[T-Mobile LG G2x] iceshark:
No wonder your a newbie and no listed thanks. What an asswade comment.

NO!!!!!!!!! What I am saying is that is has to be an internal issue with either synch times or possibly an APP be it internal or external that is causing MANY of us to have terrible battery times vs. others with good. Not saying anthing negative about those who are functioning ok.

I have been rooting and modding for 2 years. This is the worst battery usage yet. My Galaxy S 4g. Could last with same synch times and apps for 18 hours.

Now for those others who have there head inserted other then in there behind.

Okay ran some tests today,

1. Charged phone to 100percent.

2. Left everything the way it has been and no adjustments.

Battery at 84 Percent sitting tableside no text, app, wed or voice use after 2 hours. After 4 hours at 64 percent. After 6 hours at 51 percent. After 8 hours at 39 percent. This is with no usage. This is terrible.

Okay, Now have done following based on others test here and other forums.

1. Loaded Setcpu and made profile for sleep using stock 216 usage.

2. reluctently loaded Taskmanager Pro and killed all but needed apps.

3. Loaded Battery calibration app and after charge calibrated phone.

Left my email synch at every 10 minute as its needed for work.

We will see if this brings better test times now and report back.

What may be my culprit from studying this and other forums is I am in Seattle. We are Tmobiles home office corp and full test market for 4g and every change before rest of USA. I get full 4g at all times. In fact my speed tests are off the board. ave of 12 down 1.3 up speeds.

From what I am finding out, those of us in best 4g coverage (and Seattle is listed best) are finding much more drain on battery in standby and in use.

So my theory is that with this phone and its dual proccesor and my 4g, this is why myself and others in like markets are seeing much faster drain then others. Some dispute this possibility. however other experts say its fact.

Will report back findings tomorrow.

Thanks.

May be some of my issue vs. others.

I do have sync on for FB and Google mail 2 accounts. and I use Fancy Widgets for my Weather and news feeds. However I also used these on my HD2 a known battery hog running cm7 and it had even better life then the phone. I run them on my other Galaxy s 4g as well and it has awesome battery life.

But I will freeze these in my next test after running this test.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
those are shocking results man... I dont know what to tell you... If I literally dont touch my phone for 6 hours i will drain no more than 10% of my battery, closer to around 6 or 7% based on my battery monitor widget...

I pulled the phone off at 6 this morning and didnt touch it until 12 and I was at 92%... Chelsea got ****ing spanked this morning and I got a barrage of **** talk text messages that I did not want to deal with haha so my phone wen untouched for a good 6 hours...

I will say though, when I first got the phone my battery life was pretty wonky... first drain was great, second one was mediocre, the third and fourth ones were horrible, drained in 6 hours flat of light-moderate use... I did a factory reset at this point to try and change things up... Calibrated once after that and I have run it up and down to get a good read and I have not looked back since, like i said i can get 20-30 hours of moderate to light use no problem at all!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chk230:
Great battery on my g2x

I had battery problems with my G2x, only lasted about 7-8 hours on moderate use and cell stabd by was like 50% of battery use.

After i installed the leaked official Gingerbread ROM is like a new phone, ofter 16 hours of use i still had 43% last night. In idle mode it uses about 1% in 2 hours.

I think the battery probles come from Froyo not getting along with the dual core processor.

This phone is awesome!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Iceshark, you're not crazy. This is the same exact battery drain I get not even touching the damn phone! This is my second phone in less than 2 weeks, the first had the same results, both brand new.

Today I unplugged my phone at 12:45 pm, gave my mom a call for mothers day (less than 2 min talk time) Got to work and browsed web for maybe 5 minutes then clocked in at 2 pm. Took a 15 min break at 4pm battery was down to 80% (did some web browsing for 5 min). Took my 30 min lunch at 6pm (battery was down to about 60% (did some browsing for about 15 min). Took my last break at 8pm, and battery was down to 30%. I clocked out at 10:30 and I only had 20% battery left. The only timeI touched the phone was on my breaks, the rest of the time my phone was in my pocket. I had juicedefender running on balanced.

It's now 12:01am and I only have 14% battery left, that's not even 12 hours yet, and I only used the phone and it's features for less than an hour, all the other drain was sitting in my pocket. This is unacceptable. And I'm starting to think all the other people who claim to have great battery life are exaggerating or lying through their teeth.

Although I did a test yesterday using auto airplane mode, which automatically enables airplane mode when the screen shuts off, disabling any data, and then it turns data back on when you unlock the screen this helped very much with battery draining and at the end of an 8 hour work shift I still had 70% battery, but without data you can't receive calls, which sucks.

This battery drainage or bleed while the handset is not even being used needs to be fixed. And isn't it false advertising since the G2x specs indicate standby time is 400 hours?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] paxton:
Sorry my 4+ years on the site are not good enough for you.

Reread your first two posts man, they read like many of the other 'I dropped my phone in the toilet and now it doesn't work. Tmobile sucks!' posts that have plagued XDA over the last year or so, and keep many of us from bothering to engage. My apologies for lumping you into that category prematurely.

That said, I think you're on to something with the market coverage idea. I split my time between two markets on the east coast. One with grade A tmo 4g coverage and another with a mix. During the work week when I'm mainly in the true 4G market, my battery life is roughly half what it is on the weekends in that secondary market. Yet I'm actually using the handset more on the weekends. I'll be interested to see what happens as more 4G handsets hit tmo, and I'm even more curious to see what the GB kernel brings us once that shows up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
I agree. All the providers and manufacturers do it too.

And to the prople who think the battery life is bad, I say again....the Samsung Indulge gets the award for worst battery life. 3 hours of heavy use. A full charge will die while sitting on my nightstand overnight. I have been caught with a dead battery dozens of times. I have 4 spares.

Of course I refuse to turn stuff off or down, which helps explain the 3 hours a bit. But the Indulge gets the trophy IMO.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alexanjl:
factory reset! It fixed my battery issues!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iceshark:
Sorry man! I read it as you were trying to be cocky to me. I see that was not your intent. My apoligies. I too have suffered the drop in toilet at a corp meeting in Dallas last year with my HD2 and had to pick up a prepaid tmobile for rest of trip and use sim. really sucked. Then that wonderul $115.00 azripoff replacement under insurance.

You make another good point I forgot to point out. I have a jawbone I have not used yet. However I do use my stereo bluetooth headphones when I am mowing ect. They dont really do much in battery use. But I will test my jawbone after these test and let you know how that reacts.

I got a response on the other forum from a developer saying that he thinks for sure the 4g uses up to 25% more drain in standby and use. Interesting.

Steps I have taken today,

1 Battery at 100%, Calibrated it.

2. Deleted News and weather widget of home screen

3. Changed screen off to lowest time.

Will report back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Weird. I can see 4G eating up battery for something like WiMax... but this is just glorified 3G right?

I would flash roms. People are varying different results with other roms. I got good stock Froyo 2.2 battery, better then my Nexus One. Gingerbread yields better gains but for me, causes random resets.

CM7 seems the best for me ATM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ikarma:
I have found the standby times to be phenomenal but as soon as you start using the phone the battery level drops like a rock. I am currently on 15hr 39min with 40% battery left. Over half of that was above 90% while I was sleeping.

It seems like once you wake the phone it doesn't go back to a deep sleep state. I think that with some tuning that we can get some awesome battery life with this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
A bug with its sleep states may be the reason why some users are experiencing power-offs aka "Black Screen of Death".

Perhaps it doesn't go into a deep sleep like it should, and when it does, it has problems waking up from it. Could explain the wonky power issues too.

Hopefully the Gingerbread release will come with a new kernel that fixes these issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Hey, check out the WatchDog app. It is much better than task killers.. because you can actually see the apps that are using battery (via CPU usage). You may have an app or 2 running wild on ya? This will show you if something is hammering on your battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iceshark:
Okay so far test show some promise and some key to what is issue.

after steps on last post.

I had 99% on standby even after 2 hours.

Then light use still above 90 after 3 hours.

However when I did some light use at 4g web use and downloaded a couple small apps from market. In a half hours was down to 78%. Howeever that is best use since I got phone.

So now at 5 hours off charger with light use. I am at 72% Much improved

This would lean towards 4g being the culprit for fast drain..

As for task killer and Watchdog.

I downloaded Watchdog per last post. However I am confused as to how this is better then task killer. I do like how it shows use by item.

However the KILL button is useless. I have killed Wifcall and other apps and within a few seconds they show back up. This may kill the users you dont want. But it does not stop them from restarting on there own immediatly..

I find with Taskkiller they stay killed unless you restart the apps.

I use Titanium to freeze. That works perfect but I can not find some of them in Titanium. I dont see Wifi calling in Titanium and others.

So if I am doing something wrong with Watchdog please let me know.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheBigSaxon:
I run Watchdog and it sounds like its not running right for you. I'm assuming that you are rooted and have frozen all of the T-Mobile BS.

Once I did a reset and rooted right after I started getting really good battery life... usually around 2% an hour with wifi on and data on 2g. I found Bloat Freezer to be better than Titanium for app freezing IMHO.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iceshark:
Yes Rooted, I use some Tmo stuff so I have only froze in Titanium what I dont use like Car and Home.

In Watchdog WifiCall shows 2.1% use. I kill and it comes right back.

Also a few others do the same. In Titanium I froze Tmo App pack and its gone.

I am getting much better use. But I am just wondering about watchdog.

Do you check the two non checked boxes on top- Real time CPU or FREEZE?

Looking at watchdog now. Another one is WIFITEATHER> I kill and it comes back and I am not even using it. I can Freeze in Titanium. Just another example. shoot there goes WIFI calling. 4.1% just came right back again. Yikes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
yea those Tmo apps are killers. Aside from the WiFi calling app, I just delete them with Root Explorer, or flash a rom that doesn't have them.

Hello all,

For some reason, my Galaxy s with froyo does not start anymore since this morning. It stays on the start up window, "GALAXY S, GT-9000 SAMSUNG" all the time. Perhaps it is installing an update. i do not know as i have not downloaded anything.

What are the steps for fixing this if it stays all the time.

Should i do a manufactyre reboot? if so, how to do this?

Thanks for your help

:)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
i take it you are on a stock samsung rom ??

if so boot into recovery menu, Holding volume up button + home button + power button all at the same time

this should bring up a menu with the option to do a factory reset. navigate it using volume up and down. and home button to select

you will lose all your data !! but this might fix the problem.

if not report back and we will consider some other options

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peabody42:
Welp, tried to root the Nexus S 4g.

On rebooting, it gets stuck at the Nexus S bootscreen, pauses, keeps going, etc.

Got CWM 3.0.0.5, and can fastboot, get into CWMRecovery.

From there, I'm at a loss. Tried to restore Nandroid backup, but it says a whole bunch of stuff, basically saying E: failed to find "cache" partition, Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log, etc.

Tried to apply zip from CWM backup, it says "No files found."

Tried going into mounts/storage to mount USB storage, but nothing appears on desktop of either Mac or PC, so I can't get move files onto the SD card.

Now, when I just power up, it just says "Google," and there's a unlock icon at the bottom. Nothing else.

Anyone have any solutions?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
Yeah stop using that old version. Of ClockworkMod recovery :)

Seriously use 3.0.2.4. Its in the clockwork thread in the dev section.

Boot into fastboot by turning off phone, turn back on while holding volume rocker up. Leave it at the screen where you could select reboot, recovery etc. Download the above mentioned clockwork recovery image from the thread to your computer. Flash using fastboot command. No need to copy anything to SD card.

Having the exact same issue. Nothing appears in the nandroid folder now either after replacing the recovery image with 3.0.2.4 and I can't mount the USB storage or get anything onto the SD card.

Same issues here. I was able to flash CWM recovery 3.0.2.4, but when I go to "mounts and storage" and "mount USB storage", I the drive does not appear on both Mac and PC. I'd like to transfer the stock NS4G image onto the phone so I can install the zip from the sdcard...

How Do I Fix "REALLY" Bricked and DEAD Nexus S4g?

All posts on this thread presuppose a working Nexus S 4g. When I use the term bricked, I mean dead. About a month ago I followed directions on one of these threads on how to easily and with one click route my jellybean running phone. For some reason the process never completed, and all I was able to accomplish was unlocking the phone. When I ran the check to see if it was truly rooted, the response showed the phone was still unrooted. About 30 days later it was deader than a brick. Somewhere I read that Jellybean on Sprint might be the culprit. Anyway, I have a dead phone. Sprint wouldn't even check it because the screen was cracked. Fortunately, I bought a new one, new to me anyway, on eBay for $37. It is still running android 2.3.7(Gingerbread), and the phone is attempting to push the Ice Cream Sandwich update. I am fighting the update until I figure out what killed my phone.

Just wondering whether there is anything I can do with my old phone, even if I only use it like an old iTouch for music and surfing via Wi-Fi. Anyone?

I attempted the one click method described here, but my desktop cannot find any devices. So it truly is dead. Comments appreciated. I have used several different cables, unsuccessfully.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidaljs:
Hi,

What method did u use to root? What thread? Cuz it may need to newest version of the recovery.

anyways...

Try charging up a battery on newer phone and put in dead phone... but instead if turning on normally, boot into recovery.

If it worked then use a back up to flash it back to stock. Assuming u were able to back it up b4 root.

If not plug into computer. See if it turns on or can go into either recovery or boat loader mode and if so perhaps computer will recognize it.
