[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Np.. I just plugged my phone in and wanted to report on what happened during this charge. I unplugged it yesterday at 8a as I left for work. I had a couple lengthy calls at work and checked a few emails. Sent around 5 txt msgs. Came home.. went to church.. browsed the web for a bit in the pew before church started, haha.

I came home and was in a conversatoin w/ a friend in txt msgs. I sent over 100 txts. This morning, I had a few phone calls for work.. and just finished txting with a friend.. around another 25+ txts. I used the browser again for 5min.. The phone just flashed that I'm below 15%, to plug it in. That gives me 29.5hrs.. It probably would have hit my typical 30-32, but I gotta be somewhere later, so I plugged it in.

When this charge is done, I will focus more on browsing.. maybe play some music.. and get myself to using it on a moderate level and let ya know what I get. I'm going to guesstimate around 15-20hrs on moderate use..

After the charge, I installed ATK and rebooted the phone too. Immediately I had 13 apps running.. all which I want on the phone and don't want to freeze via titanium backup. I didn't shut them down. Later at work I checked, and 11 were running. BUT.. when I open up watchdog.. the CPU is 0.0% on like 7-8 of them. You see, they are not using the battery.. they are just sitting there, doing nothing. Sure, memory is allocated to it.. but it's not using the battery. Sitting dormant. If something else starts up and it needs memory, the app that is dormant shuts down. Android is very good at this. Later in the day I looked and like only 8apps were running.. so 5 shut down on their own throughout the day.

You see.. I shut down 6 of those apps that were running. 2hrs later I looked, they were all running again. Battery usage to shut down/restart them.. Don't bother... waste of time and battery.

The only thing I can say that is helping me is that I use wifi and wifi calling A LOT. The majority of the places I go.. home, work, friends.. they all have wifi. The only time I use cell service is when I'm on the road.. That may be the difference.. idk.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
p.s. watchdog can also use battery if you set the interval to low. I have mine at 5min and I think 40%.. That's just to catch an app that has gone wild on ya. For the most part, I just pop into it once in a while and then turn on the real time cpu usage real quick.. to see what is being used adn what isn't. Then I shut off teh real time cpu and get out of it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Ah it was on 1 minute for me, I have it on 5 minutes now, it's slightly better than yesterday not going to lie. But I'm not getting ridiculous hours like most people here are getting, no way, and all I've been using it for is texting... and let me be honest.. I do a lot of texting.. almost constantly. Maybe that's why I have the drainage
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
What do you typically have your screen brightness on? I'm gonna have to assume that the display is at the top of the list for things using up the battery? lol. That's gotta be it man.. Your only option is to reduce the screen brightness or go to some Texting Anonymous meetings. ;)

I use the lowest setting unless I'm outdoors, then I can't see that sucker and have to turn it up a notch..

I had 200 txts yesterday, 125 so far today.. 81% battery after 4hrs of being unplugged. The display is constantly at the bottom of my list for items using the battery. If it's at the top of yours or near the top.. You're just using your phone a lot.. nothing wrong w/ the battery.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:
You guys are getting way too emotional about your batteries. I bet the people who get better life use their phone moderately and then... they put it in their pocket, and don't worry about it. The people who get poor battery go crazy rooting and Modding and doing every possible thing to help, but then probably waste battery constantly checking their battery percentage and running apps... How about this. Use the phone, put it in your pocket. Don't turn the screen on all the time to see the battery level... don't check it in settings... see what happens. I never got better battery life until I realized how much I check, only after being injected with frivolous paranoia from people freaking about it. Hope this may help. Try to relax and enjoy the phone for a day, you'll save a lot by not checking.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Good point, I think my battery is just draining at my job because of the piss-poor reception, when I was at home I was getting really good battery life.

That sucks I guess, have to live with it or something
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
FYI, I get poor reception at home. I forgot to put my phone on wifi/wifi calling last night. Woke up this morning and my battery took a huge dive. Just saying.. the wifi/wifi calling is probably your best friend on this battery issue..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Thanks, but can you text with wifi/wifi calling? I usually text when I'm at work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Yes, you can do everything that you would normally do on the phone with wifi..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Sorry for the noob and dumb questions, I had a blackberry before this (no data plan) for such a long time and never used any internet on my phone. This is my 1st android and 1st phone with internet. Had the sidekick back in high school though.

Everytime I lock my phone and then unlock it how come wi-fi isn't still on? It has to reboot? Does that mean I won't get text messages while my phone is locked?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
First things first.. There is a sequence that has to be followed on my phone.. It's kinda stupid, but you have to do this if you're using wifi calling (this is only related if you are using wifi calling) -

After turning on wifi, turn on wifi calling.. No brainer. Otherwise, you'll be using wifi and the towers at the same time.

But, more importantly.. after the above is done and wifi calling is on. PRIOR to leaving a wifi area... you must go in and shut off wifi calling first.. and then shut off the wifi.

If you don't, then when the wifi is shut off (or when you leave the signal area), the wifi calling gets stuck trying to find the signal. You won't pick up a tower and you'll be dead in the water because the phone is stuck, trying to use wifi calling. As soon as wifi calling is shut off, it picks up a tower. As soon as you shut off wifi, it switches over the web traffic to the tower.

Now, to your question.. You are probably not connected when the phone locks. When you successfully connect to the wifi the 2g, 3g, 4g, should go away. If it doesn't, you're not connected and if you're moving data, you're probably still moving it off of the tower. Sometimes.. I'll turn on my wifi and the 2g/3g/4g shows up still.. I have to turn it off and back on.

Your best test is to turn on wifi, then go into wifi calling.. see if it finds a signal. It won't let you turn wifi callling on OR off (as mentioned above) if there is no wifi connection. The on/off button won't show up without a wifi connection. This is why you get stuck in on mode if you leave the wifi area.. and that's why the phone is dead in the water.

You'll see.. after you do it a handful of times, you'll remember to shut it off. Advanced Task Killer won't kill it for me either. I guess I can try killing it via the settings > apps section.. haven't tried that yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Hmm okay thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
plus, if it's a first time connection to a specific wifi connection... it won't automaatically connect. You have to go into menu > settings > wireless & networks > wifi settings.. then connect to the wifi you are trying to connect to. If it's at work.. you'll need their passphrase unless it's an unsecure network (such as coffee shops). It's not common to find an unsecured wifi connection unless it's at a coffee shop, cafe, etc.

The good news is once you connect successfully to a specifically location, then it will automatically connect again the next time when you turn wifi on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
np, see my last post.. that's probalby the issue you're having.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Ah, yes I am connected to wi-fi but for some reason I'm not getting any text messages when it's on, that's very weird :/ do I have to have wi-fi calling ON for that to happen? I assumed wi-fi calling was just for calling.... that's why I froze it, I can always defrost it just in case that's what's bothering it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
idk.. lemme try. nope, worked fine. I'd turn on wifi calling anyways if you're around wifi.. it saves on the battery.. which is the purpose of the discussion here. :)

p.s. it works great.. no problems at all.

[Galaxy S II General] FishTaco:
Per CNET blog:

excerpt -

"...and now a press conference on May 5, co-hosted by AT&T and Samsung.

The two companies just sent out invites to the event, which will take place in New York starting at 1 p.m, PT, but revealed few details about what they will discuss. The invite does indicate that there will be product demos, so it's pretty safe to assume that we'll see a new phone or perhaps a tablet?

There are a couple of possibilities. It could be the Samsung Galaxy S II, which was announced at Mobile World Congress 2011, but our Android Atlas blogger Scott Webster believes it will be AT&T's version of the Nexus S..."

I tried to go back to unroot and stock HTC rom, Flashed wrong ROM, downloaded BOTH, now, phone vibrates one time (like its supposed to), but the screen does not work. Charge light does not work as far as I can tell so far.

Is there any way to get this back working or is it pretty much gone?

Can you get into recovery through Hboot? Power it on while holding down the volume down button and see if Hboot loads.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xavier2404:
Nope, I downloaded two recovery images. One for SLCD sreen and one for the other screen. I looked, and apparently flashed the wrong one. I get just a black screen.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostincredible:
So, you can't get to recovery, not even Hboot? If Hboot is black, I don't know if there is much you can do...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xavier2404:
If I cant get HBoot to open..or anything for that matter, will verizon be able too? I took it to the store, told the guy very simply "the screen wont show up and nothing happens besides the single vibrate (as usual) on start-up). They hooked it to something...had the phone for about 20 minutes. Then came back and told me they ordered another one...

Edit: Once the recovery image flashed, Hboot came back up initially. S-ON was displayed. S-ON was the one thing I am glad happened.! lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardofyendor:
LOL, I hear you, I had a similar issue with my PSP a few years back. was getting random memory errors, and crash to reboot. I had enough sense to flash it back to stock fw, before bringing it back in. it crashed around 78% thru the stock fw flash. So that was kinda a godsend, since the only data they will be able to get off of it if they try, is stock. ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhetstone02:
Well your issue was the image you flashed. You went to unroot and flash a stock 2.1 ROM. Although this sounds correct, there is a problem. The stock 2.1 ROM was made for the release DInc's, and those, my friend, come AMOLED. So by flashing that stock 2.1 ROM, it does not contain the correct hardware drivers to support the newer batch of DInc, the SLCD.

What you could have done was:

Download the correct ROM that supports the SLCD from here (which can be found on http://dougpiston.com

Place that file in the root of your sdcard.

Now since your phone's display doesnt work, like you said it vibrates once, like normal, your phone still functions properly.

Boot your phone into HBOOT and allow it a few minutes, like normal to find this PB31IMG.zip file. It then will prompt you to press UP to confirm the update or press DOWN to not update. (you will not see this, but if you have flashed a radio then you know this process)

when you press up, it will then start updating to the stock ROM. however, you wont see any of this. just a black screen.

allow that to run, usually for 10 minutes. to be safe wait 15-18 minutes and then press UP. When the update is complete you are asked to reboot. UP for yes DOWN for no. again you will not see this. Then when it reboots....you will be happy and see the HTC Incredible white screen

It got me too, same thing you did. Just dug around and figured it out.

[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
A close friend of mine got an Evo to put on Metro recently, and after he got the MetroFlash done to it, I went ahead and got the web, gps and MMS features working on it by flashing the MetroDroid rom over it. Once I got it done and confirmed working, another friend of mine and his sister who also have Evo's on Metro wanted me to do this to their phones, as well. I did so, but during the process, I realized that her phone was connected to and running on Sprint's 4G network. One of my cousins also has an Evo on Metro and I just confirmed with him that his 4G takes him to the Sprint one-day pass for $9.99 page just like the other Metro Evos do. I've dealt with 5 different Evo's that are on Metro, and this is the only one that has 4G working on it.

I did a ##3282# to compare the Wimax settings of her phone to the others, but there were no differences that stood out to me.

Does anyone know if there are any version of QPST or CDMA workshop out there that have the capability of reading/writing the WiMax parameters of these phones? I am sure there are setting that can be adjusted using a dedicated program that aren't available using EPST (##3282#), but I would need some help getting this done.

Does anyone have any ideas? Or is there already a fix out there for Evo users on Metro to be able to use 4G that I did not find when I searched? If not, I'd love to get this out to the community. I'm sure this would also work for people who have their Evos on Cricket, too.
[EVO 4G General] xboxhacker:
The wimax for Sprint is provided by a separate company, i think its called "clear wire". Anyway they provide wimax to lots of places. You get a contract with them and use the EVO to pick up the signal. You don't need Sprint.....
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Thanks for your insight, but I am aware of the fact that Sprint's 4G signal comes from Clear and that you can get a contract with Clear if you were inclined to do so. However, that is not the case here. This phone is fully flashed to Metro and still says "Connected to Sprint" when you turn on 4G and works at 4G speeds. She does not have a contract with Clear, yet it works. Somehow, the way her phone is set up, it runs on Metro's network with 4G off and Sprint's 4G network when the antenna is on.
[EVO 4G General] drfosters:
No, it is always connected to Metro, the only thing that runs on sprint is the 4G, the $10 pass is also technically from sprint, this is because the wimax mac address is assigned to sprint. This will happen on any Evo, as long as you don't corrupt the RSA Keys. No you don't need QPST/QXDM to rewrite the MAC Address, it can be done thru adb, but with the evo it has an additional level of security of the RSA Keys, so it wouldn't help.
