will never give an accurate approximation of remaining life.

At any rate, the full drain, full charge is a one time thing. This will also in no way extend battery life (but I haven't seen anyone on the forums claim this either). You can, however, extend battery life by keeping the charge at ~80% and keeping it as cool as possible.

On a side note, great to see yet ANOTHER battery thread :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
It's amazing right - we have dual core 1Ghz processors in our smartphones with 1GB of RAM and high res screens, 4G data, etc. etc. yet battery technology hasn't advanced in years. Whoever improves battery tech is going to be the richest person in the world. Think about it.

Edit: Btw, mine was set to WCDMA preferred although in Network Settings it was on Auto so I changed it to Auto.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
I thought 512MB of RAM?

Can someone explain to me what WCDMA is? I am in a 2G only area. Should I select GSM only?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Okay. I read the original thread and it sounds like the 50% is refering to the "Time Without Signal" value when you actually click on Cell Standby. Not the value of Cell Standby itself.

My G1 running FroYo last month had at least 50% Cell Standby with only ~1% Time Without Signal and the battery lasted about 2.5 days with moderate use.

I'm not an EE so obviously, I could be wrong about this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Berat:
You sir have just received a thanks, because this could also be the cause of some of our data issues and how the phone picks up on 3G vs 4G signal. Im doing some testing regarding APN and now with this hidden menu. Have noticed my speeds are a little bit better then they were. Battery drain was not a problem for me before.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jayohwhy:
Thank you! i did this to mine and my husbands g2x's last night. seems to have fixed the switching issue
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I already told everyone in here to go into there network settings and choose GSM/WCDMA Auto in order to fix your data issues. You don't need to go into this hidden menu to do it either. Mine was fixed after I accessed it through Network Settings.

Secondly, who cares if your cell standby says 20%, 50% or 90%. All of those percentages are reset after you unplug your device from it's charger and if you unplug your device and imediatly put it in your pocket and don't use it for 1 hour, what do you think is going to be using your battery the most? Certainly not Display because it's been off. Certainly not Voice calls because you haven't made any. If you device is down to 98% from 100% after the 1 hour it's been in your pocket then of course the cell standby is going to show a high percentage. It's really not rocket science. Just because your cell standby used the most of your battery to get to 98% doesn't mean you have a battery problem.

Let me ask you this. If you don't use your device for 1 hour after unplugging it then what would you like to see using the most power? If you say display then you don't belong browsing these forums.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Profondo_Rosso:
Interesting you bring this up. My girlfriend has the LG Optimus T, and I have preformed this fix for her several times. And it's worked. I just hope there's an update from LG on this phone because the Optimus T never got a fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Profondo_Rosso:
Doesn't Cell Standby also refer to time without a signal? Time searching for a signal? Wouldn't that suck some juice ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
The way Cell Standby was described to me is that it's basically when your not using your device. Even if you stay in one place with a perfect signal you will still see your cell standby moving. It's just standing by waiting to receive a phone call, text message, email etc.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Berat:
Even though I can vouch for that method the funny thing is, is that the settings in the public menu were set to auto. However when looking at the settings in the backend menu the settings were set to WCDMA preferred. So there is something going on with the software of the phone which I believe will be ironed out with CM7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Yea, whats funny is that I saw that it said Auto and in the menu it said WCDMA but after manually clicking auto again even though it was already checked. It changed in the menu as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Profondo_Rosso:
Gotcha.

Well I just hope we can all come up with something, because after doing a factory reset, it has slowly started to revert back to mediocre battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donutman:
Have you ever had any other android phones? I had the g1 and n1, neither had ever come close to 50% cell standby.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
The interesting thing here is that when you use this method, the "normal" method of selecting mode has no radio button selected (although the title screen shows auto). If you then select the radio button for auto mine then reverts to WCDMA as the preferred method from the 4636 method. No idea what gives here...the two should match (one would think), but it appears they do not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Same here man. 4636 set to auto changes the settings method whereas no radio button is selected. I change the settings method back to (auto), and it changes the 4636 back to wcdma.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Profondo_Rosso:
Same thing on mine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Yup, look at my SIG and you can see what phones I have used. Your right though. All previous Android devices I've used had a lower Cell Standby but also had a much high Display and Voice Call percentage. I think it all depends on the manufacturers battery drivers. I can tell you right now though. I could care less how high the percentage is for Cell Standby when the G2X is by far the best Android device I have ever used when it comes to the battery. It lasts close to 25% longer than my previous ones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctt0002:
Reporting back. My battery life has gone up tremendously. I've sent and received over 50 text messages today. 5 emails. Made a few phone calls. Checked facebook numerous times. Sync for gmail, 2 email accounts, and facebook is on. This is my result for the day.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erislover:
I've confirmed that after you change the settings from 4636, the settings remain what you've selected after a reboot -- so just don't go into network settings after using 4636 and it should stay on auto...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erislover:
Glad to hear it worked for you! As another user noted, it really isn't important whether cell standby is 43%, 70%, or 1,000,000%...all we care about it the actual life of the battery - that it will last throughout the day. It would be nice if the driver reading were accurate, but that's far less important than usability.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c19932:
did you do it through settings or 4636?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lightning Blue:
also ctt0002, what kind of wallpaper are you using?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erislover:
just in case this is what you're getting at, live wallpaper does NOT drain battery in any significant way -- it's only "live" when your display is on and you're on the home screens, and display uses far more battery than live wallpaper anyway
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sn95chico:
G2x Battery Life

I dont understand why people dont get it .....

The battery life is pretty much the same with all android phones...(give or take a little)

I have owned pretty much all the android phones and they all last about a day with normal usage...

If you put your phone on 2g not 3g or 4g the battery will last 2x longer then when its on 4g...

I just added a 2g-3g widget and only use 3g when i need it .. Everything else (email ect ect ) works perfect on EDGE....

This phone might have a data problem or software problem that LG did that is killing its battery..

I can go about 14 hours with light heavy usage on 4g but on 2g i can go 20 hours easy

The bottom line is every new phone that comes out has the same threads with people complaining about battery life lol lol lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lightning Blue:
Doing this combined with a calibration seems to have done wonders, down 8% in an hour and a half, and that's with no signal for most of that time!
