Hey guys, I noticed that my phone is consuming battery like crazy when I'm on Claro's data connection. It drops 1% like every 2.5 - 3 minutes while on wi-fi it takes over 8 minutes to drop 1%. It also gets a bit hotter too. I know it's normal for wi-fi to be more efficient than data but such a big difference seems a bit unusual.

I had this same exact issue once with my S2 and managed to fix it by changing the modem but I don't think that trick is going to work with this G2. Anyways if anyone here has managed to reduce battery consumption when using data and can share some info It'll be apreciated. Or, if no one is having this kind of problem comment, maybe it's an especific problem on my device.

Edit: I found out that it could be related to FD (Fast Dormancy). I disabled it for the moment following THIS thread. If I see any improvement I'll let you know guys. I'm not sure if Claro supports FD or not so I'm basically on trial and error with this shet hehe

If anyone knows if Claro supports FD let me know ;)

[MENTION=1826290]omegajester[/MENTION] check the edit, what do you think? About the kernel, I really don't complain about Dori's kernel. I had some problems with the phone heating up with it but managed to fix it by wiping dalvik and cache. I'm having awesome deep sleep, WiFi works great too (both on reception and efficiency) and wake-locks are almost none. The only thing killing my battery is when I'm using data.
[G2 General] omegajester:
This happens to me once in a while, and usually to fix it I have to factory reset...

Funny you should post this, as this happened to me yesterday, and managed to fix the drain and phone warmth switching kernels (from latest Dorimanx, flashed Furnace). Phone runs much cooler now, and I'm doing 17 hours so far lol
[G2 General] prking07:
If you use dori kernel use v1.7, its.the coolest runing of all the versions.
[G2 General] omegajester:
Dori ran great for me (it was a bit of a battery hog- I ran around 190-250 mb on standby with Dori and 500+ mb on Furnace), so I'm giving it a chance; so far I like it.

I turned off FD today, and I'll report if it worked somewhat for me too; I couldn't find any concrete info on whether T Mobile supports FD or not (called T Mobile like 3 times and drew blanks all the times, apparently they don't know FD is :/). :cowboy:

Cyanogenmod11 M3

Hi All

I have put together a D803 version of CM11 M3 snapshot release based on the D802 version of CM11. I replaced the kernel with the D803 furnace 1.52 kernel (not OC). I also edited the build.prop to allow for mutliple users. I just installed it myself and it seems to be working OK.

Going forward I will store my CM11 Canadian versions here and I will probably port some of the nightlies over (not every night, but maybe weekly or so):

http://d-h.st/users/peliopoulos/?fld_id=32811#files

At some point I might put out an unofficial D803 thread.
[G2 General] wulsic:
Did you tryed an aosp kk modem, stock kk modem and jb modems?

Well I don't know or you are for real but it could be possible but then you also need to pick the good motherboard because else the digitizer(touchscreen) might not be compatible with your motherboard and I'm not sure or there are also some other hardware differences.
[G2 General] philliedbz:
I think the d800 has the same plug that goes to the screen i might try it when i have enough money and buy a d800 board and try it just for testing its better than buy a new phone lol
[G2 General] madboymatt:
New cloudy rom is out, no official support for our 803 but there is apparently a patch that will allow it to work. I'm at work and unable to test now, but I'll update once I can.
[G2 General] philliedbz:
If you get it up and running explain how to do it i have the patxh but im hearing bootloops flashing directly from kitkat
[G2 General] pqee:
I flashed from Cloudy 2.2 and so far its working well.

- Nandroid backups of every single partition and copied to pc

- Full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik)

- Flashed Cloudy 3.1 by choosing 802 in Aroma installer

- Before rebooting immediately flash 803 patch (D803_Patch_Rom simple_all.zip)

- Reboot

Things i noticed:

- Only had apn for 3g on Rogers so added lte one manually

- Mobile data randomly disconnects but i cant tell if it's an issue with the ROM or if my usually crappy signal is just that bad. I'll find out next time I go somewhere.
[G2 General] madboymatt:
Thanks for the run through. Awesome.

I'm going to try it now and see if the data disconnects for me as well. Someone in the Q&A thread also mentioned the signal dropping, that seems like a pretty bad issue to have to deal with.
[G2 General] philliedbz:
There is a signal patch for all variants out there u can try it if it fixes the signal lets see if i have it in my mega account

Here u go you can try it

https://mega.nz/#!bUQiFawY!ylKraDMgNp4gZsUxtYFYX-Ru9QQntIEKGnmQWxOG4ms
[G2 General] pqee:
Awesome, I knew I had seen a signal patch somewhere but couldn't for the life of me remember where it was. I'll try it out and update this post in a few.

** Ok so it looks like the patch is helping. I haven't seen it lose signal yet.
[G2 General] philliedbz:
Awesome !!
[G2 General] adam1741:
Where can we find the d803 patch? It's a shame dorimanx dropped d803 support.

Those on Cloudy 3.1, I couldn't get a GPS lock and noticed that the gps.conf has an asian NTP server listed. I switched it to a Canadian one using the Faster GPS app but haven't had a chance to try gps yet. Hopefully it works fine after.

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

I don't understand anything anymore. I did a chat with LG Canada and she said the G2 WILL be getting it but couldn't tell me when or which carrier. I did a Chat with Rogers and they just kept pointing me to their OS upgrade page which was useless.
[G2 General] kmare:
Adding a quick how-to on getting D803 back to stock, which I found very challenging. KDZ method did not work for me only TOT. So, the following should work for any D803 model. Phone was not bricked - Download mode was functional

1. Flashed Rogers TOT -- this was the only D803 TOT I could find online

2. IORoot and AutoRec the Rogers Firmware

3. Download the appropriate KDZ for your device (my G2 is Telus)

4. Create flashable ZIP based on your KDZ -- WindowsLGFirmwareExtract (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2666967)

5. Flash ZIP via recovery -- this should restore everything back to stock, including recovery, modem, baseband etc.

6. Launch download mode to confirm the phone is unrooted (if still rooted goto step 7)

7. Use LGMobileTools to do a factory reset

8. Phone is stock

PM any questions - always on XDA
[G2 General] madboymatt:
I also spoke to a csr at lg Canada and she indicated that the g2 update was currently not available, but that status wouldn't be permanent. Meaning an update is in the works? She couldn't elaborate. So stupid.

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

For what it's worth, cloudy 3.1 seems to be pretty great so far. Signal patch worked, and everything seems very smooth.
[G2 General] pqee:
Agreed, it is working pretty good. Way better than I expected. Have you run into either of the following?

- Slow charging. It still charges but it's way slower than it was on Cloudyfa's 2.2, using multiple chargers/cables.

- Wifi hotspot seems to work but when I turn it off, wifi reconnects but without internet (wifi icon has ! on it) until I en/disable airplane mode. Odd issue but at least there's a workaround.
[G2 General] jamescarter37:
For me finally autorotate and dt2w are working on this AICP 9.

I installed it by mistake; after all other 5.1 roms failed to give me both working together, i decided to download kitkat but without realizing it, i ended up downloading this 5.1 aicp.

Also, prior to that i was flashing all sorts of radio/modem/bootloader/baseband (don't even know what the difference between these things are)

First i tried each of the following before flashing rom (dont know which order)

a) D801_V_11b modem (as i have wind mobile version of g2)

b) D803B_19B radio

c) D803_10C radio

d) KK_Baseband_D803

But the i think the difference for me came down one(or both) of these two, although i dont remember which one i flash first

e) bootloader-d803-JB-10c -- from http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/general/jellybean-bootloader-d803-flashable-zip-t3128208

f) D801V20D modem

Running aicp for 2 days now, and though i'm not yet sure if the battery life is good (had it plugged in most of the time) i'm just really glad that finally, everything just works.
[G2 General] madboymatt:
I haven't had to charge my device yet, still at 34% since I turned it on this am...so that's awesome.

I've read that a ton of people are having the slow charging issue. Which leads me to believe it will be fixed sooner than later. I'll report back once I've charged it.
[G2 General] pqee:
I just hope it can be fixed ROM side. If it's a kernel fix we might be out of luck. *fingers crossed*
[G2 General] philliedbz:
Well we are screwed because its kernel related anyways isnt this a kk kernel and not a lollipop or is the patch only for the baseband and modem?
[G2 General] pqee:
I honestly haven't a clue what's in the patch. lol
[G2 General] philliedbz:
Lol i read once that the patch was kk modem/baseband from kk and i think that the kernel is also from kk hmmmm cant we just install doris kk kernel if its a kk one lol
[G2 General] pqee:
I'm so tempted but this being my main and only phone I'll have to let someone else try it. :)
[G2 General] philliedbz:
U can always reflash the patch

hi guys - can someone here help me: my phone model number is confusing me

[G2 General] philliedbz:
801 from claro is a 803 you can flash claros rom or rogers, i have the d801 from claro with rogers kitkat bootloader bumped twrp and all is well
[G2 General] sandys1:
The question is that when my phone first arrived from ebay, it had a Claro logo. I then bricked it for some reason and went on to flash D80110A_00.kdz (the official D803 firmware). For the past year, I have been running D803 ROM and Recoveries.

But now, when I'm checking my IMEI against LG's official firmware download site... I'm being told that the official firmware is D80120A_00.kdz

so the question is why is D803 firmware running on my phone ?
[G2 General] philliedbz:
Well i know that claro d801 is a 803 i tried once d801 recoverey and got fastboot recovered by flashing original claro rom so its safe to use 803 since our board is an 803 lg oficial site will give you as an 801 bit its really an 803 firmware
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
[MENTION=2627753]sandys1[/MENTION] did you happen to download that firmware after you entered your apn? If Claro happened to have released the official firmware for your variant, it should go both ways, which would be easy to port for D803
[G2 General] sandys1:
[MENTION=5539374]Dene_Bluesman[/MENTION] thanks for replying here - actually the first time after I bricked my G2, I blindly followed the D80110A_00.kdz that you had posted in this thread and it worked ! (and has worked for 1.5 years)

But at that time, I didnt really know enough to put my IMEI in the LG official firmware link and get a firmware download.

After I downloaded D80110A_00.kdz, I went on to flash all the partitions - LAF,etc. with the ones that I extracted out of the KDZ. So now, I'm wondering if I really had a D801 all along.
[G2 General] philliedbz:
20A is kitkat knowing how claro is the claro variant dies in kitkat its worse than the canadian carriers
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
Oh right haha, 20 is LP on the G3
[G2 General] sandys1:
can anyone else who has a Claro put their IMEI here - http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI and check which download link they get ?
[G2 General] philliedbz:
We get the same for d801 but its actually d803 firmware
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
In the G3 thread I was able to unpack the boot.img from at&t custom kernels to use the zimage compiled from source and repack it using my variants ramdisk. The D852 is a D850. Anywho back in the JB days for the G2 there was a dev named scrosler i think that created a rom from the bell firmware becuse the at&t D800 had the same hardware as the D803 but different ramdisks. Its a good possibility you can use the D800 kernel if you modify the ramdisk.
[G2 General] sandys1:
sorry for being a nuisance, but do you get D80110A_00.kdz or D80120A_00.kdz as the download link. Please note that I'm not commenting on Claro d801 in general.. this is my particular phone that is in some weird mode.

[MENTION=5539374]Dene_Bluesman[/MENTION] would you still say that my particular phone is a Claro D801/803 ? or did I somehow flash a D803 rom on an actual d801 and survive ?
[G2 General] pqee:
Well I tried a couple of Dori's kk kernels but it just reboots back to recovery. No luck.
[G2 General] madboymatt:
Using the stock charger and cable, my device charged normally. I didn't slow charge.
[G2 General] smilesintears77:
hi i have att d800. this rom is superior in everyway but signal strength. will this patch work for my d800?
[G2 General] pqee:
I don't know if this patch increases signal strength or not. What it does do is fix the constant signal disconnects every couple of minutes. Other than that is I believe this patch is good for all variants.
[G2 General] philliedbz:
Crap baskets oh well need someone whos good at kernels atleast to put the fast charge option has anybody tried kernel adiutor?
[G2 General] Dene_Bluesman:
Depends whats in the patch, have a look, if its a config file should be fine and be sure to back up whatever it changes, some may even contain partition files such as boot or laf etc. Then I wouldn't try it if it clearly states it is for a specific variant
[G2 General] pqee:
I tried kernel auditor but it has no charging options and would reboot the phone when I tried changing almost anything else.
[G2 General] pqee:
Who uses stock cable and charger? Well I dug out mine out and you're right, it's charging at a pretty good rate. It may not be as fast as Cloudy 2.2 but its way faster than it was on the 2 smart chargers I was using with monoprice cables (that charge everything else in my house). Maybe they can't detect the device properly so default to a slow charge. Who knows.

Thanks, makes this ROM way less painful. :)
[G2 General] GetPatriotized:
I've been using this ROM for the past few days. http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/rom-vk-v5-0-f320s-l-k-d80x-vs-ls980-l01f-t3134093

The first day I got random disconnects, flashed the signal patch and everything is working well. Going to try it out now with Cloudy.
[G2 General] lian1c:
No need for Lollipop update from Canadian Telecom monopolies. CloudyG2 3.1 is running smooth and stable on D803 after using the 2 patches. There is another Rom out there that works great as well called VK v5.0 - http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/rom-vk-v5-0-f320s-l-k-d80x-vs-ls980-l01f-t3134093

It is just as stable as Cloudy but faster and it charges quicker. It makes the phone feel like it is brand new again.
[G2 General] alexvtr:
Can you specify which patch you used and on which network? Thanks!
[G2 General] philliedbz:
Search in the thread a few pages back and you will find it
[G2 General] sandys1:
can you describe how you flashed VK starting from a jb baseband + jb bootloader + twrp latest ? all this info is so scattered that I'm not sure what to flash

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

also - is everything working on d803? like Skype, Bluetooth, gps,NFC? I'm traveling right now and don't have Skype on aosp roms and really desperately looking for something that can get Skype+gps working
[G2 General] pqee:
I have a feeling it doesn't matter what you're coming from on the d803 since the patch flashes a kernel (boot.img?), modem (modem.img?) , bootloader (aboot.img?) , and a recovery (twrp 2.5.8.1) I think.
[G2 General] sandys1:
so to install VK, u just install ROM through twrp? and the signal patch , right?

because to install cloudy 3.1, I have to install multiple patches.

can you please confirm the Skype+gps thing please. itd be a big favor
[G2 General] pqee:
Sorry I thought you were asking about Cloudy. I haven't tried VK.
[G2 General] lian1c:
I'm not sure how it works but I believe pqee is correct. It flashes a whole bunch of stuff during the installation and the only other thing needed is the signal patch. LTE signal is very strong on Rogers. Bluetooth, NFC, and GPS are working but have not tried Skype. Be careful if you want to go back to stock Kitkat because it is complicated if you don't know what you are doing. You might need to use the Tot/Kdz method. But there won't be any reason to go back because I think this ROM is amazing on the D803.
[G2 General] philliedbz:
Well anybody having problems with knock code and the proximity sensor very sensitive to darkness have to put my phone on the light so i can enter my pattern on the lock screen
[G2 General] philliedbz:
Went back to kitkat couldn't live with the proximity sensor problems and no knock code had to put it on direct sun light or light bulb for ot to unlock other than that it was fluid and was charging good with my sammy charger and cable !!

This ROM - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347756657 - needs Kitkat bootloader (that I flashed using bootloader changer here) and Kitkat modem.

Finding latest TWRP for Rogers D803

Hello all,

I'm hoping for some advice to remedy my current situation. I'm currently unable to make a nandroid backup by using TWRP, this started when I flashed CloudyG2 2.2 coming from BlissPop. It worked perfectly up until that point. I'm hoping that I'll be able to make a proper backup once again if I update my recovery.

I first installed TWRP when I rooted my device by using AutoRec, which came with version 2.7.0.0

I've been searching for hours both in the xda threads and google, and despite following the links in the xda thread I've been unsuccessful.

I went to twrp.me/devices /lgg2.html (sorry, can't post links yet) and it seems to not be up to date as the version listed is even older than my own.

In the xda thread it says "Download the img for your device:

AT&T IMG DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST VERSION ONLY!!! as of writing that is 2.6.3.3

Verizon IMG DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST VERSION ONLY!!! as of writing that is 2.6.3.3

TMobile IMG DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST VERSION ONLY!!! as of writing that is 2.6.3.3

Korean Telecom IMG DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST VERSION ONLY!!! as of writing that is 2.6.3.3

d802 IMG DOWNLOAD THE NEWEST VERSION ONLY!!! as of writing that is 2.6.3.3

For other models, click HERE and scroll down to find the files beginning with d2, and see if any of the folders sound like your model."

However I'm not comfortable just flashing something that SOUNDS like my model, not really in the mood to brick my phone...another day, maybe ;)

Anyways, I followed the link in that thread and it took me to techerrata.com/ browse/twrp2, where I think the current file might be b2can (Canadian, maybe?), but I'm not quite sure.

If this is the right folder, how would I go about flashing an *.IMG file? Can I do that from within TWRP? Or can I use Flashify?

Barring that, can I use one of Blastagator's bumped TWRP recoveries, and please pardon the noob question, but what exactly is a "bumped" recovery?

Any help would be much appreciated.
[G2 General] joefloater:
You'll want to flash the latest bumped TWRP by Blastagator from here

[MENTION=2627753]sandys1[/MENTION] finally sent that email to LG Canada. Here it is:

Dear LGE,

It's becoming widespread news that LG Canada has dropped the lollipop update for d803. While I understand there might be complicated reasons behind this, I, for one, see it as an insult to us as customers to cease updates while the 2 year expected serviceable life of the device is still unfinished. I used to be a loyal HTC user, but when they cancelled an update in a similar way, I ended my loyalty. They have since changed their tune on updates perhaps because so many users left for other companies. As of right now, I am going to repeat this decision with LG Canada. Perhaps I will go back to HTC since it seems they have smartened up a bit.

Or maybe you can release the source code d803 lollipop kernel? For those of us who have expired warranties and a bit of know-how, it means an update anyway. And guess who the "average user" asks when they are trying to decide on a new device? I'd love to recommend LG to anyone who asks, but right now, as it stands, I will not.
[G2 General] philliedbz:
LG post Modem and kernel please lol
[G2 General] pqee:
For anyone following this thread, CloudyG2 was updated to 3.2 and it includes the d803 now. I just dirty flashed over 3.1 and so far so good.
[G2 General] philliedbz:
How the ambient light sensor? Does it need a well lit area or does it work in dark places? And does knock on work?
[G2 General] pqee:
Knock on (knock code?) worked on 3.1 and still works on 3.2. I'll check the light sensor when I get home.
[G2 General] philliedbz:
If knock on works ill try it but with grola patch knock on didnt work for me and the ambient light sensor minimum was wayyyy to high had to put it on direct sun light or a light bulb because it would turn off the screen automatically when i hit power
[G2 General] pqee:
Unlocked with my knock code worked while in a pitch black closet. Also unlocked by turning screen on first with power button then entering code and it worked perfectly fine.
[G2 General] philliedbz:
Good will try it once i finish downloading it will miss doris kernel bet hey at least im at lollipop lol
[G2 General] madboymatt:
Beauty. I'm downloading now. I'll also try a dirty flash first. Did you have to flash the signal patch?

Cheers.
[G2 General] pqee:
I dirty flashed just the rom, no other patches, then cleared cache/dalvik.
[G2 General] philliedbz:
Does the same thing to me no knock on and ambient light sensor has to be put under direct light if not it wont let me unlock my phone ... Meh sticking to kitkat then until i buy a d800 motherboard any see if i can swap
[G2 General] SiCRider:
For me both light sensor and knock on are working even on 3.1.

Sorry it's not working for you :(
[G2 General] madboymatt:
If you flash the new 3.2 from cloudy, you may still have to re-flash the signal fix. I tried without it and was getting drops. Flashed it and all good.
[G2 General] sandys1:
how is Cloudy 3.2 working out ? Other than having a CM camera, the unofficial CM 12.1 from zr239 is pretty much perfect on the d803.
