absolute best battery life? Go back to 2.1 with schizopunk's Epic ROM combined with the Pheonix kernel. That was some sick battery life. My best was over 3 days off the charger (no airplane mode shenannigans). Of course you'd have to be on crappy old eclair to get those, but all you asked for was best battery life :P

So is this correct in terms of battery..

Tw > cm7 > aokp/cm9
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
TW and CM7 are pretty close. You'll get arguments on both sides but that all depends on how you use your phone. In my experience battery life was equal between CM7 and The People's ROM the way I use MY phone so YMMV. Most will hedge towards CM7 being slightly better.

HTC opened source code of kernel 3.0.16 for One V. It's the same hardware based as our DHD. So I hope now devs can use it to make our custom roms to be fully functional with ICS 4.0.

Who is the first? :)

[Desire HD General] goofylad:
cool wonder how long before we get a full working ics rom a day or two at most..... :)
[Desire HD General] zachs_xda:
It's not that simple.

While they share the same SoC, they do not have the same board, hence board config files.

The jump from linux 2.6.x to 3.0.x is huge and u can't simply bring in those missing board-spade*.c .h files from the old kernel and expect them to compile. You're going to get a whole lot of compile errors because the underlying linux kernel has gone through so much changes. It's a daunting and massive undertaking.

My money is on devs waiting for HTC to release DHD kernel source for ICS.

Bummer. I don't necessarily find the need to post all the time and spam the development forums. There have been rare times that I can actually provide valuable input and when those times do occur, I post. Also, since I am not a very involved developer, I am not creating anything new. I am using the forums for the great information that is out there to tweak the past 4 or 5 phones I have had. That being said, I haven't run into many problems when doing the hacking so I, again, haven't had the need to post that something didn't work for me. It normally works just fine since I read the directions and follow it closely.

Regardless, no hard feelings in the slightest. Thanks anyway.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Maybe links to somewhere i can get the parts for cheap or a repair service.. thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cervantesjc:
You can get a cheap digitizer at Amazon.com, and there are a few videos on YouTube that'll teach how to replace it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] carltonhimself:
I got mine from RepairsUniverse.com. It was 67$ with shipping. Order their double sided tape, too. When you get it, disassemble according to their YouTube video. To remove the glass, use a hair dryer to heat the glass, and nudge it out with the plastic tool they provide. If you go slow and don't rush it, the whole process will take about an hour the first time. Clean the frame well, and place the tape on it. You'll have to cut the piece provided, so don't worry if it doesn't line up exactly. Press the glass down on the tape and reassemble the phone. BOOM.

Also: if you want to do something REALLY cool, search for the white digitizer and battery cover. The all white G2X looks awesome, and you can get the whole kit for like 80 bucks USD.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
I never needed to use a hair dryer. It's fairly weak adhesive that keeps the screen on to the glass.

Look up the YouTube video. I actual commented on there about my experience replacing it. Same user name but with an x at the end (buru898x).

Oh and you also don't need to "re-tape" the screen either. The screen is locked in securely with or without glue/tape.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Actually I'm going to replace my aunts g2x this Saturday when she comes over. I got the digitizer plus the alluminim bezel (idk if it is aluminium or not) for 60 and I got it 3 days. I use Amazon
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Razorblood:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/T-MOBILE-LG...908?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f0e7a034c

This is the digitizer I bought, and I used a video on YouTube to do it. It was by repairs universe. It was really straightforward. You need a Phillips 00 screwdriver.

This auction had the housing as well so all I did was replace it completely. Simple.

Good Luck!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
The bezel is plastic trust me I dented the hell out of mine. Its black plastic with a grey metallic coating. Let's see if I can get a good picture of it.

To those of u guys who replaced digitizer....

Touch screen doesn't have a issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jim Dead:
I found the charger in the OP is good but not is rapid as it could be

I have never rooted my AT&T Note phone

I found the only way to determine how fast the phone is charging is by using a terminal program and:

cat /sys/devices/platform/sec-battery/power_supply/battery/batt_current_adc

Which will show ma *10 from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1519084

The charger & cable combination above (OP) maxes out under 900 ma

The stock charger & CABLE that came with my phone will do 1000.7 ma

If I use the cable from the charger in OP with the stock charger, it maxes out to under 900 ma

After using several cables & carger combinations, I found the battery status can say AC (fast charging) even though its only charging at 400 ma :eek: In the 400 ma case, it was the cable which I threw out, (I was using the stock charger) even though it worked as a data & charging cable..... I don't want to grab it and use it accidently and have my phone take forever to charge.

The lesson I learned is always verify your charging setup.... Especially for charging while in your car when using GPS, LTE data, and play music. For the car, I use a Griffen iPad (I have no i* products) carger with:

http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Adapter...UTF8&coliid=I3TYTQBSNKZ4GK&colid=7NRVJS6JI4DY

and a cable that I verified would charge my phone at 1000.7 ma.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dvandam:
First off, I am not unhappy with my Skyrocket in general. To be fair I only purchased it because my Nexus One broke and needed a new phone, but it's been exhibiting some very annoying things that I can't tell are "common" with this phone or if they're specific to my own model. Full disclosure, I have rooted and installed different ROMS on my phone, but many of these issues have existed since before I made all the modifications. I don't know if they're because of a bad battery, bad phone, or a bit of both.

1. Battery life is ATROCIOUS. Yes I know this is not that uncommon, but considering I'm not using LTE (because AT&T thinks Puerto Rico is more important than providing service to an actual STATE that is one of the most prolific in the nation) and I don't have a lot of background processes grabbing data. I mainly use my phone during the week to check facebook and twitter and such, but in about 8 hours I can be down to 20% power. I don't recall my battery life being that bad with my N1.

2. Sometimes I'll turn on my phone and it can't contact the AT&T network. I'll have to reboot, sometimes requiring that I do a battery pull. Speaking of battery pulls..

3. Sometimes when I leave my phone to charge overnight and then disconnect the charger, the 100% message does not come up, nor does the phone turn on. Once again, another battery pull. Also, more often than not the phone isn't actually fully charged.

Anyone else experiencing this? What would you all suggest? Should I go to AT&T and demand a replacement (obviously after I restore back to stock features and possibly run the counter wipe) or just get a new battery (which I think that AT&T should pay for) or just suck it up and deal with it?

Go back to stock. Reset flash counter. Get real pissy at the store and demand a replacement. Get a replacement phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dvandam:
Stupid question: How do i reset the flash counter? I mean I know there's a file out there that does it, but do I go into recovery and just do "install from Zip file?" Also, will doing the return to Stock also remove my CWM recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
Just flash the zip in cwm. You'll still have cwm after but your count will be NO.

Then Odin back to stock using the Samsung UCKJ2 tar (not the one in the soft brick thread). For me, sometimes going into download mode using the two button combo trips the counter again, sometimes not. Using a jig to get into dl mode will prevent tripping it (Google how to make your own--its really easy)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] trajik78:
i went from the Nexus One as well. As for the general Android experience i really miss my Nexus One, but over all the dual-core cpu, expanded memory and bigger screen is enough of a reason to stick with it.

Where can I get that? I looked around and it seems to be at SamMobile.com, but it says I need to register to get the file. Is it somewhere else on here? Why shouldn't I use the one from the softbrick thread?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
The one in the soft brick thread doesn't flash the modem (not sure about the kernel, but maybe not). I'll post a link in a few when I get back to my desk

EDIT: This one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1349207&highlight=uckj2

Once you download the file you'll need to unzip it. It'll ask for a password, enter sampro.pl . Once it's unzipped, open Odin (right click and click "Run as Administrator"). In the PDA slot place the file called HOME_SGS-I727user_CL626051.REV02.tar.md5 . Put into download mode and connect phone. Make sure Odin sees your phone (yellow COM box). Make sure nothing is checked other than Auto Reboot (DO NOT CLICK RE-PARTITION OR YOU WILL BRICK). Click Start and let it do it's thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dvandam:
Thanks for the info.

So basically I go and get the counter reset here first: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1575712

Then I go do the Odin thing to send the phone back to it's not as cool state? Out of curiosity after I do the flash back, how can I check the flash counter?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
Yes, first do the counter reset, then Odin back to stock. After you flash back to stock you can check the flash counter by going into download mod. You don't need to have Odin open on your computer, just have the USB plugged in to your pc, and after pulling the battery and reinserting it, hold down the volume up+down keys as you plug in the USB. You'll get the yellow warning but click up. It should say:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I727

CUSTOM BINARY: NO

CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL

Before you send it back you'll want to go into Settings/About Phone and make sure your baseband is UCKJ2, with the original kernel version (2.6.35.11). Lastly, go into Settings/Security and do a Factory Data Reset (check Format USB Storage to wipe out everything you have on there). Reboot and make sure you get the initial setup screen.

I'll try this all soon and head back to the AT&T store this weekend after I take a double shot of tequila so my inhibitions go down so I won't take any guff (but hopefully won't get me to Mel Gibson levels..)

I have a weird question: If I did a Nandroid/CWM backup and then did the Odin thing, what would happen if I rooted then reinstalled CWM and then did a restore? Would my phone go back to what it was or does it not work that way?

On a COMPLETELY unrelated topic I found this to be amusing from Gizmodo..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
Nandroid backups tend to be a little buggy and you might find weird things happening (or you could brick altogether--not likely but possible).

I'd recommend using Titanium Backup to back up all your apps, and then backing up the Titanium folder, along with any pictures, music, etc. you want to keep to a desktop computer.

You're better off getting off to a fresh start with a new device and not introducing any bugs that may have been leftover on your Nandroid backup (including potential bugs that may be related to the problems you're having).
