[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew1263:
I wish I could do it this easily, but I have multiple duplicates that I want to get rid of. I guess I could just do it in google contacts. Also, for some reason the .vcf file wouldn't work for me, but the .csv file from backup assistant worked.

I did this by slowly going through all my contacts and deleting the copies and then importing it to google contacts.

Thanks for both of your guy's help! It's much appreciated!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
I did the same thing. Went through and un-linked them, combined numbers under one contact where I needed to, etc. it wasn't fun but I only had to do it once. Life is much easier with out having some contacts on the phone and some online.
[Optimus 7 General] PaulMdx:
How is the battery in your Optimus 7?
[Optimus 7 General] Lpedraja2002:
I don't have an exact estimate but I guess around 10 to 12 hours of normal use. With heavy usage like using Gmaps drive mode on and playing games I get a lot less battery time, though I still haven't made a true test.

My previous cell phone, Samsung SGH-T459 lasted me for days, it was truly a marvel but it wans't as pretty to look at as my LG E900. Though it had many more basic functions than my LG E900 :mad:
[Optimus 7 General] PaulMdx:
Yeah sadly powerful phone != good battery life. Looks like you get basically the same as me. I bought 2 batteries and an external charger from Hong Kong for $15 though, so that should help.
[Optimus 7 General] zwwel:
My battery lasts for about a day and a half of normal use with UMTS and wifi on 100% of the time, with the odd game thrown in. I also have a Galaxy S2. The same use sees about 9 hours of battery life on it. I find the battery life of the E900 (with Mango beta) extraordinary for a smartphone and I'm very honestly thinking of selling my SGS2.
[Optimus 7 General] elektryk:
I see three types of scenario

normal day: no wifi, 6 hours of normal usage, plus 18 hours of laying in one place, and then it says "battery critical"

out of office day: 8 hours of moving in areas where are no GSM network in range (basements, garages, etc)

weekends: no wifi, laying in one place almost 2 days
[Optimus 7 General] kermit26:
My LG E-900 survives 2 business using the following settings:

- Regular 7392 software

- Connected to Deutsche Telekom (900 MHz)

- EDGE instead of UMTS

- No wifi

- No GPS

- Turning off data between 22:00 and 7:00 manually (i hate email notifications at night)

- E-Mail push for Active Sync account and 15 min pull for IMAP

- Daily Facebook sync

- Frequent reading of emails and writing about 5 mails per day on the phone as well

- About 30-45 min. phone calls per day (i have a fixed line in my office so it's not much)

Compared to my Samsung Galaxy S this is quit good, under the same conditions the Samsung asked for the charger during the 2nd day, the LG E900 has still about 25%-30% capacity at the end of day 2 (22:00).

As I use the LG E900 more and more my "old" HTC Legend is breaking standby records every week, about 7 days without charging. I don't use data or voice with it frequently, but it is connected to the UMTS network (O2 Germany offers GPRS and UMTS but EDGE only in very few areas). On my last cruise vacation the HTC Legend survived in standby connected to the GSM cell on the ship almost 10 days. Thus new cell phones still provide a good battery life in case you use them as regular phones, but who wants to do that? :)
[Optimus 7 General] markvale:
5 days is my record

1 or 2 short calls/day, a few texts/day.

Location services off except when (rarely) needed.

Wifi off except when (rarely) needed.

Email sync on demand only (3-4 times/day).

Check trains/tubes twice/day.

Don't use it at all for music/radio.

This results in 3-5 days life.
[Optimus 7 General] TheNineZero:
I'm getting about 1.5 to 2 days normally - a mixture of texting, tweeting and internet, as well as the occasional call, switching between WiFi and 3G throughout the day. Obviously hitting up the GPS or internet radio kills it (about 4 hours of Tune In Radio take it to flat from a full charge), but I'd have to say I'm pretty happy with it, even after being used to a Nokia.
[Optimus 7 General] gangstar:
hi...i just bought an e900 and my battery life is terrible with latest rom.

I have no signal at home (from 19:00 to 00:00 and beyond)and when to look for signal consumes more energy from what we know

Short battery time

I am having the same short battery issues you are describing and also the battery status indicator bug...

I made an experiment the other day. Fully discharged my phone and then recharged it to 100% at night. Turned data on (HSDPA 1900), wifi and location services were off, and activated battery saver mode. No app was open.

In the morning (7 hours after that) as soon as I woke up I checked the battery meter. It had 68% left!!! How could the phone lose 32% of its charge without doing anything but staying idle?
[Optimus 7 General] AlvinPhilemon:
This is a way I found to charge and use your phone when your phone goes off due to low battery. This has been tested on the LG Optimus 7, HTC 7 Trophy, Samsung Focus and HTC HD7 so this may work on other devices. (Unknown about the Samsung Taylor or LG Panther)

1. Make sure your phone is off due to low battery and can still switch on

2. Turn on your device on.

3. Wait 5 seconds after you see your OEM logo (e.g. SAMSUNG, LG, HTC), then plug in your charger. (If your device turns off before 5 seconds or cannot switch on at all, this will not work for you.)

4. You would see your OEM logo for a few seconds and your network provider logo (depends whether your device is OPEN or using a Carrier ROM) then you would see the animated Windows Phone logo and your SIM PIN or Wallpaper.

Troubleshooting:

If you feel a slight vibration or hear the "low battery" alert and the device goes off after the animated Windows Phone logo, you have either waited too long, charger is faulty or not turned on or your Windows Phone does not support this.

If your device turns off before 5 seconds or cannot switch on at all, this will not work for you because your battery is completely dead. Charge it properly for 8 hours.

Thanks,

AlivePhilemon

(NOTE: This works only for versions 7.0.7004, 7.0.7008, 7.0.7355, 7.0.7390 (NoDo), 7.0.7392, 7.0.7661 mojo, 7.0.7712 mojo, 7.0.7713, 7.0.7714 and 7.10.7720.68 (Mango) flawlessly. It does NOT work on 7003. DO NOT do this on 7003 as there seems to be a bug in the device firmware which MAY render the device unusable. 7003 users use this AT YOUR OWN RISK. I will not be responsible for any damage caused to your device when this trick is done)
[Optimus 7 General] sonus:
Have you unbranded your phone? Did you force the Mango update? If you did so, you might be missing the LG firmware update that's supposed to give longer battery life.

I had the same short battery life issue, and it went away after I rebranded my phone and got the 1.0.9.10 firmware for my e900h.
[Optimus 7 General] iliaspap82:
If I use only for calls, sms and mail (with wifi on all the time) probably 2 days, but if I play games,music, videos etc. only half day. If only there was a better battery available.
[Optimus 7 General] aptcore:
I haven't unbranded my phone, as it still displays Vodafone as the carrier and I got all the updates keeping it branded. I forced the mango update because my country only got marketplace support after that update (I live in Colombia) and I wanted to have a fully functioning phone and not have to wait a month or more for that. I did get a couple of LG updates, one after NoDo (If I remember well) and the tethering update too.

You suggest that those that forced the mango updated missed an LG update, are you sure about it, or just giving your thoughts? For what I've read I haven't found a pattern yet, as I'm not the only one with the feeling that battery is not lasting enough. Also, i think the 1.0.9.10 FW is for E900h only, I have only seen that FW in the posts related with phones from Canada.
[Optimus 7 General] sonus:
I'm sure of it for the e900h and I see no reason as to why this wouldn't apply to the e900.

I had abysmal battery life after forcing the Mango update, my phone could barely last a day.

Now, that I received the missing LG update that a forced Mango update skips, my battery life is much improved. While 1.0.9.10 is e900h specific, I am sure that you can check to see what firmware version others with the e900 have to see if you are missing a driver update.
[Optimus 7 General] marios.g:
Same here.
[Optimus 7 General] Gampanat:
Battery life on my LG Optimus 7....

Mine's like only 10-22 hours... But it should be more like 50h+ atleast when it's in standby mode but it isnt.

The question will be if it is worth to buy a new battery to check if it can last longer?
[Optimus 7 General] aptcore:
What I know so far is that the latest firmware is 1.0.16.10 (thetering update), which is what I got. There's no way to see a log of the firmware updates that have been applied, right?
[Optimus 7 General] timmes:
Battery life is not the best but:

turning off

3G

Bluetooth

location

set mail syn to manual

I can work 2 days now

I am stunned that no one has any info about this. What software/tools are people and companies using to unlock phones? Somebody has to know. What a sad world where everything is for profit and no one cares about sharing knowledge or information. Any hackers around that have principles and believe in freedom of information? How do these companies get the unlock codes? :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
Let me guess. You joined XDA because you want to unlock your device for free, rather than actually having to spend a few dollars to someone else, or paying a few dollars to your mobile network?

Simple truth of life - if there is money to be made, people will make money.

With modern devices it's not as simple as it used to be. It used to be that with a lot of the devices there was a simple algorithm to generate the unlock code, hence you could find software online that would give you a code for free. Now it's not that simple, or the software would have been written and still exist.
[General Questions and Answers] Bishal Pranto Roy:
Reality XDA isn't for these man

[General Questions and Answers] xynobis:
Dude, I could care less about money. I joined XDA for my own reasons--assume what you want and see how much I care.

I would gladly pay for software/tools that are used to get unlock codes. I just don't want to have to pay someone or some entity for an unlock code. I want to know how they get the unlock codes. Isn't anyone else curious at least? Anyone know anything?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] trexxcrap2:
Thank you to all the wonderful people of xda.

I hated my optimus v out of the box, it had horrible battery life, horrible reception, horrible speeds. After research and lots of reading i was able to get CWM + AOSP Cm7 on it, update the prl to the latest, do the 3g reset thingy and now i have a phone i love. i can leave it all night not charging and only lose a couple of percent, use it during the day and have it last all day and beyond and the 3g doesn't drop anymore and get full strength where i was getting 1 bar. THANKS GUYS! YOUR THE BEST!

Looks like I'm actually gonna do something for the community now! *Background clapping* I am currently able to make splash screens and test them until the 30th of July. Throw me a pic, and I'll try to make it look the best I can. And I mean splash screens, not boot animations. I am still working on learning that one.

Instructions to flash the creations:

Make sure the file name is splash1.img

Put device into bootloader, then fastboot. ADB reboot bootloader will automatically put it into fastboot.

Make sure the splash1.img is currently where your adb is directed.

Command is as follows: fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
