[Atrix 4G General] kufel:
I used to have iPhone 3gs and 4, never had such extreme drainage unless I was using Sling Player to watch TV or Skype with video

My wife has Iphone 4, after a full day on Saturday when she made like one phone call only (and the phone is jailbroken and has a crapload of apps on it) the battery meter did not even drop.....

I went through all the radios already, at least the one that comes with Alien ROM comes close to a day providing you have a phone that you do not use.... Luckily I have a car dock so I can charge it on the way from work... :)
[Atrix 4G General] kufel:
So - 2hrs since charging, 81% battery left. This is ridiculous. Display was on for 20 minutes and it consumed the same amount of power as Phone Idle... WTF?

With different radios/rom's there was also Cell Standby consuming the powere but Alien's ROM and 01.77.30p radio at least got rid of that.

Still no good. Especially when buddies with Galaxy S2 have 60-70% at the END of the day......
[Atrix 4G General] Note_E:
Your first problem is comparing an iphone to an android headset. Funny how my stock Atrix sees over 30 hours between each charge. It has everything to do with flashing roms. Period
[Atrix 4G General] kufel:
Is your stock Atrix running Froyo still or Gingerbread? I had Bell's stock GB... Same garbage battery life...Actually even worse than ALien+ATT radio
[Atrix 4G General] Note_E:
GB. I've setup Task Manager to kill most apps after 2 minutes. Ill slap it on the charger 2-3x a day for 15 minutes between my drives. But Im always using my phone for something.

I installed LightFlow, 3g Watchdog, and ESET RC and watched my battery life tank. Uninstalled all 3 and good again. I've also yet to flash a rom. Only rooted.
[Atrix 4G General] Lizzo:
i really think it's the radio... i'm currently on1.100(was on 97) and i'm currently running on 11h55m with 56%battery remaining with my same regular usage(wifi continuously on, continuous sync, etc..) as was on the 1.97...

ooh and i dont have any signal/wifi/gps issues as was reported by some other users
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
Best battery life I've gotten so far has been Dorian's Red Pill, and in a VERY close second, the fruitcake 2.3.4 with the included *stock* radio + kernel. Can go with moderate usage 16 hours easy, 24 - 25 hours if I use it lightly **like an 8 hour work day that I don't use it EVERY break**. Heavy usage I'm not sure about, probably closer to 8 hours. Dunno, don't use it every second. But I'm loving it.
[Atrix 4G General] blackalice:
I'm getting way over 24 hours on CM7. That's including me actually doing stuff with the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] lilhyper:
I too suffered from persistent battery drain on airplane mode, while idle, during the night, etc. Phone Idle seemed to be draining a lot of power. I read a few threads on Wifi causing wake lock and made a lot of changes at once and now seemed to have much better battery life. I'm currently at 23 hours with 63% battery left with light use.

The following are the changes I made, at the same time, so I don't know which of them is the one that helped.

1) Do not use network time update

2) Do not use network location update

3) log out of Latitude

4) Uninstall/Freeze Skype

5) Turn off auto-rotate (this one is probably voodoo magic, but I installed a widget on my homescreen to toggle it).

6) Reboot your phone (it seems to solve the wake lock issues when you encounter it).

Try these and see if it helps. You can also install Watchdog and set it to monitor processes that are using CPU time when your phone screen is off.
[Atrix 4G General] Phoneguy589:
Here's what I did today...

Running The Darkside with Alien theme

Widgetsoid 2 rows....

GPS/Autosync/Bluetooth off

Screen brightness 30% no auto brightness

SetCPU set to screen off 456/216

No texting, some internet usage/ 4 or 5 10 minute calls.

Currently @14% from 6:30am to 9:12pm
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
Going on my 25th hour, 50% battery left. Light to moderate use. A lot of texting, some internet surfing, a call or two, and generally messing with the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] kufel:
I just did the setcpu trick for screen off condition. - THIS IS IT - no idle drain whatsover!!! It only drops when I actually use the phone. Before it was almost 10%/hr even when I did not touch the phone.

I am keeping autosyncing and auto-brightness as I want the phone as usable as possible as long as it keeps the charge for 18 hrs (I know, I know.... I am not getting enough sleep :):):) )

BTW: Alien ROM-no theme, 0.1.7 faux kernel at 1100,0.1.97 radio, SPB 3D Shell
[HTC Desire S] sagarda7:
I am using miui 1.8.19 by superkid and it is the best Rom but now I am back to the stock Rom because there are following problems and suggest for following improvements

1) music player hangs frequently and I have to remove battery. how it can be solved?

2) while calling I hear voice clearly but receipient tells voice quality is not clear and sound is not orignal. I.e voice changed to be like of old man. I found this problem in most of the custom told, but don't know why ?

3) sound volume is very low. can someone implement SRS enhancement from stock ROM?

4) after installing Hindi unicode font, text rendering is not perfect. how can we make it to render like Samsung galaxy s or galaxy ace or galaxy mini.
[HTC Desire S] bail.de:
1) read a lot about this issue, most people say it's because of the equalizer. closing the equalizer has solved the problem for me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
I've been doing a lot of testing with different sim cards the last few days, and thought I'd share my results. I have identified with 100% certainty the reason why some people on miui can't get wifi calling working, while others can. It is 100% caused by the sim card. If you have the older style sim card, with the black numbering on the front, it will work every time. Newer style it doesn't, or maybe once per 50 reboots. (That one has gold lettering on the front.)

Another thing I've discovered, (which ironically I wasn't testing for :)), is this also seems to be the cause of the "apn issue" that people have on cm7. Same deal, older style sim cards don't seem to have it at all. Newer ones do. I have access to 3 different sim cards from tmobile, all activiated on different numbers. I have two of the newer style ones, and one older. Each test was done with 30 reboots each. (I was going cross-eyed by the end of it.)

1st card, new style, one I got with the phone.

- Miui - No wifi calling at all

- cm7 - Apn issue 4 out of 30 reboots

2nd card, also new style, from a different phone.

- Miui - Again, no wifi calling working on any boot

- cm7 - Apn issue 6 out of 30 reboots

3rd card, old style sim card (and although they say new ones increase the 4g speed, after multiple tests I didn't see one difference between any of them speed wise)

- Miui - Wifi calling working perfectly on every boot

- cm7 - not one apn issue out of 30 boots.

So, while this is a small sample size, (I don't have more sim cards, and I really couldn't do more than 90 reboots without loosing my mind), it seems to show the cause of the problem.

There really isn't much I can see them being able to fix this. I'm guessing the miui devs and cm7 devs are using testers that have the old style sim card, or have the old style themselves (depending on if they have the phone or not.) Now since you can't really troubleshoot an issue you can't re-create, this might be something we all have to live with.

I just figured I'd post this so people who had these issues know now they're not insane, and they're not doing anything wrong, it's a compatibility issue.

If anyone else does find something different than what my tests show, please either respond or send me a pm. I'd be very interested to see others results as well. (Like I said, correlation is not causation, so this could very well be a fluke test with such a small sample size.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bender.h:
Good job on the test. Unfortunately I have a sim card with black writing, and I still have the APN issues with CM7, as well as the occasional wifi calling issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
Damn. Well it is sim card related, but perhaps there are a few more types that I wasn't able to test with. Did you get your sim-card with the phone? Or did you have an older phone and used the same simcard in the newer one? (The old one I'm using is at least 4 years old, if that helps.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alias503:
how can i help

Thanks for the info. I bet that drove you up a wall. I have 1 maybe 2 of the old "3g" Sims. And 2 newer ones from TMobile Replacing the "3g" ones. And I have 4 brand new ones that came with both of my devices. I kept them when I returned the phone. Let me see what I can do to help. I run cm7 and modified versions of the stock rom. I have big time issues and want to help resolve this.

I agree with the comments about developers....but remember this not there day jobs and they do depend on us to submit info...but then with all of the talk about apn's you would think at least one would have fought on. I have a copy of xboarders Apn fix....never really looked at it. I just keep using apnsbu from the market. I will report back with findings. Thinks for. The post and something to do...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mstrk242:
Oh that statement wasn't in any way meant to be a shot at any of the devs, I'm just stating that you can't blame them not being able to look at a problem they are unable to re-create. Infact, it was just the opposite. It was more like saying it's not their fault in the least.

And please let me know your results. (Yes, it was driving me nuts. I've been going through logs, the init.rc, all the added init scripts, everywhere trying to figure out why it wasn't working. This was a last ditch effort, figuring it couldn't possibly be this but there was nothing else to try. Go figure :))
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alias503:
This is turning out to be very tedious. My old sim from my tmo shadow/Juno days is a bit unreadable. The number has been tuned and is in readable. But no worries the bb still works and disabled to read the serial number....now on hold with TMobile. I am starting to think I really called at&t. Any how what I would like to knowis how can we identify what card is what. I see some noticeable differences like the old one has a big ger gold contact area, the numbers where in black, and the design on the old one on the contact side is gray. There is. Nothing legible on it. But I do know it is one of the old ones. Is came with a 3g phone from like 3 years ago. I am supplying this info to possibly help identify what Sims work. I will post pics later if needed.....still waiting. Off topic but all three hold songs suck. If they want to keep people happy then they should get some new "caller tunes" will report back more later....25 minutes on hold now.......
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bender.h:
I believe my sim card is around 3 years old, but I'm trying to think whether I might have gotten a new one during one of my phone upgrades. Not really sure...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alias503:
Ok I can not further test this today. Turns out that they have to release the old similar card.?.?. What ever that means. Did some questioning. This is what I got. My old card is a 2g. The new cards are 3g. 3g card is needed for 4g. How to tell a 3g from 2g is a marking on the contact side of the card. 3G cards say "TM9073"

So if people could help with trend analys that would help a lot. Info need is...

1) do you have apn issues.

2) what, if any, markings do you have on the contact side of your sim.

3) what rom and version are you using.

4) kernel info.

5) baseband.

This could be helpfully to us and any developer that is willing to help figure this out.

Edit: I have not tried the miui roms. I will help as much as I can with miui, but I think this is the same issue with different Results. So I am adding in the rom question.

Edit 2) wifi calling will come up invalid sim when apn is lost on cm7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bender.h:
1) do you have apn issues.

Yes

2) what, if any, markings do you have on the contact side of your sim.

No markings on the contact side of the sim

3) what rom and version are you using.

CM7 Nightly 114

4) kernel info.

CM

5) baseband.

July version
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alias503:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] joser24:
BY THE WAY NEW R34 128k sims are now available.

im currently running this sim and i have no issues whatsoever!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alias503:
Do you know of any way on how to id this sim? From others?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
If you have an old T-Mobile sim you should be able to call them and tell them you wish to change your number and service to the old sim card. You give them the number on the old sim (if you can read it) and tell them you want to do a sim swap. I have done this before on a prepaid account. I don't see how a sim could increase your data connection speed. The new sims just have larger phone books and can accept longer names, etc.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alias503:
I called yesterday. They released the sim. What ever that does. So some time today I need to call back and set it up. I have many sims on hand to try but this is the oldest one. I am not worried about how many numbers I can store on. I just want to help try and find a solution to the apn issues using custom roms. Any information posted here in regards to apn or sim cards is usefull. I see people reading this so please chime in. Even the smallest bit of info could help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
So if people could help with trend analys that would help a lot. Info need is...

1) do you have apn issues.

No APN issues ever. WiFi calling doesn't work with MIUI, works 90% of the time with CM7.

2) what, if any, markings do you have on the contact side of your sim.

TM9073

3) what rom and version are you using.

CM7 Nightly #109

4) kernel info.

Default CM7 kernel

5) baseband.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] alias503:
Ok could not go back to old 2g sim. Rep gave me many reasons as to why it would not work after submitting it 3 time. The 3g sim I was using was new in early may replacing 2g sim. Insted of reverting back to current 3g sim I decided to use the sim that came with my g2x. I noticed that the contact area on the new 3g sim was slightly different then the old 3g from may. Both. Sims had that "T" code on the contact side. I guess it is time to test. Report more tomorrow.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alias503:
Update: new 3g sim card a waste of time. Did a reboot and no data. I wish I knew where to look. Cm7 and miui seem to be a waste of time. I need wifi calling at home. Does any one have any ideas? Are their any developers willing to help? Is there some where or some one we can report this to?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Ive found the same thing as OP. WIFI started acting up when I finally switched to using the sim that can't with the phone. Never had any issues with the old one. When I pop the old sim back in wifi is perfect. I'm kicking myself now because I cant reregister my old sim because all the numbers are rubbed off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alias503:
FYI: try inserting sim in other device's. Depending on the device you can go into setting and read the sim card number. I used a @#$%berry 8220 Pearl flip. I wish you luck. I just tried to revert back to my old sim. They could not push it because it was inactive to long. Something like 30 days. Keep us posted.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wickednix:
Yes RC is working on the sim card issue.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
When I bought my G2x in a T-Mo store the 4 year old "2g" SIM I was using had been through the washer twice, once in a WinMo Wing and recently in my N1. I was happy to finally get a replacement for whatever that was worth, even if the old one seemed to work fine.

After the OTA update came out I did have a little trouble with WiFi and cell data both running at the same time, but since I flashed a custom ROM I haven't had any significant problems. Now I use the new SIM with WiFi calling almost all day everyday on Weapon G2x, it has also worked fine for me on Xboarder's Stock Tweaked OTA and EB 2.3.3 ...all of these are OTA based 2.3.3 ROMs.

ETA: This phone does need to be rebooted every day or so to keep it running smoothly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alias503:
I miss the win Mo days. Lol. Well off to the link posted above. I find most of my issues when I get to work In the morning. Over night on wifi and charging. Do a reboot/battery pull every night before charging. (This became habit after Tmo shadow got replaced by a @#$%berry.) At 3:45 am I grab my phone and go... I might try turning wifi off before I leave tomorrow. It does happen trough out the day. I notice that wifi calling will not work when apn is missing. I wounded if this is part of miui wifi issue. I should try holding my phone up side down. Lol still love that pro tip.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
I found an old style SIM online and bought it. Will test and report back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alias503:
How did the "new" "old"sim card work?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
haven't gotten it yet. should be here early this week.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
so I got the card but wasn't able to activate it because it was last activated more than 60 days ago.

I can however confirm that with it in my phone no longer shower unknown under about phone -> my phone number which points to the conclusion that the sim cards are indeed the issue.

prolly just going to go to t-mobile and buy a new sim and see if that works. all the new sim cards cant be busted...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I recently purchased a used Nexus One and when I first got it I tried using an older DTAC Thailand sim. I could get a signal and the phone would connect to the data network but I kept getting a "could not connect to servers" error when trying to log into my Google Account. I thought I had a major problem but then decided to try another sim. I then used a newer sim from AIS Thailand and the phone had no problem logging into my Google account. So it seems the sim was the issue in this regard. When you have a connectivity problem try a sim swap first. It could save you headaches.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alias503:
There is still a loss of data issue when using a cm7 rom. I will agree that a sim could create some issues or even possibly magnifie the issue of data loss. I switch out to the sim that came with the g2x and have had fewer data loss issues then before. I think it is in the told file or something. Check the link posted earlier in this thread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Took forever to get my hands on an unactivated old style sim card but it finally came today and after activating it I can confirm that wifi calling works even after rebooting. Also my number no longer shows as unknown in the settings menu. Wonder what it is about these new sims that wont work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I just ordered an old one from ebay. I swapped my SIM cards several times starting at the first of the year and no longer have any older ones. All I've gotten are the newer style and none of them have worked very well.

It is weird how Stock roms work but custom ones have issues. You'd think the Sim, Sim Reader, Software, would all read it the same.

I must agree that my old SIM card that I've had for YEARS worked like a champ with no issues. They've always tried to upgrade me but I refused.

Right now I'm running the latest MIUI and have never been able to connect with WiFi Calling aside from Stock and CM7. Always get invalid SIM and unknown number.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Yeah its weird. Nice to have wifi working again though.. its been nothings. Ill never activate a new sim just for the hell of it again lol..

Which Kernel works in Stock 2.2.2 v10d !!!

From past few days i'm looking for a kernel which works on stock and can be OC to 1.4GHZ or 1.5GHZ Please help me :)

If you can help me i will be always thankful to you :)

As i am new in XDA and Lg Optimus 2x is my first Android mobile !!!
[LG Optimus 2x] ArVanHas:
Hi. First of all, read, read, read and then maybe proceed. But proceed only if you have an O2x.(P990) Best is to go here and do the superoneclick and rommanager/clockwork stuff. Simply follow the steps. Make a back-up with rommanager or clockwork via reboot.

There are serveral good and stable 2.2 roms, my choice is FR19 Fear Edition

Just search, read and try it out.

If you mess it up and are stuck with a seemingly dead phone use this method.

Good luck.
[LG Optimus 2x] Abhay Kaushal:
I have a p990 only and wanted a kernel which works in stock is it necessary to put a custom rom for overclock and if I put a kernel and I wanted to go back to my phones original kernel how will I. Do that f and i have already done root, rommanger and back up but I need a kernel which overclocks and work in stock.
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:

ok ....so i bein trying to modify my apps trying to make the back ground transparent so heres the problem i dont know how to make it transparent i have read gides on how to make apk transparent but non of them talks about how to make the background transparent ..i read this gide that i have to delete the background but than when i put it back the background it white ....so i dont know what to do im really looking forward to this so plz help me if yall know how to do this >>>>> thanks..........i know i put another post of this in the other forum but i need help and nobody replying i know yall bussy im sorry!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
i assume u know how to decompile the apk... 2 ways to do this you can do it in the xml the part that refrences the background image it also has the dpi settings for the background in it color what not u can add the transparency setting for it to..

or you can take your image in photo shop or equivlent and change the layer of the image to transparency and then adjust the hue of the transparency to make it lighter or darker depending on the color save it and put it back in the apk :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mex911:
Wow dang thats easy... man :) thank u bra im about to try it ....!!
[Galaxy S II General] SaneQ:
Ok i tried a few custom roms yesterday, but i think that stock rom is the best for me. So the problem is that i tried flashing KF3 NEE as that is the official rom atm here in scandinavia. When flashing is done, it stays in a boot loop. Last time i flashed it, i had no problems...

EDIT: Found a NEE KE2 rom, tryin to revert back to it.

EDIT2: Can't flash KE2 either, but it's strange that i can flash KH3.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
If you are bootlooping you will need to go into recovery (turn off, press vol up + home + power) and wipe data/cache, you will lose everything that you dont have backed up, then go into download mode and flash a rom via odin.

Or flash a stock or custom rom that wipes.
