[LG Revolution] drt054:
darnit.. I really want/need the baseband update.. anybody have the stock Recovery image? I lost mine when attempting to backup before installing CWM, not thinking I would ever need it..
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
Just flash it via revotoolkit...

The baseband image doesn't appear to change much at all, it's only a minor change it appears...
[LG Revolution] Danzdroid:
Mine wouldn't take any deferral time greater than 24 hours....and out of the blue it started about 10 hours after I deferred for 24....

Mine rebooted to Clockwork, I selected reboot, it came back up, displayed a page noting the failure, and everything appears to be working fine -- 30 minutes and counting. We'll see if it tries again...
[LG Revolution] drt054:
Yeah, I PM'd you on that.. revo tool kit not working, download file only 36k, even attempted to download the .tar (via Windows7) described in the output in the program and the countdown just keeps looping. There may be something wrong with the files or the file host...

disregard.. just attempted download in Dolphin Browser on my phone and it is downloading the 6.73mb file recovery-stock.tar from 199.167.134.110/private/iomonster/files/revo-cwm/recovery-stock.tar.gz

So i should be able to follow same instructions I used to manually install cwm to install this, correct? Or I could just wait for the new decrap ROM, but I am very impatient.. lol
[LG Revolution] drt054:
I am giving up!!!!!

ok.. getting really mad now. I successfully and manually flashed the stock recovery image and verified that with revo toolkit. So applied the update and it boots into stock recovery but not even half way through the arrow becomes an " ! " and reboots and says update failed or incomplete. So now I will put back CWM and wait for the next version of decrap.
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
You can NOT apply the OTA if you're running decrap!
[LG Revolution] drt054:
I know that.. I am using stock rooted. I only meant I would wait for it because you said you were going to include the update in next version..
[LG Revolution] Danzdroid:
I'm running Decrap1.1 and couldn't stop the attempted upgrade, since mine wouldn't respond to any attempts to defer. So, I went poking around under the hood. Just on a hunch, I used Titatium Backup to freeze a program called Verizon Package Installer, thinking that might interupt any attempt to actually update. The update loader ran and failed, gave me a warning, and I haven't seen it again since. I also am having ZERO problems with the phone. It's like it went away and isn't coming back.

Do you think my package loader freeze might do that?
[LG Revolution] vortmax:
I have a stock ROM and unrooted (now). It was formerly rooted and I had a failed attemp at installing Cube's revtoolkit. During that process, it deleted the stock recovery rom.

Now, when I just tried to load the update, it failed and kept me at the fastboot screen. I then used the fastboot.exe method to recover using the recovery rom Cube recommended (which brought me into Clockwork). Rebooted and all was back to normal.

However, when I try to load the update, it just reboots and brings me into Clockwork. Any suggestions on a way to fix this?

Thanks...
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
If you're rooted with clockwork installed, you will not be able to install the update.

Just hit "reboot" in clockwork and your phone will boot back into Android and it'll say "update failed".

Until decrap2, do not try to apply the update! You will lose root, and right now I'm not sure if there's a way to get it back without using LGNPST.
[LG Revolution] vortmax:
I'm not rooted now...I unrooted before I attempted the update. It seem Clockwork got 'installed' when I had to recover from the fastboot loop. How can I get the 'Revo Stock' recovery back on the phone? I'm guessing that's all it needs at this point...
[LG Revolution] thecubed:
You'll have to root and install revotoolkit and install "revo stock" before you can update.

Keep in mind, as far as I know right now, once you install the update there's no going back.

I seem to recall people saying that current exploits don't work to get root in the new update (which implies a new kernel version)
[LG Revolution] obvious.sarcasm:
Just dropping this in for anyone who doesn't have the update yet ;)

pvzwmdmfota.vzw.motive.com/firmware/LG_VS910_ZV4_TO_ZV6.bin

Also, if you happened to have the update downloaded already but deferred it, you can find it in

/cache/fota/ipth_package.bin.
[LG Revolution] djembeman:
What now???

Okay, so my OTA download keeps failing, "download failure, device runs out of memory" and I've downloaded your file, but what do I do with it? Do I need to rename it, put it in a certain directory. I tried booting into recovery a while back and there wasn't really a recovery. Also the file is a bin file not a .zip. So what do I do?

Nevermind, although it would be nice to know how to manually flash an update on the REVO. I just ended up doing a Factory Data Reset and the download and install of the OTA was successful.
[LG Revolution] obvious.sarcasm:
Sorry.

I'm still trying to figure out how to make an update.zip from this.

Otherwise, we'll have to wait til cubed gets his cm7 port out with the update.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
I have an update zip made for this, but there are a couple things.

1) Requires root and ClockWork to install,

2) You will lose root still

Although you will lose root, you will keep ClockWork (I have removed the new recovery files) so that other roms can be flashed once they are made, or you can return to a back up.

It works, if anyone wants it, just let me know. I just didn't think it was worth posting until root access is found.
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
I think its dang funny how we have posted in 3 different areas not to update, and people are still trying to update. I learned the other night to be patient. There are fixes coming and very soon you will have another developer working on programming for this awesome phone. If update fails, let it. If for some reason it keeps wanting you to update and you can not defer, please pm, me and I will work on getting you straightened out. Please be aware I am still learning, but I am organized, and will sincerely make an effort to help.

The update is not worth losing root. There is nothing valuable in there.
[LG Revolution] RegnierD:
I beg to differ! My lunchbox is in there! Bastards stole it last week and I've been trying to find it since! My poor PB&J...
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
See, I told you not to stick that in the HDMI port. Now look what happened. Now Verizon is gonna want a glass of milk.
[LG Revolution] RegnierD:
As long as I get my favorite Dora The Explorer lunchbox back, I don't care how much milk they want.

Don't be hatin' on my Dora! Lol

Besides, all I wanted was some 720p lunch. Is that so much to ask?
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Dang forum, I wanted to respond with a simple LOL, but no, gotta be 10 letters at least. so..... LAUGH OUT LOUD!!!!
[LG Revolution] obvious.sarcasm:
Awesome.

Could you possibly send it to me?

I kinda want to know what I did wrong in packaging it. :)
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
I could, but thanks to the help of thecubed, I should have something a little better for you tonight! ;-) Either way it will be tonight before I can work on it anymore, I am stuck at work until 5:30 cst and don't have any files with me.

What kind of error are you getting?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Just a little teaser
[LG Revolution] djembeman:
Why did you post the quadrant score??? I get about that on Quadrant Standard all of the time. What is it teasing?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Well considering mine was never higher than 1900 and now I average 2150, consider yourself teased by an average, non exciting quadrant score!!!
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Yah!!! Take that to yo mama!!!
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Lol!
[LG Revolution] ozymandiaz:
So what do you got for us? =D
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
So.... this morning, the update tried pushing itself again. And failed. It did not give me an option to delay, defer, or nothing. Just tried. I called Verizon, and talked to Jason. I said, "I don't want the update. Is there anyway to turn off that option, so the update doesn't happen to my phone?"

"Well" said Jason, "There is. You can disable the network, and disable the wifi."

LOL, seems like a reasonable option to me.

Jason said, "Verizon, and LG use 2 different types of OS. When the two come together, they discover bugs. LG then works on fixes for the bugs, and sends out the updates automatically, there is no way to stop it from trying to update the phone."

I certainly hope, that it indeed will not try to force itself into my phone. My phone is currently bug free, because of awesome people like Cubed, Mtmichaelson, and others whoms names I would destroy by trying to spell them.

I know we (like I am working on it, right?) have fixes coming soon, and some guys working very hard on ways around.

My question, if we find away around it, will LG see that the phone has been updated? Or will it try to (for lack of a better word) rape my phone into submission?
[LG Revolution] gimpcell:
you are rooted, update will fail

read a few posts from a few days ago
[LG Revolution] markapowell:
Yes I know. That wasn't the point of my post. I really just want it to keep failing. Mostly I would love it if it just stopped trying to update altogether. But according to vzw, that can't really happen.
[LG Revolution] ufkal:
So I finally got the update notice. I didn't want to run the risk of it screwing up my phone, so I deferred for 24 hours. I'm more worried about what will happen if I forget in 24 hours and it tries to auto update.

I went into the cache and deleted the downloaded file (at least the one I think was the file) That should delay it some. I hope. Or am I just delusional. (about this topic, not in general....)
[LG Revolution] KaneOfMars:
I tried that... as soon as I reboot my phone it started downloading it again, but it didn't ask if I wanted to defer or not (it did not install either) I'm guessing it had saved my previous defer date somehow. Unfortunately I don't know what happened when my defer date/time came up, I flashed the new Revolt ROM which has the update included earlier today.
[LG Revolution] drutman:
Update on my Revo

Dear All:

What I did was to accept dl of vzn update, waited about 5 min to receive and got memory error as reported by others. I hit the back key and it goes away. I still have root and everything is fine. I went into Ti backup and froze the vzn package installer I have not yet received any new attempts or notifications to upgrade. The freeze seems to stop the update process.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jekostas:
Alright, fairly new X10 user here, but I have an important question:

Should we be really installing the xloud enhancement on our phones?

The Bravia enhancement, for example, is a purely software solution - a localized contrast/color enhancement to make pictures and videos look better.

Xloud, on the other hand, increases power output to the external speakers, a hardware effect that can have very strong negative effects - ie. blown out external speakers in short order. It's also meant for a phone with different hardware specifications, the Arc.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohsentz:
We should w8 untill a dev take a look into it and solve Its issues then it will worth it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
As the OP correctly pointed out, it's not something a developer can "solve".

There is no issue with xLoud itself, it's just not for the X10.

I tried it, it works but the sound output is awful and I can almost feel my speakers scream "STOP THIS!!!!" :D :D :D

Maybe it could be altered but I doubt it's worth it and I wouldn't use it for prolonged period anyway.

It's another thing to mess with software and another thing to mess with hardware.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemmo123:
has everyone forgotten cant dsp manager? its a much safer and controlled way to increase volume...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veggalamvenu:
Thanks for your valuable info.. I will try DSP manager
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walidhiphop:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blow the speaker !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey man....the xloud is not that POWER........plus....the x10 speaker is so small and strong......
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Quipster:
x Loud kills the x10's speaker.

It is without a doubt that x10 does in fact kilsl the speaker on your phone. The xLoud was not intended for the x10 and shouldn't be used in my opinion. I have confirmed with several people in regards to this matter and all of which agree that xloud will damage your x10's speaker.

In my opinion, you don't need this feature. And like most post here, "USE AT YOUR OWN RISK." I learned my lesson having my speaker blown.

To: Developer

Thank you very much for your contributions to the x10 community.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonx254:
Where do you get DSP manager?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychem:
i think dsp manager is a better idea than xloud... quality vs quantity.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawja5215:
T.E.A.M ROM already has DSP manager pre-installed , WOLF V7 test update also has it to.

Btw, I love using xLoud because it enhances headset speakers during calls.I always have trouble with the in-call volume from the start. :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahibunlimited:
No [10 chars]
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmegaRED^:
Xloud is useless on the x10's internal speaker.

It's just not capable of playing low frequencies.

Does updating your radio and/or kernel on your evo when it is flashed to cricket ruin your flash? Because I am looking to upgrade my radio because I get the error on youtube that won't allow me to play videos over 3G.

no it does not,just dont dial *228 and you will be fine !!

and dont flash the same radio numbers two times in a row or it will

brick your radio so check your radio numbers in h-boot and flash a different

one.

hope this helps!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolf3235:
So I can flash the latest sprint radio and kernel and be fine? Can you link me to where i can get both of those? And can you show me how to figure out the radio numbers so I don't brick my phone?
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
I just can't seem to crack the battery life conondrum. I've calibrated (charge to 100%, wipe stats, then full cycle).

If I'm listening to music its consistently I'm sucking ~10% an hour, if idling ~4-5%. Which means I'm getting around same battery life as my old nexus one – mediocre, I end a working day with around 30-40%. If I want to go out after work i have to remind myself to charge during the day...

Right now I'm even running a mild setcpu undervolt (with faux123 kernel) and profile (screenoff max cpu 600mhz) but seeing not much improvement if any.

I am on gingerbread AT&T radio so thats not it either... any tips aside from 'use juice defender' (which I don't want to do as I want always on data instant push etc., I know juice defender basically shuts your data radio off)?

Note this is the same with stock gingerbread as well as the ROM and kernel I'm currently on (redpill, faux123 kernel)
[Atrix 4G General] TheSmokingAndroid:
I've done everything you have and i'm on a Bell Atrix....i have been looking into this for about a week or more and i just can't crack it either!!! it's driving me nuts and i have spent sooo many hours googling, searching xda and other sites and have tested MANY different methods and still can't seem to figure it out. For me i know its the phone idle...but what it is i can't tell, i have SystemPanel monitoring as as well as watchdog which i alternate with. Flashed the battery calibration fix and calibrated the meter blah blah blah....driving me nuts and i know its not a faulty battery because before i unlocked and flashed 2.3.4 i could get about 30 hours with heavy to moderate use!!!

For the love of god i wish a team of dev's would look into this!!!!!!!!
[Atrix 4G General] ChongoDroid:
Honestly none of the faux kernels worked for me... Try gobstopper, stock kernel with watchdog was the only combo to give me good battery life. Not to mention lock sounds works properly, and its fast. All bell users should use it. Seriously... 19+ hours worth moderate usage.

phone idle is still high but it seems to be a slow drain.
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
a.) not an option for me, AT&T phone

b.) I'm not seeing faux's kernel do any worse than stock kernel, I don't think its the kernel?

c.) yeah I tried system monitor as well, the highest process was opera at 3%.... 3 lousy percent lol
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
1. Calibrate your battery again (I have posted a guide in the General section)

2. Flash a kernel which allows overclocking, install SetCpu, add battery saving profiles (downclock to 500mhz on screen off, downclock to 800 mhz when battery less than 30%, downclock to 800mhz if temperature higher than 50C)

3. Freeze all MotoBlur bloatware (there's a guide in the general section)

4. Disable data and wifi unless you need it

5. Install Watchdog and set it up according to instructions I provided in my calibration thread.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
all your solutions he basically either already did (1 and 2), or stated he does not want to (#4) =P
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Well, if you keep data or wifi turned on at all times, then there's no way you can have something more than mediocre battery life, sorry.

It's not the Atrix'es fault, its the brutal truth with all modern smartphones.
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
1 personally run ninja speed freak, i get amazing battery life. simply amazing, days on worth of battery!

it is not a kernel issue, i simply dont know exactcly what hack in particular gives ninja the amazing battery life. but im working hard to determing this so i can share it.
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Perhaps, bypassing MotoBlur sign in ;)
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
I'm not signed into motorblur either.

I do turn off wifi when out, but bluetooth is normally on.
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
The people in this thread have listed all known steps to improving battery life. ;)

If you really follow all of these guidelines and have bad battery life, you might want to try a battery replacement.

If you are sure your battery is not the problem, you might also want to try a couple of custom roms. Who knows maybe you will get lucky with one of them.
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
Is there any way to log off from motoblur once you are in so you can stay offline? Of course any connection that gets cut will increase battery life.
[Atrix 4G General] tehrules:
I don't understand all these battery life problems. Its got to be an app you are installing or your battery is buggered!

Admittedly when I first installed 2.3.4 OTA, battery life dropped like a stone, but I drained it flat, and then charged it up again and its been fine ever since.

I'm running on stock 2.3.4 without root, and I have quite a lot going on (IM's/Facebook/Twitter) and I can last well over a day and a half with moderate use, this includes sms and calls.
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Battery life is a very subjective issue. One person might be fine with the phone, while the other person will say battery life is terrible with the very same phone.

Besides the obvious drainage problems, it all depends on how you use the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
Honestly the best thing that worked for me was turning off "Syncing".

I currently have 3G on, BT on, ETC...

Syncing in the background killed my battery life. Now I usually make it through the day without the need for a top-off...
[Atrix 4G General] ekerbuddyeker:
Im in stock gingerbread and battery life is definitely worse than on stock 2.2.2 and and im basically running the same Apps. I am a heavy user and I used to drop 10% per hour. Switch on at 7am and by 5pm I was changing battery. Now I am switching around 3pm.

That's why I have 3 batteries!

I still think its better than nearly every other device I have owned but that nay be because battery is larger. I dont know why they don't design to put in 2400 mah batteries (my treo 650 had one!).
[Atrix 4G General] paravorheim:
The treo 650 also had a thickness double that of the Atrix ;).
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
The batteries in your phone are high-capacity lithium-ion batteries. This kind of battery technology cannot be simply reset and “re-calibrated.” When you follow the steps to recalibrate your battery and delete the batterystats.bin file from your phone, you are getting rid of more than what you think… Stored inside that batterystats.bin file, your phone keeps detailed logs of the capacity of your battery and uses it on how it can be utilized more efficiently. By deleting this file, it basically wipes the phone’s memory on what the battery can really do. This actually does damage to your battery by using up valuable charging cycles, all while giving a fraction of battery life and performance.

Now, you might be saying uh-oh, I’ve already re-calibrated my battery! What do I do?!

Well here’s your answer. Use your phone like normal. Yes, your battery and phone wont perform as good as it can for a while, but after a few days, you will notice that it starts doing better and better. Give it time, its trying to rebuild all those logs that you just deleted.
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
This is the first time I am reading this sort of opinion, though I have read countless info on the subject.

If you want to make such a strong point, you better have source to back up your opinion (article, studies, other source of proof, etc).
[Atrix 4G General] wirednix:
These threads are all USELESS without NUMBERS.

Like another person with common sense already stated in this thread, you need to provide numbers.

GB has this improved tool (over 2.2) where you can see how your battery is wasting its juice. Watch those numbers for a few charges and then POST THEM TO COMPARE.

Saying your battery sucks without giving any numbers is like calling a color ugly.

(just in case someone misses the points, without numbers it's hard to compare, since it mainly becomes an opinion at that point)

P.S.- Please don't post "My battery lasts for over 9000 hours." and think that's enough info. Use your head.
