[T-Mobile LG G2x] LReyes66:
i was about to make a thread but saw this and thought id fill in it.

Well my g2x has been quite dissappointing lately..

When i first got it, the battery life wasnt that bad. Even had data/refresh and Auto brightness and it would last almost all day.

But the past couple of months its been unbearable. I would have to charge my phone at any oppurtunity, even at work. After 100% charge i would check 30min later and it would be already at 83%.

I'm on the latest CM7 nightly, and have also tried juice defender (no use)

Im contemplating on just doing a CLEAN install of the nightly but i dont want to start all over again because its a pain.

Any input? Or is it just the crappy battery?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
It could be the battery. Your case is different from mine..

My battery is tested with Battery Monitor Widget, and it says my battery is about 1540mAh.

The thing I'm confused about is the battery drain.. It's quite high. 200mAh + at 216mhz
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Try clean install, don't use any of those scripts (like V6 SuperCharger), those are wakelock city.

Now, go into spare parts and check your partial wakelocks and uninstall apps that have huge wakelocks, facebook is a battery hog.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LReyes66:
clean install of cm7?

or clean wipe of phone back to factory then root/install cm7?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Clean install of the rom you're using.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chrisram88:
I was having horrible battery drainage also. I replaced the usb cable and ac charger and it made a huge difference. Faux kernel also helped alot. I get a little over 8 hrs with moderate to heavy use.

EDIT: wait that wasn't even related to the op but the other scenario.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
Yeah, I tried a clean install...

After clean install, the only app I installed was this. And boom high usage.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Wipe user data, /system, and dalvik cache. PM me if you're unsure where they are.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] BachanPandey:
I have the same issue on my G2x. I have replaced battery with a 1800mAH and a 3500mAH extended. But the drain is the same with every one of them.

Have tried FAUX's kernel with SetCPU and the recommended settings, but to no avail.

Did a clean install (wiped user/factory reset, dalvik, cache and did a format /system) of RG2x-MIUI v2.3.16 - SWIPE NOTIFICATIONS-Powered by Faux123 CM v0.4.8 yesterday.

Battery drains at the rate of 10% every hour when idle. Even with minimal usage (15mins call time, few txt, light browsing over 4G), the battery won't last more than 4-5hrs :(

One thing I am curious about, do you have to run a combination of kernel+ROM over a period of time to see if the battery performs any better or are the results instant?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Most people get better battery life on OTA based roms than CM7/AOSP. So MIUI may not provide enough juice for you, but try Bionix Reloaded and tell us the difference in battery.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] BachanPandey:
I has Bionix Reloaded before yesterday. The battery life was about the same, but the main issue that I was facing with Bionix was the switch from data-Wifi. For some reason, data had precedence over WiFi.

I can give it one more shot. Maybe a clean install would rectify that issue. DO you recommend any kernel/tweaks/setCPU settings etc with Bionix or just use it as such?

For the meanwhile, I have turned off GPS and using SetCPU 816/389 inscreen and 389/389 Off to see if there is any improvement.

I really don't care about the fancy part as long as I get battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
I recommend Faux's undervolted kernel, make sure its the one for GB btw. As for SetCPU settings (I uses CPU Master), I keep it at 216-816 most of the time, only raising it if I need it (such as Facebook, browsing, heavy games). I have the governor set to Performance.

Also, I don't have a screen off profile (but did have it set before) at 216-503 with Powersave governor, and my battery lasts more now that I took off the profile. The Tegra 2 has HW governors that more efficiently save battery than SW ones do. Not all CPUs are like this, so we are in for a treat.

Will give it a shot right now. Just to be sure about the kernel, we are talking abt this one:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nitrogen618:
That's not my problem. O;

My problem is that When the battery is 100%, no matter what task I DO, it only drains -2...

But with the same setting, at 30% battery, my battery drains from -300 to -1000
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Yes, that's the one. Flash away! ;)

HEY ALL

Just found this on eBay and thought I would share it with all of you. The seller has a few more left and at 50 bucks with free shipping it is an awesome deal.

Pooh can't post links yet but here is the item number 110815036565, enjoy!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mercdoc:
Just noticed that the seller is down to 1 left. I cannot wait to get mine and see how it works out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Noob_In_Recovery:
what is that
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nitephlight:
i got mine from the verizon store with employer discount for a bit more than 50, but at that price its definitely a good deal assuming you get your HDMI cable cheap. i ended up getting the bionic lapdock as well due to necessity but USB host without having to rig up your own solution is nice..

however.. i've never been able to get the IR remote to function. i've read it only works in certain apps maybe? anyone have any thoughts on that, maybe even using it through the car dock somehow?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mercdoc:
I got it last week and have messed with some and love it. The remote works great for me now, I forgot to remove plastic off of battery... LOL :eek: It didn't come with the hdmi cable but I had one already. The webtop is ok, can be a bit slow at times but if you are in a jam and need a "PC" it does just do it.

I love streaming Netflix with my phone docked since it's charger is able to keep the phone charged while using LTE. My stock charger doesn't keep up and my phone slowly discharges especially if I have hdmi hooked up. Oh, forgot I also have the OEM extended battery installed too.

The only thing I haven't tried yet is hooking up my external hard drive up to one of the USB ports and see if I can play my movies on it.

Battery life on the official RC is beyond amazing. I am using a crappy generic battery (to overcharge, random testing, etc), with that, on alpha builds of CM9 and beta-CM7, I get about 8 hours battery life, including idle (5 hours active?). Now on this I am at about 85%, 3.5 hours idle. To reiterate: simply amazing
[Atrix 4G General] sms2000:

This is the smoothest I have seen CM7 on the Atrix. I am using the Faux 1.0GHz 024 kernel with mild UV and the battery life is phenomenal so far.

FP scanner scans faster and instantly opens to home screen.

Everything appears more fluid.

I have had 2 random reboots since yesterday, but that's a minor inconvenience, as I was not doing anything when they happened.
[Atrix 4G General] stonefeet:
i got that too until the store (market) updated to the newest version, think i had to clear data/cache/force stop a few times before it started working correctly.

my guess is because we're flashing a gapps package without the play store in it.

Haven't seen this problem myself.

Not necessarily, I think the previous version was way more power efficient. With all the changes I've noticed and the horrible battery power this feels like someone messed up the update. Feels like a totally different ROM compared to 03102012 update. Is this RC1 the same for ALL CM7 supported phones?

I'll do some more testing, but I will probably flash the previous update until this RC final version is released. If everything runs fine, why update?

Must be your hardware then in some way, how you are setting your phone up, a rogue app, or a combination of all of the above. Have you bothered to find out what is eating your battery? As I said before, and I believe from what the majority have posted, this is a very stable build which runs extremely smoothly, and has great battery life.

Changelog is located here > https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/gingerbread/CHANGELOG.mkdn

CM base is same for all devices, but each device obviously has differences, (kernels, etc.), so CM releases will never be exactly the same across all devices.
[Atrix 4G General] abomb78:
I think the battery life is average for my use. I am a pretty heavy user so no matter what I have to recharge at least once a day. I think CM7.2 is pretty smooth though with Neutrino's current rom.

Sometimes it's just the right combination of ROM, kernel, voltage, running services, etc. I have very few apps running, even in the background, as I figure I don't need them until I need them, so why have them start up on boot and run in the background. System Tuner is a great tool for undervolting, preventing start ups, sdcard tweaks, and a whole host of other things. You should take a look at it if you haven't already.

I am looking to upgrade my current ROM to this RC1. However I have a few questions.

Since this is a release candidate, I take it it's pretty stable (for most), right? I read some really positive things about this RC1 when browsing this thread.

Is there an easy way to really clear your phone, almost formatting, your phone like new? I am asking this, because I note there are always some old stuff in the phone from previous ROM's, applications and other annoying stuff. And I really want to install this ROM to a near perfect stock / clean phone... Or if someone can point me to a good tutorial for this, that would also be nice.

I am guessing TitaniumBackup is still the tool to backup your application settings, right? I purchased it several months ago, but never really used it. And I am getting a bit tired of losing scores and stuff like that with games, not to mention application settings...

Thanks in advance for your replies.
[Atrix 4G General] Pentocrator:
I guess the best thing to do for a perfect wipe is to use "fastboot -w" when connected to fastboot, deep format the sdcard with your computer and then reformat with CWM recovery, and wipeall the partitions using the recovery. I can't see anything that would wipe your phone more than this. ^^

Titanium backup will restore all your apps and settings, but as you want to have a "factory-clean" phone, you should use it only for really important apps.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Please ignore the above post!

Fastboot -w only wipes userdata and cache.

The following needs to be done:

reboot to recovery

wipe dalvik

wipe cache

reboot to fastboot

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase webtop

fastboot erase preinstall

fastboot reboot (to recovery)

flash ROM

Anything on your sdcard (internal or external) which you do not want can be manually deleted/erased when connected to your computer.

Don't use TiBu to restore any system settings after installing a new ROM. Only use it for apps and app data restoration. Restoring system settings will cause all kinds of grief.
[Atrix 4G General] :
+ 1 on steps above. Do not back up and restore SYSTEM DATA using Titanium Backup. You will get Soft Bricked!!! :eek:
