[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirSigma:
I wiped everything and I'm still having the issue.

I also caved and I'm going to unroot because the retards over at the Sprint repair center refuse to look at it otherwise. I got my hopes up after hearing on places like XDA or the CM forums about how Sprint didn't care about rooted phones, but I guess the Sprint guys in my area do. I'm currently downloading unrevoked forever son and PC36IMG right now.

I'm just hoping I can get a new Evo after this, because there's a chance I could lose root forever after doing this. But I'm so certain it's a hardware problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouthPhilly:
Why would you lose root "for ever"?

Just curious ....

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlawou:
I had the same exact issue with my Evo over the past 2 weeks. But I never use Goggles and run MIUI pretty much exclusively. I was never able to fix it and it just got worse. I unrooted and still have the same problems.

I notice it happens on 3g data, I can't remember when it happened on wifi.

I am selling mine back to Sprint tmrw and using my upgrade to get the Nexus S for$50. Then hoping the Evo 3D comes out within 30 days.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirSigma:
I took it back to Sprint today, and after being treated like a second class citizen for rooting over and over, they managed to somehow fix the random reboots, but have initiated the OTA update for me. Now I'm sitting here with it and it's asking if I should install it now or later.

I'm hesitant because I tried to unroot earlier, and since then, the technician at Sprint said that it wasn't really unrooted or something (I remembered using unrevoked forever last year when I rooted). I'm scared that maybe I'll lose my chance at being able to root again if I accept the update or not. I'm also scared if I won't be able to get full root from here.

EDIT: SON OF A *****. I can't believe this. I applied the OTA update like a good boy and everything, and then the phone starts boot looping randomly again. This is the last straw. I'm going to go back to Sprint tomorrow and be more in-your-face about this problem. I'm through letting them treat me like **** just because I rooted my phone once.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masbirdies:
I have a similar problem.....

My problem is random. My phone will go into constant reboot mode until I pull the battery out for 10 minutes. Just pulling the battery and putting it back does not help.

I also noticed that I am losing GPS signal occasionally. It is random too. The GPS will come on and work for about 5 minutes then just lock up. I have to reboot to get it working again and there is no rhyme or reason as to when it will stick (or wont) or how long it will last. It may work for 3 days and then not work a lick for 3 days.

The local Sprint store replaced the back red portion of my phone (the part with the camera lens and kickstand) stating it was an GPS antenna problem. I got 30 secs outside the store and tried the GPS....same problem. I went back into the store and showed them and they tried to convince me I needed AGPS on as well. AGPS always worked but is not as accurate as the satellite GPS. The repair shop refused to do more or order a replacement. I just got scammed out of $35.00 cause nothing is fixed.

I got so pissed, I called Sprint. They were terrific. They refunded the $35.00 the repair center charged me of the repair (the rip-off repair) and agreed to send a replacement phone. Awaiting arrival of the replacement but they are back ordered...so, maybe, I'll get a new phone instead of a refurb.

Long story short...I don't know what is causing your reboots. Mine could not be solved by software changes. My phone was rock solid until around a month ago. Then the GPS dropouts and reboots became more frequent until they became unlivable. I think you have a bad device and would seek replacement.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lugose:
I had the same problem with mine about a month ago. It happened once about a month before that and then a month ago started happening a lot. I finally narrowed it down to how "hot" it was (body temperature in this case). So basically any time that I was in the car it happened. I was able to unroot (you have to make sure you to s-off on) and put a stock rom on it, and take it in with it happening. They took it for an hour and said they had not seen any issues. I finally convinced them and the replaced it with a refurb. I'm okay as long as it works, but it makes me wonder what happened. When I first got it I used fresh for about a week and then went to CM and was on it the rest of the time. I used an SBC kernel starting around the same time and am thinking maybe that had something to do with it... Just as a precaution I'm staying away from SBC kernels.

If I were you I would just go to the store and get a replacement if you can otherwise if it's like mine you won't be able to count on it working...

Good luck
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCMDA:
Why is it not mandatory for people to post screen shots of their ROM, when submitting a new thread for people to try it?

I personally don't wanna waste time and hassle flashing a ROM to find out it's ugly and not well made.

You can spend hours, days, weeks building a ROM.. but can't take 3 seconds or less to take a screen shot? :rolleyes:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Why should it be made mandatory? We all know what Sense ROMs look like. We all know what AOSP ROMs look like, we all know what Miui ROMs look like. If you cannot put two and two together to get four maybe you shouldn't be flashing ROMs. Screen Shots do very little to illustrate how well a ROM preforms. It just shows what it looks like. You don't look in the paper for a car and think "i want that car" without test driving it first. And you do not rely on other people test driving the car for you then reporting back to you.

I personally have no problems with them not offering screen shots for their ROMs. I'd rather download it and install it and test it for myself. After all it's easy for us to say what we like on your phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
Because if the ROM is not themed (which will be stated) they all basically look the same. We all know what AOSP looks like, and we all know what Sense looks like. Why would you judge the ROM off of someone else's wallpaper?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
Yea, what he said! That always happens to me!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faux123:
I post ss even though my aosp is completely vanilla and I have no plans to theme it or move away from the vanilla look :p
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I understand where you are coming from. but though out time i'm sure any Android user has seen all of the different UI's. They might not know what they are named, but they know what they are, and have seen them. That's kinda the point i'm getting at. I'm not trying to sound like a jackwagon but someone doesn't need to hold their respective hands 24 / 7.

Self accountability and self responsibility i guess is a thing of the past.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
for what it is worth.

And i completely agree with your judgment call on leaving vanilla just plain vanilla.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I guess we are side stepping each others argument. We'd make good politicians :p . SS would provide a good insight to how the ROM is theme'd, and how it looks... And i'll give you that. But it will not do any justification on how well the ROM runs. How smooth it is or anything. My point still stands. Screens shots will not tell you how well a ROM is built it only tells you how it looks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paso876:
I agree with the OP, ss should be mandatory if you've done any form of custom graphical changes. While it wont depict the performance, it sure will give an idea on the appearance. Whether its food, cars, women & even roms, appearance is a deal breaker for me :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCMDA:
so i post 5 links to 5 roms

all you know is 3 are 2.2.1 and 2 are 2.3

2 are similar in looks

3 are totally different.

you're gonna flash every single one of them til you find one that suits you?

forget that...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
This thread reminds me of trying to get my wife to pick out an adw theme...she was so fixated on what the wallpaper looked like in the sceen shots that it made her dislike some of the themes. There aren't many super themed out ROMs in our dev section, and the ones that are do have screen shots. Like I said, for the most part you are just going to get a picture of the wallpaper someone is using.

Do you guys get the overscroll effect (orange flash either top or bottom) in the home overview? What I mean by home overview is the button beside the call and web browser that shows all the applications. Im not sure if I'm just OCD or it's not suppose to work there, but just wanted to check.

*Last update. There is some testing going on in the thread, expect updates on the testing after 6/14*

Apparently there is a 1980mah battery for sale on ebay for the g2x. It's located here: http://goo.gl/fTVHF

I decided to contact all purchasers of the battery via researching the seller's feedback list. I hit up all P990 and P999 purchasers who have had the battery at least 1 week. I'm posting responses as I receive them so I'll keep adding to this, newest at the top -
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xmoo:
IDK,

I'm always afraid these cheap batterys will burn my phone....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
cheap battery perma bricked one of my phones (oem battery would not even power it up), and almost perma bricked the one after it (oem battery fired it up)

never again will i do aftermarket battery
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Huh.. I have used them for years without any ill affects. Not to say it doesn't happen.. but that's the purpose of this post. To really see how things are going out there for those that have been using the battery for a while. Some real world input and not someone marketing a product.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
Hmmmm thanks for doing that research! I'm definitely considering giving this one a try. I've also had extended batteries in the past and none have ever bricked my phone. I'm still a little hesitant because of the bad hype concerning third party batteries. Let us know if you get a hold of any more reviews! Thanks again!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dombera:
What do you think of this one?

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/mugen-lg-optimus-2x-extended-battery-1700mah-p29755.htm
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
third party electronics period make me twitch.

when i was in sales, first thing i asked when people had dead phones, overheating issues, or bubbled up batteries was "where did you get your car charger" and 9/10 people said wally world, 7-11, ebay, indirect dealer. i ask to see it and sure enough it was some 2 dollar pos.

jus sayin...AM electrical parts are not the best. some are better than others, and as always you get what you pay for.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
I agree with you, I just dislike people who dismiss every single third party product as junk. If you do your research and understand what you read, you can find a third party product here and there that makes using your device a lot more enjoyable. That's just my view on things, if people still want to stay completely away from third party products, they have every right to do so.

Oh and as far as getting what you pay for, there are some pretty good deals out there (http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehi...=UTF8&qid=1306108673&sr=8-1&tag=5336653508-20 for example from personal experience) that are, in my opinion, worth much more than the price.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Agreed. I investigate every product before purchasing. Everyone in my home, as well as most of my friends and family, buy 3rd party. I have yet to hear of a challenge outside of forums and such. I believe they exist, but as far as my social circle, I have yet to see it. Plus, I have saved so much via 3rd party that if I had to replace my phone, I would still be ahead. It would suck, but I would keep buying 3rd party.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
IDK.. not much gain to a 1700mah. I have done a similar thing on ebay with the 1800mah batteries that are out there. The response i received: "Stay away. I only get a few hours on the battery."

Boy, I'm so appreciative of honest buyers.. They have helped me a lot. It's a great way to know if you're getting into something bad or not.. just ask those using the products. They got nothing to gain/lose. If they love it, they'll tell ya. If they hate it, they'll tell ya.

Personally, I wouldn't touch that battery. Why?: "Write the first customer review!" Ahhh, no thanks. If it was a good product, there would already be feedback through the buzz on misc. forums.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] whitemusketeer:
A while ago, I used one of those Andida batteries for the old HTC Touch Diamond 2 :D

That one had 1700 mAh and the HTC battery had 1100 [not 1400] mAh (I think).

There was an improvement over the HTC battery, quite some hours and I used that one for at least 2 months and it did not die after one week or so :)

Maybe it is worth a try.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rotohammer:
480mAh extra capacity in the same size package as the OEM battery?

Impossible

If a battery is the same size as the OEM one, it doesn't matter if its labeled 1600mAh, 1700mAh or 1980mAh. It's a scam.

No matter how badly you want to rationalize the impossibility as being false, its still just a scam.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
I'd like to read up and study this. Can you provide a resource for this info?

If that's the case.. and I can get a replacement/backup battery that performs equally, at the fraction of the cost.. I'm in. Regardless, I'm very interested in researching this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I

Me too. Because the g2 has a 1300 and the incredible has a 1450. The incredible battery fits and works on theg2.

G2x with faux AOSP
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
Lol that's a good point...I'm not well educated on batteries at all so my voice on the matter shouldn't be used as a reference, but I've used extended batteries in the past (ones the same size as the OEM battery for that phone) and they have worked. Sure, they only had an hour or two of life more than the OEM one, but it was still a result (and a consistent one). I know that technological definitions might not back that up, but as long as somethings works how I want it to, I really don't care about technicalities :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
My thoughts exactly. Real world results are what matter the most to the end user.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
Yup exactly. And that's why I tend to stick with reading user reviews on forums or product pages as opposed to looking for an "expert" opinion on the product when the "expert" has never used nor tested it. I have A LOT of respect for people who read up on a subject and are well educated about it, believe me. But my real concern is whether or not a product actually works in the real world for real users. I am not concerned about what statistics, etc. say a product should do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Well... That's an extremely good point. The impossible is obviously possible. Newer tech? Who knows.. I need to see the literal science behind it and hear from someone that is in the field..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cy888:
I don't think it's fair to say straight out that's its impossible and that these batteries are a scam.

I've tired to do some simple looking around on the net and seems it is a hit and miss on some of these extended batteries, but not all companies are bad with many being legit. Total legit 1980mah? I dunno, is there anyway to test this capacity?

I've used an aftermarket 1900 mAh batt on my G2. Can't rem the company name, it was for another htc phone and i had to cut the tab, but it worked and it definitely lasted longer then the stock battery.

For my G2x , I recently purchased one of these Andida 1980mah's and have had it in my phone for last couple days. These for sure last longer then my stock battery. It would barely make it from 830am till 7pm. With this new one, yesterday I started at 8:52am and lasted to 240am, with a brief 30min plug in to computer to do some syncing around mid day.

Here are some screen caps

about 852am start.

A little pc sync/charging around 3:17-3:37ish

Then stayed at 1% from 10:24ish till 2:40. then i plugged it in to charge.

Today, I started fresh 100% charge at 2pm and now its 9:33pm and Im sitting at 60%. Hope this helps in anyway. I'll try to report back more after some battery conditioning.

Btw, there are other sellers on ebay I think. Just look up Andida for G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rafarataneneces:
So is anybody going to buy that battery?

I'm really anxious to see if this phone can work better

with SetCPU I guess I can still monitor the temperatures

I had a problem with a European battery that reported temperature erroneous (always 25 C)

I wonder if these work great
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
check out the first post.. I'm updating it with what people are saying who have been using the battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechFu:
Can anyone who has bought this battery confirm that it is “Physically bigger” (side by side comparison) than the OEM battery? Just because it can fit in the phone without an extended door does not necessarily translate too it is the exact same “physical size” battery,

Example: a long time ago in a galaxy far away, i had a Blackberry Curve 8320. I bought an extended battery from Seidio.that was 1500mAh. and the OEM battery was 1100mAh. The 1500 fit in the phone (just barely by the way), and it was noticeably bigger...as it was a little harder getting the case back on. An you could see it was physically bigger. But... no extended door needed.

So in regards to the reply by “Rotothammer” in this thread...(i have seen his other posts and the test in regards to extended batteries.) I would agree with him....If it is exactly the same size “physically” than the odds of any real gain are slim to none. However if like with the Blackberry Curve example above, the battery is obviously a little bigger.... than it should be possible to squeeze 480mAh into a bigger battery that would fit in the exact same space/ compartment as where you stick in the battery.

So is it bigger? Is it noticably harder to get the door back on? Side by side comparison? etc...

Thanks in advance for anyone who replies.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cy888:
I have one like i said in my previous post.

The Andida battery is slightly thicker/denser then the stock battery.

The stock battery, you can feel that it is kinda recessed into the battery pack. Like look at the LG stock battery and you can see it kinda concaves around the edges. kinda hard to explain, just look at the battery and you can see.

The Andida battery is fuller and doesn't have this indention. Measuring it, it seems to but just 1mm thicker, dont have a scale but does feel heavier too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cy888:
Oh here are some side by side pics

can kinda see how the stock battery is recessed in a little.

Not really thicker, maybe by 1mm.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Nice pics, thanks for sharing. The thickness doesn't look to be wider by 1mm. At first it looked like it, but I counted the lines. :) If I get one, I'll measure w/ some calipers and weigh it out..

Regardless if it's lasting longer or not, imho it's a great alternative for a backup. I fully understand that it may be a placebo effect (so far, all are saying that it's lasting longer). That's much more reassuring than the responses I got on the 1800mah battery that warned me to stay away.. they were only getting a few hours of life. On the contrary, so far, everyone loves the battery and recommends it. That's good enough for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechFu:
Thanks cy888. Much appreciated. I think I will get it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cy888:
Yea, its maybe like .5mm ? lol. not really that thicker, but the main/middle part of the battery feels thicker. Either way, its working well for me.

Keeping tabs - yesterday from 2pm till 3:28am, was at 30% before i plugged it in.

Under some heavy use mid-day today, 12hrs in and was at 16% before i plugged it in.

btw I bought it from a guy on craigslist locally, but seems hes also got a ebay auction for it too. http://cgi.ebay.ca/Andida-1980-mAh-BATTERY-T-Mobile-G2x-LG-Optimus-2-/330571728852?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cf79c47d4#ht_741wt_1139
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
Ordered mine 1980mah Andida battery ;)

Even if it turns not to be any better £17 is a price I can live with.

Will report mine back once I got it and charged few times ;)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dn3g3l:
for those of you that have the battery, what's the temperature of the battery when it's charging? my stock one gets warm when charging and it actually gets hot when i'm playing certain games while charging.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttabbal:
It is possible to test capacity. I built a tester based on a design from the captivate forum. Check vibrant accessories for the details. If I find $30 laying around I'll use my tester on it. If someone really wants to know before then, send me one and I'll test it for a few cycles and send it back to you.

The tester is easy to build if you have a microcontroller dev kit around. There are details for arduino and ubw boards..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] it2steve:
Agreed.... I too am in. Thanks to the op and all those looking into it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Black6spdZ:
Sure, everyone will most likely see an improvement in runtime vs an older used battery pack! Depending on the phone's charging circuitry and EOC termination voltage, I would guess about a 300 cycle life on the typical battery, and the end of life is usually 70% of original design capacity.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
I really love the informative information on the battery! Most posts just ramble on how it lasts longer or doesn't with out giving any solid feedback. I will keep an eye out on this thread, and when I have the spare cash, I will try and buy that battery. From what I have seen in other users feedbacks from the past few devices I have owned Andida batterys really are good, you just have to purchase the "real" thing, and not some cheap knockoff.
