Yeah I know BMW measures temp, but when you look at the graph does it show any fluctuation at all? BMW gets the temperature information from the battery's built-in temperature sensor. If it doesn't have one, all the graph will show is a straight line.

This GTMax battery gets pretty warm. Especially when charging. I'm charging it right now and the temperature is about 41C... which is hotter than the stock.

I'm definitely leaning towards this anker battery now
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Those estimates aren't correct. My JD was telling me 1.9x battery, but I stopped using it and my battery lasts longer because the phone doesn't wake up every thirty minutes.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bladedwings:
That's actually kind of strange. I figured the 1.5-2.0x was inaccurate since I only noticed a small increase in life, but the increase in life is still there. All it does is turn off connections when you're not using them, so I don't see how that could make life worse.

I think your battery/phone is trying to start conflict between us because whenever something comes up battery related, we have different experiences haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Lol yeah, it would be better if you got a ton of notifications every few minutes, but if there are times where you won't get any for hours on end, but juice defender keeps waking up your phone every 30 minutes to check for nothing, it's wasting battery.

Do you mind posting a few screenshots of your battery usage once your phone is almost completely discharged?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NekoNyapii:
Well, if you don't let JD control AutoSync, then it shouldn't wake up every half hour, right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
No. The every half hour is the schedule I have it set to, either way you have to set a schedule, whether it be 15 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.

Sorry I've been away. Had some personal stuff going on.

Sure. One thing I've noticed is that my idle time seems to be kind of high, but I guess since I'm sleeping 8 hour nights at least twice, that may account for some of it.

Also it's weird that Temple Run and Draw Something show up, yet Defender 2, which I spend the most time playing doesn't appear on my list at all.

Eh. Whatever.

I'm at 19% now, so I'll probably screenshot it a little later today and get it up here.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bladedwings:
BMW doesn't make any sense to you because you're on the wrong graph. Long-press the graph and then "Select Data" and then "Available(%)". That way it'll show the graph you would normally see if you were accessing the stock battery graph in your phone settings, except without resetting every time you shutdown/recharge your phone.

Your battery definitely seems better than my 3500mAh one, but I'm pretty much going to use it the same way; I'll use the stock for normal days, and the extended whenever I know I'm going to be doing a lot of stuff without access to a charger.

Oh and before I forget, BMW is completely inaccurate in estimating the capacity of my extended battery. They both read around 1500, yet the extended lasts me about 33-35h on relatively heavy use (my normal usage plus a lot of GPS) while the stock lasts about 20h on normal usage. The extended clearly has over 150% of the capacity my stock has, but BMW displays it as almost identical. I think I'm doing something wrong, but there isn't really much you can do in the first place, so I really don't know what's responsible for these readings
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sinister.dexter:
<snip>

Perfect! Thanks for the tip!

What's interesting to me is that after using it for a week, it finally started giving me estimates. But it estimated ~1800 mAh +/- 11%. But since it consistently gives me 36-44 hours of use, I'm going to say the battery is pretty close to "as advertised."

I can definitely say it doesn't report temperature. It's a constant "25.1" and we all know that's wrong.

I keep saying I'm going back to stock, but I haven't pulled it yet. lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Solace50:
do these require a different cover to compensate for the increased battery size or does it work properly with the stock cover?

someone mentioned the stock case acts as a gps antenna which with the new baseband and all i removed the back panel and kinda wondered "where" the connectivity to the phone was because i see plastic. also it locked fine without the back cover so not sure what to make of that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bladedwings:
The larger batteries do require a different case. They essentially double the thickness of your phone. As for the stock cover acting as an antenna, I don't know anything about that; this is actually the first time I've actually heard of this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sinister.dexter:
Yes, they require a larger back, which comes with the battery. See the review - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24984472&postcount=16

I have no idea how a plastic case would act as an antenna. This may be the case for some phone out there, but its certainly not the case with the G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aaCotyaa:
I know some phones a additional connections fixed to the back of the back cover for use of 4G. Never heard of anything like that in regards to GPS.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h3r3tic:
Hey guys the more i use my note daily it seems I'm hating battery life already. I basically have all features turned off and the screen brightness at its lowest. my battery usage is saying about 2 hours and 45 mins of screen on time till completely dead over an 8 hour period. What's the usual you guys are seeing on this. For only actually using the phone for about 3 hours with no games or special notifications or refreshes. Wifi is off I'm under clocked to 1.1. The battery is atrocious. I know its not made for battery life but being it has a larger battery then any cell and a little smaller then the razr Maxx i expect a little more. Makes me think there is a problem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Plexicle:
A couple of things come to mind:

1) Have you checked CPU spy to make sure you're going into deep sleep? (are you aware of the bug with disconnecting the charger while the phone is sleeping?)

2) Are you in an area with LTE and WiFi most of the day? I know it's opposite of what we're used to, but we've learned that the WiFi radio actually uses far less power than the LTE radio. Just something to think about. :P

Just some thoughts. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
When mine goes into deep sleep I loose 1% per hour (wifi off, data on). I agree you need to get CPU Spy to be sure yours is going to sleep. When the charge wakelock problem occurs I'll loose 3% per hour - that adds up to 1/3 of the total battery during a 12 hour day. The work-around so far is to make sure you wake the phone AND unlock it before unplugging it. Most people only seem to have a problem with non-stock chargers and charging from USB ports.

The single biggest battery user is the screen. I highly recommend using Screen Filter and setting up a Widget set to 75% to use indoors and during cloudy days (then another Widget set to 30% for dark rooms - and turn it completely off for full sun). LED screens use less energy the darker they are, which is why this helps. I go into it in detail here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544757

Then there is the overnight charging problem (not related to the issue in the first paragraph). Once the phone hits 100% it only trickle charges for a little while. You know when the trickle charge has ended because that's when the "unplug me" nag comes up if your phone is on, or the screen comes back on for a few seconds showing a full battery icon if the phone is off. Once this happens it stops charging - so if your battery was almost full the night before you could hit this stage by 12 or 1 am, then it will start to run down again so the next morning it will appear to discharge fairly rapidly. If your phone is heavily discharged the night before you might not hit this point until 3-4 am (or later if you are using a non-stock charger or USB port), so the battery really will be nearly full the next morning and it won't appear to discharge as fast. The only way to get around the problem is to boot in the morning and then leave it plugged in for 15-30 minutes, or if it is already on, unplug and then re-plug it. Either way it will re-start the charging process and top off properly. The stock charging algorithm is just too conservative IMO. It should cycle the trickle charge mode on and off for up to 8 hours to ensure overnight charges really give you a full battery the next day, and not a battery that is only 96% full. Right now it allows the battery to drain back to 95% before automatically starting the charge process over. So ironically the less you use your phone the day before the less battery you'll have the next day if you don't top it off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h3r3tic:
I'm going into deep sleep immediately if i leave my phone off the charger over night prolly 6-8 hours I'll only lose maybe 3 percent at most with wifi on. My standby time is awesome its my on screen time that's the problem. I don't have lte available where i live yet. My phone is always at 98 percent max after charging. I did check out a screen filter before but do i seriously need for my 750 dollar phone to look like sh*t to make it through a day? I jumped from a 4s to here where i got at least 20 standby and 6 plus hours screen time before charging with medium auto brightness full notifications enabled. Granted it is a smaller screen but its also smaller battery with what i would think is more draining data features. I thought led screens were supposed to draw a lot less power? My basic reason for the post is wanting to know what everyone else was concluding from average use of screen time before needing a charge. 3 hours of screen time is like two movies and my phone is dead. What's the point of a big screen cell if i always need to charge it after light use every few hours. Its basically a tv at that point which is always plugged in.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Which is why I recommended Screen Filter. It doesn't make your screen look like crap, applying a light filter (like the 75% I recommended) just dims it down a little. It works along with the stock auto-brightness feature, too. Using this I get 4 hours of screen time with 15-16 hours total run time. Most people report 3-3 1/2 hours of screen time w/o using Screen Filter. You won't get 6 hours - count the number of pixels on your old phone compared to this one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 05GT:
With no tweaks other than lowering the brightness I'm averaging right at 4hrs of screen time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
i get about 4-3 hours of screen time with my overall screen time ranging from 10-16 hours depending on what else im am doing.

i also have profiles set up to keep my cpu in check while in call or screen off. i keep my phone on 100% brightness ALL the time as well. so if i did choose to dim it i could probably squeeze more life out of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h3r3tic:
Ya I'm at 27 percent right now 13 hours on battery about 2 hours of screen time with screen filter at 64 percent the phone brightness all the way dim. I can't see 4 hours if i tried. I dunno what the hell is wrong. What roms are you guys running? Any refreshes on face book tango scramble with friends etc. i lost about 5 percent over night with everything on. I'm using go launcher and handcent sms mostly occasional Facebook checks and fancy weather widget i use system tuner on demand 192-1.5. with screen off on 192-718 max and call settings. I drop like a percent like every 2 mins it seems when the screen is on. Also I'm on unofficial alpha 2

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Spider_Pig27:
So I've had all the Custom Rom's for our phone flashed on my phone and for some reason I always get mixed nor poor GPS signal on my phone... I am aware of the GPS trick for ICS and I've done it but no matter if I do fresh install or just a regular flash I always get messed up GPS! Sometimes I even get throwned of course and says I'm in some other state...I never get anything more then 20 meters accuracy... and on my wife's phone she gets up to 2 meters on accuracy.. and not only that but the colors on my wife's E4GT are more vivid and darker and beautiful.. we did get a replacent from sprint though but they said it was a new phone not a refurbish but idk... so I'm wondering if anyone here in the E4GT community has experienced this and if they fixed it and how... thanks in advanced..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
I'm not sure what kind of GPS tweak you've tried but can you try attached one?

Attached GPS.conf file is from agat's tFC24 Rom and it works great! Before placing this file into /system/etc folder, back up your current file.

For your screen color, there could be two chances -

you've changed the display mode (vivid, standard, movie) or screen protectors are different between you and your wife's phone.

(I don't think you missed the display brightness option - comparing screen under the same brightness level, right?)

To use the gps.conf file, you need to unzip the file first and replace the existing file on /system/etc folder.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Spider_Pig27:
Thank you so much... what rom does this come from?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
Again, attached was a tweaked version and I extracted it from tFC24 ROM by agat.

Because gps.conf is kind of indepedent part, you can use it almost in any rom.

The current version of agat rom is based on fd05 and he calls it tFD05. But this rom does not have this tweak. So I manually applied gps.conf after I flashed tFD 05 rom.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 12345Doug:
So I've had my NT (16GB) since Christmas and have been rooted and OTA blocked since the beginning. Now that CM7 is available and relatively stable, CM9 is getting there I am soliciting some advice on how best to proceed. I have purchased several Children's Books from B&N and have, much to my chagrin, noticed that they are only viewable on the NT (probably NC too but I don't have one of those). I got the NT because I wanted a cheap good tablet, I also want to support B&N through purchases from them for content as much as possible, but let's face it I'm not buying the same apps multiple times. So what to do.....

Option 1. (Currently Evaluating) - I purchased a class 10 32gb SD card and put an ROM on there (CM7). I just completed this step last night and I am still playing about. There seems to be noticeable lag though in starting apps and browsing/playing around in general. This could be a early symptom of things just needing to settle out though as I haven't spent a whole lot of time on it yet. This would allow me to pop the SD card and boot stock when the kids want to view the books. A hassle but possible good alternative.

Option 2. Find some way to get the stock B&N reader programs on the custom ROM. I have no idea where to start with that and the brief searches that I've tried has suggested it isn't possible.

Option 3. Just live with Rooted Stock and the side loaded apps that I have now. This isn't as much fun, but does make for a fairly usable tablet with the full Nook capabilities. Just a few nits but none that are completely onerous. However no ICS and that might be a problem with apps in the near future.

Option 4. Bootable SD of a stock image. This would allow me to completely change the internal storage and have a separate bootable card for the stock needs. I haven't seen any of these offered in the Dev section yet but I'm willing to try to make one myself with a little more research. A couple of questions here though would be how/or if I can access the SD card from internal storage boot and share media on the card (movies, music, etc)? Can you default the boot internal with a special key press to boot from SD card? Ideas.

Option 5. Can you run a VM of the stock image from a normal boot? This one is way out there as I haven't seen VM options for Android yet.

So that's about all I can think of. Interested in hearing your thoughts and ideas. Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PJLLB:
Your option 1 with CM 7 should allow you to load Google Play, which will allow you to download the Nook Reader app from there. It will allow you to read your books, and some other content as well, but not Nook apps. (You can't read some magazines except with native Nook, and although the apps you've gotten from B&N don't function here, you can download from Google Play most anything you want. Also, you can always boot back to stock Nook Tablet and do that. I flip back and forth between CM7 and native stock Nook Tablet all the time.)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] qngds:
I also boot back and forth between stock and CM7. I use both Nook & Kindle apps on CM7. I really only boot into stock when I'm in the Barnes & Noble store.
