Because your phone slows down when it gets below 100mb, don't bother arguing that because i know from experience that my o2x slows down and becomes choppy when the free ram goes below 100mb, because there is so much crap stored in memory.

If i need something to run ill run it and leave it there and exclude it from task manager but other wise its no use.

Its also a huge battery drain to have so many apps running that you are not using so that's a pretty stupid statement...."free ram is waste ram" lol wtf...., your battery life must be really long.

As for OP, i suggest you install a better rom, i use topigigis 1.7 rom and after killing a bunch of tasks i get up to 205mb free, altho this gets less the longer it goes without a reboot, so try rebooting and hen killing some useless tasks and see what your ram level is at.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Free ram

is

wasted ram. And taskkillers will only make you battery life worse if not some app is using all the cpu. The reason RAM is used by android is to keep apps preloaded, for better launch times. The built in task handler is all what is needed. My phone runs blazingly fast at all times, and I don't use a taskkiller.
[LG Optimus 2x] fifi139:
yupe.. Mine is mostly below 100mb.. 70mb on average. but it's smoother than froyo with 140mb.. list of applications and files are faster to load and smoother.. so i have no complain at all.
[LG Optimus 2x] kosi2801:
I'm also experiencing the lower free memory in the default configuration with GB compared to Froyo. Although I'm not trying to get as much free RAM as possible (because I support the reasons given above for usage of the RAM, having apps in there doesn't mean that they're running) I'm still curious where the missing amount of memory went... Does anybody have any clue what was introduced or changed with GB that could use up about 70MB?
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Oh really and what is your logic for thinking having no unused apps running will use more battery than having lads running.....you make no sense an have no logic or fact to back up such a ridiculas assumption.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Clearly you've been on cm7 so long you forgot how bad stock is..

Stock firmware for my phone was horrible and backgrounding was working for only seconds due to lack of ram, Opera would never background, always a new boot.

Cm7 > stock

I m on stock v20 ROM. Sometime my fone will b sluggish and it seems like e low RAM is causing it. Also wondering where e RAM went After upgrading.

And there's a bug in original stock kernel about memory management, horse power kernels are better for that.
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Its not just about the rom your choosing its about the kernel, flash a good kernel and it will improve memory usage.
[LG Optimus 2x] cheeese:
So does flashing custom kernel void e warranty and does it need rooting? Which is e best kernel for stock ROM v20?

Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
Yes most of the time and Yes. Some providers accept phone customization in warranty, ask yours.

If you have v20L you only have Horse Power kernel (Neoblaze seems bootloop) + Power pack 7 (mandatory, orbootloop, see dedicated threads).
[LG Optimus 2x] kosi2801:
If I reflash my phone using one of the original images availabe and reset it, is there any chance for the provider to detect previous flash operations?
[LG Optimus 2x] luka2858:
Befor i flashed hp sr2 i had 70 to 90 mb free ram now i had 130 to 150 free ram and my baterry seems better.
[LG Optimus 2x] kosi2801:
I'd tend to relate the better battery life to the new kernel than the increased free ram. I'm on RC9 (w. PP7, no init.d-scripts) and my LGOS reaches almost two days of battery standby with ~50-60MB free RAM.
[LG Optimus 2x] KillerbeeNL:
free ram is waisted ram.

if apps are in ram there's less battery use than starting apps from sd etc.

apps that drain battery in background should be stopped or abandoned from phone...there no good.

about less ram with GB... compare windows XP and Win7...that's why there's less ram..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Aestetics:
Is there a way to get the lock screen before the pattern screen?

for me, when i hit the wake button, it goes straight to the pattern screen. If i turn the pattern screen lock off, and i hit the wake button, it goes to the lock screen.

I just want it so that if i hit the wake button it would go lock screen then pass word pattern screen
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
Pretty sure you can only have one or the other.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gman87:
That's weird. Mine always prompts the lock screen then my pattern screen. Thought this process was default.

Could try this. Go into settings>CM settings> lockscreen> unlock options

If skip on security is checked then uncheck it. That should prompt the lockscreen then pattern screen upon wake

Why do people assume that everyone is using CM. I am on Weapon and your answer means nothing.

[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
Well, I got one today. haven't really done much with it yet but figured you'd at least like to know this....

performance-wise(navigation, app handling, etc)... it doesn't seem to be much faster then an overclocked TB.

"Beats By Dre" - the 'enhancements' only work with the stock Beats Music player, which is really just some cuatom EQ setting built into the app. I tested the headphones on the Rezound and on my Sansa Sandisk MP3 player w/ the EQ set the way I like it. the headphones ended up sounding better/louder on the Sansa as well as the bass hit harder.

and I have this delightful dead pixel on the screen(not to mention the buttons light up pink)

so obviously, there's no rush to upgrade your Thunderbolt yet(unless you fancy the pink)
[Thunderbolt General] Ol' Blue:
This is good information since I just picked up my T-bolt last week for a whole lot less money than the Rezound. On a sad note, it got it's first scratch on it this morning as it flew under my seat from taking a curve too fast. :eek: Screen protector and case that I ordered two days ago is still in the mail. :(
[Thunderbolt General] mthe0ry:
I was in the store the other day and played with the Rezound. I agree that it is not much smoother than the TB when overclocked, and I personally have my doubts about Android's ability to utilize a dual core CPU period, so I was not expecting the performance to blow me away. Quadrant was similar to the performance of an OC thunderbolt as well. Again, cite the inability to use both cores efficiently. Quadrant does have quite a few flaws, but it was the best available given the circumstances.

All of that said, THE reason to own a Rezound without any doubt in my mind is the display. What I saw of the display thoroughly impressed me, the high PPI and clarity was pretty astounding.

So, if I bought one and had a dead pixel I would be really, really pissed and demand a refurb or take it back in the 14 day grace period, because thats like buying a benz and finding out its a body kit on a honda.
[Thunderbolt General] scottthreet32:
Take it back point out flaw demand another new phone.once you get past 14 days your screwed with remans
[Thunderbolt General] Ol' Blue:
I thought about that, but I would hate to get a referb for a small scratch on the kickstand.
[Thunderbolt General] scottthreet32:
Dead pixels,something other then cosmetic
[Thunderbolt General] Ol' Blue:
It is running good and I am getting good battery life after some adjustments, so I don't have anything to complain about, except for my stupidity. I have read where some people have had problems with the finish peeling on the kickstand. They just polished it off, so I may end up doing that later.

[Thunderbolt General] hogasswild:
I just got my Thunderbolt a few weeks back to replace my battle hardened Droid X. I have to say that the Thunderbolt is very smooth and fast. This is the first time I decided not to go with a phone on its release date to save money in awhile. My only complaint is battery life but I just ordered the Rezound battery for $20 from Verizon. We'll see how that does.
[Thunderbolt General] jbh00jh:
After a week my phone has not had any problems and there is nothing wrong with my screen. The system runs much smoother and faster because of the extra available memory and dual processor. The audio is a lot better. Once all the bloatware is gone it should be blazing fast and you should have close to 500mgs free memory. I never had any problems with my TBolt , but I really think this is a great phone and a good upgrade. When it's rooted the sky's the limit.

[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
it should work just consider all the testing that was done with the thunderbolt
[Motorola Triumph] Digglersdv:
Straight to the point.

Battery was fully charged, took the phone apart down to the front display, put it back together, when it first booted I got a notification saying something about "battery parameters" and there was two choices to choose from but didn't quite see everything because it shut off. I plugged my phone in with a brand new wall charger and turned it on, I only get a empty battery w/ red lightning bolt?? I can only boot into recovery when it's disconnected, so I formatted everything, tried to restore but nothing. Only thing I noticed was when I selected "Download nb0 from sdcard" I did'nt have a sd card in and it said "Battery capacity is 0%, Battery capacity is lower then 20%. Please charge, try again". I checked my battery with a meter and it still says it's charged? I searched the forums but couldn't find a thread that was as nearly complicated as mine. Sorry Im a noob also :(

BUT THANKS ANYWAYS!! :)
[Motorola Triumph] AndroidJK23:
I've had a similar problem with the red thunderbolt, though it didn't seem quite as complicated as your dilemma. I actually switched batteries with a very trusting someone who had the same exact phone (triumph) and charged my phone and hers to 100%. Then we switched back the batteries and both phones worked normally again. I don't know if this will help, but I do hope you solve your phone's issue. If anything, we all have warranty for a few more months...
[Motorola Triumph] Digglersdv:
Thanks for your advice :) Ill have to order a battery to see cause I don't know anyone else with this phone. I'v also had the phone for about 6 months so I'm sure there is no warranty still.

Hello, I worked in the past with The OG Droid, HTC Incredible, HTC Thunderbolt in a Team environment and solo. I began my work with Kernels and later moved on to work with JRummy and N8Dyddy in Lithuimmod. That was back in the day "ha". Altough the last kernel work I did publicly was with the HTC Thunderbolt I have continued to follow the world of Android very closely.

Today I am inviting all Kernel and Theme developers to post their work in my new app that will soon be released to the Market. The app will be a centralized location for just Themes and Kernels to be downloaded and brief info about the work. I know time is valuable, my intent is to cut down the time to find the latest and greatest, offering these hard working developers another channel for their work to shine, not taking away from this wonderful forum of course. I enjoy the forums and only truly enjoy them when I am home from work with a drink and can take in all the info.

I look forward to hearing from all .Thank you and it feels good to be back.

Developers please send me your info i.e

Device,Build info and any other relevant information.

Video just comparing the cases....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV0vAQtOfns

Droidax 1650mAh Battery Case: The worst out of the 3. I only get approx. 30% extra battery when I should be at least 75% based on its stats. This is my second case from the mfg. because I had the same issue with the first one. My opinion is that they need to use better components when making the case such as a better battery. I DO NOT RECOMMEND this case. If they upgrade the internals then maybe I would change my opinion, but until then. Hell I would pay more for it if I new it was of better quality because I do like the design of it.

Powerskin: I just received it and I will test it and report back. First impressions is that it looks to be made well, but it's also the largest out of the 3

Ebay 3500mAh with Battery Cover: OK $8.99 I should stop right there, but I wont. So I have gone through 1 full cycle and it lasted 1day 7hours with moderate use. The next couple of charge cycles should even improve my time as the battery breaks in. So far no boot loops. I charged it with the car charger, the regular phone charger, a BlackBerry Charger, and now my Computer as I type this. Awesome, so awesome I ordered a second one just for the hell of it this morning (also I want to see if the second one has any issues). The great thing is it comes from NYC and I'm not to far from there so I get it quick.. The cover fits great as well, really no issues when it comes to that.

Link to the battery:

I'm currently running one but I would like to very another due to the cheap price... Am external charger for the spare 3500 would be very beneficial.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BigDogPooh:
I was thinking about it, but right now I have no issues with charging it in my phone. Once I get the second battery I ordered I may get a charger...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BigDogPooh:
Quick Update...

So far I'm very impressed with my 3500mAh extended battery. Its performing great. I'm charging it for the third time since I got it and have had no problems with boot loops or anything else. Its been lasting 2 full days with moderate to heavy usage.

The Powerskin I have used once and it only gave me a 40% increase in charge to my phone. I will test it some more, but in all reality I will probably return it because its very big in comparison to everything else that's out there and a 40% lift in battery for $70 is not good. Maybe it will perform better the second time around. We will see!

Buyer beware: I've just installed mine and the phone boot loops. And since it doesn't come with an external charger, I have no way to charge this. Will be returned.

Ouch, thanks a lot for reporting on here. Just saved me $15. I think i will order the 8.99 bat the op has.

Quick question op, you never mentioned how your phone performed battery wise without any modification. I just want to know what to expect with the extended battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BigDogPooh:
I'm on unnamed rom, I keep sync off unless I need it and on light days I'll have about 16-17 hours on battery and the phone will be at approx 70%. On heavy days and that's when I'm really trying to drain the battery I'll have the same amount of time on the battery but be down to about 5-6% battery. Heavy use is gaming upon gaming, internet, and video use. I have 2 of these batteries and I feel I get a slightly better performance out of the second one. I'm sure these are not a true 3500mAh but for the $8 and no boot loops its definitely worth the investment..

I have been debating about trying the Mugen 3200mAh, but the $98 price tag seems a little steep....

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SprigganMaster:
You can probably use adb or Terminal Emulator (Free on market) directly on your phone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter tham:
Dear SprigganMaster,if I use terminal emulator,what was the initial command?

Cause the 'sh' file I move from system,it seem like a script ,and when I open the scree of emulator,I can't type any things...

For your info,I move the 'sh' file from /system /bin/ folder to my SD card /folder.

by using apk root explore,as a result,without the 'sh' script file in /system/bin folder,when I can't access to root explore anymore-force close.

Then I can't move back the 'sh' file to the system/bin folder.

All those root apk does not work anymore...

Now,I am trying my best to get a way to move back the 'sh' file (which is read only file) to my system folder...

Can u guide me about it? Using terminal emulator or any alternative way to move back the file into system?

Waiting your prompt reply and really appreciate it.

Thankz....^^
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SprigganMaster:
Hello peter tham,

Please note : my phone is not rooted. I can't try these solutions and I'm quite new to android. Maybe someone with more experience could help you.

I'm not sure if Terminal Emulator use the sh file too but we can try...

To move file, the command is mv.

To copy a file, the command is cp.

Adapt this command with the correct folder where you put the sh file :

cp /FOLDER/sh /system/bin/

You will need to be root to copy a file to /system folder.

Usually, to gain root privileges, you use the command su.

If Terminal Emulator does not work, you can try with adb.

1- Download sh file to your computer.

2- open a shell (on windows : cmd, on linux whatever you're using as shell)

3- plug your phone in Charge Only mode with USB debuging On

4- Push the file with a command like this one :

adb push foo.txt /sdcard/foo.txt

adb push <local> <remote>

You can find more info on adb here :

I didn't even know it existed until I was messing around with my camera in the dark last night and could see it in the picture. Since then I have come across topics talking about the problem, and I almost feel like more phones have it than don't have it. I am getting tired of exchanging these phones. I started with a skyrocket then exchanged it for another skyrocket after the screen got really scratched up after about 10 hours of owning it and barely even touching it. I then exchanged the second skyrocket for the sg2 because it was $100 cheaper and I read that the sg2 is actually a more powerful phone. I was extremely happy with my choice until I noticed the the screen on my phone appeared to not be set properly. The bottom portion of the screen was about flush with the bezel while the top was recessed into the bezel. This phone was perfect until I came across the spotting issue. This is honestly something I could live with since I will rarely be in a situation where I will see it, but it is annoying that samsung can't get their QC straight. The thought crossed my mind to just get my money back and hope that the nexus comes out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TXFLGO05:
Return it directly to Samsung if you are having that much of a problem, I have never encountered anyone directly who has had the same problem but you do have some recourse to c.y.a.

I'd take it back to the store you got it at, and if they aren't willing to do something you should be able to send it to Samsung to get it repaired/replaced.

Good luck!

So I just leave it.
