I believe he meant the rest of the post was outdated and to use revolutionary.io as of August 14th.

The old method will still work. It just does not give you the opportunity to save your apps and data like revo will.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] danz8509:
can we specify what exactly that is ,like how are people on here getting 10 to 12 hrs heavy use? i call Bu**sh!t on that! the most i can get is like 4 to 5 hrs heavy use, can ppl tell me what heavy use is to them?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
I also get 4-5hrs on heavy use.

Mine has data, wifi on all the time. I use 40mins-1.5hrs waze with gps. Ym, fring, oovoo, vtok, skype ON. Fb and twitter on 15mins auto update. 5 emails on 15mins auto refresh. Yahoo mail and gmail on sync all the time. 20-30text/pic msgs. 30-1hr call. And many others.

That's what I call mine as heavy. How about the others?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
light usage. = only use when needing to call, text, use browser for a sec. all periodically throughout the day, not too much and not too long. Just a normal usage basically of a cell.

Moderate. = this is where about every half hour you turn it on, check a few things, listen to music, play a game, watch youtube, then turn it off again only for like a half hour, and proceed with the cycle over again.

Heavy usage. = that damn screen dont go off, and if it does its still playing music in the background and you need to turn it on. Games non stop, youtube vids non stop, browser non stop. Etc.

thats my definition.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] danz8509:
ya 4 to 5 is what i get with 4g on i got skype slingplayer and ebuddy on constantly checking fb texting and maybe like a hr of call i dont have any sync on tho no gps
[T-Mobile LG G2x] danz8509:
so what is your heavy usage material smashpunks?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Moderate to me is how I use my phone when at work. I send 2 or 3 texts per hour. Make one or two short phone calls. Browse a few websites and check xda a couple times.

Heavy for me is what I do when I'm not at work. My phone is on CONSTANTLY. Texting, browsing, YouTube, email, Facebook, Google+, etc. With heavy usage I get about 5-ish hours with stock battery. But that's why I got this:

It looks kinda ugly but after 22 hours of my normal usage I still have 63% battery left. I hate having to worry about how heavily I'm using my phone or having to keep a charger around. This way I'm good to go no matter what.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] danz8509:
i should get my 3500 mah battery mon if it gives me 8hrs heavy usage i will be happy!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
With the 4500mah one I just had a run of 64 hours off the charger and there was still 10% left when I plugged it in. This was with my normal moderate to heavy usage. I'm dumbfounded! This makes any "ugliness" of the case TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE!!!! Haha!

I unplugged my phone Sunday morning at 6am and didn't plug it back in until last night (Tuesday) at 10pm. Sweet!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsapp:
Nice. With my 4500, I am usually under 25% when I leave work, but I don't have to be constantly plugged in. I think that has been easier on the phone as I don't overheat anymore.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uppon2:
I recently installed words with friends and have noticed a major drain on my battery caused by it slamming my cpu and RAM. All it is, is a scrabble type of game but continues to BASH my phone in the background. I have never experienced such drain from any game let alone a game that is not very graphic based. Something strange is happening here.

Has anybody else had the same issue? I don't remember it draining my battery as bad on my SGS 1.......

If your a root user try underclocking to 800 and see if its still bad.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -John-:
Same thing happens to me. My phone gets so hot and my battery drains like crazy whenever I play the game. I wish the Developers would fix it, cause I love playing this game!

I use task killers (e.g., Advance Task Killer) to autokill the app when the phone is off, because sometimes the app still runs in the background. And whenever I turn my phone back on my battery is almost dead.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hycian:
It's the problem with the app itself and until they fix the problem I'm keeping it away from my Android phone, that's lame.

Words is just a pain but my ios friends play it ...

What I do with mine is have a rooted phone and have tasker and have to cripple the phone to 500mhz max so it's still playable, just not speedy or it'll sit at 1000mhz looking at the game board but the waiting for moves screen can sit at 200mhz displaying ads

profile is words

entry

1. notify, "words running"

2. notify cancel, "words running"

3. cpu, gov powersave 500-500mhz

4. wait, 1second until %cpufreq < 510000

5. if, %cpufreq > 500000

6. goto 3

7. endif

8. cpu, gov conservative 200-500mhz

9. if, cpu > 500000

10. cpu powersave 500-500

11. endif

12. notify if %cpufreq < 510000, "throttled - max 500" with a icon of a hippo :)

exit

1. cpu gov, on demand 200-1200

2. notify cancel "throttled - max 500"

i also have a shortcut to task that launches words, just sets the gov to conservative 200-500 and loads words, the cpu freq won't stay at your max if it's already over the maximum

it loses smooth scrolling around the game board but uses half or less of the battery it did just running as is. when words isn't in the foreground it'll go back to whatever you set it to
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcorrie1121:
Found this searching for my own issue. Just killing the app after closing it didn't help enough because it would still drain while I had it open.

Using the AT&T version I get the same issue. WordFeud's footprint is literally non-existant so I would suggest moving to that app. It's on iOS too.

Hey everyone. I'm a very active user in the fascinate community, as well as on irc.

Due to the bug issues...I accepted. Replacement dinc2! I'm very excited to join your community and break away from Samsung.

I will begin reading, as I have 5 days till fedex brings dinc.

What us tis I hear that ota gingerbread locks the phone? Where do I begin?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
If it comes with the OTA GB update already you cannott software root with AlpharevX, you MUST use an XTC clip. it's been beat to death but that'd how the dice rolls, hopefully you are still on froyo so you can root, just don't accpet the OTA
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ExNight:
Your replacement will have GB on it. I also came from the fascinate community and they over nighted me the dinc 2 and has GB Preinstallated... Brand new phone, not refurbished. With the older bootloader being exploited already and it not changing from the the upgrade to GB, I'm sure we will only need a new software exploit to update alpharevx to s-off and root.

[Thunderbolt General] Sub-Standard:
I wanted to learn the manual ADB method suggested by JCASE in the developemen forum, however i've had trouble understanding, seting up, & using ADB.

I have rooted two two htc eris phones before with JCASE's simple one click root method, so that doesn't realy count. I also roote my Moto Droid, but that was a file that was downloadable by the phone it's self, so that was pretty simple also.

The thunderbolt root seems a little more complicated for my knowledge level, so I've decided to go about it using a youtube tutorial called How To: Root A HTC Thunderbolt ( Easiest Tutorial / Step by step .

this method envolves a program called TB-Auto-Root. I attempted to download it to the PC using slow DSL connection, but it said expected download time is over 8 hours. I followed the same link to my phone and it is at 12% in less than 30min. Can't i Just download it it my phone then copy it to my pc? If so, do I need to copy it directly to the C\ drive, or does it matter?

Thanks in advance, ~Dave
[Thunderbolt General] akanatrix:
First of all, don't use easy roots. If you insist on it, then yes you can download on your phone then transfer it to the PC. Check the MD5 to ensure the file is good. As far as where to put it, I am sure the tutorial should tell you.
[Thunderbolt General] admiralspark:
You should YouTube a video called "thunderbolt adb setup" or something. Set up the Google driver, fix the config file so it works with the thunderbolt (google adb thunderbolt and its one of the first links). The rooting software shouldn't take that long to download, even on slow dsl...

[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
I replied to the other thread but if you insist on using the auto root I can only say this:

The auto root script does EXACTLY what is described in JCase's root sticky. It just automates the process so less user interaction is required. (i.e. It types in the commands for you) That is what it has to do with adb.

Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
it might...but automation is prone to unforeseen errors, which is why no one recommends it
[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
Which is the reason the only advice I had was to tell him what the auto root has to do with adb.

Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] TheLoonyRebel:
Exactly. I did the rooting (and eventually unrooting) manually by simply copying and pasting the commands from the tutorial jcase wrote up into ADB. Process of rooting took me roughly I'd say 25 minutes but honestly its not that hard. Just follow the steps and you'll be just fine.

Oh and unrooting took me all of four minutes to do lol.
[Thunderbolt General] Dork6243:
Search YouTube for "HTC Thunderbolt root". Find the tutorial by Nat3Mil, explains step by step starting with how to set up adb all the way to installing the custom recovery image. Don't get overwhelmed just take your time. Probably takes about 45 minutes give or take. He did a handful of videos including flashing roms, radios, and kernels. See you on the other side my friend...
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
how are we to know what is wrong when you are using a tutorial posted on youtube as your guide?

Most of us used jcase tutorial to root. Really, it is very simple to do. You probably don't have the files in the right spot on your pc, or you don't have adb in the right spot.
[Thunderbolt General] oxidant11:
Wow ok aside from the pricks that are not helping...make sure your phone is in charge only, debug is checked, and make sure you have the HTC drivers installed on your PC, if you downloaded the file onto your phone I'm assuming you didn't install the drivers and that what's probably wrong. Here's the link if ya need it, also make sure you haven't done the latest update if you did its not going to work.

[Thunderbolt General] joshnichols189:
They're not bashing the guy.. you're a prick for saying that. OP, if you look in the Thunderbolt help and info thread in the Dev section, there is a llink to a thread that has an ADB auto installer and set up guide :)
[Thunderbolt General] ScoobarSTI:
Dont know if you know this but you have use the rear usb ports on the pc or the program doesnt read it also need the htc sync drivers
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
That might be the case with your pc, but usb port has never mattered on my desktop pc, laptop or from within a virtual machine. Perhaps if you attach to some sort of weird device usb like a monitor's usb ports it might.

I would advice the OP to read the tutorial in the development section that's stickied and as a fallback for more information, find a youtube video that explains the same process. I don't know of any links offhand, but I'm sure a 2minute search or less will make a couple show up that do basically what you see in the tutorial sticky thread. However, I would not use the youtube videos alone.
[Thunderbolt General] cstrife999:
Not true on my PC. Sounds like your front ones are messed up. In response to the OP simply watch a youtube video. You are really going to want to learn ADB instead of using one of the auto-rooters. You will still need an ADB connection either way as it is just automated.
[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
Nobody was trying to be a jerk, but there are 19 different auto root scripts that all have a pretty high possibility of failing at a random point. Leaving you with no clue which step things went wrong at. This makes it really hard to offer any help aside from telling them it is a much better idea to do it the "long" way.

So OP I apologize if you took what I said as being rude. It was not my intention. I was trying to answer what I could without giving bad advice about the problem with the auto script.

Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] razor2006:
I agree with most everyone else's answers. Don't be afraid to follow the standard method jcase laid out. It's not hard, there's little margin for error so long as you follow the instructions, and it never hurts to learn a little adb knowledge. I came from a DINC, and I never used adb before (I rooted the DINC with unrevoked). It's simple. Getting the proper drivers installed is probably the hardest part for someone not experienced in this department, but even so, still really simple.

I'd avoid the 1 click root's. Like mentioned previously, basically all they are is a batch script that runs the same exact commands you'd be copying and pasting yourself if you followed the jcase tutorial. Given that, there's margin for error as you have no control over it unless you modify the script yourself. You're much better off to listen to most people's advice here and just follow the jcase method.
[Thunderbolt General] ScoobarSTI:
No with that program it needs to be the rear usb ports i dont know why its that way but thats how it is. Research it. All my usb ports are in perfect working condition. But for what ever reason you will get that error if you use the front ports.
[Thunderbolt General] admiralspark:
This is completely unhelpful, he said he has issues with adb so I told him to look up a video about setting up adb, and then he could follow the rest of the writeup to actually root afterwards. In fact, it looks like YOU didn't read MY post :-P :rollseyes:

Not true, I linked a working guide in the other thread you posted in...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2355688

Exploits that allow root and s-off are generally patched in official updates to locked down devices. As the user and developer pool for this phone has decreased over time due to the release of newer devices, frustration over the delay for ICS, etc., there are increasingly fewer people to find exploits, develop ROMs, write guides, etc. That will be the case for all OEM devices eventually.

3)stick in battery
