[LG Optimus 2x] empirehell:
-TK-Rom v0.6

- I loose 5 to 10% per hour without doing anything !

- Sometime even if i have the "battery fully charged" popup, when I unplug, the battery indicator shows 98% ...

-2.6.32.27-g9f26g51-dirty

-2G/3G on

-1000MHz max and 300MHz min (foced when screen off)

- No freezed program

- Only one widget : Genie Widget

[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
- Which rom are you using ?

Factory ROM, updated to V10b.

Baseband: 1035.21_20110405

Kernel: 2.6.32.9

Build: FRG83G

- How is your battery doing over the night?

11pm to 6am standby: Dropped from 100% to 95%.

- Is the battery inaccurate like it doesn't go higher then 98%, drops from 100 to 50 after some time or after reboot,... ?

Charges to 100%. Seems to hang on to (stay at) 100% a bit longer.

- 2G/3G on or off?

3G always on. Disable wifi when out of home.

- CPU adjustments?

None.

- Programs freezed?

None.

- Locks up when I use the car charger.

- Battery manufacture date: 16 Mar 11.

- Haven't pushed the performance much, but have watched an hour wmv file over HDMI, played Asphalt game and occasional continuous conversations lasting 2 hours. The phone behaved perfectly.
[LG Optimus 2x] kefjeuh93:
Allright so we can already see that the stock rom's don't have much of draining or am i wrong ?

because my stock also had less then 5% loss at the night

but your 3G is ALWAYS ON !!!!! :s

you mean that you can always use 3G without doing anything else to your settings after disabling wifi ? because the 3G icon is always noticeable on the status bar even when it's disabled
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Yes. When at home both 3G and wifi are enabled.

GSM coverage is not great in some parts of the house where my router wifi is strong; while some rooms far from the wifi router gets decent GSM coverage. So, I just let the phone choose whichever way it wants to connect when at home.

When I leave home, I manually disable wifi with a widget to save wifi scanning for router whenever the phone comes out of sleep. 3G works everywhere else, so I just leave it on 24/7. 3G power usage is negligible when there is no data traffic even when it is enabled, it's basically GSM on standby power.
[LG Optimus 2x] kefjeuh93:
Okay but i haven't got 3g coverage in my area yet so :)

but i have got edge is it using more then 3G? i know the speed is a max of 200kbps but is it using more or less then 3G?
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
I think EDGE is like a fast GPRS connection, right? I had used GPRS (aka 2G) quite some time ago, and IIRC, GPRS is billed by data connection duration rather than by data traffic. If it's also the case for EDGE, you MUST NOT leave is enabled 24/7, or else you will get a gigantic phone bill at the end of the month!

But regarding EDGE's power usage, I am afraid I am not entirely sure if it behaves like a 3G connection. Best is you test it out while monitoring battery drain, or google around for the info.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mafs:
-Which rom are you using ?

Standard V10B

-How is your battery doing over the night ?

Around 5% loss, during around 8 hours of stand-by. But I usually charge it over night.

-Is the battery inaccurate like it doesn't go higher then 98%, drops from 100 to 50 after some time or after reboot,... ?

Not that I've seen.

-Which kernel ?

2.6.32.9

-2G/3G on or off ?

Always on.

-CPU adjustments ?

None.

-Programs freezed ?

Yes.

It's rooted and I've frozen programs with Antek App Manager.

My background is mainly black (with some grids) and it's full off apps, and a battery widget.

And I've also turned down the LED button brightness down to 0.3 mA using HiddenMenu.

Currently my battery has lasted 22 hours and 16 minutes, with 44% remaining. Have used it all day as my MP3 player and I've been on the Android Market to update and download some stuff.

Pretty good so far :)
[LG Optimus 2x] kefjeuh93:
I know all that and i have got 2GB every month so no worries

but i will test the power over night :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Diskb0x:
Mafs

How did you do this?

I've had a good look through the hiddenmenu settings but can't see the section to change the LED brightness and I'm stubborn so don't want to do it with an app?

EDIT:

Found it, Device Test >>> Touch LED Brightness then scroll all the way to the bottom on the screen :D

[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
I'm gonna try the old style Nexus One's method of battery calibration. Hopefully it works, though I am not confident.

1. Plug-in charger standby, do not turn on charger yet.

2. Drain battery till it auto shutdown.

3. When it auto shutdown, immediately turn on charger.

4. Let the phone charge for 4-5 hrs.

5. After 4-5 hrs, power up phone.

The above was the Battery Calibration for Nexus One before N1 has its own Battery Drivers build-into kernel and a proper Battery Calibration Application (found in Market).

As I said, I'm not confident but will try this method. Will report here if success or failure :)
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Probably a good idea to have a small fan blowing to avoid the phone shutting down from the heat from a long recharge. Might also have to go through a few cycles to reach the battery's full potential, probably don't need the empty-to-full cycle. Please let us know what you find out.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
I've accumulated tiny experience over at Nexus One Battery Calibration and I know a small thing or two about how "some" batteries work.

The thing about Nexus One battery is it has in-build EEPROM so its the almost perfect battery to perform calibration. As for O2X, its still infant stage so no one look into it yet. But the theory "should" be similiar.

I'm doubtful but hopeful :D:D:D

Edit 1 - heavy usage with screen on for 4.5 hrs. 12 hrs use. Manage to drain battery till 0% and it auto shutdown as I expected. Now performing off charging for at least 4 hrs. I was surprised to see before it auto shutdown where at 0% the voltage was 3362mV. Pretty impressive I would say. Now I'm optimistic ...... will report soon.

Edit - failed while auto shutdown I plugin assuming it was charging. 4.5 hrs later I power up and it is at 1%. Fail!

I plugin and start charging. Monitored the charging process and found for the first time the phone was cool while charging even cool till 100%.

I'm now using this new charge and seems good. Its cool, no longer hot.
[LG Optimus 2x] kefjeuh93:
Now i have got CM7

And must say that battery is holding out much better at sleep

4 hours and not even 1% down

So i would advise to switch to CM if you are trying some new roms !!
[LG Optimus 2x] mrBira:
Have you guys tried the app BatteryCalibration from market?

I had the same prob as many of you, and this solved it for me.

guys,

in recent times i have been playing with custom rom's and today i couldn't log on to both google and facebook account. i recovered my password from password recovery of both sites.

so please be careful while trying new rom's. i dont know how the passwords are changed, is it due to these rom's or there are other reasons!
[XPERIA X8 General] Tobi@s:
MAybe your security question was as easy that every friend of yours is able to answer it ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] manux8:
until yesterday everything was fine but today i could not log on to both gmail and facebook and these are the only accounts i access through my mobile i.e x8. so i concluded that the custom rom's could have been played foul play.
[XPERIA X8 General] Blagus:
I doubt. Why would any custom ROM developer do that? It's more like some of your friends did that, not custom ROMs.
[XPERIA X8 General] manux8:
may be is it the apps i use, really i don't know how it is happened.....and i don't have any bad feeling about developers because they are doing the good jod, i have learnt many things from modding my phone.

[XPERIA X8 General] treebill:
both articles you posted show that "infected apps" are the problem and not the ROM.

open source will always have this problem as people can freely see the code and find exploits, just check the permissions of every app you download, a live wall paper asking for access to call numbers and send sms and so on is one example.
[XPERIA X8 General] oleq:
I don't think it's a rom-related issue. You have to pay more attention to the apps you install - there's always a possibility of unwanted personal data loss. By the way - why are you so sure that your passwords have been stolen from your smartphone and not from the PC? (i.e. malware?).

Another thing is that you should use only strong passwords (containing numbers, special characters etc.).

Cheers!

[Streak 5 General] asusgarb:
at first i want to tell djsteve my congratulations for his streakdroid 1.9.0 rom. i think it's really amazing. unfortunately now i've got a problem with the touchscreen. when i awake the phone from the standby, sometimes the screen doesn't answer to my touch. the physical buttons work, but the touchscreen is dead. it turns on, but when i touch it nothing happens. is it a problem of the rom or it phone's fault. the only way to solve the problem is to pull the battery out and restart the phone. i hope someone can help me thanks to everybody will answer my request.
[Streak 5 General] wtciii:
I'm having the same issue with the screen becoming unresponsive during or after a call. Pulling the battery is the only known fix
[Streak 5 General] Alexanderbooth:
I had the same problem when listening to music with the phone in my pocket. Apparently its a known fault with the phone. Something about static causing the screen to heat up and therefore making it unresponsive. My work around was to put my phone in my pocket with the screen facing outwards, instead of inwards, think the heat from my leg and the static from pocket movement froze the screen. It doesn't do it anymore, with the screen facing outwards.
[Streak 5 General] eSZee:
I have noticed this as well, however I just updated to the 351 rom so it's not a streakdroid problem. I think it might have something to do with AndroidAssistant app I just installed.
[Streak 5 General] ajairola:
Recalibrate

To fix this issue usually all you need to do is recalibrate the screen by holding vol up,vol down and the power button while the phone is off and then when the text on the screen appears select screen calibration and follow the instructions after it says successful calibration wait for the menu to comeback up and scroll down to power off(you may need to select it more than once) . This problem is caused by the screen being affected by heat and sometimes after updating the screen needs to be re-calibrated so it wont be affected.

[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
I'm working on an app where there is a requirement to "mark" an item, specifically a question on a quiz app.

There is an image button on the top of the screen and when pressed, will put a "star" by the question. The user wants this to toggle, that is, every time the imagebutton is pressed, the star will appear or disappear.

Any "easy" way to do this? LOL Obviously I know how to show and hide it. But the code on the actual button press could be a pain. Not to mention, once set to View.VISIBLE, it's visible on ALL pages of the quiz.

My thought is to store the state of the question# and status of button in a database table: Y for on, N for off. Then query that status on every page. What I prefer would be something like this:

switch(V.getid()) {
case starButton: // button pressed!
if(star.VISIBLE) // it's there already, get rid of it
star.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
else
star.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE); // not there, show it
}

There isn't a "star.VISIBLE" :( There is "star.setEnabled(true/false)", but that just "turns off" the button and grays it out a little. Any ideas? I want to keep this code short and sweet because I have to put it in onFling() too! :)

TIA,

Roots

I was fooling around with new ROM's.

When i wanted to return to my previously backup i got the "MD5 Cheksum wrong"

I then had a look at the backup i wanted to use, and checked all of the checksums manualy (using a md5 checksum checker)..........all of the MD5's it the "nandroid.md5" were correct.

The only thing i had changed was the folder name........

Any syggestions on how i can get the backup to work?........or make it skip the MD5 checksum check?

But i'm restoring it now.

For future use, can i make a folder with a name of my choice to put the backup in, and then restore from within that folder??
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Yeah I'm guessing there is a 'close enough' element involved. As for moving it, I don't think you can unfortunately.

I suppose you could move it someplace and stick it back in the /clockwork/backup folder when you want to restore though. Not ideal, though.

Well actually I like 2.2.1 with speedmod lagfix better. Only thing I like about gingerbread is the fact that they fixed the bug, where every once in a while your apps would get mixed up in the touchwiz interface. And the browser and battery life are better in gingerbread.
