lol, I appreciate the gesture. I work wednesdays through saturday 10+ hour shifts, so generally not around too much on those days, but since I've been more proactive in the community, I keep my xda app handy when my evo isn't busy telling me where my next stop is. Anyway, good luck and by all means let us know how it works out.

@Watcher07, you're alright, my friend.... :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinsin:
Well, looks like it worked...thanks guys. Did a triple wipe on everything and it all looks good.

I don't know if I should start a new thread on this, but I just saw that Spare Parts got carried over even after wiping and flashing. I don't use it often and the battery history button FCs on me. So I tried to uninstall it via Market and Manage Apps and it doesn't have the option to uninstall anywhere! So I have a supposedly installed app that won't let me uninstall it...wtf?

Make a new thread or can anyone assist with this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Spare Parts comes pre-installed on several custom roms so I doubt that it was carried over after a wipe, my friend, but i could be wrong. Still, I'm glad you got everything all taken care of. As for removing it, you will have to maneuver to the system/app folder via ADB or a system level file manager like Root Explorer to delete it or anything else you don't want.

Posting & replying from my EVO 4G
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twinsin:
Yeah, it must be bundled into Synergy (don't see that on myn's feature list). I went into Root Explorer and only thing in there was the Spare Parts installer, so I just left it and guess I'll deal with it.

Consider this thread resolved. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watcher07:
+1 to this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
That file is safe to remove. If you'd like, you can 'freeze' it with Titanium Backup.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
I think I've figured out what's killing my battery and wanted to post this for others. I've tried several roms and multiple batteries, but kept losing 14% or more per hour.

I downloaded Battery Widget Manager from the market to take a look at the mA consumption over time. Here's what I noticed, my phone is/was consuming too much power even when idle. With the screen off and 4g on, the mA rating was regularly in the 350-475 range. My friend has a Charge and I downloaded the same widget on his phone, in the same environment, and his idle mA was between 35 and 150! He's easily getting 18 hours out of his phone, and I'm lucky to get 7.

So here's the strange part, I downloaded a new rom and the pbj kernel, and for the first day, my mA always stayed between 35 and 150 when the phone was idle. Accordingly, I got amazing battery life of around 18 hours with 4g on.

This morning, however, my phone won't go below 450 mA in an idle state, despite being in the same environment. I've restarted and even turned off mobile networks. My battery is dying at about 16% an hour.

I'd like to see if others are having the same problem with their phones. To test this, download the battery monitor widget and track the mA usage using the log feature.

Curious if someone can diagnose why my phone suddenly won't go below the 450 mA mark.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
I would make a backup and do a factory reset/ data wipe. Don't install any apps and see if the mA comes down. If you are still seeing high mA either reflash rome and kernel, or flash one of the stock roms. If it is still high, take it back and ask for a new one.

If the factory reset corrects the problem, start adding apps back one at a time to see which ones are contributing to your high drain.

Just what I would do, maybe someone else has a better idea.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
What's strange is I've already been on several different ROMS, including stock. When I first flashed this ROM about 2 days ago, the mA was completely normal, but today, it has spiked again and consistently stays too high. I've tried a different battery, killed every single app running, but to no avail.

Why does each ROM start off fine and then have a problem a day or two later? Conversely, if the hardware is the real problem, why doesn't the current spike ALWAYS happen?

I would've guessed an app is affecting it, just like you said, but I used a task killer to turn them all off, and the mA stayed too high. Additionally, I used Spare Parts to see what was eating CPU and Network and nothing was standing out. Isn't that odd?

I bought the phone on Ebay, would I still be able to bring it back to a Verzion store and get a replacement since I'm not the first owner. I'm not convinced there's something wrong with the phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
What does your phone say is actually using most of your battery? (Settings->About Phone->Battery Use)

And what's your "Time without signal?" (In Battery Use, hit "Cell standby")

Also, task killers don't work on Froyo or above like they did on Eclair -- tasks just restart themselves in the background automatically if they're closed now. The only way to permanently stop something from backgrounding is to uninstall it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
Display is the biggest user of battery @ 93%

Time without signal isn't available because I just unplugged my phone...

But even after just restarting I've dropped 7% of my battery in 10 minutes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bgorrell:
I experienced an identical situation until today. Guess what fixed it? Removing Battery Monitor Widget! Seriously. Check CPU Spy. You'll see it never goes into deep sleep if you let Battery Monitor Widget run in the background or put its widget on your screen. Deleted the widget and CPU Spy immediately started logging deep sleep time. You can still use the monitor to check up on live stats, just don't let it run in the background or install the widget.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
I've been running the phone with Battery Monitor Widget for two days without any issue. Don't think that's the problem or I'd have experienced this immediately after installing it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
Also, I understand how to delete the widget, but how do you ensure it's not running the background?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
I tested this twice and both times I experienced a big battery drain after installing battery monitor widget.......went away once I uninstalled it
[Verizon Droid Charge] bgorrell:
In the settings menu for battery monitor widget, ensure "monitoring without widget" is not checked. Then, when you are done with the app, use the back button to exit. It will tell you to press back again to stop monitoring. If it doesn't say this, it keeps running in the background.

You wouldn't know it is preventing deep sleep BTW unless you check it with CPU Spy (available in the market). I don't know if you are familiar with it, but it shows what percentage of time the CPU is spening at each speed. Deep sleep is the lowest state. If this state isn't used, the only symptom will be the battery drain.

You can easily confirm the issue by checking CPU spy with and without battery monitor widget running. Reset CPU Spy timers before each test. Deep sleep time should be logged after you lock your device for a minute or so.
[Verizon Droid Charge] psalm462:
I am have the same problem. I will see one day that will be great, and the next day I will have around 7 hours. I am running debloated EE4, but I have not tried to calibrate te batteries either.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
So indeed, it was the battery monitor widget running in the background that was eating battery. But now that I've fixed that, there's something else eating my battery. In Spare Parts, it says that Dialer is the largest user of my network. I've talked on the phone for a grand total of 15 minutes today, so why is dialer eating up so much data? Of course, the huge data consumption is draining my battery quickly. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Charge] BeefJerky9:
Yes, my phone says that too, and it always has. My battery life is fantastic, so that is clearly not an issue for me. I really believe that your issue lies elsewhere.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
But how can this make any sense? Why would Dialer be using mass amounts of data? Logically, if it's consuming data when I'm not making calls then it's draining power to use this data.

Can anyone else explain the Dialer is doing this?
[Verizon Droid Charge] BeefJerky9:
Just how much data does it say it is using? Just because its at the top of the list doesn't necessarily mean it's consuming a large amount of data.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
My phone has been unplugged for 5 hours and I've made zero calls, but dialer states I've received 10 mb of data.

In comparison, the next highest network usage belongs to Touchdown. I've received almost 40 emails and it's only used 1 mb. How can dialer NOT be a problem?
[Verizon Droid Charge] bgorrell:
That doesn't seem right. you may want to reboot and see if the behavior goes away.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AndroidCraig:
I am in the same situation. My dialer is also using the most network resources. I use Go Dialer. I wonder if that could be the cause. I'll delete it and see if it makes a difference.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BeefJerky9:
Yes, my phone did that when it was stock, as well as now that it is rooted. It is normal, and nothing to worry about. I will repeat again: you are barking up the wrong tree; the dialer data usage is not the cause of your bad battery life. However, if you'd like to continue trying to figure out this non-issue, be my guest.
[Verizon Droid Charge] glsteve:
My drainage is deep sleep its 50% any fixes?

Edit:

I take that back it just jumped to 60%.

Is there somebody that can post some themes for minicm6 1.02 froyo 2.2
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] allen400:
Hi Everyone!

I'm very intresting what ROM is the best.

Please write the name in the comments of the ROM

Tell me what you think!:)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
Best ROM for me is cyanocomb 1.4

D4rKnYsSys has done a fabulous job, its by far the best one I've tried as its fast and has good battery life. So far the only crashes have been whilst surfing the web for a couple of hours straight. Everything seems stable and all hardware is working good (GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi and Camera).

Until someone comes up with a fully functioning gingerbread (I.e. camera) then I'm sticking with cyanocomb... and as soon as D4rKnYsSys comes up with his gingerbread I'll get that. In fact, i'd probably wait for it.

D4rKnYsSys, slade87 and Orwain have been the most wonderful developers so not too fussed about roms from anyone else.

(Sent from u20i using D4rKnYsSys/Slade87 Cyanocomb + tapatalk)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jason2005:
Hi, yes I like cyanocomb 1.4, it's a very good rom! andread v9f is good also, very stable

on my mini pro

regards
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] me2freedom:
The best ROM's include:

GingerDX

and

MiniCM7 v4

Because they're:

-superfast, I got score of out of screen with MiniCM7 v4;

-superlight, there's no bugging **** included;

-superstable, they (almost) never reboot;

-having fully working high-res camera, 5MP;

-having GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi etc fully working;

-having Dual-touch fully working;

-having a great batterylife, mine was at 6% while a few hours later only 1 percent dropped;

-having a nice layout design.

Good enough? :D

;;Ofcourse there are more, I just took these just for a quick view.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] allen400:
Yoe your right but i posted new theard becouse i cant decide :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lunwolf:
For me the best is froyocomb 1.4 if you want a froyo rom(Fast,stable and no problem of battery drain ecc) . If you want a gingerbread rom i've tried the MiniCm7 made by paul-xxx and works fine :) In the MiniCm7 you can modify the app's permission and that is a great thing :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pfonck:
just curious... Why do you prefer froyocomb 1.4 over 1.6?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ebenezum:
I agree both ROMs are starting to beat 2.2, but there have still some smaller bugs.

But I cannot agree with battery life - it's draining faster for me than on 2.2 ROMs.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] suchevent:
yes, some minor issues to be sorted out still with the 2.3 roms.

in terms of battery life, for me, 2.2 seems to be better than 2.3 (i performed battery calibration with both). although 2.3 is significantly faster/smoother than 2.2, its battery life seems to be suffering because of this.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] alx123:
For my the best is GingerDX because it's the fastest one and has more features than 2.2/Froyobread.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ebenezum:
Should be because of that - it's true 2.3 is incredibly fast and smooth!

On the other hand I have a personal feeling that even undervolting doesn't help - and I don't know why.

But anyway now I'm in battery calibration process (for GingerDX 006) so let's see what will be result ;-)
[G Tablet General] MechAniX.one:
Ive been seeing in the General Android Development forum a couple of memory scripts or apps. They supposedly make android much snappier. Do any of the HC ROMs use these to manage memory or would I have to install them myself? I would assume that the ROMs memory settings would have already been tweaked to get the most out of the GTab.
[Desire Themes and Apps] MarcusBremen:

edit: link reseted
[Desire Themes and Apps] xybadog:
??? It's a blank page!
[Desire Themes and Apps] ckempo:
As there's no link, this is what I do (in CM 7.1):

Add your own number to your phone book, set your picture and fill in whatever info you want. Make sure you populate your mobile number in the international format (.e.g mine reads +447987987654)

Settings>Call Settings>Scroll to "Other Call Settings>Additional Settings

Hit "My Phone Number"

Make sure your phone number is in there, again in the international format.

In CM7, for some reason this value is not being retrieved from my SIM, so I need to add it here each time my phone is rebooted. Same for my Wife's Defy too.

Back before I had rooted and was on stock, it's even easier; simply set your Google Profile picture and it is shown on the phone automatically.

Maybe this will help someone.
[Desire Themes and Apps] bmdixon:
If you're not on CM then take a look here.
[Desire Themes and Apps] tsch:
Thanks, that was excellent. I didn't know where this setting was burried in the CM7 extensive settings dialogs.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
Hi everyone.

Is it just me? I think this GB update is great. The phone is much faster, much more responsive, doesnt lock up, no wifi issues. Everything is great. I did like the older camera better but i mean comeon why are so many people's main complaint the camera lol.

Im sure we will be seeing more small updates as bugs are discovered just like in any software but all in all im happy with this update, im happy with this phone and I still love it as I did before :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zaventh:
It's definitely a zillion times better than the stock ROM, but that's pretty easy to accomplish when your starting reference is absolute rock bottom worthless garbage. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skye206:
my phone is a lot faster and my battery life is great camera sucks but not a big deal I guess.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jabhome:
Stock rom

Funny thing is my stock rom with Faux OC/UV when set at 1.0 ghz actually is snappier than the tooted Gingerbread OTA with all bloat removed. On Froyo when I would hit the home button over and over it woulp flip from Homescreen to Sense Preview instantly, blazing fast. When I do the same, with the identical ADW set-up the Sense preview lags. I seem to have more bugs with GB than my last Froyo setup.

Another annoyance, when the phone is asleep, when I hit power the display lights up immediately, but before I can get to the Widget Locker slider the display goes dark again. This never happened with Froyo.

Lastly, when in a call with phone to my ear with Froyo if I move the phone from my ear the dialpad woudl appear as if it was using one of accelerometer (or whatever device) to track my movement. On GB the display stays dark. If I hit power to access the dial pad, i.e. to hit an extension, the display again lights, but goes dark before I can hit the numbers.

This is all after a flashing stock froyo, unrooting and installing via the LG updater (which was an adventure as it took forever). After updating reinstalled CWM and flashed Xboarders 1.0 Rooted OTA).

Honestly, if the new baseband works with Froyo, and if someone tells me restoring my pre-GB Nandroid will let me retain the baseband I may just go back as things were really nice in my Froyo set-up.

I know many folks are loving GB, other it is hell, mine is not bad at all, but weird thing is my Froyo experience was actually better. If I can get the baseband on Froyo and the GPS locks with Froyo like it is now I will stick with Froyo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JediFonger:
cant we install a better camera-app?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] propain4444:
No, it's not just you. I love the update and i'm quite happy with my phone.

And unlike everyone else posting on this thread, i'm not going to throw in some negative jab at the end either.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] randyschwimmer7:
Could not agree more. I am super happy with the phone. Extremely responsive and I like the little changes in the looks as well. I also am happy with the darker keyboard.

All around I am happy I kept the phone. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nextgin:
My main gripe is that they were supposedly working on this update for a couple of months. So I just don't understand why the finished product doesn't have the LG Camera app. If this came out back in May, then I'd understand. If this OTA fixes the major software issues, then I'm fine. I do hope we actually get the Ice cream update next year though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gjvah:
I love the update so far. Snappy, GPS locks instantly, I got to keep all my apps settings and data, and everything works great until now. I was rooted on Eagles's Blood GB, and just updated straight forward, no downgrading, no unrooting. (i did loose root, but hey, they'll crack this baby soon enough)

Too funny, rooted.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] grenademasta:
Well its not working for me. My phone is freezing a few times a day since the update. I had reboots before the update but never a freeze. I went into my local Tmobile store to check out the Sensation and the My touch 4G slide. The guy working there was shaking his head when I told him I was having these problems even with Gingerbread and he pulls his phone out of his pocket and its a G2X. He says he gets the same thing LOL! My GPS as gone from 3 mins lock to 5 mins to a lock after the update. I have a full upgrade credit but think I will wait for the Hercules in Sept.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nightf0x:
I like the update. Works well for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bsmith1051:
It doesn't sound like you're running the stock GB? Also, it sounds like your proximity sensor isn't working, i.e., the phone always thinks your face is up against the phone and immediately turns-off the screen to avoid cheek dialing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheBigSaxon:
I'm digging the gb update and the new go launcher together. I think the screen looks alot better too. It just seems sharper and more vivid. My wife has the Samsung Exhibit and that is a really nice phone and comparing the two screens together is no competition. The g2x screen is so sharp it looks fake.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
No I love it too, people are whiners...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
BTW... Just wanted to add I am now 12 Hours off the charger and have 12% battery left. That never happened on Froyo, I was out after like 7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jabhome:
Like I said, I am running Xboarders OTA 1.0, which is rooted GB OTA.

I actually called LG about it and they had me do a factory reset and things have actually picked up nicely. Had to reinstall everything from TB. Still not happy with GPS as I am not getting instant locks like some, it is better, but still not as quick as I woudl like.

The battery drains quicker than on my Froyo, but I was using Faux UV with DS Driver which probably explains a lot with the battery.

Overall I am OK with update, but my Froyo set-up was so nice I may return. I actually never logged one complaint about the G2X pre-update as I was a lucky one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adevilfish:
Then what you clearly have is bad restores

This incidentally is what makes it difficult to wander through rom threads and weed out the real problems from self induced
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluedart:
Much better wifi and better battery are reasons alone why I'm thrilled with this update. The camera is meh, but I'll live.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
This update is great, I agree. Especially for the people who had all those problems under froyo.

But this update is not so great for those people who had no problems under froyo, but then lost the LG camera ability. For me, the GB update disabled the camera flash. I'm not aware if there's any workaround but it is not acceptable for out-of-the-box user experience. I did a lot of factory resets, still no use.

Now somebody porting LG camera apk to GB update which solved my problem.

Conclusion: LG is unable to provide satisfactory software support to its new products and I do not think anyone dare to disagree against this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
That is very strange. For me, the main redeeming feature of the Gingerbread camera is that it does much better with flash than the Froyo camera did. The Froyo camera always overexposed items near the camera, while the Gingerbread camera correctly adjusts the brightness and shutter speed to make very nice flash photos, in my limited experience.

I wonder what is different about your phone that causes the flash not to work at all?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 96traxx:
I agree, the update is good, but I've been on stock from day one w/o problems so this like new to me all over again, lol. I'm currently using the Go Launcher, what other launchers are you guys running over GB?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] namklak:
Hot lockups, etc

This was stated above "This update is great, I agree. Especially for the people who had all those problems under froyo". I have yet to see a post where someone's problems (like my two G2x's have the "get hot then lock up" problem or the random re-boot) go away with GB. Anyone have instability cured with GB? Anyone NOT have instability cured with GB?

Thanks

I'm loving it. I was running CM7 before and while the feature list was great, I had tons of incompatibility problems with various games and apps. Not a knock on CM7 by any means, it's a great release...but this suits my needs better right now. I'm also finding the whole thing a ton snappier and faster.
