[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Se7enth:
Okay, two things. One? Battery life is to be expected. It's a smartphone. If you have it at 100% at 5 AM when you first wake up, and don't charge it at all but use it regularly (browser, text messages, listening to music, or whatever), it will probably be at 30% at least by 9 PM. Not a problem for me personally, I just charge it whenever it gets low. I'm used to it. It's a micro-USB port, so I can charge it just about anywhere so long as I have the cable and something with a USB port (which even many car chargers have now).

As for the performance? How often do you even restart the phone? If you NEVER restart it, it's going to start being sluggish because just like a computer that never gets defragmented, all the RAM you're using for each application is going to only free up so much of it when that program closes, and eventually you end up on a very low amount of RAM. Restart the phone when it gets below 80 MB with nothing open, and kill everything off the start. You should be at around 170 MB off launch, and it'll slowly deplete the more programs you use.

Aside from that, ATK + 2.2 is a bad mix. Everywhere I've read, anyone who had Froyo installed relied only on the default task manager. Having ATK or any others in addition seemed to cause more problems than it helped. Don't rely on it if you have Froyo, just use the default.

Finally, get a better ROM. Like the others above have said, stock is pretty slow. Only having the phone for a month myself, I admit the phone wasn't as amazing of performance as I had seen everywhere online, even switching from one home-screen to another was sluggish. I just got done installing Serendipity earlier this afternoon after convincing myself to take the jump to a custom ROM, and I have to say, it's the best decision I've ever made.

Edit: Just read your last post. Can't say I have the answer myself unfortunately as I'm pretty new here, but hopefully you get it figured out. Trust me, after you get Serendipity installed finally, you'll be a lot more impressed with the phone than you were when you first got it. I'm in love with my phone now. Just trying to figure out how to change the lock screen to something a bit more fancy than just a "drag the lock key this way", or at least customize the appearance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creepyncrawly:
You might need to try another approach. There is lots of guidance here. This post, which is a sticky in this forum, outlines several methods. I might suggest you flash a kernel such as speedmod which contains cwm recovery first, uning either Oden or SGS Kernel Flasher, then boot to recovery and install the rom from there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbooty:
Go to the stickies and download AIO toolbox and follow the easy instructions. Works everytime.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
So I read a few posts on bad battery life.... but I really had no complaints, I even took a screen shot or 2 of me making it over 24 hours, they way I use my phone. Very typical for me and my usage....

But then kies kept bugging about a firmware update, so I did it.... and not, I am barely getting over 10 hours out of my phone... having slept most of that!?

This is the second charge now, it seems the life is cut in half... with no increase in usage or any new apps added. Is this possible from a firmware upgrade and can I go back to the old firmware?

thanks in advance.... I did do a quick search, hopefully it is not a repost
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob_me:
Most people with this issue are being told to do a factory reset and see what happens. Im pretty sure it solves the problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armanisafarai:
anyone with firmware XWKE2 done factory reset? And did it help the battery?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
weird, but like I always tell women.... I will try anything once :p

since I am at 100% right now, I will do it and report back. thanks

I assume you just go into privacy and do the factory reset that way?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
A multitude of battery posts all say after a flash your battery drains then settles down with use .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonk83:
A factory reset made no difference for me unfortunately.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Kakarot:
12 hours in and I am still at 41%... so it made some at least!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
now i just need to find a valid coupon....

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3lg2x-bk.htm

should mention only black is available so far...

it was either this or otterbox... with no real sign from otterbox, seidio wins
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamdeemo:
Just got off the phone with them... They don't have any coupon codes as of right now. However, she did say if I order 10 or more she would give a discount. Problem is, I only have 1 phone... lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
XKEHPW

Use the above for 10% off, enjoy ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] miaan:
Thanks for the coupon

Got the case+ holster
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fzsrv:
Ordered last night. And shipped today! Will update when it arrives!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctt0002:
Looks like an awesome case. I'll probably order one when i get my next pay check.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
Yes, please post many pictures!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gimiento:
Excellent, thanks for the coupon. My nexus one has long been protected with a seidio, its a fantastic case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] F0rgiven:
The case plus holster look promising. May order soon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
That case looks so beautiful
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fzsrv:
So my case arrived today!!! I gotta say this is a nice case. S\"Surface" is a good name because it really does not add any bulk to the phone. I am amazed at how slim the case feels on this phone. I ordered the belt holster with it and I've had holsters in the past and really did not use them because they always felt big and bulky. Not the case with the Seidio Surface Combo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] egon27:
^^^will be placing an order later on today...1 question does it have the felt lining like the seidio innocase/surface for the nexus one?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] miaan:
No felt lining
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
The belt clip has felt lining. I'm not sure about the case itself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dakidhurricane:
Just placed my order for the blue case with the belt clip
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fzsrv:
The case and the belt clip both have felt lining.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
Now that's what up. Gonna order mine today when I get home:cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NotByChoice:
How easy or difficult is it to remove?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fzsrv:
Not difficult to remove if you read the directions first!

I tried and had difficulty at first, then I consulted the instructions. Piece of cake!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] egon27:
just placed my order for the black one. hopefully it will get here by this weekend.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
Got mine yesterday, awesome build quality. The interior is indeed felt lined.

Seidio just notified me right after i ordered that the colored versions were out. Damn them, ordered another one in the color I wanted. Guess I have a backup now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
was just about to order, but i noticed that the https connection is not secure... chrome showed it was insecure, but ff did not make it seem like it was insecure, although when you click on the S near the URL, it says the same info, that parts are not encrypted.... maybe i'll buy it amazon instead...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
The shopping cart isn't secure, but as soon as you login/checkout it's encrypted.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
mmm are you sure?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chompipe:
Oh wow, glad u noticed it too... i thought chrome was being funny. I might just have to order mine from Amazon...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
From a quick source code check, the form itself is passing the traffic securely. You'll get that prompt when a secure page links to non-secure objects.

I quit web development almost a decade ago, but the basics should still be true ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
I have one bad thing to say about this case. At the top and bottom of the front of the phone there is enough of a gap for dust to gather. I have confirmed this happens more than once today, and the case has only been on since 1pm CST. I removed the case twice to check for scratches, and there are none. The dust collection does have me slightly worried, though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chompipe:
Damn, i was just about to order mine... I hate gaps. Does the case feel like its loosely fit to the phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
I don't see a gap on mine. It's actually pretty snug :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skyhigh2004:
+1 would also like to know this.

Sent from my G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
I've had to remove the battery three times, so the case has been removed and reapplied just as many times. It definitely wiggles a teeny tiny little bit now, whereas the first time I put it on it didn't wiggle at all. Yes, the wiggle bothers me now that I noticed it. To be fair, during normal use you don't notice the wiggle, you have to try to get it to do it.

This has happened to me with every single innocase I have owned for any phone I've had. This particular gap is at the top and bottom and is wide enough for me to fit my fingernail in. I haven't tried the electrical tape trick yet, though, because the sides fit snug like they should.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dakidhurricane:
Got mines today

Just got it in the mail and slipped it on. Fits perfectly and you can tell this is a high quality case. It does add some bulk to the phone in my opinion but not really enough to make me look for another case. The holster is really sturdy, and I have a history of breaking plastic holsters so I can tell when its built well. As far as the dust collecting at the bottom and the top, I can clearly see how that could happen. Its not that the case doesnt fit tight, but near the bottom and the top of the screen it just sits over top of it. This is probably to prevent the case from scratching it. There is no give to the area but it is a place that you will probably have to clean out every now and again.

Here are some pics, not the best quality but it might help to answer some questions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
They always made good cases. I may consider one of these. That blue looks bad ass.

One conern I have, wouldn't it add to the heat issue?

Nonsense!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
Is it just me or does this Innocase seem thicker than Innocase's for other phones?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
About the same. I kind of like the feel of the phone now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
well I did a packet capture using wireshark, and indeed the information is encrypted, so it should be safe to buy from the manufacturer's website...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rotohammer:
I have a rubber slip on case I bought at the T-Mobile store and I notice it causes the phone to heat up a bit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
Thanks for the link shniggies. Just got my case and beltclip combo yesterday and am very satisfied with my purchase. Thanks to you to GideonX. Your coupon code saved me 10%.:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
I have the body glove...and just love it. I love the surface of it.. it gives a great grip.. no slippage. I had 1 time when the phone should have slipped out of my hand as I was getting out of the car, but it stuck between 2 fingers nicely.. Talk about a *whew* moment...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
finally had a chance to order this.... thanks for the 10% off! no tax and free shipping :)

now i gotta find a hdmi cable and a a screen protector... and maybe a new usb cable... the oem one is too short for my liking...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
HDMI cable = monoprice.com

Screen protector = Bodyguardz or Seidio
[T-Mobile LG G2x] duglas:
I got this case a few days ago. Love it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] techboydino:
Can anyone tell me if this case will work with a Screen Protector that covers the whole face? Usually this type of case does not slide on well when a full SP is installed. Thx.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
I have a full screen protector on, slides on just fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
I heard the monoprice cables caused some problems? Like actually damaged their phones.... i'm looking to get a 10 or 15footer and I was gonna buy from monoprice until i started reading some bad reviews... what has your exp been?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
I've been contemplating getting one of these for a little while... I had one on my BB9780 and loved it.

However, I was curious if it pulls up the full screen protector on the edges? I'm on my 2nd case right now with this phone and it still lifts the edges of my full screen protector up. I have to press down to reapply and it's rather annoying.

So my question is: does this case affect the protector on the sides?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
Haven't had any issues....but HDMI was never meant for a ton of wear and tear. I can see how the connector could get wore out.

Definitely not as robustly built as usb.

FWIW I've had monoprice HDMI going from my tv to ps3 for over a year with zero problems.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
thanks for the info. I have a bunch of monoprice hdmi cables too, but those are static, meaning they get plugged in and never moved (unless IM moving), so i do wonder about the wear and tear... oh well, only 1 way to find out!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctt0002:
Ebay has these cases cheaper. I wonder if they're the real deal?

http://cgi.ebay.com/T-MOBILE-G2x-LG-OPTIMUS-2x-SEIDIO-OEM-CASE-BELTCLIP-/350467543454?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item51997e519e#ht_3926wt_1139
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DrowsyMalice:
They look like the real deal, I was literally just about to order one, so I guess well see lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k0shi:
Looks like just the belt clip
[T-Mobile LG G2x] techboydino:
Seidio Surface and Realook make a nice combo. The case slides on nicely without hitting the edges of the SP since it does not cover the curved areas. The space between the side of the case and sides of the SP are there but small enough not to really interfere with your finger gliding across the screen. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctt0002:
No its a combo. Mentioned in the description.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
finally got my case and i'm loving it!

my only complaint would be that the case is too close to the volume buttons. Its not a huge problem, but that would be my one and only gripe..

9/10
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shniggies:
well of course AFTER i buy it, it goes on sale at amazon...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] donatello88:
I got mine on the mail today. I bought it from eBay.

The only complain that I have is that the case is extremely slippery, it's almost impossible to hold it just with one hand without being worried about dropping the phone. Other than that, the case has fantastic build quality. I think it's well worth the money.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
Got mine a few days ago and I'm loving it. It looks great and part of it on the back is raised higher than the camera hump to protect it, which was a complaint I had when I didn't have the case. It's also easy to remove in case I need to open the battery door. It is a little slippery, but I have no problems holding it in one hand.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gimiento:
I don't find mine slippery. It's a fantastic case, except it does bulk the phone up a bit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donatello88:
I just removed the case after using it for 2 days and the bezel and the corners are showing some scratches. BEWARE.
[myTouch 4G General] mytouch990:
T-Mobile is lie about their internet unlimited. After use 5GB the the internet are slow down and reset by them you can't use it no more any idea? What about their commercial that truly unlimited internet. But what a lie?
[myTouch 4G General] bobbymokie:
yeah, only unlm in terms of no overage. Word is a ten gig plan is coming soon tho
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
Technically it's not a lie. They do not limit the maximum amount of data you can use via the HSPA towers. However after 5Gb of data they throttle you back, as the person above me mentioned.

But it's not a lie, not a false advertising move, but it is very shady IMHO.
[myTouch 4G General] mytouch990:
Well sprint have a truly unlimited internet. I have them before. I use over 20gb a month and never slow down or cut off. The only thing I don't like is not GSM. Only CDMA networking.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
One of the few downfalls of T-Mo. I just use my Wifi at the house so i don't touch 5Gb when i use it [wifi] but it's nothing for me to rack up 8-12GB off of it.
[myTouch 4G General] Gopher love:
I have a no contract T-Mobile plan and buy web day passes... I use over 5 gigs a day sometimes.. no differences in speed other than coverage
[myTouch 4G General] jamtown85:
just curious, but what are you guys viewing/downloading that gets you to 5 gigs a day? That sounds crazy to me. Wouldn't WIFI be better for that anyway? Or a computer?
[myTouch 4G General] i n f a m o u s:
Obviously downloading and streaming "videos" or (pr0n).
[myTouch 4G General] UsrBkp:
There is nothing you can do as they throttle you because technically they can and will sharp you traffic for heavy usage. As we discussed this long ago since 2004 we do have the technology in place to determine what you use your service based on the SPI/DPI capabilities on the server. At this point they just have QoS based policy in place which just changes your provision rate. Be thankful they are not disabling any service based on the user agent or injecting data stream on the transport layer.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
I love how everyone instantly assumes pornographic material. :rolleyes:

Before i got my Wi-Fi installed at my house i used my phone frequently to tether. And with having 1 [Linux] Netbook, 2 iPod touches, and a tablet i can chew through some data.
[myTouch 4G General] aznprodgy:
I download games, music, files from XDA, movies all while at work when its during the downtime. no computers around there, but I do use wifi when I get home. all those files add up quickly:D
[myTouch 4G General] chaos69:
I know alot of people that tether and do their DL'ing (Whatever it may be).

I recently signed up for an unlimited everything $79.99 plan, I noticed the "small print" now says 2GB of full 4G before throttling might begin.

I deleted the contents of the "throttle" folder and write protected it. Has anyone heard of this yet ?
[myTouch 4G General] UsrBkp:
Say what? What do you mean you deleted the contents of throttle folder and write protected it?
[myTouch 4G General] chaos69:
i believe it was in the data/system folder (use root explorer, or the like).
[myTouch 4G General] UsrBkp:
You do understand that the soft-cap that is placed under account is throttling the provision rate of users from the server itself. As the data is not allocated in your device which would be subjected to alteration. Unless you mean a dir was created after you were placed on 128kbps.
[myTouch 4G General] chaos69:
A friend recommended it to me, is it a waste of time ?

Why is there a "throttle" folder ?
[myTouch 4G General] UsrBkp:
I see, I just checked the location and found the folder also. Now if it makes you feel any better I don't use more than 200mb/month and I also have it. As the throttle happens on TMo's server so yeah its a complete waste of time. But however you can change the APN setting :P thats all ill tell you as I won't actually give you the meth which can cause it to be shutdown and for few folks its work around. I tested it back in 5-6months ago as I downloaded like 2.1-2.2gb porno on and applied it and it worked.
[myTouch 4G General] Sfkn2:
A patch was applied and fixed that method on January 21st of this year.
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
That patch does not work. I go over my gb cap every month. This billing cycle twice in one month. I get throttled every single time and that was with patch on. Some times right after 5gb and some times they let me slide a few 1-3gb more. But I always get throttled no matter what.
[myTouch 4G General] Sfkn2:
I think you misunderstood me...

T-Mobile released a patch to fix the 'work-around'.
[myTouch 4G General] goddimus:
Well I just hit the soft data cap for the first time and while I knew it would be throttled I didn't realize how much. I have been throttled down to 60 kbps down and 160 up.. I can upload faster than I can download now. I think thats a bit severe.

The one thing it does make me think about though is whether having Netflix is a good thing or not. Netflix definitely sped up my bandwidth consumption and I didn't even use it much. We are talking 45 minutes a day.
[myTouch 4G General] nicolasl46:
I don't know what the big deal is, I rather T-mobile lowering my speed until the billing cycle closes, than being paying overage charges like I would if I had AT&T. I used a bit over 9GB last billing cycle, and after they slowed down my connection, I was still able to stream pandora in high quality, youtube, and go about my business with my phone as usual.
[myTouch 4G General] dubie76:
Data capping and throttling is actually still being discussed? Talk about beating a dead horse.

It is what it is and people need to just accept it.
[myTouch 4G General] nicolasl46:
Thats what im saying, there are worst data caps out there, and companies promoting unlimited and then charging you when you go over, i really happy with how tmobile is handling the situation
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
I see. Well no patch can stop my method lol.
[myTouch 4G General] Georgiaban:
I havent been hit by the cap yet, but i feel like slowing you down worse than Edge is wrong, I think they should at least give you low 3G speeds. It is still better than ATT, which is where i came from. I'd much rather have 1G speeds after cap than pay 12.50 per gb.
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
3g is still considered hspa speeds same as 4g. That's the reason they cap us to edge.
[myTouch 4G General] mytouch990:
I'm try to switch to sprint soon when the HTC Evo 3D come out on June 8 I think. Because they have truly unlimited data plan. One of my friend that use SPRINT. He use around 40gb per month and the internet never slow. The speed is 9 to 10 MB per second. I think time to switch to sprint after 10 year royalty customer with T-Mobile
[myTouch 4G General] Jon C:
PM your secrets? ;)
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
lol I cant believe you said 40GB, that's crazy...What in the world is he tethering?
[myTouch 4G General] danyune:
if i tethered my phone to my entire household, it'd exceed that by far

comcast already suspended me for using 990gigs/month, nothing illegal either

We just have our business security system streamed to our home PC, as well as "Enjoy & TV" korean TV downloading 16 channels full time everyday

Luckily FIOS doesn't seem to have a cap yet
[myTouch 4G General] tjlawson09:
Just guessin ps3 xbox youtube netflix torrents...lots of possibilities.
[myTouch 4G General] DrewCSchultz:
I watch alot of Netflix while at work, and hit my 5gb cap pretty quickly. As of today, T-Mo added a new 10gb data plan for $10 more.
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
Sweet! Ama have to get on that.
[myTouch 4G General] Lockeskidney:
man thats a lot of streaming...i use my phone everyday (uploading thousands of pictures/ dropbox) and i only crack 3GB monthly
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
Every one has their different uses. If you just use your device to use data chances are you won't come near the 5gb cap.

Me for example...I use my device 24/7. I'm on countless forums and always downloading things. I also tether my girls laptop and my ps3. I use it to play cod. I play for hours. Just the ps3 alone chews up alot of data and lets not bring up watching netflix.
[myTouch 4G General] GazaIan:
990?! Wtf were you doing ?!
[myTouch 4G General] dementor123:
No wonder FIOS speeds have dropped! I used to get 54 mbps down and 25 mbps up at one point. Man, my 40 floor residential building cant even reach that figure.
