Hmmm

Have high drain...

and not much on my homescreens either! 2 widget!

Will try to remove the clock / weather widget (yr.no) and see what happens.
[Galaxy S II General] flafla:
hello peeps.

i've run many different roms, incl the original samsung stock rom at 2.3...4? i don't even remember now, it was so long ago, since i started rooting and flashing everything on my phone. I can't say how my battery life was when i first got my phone but i think it wasn't exceptionally bad. I only had a few widgets such as retro clock and date, youtube, howstuffworks facts and google news.

after using stock, i flashed to lite'ning 6.1 ROM and that was when i really started looking at battery life. i think after the first day and without battery calibration , i lost around 30% over night (plug in and discharge for 8-10 hours while i slept)

so i started panicking and started reading all about sgs2 battery life and things like that. Flashed ninphetamine2.1.3 kernel on my phone and did all the calibration things, and battery life dropped to around 3% an hour iirc. probably had less widgets at this time too, though i think widgets like youtube and HSW weren't the culprits for the huge battery drain.

now, using CyanogenMod7 nightly #60 and battery life is average, can last me a full day with light use and around 13-15 hours if i'm checking whatsapp, friendcaster, pulse quite often.
[Galaxy S II General] @Class:
Come on, is this still an issue? I downloaded the latest firmware JPK2 and KI4 both still have this severe problem.

Phone is dead in about 5 hours. No widgets...

Tried Tegrak and Lulz Kernels without any luck.
[Galaxy S II General] rj3005:
I have 24.....48 hours on kj2, lots of widgets, latitude and always signed in to google talk.
[Galaxy S II General] Entropy512:
Go drain-hunting, you've got a rogue app somewhere.

Yes - the way suspend/resume dynamics work on our phone, a rogue app that causes frequent wakes from sleep will appear in battery usage as "Android OS" usage, even when an app is to blame.
[Galaxy S II General] SiSL:
My first response to battery threads:

1. I always use 2G instead of 3G for phone purposes unless I need emergency fast internet, other than I use Wi-Fi...

2. I shut down Wi-Fi manually from top menu when I don't use it.

3. I got some widgets, but definitely not covered with them...

4. I use setCPU while screen off...

I overall get 2d or 1.5d with light to heavy usage... That's good for a 1.2 ghz phone I guess for now... Oh I definitely don't install Skype and all my "updates" are manual...
[Galaxy S II General] slpjcool:
Excellent article. Indeed widgets do drain your batt. I try not to use Widgets as much.
[Galaxy S II General] drigz08:
I on LP4, in 16 hours I get -1%. My battery is calibrated. You have to do better.

SetCPU has background process

Voltage Control does not have background process.
[Galaxy S II General] frisky_bg:
Keeping auto-sync and Internet communications on all the time decreases battery life dramatically whether u use widgets or not. I think this is not a bug
[Galaxy S II General] FeuchtVonLipwig:
I expected much when i bookmarked this huge post in combination with the title. But after i read it the basic information coming with it is just "apps and widgets (like elixir) drain battery when you use them" (or are used automatically) which sounds very logic to me :P

I'm also not sure about that but who needs to know what you get for battery results when using "airplane mode" ?

I have like no use for my phone except for playing games when i turn of all functions that give me online connectivity so i can as well just turn off my phone completely if i cant receive messages. The only thing where it could be useful in my eyes would be (like the name says it) in an airplane when i want to read something saved or check my calender or something like that and have to turn off the emissions coming from the phone to preserve everyone's safety :laugh:

Well at least you solved the problems yourself and gave others some feedback :good:
[Galaxy S II General] gravityz3r0:
if you lose 1% in 16hours....so theoretically you can last 1600hours (66 days) with 100%? Sounds like a a total bull to me..
[Galaxy S II General] frisky_bg:
I think he meant having 1% left after using the phone for 16 hours :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] FeuchtVonLipwig:
Thats of course total bull****, yes. You have to do it the other way round. You make a full cycle with your phone (from 100 to 0 %) and THEN you can calculate the loss in one hour.
[Galaxy S II General] 14K:
Bug

Is there same bug as when i restart my phone i had 45% and after the restart i had 13%. I did another restart right after and had 3%. Why is that? And now my phone is slow. I tuned it down to 800mhz to cool down, gets really hot at 1200mhz. Any idea?

Im running CM10. Kaffee4eck ROM v.6
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ahhduy:
I've been having trouble flashing cwm to my transformer. I was following the pure root guide and as of now I have it rooted just fine.

I didn't flash cwm during the initial rooting but I tried to go back and basically redo the steps and just skip the actual rooting part.

When I double click cwm.bat while the transformer is in apx mode it opens a cmd prompt window and gives me the message

nvflash started

[resume mode]

Is this right? Couldn't be since I cannot boot into clockwork recovery mode. Any help is appreciated thank you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] makec3rt:
Follow this tuts and update with latest CWM for tf101.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ahhduy:
Oh sorry that is the guide I was following, not prime. Not sure why I wrote that I'll change it. Thanks for the modded cwm though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] LNKNPRKFN:
I followed this guide too and i dont have CWM either...hmmm, i used NVFLASH prime 1.5 before but the theme kept messing things up so i had to return to stock and reroot but this metheod didnt put CWM on, any other suggestions?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zer0_Cool:
Trying to do this now using the gscript method and no matter how many apps I remove, or processes I kill, I still get the out of memory error. Tried it on fresh reboots, not sure what to do. I can't even return the phone for one with a working trackball unless I can unroot it, let alone flash gsb 3.6 :(

How can I get this to work?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scary alien:
Zer0_Cool,

Do you mean the Gscript method from my thread over on AndroidForums? I've gotten the memory errors before too. They seem to be related to what ROM you are running it from. Not sure how or if this is actually true or relevant.

The OP did finally get it to report that the flash was good in the first post above.

I do suppose its possible that your memory errors are indeed due to bad blocks whose multiple messages are due to the auto-write retries (I'm guessing here that this is done my the flash_image utility and is not part of my Gscript or method).

I don't know what else to tell you...all the magic (and the out-of-memory errors) happens by the flash_image utility.

Hope this helps a little.

Cheers!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synesthete:
After trying the second time, but before rebooting, I tried another method that someone had mentioned in another thread. When I tried it, it said that it wasn't going to flash, because the headers were the same. That gave me enough confidence that it had flashed correctly. The directions are HERE, but you can see them below. I left out a the steps involving pushing the flash_image to the phone, because it should already be on your phone.

adb shell [hit enter]

su [hit enter]

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system [hit enter]

chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image [hit enter]

Now exit all terminal windows and reboot your phone.
Mount your phones sd card and drop the recovery .img on to it and eject your phone.

adb shell [hit enter]

su [hit enter]

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img

To get into recovery turn off you phone and hold the Volume Up + Power until it boots into recovery.

Oh, and thank you very much for putting together this recovery, Scary Alien :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scary alien:
synesthete,

You are most welcome! Glad its helped folks. I did get some help from RA himself to steer me in the right direction for figuring-out the proper steps for get his custom recovery recompiled and repackaged was a little harder to get my head around. Props to RA for being such a cool dude and helping me to help everyone else out with trackball issues.

If you (or anyone else) hasn't seen it, here's my thread over on AF with lots more installation details and options:

http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/214240-amon_ra-1-6-2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html

At the time I created this alternate recovery, I didn't want to create a new thread here so as not to take any credit or confuse folks with RA's main Amon_RA recovery thread, so I simply posted in his thread here at XDA and put some alternate installation instructions over on AF.

Good link to the DroidForums.net thread...I hadn't seen that before and it certainly has more detail about using flash_image than what I documented. Thanks for that.

Cheers!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zer0_Cool:
I ended up getting it to work last night. I'm just on a fresh install and didn't have the sdk set up, so I wanted to be able to flash gsb 3.6 without having to go through all the extra trouble. It worked when I did it on the sdk, after getting memory error outputs, about halfway through it finally went. Something related to the script maybe? After removing apps/clearing cache/etc. I tried the script and it failed. I made no changes on the phone from when I tried the script to when I tried the sdk...weird...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scary alien:
Well, the script is actually pretty simple. It just sets things up so that it will run the flash_image command for you (i.e., it pretty-much does exactly the same steps that synesthete posted above for the SDK, it just does them in Gscript). It keeps people from having to install the SDK and type in the commands and also encountering the USB connectivity issues that a lot of folks have.

Glad you got it working!

Cheers!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mykoe817:
so hey there guys. I mainly lurk around here and check out what people are doing while reading and researching for myself.

I was up for an upgrade months ago and finally got to it last week. Picked up the g2x.

Before rooting or anything I searched around for bugs and etc. Came upon some known issues and started to check my phone out in detail. I definitely had screen bleeds in the upper two corners. BT kept dropping and phone would get very hot. The worse was charging via USB the whole phone would become inoperable. I would have to remove battery to restart phone.

Chat with a Tmo rep via net. Had them noted my account for issues. (She sent out a battery) I had to end conversation since I was at work. After work I contact customer support and mentioned the noted info. Was informed I had to go to the same store I upgraded at for a quick and easy exchange since I was within 30 days.

Called the store to confirm. (#8309) and spoke with a good rep and we got straight to the point. He ended by telling me he would exchange me if he had any - but the truth is LG recalled all their inventory. I told him I will be stopping by so we can figure something out as this is not cool... :(

Came to the store and spoke with the same guy. Confirmed that the T-mobile G2X is being recalled by LG and existing G2X currently in hands of customers will be receiving a OTA update to address some issues. (according to rep, just a band aid) We all know it is mainly hardware related and the rep agrees. I mentioned that it is messed up their not recalling all phones as I believed it was a hardware issue that no software updates can fix. I ended up leaving with a HTC Sensation (not exactly happy with it). I took this since it was the only thing comparable and best deal currently. Also got the rebate and the difference on the G2X. Sensation is filled with bloat crap and crap I will never use...

Sorry for the long post. I made it long since I don't post often and didn't want you guys to think I pulled it out of you know where...

LG has recalled the G2X from tmobile stores nation wide. Current phones with customers are not being recalled and an OTA update is expected to "fix" the issues. (no details given on the OTA and what issues it will address).

The rep really had no idea how long it would be before LG sends them good units. I asked him what he thought of the Sensation. he said "It's probably one of the most powerful phone out there now" :rolleyes:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mykoe817:
Figured I'd post this also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
Until there's an official announcement from Tmo corporate and LG, I'm not going to believe a thing that a Tmo sales person at a store or online chat rep says.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
agreed.......its not confirmed in my eyes we need an official announcement
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ikaden:
I agree. Wirefly and Amazon are still selling the device and have it in stock so if LG was doing a recall then we'd see it removed from 3rd party retailers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
It's definitely not a hardware issue. Wish people would stop saying that. My phone works perfectly fine. The issues that people are having are software. Personally, I am not experiencing any issues and many others are not.

And recalls are used when products are unsafe, not when a handful of people are having issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
This.

If any decision had been reached to discontinue the phone there would be an announcement. Dont listen to reps they usually dont know anything about whats going on within the company.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dvan13578:
stopped reading after "Chat with a Tmo rep"

sorry
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Honestly you can't say either. If it were software everyone would have the issue since they have same software, hardware could still be the issue.

All I know is g2x is awesome but too buggy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Just called my local store and they said horse puckey to your claim. No offense intended OP.

Sometimes I think certain Tmo people get a little ahead of themselves. Do you have the phone number for the store you are dealing with?

edit: Nevermind. I found the store. For those interested. T-Mobile - The Block At Orange (8309) (T-Mobile Retail Store) in Orange, California. Phone: 714-978-2597

Hey OP: What is the name of the guy fliping Sensations for G2x's?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PoisonWolf:
Sounds like the rep was providing you with his hypothesis of what's going on internally.

Personally, I'd recommend you wait for at least 5 months or so. If there are hardware issues, they're most likely stream-lining their assembly line, components, supply manufacturers now, etc. It's unfortunate that they rushed this unit out so fast just to get it into the hands of the consumers. Companies are now using consumers to offset their R&D costs. Lawl.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icecicle04:
5 months bro? ! We could file a class action lawsuit and own LG in that amount of time
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
Yes, the phones have the same software but that doesn't mean that everyone uses the phone the same way, has the same apps and same configurations.

That's like saying just because a bunch of people have the same computer running Windows 7 that they should all have the same issue when there are tons of variables.

These phones are mass produced using the same hardware. If hardware was the issue, a vast majority of phones would be effected. Which is the case with screen bleeding.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icecicle04:
On a side note I feel like if I hold a conversation longer than 10 minutes while my phones charging my ear would litterali burn like I had to hang up cause it actually started to hurt not like cry hurt but like f the call this ****s hot hurt
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mykoe817:
Lol. ok guys. store# 8309 Charles

knock yourself out. all tmo stores nation wide are "temp out of stock on g2x" have fun whatever you guys want to believe. all I know if my g2x crapped out on me and I got something else and thats what info I got. You guys are am amazing bunch and probably think im some idiot newb. LOL

oh. and its definitely hardware related issues as well.

edit: don't get me wrong. I want the g2x. I just don't want to wait long. I'll be buying another one once they are avail with no issues.

fwiw: recalls can happen on multiple levels. consumer based recalls, manufacturers, retails, sales, etc. What LG is doing is legal by all means. Even if in your eyes its just horse donkey crap. I can attest to this as it has to do with my current occupation involving products. LG Definitely doesn't make everything in house. That would mean multiple manufacturers would be making multiple components for LG thus more can go wrong.

The whole idea of "All g2x has same hardware thus all should have same problems" is wrong.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
MY problems were software related. I can say that for sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
this is a GREAT phone. period.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
Yes it is wrong since there are different software variables that could cause issues. Hence a software issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cubeology:
Has it crossed anyone's mind that stores don't have G2X's because they are selling so many that demand has exceeded their ability to manufacture the phone? As far as buggy phones go I have no issues with my phone and I am inclined to believe most of the problems are from a very vocal few.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
-_- why would you want the phone to be recalled? To get the sensation?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icecicle04:
...no ..I feel like its more cause of everyone swapping 2 or 3 out that they ran out not cause the whole world got a g2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
That would not be much fun. Who could we direct our righteous anger at then? Wild conspiracy theories are much more entertaining.;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zenstrom:
This is the closest answer. LG manufactures the phones and then T-Mobile places an order for a set amount. T-Mobile placed an order to LG for the amount of G2Xs they estimated would last them through the next few months; however, people began swapping their phones 3-4 times, which means they blew through their entire inventory in half the time they thought they would, leading to a shortage.

Now, T-Mobile obviously realizes that if they were to place an order for additional phones, they would continue to run into the same problem: people would complain about LCD bleed, software bugs, etc. and continue to swap their phones, causing T-Mobile to have to order 4x the amount of phones they should actually need and the customer's problems still might not be fixed.

T-Mobile then told LG "we're not ordering anymore G2Xs until you fix the LCD and update the software and we're not releasing any software updates until we're 100% sure that the bugs are worked out." This is why we've heard that LG is switching their LCD manufacturer and also why the giant delay in the GB update—if they screw up this update, there are going to be a LOT of angry customers wanting their money back or swapping to another phone entirely (which we've already seen happening, but if the update doesn't fix people's issues, you can bet your ass almost everyone is going to jump ship to another phone if possible.)

T-Mobile is likely losing a good amount of money on this whole debacle and wants to ensure they minimize the amount of replacements before they put the G2X back up for sale.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] greengoldmello:
This is the most acceptable reason that I've read thus far
[T-Mobile LG G2x] techboydino:
I'm not 100% sure but I think LG makes their own panels/screens. They also make the beloved IPS panels for all of Apple's mobile devices. After sitting down with LG rep at CES this year, they were confident that the new lineup of phones (which is what we are currently seeing on all carriers) will have screens that are second to none. This is the only reason I am sending in for warranty. The process began Monday and I should have a new phone by Friday. TMO promised to overnight me a new phone if the replacement is as bad as the last.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTRACER88:
Where do you get that all stores are "temporarily out of stock"? I have 25 in stock.. Most of my division has them in stock. The truth is, may be that the store doesn't want to swap out your phone because we are not receiving shipments of phones and they would rather use our limited inventory on activations or upgrades.

At my store I can careless and will swap it within a reasonable time frame. However, if you do a warranty exchange, we will not accept the refurbished phone and do a swap.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] j87seo:
I went to a tmobile store today and apparently they have some in stock to sell but the phone itself is being discontinued. Don't know how creditable it is but thats what I was told and thought I'd share.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dorksturhh:
i seriously doubt the phone is on recall, the only thing that bothers people are software stuff, eventually the kinks will be worked out

sit & wait let cyanogenmod do their thing :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rayvenhawk:
The G2x are not sold out due to demand. The stores were ordered to send back all stock due to the massive amounts of returns and complaints. They wont sell in stores until all issues are resolved.

They are told to say they are just sold out and awaiting for more to be sent.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay2487:
if that's the case then there should be something different with my new replacement. Perhaps you could tell me what it is because I'm not seeing it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
So what I have learned in the past few days is, the g2x may or may not be recalled, the g2x update may or may not be released soon and that the canadians may or may not want to have us change the name of the forum so they don't get confused.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PoisonWolf:
Inception. BRAAAAAHHHHHMMMMMMM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
If you throw in....may or may not reboot, may or may not overheat...then you've about got it. This qualifies you for asst. Moderator status. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTRACER88:
False. We were not ordered to send them back due to massive amount of returns... :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTRACER88:
We do not have an official word for why we are sold out of G2x's but this is probably the case! The G2x isn't going anywhere.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] madwolf27:
Well, I think I have proven that its NOT a software issue. At least not entirely. Running CM7 nightlies and have had the Black screen charging issue twice (on nightlies 54 and 57). Thats the with the CM7 stock kernel. Gonna try faux's.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
You havent proven anything other than your failure to understand the software you are using. Nightly releases are not final finished polished products. They are, at best, beta releases, a work in-progress. You can't possibly expect to have no issues running software that is not a final release. Its buggy by its very nature.

That said, running CM7 #57 here and I've had no issues whatsoever.
