[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Not much to tell yet as I just received the battery today. I charged it when I got home and the full charge finished about 4.5 hours ago and I removed it from the charger. In over four hours of use the battery is down 20%. That is with the phone sitting by my desk and me using it to view XDA threads, read and respond to emais and play an occasional round of Angry Birds. So that would extrapolate to 20 or so hours of use, which is easily double what I got with the stock battery. I will report more after it charges again tonight and I use it for a full day. The battery looked to be well made and fit in the phone perfectly (not too tight or too loose like some aftermarket batteries can be). Also the included back cover fit perfectly and is flush with the phone. Overall, the appearance is okay and the phone looks a little pregnant. Imagine if the device had a slide out keyboard and that is about how thick it is with the new back cover. Of course the phone also feels a little heavier now but I can get used to that. The phone fits in the hand nicely with the fatter cover and so far so good. The battery also did not overheat when charging and that is a good thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pbcal:
Ok. I got mine today. The temperature sensor of the battery is definitely not working. What ever I do the temperature is stuck at 77.5 Fahrenheit.

Did anybody tried to check the battery temp if it is changing at all.

Edit: I bought it from the Chicago seller.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
Nice. Really looking to getting mine now. I hope that back doesn't bother much.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
In regards to the temperature sensor mine fluctuates from 24.8C to 25.0C. Not sure if it is reporting accurate data; but I must say my phone does feel to be running cooler then it did before changing to this battery.

After one full day's use I can happily report the battery can go from waking up in the morning until I go to bed at night. The battery is not fully conditioned yet so this is very encouraging. My other battery needed to be charged at work or right when I got home from work. This is a definite improvement. Also, today I was in recovery a lot which probably sucks some battery to flash to the system. So far I don't mind the fat back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Update: The other day the battery went over 22 hours from being taken off the charge until it was at 2% and I put it back on the charger. Today it is on 14 hours so far with 31% left. I would say for the money this battery is living up to its expectations. My phone (inside my bag) did run slightly warm today but the battery temp indicator stayed at around 25C. I would have to say the battery temp gauge circuitry was installed for show and is not giving accurate data. Other than that I would say it is a great buy for less than a sawbuck.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Do You charge it in the phone or external charger.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I charge it on the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
External charger makes phone stay a 100% longer
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pbcal:
That means the external charger may be over charging the battery. It does not have overcharge protection. This may be bad for the battery in long run.

Also do not leave the battery on the charger overnight. Without temp sensor and overcharge protection it can even explore during long charging time.

Just my two cents.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I condition the battery already. Now I charge the battery on the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fuzzy bee:
I purchased a two-pack of the extended batteries from the Chicago seller on eBay while my G2x was at service for a broken screen. They ended up sending back a refurbed one. Since then, I have gotten crappy 4G service, and practically non-existent GPS. I emailed LG, and, of course, they wanted me to send the phone back in for evaluation.

What does this have to do with the battery, you might ask? Well, tonight I realized I'd just used the extended battery since I got the phone back. I popped it out and put the original battery back in. Stepped outside, and immediately have 4-bar 4G service, and picked up 6 satellites in just a couple of minutes. Put the extended battery back in, and I barely had 2G and could only see 2 satellites after ten minutes.

Coincidence?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Were you outside when these problems occurred?

My phone as far as I can tell is running the same.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fuzzy bee:
I was in the exact same position for both tests.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Sounds like battery voltage low. Waaf or fully charged? Get battery monitor widget to record voltage history.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fuzzy bee:
Yep - I tried my extended battery that I've used all day, as well as the one I pulled straight off the charger. Same results.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chisleu:
Haven't had any crashes since I flashed CM7 several days ago.

Installed this battery and charged overnight. It has crashed twice since then.

Maybe unrelated.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Battery doesn't make phone crash.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pbcal:
You think so... Seriously... Here is my story:

Had the extended battery with Weapon 2.5 and Faux kernel. Running setcpu to under volt -50mv for all frequencies. Working great for few days without any crash, so I decided to check "set on boot".

Recently found that the extended battery does not have a functional temperature sensor. So went back to the stock battery. Then every time I boot, it hangs within 10 sec of showing lock screen. I tried many times, but could not open setcpu to remove undervolting before the hang.

Then put back the extended battery, booted up, opened setcpu and unchecked "set on boot", shutdown. Put the stock battery and running without issue.

Conclusion: My phone can handle under voltage with extended battery, but not with stock battery.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Now that mine has conditioned for a week expected time on full charge is 20 hours give or take.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Black6spdZ:
as soon as I get my SB 989 battery tester back I will put the chicago 3500 and my two used OEM batteries to the test.. I figure I will charge and discharge at a few rates to get some data to post here

I’ve been getting 48 hours (easily) with moderate use (Display on for about 4.5 hours – includes games/movies/browsing).

Still on CM7 RC1. If it ‘aint broke, don’t fix it. ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] will748:
Benchmark

If you are conditioning a battery this size, it will take forever to drain out. little tip, download Battery Benchmark for the android market and run the 100% to lights out test (ONLY IF YOU ARE USING BATTERY CALIBRATION TO CONDITION IT, DRAINING AND THEN RECHARGING WILL DAMAGE YOUR BATTERY LIFE AS MANY HAVE SAID). For me it took about 4 hours to completely drain! (recharging took about 2 days).

NOOB ALERT
[T-Mobile LG G2x] corrupt05:
would a higher amp mini-usb charger make the battery charge faster or is the phone limited in the amount of mha it passes thru?
[Windows Phone 7 General] webbstar842:
Not sure about the rest of you...but, wow, I'm pretty freaking stoked about this pre-Mango....so many awesome features....it's light years ahead of NoDo...It's like NoDo was just trying to calm the masses after a lackluster OS start last year..Mango, on the other hand, well, Microsoft pulled out the big guns for this OS...some of these features are so innovative that they would be out of their minds not to go crazy w/ Mango advertising come this fall (it's hard to believe that they spent that 100 million on advertising all of last year b/c I'd be lying if I said I saw more than one commercial a week near the release date)

Anyway, stupid rant, but, I felt the need to give the Windows Phone Dev team props!
[Windows Phone 7 General] ycode90:
They need to put all that $ into development . This os is still a turd. If it weren't for all the hype I wouldn't be so put off butt all we've been hearing is wait for mango . It's kinda here and...... it still kinda sucks . Putting the surround back in the box till something major changes .
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Hard to please much? From your signature it looks like you need something which requires hacking / changing on a daily basis. I give you Windows Mobile & Android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikroland:
Till something major changes???? Dude what have you been smoking?

What would you consider a major change, what would they have to do to make you not call it a piece of ****? Which it's far from that. This thing rocks! The only complaint I have so far is the task manager, you should have the little x on the corner like in IE to close programs, yes even though they aren't using resources.
[Windows Phone 7 General] minori_aoi:
Still no SIM Tool Kit and USSD which most dumb phone have. All carriers in my country depend on USSD too much.

My only complaint would be the back button behaviour, or maybe the way WP7 open application itself. When I'm using FB chat, then the screen is locked, then I received message, and press the notification, it will take me to the chat screen. But apparently this is a brand new chat screen, as a result, when I press back button, it took me back to the same chat screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mezo9090:
yes , you need to have a backup of your phone to go back to nodo when official update come ... otherwise you are doomed

hint: don't try to format you computer LOL
[Windows Phone 7 General] ycode90:
Ms should not have released wp7 at all till it was at least as functional as every other phone on the market . People who actually bought with hard earned money are gonna be severly putt off by its lack.

.

Ohh yea pineapple cush
[Windows Phone 7 General] domineus:
it is functional...it didn't have IM support which it does now

and save from native access its a great OS
[Windows Phone 7 General] ycode90:
It's a good OS . I'm sure it's only gonna get better BUTT.................

IMO it has been released way to early most users are gonna be let down .

I got my surround in trade . I have several phones . The surround stays in it's box most of the time . What does that say ?

This is just my opinion . It's incomplete for retail sale and that is doing bad things to it's credibility as a good OS . It's harder to climb out of a hole than just to walk around even if it means waiting to release . I'm not talking Mango it's beta . I mean the OS all together .

If you go in a retail store they shun you away from the wp phones because of bad reviews and complaints. The sales rep here laughed at me when I asked what he thought of it .

Okay camera , really good media player . Those are the only things I can give it .

Again these are my opinions .

Still better than an iPhone tho .
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
It tells me you have extremely poor taste. The OS is not incomplete, Android phones cannot make me coffee in the morning, so I consider them incomplete then. And people turn users away because 95% of people who own an Android have no idea what they're even doing with a phone, let alone the differences with a phone they've never even personally used. Bad reviews? I've seen nothing but positive reviews. Yes, the OS is young & is missing features, people understand that... But the OS is far from incomplete...
[Windows Phone 7 General] ngagephone:
Lol could not have sead it any better. Lots of people just buy the most advertised phones on tv and think its the best because its on every other advert. Most people i know dont no what a smartphone is so thay go and buy i SGS2 or a ipone4 and use it only as a phone lol as they think its cool. Also as i remember i got the g1 on day 1 and it had pleanty of features missing that most dumb phones have also the iphone was the same so why slam MS for it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] behh:
ups, looks like it may be a problem, i hope the backup was automatic when doing pre mango update, otherwise i will probably look for optimus 7 nodo rom.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
It backs it up automatically during the Mango beta update, but copy the backup to a secure location just in case something happens to it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xsteven77x:
This. Poop OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xsteven77x:
Um you slam MS for it because this is years later and a poop OS is no longer acceptable.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Wyn6:
Then allow me to ask the same question that I'm sure y'all have been asked dozens of times, why are you here? Go to the android forums or an iphone blog. Those phones are much better than poor ol' poopy WP7.

Good luck t'ya.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ycode90:
I have a ATT Htc surround and do have hope . I'm no dev . I'm a average user . Just opinions, from an "average user" POV.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
I got it installed on my HTC Trophy and know what, there is no way I will roll back unless it's for the final. This upgrade was worth every bit so far, just the features and the perfomance difference sealed the deal for me.

I look forward to the next build...
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
wait and see what this poop OS will do to half F##### android OS, where you have malware on the market place...

MS, Apple, Ericson, Sony.... had bought the Nortel IP box (6000 ip patents) and that will put the Google OS in trouble, as Google or the android OEM will pay much bigger fee to MS and unfortunately apple as well..

and just for your info, MANGO is just the begining, the innovation will not stop here......

android tablets did not take off and now the OEM's are lookoing at MIcrosoft again for the WINDOWS 8..
[Windows Phone 7 General] enyaj:
Even at this BETA stage, I'm already loving Mango. Sure there are still a few things missing, which I really do not know what they are:-P, but I aso feel its much smoother and snapier(could be just me) This is a keeper for me until the official release.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sketchy9:
Don't worry, it's not just you. TBH I installed it the first night and was a little underwhelmed. I appreciated the changes but wasn't blown away by them. Over the past few days, though, I've come to appreciate how awesome this update really is. The thing just FLIES now, and the fast app switching/resume has changed the phone experience completely. Really looking forward to the official release.

[Windows Phone 7 General] trixnix:
is the mango beta 2 and mango beta 1 the same?

whats their OS version? pls enlighten me =)

my current OS version is 7661? is that a mango beta 2?
[Windows Phone 7 General] wakka420:
I wish i could find a way to get some custom alerts going. Other than that and the podcasts not downloading from marketplace, id say this update is pretty friggin sweet. I have like 3 copies of my backup stored on my pc, so i should be good.
[Verizon Droid Charge] R3define:
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this. But I was hoping someone could make this into a zip that we can flash in CWM. I was just looking for the off animation when you lock the screen. Like on the Nexus S. I'm holding off for GB till the bugs get taken care of so this would be for Froyo.

I'm running GummyCharged and PBJ Kernel.

Thanks in advance. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] papi92:
Hi if your unsure where to put a topic then just put it in general. Second there really is no way for screen off animations and such without gingerbread. Someone else may know how but I haven't seen it
[Verizon Droid Charge] R3define:
Kind of what I figured. :) Thanks for the quick reply.
[HTC EVO 3D] sroach23:
i am ready to ditch my vibrant piece of crap and want a phone that has working gps. how accurate is the gps along with programs like my tracks and runkeeper?
[HTC EVO 3D] Painkiller006:
The GPS works great, gets accurate location very quickly
[HTC EVO 3D] andrewmc42:
Ditto. It has nailed me within 3 feet while zoomed all the way in on the map. As I move around my yard it moves almost instantly.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zorachus:
Used a few times in Chicago today, near O'Hare airport which is known for **** signal. Worked perfectly.

Locks on quicker than my ogEVO.

Sent from my EVO-3D waiting for Myn's ROM
[HTC EVO 3D] sroach23:
it looks like ive found a phone. cant wait to see what its like to have working gps.
[HTC EVO 3D] EniGmA1987:
If by accurate you mean reading you as 3 streets over...
[HTC EVO 3D] d12bn:
not sure

I use mine with a running app Runkeeper. It was very good the first 2 times I used it showing 3.08 miles for a actual 3.1 mile distance. But yesterday is showed 5.37 miles for the same 3.1 route.

I hope it was just a glitch which happens depending on clouds but yesterday was clear.
[HTC EVO 3D] m03sizlak:
meh

Meh, it gets poor signal indoors. Outdoors, it's often off. To truly test the GPS, you need to disable WIFI, otherwise it will use the BSSID's of nearby wifi hotspots to show your location...

I noticed that on the OG Evo in Maps (Maps, not Navigate), it would usually snap-to-street while i was driving. Now it doesnt seem to, i could be doing 50 down a side street and the map shows me driving through people's back yards on that street...
[HTC EVO 3D] aronslusa:
I use mine for logging runs and workouts. I wasn't too impressed yesterday when Cardio Trainer logged only half of my run.

NS4G didn't do that, lol. You could see where it would pickup and drop some sort of signal, and it repeated it numerous times while walking.

Running, it seemed to hold signal decently.

::EDIT::

Went running and I think its a CardioTrainer issue, not GPS. The GPS is constantly updating it seems like, just with CT I had a setting (auto pause after 5 seconds of no running) and I don't know if because of picking up and dropping satellites or what, but it was in and out of that mode.

Disabled that option (no big deal to me if it doesn't auto pause), and had a CONSTANT lock for the rest of the run after I did so.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
I can get a cold lock inside within 10secs. Outside cold lock almost instantaneous. Gps rocks in this device.

[HTC EVO 3D] lilshell43:
It's really good and accurate. But, I never really use it so I can save some battery life.
[HTC EVO 3D] Costas86:
I've been blown away on it. Google Maps on my Palm Pre used to take over a minute to load, and in some cases wouldn't load at all. After it did, it wouldn't aquire a GPS signal. On the 3vo on the other hand, maps opens up within seconds and it also aquires a GPS signal right away. The arrow even moves around depending where the phone is pointed. Can't say I have any complaints. My favorite feature is being able to stream pandora music and telenav at the same time, and it actually fades out the music while GPS kicks in.
[HTC EVO 3D] WisdomWolf:
I've been having all sorts of trouble with GPS locks. It'll lock on fine to start, but within a few minutes of driving I'll get GPS signal lost and it'll take a long time to re-acquire. I wonder why. I may have to consider taking it for a repair/replacement if I'm the only one seeing issues. It reminds me a lot of how my 4G acted when I was using an earlier CM7 build so I attempted the ##GPSCLRX#, but that didn't seem to solve anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
I drove from Buffalo, NY to Summerville, SC and back last week (900+ miles) and my GPS was spot on the entire time. While in SC I used it to get everywhere and it was perfect.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Mine grabbed me within 5 meters. Spot On.
[HTC EVO 3D] slaakker:
I used Cardio Trainer also and it was very inaccurate. I watched the signal jump all over the place, it was terrible. I took it back to Sprint and they reluctantly swapped it out. I haven't tested it yet. Others, please test walking or running. I will be taking it back and going back to my EVO 4G if it is not fixed. My EVO 4G worked flawlessly.
[HTC EVO 3D] aaronb1980:
you can only test something like gps when your driving and have time to set it up, wait for lock, yadda yadda yadda...

on the three occasions that i have used it it consistantly dropped signal and was a PITA. as for gps... I prefer the 4g not the 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] masbirdies:
Strange...

My GPS has been working flawlessly since purchase. I play golf and use the Golf Card app and was very happy with the accurate results. However, today....the GPS was acting wacky. It was jumping all over as described above. I reset the GPS and that didn't fix it. After playing around with the phone for awhile, I finally got it to work as normal. Keeping an eye on this in case I need to get rid of this phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Biff Rosco:
My GPS has been about as temperamental as the OG Evo on CM7. It sometimes has trouble locking and often is fairly inaccurate (it seems to work better in Google maps than other apps). The OG Evo on sense was definitely better IMO.
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
The GPS is very inaccurate and jumps around constantly on Runkeeper. For example, see these runs:

http://runkeeper.com/user/rcrockett/activity/41894800

http://runkeeper.com/user/rcrockett/activity/41487967

Zoom in and you can see how it's jumping around all over the place. It makes it seem as though I am running faster and a longer distance. The first link is a 10k, but it reported it as 7.15 miles. I thought was kicking butt!

I have not taken any OTAs. I hope this is fixed sometime soon. I wonder why this hasn't been reported more.
[HTC EVO 3D] Civ2boss:
My EVO 4G was way better than the EVO 3D. And I have video to prove it!

The EVO 3D is running 1.13.651.7
[HTC EVO 3D] jhietter:
Mine has been wonky from the start but I got a new phone today so we'll see if this one does the same thing.

The Sat after the phone release (2 weeks ago) I drove for an hour and was only ever 30 minutes from downtown Columbus OH. During that hour, it lost the GPS signal at least 10 times.

Then I did a run with Runkeeper last Sunday and it tracked my 4.5 mile run as a 5.8 mile run.

I used this as an excuse to try a new phone so I'll report back once I get some results with the new one.
[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
I hope they fix this problem...
[HTC EVO 3D] MrGreg:
I assume everyone has "use wireless networks" disabled in the location settings? GPS has worked great for me, although I haven't used it that much...
[HTC EVO 3D] LearnIIBurn:
I don't think my GPS has locked once since I got my device.

I think it's where I live though that wrecks it. San Francisco is just too dense.

Either way, it works like terrible ass.
[HTC EVO 3D] aronslusa:
I don't think they have any intentions to fix it at all...

However... CardioTrainer did get back to me as well. Offered up some solutions... have yet to try them.
[HTC EVO 3D] grad20_09:
Mine seems inconsistent, but if i hold it up above my steering wheel, seems to get and keep a lock, i'm thinking a car dock would fix the intermittent signal issues...
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
The GPS is fairly ****ty
[HTC EVO 3D] vgupman:
My GPS has been excellent. Locks within seconds. Much faster than any previous phone GPS I've used.
[HTC EVO 3D] DZLRULZ:
It works awesome. I drove 1500 miles so far since the 1st of the month and never had it drop or show inaccurate results. Locks are quick too. I've been through MI, OH, KY, NC, SC through mountains etc. No issues.
