From the market comments, Maps 5.8 does have some sort of battery life impact, but I had it before the issue started and didn't notice.

I wonder if Bell is upgrading towers with this channel bonding feature for higher data speeds also? From the TMo forums it would be an issue for nearly all recent HTC phones that weren't specifically designed for HSPA+ 14mbps+ speeds (like the new Sensation from what I hear isn't having problems, but the MyTouch4G, 3G and Slide, along with Nexus One and others like the G2 do).
[G2 and Desire Z General] silverton:
I have noticed lately that Maps is near constantly running in the battery stats list. Hopefully they fix it soon!
[G2 and Desire Z General] chewy106:
It's not Maps causing this problem (though Maps 5.8 it seems is causing some lag/higher battery usage for some users). I've reinstalled Maps 5.8, switched to 2G data only and already running over 16 hours with normal usage (switching to WiFi for some higher data usage browsing/downloading and watching some videos, otherwise using EDGE for emails and quick google searches, plus 4 phone calls and numerous texts and some Words with Friends - all background/GPS/sync data is turned on as well) and the battery is at 52% right now. Yesterday with 3G data turned on and Maps uninstalled the phone went from 100% to dead in 6h37m while sitting unused on a table. It's a network issue, at least for the majority of TMo users experiencing it.

I just turned off 3G/4G and opened alogcat.

The amount of log activity dropped like a rock.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Debogo:
Unfortunately it seems to be an issue that most G2 and other HTC phones that use the 3g/HSPA+ network in certain areas.

I am also having the battery drain problem where I was only getting less then 6 hours of standby time till my phone was dead.

Switched to 2g only mode today and still sitting at 100% with 2 hours off the charger a few quick calls and some txts and a little web browsing with wifi

Check the tmobile g2 support forums. I would link but don't have enough posts yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] theTwiz:
I've been having battery issues the past couple of days, too. I frequently bounce between MIUI and one of the Sense roms, so I thought it might be an issue with the latest MIUI build, but after looking at my battery stats and seeing the awake bar solid for 6 hours straight I realized something else was going on.

I have a G2, but both of my parents' phones have been experiencing battery issues the past couple of days as well. Mom has a myTouch 3g (the one that slides) and my Dad has a Sensation.

I had them use the *#*#4636#*#* menu to switch to GSM only, and they're supposed to let me know if that helps batterly life at the end of today.

I'm staying on WCDMA preferred, but connecting to my work wifi has resulted in a substantial decrease in battery drain.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AgDon:
I have 2 G2's also and have been having the same problem in the Houston area. Been following the conversation on multiple boards, hopefully it will get fixed soon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ScottyDont81:
Same problem herr in Portland Oregon, was getting wake lock for the first time ever	on my g2. 2g speed here I come, BOOO
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
Having issue here, but then again I got the 3600mah mugen. I drain like 40% in an entire day
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperDave81:
Tried keeping my phone in 2G only mode today while not using my phone and enabling 3G/4G only when using my phone during breaks, lunch, and commuting. Battery life doubled, thanks for the tips, now to find a quick enable/disable widget!
[G2 and Desire Z General] pawel_podgorski:

- superwipe and reflash rom

- libril matcher

- battery calibration

Try tomorow. 2g/3g switching
[G2 and Desire Z General] heybobitsme:
It appears to be a network problem and T-Mobile is working on it. Check out the Android And Me post: http://androidandme.com/2011/08/news/is-t-mobiles-network-killing-your-battery/

And I also have excessive battery while on 3g or hspa. On edge or wifi it's excellent.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stoerner:
how can I do this ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] bitter1:
As everyone has mentioned in the other posts, setting it to Edge (2G) saves my battery. I do this while at work so I can use Waze to/from work to get through heinous traffic, but otherwise I lose 25% of my battery just going to work in the morning.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pawel_podgorski:
After switching to 2G

So I change from hspa to edge and it is big diffrient. Same work same time same everithing and yesterday 0% today 90% left. It is a joke. You have pay for hspa and can't get it without a car batery not couting portable ac to cool down a phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sanchezkk:
I updated my G2 with a leaked copy of Gingerbread 2.3 and my battery has actually kept a better charge. Let me know if anyone has any questions. I'm a noob too btw.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jose.santiago25:
I have a mytouch 3g slide with android 2.2.1. The battery only last 4h 35m. it all started when i updated all the apps (including the android market). Reset my phone downloaded no apps but updated the market still the battery drained. i uninstall latest android market and battery last for 1d 9h 45m 15s. I believe that did the work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] konoplya:
Same problem here in Phoenix. Just noticed yesterday that my battery drained significantly. I don't use maps, although i think i updated it a couple weeks ago, i dont have background data running or GPS. usually i charge my phone overnight and unplug it during the middle of the night when i get up when its charged. now about 6 hours later i have 49% of my battery and i only used the phone a few times for some texts. put it on charge from my computer at work and in about 3 minutes the battery meter went from 49% to 57%, which is also unusual. it takes a LOT longer to get that charge.

would love to find a resolution to this bs. i'll call tmobile and find out also and post my findings.
[G2 and Desire Z General] -RotorDemon-:
My issue was when I applied a CM nightly I had a huge drain and thought my battery went to hell.. There's a thread here about how to find the right kernel and radio for the G2.. Applied that and the battery is doing great!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vyath:
-RotorDemon- - which thread?

This has nothing to do with the radio towers.

I have CM7 RC1 running on a G2 bought in the States, and I'm using it in Israel. Battery life was great up until around the last couple of weeks or so, and suddenly it's dropping dead real fast. No T-Mobile here, so scratch that "tower upgrade" theory.

I've tried setting the thing to edge and while that helps a little, however I don't get nowhere near the battery life I had in the last 8 months. (Used to be around 30 or more hours per charge).

It's so weird to hear this happens cross ROM, cross kernel and even cross country!

What could even cause that?
[G2 and Desire Z General] smartin4166:
T-mobile claims to have fixed the issue but I am still having CRAZY battery drain!

[Focus General] AidenM:
Hello,

I am in the market for a Samsung Focus. I am purchasing an AT&T Focus with no contract. I am thinking either of these:

Focus

Focus 2

But that is not the part I'm worried about. When I get my Focus, I want to open it, mod a couple of things, and have it working awesomely. Here are the things I want to get done:

Unlock it so I can use a SIM from T-Mobile.

Install the latest Mango Developer Preview

Overclock if possible

Install a 4 GB Micro sd card.

I am a newb to the Focus + WP7, but not a newb to tech. As you can see in my sig, I have a rooted Honeycomb Nook Color, and an IDEOS which is rooted and custom ROMed. So please take in mind that I can understand cryptic commands.

Thank you so much and I look forward to my Focus.

~ikingblack
[Focus General] AidenM:
I'm also posting this in the WP7 general section.
[Focus General] siralex241:
Looks like most your requirements can be met. In regards to modding, overclocking is not possible as of now. WP7 community is just getting into providing hspl for wp7 roms; currently there is only hspl for htc devices. Unlocking can be done through calling your service provider in good standing and saying you are traveling abroad; or buy using one of the various unlocking services. The samsung focus is expandable to 32 gb. And installing developer mango release 7712 is as easy as running an exe. All you have to do is run a provision exe, make sure you make a backup, and update through beta zune. Since this community is still young, in my opinion, modding and everything will not be as accessible or possible yet. Though, currently there are members working on efficient registry editors, sideloading apps is possible. Hope this helps you. For specifics on everything mentioned. search in the general focus section.
[Focus General] PaullikesWINMO:
If I were you I would not buy a new Focus at this point. You think Microsoft is going to launch Mango without some fresh hardware ? Either wait for the new models or if you must buy a Focus but one off kijiji.ca or from eBay from a local listing. There's not much that goes wrong with these phones, so unless it's been severly mis-handled (dropped into water) you can probably get a great deal on a used one.
[Focus General] Vico100:
If you can get it cheap.. go for it, or else wait.
[Focus General] adiliyo:
while at this point (so close to mango devices) i would never sign a contract for a focus or any gen1 wp7 device, i would def buy one for ~200, which can easily be found on ebay/CL.

the focus is no slouch (thanks in part to a well made OS), and unless you absolutely NEED a FFC, it will be a perfect good device for some time (in modern phone lifespan terms that is, you know, like a year :p)

as for your desires, like it's been said, everything on your list can be done aside from OC, which isn't necessary on this platform right now, the phone is FAST, especially on mango.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swish123:
Hello,

I bought a Nexus one brand new from Amazon.

I accidentally dropped it onto a concrete floor.

After I dropped it, the camera stopped working(the led flash would flash at random times) and every time I called the screen would shut off and would never turn back on(had to do battery pull).

The led flashing at random times was getting annoying, so I covered the back with electrical tape. As soon as I did this, I noticed everything started to work again - including the camera. So I cut little slits in the electrical tape for camera flash and camera lens and this is how I have been using it for the past few weeks.

But today, I dropped it again and the same problem is back. No amount of electrical tape seems to fix it. I might try again and tape more strongly.

I can live with a broken camera and since I covered the flash with electrical tape, the random flashes won't bother me.

But the phone screen going off during a call and not turning back on is a problem that i have to fix. I simply cannot battery pull and restart the phone every time i make a call. Also during the phone call, when the screen turns off, I have tried: raising the volume button, pressing the power button, and touching the trackball - nothing works to bring it back on.

I tried various market apps for disabling the proximity sensor but nothing works :(

I am on 2.3.4 stock ROM but I can easily root. Is there any hope or do I have to buy a new phone?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinkster:
look at my posts, i posted a way to disable the sensors.

anyway you have to send it to RMA. I did it with mine with the same problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swish123:
there some scratches on it including a cracked camera lens.

i don't want them to send it back when its obvious that it was my fault.

you sure it would be covered in the 1 year warranty?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinkster:
Just flash stock rom and recovery and send it. You can't loose anything.

If they refuse just tape flash led and disable sensors.

Hi Guys,

This is driving me crazy. A lot of people, who are too lazy to search. Well, here you go.

Allright, you brought your Xperia X1 with android. Now, there is a problem. Once in a while, the keyboard does not respond, only action is a reboot. HELP?

Allright, lets get started.

Download this package:

http://www.mediafire.com/?cp1o1glxjo145pu

Install a android of your choice(just normally).

Unpack, and copy all (yes, all) contents to you SD card.

Move the turbo or Monster kernal to the NKBoot Map, click yes to replace any excisting files.

On your computer, open up the readme, and read it carefully.

After step 4(after you entered 'su') type this:

rm /lib/modules* -rf

That will remove your current modules, and at the next boot, they will be replaced.

Reboot, and proceed with step 5 and the rest. Follow the guide excactly, then you're good!

Have a nice evening!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] h_pro9x:

it says cannot remove read only file system

is that normal?

thanks
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] thomskipsp:
yes it is. just reboot after the error, then the new modules will install!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Kurt Krummbein:
Just thinking ... a dev might know it this is possible ...

Hm, perhaps, best solution at the moment would be, to run the unload-load-script when the phone is waking up from sleep mode. So, when keypad is lost, the user can send to sleep with the power button an immediately switch it on again ... and additionally, the script can run when a call comes in ... don't know if these events can get picked up and the event-handlers can be changed, just thinking ...

Ciao

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] lordblacksuca:
Don't know if this could be a good option. Because I have had some freezes when runing the script. And sometimes the screen changes it orientation.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] hopsakee:
Shouldn't it be?:

After step 4(after you entered 'su') type this:

rm /lib/modules/* -rf

mind the /

Anyway, I tried both ways, and rm /lib/modules/* -rf seems to work, but I can't load back into CWM if I install a kernel with seperate keyboard modules. I think I mess up the exact order of installing normal, removing modules, replacing kernel, restarting. Hope this will work

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] hopsakee:
Yes. I can restart keyboard after freeze. Although with eggy monster kernel, my screen is rotated 90degrees after that.

No. I can't get back into CWM, after I switched to a kernel with seperate modules.

The original kernels of Honeycomb v3 both worked.

I tried the kernels with seperate modules of this post and i tried the ygge kernels.

Can this be solved? No. But apparently, there is a workaround http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1072387.

2.2.2 or 2.3.3?

if this is a 2.3 base ill try it out ASAP
[Motorola Droid X2] ryman222:

Very nice. Will try when it's 2.3.3

Thank you for developing for the X2 :)

do i need to wipe data and cache to install?

EDIT: nevermind, i read the instructions.
[Motorola Droid X2] religi0n:
Very nice work, with a very promising dev. I like the changes, and they seem to be your work as well. This is definitely the most tweaked (for the better IMO) ROM available for this phone.

I would be trying this out (but like all the others, waiting on a 2.3.3 update). I feel like it would be hard to go back, as I love 2.3.3 so much. Sorry to be a downer though.

Good work :)
[Motorola Droid X2] pntballpunk:
I followed the instructions but now i cant see my screen i will turn it on, it will show the motorola dual-core logo but then its just black any ideas on how to fix this?
[Motorola Droid X2] arleslie:
Bug

When the battery dies on your phone, it will be in a soft brick state.

Solution:

Boot into standard recovery (Hold Vol. Down while power up. When text pops up, hit Vol. Down until Android Recovery pops up. Press Up. Once in recovery press Vol. Up & Down to pop up menu.)

Select Reboot Now.

Droid X2 is unbricked.
[Motorola Droid X2] ryman222:
Hey thanks a lot :)

Yea it just happened to be bad timing I released right when Gingerbread Leaked so everyone wants a ROMMED up GB. ( N I don't blame em) so im working to get up and running on GB

[Motorola Droid X2] roland0fgilead:
Like the ROM so far, aside from the branded theme (I prefer GB AOSP myself)

Is the DPI on this ROM set higher than normal? It feels like the UI elements are smaller than they were before.
[Motorola Droid X2] ryman222:
That's weird. So all u have to do is reboot from recovery to fix the brick?
[Motorola Droid X2] arleslie:
You may have to reflash, which means SBF and then reroot and all of that.

Yes, I believe it's from an unclean shutdown as my phone didn't even tell me it was about to die and then all of a sudden I had Low Battery Warning, 5% Battery Warning and then *Powering Off* all within 30 seconds. Although I had a similar issue on stock the first time it died.

Also I am unable to download certain Google Apps, I've tried Google Earth and Google+, both are missing the install button.

Apparently after flashing, the apps are no longer compatible with our phones... (Locality issue, the rom is based off of Minimal X which is based off of the Chinese DX2 Rom.)

[Motorola Droid X2] ibrockn:
same issue, SBF back to stock as we speak. IDK if I'm going to try again...

Sorry to here that. Ill look into it. I haven't had that experience yet but today ill let my phone run completely dead to try and replicate the problem. On the Market issue. I built the correct files for the locality issue in. But ill work on a fix tonight.
