So I have an LG Optimus One and it's headphone jack is messed up for some reason.

It's well under warranty so no problem regarding that, BUT I've rooted my phone and installed a custom ROM.

Should I flash the stock ROM back and unroot my phone before sending it to the service center, or should I just take it as it is? Would they void my warranty if they find out?

I'm located in New Delhi, India, if someone has any such experiences please tell.

Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ciolnadu:
whell someone said u should get it back stock

i belive u know what that means
[Optimus One, P500, V General] abccccc:
why take any chances,flash it back to stock.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
if the prob is with the headphone just chk it on another phone if it works , if ur phone jack is messed up than flash stock rom orelse they will consider it warranty void
[Optimus One, P500, V General] virusshah1997:
Is rooting and flashing illegal ?? can i go to service center and degrade my cell from 2.2.1 to 2.2 ....

I know there is a ginger break .... but i prefer dat way... plz help...

in problem of urs i suggest to go to stock rom .... unroot it .. or take a,new hhead phone
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gokulvarma:
Yes rooting and flashing is illegal. There's a fine of $ 10000 and imprisonment of 3yrs if found guilty and they will also sue your properties
[Optimus One, P500, V General] victortangocharlie:
Good one... Had a nice laugh
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bindaasathar:
Are you serious? Its not Illegal I think since it doesn't have impact on sales of the company or has anything to do with the company or manufacturer of the phone. Max they can do is VOID the warranty. Nothing else.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
Rooting the device voids your warranty. Nothings illegal. If u want warranty back flash stock rom using kdz updater method. Or if u have just rooted stock rom then unroot.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cyanide911:
Alright I'll flash the original ROM back, won't risk it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gokulvarma:
I think you should first flash humour_sense_10.1.img into ur brain. :p lol
[Optimus One, P500, V General] superkid.net:

$50 bounty to the developer / hacker that can get the touch screen working, keyboard working or the data off my my clients droid pro.

The droid pro boots just fine but freezes about 1 second after it is fully booted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dukenukemx:
The first thing I would do is try to flash it back to the original firmware. If that is not possible, then I would look into jtag.

Another possibility could be something with the hardware. Another solution would be to take apart the phone, and clean each contact for each wire found. Preferably with contact cleaner sprays. The phone could have been dropped, and a wire could have came lose.

Without any details on what lead to the problem, there's not much else that can be said.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] josefcrist:
This phone is running the verizon carrier rom not a custom. I that that my client downloaded an incompatible / malicious app.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhutpham:
Hi, I rooted someone's phone with CM7 and they asked me a question I didn't know the answer to.

Is it possible to change the lockscreen so that it uses a pattern unlock after say, 1 hour of time has passed? Preferrably using a slide unlock before that much time has passed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cares:
You mean setting the pattern unlock to turn on only after 1 hour of time? But otherwise just a key guard on otherwise?

Settings > Cyanogen Settings > Lockscreen > Delay and timeout

Change both settings 'Screen timeout delay' and 'Screen turned off delay'. Looks like 30m is the maximum though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I know there is a bunch of threads about this but I am considering about a replacement at this point.

My battery is draining pretty fast doing same task as with my Galaxy S 4G. Web, few games, texts, few calls.

My battery life is around 5-9 hours and gotta recharge twice a day at this point. I though it would get better with time, had the phone since launch day.

What are your experiences?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Any advise?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
I get 12-16+ hours heavy use

I'm in a 3g only area so I'm guessing people that live in a 4g network see worse battery drain.... I'd honestly stop all synching and do a full charge with battery wipe
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Any one with same experiences?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I already tried with about 3-4 factory reset, deleting battery stats with battery calibrator and clock work mod.

Still horrible

:(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
I don't think 3G/4G makes a difference on battery usage. It's HSPA vs HSPS+, both are 3G, just one is a bit faster. It's not like Verizon where you have 3G and LTE 4G, and one sucks up more juice than the other.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] teleknEsis:
lol yeah, it's pretty funny how all T-Mobile has to do is put a "4G" icon in your notification bar and people think the phone is running on a different network. The only thing that's different than, say, a N1, is that the G2x has a higher top end. Wireless companies have really effed everyone in the head with this 3G/4G BS.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
i just guessed :D

but this device is know for having driver issues/mega bloatware running unless frozen or removed

and its a android phone... its not going to have a lot of battery left after powering all the bull spit that is running on it/screen/tethering/gps/mms & texting let alone all the other stuff people do with this phone....

talk to tmobile maybe you can get a new battery sent after saying yours is bogusly sucking.....

other than that wait for the drivers to be fixed.... a stable rom like BIONIX that krylon is baking in the oven and a UV/OC kernel MorFic is putting in the steamer as well....

its been less than 20 days this phone obviously has some issue's since LAUNCH

but to just give up like some people are doing and going to the HTC crapsation with 3.0 sense and a locked (not encrypted thank god) bootloader that will most likely have some issues as well is just flat out idiotic....

(i dont mean people dumping the phone are stupid... just expecting too much out of a 2 week old phone)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
all battery's like that....(hd2, nexus s, nexus one, g2x)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grenademasta:
My battery goes from full to 99% in about 6 hours when I sleep and wake up. The phone is not turned off btw. I am now using "Juice Defender Ultimate". Paid $3 and change when you get the free version and upgrade it from that free app (otherwise I think it is around $6). I have it at the "extreme" profile which shuts all wifi and data. I disable it and then turn on either wifi or data when I need to use it (Use Switchpro to toggle on and off easily from my home screen). I also the free Advanced Task Killer with only ATK and Juice Defender running. In 12 hours of using the phone a few times, texts, and even surfing the web, and watching 20 mins of video I still have about 80%. It makes a big difference.

I just make sure to use my ATK before I turn the screen off on my phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grenademasta:
Oh yeah I also rooted my phone and removed all bloatware.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wildone81:
Well, when I had a G2x, it wasn't too bad at the start, but after I tried the HDMI output, the battery life went to hell in a heartbeat, i.e. full to dead within 8 hours with no network connectivity, and the phone always using the battery even when off. I think the HDMI output got shorted somehow to always on, and thus never stopped drawing power for nothing. Besides, my G2 was never anywhere near as bad as the G2x in power usage, even back at stock unrooted Froyo, so to give a blanket statement of "all Android phones suck down batteries like nothing" is simply an over-generalization.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
im not saying all android phones batteries suck..... but take into consideration what these phones are doing.... and you cant really compare the G2x to any other android phone except the Atrix and o2X because its a dual core...... so comparing it to a galaxy s 4G or a nexus s isnt really giving this phone the credit it deserves
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I will try once again and see hoe much it last before it is down to 10%. Wiped battery stats last night and realized that i had unfreeze my account. So i just froze it again and recharged the phone.

Don't get me wrong though i really like this phone alot better than my other two smartphones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dougstoner:
I've tried all the tricks listed before (freezing apps, doing the secret menu, etc), and still had TERRIBLE battery life. I tried installing an app (switch pro), and had a toggle switch for data on and off thinking it might help. It helped just slightly. What did work, was putting a 2g-4g toggle switch on, and it has made a night and day difference. This, and I used the battery calibration program a few times, and in clockwork. Normally, I wake up at 6:30am and by the time it's 4pm I was normally down to 35ish %. Now, I'm at around 85% when I leave work. I'm thinking it has to do with the 2g, but it doesn't make sense that when I toggled data off, I got terrible battery, and just switching to 2g makes that big of a difference. Either way, I'm SUPER happy with battery life now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] piztol44pete:
i really have to question people saying they get 20+ hours of battery life, i mean if i stop all sync, disconnect 4g and only use 2g, not use the internet, shut off wifi, no bluetooth and do all the tricks that people have suggested. I still don't get a full day's use. but what the H is the point of having a super phone that i can't use it's functions i might as well get a clam shell phone that lasts 3 days without charging. I really like this phone but at this point the battery life is killing me i have to take like 3 different chargers everywhere i go!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctt0002:
I don't see how you guys are still having battery problems. One a full charge, i'm able to get at least 12+ hrs with moderate to heavy use. Facebook and 3 email sync is set at 1 hr. About 100+ text and 10 emails a day. Wifi is on the whole time. Wifi calling as well. My screen brightness is set to auto. GPS is also always on.

I have to admit, the first few days, the battery life was about the same as my hd2 running android, but its gotten better now and its amazing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
Solution: buy a new battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] antoniouslj:
I get about 266ma usage while listening to Slacker with the screen on (low brightness).

If you do the math, 1500mah will give you 1500ma of usage in one hour which means I could listen to slacker with the screen on for about 5 1/2 hours. With the screen off it's around 140-150ma of usage. I should get 10 hours of Slacker listening as long as I don't turn on the screen. I'd consider this good battery life, since my ZuneHD doesn't get that much more than this when listening to the radio.

I get this level of battery after freezing and using autostarts on all third party system apps. I have GPS disabled along with WIFI when not using it. I'm not using SetCPU, however, as I have issues with Slacker skipping when I control the frequencies while the device sleeps. I also have my radio set to "WCDMA/GSM Auto". I don't use a task killer, but I do use Battery Monitor Widget Pro. That is the only widget I have active that continually monitors or syncs something in the background.

I also have an exchange server and my gmail account set to push along with Tweetdeck set to 30min updates. I'm using an app called Levity for reply and DM notifications from Twitter.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dolphinwigs:
try these steps

with lithium-ion batterys you need to overcharge them past "full" the first time, maybe a second, because the battery is never 100% charged when you get it. after this i would turn it off, then plug it in again for an hour. then when you turn it on wipe battery stats right away. let it drain completely after without plugging in. DO NOT LET IT DIE. lithium-ion batteries do not have the "memory effect." they have a limited amount of charges but last much longer than older nickel batteries. recharge when it gets to 1%

after this it should work better. also check what is running in background such as background data and autosync. also you may have a lot of programs/services that are use power in the background.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
See the attachment... 43% remaining on battery life. Sorry dude.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
I gotta say.. all of these pieces of advice, they sound great.. but I did none of them. Running the google setup... nope, didn't do it. Charged it over 100% for the first run?.. nope. It was turned on in the store, google setup skipped.. Came home, messed with it for a bit, put it on the charger. Soon as it hit 100%, I unplugged it.. didn't wait to go over for an hour.

The first few charges didn't have quite the life but it progressively got better. The 2nd charge, I let the phone die all the way down. They say you don't need to do that for lith batteries, but I did.. Didn't hurt anything.. Not sure if it helped either. Just a habit I been in.

I tried a free task killer.. shut crap down 20x a day. I read an article.. it's not good to do that cuz you're using battery to kill the app..and battery when they restart. So you're actually using more battery life than if you just left them alone. Android handles them fine.. As they sit idle, they disappear. So I downloaded Titanium backup, paid for it, and froze the apps that I didn't want starting all the time. I watched things starting up with the task killer while using Titbackup for a cpl of days and it all went well.., no other apps starting.. so I uninstalled it. Then, I added the watchdog app, which actually watches cpu usage, which... is the true source of battery usage.. not an idle running app. CPU usage is all good... nothing is taking off wild on it.

Tasks frozen - appPack, browser, car home (2 of them?), com.logmein.rescue and com.logmein.rescuesecurity, Email, maps, my account (2 of them?), nfs shift, nova, telenav, tmo TV, tegrazone, video chat, zinio reader, and zsprovider.

I'm running wi-fi 95+% of the time with wifi calling. Sync is off when I'm at home or work since I have a computer available. So sync is off 95+% of the time as well.. Sync is turned on, as well as 2g/3g/4g, only when i'm away from the house or work.

I have noticed a few times the 4g signal comes up when I have wifi enabled. Not often, but it happens almost once every cpl of days. I shut off wifi, start it again.. good to go.

Not sure what to tell you.. If I were in your shoes, my first option would be to get a new battery and check it out.. (I'd hit up tmo for it first).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Why should u have to buy a new battery for a new device. And I question it too. I get 8 hrs tops moderate to heavy use. Im not turning off 4g thats what I bought it for besides it being dual core. Anyone can get 23+ barely touching the phone. Try reporting actual use internet synching messaging gaming etc. sorry dont believe u.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Im freezing apps to see if it makes a difference
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mashix:
how many times did you fully charge it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] piztol44pete:
the fact that we have to go through all these steps to use a damn phone is Efing ridiculous i always bought a phone charged it and used it, not having to worry about charging it 3 times a day or jumping in place, holding my breath, singing show tunes, drinking water while jumping rope. i bought this phone to use it to its full capabilities, meaning speed speed speed. but i can't do that. if i paid 500 for this phone i would be pissed and would def expect to use it all day for surfing the web, emailing and maybe playing a game or two without worrying about the battery dying
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Same here pistol, i'm very hesitant to return it...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Just setup ultimate juice
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
You just set it up? Let me know how it works. What a headache
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
**Exhales** yea ill let u know. The price we pay for having a dual core
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
I had a blackberry, 2 years old man, battery was shot, so I had an upgrade and upgraded to the g2x, but now i'm hesitant man, i would have gotten the sidekick for the keypad and all that, but I wanted a cooler, more adultish looking phone. But something tells me I made a mistake.. I just hope this battery issue gets dealt with. I hate having to see my battery drain away
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
I guess you're only option is to keep complaining then.. or return the phone? The specs on the phone I believe say talk time of 7hrs.. you're getting 8 with moderate to heavy usage of more than just talk time. What's the problem? If the specs said 15 and you're getting 8, you have a valid complaint.

You don't believe me after I post a picture, lol. Of course.. if I was using syncing all day, playing games and browsing the web with moderate to heavy usage.. I would expect 8hrs of battery.. duh..?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
I'm only texting.... and I'm getting 8 hours.. problem
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
how many txts/day? a few? hundreds?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Today? I'd say about 50, not even honestly. I'd stay at 65% percent and then as soon as I open my phone to text a few of my cousins for a like 10 minutes, I'd get a 2% drop, it's really weird
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Im comparing to everyone that is getting 80hrs on their device. Yes I will complain.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 299792458:
I'm at about 50-60 percent after 10 hours. This is one or two short phone calls (3 mins) , an hour of podcasts (Google listen) and 15-20 mins of web. Then when I hit 30 or 40 percent it seems it goes downhill quickly. I'm lucky if I make it 3 hours more using short bursts of msg forum checkups over Wi-Fi. Better than my n1 though. I can actually make it through what is essentially a full day.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
2% drop doesn't sound like much for 10min of txting.. I think the phone will stay stuck at a % for a bit when it's first started up.. once it gets some usage, it may find itself? idk..

I shut the screen down at 43%.. and left the house. Turned on 4g and syncing. I a cpl of phone calls, checked a few email msgs.. and it sat idle for an hour or 2 while visiting w/ friends. I checked a msg when I left.. When i got home, I turned on wifi, shut off syncing, messed around w/ titbackup a bit.. and checked out watchdog. browsed a cpl pages on the web. Then I just got off a 30in call. I'm down to 31% now. Running close to 28hrs right now. Earlier in a post I posted 23hrs at 43%.. now I'm 28 at 31%. I'll plug it in b4 bed so it's charged for work in the morning.

I sent around 150txts the other day, did some browsing, messed around w/ apps, etc...moderate use.. and I still got around 18hrs that day. Sure, if I had sync on all day, browsed, etc.. in heavy use.. I could easily see 8hrs of battery life. That's a no brainer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
2% drop for texting is not that much? But then your telling me you get 18 hours a day with all that usage on your phone?

Do people make their battery usages up? Seriously...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 299792458:
I forgot to mention that when I provisioned my SIM the CSR interrupted my setup and made me reboot. My battery life sucked (lucky to make it 8 hours sometimes) at first.

I completely discharged the battery then did a full charge with the phone off, then did a factory reset. I have also discontinued use of Wi-Fi calling because it was showing CPU usage of 3-5% all the time. Since then I can now make it 13 plus hours under what i consider to be similar usage. I'm not rooted for what its worth, but I really saw Wi-Fi calling as one of my biggest problems. I still want this capability but don't want the battery drain I think I see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Yup, that's what I'm telling ya.. and nope, not making it up. Sorry that your phone sux... not everyone's is sucking on battery usage. Just because you got shafted doesn't mean everyone else is lying.. How about this.. maybe you're the one making stuff up? Maybe.. just maybe you are using the crap out of a dual core phone and are expecting a full day of usage?

My last post on here, I had 31% battery. the phone sat idle.. I just turned it on and sent around 5 txt msgs to a friend.. messed around on the scrn w/ misc. stuff for 7min. It dropped to 29%. 4txts/5min later, 28%. 5 txts/4min later.. 28%. 5txts/4min, 27%. Browser open, browsed the news and finances for 5min while sending a cpl of txts, 26%. 6min of a cpl more txts, checking battery stats.. 25%. Done.. screen off - 6% drop, 26min of txting/messing around.. 5min of browsing. Since last unplugged, 1day 5hrs.

That's the kind of usage on my phone.. Believe it or not, I frankly don't care.. Am I going all day like that on my phone? Of course not.. here and there.. not constantly. If it was in moderate to heavy usage (doing the above mentioned 10+ times a day), gaming, browsing often, syncing all day, etc.. I'd be at around 8hrs of battery usage.. duh? Would it make sense for me to be complaining in such a scenario? No, it wouldn't..

That's not to say I don't believe some are having challenges. If someone is just sending 50txt a day and a few 3min phone calls during the day, nothing else... and they are getting 8hrs.. there is something else going on, something seriously wrong. I'd install watchdog and figure it out.. install task killer, see the apps that are constantly running, and get titanium backup and freeze them (or delete them out). Do I believe there is probably more usage than what people are saying? definitely..

What I know for fact is that if I sent 50 txts after a full charge tomorrow morning.. and had a cpl 3min phone calls, I guarantee you I will still get at least 30hrs on a full charge. I also guarantee that I'll be doing much more than just 50txts on that charge.. Heck, I'm at 29hrs right now and just sent nearly 30txts.. with 25% remaining. Wait.. I'm still sending txts, probably around 10more.. Ya, I'm close to 50txts sent now.. and I'm at 24%.. Wait a sec, i got another txt.. 5more min on it.. 5more txts.. still 24%.

that's how it is...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Thanks for your long and wonderful post.. it's a different story for me, I guess I have to install watchdog then.

And no, I'm not using the crap out of the phone.
