[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Doom Scythe:
Is there anyone here that has used LG V20 for more than 6 months and does not have any screen retention / burn in?

If yes, are you not using maximum brightness or is there any precautions that you have been practicing to avoid it? I am very tempted to get a V20, but the screen retention issue is kind of worrying me.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Thisisabadname:
I've had my phone since July and I am noticing retention. It's only around the edges though (part of the status bar clock, nav buttons.) You don't really see it unless you're using a fullscreen app with dark colors around the spots. Only the edges of the screen burn really, the navbar buttons are never burned in all the way, just the bottom half and then it fades the further up you go. Overall not much of an issue. I usually stay at 40% brightness, however. I only notice retention when the phone is hot (ie, charging).
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Blaises:
I've had mine since February and I don't have any at all yet. It's on auto-brightness at 30% right now. I'm not the kind of person that is on their phone all the time though.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Aymenitoo:
Download sfilter from play store and activate it at 10 % with the filter you like and bye bye screen retention ?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] reaverclan:
I have had mine since 10/25/16 and have glaucoma so I use it all the time at 80-93% brightness and do not have retention at all. I have the screen off glow from second screen but they all have that and its only when the screen is off in a dark room.

Wouldn't Comfort view do the same thing unless it does not get dark enough?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Aymenitoo:
In the app sfilter keep it in 10 % (to keep filter near to the real color of the screen) and you can uncrease or decrease brightness as you want its confortable don't worry
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Doom Scythe:
Looks like a typical case of serious burn case since it has only bee 2 months. :(
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Doom Scythe:
Interesting. Did you try to check for screen retention by setting the screen to all white?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Doom Scythe:
This means I will have to keep it on like that for the whole day?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Aymenitoo:
As you like you can keep it work all the day without problem at all without battery drain to , i was using it all days in my lg v10 and no image retention with the app working in background .

It's a good solution try it and tell me your feedback.

You can also open it and close it when image retention is gone .

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] HD2FORNICK:
I have been using the phone in comfort view from day 1 and it's been ok so far!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Pallist:
My V20 has severe screen retention. I am always always on auto brightness or manually low.

I just played a game with a checkered background, went to browse the web and i could still clearly see it. That was just the most noticable. It happens with everything.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] THE-COPS:
Just curious what everyone sets their brightness at?

I have had mine since September 8th 2017. So far I haven't noticed anything yet .............yet. (Knock on wood) ...ehhh. And I use my phone quite heavily. But I keep my screen between 21% and 30% ...(mostly stick to 25%. It works great, as long as I'm at home). (Edit - I forgot to add that I've had Comfort View enabled on it's lowest setting since about a month after I bought it. It helps with eye strain some...not sure about image retention tho).

It's obvious that higher brightness levels cause image retention faster. Try to knock down your brightness a little bit.

This issue isn't isolated to LG devices. I have noticed this on a couple other phones..and even lcd tv's. Our old Olevia tv does it. I notice it as im dragging images and windows around. Faint outlines of things "stick" for awhile. At least it's not like my Samsung S4. That thing has actual BURN-IN. There's no getting rid of that. Retention at least goes away in time.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] gustav30:
I've been using the sfilter app on my V20 and two V10s. Opacity at just 5% on black color takes care of the image retention.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] THE-COPS:
I was reading in the play store that sfilter won't work on the V20's navbar even though the setting for it is on. Other things I caught sight of were sfilter randomly force closing multiple times per day causing the screen to quickly become bright (or brightness flickering at random).

I only mention it because there were quite a few of them (reports of issues). Seems it's not been updated since June.

My Nexus 7 was painfully slow at charging. I'd tried various ROMs but issue continued. That is until I flashed the Omega 4.2.1 ROM. It runs smoothly and charges much quicker. Yes it is running Jelly Bean but for what I use it for it is fine (mainly Kindle, News and email).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exlo:
I bought this from ebay, but I cant find a ROM or a root method that works. Device info says it is Android 5.1, but Android 4.0.3 is stated elsewhere.

On ebay, its named "U9", and in Device info "Spreadtrum F2s", but I cant find anything similar.

Most apps will not install :( "Parse error"

Is there any roms for this, or a root method that works? The root apps that i have tried, says that its an unsupported device, IF i managed to install it.
[Touch Cruise General] BadTasteUK:
So, I haven't seen this topic talked about yet, apart from manufacturer claims of the usual hundreds of hours of standby.

Having now had the TC for almost a week, I'm not at all happy with the battery life, and hoping it's either a faulty battery or something I'm not doing right.

Today, I've made a 2 or 3 short phone calls and downloaded a few emails, and it's down to 30% at 5pm! Most other days have been the same.

I do have bluetooth and HSDPA on, but not Wi-Fi. Surely, this won't be another case of, "buy this great phone with all the fast connections, but stick to 2G GSM because of the battery life".

Any help gratefully received, as I love the TC apart from this problem.
[Touch Cruise General] benzo8:
Data connections come from the "TalkTime" budget, not the "Standby" budget, so if you leave your HDSPA connection connected, or your Bluetooth on, it will drain the battery in about 7 hours.

My tests seem to indicate that HTC's estimates are reasonable within about 85%, if you understand what they're saying. If you leave your phone switched off, doing absolutely nothing in the background ("Standby"), then I've got about 200 hours out if it. But as soon as you start using the phone (which includes switching it on - the increased processor usage and backlight take more power than Standby) the overall battery budget is reduced.

An example - if you spend 1 hour online, you've used 1/7th of your TalkTime budget, but you've also used 1/7th of your Standby budget - the hour of talktime is equivalent to about 30 hours of standby...

It's marketing speak, sadly, but given USB recharging, etc., as long as the phone makes it to a laptop or socket each evening, I'm pretty happy with the battery life on my Touch Cruise - just remember to disconnect data connections when you're not using them, don't check for new mail every 5 minutes and only use IMAP IDLE when you really need it...
[Touch Cruise General] Abbsta:
I too was first disappointed but I had almost everything that uses data switched on or on automatic like weather and emails.

So I set everything to manual and batt is good with some calls. Before when I tapped on the top bar there was always something connecting or showing connected for a x number of mins. But now it shows 'No data session active' and batt is holding up nicely for all my calls + what I need like GPS etc.
[Touch Cruise General] nikiiv:
I do put TC on heavy use and I am quite satisfied with the fact that TC makes it through the day.. Most of the PDAs and phones I have used forced me to carry secondary battery with me..
[Touch Cruise General] christonge:
I can only go on my heavy day to day business use with push mail 24h, 20+ calls, few hours of TomTom and bit of forum reading!! But it´s a very big improvement on my Kaiser which would be empty by 7pm. Whereas the Polaris is still around 50-45% :D
[Touch Cruise General] aerokid240:
Can anyone tell me how much battery life can one expect for mp3 playback?
[Touch Cruise General] BadTasteUK:
Something's either wrong with my hardware, battery, or config.

Are you in a 3G HSPDA area? I am, and wondering whether or not that's killing the battery.

If it's the battery, I doubt I'll get an exchange, seeing as most places are sold out of TC's still.

Do you use Windows Live? I don't have MSN Messenger running, but I think it syncs all folders on my hotmail every 2 hours.
[Touch Cruise General] christonge:
I don't use Windows Live or the messenger. I'm now using HTC Mail which gives you a free 3 months trial of their Microsoft Exchange Server account. It works really well and seems to use less battery than the Windows Live, which I had previously used.... and most of the time I use the basic "G" (GPRS) connection although when surfing the net I change the connection to 3G.
[Touch Cruise General] bindesh0:
Hmmm

Thats interesting

Im having a similar problem.

So far, mainly used mine for browsing through wi-fi but the battery drains so quickly. It only lasts a day and a half.

Same usage on my old orbit would last close to a week.

ps - Ive swicthed off all other comm functions
[Touch Cruise General] BadTasteUK:
I'd be delighted with a full day! It's such a pain to have to keep plugging it in!

I've now switched off HSPDA, and if that doesn't work, I'll have to switch off 3G. Kind of defeats the object of having a 3G device.
[Touch Cruise General] JulianL:
3G/HSPDA uses a lot more power than regular GSM. I keep my phone locked to GSM and only enable 3G when I want to go online, but then I primarily use my phone as a PDA so I don't access the network that often, even for voice.

I think there's a utility floating around these boards called something like BandSwitcher that does something to make it easier to toggle between 3G and GSM. As you can probably tell from my vague description (and I'm not even sure that I got the name right), I haven't got round to investigating this fully myself yet.

By the way, there is another thread here about battery life, started by me (what is it with us Brits and our obsession with battery life?), and called "Dissapointing battery life test" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=356910&highlight=Julian+battery+life). The thread includes a link to a very useful tool written by Muyz and available here (http://www.vandenmuyzenberg.nl/PowerGuard/) that allows you to look at current drain on the device and I posted some data in that thread from my device so you could run the same tests and see if your current draw is comparable to mine. If you do this then please do post your data.

- Julian
[Touch Cruise General] JulianL:
I'm afraid that's a very unhelpful "it depends". It really depends on (a) exactly how you've encoded your MP3 files (bit rate and CBR vs VBR) plus what player you are using to play them.

Having said the above though, I can give you two data points:

1) The Touch Cruise manual claims "Up to 8 hours (WMV). Up to 12 hours (WMA)." (This is on page 249 of the English manual under the power/battery specification.)

2) From measuring current consumption on my device while playing 64kbs AAC HE files I estimate that I'll get somewhere between 9 and 10 hours before I go from 100% charge down to the 10% warning level.

AAC HE is very CPU-intensive to decode. I'm not sure how WMA compares to MP3 regarding CPU intensity but I would expect your figures to be more comparable with the WMA figure quoted by HTC and, in light of my AAC HE real life experience, the HTC figure actually seems quite realistic (although nowhere near good enough in my opinion).

I hope that helps somewhat.

My average day.

Off the charger at 6:15AM

Make about 5 to 7 calls each about 5 to 10 minuets

3G HSPDA on with exchange server running always conected

Back light at MAX off after 30 seconds of non use

30 or so text messages

Agile Messanger on all the time conected to AIM and Yahoo. About 2 to 3 comversations each day.

Around 10 to 15 minuets of web surfing to read the news and what not

Bluetooth always on but only used in my car (BMW iDrive) about 1.5 hous of driving

About 20 to 30 minuets of playing S Tris 2 (Yeah I know but I can't help it I love that game)

About 30 to 45 minuets of MP3 playing while at the gym

Ringer set to Vib then ring

Back on the charger by 11:30PM

[Touch Cruise General] DXL007:

[Touch Cruise General] BadTasteUK:
That's fantastic, my battery MUST be faulty! Oh, and thanks very much for taking the time to write all that down!

I'll leave it another week or so playing with turning things on and off, and if I can't get a full day, I'll order another battery, and be hardcore about the 16 hour charge for the first three charges.
[Touch Cruise General] DXL007:
When it comes to my batteries I am a stickler when it comes to conditioning them. I always do a full discharge and recharge for at least 3 cycles. It may be inconvenient the first few times because you can run out of power in the middle of the day when you really can’t wait for a recharge, but in the long run its worth it. On the weekend when I use my TC the least I get 2 full days out of it.
[Touch Cruise General] BadTasteUK:
Looks like it's paid off! :D

I've had my second day now where it's lasted a day! Last night it had 40% on it at 0100, and so far at 1700 it's still on 70%. The reason? I turned off HSDPA on Sat, and it really seems to have made the difference. The internet still runs very fast as well.

Where did you get this info from? I've heard of ppl doing so for NiCd days, but never heard of doing it to LiOn or LiPoly batteries.

[Touch Cruise General] stt57:
Hi all

someone knows, if powering OFF the TC suspends the WIFI-connection

so that it will not discharge the battery?

On my elder HP, I let the WIFI on, switch off the device,

and I couldn't remark a greater change in the battery after one nighgt.

On TC, when switching OFF the unit with WIFI ON,

the battery is empty after one night.

Tanks

[Touch Cruise General] benzo8:
Pressing the power button will disconnect the wifi connection - unless you're in the middle of a Skype call via WiFi, in which case it just turns off the screen.

If you leave something running that requires a network connection and press the power button, the software (email software requiring regular checks, for instance) will connect via GPRS/3G/HSPDA if it can, while the machine is off. So be aware!

All batteries have some sort of memory, Lion's just have less. I have always done it that way and never had battiery problems.

Go into the comm manager, settings, phone, band, network type, then select GSM.

[Touch Cruise General] DXL007:
If I did that I might get 3 days out of my battiery...lol
[Touch Cruise General] BadTasteUK:
Yeah, yeah, ok DXL! :rolleyes:

Lesson learnt.... "I must remember to condition my batteries correctly" :D
[Touch Cruise General] Starwalker:
If you want to have direct access to 3G on/off in the CommManager and don´t need the Data Disconnect option, you can replace the Data Disconnect with 3G on/off:

Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\5\ (5 is the Data Disconnect button)

Set "Default"-Value to "3G"

Now you can switch on/off 3G with one klick.

Works fine on my device (Orbit 2).

Best regards

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] kc7gr:
This is, in a word, bizarre.

The V20, from T-Mobile, comes with their 'T-Jingle' sound in the form of both ringtone and PowerOn.ogg file. Even before I did anything to this phone, I was surprised to find no bootup sound being played at all. The phone does not come with any stock 'PowerOff.ogg' file.

Once the unit was rooted and updated (H91810k, stock, thanks to texasaggie), I installed customized PowerOn and PowerOff.ogg files. The PowerOff, and all other phone sounds, all work perfectly but the 'PowerOn' sound never plays.

Anyone else ever seen this in a new/replacement phone, even when it's factory-fresh? It's not a deal-breaker, but I would like to at least try for a fix.

Thanks much!
