Just restarted the phone and the network was reset to wcdma preferred

However good tutorial ;)

[LG Optimus 2x] lkhz:
It's not saving. Goes back to old values.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
Click on menu button and choose save and apply at reboot.

Not sure why the wcdma settings keep being restored for others. Are you guys using cm7 or stock/mcr?
[LG Optimus 2x] xAdaM--:
CM7 (Well MIUI, but it's based on CM7). It's very annoying.
[LG Optimus 2x] crime_of_heart:
For the ones having the problem that wcdma settings keep being restored, just enble 2g radio only first, from the wireless menu. Later repeat the indicated steps and reboot. Did the trick for me. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
sounds excellent! hope somebody can come back with any input on GSM auto (PRL) experiences, for me it really improved battery-life with a couple of hours.
[LG Optimus 2x] charleybrown_de:
I agree with you in all points - except for this one! I could not believe it myself but it has turned out that I get the best battery life on my O2x using this combination:

- MoDaCo FR19

- Baseband 0530

- RIL 0622

Baseband 0622, which is actually recommended for FR19, was horrible for me regarding battery life! I was surprised to see this non-matching combination provide a far better experience! Also, no problems with connectivity or call quality whatsoever. I'm on Vodafone Germany, for what it's worth.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
Interesting. Do you see any dialer wake in spare parts at all? I notice I recently got android system playing up quite a lot, no idea what is causing it :-(
[LG Optimus 2x] charleybrown_de:
Yes, I see the Dialer show up in Partial Wake Usage. It's on first or second place, but the blue bar is not very long though, maybe 3-4 mm.

Dialer usage seems to increase after 3-4 days of uptime, strangely...
[LG Optimus 2x] abwyatt:
This was missed in the original post so let me add my two cents worth.

To save even more battery, I would as well, advise paying some attention to screen brightness and wallpaper/theme selection.

In my experience, you can save 20 to 30 mAh by turning off Auto Brightness and setting it to something lower. The auto brightness control in O2X is overly bright and dismal in its operation. It barely changes in response to varying light conditions.

For this, you need an automation app called Tasker, or something similar. I use Tasker to control all manner of things including all the network situations mentioned in the first post of this thread. For saving battery in relation to screen brightness, I use Tasker to set screen brightness to 70 during the day, and to turn it down to 50 during the night. You can adjust these to your own preferences. But, as mentioned above, running these values saves me about 20 to 30 mAh of power when the screen is on.

In general, selecting darker wallpapers and themes will also help you save some power. Many messaging and email apps, for example, will give you a choice of a dark or light theme. If they do, I always choose a dark theme to ensure minimal power consumption.

My two cents worth :D
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
Not a bad point, thanks. I am using a low manual brightness, is there maybe a brightness bar widget so you can tune it manuallly directly from a homescreen? That would be great.

And of course you must be crazy to use live wallpapers. Why would you want to make your battery last shorter and your homescreen slower and more annoying to look at?
[LG Optimus 2x] abwyatt:
Yeah, good additional point that I missed about the live-wallpapers :p

I use a small app called Quick Settings which installs in the pull-down notification screen to quickly adjust screen brightness if I need to override the auto settings I set in Tasker.

PS. You might want to update your first post with the info about controlling screen brightness since many users are ignorant of the default auto-brightness setting, AND your post is very useful and I see it being referred to as a solution quite often. I was made aware of this thread from way over at Modaco. Good work!

Hope the moderators will stick this thread to the top of the forum.
[LG Optimus 2x] pa.pn2:
I thought dark wallpapers are more needed for devices with amoled displays. 2x has got a lcd am i right?

Dont know if it that important for it then...
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
I will update it soon. Where did you see it referenced on MoDaCo?

Yes, correct. But nobody said we should use one in this topic, we only discussed live wallpapers :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] CaFFeiNe666:
you are right... there's no difference cause lcd screens have backlight, wich is on also on dark screens (or you won't see grey screen, but totally black, like amoleds)

for easy controls over power saving, i suggest extended control settings, it has all toggles, includes a very good brightness control (you can set it to every touch changes a brightness % in X steps [you can choose how many steps] o you can set it with slidebar)
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
Is it free, and if not, is there a free alternative? A free one is easier to recommend in the first post I guess.
[LG Optimus 2x] abwyatt:
Over here ... http://android.modaco.com/topic/344342-improving-your-battery-life/page__view__findpost__p__1771079

That was me that mentioned that :D My bad. I stand corrected, darker wallpapers and themes won't make any difference on an LCD. It is my wife that has the AMOLED :p
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
Does she work better in the dark as well?
[LG Optimus 2x] CaFFeiNe666:
it's not free, but it costs around 90 cents or similar (79 euro cent)

don't know about a free alternative, i've bought this when it was at its first release (much less settings, it just had wifi, 3g, airplane, bluetooth) so i didn't search for an alternative ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] abwyatt:
hahaha ... very funny!
[LG Optimus 2x] abwyatt:
Well, I had mentioned the Quick Settings app is the one that I use to control screen brightness. A great app that is free in the Market! ... https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bwx.bequick&feature=search_result
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
A widget would be better, though, still looking for one ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Basil 123:
summat to try- I froze the CM7 Theme Chooser app using Titanium backup on 2 phones - N1 and O2x - both seemed to benefit battery-wise. (The Theme Chooser app was downloading data heavily for no good reason)

Cheers

Baz
[LG Optimus 2x] abwyatt:
IMHO Quick Settings is even better. You can access Quick Settings by a long press on the search key upon which the screen brightness slider is immediately available :D Very useful when you have an app open already - avoids minimizing the app to get to a widget (if it exists) and then reopening the app.
[LG Optimus 2x] chota_shivaji:
My 2 cents:

- I am seeing that battery life improves dramatically if you turn off the radio after use.

- I tried this with FR19 Stock Froyo, MIUI, CM and got similar results. I have 0622 baseband and matching ril binary.

The only downfall of this is, you cannot get the auto-notifications for gmail, facebook, google+ etc. For me this is ok.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
My first point was that is just unacceptable. It's a smartphone, if it cannot cope with having any data connection at all times it's a crap device. Also, I am using IM with whatsapp and talk so I don't receive all messages in that case.
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
If the dialer is #1 on the list of high usage, can we use an alternate dialer or a less resource hungry one?
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
It is the phone reporting that the mobile coverage is using battery, nothing much we can do about it except of turning on flight mode :p
[LG Optimus 2x] mach2005:
The dialer keeps the phone awake after a charge. After disconnecting your phone, reboot... and the dialer problem is gone. I had the problem with every Froyo rom.

Unfortunately this has to ne done every time. It saves a hell of amount of battery time.
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
Interesting observation.
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
my dialer wake is max. 2 minutes per full charge, so I do not have such issues. did you try to switch to GSM Auto (PRL)?
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
Well I've always been on GSM auto.
[LG Optimus 2x] len.asdf:
Dear wapz,

Thanks for this tutorial! I changed a lot of settings, hopefully my battery will last for a day now ;)

But you can call me stupid or whatever, but i can't seem to find the Gesture menu... :/ It was really early this morning and i had lots of coffee today so maybe that's the problem. Anyway, some directions would be appreciated.

And you also stated this:

I followed your advice, but now i'm interested! Can you explain it shortly what it all does? Or better, a link (wich will probably save you alot of typing :)).

And my last question is what provider you have right now? Currently i'm using T-Mobile which is horrible except if i use the 502 baseband. (Although i'm using 725 now but havent had time to switch).

Thanks in advance!

Lennard
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_roaming_list
[LG Optimus 2x] len.asdf:
Thanks Rusty :)

But then according to the table on the wiki GSM is 2g, 2.5g and 2.75g. Isn't that a lot slower? I always thought that there is a huge gap between 2g / 3g.

Actually i'm more confused now :P
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
The short version is that it will use GSM/2G or 3G/HSPA depending on what the list tells it, rather than always being on the lookout for a 3G signal.
[LG Optimus 2x] len.asdf:
Thanks again rusty for your answer!

Now it makes sense for me :)
[LG Optimus 2x] mironiko:
Have a similar problem. On my O2X (CM7 temasek's KANG, build 77), when I look into Spare Parts and then Battery History/Sensor Usage, I see that Dialer Sensor (as well as YouTube sensor and Gallery sensor (!!) - WTF?) is (are) on almost all the time the screen is on. Of course, Dialer, Gallery and YouTube are among the biggest users of the battery juice when I look under the Settings/About...

How to resolve this? Seems that all the phone's sensors (proximity, orientation) are on all the time the screen is on... I double checked - the check box for Orientation under Call settings isn't checked, as well as everything else...

Anybody have a solution?

Thanks in advance!
[LG Optimus 2x] mironiko:
Anyone, please?

Can't ask the question in the Development subforum, so if someone would be that kind - thanks!

O2X via TT2
[LG Optimus 2x] mironiko:
Ok, gave up and flashed Django Manouche 1.2 - hope it won't have the same battery issues.

O2X via TT2
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
But... isn't it obvious that the sensors should be on when the screen is on? I mean... you want the screen to rotate when you rotate the phone right? And you want the screen to go black when you put it close to your face, yeah?

I don't understand why you would want to turn these off.
[LG Optimus 2x] Nagharjun:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrPepperLives23:
I haven't seen any aosp roms that have proximity sensor working. CM7 and OMFGB don't shut off the screen when I put the phone to my face to make a call. Is it just me?

When I hold an app icon and try to add it to my home screen, I select the option "add to home" and it send me to my home screen without any kind of icon. Help?
[Atrix 4G General] Jibraldor:
Sounds like your home screen is already full. Try moving some of the apps from your main home screen ( the middle one) and place them elsewhere. If the middle one is filled up, it will usually just take you to the home screen and not carry the shortcut for the app forward.

Else, try moving to an empty home screen(any except the middle one) and push and hold down on an empty space. Then, you will see an option saying "Shortcut" or something. Click on it, choose "application" and then select the app you want on that specific home screen and it will just carry it to that empty space you selected earlier.
[Atrix 4G General] jruweaver:
If you have a home replacement app installed(launcherpro, adwlauncher, etc.) uninstall it and then try. Had the same problem, uninstalling the replacement launcher fixed it. Blur is garbage.
[Atrix 4G General] autumn_leaf:
i just had pretty much the same issue. i just installed Go Launcher and the only way to add things onto the home screen is to hold down on the home screen you want to add to, then press add application and then there's a check list for the apps you want to add to that screen.

i know it's off topic, but blur does suck, i was okay with it until i tried other home replacement apps, went back to blur and it physically hurt.
[Atrix 4G General] atrix103:
Thanx guys but im perfectly aware of how to add stuff to the home screen and

When its full or not. As for launchers I have 5 different launchers installed including stock MOTOBLUR and I use home switcher for froyo. So for the time being ill just work with a lil' ADW here and a lil' launcherpro. Thanx anyway guys (:
[Atrix 4G General] MIschanezkee:
Apps wont move to home screen

hey duys im having the same issue. i long hold an app and press add to home and just goes to home screen without adding it. my home screen is not full and iv rebooted my device a couple times i havent downloaded any launchers but i did just root my phone. could that be it???

My phone is randomly sending text messages to people. Usually it is a duplicate of a text I sent to them a day or so prior. Now today it sent a message that I never even typed.

I've seen some random dscussion about this but no solutions.

I'm running cm7, but this issue has happened on other ROMs as well.

Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Well since CM7 is still in alpha testing, that was my first guess.

If its happening on other ROMs, then its probably a network issue.

This has never happened to me but I do sometimes receive duplicate texts from people on Verizon. This has been confirmed to be a network issue.

[HD7 General] streetster:
Why oh why!

So do AT&T run their 3G on a different frequency to T-Mobile?

Is the only physical difference between the HD7 and HD7S the display? Or are there different chips inside - ie is the Mhz restriction in hardware or can it be overridden in software?

Rocking out on EDGE really isnt much fun!
[HD7 General] JamesDax:
Yeah, until the merger(if it happens) T-Mobile and AT&T use different 3G radio fregencies. Sorry 'bout that.
[HD7 General] prjkthack:
Even if the merger happens, at&t has already stated that anyone with a T-Mobile phone will have to get an at&t phone eventually. They aren't gonna keep T-Mobile's network around for long.

Pretty sure the only big difference is the screen. We haven't heard much else that is different, and there probably isn't much. Oh, the speaker grills on the top and bottom are not silver (if I recall correctly). That's about all we know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pegasi_Delta:
I'm using the script in this thread to try and remove the bloatware from my SGS2 (my phone dropped from 55% battery life when I went to sleep last night, to empty when I woke up. I've reset battery stats as I only flashed recently, but thought this would be a good step as well). I've run the backup script and got a few file/directory could not be found errors, but it seemed to work ok. However, when I run the delete script, it starts and appears to delete the first couple of apps, then forces a restart of my phone suddenly. Have tried multiple times, both with a modified version of the script to leave the Digital Clock widget in tact, and also with the unaltered version the creator provided.

I'm running Lite'ning 4.1, I thought that maybe this script was only meant for the stock rom but it didn't say anything in the OP so I thought it should be OK. I tried to post in the thread for the script itself but haven't got enough posts to reply outside of this forum yet. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
