[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
There's a great widget called CurrentWidget that let's you see, in milliamps, how much current is being pulled from the battery...Unfortunately the current version doesn't work with the Nitro (I've sent an email to the Dev).

A bit less scientific, but I think still a good indicator is heat. The temperature of the phone IS something that can be easily monitored. I use a widget called BatteryLife. The theory goes; the higher the current draw, the higher the temperature (or maybe it's more about the heat dissipation from the CPU, but that's still just as relevant)...So, the hotter the Nitro is = higher battery drain.

After I rooted my phone, but before really digging into removing bloat I was noticing that my phone seemed to be running kind of hot (~104-107F) and this was under light to medium usage (Facebook and browsing). And even when its' been in sleep mode for a while, coming out of it was still in the ~102F range.

After using nobloat and manually going through all the running services, now the temp is more in the mid to high 90s. Which still seems kind of high, but considering this is a dual-core I don't know if a bit more heat allowance should be assumed?
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
!! TURN OFF THE RADIO (aka Airplane Mode) !!

Since I'm working from home today, I'm right in front of my Router...No need for 4G LTE. So I put the phone in Airplane Mode to turn off the 4G radio.

Since doing so, it's been a couple of hours and my battery has only dropped a few % and the temperature is down in the low 90s (currently 92F).

I also got a response back from the CurrentWidget Dev, he said LG doesn't provide the current info on their phones. :(
[LG Nitro HD] red_solo_cup:
Doesn't airplane mode disable wifi?

Also, Battery Monitor Widget shows milliamps in/out for me.
[LG Nitro HD] hashhash:
do you think battery calibration would work on LG ? coz it says it removes the battery stats and creates a new one. i am going to give it a try.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Guys in LTE area, can you sacrifice one day and test APN setting from this topic:

How to disable LTE?

If your battery life increases with that, it would pretty much confirm that APN turns off LTE...

Thank you.

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

my understanding the battery calibration app simply deletes the stats file and OS recreates it on it's own, other words as long as you have root, you don't need that app. I could be wrong though.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------

Regarding the battery heat.

Today I let CPU ran at 192Mhz max (via SetCPU), it was crawling. Turned on tithering and listen radio on pc. The heat and drain was as bad when CPU set at max 1.5ghz. This proves that CPU itself doesn't play much at battery drain, it's the radio...
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
When you initially click the airplane mode, it disables the radio but only turns off the Wifi...You just have to click the wifi button to turn it back on (and the airplane mode stays active). Wish Android had an option so it ONLY disabled the radio and left the wifi alone.

The Battery Monitor Widget looks cool, but if I'm looking at and reading the details correctly...The mA readings are calculated, NOT realtime as reported by the phone (which, as that Dev said, LG doesn't provide). You can see this because when the app initially installs, it's shows a '0mA' reading until the battery charge state changes...Then it does its' lovely calcs and spits out an mA reading.
[LG Nitro HD] gordec:
Turning off LTE doesn't change battery life much.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
If you are referring to the APN settings, then perhaps it doesn't actually turns LTE off?
[LG Nitro HD] pps200:
It's horrible that it can only play a film less than 4 hours.:(

But I think the big problem is the rom.
[LG Nitro HD] gordec:
Yeah good point. I don't know if there is a separate radio for 3G and LTE or they are build into the same radio. I don't know why turning off LTE is a default option from LG. Poor design.
[LG Nitro HD] dnorthington:
It is one radio and it's a good design. Less power usage that way. VZ LTE phones have two radios. One for voice and one for data. Both have to be powered. With the ATT phones, because HSPA+ is compatible with LTE, the phone switches between the two depending on whether or not its voice or data. You could just use HSPA+ for data, but then why not just get a GS2?
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
Alright, so just now was the 2nd time I have to reboot the Nitro for it to correctly report the battery charge status.

I just got done playing about 20min of a game I KNOW cause the Nitro to eat a lot of juice...But when I was done the battery stat showed at 94% (WAY TOO GOOD to be true). So I rebooted and low and behold, the battery is actually at only 5% !!

Several times as well the battery icon in the notify bar doesn't animate when plugged in. I'm not liking all this wackiness, here's to the Nitro getting onto CyanogenMod asap!
[LG Nitro HD] slatestud:
Switched to the original galaxy s2 and i'm glad I did. Battery life has been much much better. Its sad though because I miss the nitro's screen. What's a, screen though when the battery is dead.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
IMO this phone is slim enough for a larger battery with new back cover..as soon as they available.
[LG Nitro HD] gordec:
I have been using ADW Ex launcher for the past week. The battery seems to be improved. Get at least 15 hours with moderate use, everything turned on.
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
Totally agree. My smaller 3.8" Nexus One is 133g, my Nitro 4.5" is a few grams more at 136g. A higher capacity battery would be welcome, and wouldn't add too much heft (IMO).
[LG Nitro HD] mdkrush:
I got the Nitro HD and the bat does suck... I read about disableing the LTE and useing HSPA+ only... Anyone heard of that?
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
I've read the CPU is native 1.5Hz. It's not overclocked. Pretty nice gpu as well, adreno 220
[LG Nitro HD] Reviewers:
I'm not sure for you but my upcoming ROM will increase your battery life 3x hours or more than that.
[LG Nitro HD] HotWhipT/A:
That would be really sweet! Details? Although, being new this stuff looks really complicated. I don't have a clue what I'd be doing.
[LG Nitro HD] Reviewers:
I'll be modding a few script's and adding a few script's and editing file's to increase the battery life and much more. Domination HD will be released soon.
[General Questions and Answers] kusher1:
I have an unbranded tablet running Android 2.3.4 that is unlocked but not rooted (I can't get superuser to work or busy box to install) that I trying to do some hardware/OS related work with and need help. In specific, I am trying to get a USB keypad to work (recognizes keypad but keys do random things and doesn't really work). I believe this requires some ICS libraries (official support added in ICS). I am also having difficulty getting the unit to find a GPS lock using a 3g network (no on board GPS support, but it should be able to find a rough lock using 3g and/or wifi and I don't know why it isn't). In general the hardware is decent but the software is buggy crap, making what could be a decent device crap. I also need some of the default functions for the onboard buttons changed (I think this is build.prop?) We have a kinda random and specific use for these tablets and I have hunted all over for someone to help me and have found a lot of JAVA programmers and not true blue linux/android hardware devs. I understand this is such a specific piece of hardware and unfortunately the work we do won't be able to be shared by a lot of people. If anyone can help me though, I will gladly donate to their cause and/or buy them a few cups of coffee. I would also perhaps be willing to let you keep one of the tablets to play with (they're actually pretty cool). If this is something you can help me with PM me and we can go from there. I am in Dallas, so someone near by wouldn't hurt! Thanks!

PS Please let me know if I have broken any XDA rules here. I have 3 cell phones and a rooted nook color, so needless to say I'd rather not get banned...
[Huawei Ideos X6] coolhunk4o2:
There are threads on this site and elsewhere showing the steps to boot ubuntu on android phones. Our Ideos X6 comes with a powerful hardware so i believe we can run ubuntu on it. But it seems that the kernel must support loop devices. Can anyone make a custom kernel supporting loop devices.

Or has anyone successful in running Ubuntu on Ideos X6.
[Huawei Ideos X6] Leasg:
Our kernel have support for loop device. Take this little instruction how install ubuntu oneiric, also the same process for debian just write distribution name and correct url in debootstrap.

1. this stage you must complete on your linux pc.

#debootstrap part on PC
sudo apt-get install debootstrap
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=ubuntu.img seek=838860800 bs=1 count=1
sudo mke2fs -F ubuntu.img
sudo mkdir ubuntu
sudo mount -o loop ubuntu.img ubuntu/

sudo debootstrap --arch armel --foreign oneiric ubuntu http:/ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/
sudo umount ubuntu
sudo rm -r ubuntu

2. push this ubuntu.img to sdcard on your phone.

adb push ubuntu.img /sdcard/ubuntu.img

3. create this script as ubuntu.sh on your sdcard too

echo "Setting some stuff up.."
export bin=/system/bin
export img=/mnt/sdcard/ubuntu.img
export mnt=/data/local/ubuntu
export PATH=$bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH
export TERM=linux
export HOME=/root
mkdir $mnt

echo "Mounting the Linux Image"
busybox losetup /dev/block/loop7 $img
mount -t ext2 -o noatime,nodiratime /dev/block/loop7 $mnt
mount -t devpts devpts $mnt/dev/pts
mount -t proc proc $mnt/proc
mount -t sysfs sysfs $mnt/sys

echo "Setting Up Networking"
busybox sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > $mnt/etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 8.8.4.4" >> $mnt/etc/resolv.conf
echo "127.0.0.1 localhost" > $mnt/etc/hosts

echo "Mounting sdcard in /mnt"
mkdir $mnt/mnt/sdcard
busybox mount --bind /mnt/sdcard/ $mnt/mnt/sdcard

echo "Entering CHROOT "
echo " "
busybox chroot $mnt /bin/bash
echo " "
echo "Shutting down CHROOT"
umount $mnt/mnt/emmc
umount $mnt/mnt/sdcard
busybox sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=0
umount $mnt/dev/pts
umount $mnt/proc
umount $mnt/sys
umount $mnt
busybox losetup -d /dev/block/loop7

4. So now we connect to device, run superuser permission, and chroot to ubuntu

sudo adb shell
su
sh /sdcard/ubuntu.sh

5.run continue deboostrap

/debootstrap/debootsrap --second-stage

6. setup apt

echo 'deb http:/ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ oneiric main' >/etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get clean
apt-get update

7. add root password

passwd root

8. exit from ubuntu shell with 'exit' and run it again sh /sdcard/ubuntu.sh from terminal emulator on your device or via adb shell.

So, now ubuntu install successfully on your phone and you may install openssh and vnc server.

P.S. http:/ correct it with two //, I can't push correct link to forum. its denied post urls.

[Huawei Ideos X6] Leasg:
Possbile what loop7 device already busy on your phone.

ry this command to see it

busybox losetup

And try manual steps which in script to see which step is failed.
[Huawei Ideos X6] coolhunk4o2:
When I type

#busybox losetup

nothing happens

when i type

#busybox losetup /dev/block/loop7 /mnt/sdcard/ubuntu.img
losetup: /dev/block/loop7

#mount -t ext2 -o noatime,nodiratime /dev/block/loop7 /data/local/ubuntu
mount: Device or resource busy

the second line is the outputfrom the command.
[Huawei Ideos X6] Leasg:
Do you phone have block devices in /dev/block/ ?
[Huawei Ideos X6] coolhunk4o2:
just checked using root explorer. there are many loop# files in /dev/block folder
[Huawei Ideos X6] Leasg:
You may try with UC kernel, or try with ext3 file system. I suppose what your kernel without support ext2.
[Huawei Ideos X6] coolhunk4o2:
i tried with UC v5. It supports ext2,ext3 and ext4. Still getting same error.

Should i convert my android filesystem to ext2,3,0r 4. If yes how to do it?
[Huawei Ideos X6] Leasg:
No, you don't need do converting. Problem with loop device or mount, try to see busybox losetup after mount image to block device, it's must show what image mounted to block device. If it's ok, try different option for mount.

I don't have anymore ideas why it doesn't work.

This scenario successful work on my phone.
[Huawei Ideos X6] coolhunk4o2:
Can you tell me what ROM you are using
[Huawei Ideos X6] Leasg:
Last rom from wellcom (2.3-V318E)
[Huawei Ideos X6] coolhunk4o2:
now it works. Installed ubuntu. But i am now unable to install any package. when i try to install tightvncserver i get error message

E: Unable to locate package tightvncserver

actally i am not able to install any package

i have checked the /etc/apt/sourcels.list and it contains the required entry and i also did

apt-get clean

apt-get update

and it updates without any error
[Huawei Ideos X6] Leasg:
You need add another repositories to /etc/sources.list such as universe, multiverse, restricted with the same path.

Hi guys! Btw i know theres a post about how to remap the 3d button to open camera; however, I was wondering if I could remap it to do 2 dif things. You know how in stock, if you press the 3d button when ur in anything but camera you go to the 3d center w/e? And then if ur in camera app and you press 3d button it changes 2d / 3d? Well i was wondering its possible to remap this button so that if ur anywhere besides the camera, and you press the 3d button, it will go to the camera, and when ur in the camera app and you press the 3d button, it will act as a shutter. Thanks!!!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
Considering that the seller is lying about the retail price of the 16gb ($499 not $599), I'd say avoid this one. If you're not going to get a warranty, make sure the price makes up for the risk. $100 off wouldn't cut it for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sinhumane:
It mightve been too good to be true, or someone just needing the cash fast, but I just paid 225 cash for my gtab 10.1 brand new in the box. Still had the plastic on front and back, headphones and cables were minty. :D

So I would say 100 off for a used one isn't worth it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] le14:
I recently had some issues with my phone and tmobile sent me a new one but I have to send this one back within 7 days.

I was rooted and flashed to beastMOD2.5 and I used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1323878 to get back to the unrooted, stock rom. I thought this would put me back at out the box status so tmobile would not know if I was rooted or not. I restarted the phone and upon startup, I get the Gray Synergy Kernel screen, then it proceeds to boot up just as it does when I got it from T-mobile.

My question is, how do I get that to not pop up, or how do I get this phone back to complete UNROOTED status? Mind you that I am unrooted as of now and do not have CWR since it was not included in the stock rom I used.

Any help would be great! (Please step by step instructions, my first android lol)
