Battery saving tipps: -Don't let google and htc sync. It uses lot of data and battery resources.(I don't like my sensitive data to be copied on their servers anyway.) Sync with your pc regularly. - If u use data for e-mail and weather sync, use Gsm only mode, you don't need that much of speed for those, turn WCDMA on if u need it for skype, etc. Hspda and 3g are big battery killers. -Everything on manual sync. There is a sync all widget in sense to use. U can hit it anytime you want to. -No live wallpaper -Hotspot uses excessive amount of battery. Use it on charger only. -Screen light to be turned down. Use Screen filter app nighttime. -Turn wifi and mobile data off when not in use, so phone can sleep properly. (wifi timeout app) -Turn off wireless network positioning. -Keep bluetooth off when not in use. -Select short screen timeout like 15s. -Screen on time is the main culprit in appalling battery life. Use your watch to check time rather than turning the screen on. -If u struggle to find 3g or Hspda for data or network itself, change provider, because no matter what phone u have, u will have this problem. Try to find spots in your flat with better signal for data. Searching for network uses a lot of battery. -Try to charge your phone from 0% overnight with the phone off for a couple of times (8-12hrs) -When gps is on it doesn't mean that it uses battery. If you see the sattelite icon blinking or just on, that's when it uses battery, a significant amount of battery.

Obviously if you apply some of these battery life will be better. If you apply all of them, battery life will be exceptional.

Just got off the phone with T-Mobile reps and they are exchanging my phone for the LG star which they say is the g2x upgrade! they supposedly fixed the random reboots,loaded new software and fixed the overheat issues as well as screen bleeding.I will be receiving the new phone on Wednesday so ill keep my fingers crossed that the issues are actually fixed and that it has the gingerbread update already on it!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] zxicemanxz:
Yea I get that ..but the Rep said they started reshipping them and were no longer being sold as g2x now I don't entirely know if the Rep knew what they were talking about but I just figured I would let you in on what I was told...and if it happens to be true then awesome if not then I'm in no worse position then I already was having a g2x with many issues

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cyberdan3:
They told me LG Star and when I told them it was a G2X they said "Oh yes, that right".

I just called again as my 3rd warranty had screen bleed issues and they sent me to loyalty. The loyalty person said that I could get a Galaxy S 4G which is an "really amazing phone" free of charge as an exchange.......

I explained I wanted a Sensation if anything (equal specs) and she stated "we don't normally do this, but you can pay the difference of the Galaxy S 4G and the Sensation which is $50. I asked to talk with a manager and they were all tied up for 20 minutes so they have to call me back. I am gonna threaten to write corporate till I get a sensation free of charge. Any tips for when they call me back?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 21productionz:
How long are your wait times when calling customer care? I'm averaging 45-60 minutes. I just got someone and my phone reset after a 50 minute wait. You think they would call me back. But nope.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cyberdan3:
I can talk to someone fairly quickly, they just tend to put me on hold a lot to check "options"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 21productionz:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaunt1969:
T-Mobile and att have the same 4 customer service procedures.

That's the main reason att wants to buy T-Mobile. No retraining of there personal needed.

1) lie to the customer. " say anthig to pacify the customer and get them off the phone"

2) Screw the customer. " talk them into something they did not want. And ashure them its better. As long as the company comes out on the better side"

3) Steel from the customer. "Doubble bill them and make up something to call it that no one knows what its for. So that if they catch it and call in about it we can play ignorant and blame it on a computer error"

4) Repeate steps 1-3 till no more of the bothersome customers are left.

If this doesn't happen with your other battery then maybe it is in fact a bad battery.

[Thunderbolt General] system6:
I love how everyone is quick to make short little quips instead of discussing it. I know how often we have been dissapointed, but I befriended a Verizon employee through very strange circumstances yesterday and he emailed this today.

It's legit. Internally anyways. MR2 was a failure and GB is ready to go. Lets see if it deploys as planned. A leak would be cool. Kuddos to the OP for actually wanting to inform and have discussion with like minded individuals.
[Thunderbolt General] animez:
I hope it is real but would not be surprised if it turned out to be fake. That being said, I have to agree that the people who claim it's fake haven't really given a reason to believe it's fake other than a single misspelled word. I've seen much worse mistakes on much more important and official documents where I work, it happens.

I'm not saying it's absolutely legit, just making the point that the reason it's being called fake is pretty flimsy.

Unless I missed something, it looks similar to the one that announced the first update back in May. Either way, we'll find out in 9 days.
[Thunderbolt General] KingTUT55:
If you actually read the Engadget article, they specifically say so far it is just a rumor, and rumors don't come out of thin air, they have been working on this update for several reasons including video chat, skype, g talk, etc., better battery management, and task management on GB (which is much needed). Also quick question would ota go out to rooted phones? If so do you have to have all the bloatware or any other ways to prepare, and/or suggestions? I want gingerbread, I hate frozen yogurt, tastes funny! lol
[Thunderbolt General] gsxraddict:
Rooted users will probably never see the ota and if you do don't accept it or you will lose root.
[Thunderbolt General] BoulderGeek:
As I understand it, the Thunderbolt is very similar to the Sensation, with the exception of LTE radios, screen resolution and single core vs dual.

And, as we know, the Sensation ships with GB. Therefore, I would expect GB officially for the TBolt without a Samgung-level ridiculous delay.

But, what do I know; I'm a n00b.
[Thunderbolt General] mb02:
You fail. Just because the Sensation is an HTC phone that kinda looks like the Thunderbolt, theyre similar? How about, they are literally two completely different phones. Different CPU, different screen (resolution and size), newer version of Sense that the Thunderbolt will never officially see, HSDPA instead of CDMA/LTE, the only similarity is it is HTC...I don't understand how people try to make the correlation of similarities in two phones relates to the speed of an update on one. It has no bearing.

As a side note, if this was the official GB update, we as the root community would have already had it for at least a month. What we have had for a month NOW is an alpha build, which means we still have some time before our phone sees a GB update AND Verizon approves and pushes it.

I just got my Nexus S back for a usb port repair, and when I got it it updated to 2.3.4.

So I wanted to put some stuff back on the internal SD card I plugged it in and could not find the storage...

I had previously used this to add music to the music player...

So It seems that they have locked out direct access to the SD card???..ARE YOU SERIOUS??

So I figured I'd just install dropbox, and it says it does not have access to any SD card?? <add>>> It turns out that dropbox can access the internal storage but only when the phone is unplugged and the usb is not mounted>

However I cannot access the storage to put music on when plugged and mounted???

What is going on here? Did they just screw up the repair? or this a designed screw up?

[EVO 4G Android Development] bugaboo90:
I hope this is ok to post here and its of value.

Background: I was using a particular ROM and out of the blue my screen went. I could tell that it was rebooting because it was making noise and I could call it and the phone would do stuff but I couldn't see anything. So, I needed to unroot it to get it fixed by Sprint, but obviously I couldn't see anything to unroot. Eventually, the screen came back magically so I was able to unroot it easier but I decided to root then unroot so I could write this guide..

BTW, although I haven't done it, I think the RUU method may be the easiest but perhaps someone might find this of value..

First you need a tool called Android Screencast

This tool is a java tool that let's you see what's on your screen w/o your screen, however, it will not work on the bootloader screen.

In addition to this, I leveraged the unroot in 2 steps thread. So, read that thread.

1 -- with the screencast utility, you can easily do the s-on stuff. You just need to have a little patience.

2 -- After s-on, put the pc36img.zip on the root of the sd card.

3 -- Turn off the phone (I tried adb reboot bootloader but that didn't look for the pc36img.zip , so I powered off the phone)

4 -- hold power and vol down to go into bootloader.

5 -- now you are blind since screencast won't work on bootloader. The phone is rebooting to bootloader. This takes about 30 seconds.

6 -- Once in bootloader, it is validating the pc36img.zip file. This will take 2 mins, so allow 5 mins before you do anything

7 -- Once the file is validated the bootloader is waiting for you to hit Vol Up.

8 -- Once you press vol up, it will start processing the file. During this processing it will reboot the phone. Just don't touch it. All the processing will take 6 minutes so allow 10 mins before you touch the phone.

9 -- Once its done processing, it is waiting for you to hit the Vol up to reboot the phone. So, press vol up and it should reboot. this reboot takes about 4 mins.

I hope this helps...

Again, although I didn't use the RUU method, i think it is likely easier, but perhaps this might be help if you have a unique situation.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
Does the PC36IMG.ZIP include stock recovery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sirmx:
If you use an official PC36IMG.zip (taken from an HTC RUU) then yes, it will install a stock recovery. Open the .zip and look for recovery.img inside.

Not sure you'd need to worry about S-ON, but at least it worked for you.

edit: you might also be able to just use the .exe RUU version from your PC.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
Nice guide, I'm sure someone is going to be asking for this as I'm sure this has happen a hundred times to people and they just tend to freak out!

[EVO 4G Android Development] sirmx:
Yes and no.. stock recovery isn't really anything useful to us compared to say ClockworkMod or Amon_RA.

It's mainly used for OTA updates and such from HTC.

So pretty much, no recovery as far as we are concerned. :D

SetCPU master coolbho3000 has updated his app to include support for the Tegra 2. It's available at all the familiar places.

2.2.0 - Added an "In Call" profile. Improved the Set on Boot safemode function by including a flashable zip that toggles SetCPU's safemode. Press menu on the main tab for more details. Added autodetect support for all Tegra 2 fakeShmoo kernels (ie. G2x). Added a "Voltage" tab for undervolting the CPU on fakeShmoo kernels, some custom Galaxy S kernels, and some Nexus S kernels. This is a full-fledged interface for undervolting these devices, and includes backing up and restoring and a Set on Boot checkbox. Improved the way SetCPU initially requests root. Various miscellaneous bugfixes.
