Hello everyone i didn‘t wanted to create new thread so i‘ll ask here. Is it possible to root your phone with itself? Like download some app which can do it or so?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] planetj:
same here.... suspend process + starled_notify (or something like that) seems to be the sinners.

I have no idea how to stop the suspend process from using the cpu all the time.

I suppose the starled_notify is the led notifier in CM7, which I have tried to disable, but I can't figure out how.

Basically, no matter what I do with my phone, those two are the ones eating up most of my battery.

I have wiped and and tried out every monitoring, batterychecking etc app I can find, to help me figure out how to stop it.

Any ideas, please let me know...
[LG Optimus 2x] zhehao:
I guess it's not just me then.

I think its 3g that is causing the problem. With 3G on, the battery log is really steep even during sleep. With 2G, it is more gentle but it still sucks more power than normal though.

Btw anyone know where can i get a changelog for nightly version for CM7?

Want to see if i should update from RC to 84.
[LG Optimus 2x] m0bster:
I use this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wire.timeout3g&feature=search_result but I am ok with no data traffic when the phone is idle. I will try my phone without it and see if it actually make a difference.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
My Nexus one idle mode with 3G on is less than 1% per hour.

My O2X idle mode with 3G on is maybe <1-1.5% per hour (avg)

If u use excess bat% in idle mode, it simply meant your phone is not sleeping properly. Something is waking up or partially waking up your phone frequently. Unless u use some app to track down the culprit or possibly freeze your apps 1 by 1 and track down the culprit app or services, u will continue to have that high drain. U could also see in the spare parts for partial wakelock.

I don't use any such app to track down high battery drainage in idle cuz I never had such issues since I had my Android Phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] emprize:
ok, one more question, which app to listen song u guys? stock music or any other app get better sound quality?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Check your Battery graph.

Your awake and screen on should be similar. If not something is waking up your phone.

[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
Anyone tried the gingerbread 622 baseband? And did you try it with 622 GB RIL? Any improvements? Having alot of trouble with froyo 622 on CM # 71 with it droping signal. And also people are hearing everything in the background as loud as me. As a result, there's sometime feedback for the person I talk to. It's maybe like the mic is set to loudspeaker? Anyway, the first problem maybe is fixed in the newest nightly hopefully, but the other thing is kind of annoying. Is the call/sound quality better with GB 622?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
GB 622 Baseband + GB 622 RIL = Unknown Baseband

GB 622 Baseband + Old 622 RIL = OK, usable but I don't like the voice receiving, very loud and distorted.

I have since reverted to old 622 Baseband/RIL
[LG Optimus 2x] zhehao:
Thanks for the tip Temasek. Will leave it overnight later on and check it out again!
[LG Optimus 2x] b3ndech0:
yes there is an app in the market, sorry i but i cant remember the name :S
[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
Ok, thx, then I won't even bother to try it. Wierd it doesn't recognise with the 622 GB RIL. Maybe one needs the LG RILd also, but I guess that'll cause even more problems so. :p Do you btw know if all basebands on CM will break the mic, or is it just 622? Or maybe it's just me? :p With break the mic I mean that the person you talk to hear the background better then you.
[LG Optimus 2x] zebbe77:
Is the alarm clock issue fixed in #84 or do we have to flash the ddbootimage.zip to get it working?
[LG Optimus 2x] neovdr:
It is fixed!
[LG Optimus 2x] m0bster:
+1 PowerAMP. Recommended.
[LG Optimus 2x] zebbe77:
Thanks mate, flashing right now :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Etchelon:
U tried that? Isn't it a bit too early to tell? My understanding is this problem was quite random, in fact today my alarm ringed exactly in time with #83

I mean, I trust that devs are confident they fixed the issue, but if there's still any problem we'll have to wait a bit before anyone incurs in it!

Edit: new battery drain measurements.

Test conditions:

Stock kernel (on #83), BB 622, RIL 218; measurement time: 1h; 3G, average signal (around -95 dB, 8 asu), mobile data ON; display OFF; fb, twitter, tapatalk and mail in push every 30 minutes.

Results:

Accounts sync ON, Skype status ONLINE - 6% in 1h

Accounts sync OFF, Skype OFFLINE - 1-2% in 1h

Damn! So, considering the 2nd result, I think I can say there are no problems with programs misbehaving during sleep mode, right? If there were, consumption wouldn't be this low...

I'll reiterate these tests with different RILs and report, to see if that makes any difference.
[LG Optimus 2x] neovdr:
Given that I wrote the last commit I can tell you that the alarm issue was not random and that I tested it with the help of pasttime before the commit was

pulled into the repo. But you are welcome to see for yourself.
[LG Optimus 2x] chota_shivaji:
Apologies if following is already known and reported previously:

CM-RC1 + baseband 0614 + 3G/H always ON - the battery went from 96% at 11:30 PM to 8% at 8:00 AM the next morning. So I switched to nightly 83. Here also I am seeing high battery consumption if I am on 3G. Battery consumption is OK if I select "always use 2G".

Any ideas/comments regarding this?
[LG Optimus 2x] Etchelon:
Ok thanks, I'll trust you 100% on that, no reason to doubt :)
[LG Optimus 2x] jchoong:
Since several forumers here have said good things about the 606 Baseband; I moved to this today (from 622), flashed #84, followed by the 606 RIL. Initial feel - stable; calls, data, WiFi are all OK with perhaps better 3G reception. Not sure about battery. Will keep this 606 and see how it performs.
[LG Optimus 2x] zebbe77:
Tested the alarm clock a couple of times on #84 and worked fine every time.
[LG Optimus 2x] mauaus:
Looks like the G2x got official gingerbread, i wonder if its the same franken**** that leaked before
[LG Optimus 2x] fredmode01:
It seems lockscreen problem (homescreen appearing less than a second then back to lockscreen (stock, widgetlocker or CM 7 stock)) is solved with nightly #84.. :-D
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
confirmed^^
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It's a newer version of the frankenbuild unfortunately, still Froyo kernel.
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
lol LG is so lazy and baddddd

have you all read the news that they got a class action in america because of all the freezes and so on?
[LG Optimus 2x] zebbe77:
Yeah I read that yesterday lol
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
is there a app to see what wakes the phone and drains the juice?
[LG Optimus 2x] Etchelon:
Same results with 405 RIL, surprising. Moving on to the matching RIL for my current baseband but I doubt things can get much better (as they were worse till yesterday) :D

Btw: wifi strength and gps lock speed are equal. This too confirms the theory that RIL has a minor importance, the BB is what matters the most.
[LG Optimus 2x] dieghen89:
A gingerbread version 2.3.3 in uk for O2X was released ;)

[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Nothing.

Just enjoy the ROM by rori :D
[LG Optimus 2x] ref1ux:
Thankfully I still have my Nexus S, which might have poor build quality but has a great screen and runs nicely. The Optimus has a much worse screen and the software sucks. I might sell it if CM7 final doesn't get released soon :(
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Don't chase after a FINAL release. I rather wait patiently for a good solid FINAL than a poor FINAL release.
[LG Optimus 2x] lukemo:
So I think I've to go back to yours from the last...call drops problems. What do you think about it?

Another problem with CM7#5: I can't use dialer when calling operator message center...the keypad doesn't send tones I think: any hint?
[LG Optimus 2x] rori~:
;) update-cm-7.1.0-RC0-Optimus2X-KANG

check 1 + 2
[LG Optimus 2x] Fuse1:
I'm in 0315 and i can use the dialer...tried several times and no problem at all. to me the only problem is the apps menu...it's a bit laggy.

I'm on cm_p990_full-5.zip
[LG Optimus 2x] ElecTriX666:
+1. Same problem here.

So no bugfixes, only added more functions?
[LG Optimus 2x] BrumBrum74:
Running Update 5 and my battery suddenly went from fully charged to 0 in around an hour.

Have to recharge battery. Did a full wipe before installing Update 4 and then updated to Update 5 without any wipe.

Also ran battery calibration after fully charge.

Will recharge phone again and try and see if it happens again.
[LG Optimus 2x] narsyl:
I have dailer problems with cm_p990_full-0.zip, but now is gone with cm_p990_full-4.zip.

My only issue is the lcd brightness, when the phone gets back from standby change to full brightness.
[LG Optimus 2x] Fuse1:
same problem here (mine does not changes to full brightness but to the defaults).

with cm_p990_full-5.zip
[LG Optimus 2x] machtwerk:
Titanium Backup restore working again for me (after copying the files where they belong - now). Cannot confirm the fast battery drain, working fine fo me so far :D

I still don't have ADB access. I uninstall the LG drivers, and the PC doesn't BSOD when I connect the phone. I don't get ADB though; in order for ADB to work, I have to install the LG drivers. When I do, my PC BSODs. Fun!*

*for a very specific definition of fun, hereafter known as "not fun"
[LG Optimus 2x] spences10:
How do you uninstall the LG drivers? is it from device management?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
If u are in Windows 7 OS, its under "Program & Features". Remove all LG related stuffs.
[LG Optimus 2x] spences10:
Sorry should have mentioned I'm on xp
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Erm.....

Open control panel --> Add/Remove Programs (???)

Based on memory...........(may not be exact words)
[LG Optimus 2x] BigBlue007:
If you remove the LG driver, you don't have ADB anymore, and AFAIK you don't even have mass storage, because Win requires the LG driver even for mass storage support.

Paul over at Modaco had this BSOD issue as well, AFAIR in FR12 or FR13. He was able to replicate it and fixed it in MCR, but I don't know how exactly. But the issue was definitely with the ROM, not on the PC.

I have this issue with all CM builds again. It's a BSOD that refers to a failure in "lgandbus64.sys" and I'm quite sure it's the same issue that Paul had, and it needs to be fixed in the ROM as well.

edit - found the thread on Modaco. It says that the MCR build with that issue was using a CM kernel, and all current CM kernels would have that issue. So obviously Paul solved the issue in FR15 by replacing the kernel.

Are there any non-CM kernels that could be used with CM7?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
I removed all LG drivers.

I am able to mount as USB Mass Storage, USB tethering and adb is working well.

I'm on build 5 using Windows 7 PC.
[LG Optimus 2x] mikael120:
you only need lg drivers when you use lg based roms, because they use a non-standard way of connection to the pc, cm however handles usb like all other android phones, which means that you don't need the lg drivers.
[LG Optimus 2x] spences10:
Found it! thanks dude :)

I thought the BSOD issues was resolved in a previous nightly?? oh well, not long now for some proper awesomeness on the x2

For all the bugs and issues there are with this for some reason I still love it, as opposed to the NS I had for all of about a week before changing it for a Desire Z
[LG Optimus 2x] ionhide:
And this is relevant for CM7 in what way ?

Just kidding, but as with other releases not much has been able to contribute to CM7 - But i might be wrong. Looking forward to someone posting it in a seperate topic, rooted preferebly..
[LG Optimus 2x] bjohv052:
After a week of travel I just read the last 30 pages. Those of you having touch screen problems, please star the following issue and contribute with any findings:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=4055

Remember, starring an issue is one of the best ways to get attention.
[LG Optimus 2x] BritSwedeGuy:
After 9 hours I was still seeing 4-5% drain per hour with light usage - last night it stayed at 100% for 5 hours! :confused:

I can't see how it can be a rogue app with so many of us experiencing it - but then others aren't...
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
this has been fixed for some time now by pastime. dont have that have this issue since 70ties or so.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Spare Parts
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
@ grognaz, bjohv052,

it seems that the touch screen issue is (somewhat) resolved even without my kernel hack.

(not sure when and how it happened, though.)

if you still like GRIP SUPPRESSION disabled, i will try to keep the kernel up to date at mediafire folder for up-to-date touchscreen kernel hack and libui scalefactor fix (i recommend both ddbootimg.zip and libui.zip there)
[LG Optimus 2x] zebbe77:
Do you folks wipe your battery stats between the nightlys? Or just flash and be happy...
[LG Optimus 2x] Etchelon:
Afaik wiping battery stats doesn't give an immediate effect, because the files you delete in the process (which basically contain usage statistics about battery consumption) need to be rebuilt with a few (5-6) charge/discharge cycles. So why would anyone wipe stats every 1-2 days? U would never see the effects...

Am I correct or things work differently?
[LG Optimus 2x] zebbe77:
I have completely no clue, but I think you just answered that for me. Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] mauaus:
would be nice to know if theres a new baseband with it ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Wiping battery stats does **** all as far as I'm concerned, so I don't ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] joelteixeira:
Something like this. Usually the nightly is released at the momment I'm going to work. (9:00am here). Since I don't want to download every update using 3G, and my expectatations of getting problems I have with the current release solved are to high I keep checking time to time while I'm making myself ready to go. =]

This days right after aswering some calls, it gets dropped. And really annoys me. And the screen goes black right after a call. Every release is a new hope, but still here. Maybe tomorrow, I keep telling me. ;D
[LG Optimus 2x] omiblack:
Can you confirm that? Cause in general section people tried with no results. I guess it's a fake news
[LG Optimus 2x] dieghen89:
My font is the same italian blog :/

Sent from my Optimus 2X
[LG Optimus 2x] joelteixeira:
Even the Optimus 3D (just released) still using Froyo as OS.

I don't know your opinions guys, and not just for complaining... but I think this is the last LG device I own. Samsung looks much more concerned about bring the latest updates to his customers.

Someone knows if is already official what company will take care of Nexus 3?
[LG Optimus 2x] Basil 123:
Got a 'bad' BSOD today (only a battery pull restarted it). Dont know if it's related but was using Bluetooth with my car just prior. Notifications beeped but as I was driving didnt check on it. See that Rusty had the same prob with #84.

Unrelated info most likely, I've been running BB + RIL 622 (the original pair) and Voodoo Control + for the last couple of nightlies.
[LG Optimus 2x] joelteixeira:
I don't believe is related, had the same problem at my work and with bluetooth disabled. And sometimes after type a phone number and call, the screen goes black too.
[LG Optimus 2x] chong81:
No contest on the O3D.

But Samsung took a looong time to release GB for their Galaxy S.
[LG Optimus 2x] mcnob:
That update is for the T-Mobile G2X. I'm assuming the O2X version isn't buggy enough to release yet.
[LG Optimus 2x] neovdr:
Until we actually see a gingerbread kernel on another Tegra device I would be more inclined to blame nVidia...
[LG Optimus 2x] bjohv052:
Thank you so much for your efforts, I really appreciate it. I'm on an old nightly, but will try with a newer one. I'm also learning git, so I'll be able to apply your diff and build my own kernel if necessary.
[LG Optimus 2x] pastime1971:
this is the link for kernel compilation. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_Kernel_from_source

however, you need to do "git clone git://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-star.git" to get LGE STAR kernel for P990, and use arch/arm/configs/star_cyanogenmod_defconfig for .config

edit: in the vorkKernel thread, there is an instruction for vorkKernel compilation.
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
Jepp. If was warned bout lgs update policy but that it is bad that way i never thought.

Cant understand that. The hardware is always well but the software is mostly buggy and ****.

Was the same with the arena.

I thought they learned from history but i think the dont

Shame on them

Just threaten a lawsuit in the US and you get results. Breaks root though apparently :rolleyes:

Likely that as we speak, it's being picked apart for potentially useful goodies for us lot :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I wouldn't.

Tegra 2.6.36 is in AOSP ready and waiting. Seems to me that LG are just being lazy.
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
means its still ready but LG doesnt release the suiting version named gingerbread?

damn bastards...
[LG Optimus 2x] aremcee:
No. Means you have no idea of the amount of effort involved in updating it.

I don't like it any more than you do, but I don't think most of you realize how very little benefit would come from that update, and how much work would imply for them.
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
no offend to you

i am absolutly happy with CM7 so far

i still have gingerbread

i just dont like in generell how LG behaves with us "customers"

thats it
[LG Optimus 2x] omiblack:
So why we are not using it?
[LG Optimus 2x] chong81:
Has anyone who previously did not see Flash video corruption tried my method, and successfully saw corruption? Haven't received any feedback yet...

[LG Optimus 2x] rejj:
Just had a wierd occurance on my device with nightly #84.

Sound notification for low batt, picked it up out of pocket.

Turn screen on, Connect your charger on screen -> Spontaneous shutdown.

Longpress power on -> boots up -> Battery level at 43 %.

Anything I should be looking at to determine the cause ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Because we don't have the userspace for it.
[LG Optimus 2x] aremcee:
Actually, we do, for the most part. What we don't have are the star-specific configurations and drivers, which can't be ported from .32 due to an entirely different mach-tegra code architecture starting from 2.6.34. That's why I understand the fact that LG is avoiding it, it would be basically restarting from 0.
[LG Optimus 2x] ranrick:
i have it as well with almost all HQ/HD flash videos. no solutions found yet but sometimes a reboot helps
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Ah well that's me corrected :D

Does sound like a pain, and I notice that the Atrix GB is also still using .32 so I'm guessing this is going to be a common phenomenon with Tegra2 phones.
[LG Optimus 2x] baen:
Well, we can hope that will change with Ice Cream... Only hope
[LG Optimus 2x] aremcee:
I'd guess that any Tegra device that started out pre-.34 will stay that way for its lifetime, unless something huge changes in a more recent version.

Currently, the effort to do an update vastly outweighs the benefit from doing it.

I would benefit from it because it would significantly ease my work (the new arch is much cleaner than the original odm_kit stuff), and their engineers probably would, too, but for actual usage there simply isn't anything to gain from an update.
[LG Optimus 2x] chong81:
I know of another way to reproduce the error, and I'm sure there's others as well.

I created the video because not everyone encountered corruption, and I found a method which could reproduce it everytime on my set. I wanted to see if that's the case for others as well.

BTW, it works everytime even after a reboot.
[LG Optimus 2x] aremcee:
I seriously doubt that. nVidia's HC kernel is basically the same as their GB kernel, and right now nothing points towards that changing for ICS (which is supposed to be "just" a merger of the GB and HC code trees)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I doubt there is going to be an official ICS for the P990 anyway.
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Can't you just resize the video like the rest of us to fix it?

It's really boring seeing "flash doesn't work" all the time when, in fact, AFAIK it does work but occasionally/randomly scrambles and is quickly fixed...

I accept it's an issue but it's hardly a big impact one surely?

Or have I misunderstood the issue?
[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
Is it just for me the mic on the phone picks everything up louder then yourself? What I mean with this is, the persons I talk to complains about they hear the background noice as loud, or even louder, as me. I am using 622 baseband, so if anyone NOT experiencing this on an other baseband, let me know which one you use. :) To explain better, it's maybe like the mic is set to speakerphone, or something, I dunno. :p

Edit: This is also what causes feedback sometimes when I talk to people.
[LG Optimus 2x] ranrick:
I have an other issue with flash corruption. When watching a video, it has a lot of colored blogs and lines in the video. Resizing it doesn't help at all as you can see on the pictures. If you wish, i can also do a video.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Happens to me too. I am dreaded/feared in all conference calls I attend at work!
[LG Optimus 2x] Etchelon:

anyone already tried/built the newest GPS commit? Looks awesome.
[LG Optimus 2x] chong81:
Can you post some direct links? I'd like to try.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
We can't.

It's a catch 22 at the moment, we need a new nightly to get the props that the GPS userspace commit needs.

Edit: Actually, I wonder if that's the reason there isn't a nightly yet, they're missing lge.cer file as well :D
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Failed building it.

Probably needs to extract files from p990 when new build is up and flashed.
[LG Optimus 2x] Etchelon:
I trust you when you say there's a lot of work to do, but LG is a huge company and they should be working on GB since April at least...how long can it take??

Not that I'm desperate to have this new kernel, actually I don't know anything about it so I don't even understand if and why that would be better...

If you say that it wouldn't even help you out with CM7 because what u really need are drivers, I really don't care about this kernel.

I was just astonished when you said LG is avoiding the job cos it takes a lot of time...like it's too hard even for a company of such power.
[LG Optimus 2x] Etchelon:
Followed your steps, have that corruption as well using Dolphin 6.

It's indeed a minor problem though.
[LG Optimus 2x] BritSwedeGuy:
Ask yourself this, the question all big companies ask themselves with every single decision they make:

Will it make them any money?
[LG Optimus 2x] neovdr:
Really??? Then I now blaim LG for lazyness. Simple as that. Bastards....

EDIT: Corrected by arcee's remarks. Oh well as long as we have a speedy CM7 we don't need LG.
[LG Optimus 2x] nintendolinky:

[LG Optimus 2x] fallout0:
For devs with a little bit more experience with Android + other phones. Is the kernel source code as bad as from LG? Because it is just downright crap. Hope the other phones are not like that.

[LG Optimus 2x] nintendolinky:
Yeah sure, I am only asking as i don't want to install the 84 release, for the 85 to come out and for me to have to redo my phone again, as I am going on holiday in the morning, and don't have much time to get ready etc.
