More proof it's the Android operating system that is the cause for battery drainage even when not activley using phone.

http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-20058834-251.html#addcomm

And as for the salesman that's giving you a hard time about returning it saying it's not a big deal recharging the battery twice, let him know that lithium batteries have a limited amount of recharge cycles and the more you recharge the batteries the faster you hit the battery limit and it's no longer good. I believe the average lithium battery is 500 recharge cycles.

what store is this and where? NExt time go in there get on his bad side start dissing lg enough to get him worked up then pull a fight-club on his ass!

get face to face with him and make it look like he pushed you into a display(make sure it breaks and makes lots of noise:D also best to do this on a sat afternoon with lots of people in there) then start screaming dont hurt me! Dont hurt me! ....voilA! now you can buy the tmo store from the lawsuit money and fire his ass!

Seriously people THEY DONT CARE. No big corporation gives a rats ass. WHat you should have done was video'd hiss ass saying all those slanderous things about htc and call them up and ask them if they are interested in lg sladering htc ...heh heh . I think its a culmination of all parties. android, 4g , bad drivers, etc.

Not enough R&D. and I loved my hd2 one of the best phones i Ever owned so f that guy.

I hate to say it but at this point I think the best we can do is gather as much evidence as possible. Document EVERYTHING your phone does. light bleed, reset etc. keep a daily log of your phones f-ups. IM sure a class action lawsuit will make lg change their mind. a 500$ phone that doesnt work the way its supposed to? Wait until the update comes out. who knows maybe itl fix everything(doubt it). after that people should seriously think about suing them. fix the phone or gives us 500$. Looks like apple has set the standard when somthing goes wrong:

"no its not"

You do realize that the Android OS has more going on in the background that the iPhone and WIN**** 7, right? If you remove all of your widgets (that are updating themselves), turn off Facebook/Twitter sync and everything else that is automatically doing stuff in the background except for the essentials like email and calendar. Your Android device will have as good of battery as the others which consist of pages of icons and tiles. I only have 2 home screens with some icons on my G2X and if I take it off the charger at 5AM it still has 99-100 percent battery when I wake it for the first time at 7AM. When I get off work at 3PM after using my phone most of the day (moderate to heavy use) it is always reading above 30% which will last me until I go to bed at 11PM when I continue to use my phone with light use. People just don't understand how much battery certain features that are constantly updating themselves use. Just remember. You can't have the most powerful smart phone OS and the best battery too.

Hi,

My cell phone's originally has baseband as V10b. However, after updating to V10d, the button for "Check for updates OTA" disappeared. Does other people have this? Thank you.
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
No. Not on my brothers phone using v10d.
[LG Optimus 2x] Maliacrete:
Did you get the update via LG PC Suite? If yes when was this?
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
No. Updated manually with smartflash.
[LG Optimus 2x] baste07:
there's not OTA update or O2X. you have to do it via pc.

[LG Optimus 2x] remczar69:
Hey,

I not to create a new thread, I wanted to ask you about the update.

I have the German version of O2X unlocked and have a software version V10b. I have read that many people who had the reboot/freeze issues after updating the software to the newer version had even more problems.

I haven't experienced any of those on my phone and I was wondering if performing the software update could hurt my phone? I mean if I may start getting these reboots and other issues? or maby if the phone is alright now, then it should also be ok after the update?

Cheers
[LG Optimus 2x] mike-o2:
I have the unbranded German LG2X as well and had no reboot issues before I have updated and have no issues after the update still.

Since it is an official update, you could have your device changed if any problems should occur after the update.
[LG Optimus 2x] randomu:
I did the update through LG PC Suite and that was in late April (I think it was around April 29th).

**This post is mostly for Noobs** Thought I would post as it is very useful to know.

Here is how to change the lcd density on the charge manually.

**YOU MUST BE ROOTED**

1. Using root explorer go to

System>build.Prop

2. Make sure read/write capabilities are set and long press on build.Prop

3. Choose edit in text editor and the file will open

4. Go halfway down until you see lcd density =240

5. Change the density to a lower number such as 200. This will allow for a much higher resolution.

6. Save and exit

7. Reboot

***warning! If you set the density too low your phone won't run the rom correctly. Not advised under 160
[Verizon Droid Charge] nubslash:
Beautiful. My screen feels huge now, I went with 190 and it seems to be good, nice and small for my good eyesight. I just needed to resize my keyboard height and I was good to go.
[Verizon Droid Charge] t2xcrzy308us:
How do you turn on read/write set capabilities? Every time I long press the build.prop i received the prompt that it's a "read only" file. Sorry for the noob question
[Verizon Droid Charge] >DARKMAN<:
You have to be using Root Explorer from the market, then at the top there are buttons that say mount r/w or mount r/o, just press mount r/w and then you can edit the text.
[Verizon Droid Charge] zanderman112:
You can use Es file explorer, it has root capabilities and is free.

Thanks for the tip.

One thing... In what file is the phone keyboard button size located? I used 190 for the density, and now the phone keys are not centered. Quite annoying.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
via the market, send the dev for that keyboard a message saying that you would like to have that keyboard accept any lcd density and they should do it. I have done this for every app of mine and they have changed it. 95% of the apps should already have this built in. Some devs only put 200-240
[Verizon Droid Charge] vc66:
It's for the stock samsung email app... Where does that reside?
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
What keyboard are you using? Samsung? Swype? Gingerbread? SwiftKey? Better keyboard?

If you are using the samsung keyboard it works perfectly at 200
[Verizon Droid Charge] r00t beer:
Thanks for the tip this is great for the large screen :cool:
[Verizon Droid Charge] Delicate Donut:
What about swype?
[Verizon Droid Charge] vc66:
Actually, I'm a ****ing idiot and I'm not talking about the email app, but the dialer keypad. But I'll try the 200 density anyway and see if it works. :)

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] teddykgb715:
Yeah, that dialer is annoying. Did you figure out how to fix it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] khanfuze:
Screenshots?
[Verizon Droid Charge] bash_array:
Here is what my dialer looks like after adjusting the LCD density. It doesn't affect the phone.apk's ability to make phone calls... its just a little smaller. Not sure if samsung will respond to mere mortals like us to adjust their code to accept multiple densities.... lol

[Verizon Droid Charge] RichardZu:
Yes I would like to fix my dialer as well. Annoying... its the only problem.
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
This is awesome! :D

The dialer was not an issue for me since I have been hooked on Dialer One since my DX days. The only alignment issue I see is with the glass lock screen, although the puzzle one is fine.

ES file explorer

ES File Explorer's root capabilities seem to be limited to those running either HiAPK or Cyanogen. Every time I enable root in the settings it seems to take but when browsing / it truncates the first few letters off each file/directory and the mounting for read/write doesn't work at all. Because it sees the directory's name as incorrect when you click to open that directory it doesn't work because its changing into the wrong name, so it's not just an error in how they are being listed. Anyone else had this problem on the charge with ES File Explorer?

[Verizon Droid Charge] Cruiserdude:
I changed my density to 200, now I'm bootlooping... What did I do?

EDIT: Reflashed the GC 1.75 zip from CWM and its back to the way it was. But I do have to ask what I did wrong? Does GummyCharged not like a density of 200?

EDIT 2: Nevermind, its working now when I change it, I must have changed something else in build.prop by mistake the first time. Thanks for the tip!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Haloman800:
What are the benefits to this? Sorry for noob post!

anyone find a fix for the dialer keypad sizing?
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
I have GB, with humble 2.1 . I resized the lcd density trough spare parts plus but nothing has changed? Any ideas why I am not noticing the difference? I double checked and the density is on 200.
[Verizon Droid Charge] NotATreoFan:
The easiest way to check the DPI is to launch the dialer. The number pad does not resize automatically, so it will be aligned to the left.
[Verizon Droid Charge] zanderman112:
Also, reboot your phone for the changes to take effect.

[Verizon Droid Charge] reissgrant:
+1 for this.

If you do use this, you have to enable root explorer in the main settings of this app to change rw rights.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jefffay:
+1. I'm in the same boat.
[Verizon Droid Charge] streetlightman:
just curious, when you change the density, does it change it for all apps? i'm specifically asking about Opera Mobile. I noticed it changed the way the stock browser looked (for the better) but I can't seem to notice a difference for Opera. Can anyone confirm?
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidxrooting:
Hi I have the resolution for you. From the market download es explorer. Open the application and go to settings check 2boxez under settings. One is root explorer access and second I don't remember. But make sure both checkmarks are checked. Then go to system and change the density to 200. It will prompt you to reboot and it is done.

Good luck everyone.

this whole "Trip" Vs The World is getting pretty lame...

for someone to "pack up" and move everything to another, really shows how "great" this place is.

Why cant people just let the Dev's dev, and the people who are not interested, use another ROM.

I have recently JUST gone to Trips 1.3.0 Miui Rom, but alas, **** has hit the fan on XDA, and his moved.

members, including mods, have really no one to blame, but themselves.

This impacts me, becuase I have to go to ANOTHER forum, to contact trip regarding issues with the rom... which woudlnt be required if everyone just let it go, and be mature.

Obviously there is alot that I dont see, but from what I have, it is disgraceful.

Today I finally got around to try and flash my X10 phone that AT&T refuses to update. I really went into this not really knowing what i was doing, so basically I was throwing this at wall here not knowing what'll happen. So I got a firmware .ftf file and a baseband file put it into my firmware folder and the flashtool said everything was alright. So now my X10 just goes through an endless loops of the boot logo for Sony Ericsson and then goes black screen and a blue LED (supposedly this is the Push-to-Talk LED) shows up. So now I'm wondering.. how exactly do I restore factory default on it without being able to go into the phone itself?

Just want to put this out there, I did use the search function but got no results, probably my internet giving me trouble

Thanks in advance for any help!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aR_ChRiS:
Use SEUS to restore to AT&T 1.6 first,

then go to the flashtool post to find a 2.1 global generic firmware to flash into your phone.

I think there are youtube tutorial vids showing you how to do so.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
What ROM are you running? Have you tried asking in that thread?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comingup:
Does the button actually depress or are we talking physically stuck? You could always try 'adb reboot recovery' and installing a different kernel.

You installed a I9000 ROM didn't you?

Hold up+down volume buttons and insert usb cable while phone is off. Should bring you to recovery mode where you can one-click ODIN back to stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
The power button is not replaceable on the i897. My advice is to open the phone up and slowly work the button with a pair of tweezers. I'd use a small can of white lithium grease and squeeze the smallest bit you can near the button to smooth the operation then re-assemble. Or if you under warranty, just ODIN back and send the phone in.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisd000111:
I was running continuum 5.5 GB, but thats not the problem cause i managed to flash back to stock and its still a problem. I had the back of the phone off and the button is clicking fine so either the button went bad or something stuck inside. I went to at&t today and they say no one on my plan has a upgrade available. So this blows, I'm gonna go to a customer service place tomorrow to see if they can do anything. Somehow i never had insurance on it so again that sucks.

Is there anything else i should do before i go to customer service I'm back to stock and i took all my pics and everything off of it. I also installed some apps and set up my widgets and stuff to look like it hasnt been modded.

my buttons were sticking to on my Samsung Captivate , it got to the point where the power button was no longer working and my cappy was out of warranty. I just decided to take my captivate apart and disassemble it (i used this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y8mRCcQ4jo ) and then i located the power button and used some " CRC QD Electronic Cleaner " and just sprayed it directly into the power button (when i say "spray" i mean i pushed the spray button for about 1 second). After spraying it i pressed the button like 20 times, then i sprayed some more and while spraying (spray for 1 second) i was pushing the button about another 20-30 times. I repeated the spray and push cycle about 10 times (which means i probably pressed the power button over 300 times ), I waited about 5 mins to make sure it was "dry" and then i put the battery back in and test it and It seemed to have cleaned it out and now my power button worked. Then i put everything back together.

Note: I tried to spray and press it with the cappy with the enclosure/case/body on but the button cover blocks the actual button and i was forced to actually disassemble the case, its not to hard just looks intimidating. whole process took me about 45 mins first time.

Note 2: CRC QD Electronic Cleaner can also be found at most local auto parts stores BE SURE TO GET THAT BRAND as it is non-conductive, i repeat GET THAT EXACT BRAND/MODEL Cleaner, cheaper brands might be conductive despite it saying it is safe or does not dry as fast and who knows what might happen, CRC is a known well brand and has a good rep)
