Thanks for the write up. I went from being a little unimpressed by battery life to blown away. Biggest saver from stock is dropping all the SYNC stuff. Totally unnecessary IMO. If you aren't consuming the news and updates (you know actually in the app), you probably don't need it refreshing. Still baffles me this is the from-the-factory type setup.

Phone used to eat 5-10% of my charge per hour with light use and barely make it through my "day" (~15hr away from charger). Now, after 6hrs. since it's been off the charger, I'm still at 91%.

Kill LTE and go to CDMA only if you don't have it in your area either, or it's still rolling out. Seemed to help too.

EDIT: And I should note my scores are with never letting the Data Connection completely sleep, so I can still get emails as they come in which I find important.

Here's another tip: Go into Google Talk and make sure to sign yourself out if you don't use/care for the service.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Biofall:
Solid tips man. Will update the OP. I always forget to change my mobile data to CDMA only. Also, I had three accounts signed into gtalk, which was unnecessary.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] budeone:
Biofall,

Nice thread.. Very very nice.

The battery issue --

While I actually agree with what you say I do feel a bit different. I base mine on previous usage.

My days really fall into one of three areas. When you get old like me you will see your days are all about the same. :crying: My heavy use is going to be someone else light day.

For me I can judge based on different phones, kernels and roms. The 4g days I needed to have a charger at my desk. There was no way I could get through a whole day regardless of how many calls I made.

Now I am judging verse the LTE I had and and very surprised on how well its holding up even on

heavy days.

Have you had time to try this yet? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230403

Not sure it works, like you said some of these apps just use more than they save. I am going to see what happens over the next few days and see if I can see differences.

Your Facebook and sync statement, man do those hit home! I still have a few phones at work that these guys don't get it.

Gtalk.. beh turns on when you flash a new rom.. People have to remember to go back and shut that sucker off!

Thanks for your post, I am going to show a few people this, maybe it will open their eyes.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sgt. slaughter:
This isn't the wimax days here where your 4G was handled by a totally separate chip than your cdma connection... Now the One does have 2 chips because the S600 doesn't have integrated radios but the radio chip in the One handles both cdma and lte... On the evo lte I saw absolutely zero savings in switching to cdma only while my area didn't have LTE... Since they have tweaked the polling for lte and that its done on the same chip, the power use is not even noticable In the slightest bit.... Back in wimax days it made sense to kill 4g then bc with it on meant a whole separate chip was getting powered up and would be polling for data connection which is not the case now...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Biofall:
Nice catch; I hadn't read too much into the way that the chips handle polling. Either way though, you said that it's minimal whether or not it's noticed, but if it helps a minuscule bit, why not change it? Unless you're fervently hoping for LTE to randomly pop up in your city in the form of a magical radio surprise, it makes more sense to change the setting
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sgt. slaughter:
The rate sprint is rolling out deployment now at this stage its more risk you do miss it and there will be times that you hit that newly deployed tower allowing for faster data transfer and in turn using less battery... The risk isn't worth it at all really as the gain of turning it off is non existent... Ur searching for a signal on the same chip that is already searching the same freq for your cdma signal...

Now the connections optimizer app sprint has I have not dug into much to see what all its forcing or benefits/disadvantages that are from it....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Biofall:
I'll research this later to confirm. If you're correct, it wouldn't make sense to change the setting. Personal testing says otherwise, but I haven't done the research. Also, as a side note, you said that a "newly deployed tower allowing for faster data transfer and in turn using less battery". LTE uses more power than CDMA, so that is an incorrect statement. It may be faster, but it is certainly not better for your battery.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sgt. slaughter:
Logic is flawed there some... Bc of the same reasoning explained before regarding the # cores being on to complete tasks and such another user mentioned...

LTE SAVES battery overall if your using your phone at all... Try doing something on CDMA 3G and LTE can spur up and handle the data flow quicker using less battery overall in the long run...

Oh and that article is deeply outdated... Those devices mentioned all used non integrated chipsets... Now some of the logic will apply here in the One's case as it has the same setup chip wise with 2 separate chips but them being 28nm vs the 45nm back then, on top of the advancements made in LTE have brought it down...

Need to get the S800 SoC out in devices and get back to single chip devices....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Biofall:
Do you have any literature or sources that document that?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mhoepfin:
I run Juice Defender and have it set to only manage my mobile data connection every 15 minutes. My biggest battery drain is spotty coverage, so this works wonders and doesn't affect anything when in wifi.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sgt. slaughter:
You can search anywhere and read up on the chip makers and movement from 45nm and 28nm chipsets and integrated radios... Can get most all info on that at anandtech...

Thing is unless your blanketed under 2-3Mbps 3G coverage, OR do not use your phone much at all, then you'd get the advantage of LTE as the phone would be working to pull data for a less amount of time than over 3G...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sgt. slaughter:
General signal coverage will be the worst thing when it comes to battery life. That will kill battery life quicker than most anything else... Esp if your trying to do data needed things during that time.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mhoepfin:
Exactly! Juice Defender is actually a very well engineered program. Once I saw that I could go into the more advanced settings and only have it cycle the connection when I wasn't on WiFi that did it for me. Now I am never in a position where my phone gets crazy hot battery drain because of poor signal.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Roman G:
Acuatlly 4g randomlly popped up in my town and the sprint reps had no idea. We have had it for about 2 months and nothing has been made official yet.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sgt. slaughter:
And that's how it will be everywhere for the most part. Should be live in areas well before they even chirp about it... Underpromise and over deliver in a sense...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Biofall:
Glad I could help!

I haven't tried that app out yet, but there are a couple of combinations that I'd like to try.

Go ahead and subscribe people, cause a certain moderator seams to have some sort of weird vendetta against my thread and disagrees with the other moderators as to the thread's status. So no sticky for now, but oh well. Hopefully the reports I sent in will get through! :rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ArchangelRenzoku:
So I know I have a Note II, but this is an interesting topic. Is there somewhere like in a hidden menu or something where we can change the frequency that the phone polls the towers? Like how it checks for incoming calls and messages?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Felnarion:
It's really upsetting that the OP here recommends "calibrating" your battery which has been shown, time and time again, even by Dianne Hackborn, to be completely false and completely useless. Battery stats is wiped when you reach 100% charge regardless, and besides, it's just a small file that contains what is displayed on the battery stats page in settings.

It does not affect how your phone interfaces with your battery. It does not affect any readings the phone receives from the battery. It does not improve battery life in the slightest.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Biofall:
You are correct, and I am aware. Don't know how that made it into thus revision. Will edit out when I'm at a compy. Thanks for the catch!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] NICEGYPT:
Thanks, But I did not found telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0. Will try when I have a diff rom
[Nexus 4 Android Development] SkyandDirt:
I setup LTE on my Nexus 4 with the stock rom without modifying the buildprop before and that caused 100% of the phone calls coming in to crash the dialer. Does this method have that problem too? I'm with koodo by the way.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Beremus:
I used so far a week with this hack and never got any drop calls, I'm with Telus.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Ace42:
Lte doesn't work on .27?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Beremus:
It does but for the sake of a better compatibility I suggess you to go with .33
[Nexus 4 Android Development] texaswickedtoys:
Just curious has anyone tried .24 that has been the best radio for me
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mattkroeder:
Technically, there's a ROM prerequisite too, isn't there?

I don't know if it's just a T-Mobile thing but I thought ROMs such as ParanoidAndroid didn't work properly with older radios.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Beremus:
Works on every ROMs.

(I'm with PA 3.15)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] texaswickedtoys:
And does the APN trick need to be done with T-Mobile?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Beremus:
Unfortunately yes. I'll update my post.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] swirly05:
What about AT&T straight talk??
[Nexus 4 Android Development] texaswickedtoys:
Would changing the APN in root browser work my PC died on me the other day
[Nexus 4 Android Development] estallings15:
No. Well, unless you live in one of the, like, 2 cities where they have band 4 LTE.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Beremus:
You can change it with text editor but it's more pain in the *** than anything else.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] 3oudreaux:
Stock or AOSP based roms need the changes that simobile details in this thread. Mind you that this isnt needed for CM10.1 or AOKP. As far as I know T-mobile is the only carrier that had this incall issue, so if your on t-mobile with .33 or older you need this.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Beremus:
Thanks, I'll add it to the OP.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] texaswickedtoys:
Can someone help me with the TMO apns I've tried to do it text editor but it won't let me change anything and I don't have a PC at the moment
[Nexus 4 Android Development] 3oudreaux:
Settings>More>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names

...(menu)>New APN

Name- LTE
APN- fast.t-mobile.com
MMSC- http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
APN type- default,supl,mms
APN protocol- IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol- IPv4/IPv6

The easiest way after crack flashing is to remember fast.t-mobile.com and protocols and just copy/paste MMSC and APN type from the default tmo apn;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] AnthonyAldrete:
Name is "T-MOBILE US LTE"

APN is "fast.t-mobile.com

Everything else keep the same except APN protocol . change that to IPv4/IPv6

Save and you should be good.

Keep in mind I didn't do this hack to get my T-Mobile 4g lte to work. All I do is dial the number and change the network type to "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (prl) which is what allows me to make calls without any drops . hope this helps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaos67731:
I am looking to turn a few pdfs in to a Android app, and was hoping I would get a little help.

I am looking for a simple flip or slide book that I can put on the Playstore. It does not have to be a PDF as I can build the books in any format so if the being a pdf is a problem I can change that.

Is there any easy way to do this or a good sept by step guide?

Thanks

hey all - I have looked at the PCTECH website with regards to the replacement screens for the XDA, are they talking about the XDA 1 only???

plus they are in the USA, I am in the UK and want to know what I can do about my screen over here. I think it is just the glass that has cracked as I can still use the screen no problems......

HELP - I need to get it fixed, I know that if you have insurance with O2 they will replace them - but I am with orange and bought the phone as a stand alone device.

HELP PLEASE

have you tried claiming on your house-hold insurance?

just and idea.

just want to see if I can get it repaired first.

thanks for the thought tho.

I use LGNPST to flash it, but it needs dll file,could you pls upload one ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] autoprime:
lgnpst_ls970.dll is included with the "autolgnpst" link in my guide.. use that dll for all LG OGs. Please read my entire post.
[LG Optimus G (International)] xueyufei:
Yes, I read it, but it seems not work on my system, maybe there is something wrong i download, can you pls offer another mirror?

I think the zip file could flash in recovery is better than this way. ;)

nice job, thx.
[LG Optimus G (International)] chadouming:
The point of this tool is to flash when you don't have a recovery, when you can't boot, you know, soft bricked ? Making a zip file that you can flash by recovery when you have NO recovery is stupid.
[LG Optimus G (International)] xueyufei:
Already install on my phone, thx for all of you.
[LG Optimus G (International)] sframbo:
Thanx for your work! Have solved my softbrick yesterday, when boot gives me "secure booting error cause: boot certification verify". Thanks to you, now i have TWRP, an unlocked bootloader and CM 10.1.
[LG Optimus G (International)] c0urier:
After following this guide I can access fastboot, but when trying to flash any rom from there, may it be ThinkingBridge, CM etc. I receive the following error:

Could you give me some advice, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Problem solved by deleting the line:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "e975" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "e975");

in updater-script

[LG Optimus G (International)] autoprime:
i need to make new teenybins for each and every model.

u have the E975? or was it converted from another device?

currently the teenybin includes TWRP which is made for LS970(sprint optimus g). I need to edit the recovery so it thinks its E975 instead of LS970 i think. Does E975 have its own TWRP? or any official recovery for that device specifically?
[LG Optimus G (International)] skdubg:
hi autoprime,

no it haven't. TWRP from LS970 is working for E975

but E975 has official CWM

The .bin files mentioned only for ATT and Sprint ... how can I use LGNPST for my F180?
[LG Optimus G (International)] skdubg:
read the OP.

the bins are for all variants except ATT
[LG Optimus G (International)] thyk888358:
For F180

Yes i tried the small bin original for all but i still cannot boot into system ... so i thought there any big bin for F180 .. is there? thanks

Edit: my phone can go into download mode but cannot flash KDZ file as the tool said unpack error and the liveupdate also cannot use.
[LG Optimus G (International)] autoprime:
teenybin is for fixing soft brick and getting you into recovery. you should now have working fastboot and working TWRP recovery. from there you can flash roms.

this does not restore /system or your boot.img which is probably why you cant boot up.
[LG Optimus G (International)] hasan4791:
Need Help

Guys i duno its hard brick or soft brick after this teenbin flash i cant enter recovery.....

after this teenbin flash download mode also not working...it shows error while flashing KDZ...pls help guys...!!:crying:
[LG Optimus G (International)] autoprime:
were you bricked prior to flash?

are you unable to get into download mode at all? or is it just that the kdz flash fails once in download mode? can you get anything at all on the screen?

if you are able to get anything on screen at all.. when u plug in phone to usb and check in windows device manager does it list device as Qualcom HS-USB.. or QHSUSB or something along those lines? If yes I'm afraid that's a "hard brick" .... if not then theres a good chance it is recoverable... somehow... someway.
[LG Optimus G (International)] thyk888358:
Thanks....

I have a better understanding now .. thank you.. now i managed to converted my F180 to E975 ... but I am trying to look for recovery for it ... I installed GooManager but cannot install recovery .... appreciate if you could help pointing me where can i get the correct recovery file and install on my phone. i know it should not under this topic but i really don't know who to ask....

Thanks
[LG Optimus G (International)] hasan4791:
I can confirm, its soft brick and gave life to mobile with LG Recovery tool ( but u feel bored if yu sit for hours to download the kdz file)....:laugh:

I cant even enter the recovery with hardware buttons....evry time i use quick reboot app for recovery...:confused:....duno y...:confused:...

I can able to see the COM port in Device manager...i.e. It goes download mode and if i do kdk flash it shows some dll file error.....But im sad to say that this tool doent help me...:(:(...i cant even push files thro adb as my system files is formatted also adb shows offline all the tym....cant able to perform sideload in Clockwork mode touch recovery......yest i had full hands on this mobile nd learnt lot of things....:good::good:....soon il give detail info for safe operation to users....coz silly mistakes can make u to go mad at this tyms...:laugh::laugh::D.....I was abt to leave LG care thinking its hardbrick nd LG recovery tool did awesome job.....:good::good:.....some times we can appreciate LG tools...:D...j4f

So you phone has been recovered? not sure i understand 100% if you're still having issues though.. I could probably get the .TOT for your model and you could flash it in LGNPST or LG Flash.

Can i ask you something? I have an e975 with thinkingbridge rom and cwm but everytime i have a lot of trouble to enter in cwm because if i press vol up + power it reboots but everything could happen, it could simply reboot, it can stay dark and if it is charging it doesnt boot at all, not even the charging animation...and sometimes, rarely, it goes in cwm...sometimes it turns off too...

everytime i try to press different combinations of keys.....why i do not see nor fastboot nor download mode? Is it starting in fastboot/dm but the lcd does not turn on? If i have to create a different thread just tell me privately and ill delete everything...

Ok, i got some problems, when i read this, i tought it also was for unlocking bootloader so i could flash a new rom, i was on stock rooted and did the steps, i can boot into download mode and twrp. but i can't install any zip. only get errors, assert getprop, then i remove it, then i get "error executing updater binary in zip" i dont know what to do, it dosent want to install anything it seems like. i got E-975

Cause it didn't exist a 975 Bin on the page u linked in post 1 i downloaded LS970 bin and now the phone thinks i have LS970. What to do? xD
[LG Optimus G (International)] autoprime:
shouldnt be any issues with getting into recovery. unplug usb cable... make sure you're pressing volume up.. and not pressing close to the middle of the button.... if your finger is close to the middle it may trigger both volume up and down.

vol up + power should get you to fastboot every time. then from fastboot you should be able to hit volume down twice... then power to get into recovery.

if it still doesnt work.. then it would seem to be some sort of hardware issue which would be outside of the topic of this thread. keep me posted.

all you would have had to do is boot into fastboot.. then push over a new recovery image for e975. "fastboot flash recovery nameoffile.img"

you shouldnt ever flash another devices stock bin file.. so im not sure why youd flash an ls970 bin. you will have to flash the e975 tot (here) using lgnpst now to restore back to stock.

teenybin is to get you back into fastboot/recovery after a softbrick... when u can only get into download mode. its just for saving time.. rather than flashing the ful 1.3GB bin .
[LG Optimus G (International)] davide136:
I'm sure that i press vol+ + power to enter fastboot, and i'm sure that it gets into it...because different combination of keys brings me to different states...if i press after rebooting in fastboot (i cannot see anything on the screen) pause vol- pause vol- pause power it reboots to the system, not the cwm...

If i press after fastboot, pause vol- pause vol- pause vol- power and then randomly every key, it freezes i think, or it loop, i dont know, i cant see it, lets say that nothing happens...

I still cannot find the right combination to get in cwm and everything happens with charger on and off...when i get into cwm its just because of my luck....

I have bought this phone from a private and i think he messed something...i found root when i buyed it, now im worried it is not an e975 but an ls 970 converted....i dont know what to do...by now, the phone is stable and to enter cwm i use the reboot menu...

[LG Optimus G (International)] autoprime:
have u tried to flash the e975 teenybin with lgnpst? using the teenybin should give you full fastboot menu so u wont have to guess. if that still doesnt work... then u might be right about it being a converted device or something.

No i haven't tried because im afraid of messing the system and because i dont know if it will reset the device...i need data partition to be untouched :)
