I must admit, I have had this a couple of days now and am soooo impressed (I have an S710 before). I had decided to go for the Touch Pro but after 3 faulty handsets and the experience of the really buggy software (does ANYBODY really think a daily reboot is acceptable) I decided to wait for this one.

But the one thing that stands out more than anything else on this phone is that with 3G push mail, wifi on full time, bluetooth on, a bit of GPS use loads of calls and general use, I am getting almost 24 hours out of the battery. That alone is worth the upgrade :D
[S740, S743 General] rb14:
Yeah, got there in the end. Nevertheless, I'd prefer a single-touch operation.

My experience with the TouchPro is certainly not as bad as yours. I love it still. Originally the battery life wasn't better than a day, but it would easily last that. It was totally stable. Always. And once I upgraded the firmware and radio, it became a different animal altogether. I usually get two days out of it with good use. Sometimes three.

The S740 is actually for my less-geeky partner who I think will find it easier. Now though, I have it for a few weeks' "testing" and if I prefer it...

...well, you know. Who's in charge here?
[S740, S743 General] omikr0n:
Yes, it does show all-day items. And to show more upcoming appointments just hit right softkey ("Today").
[S740, S743 General] boggle:
I'm thinking of upgrading from an S730, which suffers really badly from a lack of memory (64Mb). I know the S740 has 256Mb RAM but can anyone tell me how much is actually available after a soft-reset? This is the figure that's displayed as "Available Memory" on the "About" screen under the Settings menu.

Thanks
[S740, S743 General] playerkiller:
I'm wondering about battery life...
[S740, S743 General] networkguy:
It's the best I have seen on any Windows smart phone EVER.

Today I left the house at 9, took the family on the train to London (a 2 hour trip) for which I spent most of the time with my son watching the progress of the train using the GPS and Google Maps whilst using the free WiFi on the train for data.

Push mail has been running all day and because it was central London, I got a good HSPDA signal for most of the time. I also made a handfull of calls during the day

We then spent the day around London (all that time on the underground with no signal always hammers a phone battery), I took a load of pictures and then we cam home again this evening (again tracking with GPS) and when I got home, the phone connected to the wifi and I synced all the photos back to my home PC. It is now nearly 10.30

So right here right now, my battery level is showing as 61%
[S740, S743 General] omikr0n:
I currently have:

Available Memory: 125.34MB

Total Memory: 187.48MB

Please note that I have a few utilities running in the background, so available memory might be even a little bit higher when you first boot it.
[S740, S743 General] omikr0n:
My experience exactly. I don't quite understand how does this phone manages to get so much out of its 1000mAh battery, but it's amazing. It easily kills my previous PDA - TyTN II (which had 1350mAh) in terms of battery life in both standby and heavy usage
[S740, S743 General] karhoe:
1 - Of course, this is a smartphone, not a PDA running WM6.1 Standard, it's the OS
[S740, S743 General] StevenK:
I've received it yesterday and it works like a charm. Just wish there was a non-slider version, because the front keypad is good, that I don't need the qwerty keyboard.
[S740, S743 General] rb14:
I'm with you on this. I was out of London for the weekend, playing, bluetoothing, GPSing, left it on all weekend and used the alarm, and came back with battery life to spare. That's cool.

Yeah I know that. My point was probably poorly made. I was trying to make two points: that push email through Exchange is working perfectly with no issues and that setting it up was easy.
[S740, S743 General] coop3422:
I so want this phone. As soon as I saw it online my jaw dropped, lol. Having owned 3 htc touches, a s710 vox and s621, i can say I do like HTC products, lol. I just got my 3rd touch, but it just doesn't feel right, the touch screen seems bad (my iphone spoiled me i think), and i can find a good reliable keyboard, so I think im gonna sell it and get another s710 until this phones comes down a bit.

Just curious, where did everyone on here get theirs from, and what kind of prices? I am in Canada, so I won't be able to buy it from a retail outlet :(
[S740, S743 General] rb14:
I got mine from Clove Technology in the UK and I'm sure they'll ship if you ask them nicely. I've used them for all my HTC phone purchases and plenty of other gear; they're very good to work with.
[S740, S743 General] kerryburn:
the 'amazing' 710

Guys

like everyone else I like the phone, however, I am just not getting the amazing battery life you are talking about.

From my phone on a full charge I am getting: -

Standby time - 6.5 hours

Talk Time - 53 minutes

Device usage - 4 hours 11 minutes

this is without Push E mail (polling every 5 mins) moderate use of wifi and GPS (less than 10 mins) and occasional but consistent use of OCS (office communicator mobile with power saving settings activated for those of you that know it)

so I wondered if people could read from their settings and post, I cant really handle another phone that needs 2 or 3 batterys in a day!

Kerry
[S740, S743 General] petetav:
S74 not S710

I think you'll find they were talking about the S740 not the S710.
[S740, S743 General] kerryburn:
Apologies guys

Typo on my part, thanks Pete,

I do mean the 740, that is what i am using, I had the 710 before hence my mistake!

I have turned off HSDPA, moved to manual polling on e mail to see if this improves the appalling figures.

Pete now I have corrected this, do you have a 740 and if so what is your performance??

Kerry
[S740, S743 General] omikr0n:
Synching every 5 minutes may (and probably does) drain your battery even more than push-email. Try to turn it off to see how much it will affect your battery drain.
[S740, S743 General] petetav:
No I've not got one but was thinking of getting one soon. Yours is the first bad report I've read so I'm not so sure now. Sorry I can't help.

Pete
[S740, S743 General] kerryburn:
Battery life

Pete,

ill keep an eye on it over the next couple of charges and post back, regardless, the phone should last more than a few hours with push activated or not. I have switched off HSDPA and the batt life has improved significantly but you shouldnt have to.

another disappointing experience from Windows Mobile.

Lets see if anyone else has a similar experience.

Kerry

[S740, S743 General] Svedis:
Don't bother talking about battery standby....

If not mentioning what network you are on, and in what country.

Some operators share their infrastructures, and this "Wild West of the radio land" is a major cause for drained batteries.....

If you experience the Roaming symbol (white triangle) now and then even in your home country and also "Home network" are most likely the ones which also complains about the battery life.

Are you on Cingular/AT&T Wireless forinstance or another merged network by any chance ?
[S740, S743 General] cbreze:
I like this s740 well enough, however I have an issue with my java managing client. I had to hard reset to get rid of a stubborn app after the 2nd day so not to much was loaded onboard yet. It removed my java icon tho. It now resides in the windows file which is huge. I can retrieve it from there and all is fine, but what a PITA. Any way to get it back to someplace easier? It won't allow me to move it unless I'm missing something here. Any java app I load goes right to that file in windows. My only complaint so far. I had no idea that a hard reset would screw this up. Anybody else used "clear storage" yet? I tried downloading another java manager, but it seems the s740 does not like having two on board and won't let the new one function.
[S740, S743 General] ombre33:
just create a new .lnk file and put it in windows/start menu.
[S740, S743 General] networkguy:
I have and everything (including the Java) was where it should be.
[S740, S743 General] cbreze:
Thanks for your reply. I've since fixed the issue with another hard reset. As for battery issue, mine is great, but I'm only using gsm mode. Push email on 24/7 tho. this is becoming a great and usable device, just has a bit of a learning curve.Lol.
[S740, S743 General] playerkiller:
Hail to you, S740 owners! :D

Can someone post statistics of battery drain while using both push mail and Live Messenger Mobile the whole work day (6 hours), both in 2G and 3G?

I'm wodering how much battery waste this way. My S730 runs for less than 6 hours. If it takes 8 hours before shutting down it gets a +1 to overall score.

Thanks dudes...
[S740, S743 General] networkguy:
OK

From taking it off charge at 7am.

Push Exchange kicks in at 8am. MS Messenger is running.

Driving into the station takes an hour and during this time the phone is connected via bluetooth to the car kit.

On the train into London, I use the free in train WiFi to read RSS feeds using Newsgator mobile for 30 minutes.

I will then spend all day in and out of meetings, a number of calls, emails etc

Whilst out and about in town the phone flips between HSPDA and 3G (sometimes 2G). I also have the MS Mesh client running in the background syncing every 2 hours.

On the train back home, WiFi again for RSS, browsing etc for 30 minutes before another 60 mins in the car and home.

Indeed on the train today, I was also playing about with GPS and Google Maps.

Push Exchange stops at 8pm.

It is now 10pm and battery is showing 49%

So with push mail, messenger and mesh I can get a full days use out of the device with loads to spare.

BTW

Where can I get a job with a 6 hour working day?
[S740, S743 General] playerkiller:
Ahahahahah well... nowhere.

Typo... read 8 not 6 :D

Thanks ;)
[S740, S743 General] SwisströM:
Yesterday experience:

Battery mode starting at 7AM,

eMail check every 30min

MSN Always ON

Skype Always ON

BT and WiFi OFF

Network 3G/HDSPA/EDGE depending on location...

Some calls and sms during the day, some internet browsing (not a lot), some msn chats.

Work, Lunch, Work, Bar, Restaurant, disco and then casino, the phone shutted down at about 4.30AM.

It wasn t bad, but a few hours more would be surely better... Now I m looking for a "mobile charging device" (like the things with 2AA batteries) and/or the cable for car charging (the tomtom one seems to be compatible... but I m not sure about using it)
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
I have a LG K7 that will boot to system, but no matter how many times I try, it wont boot into either download mode or recovery mode. I've tried the combos of vol down + power and vol up + power and every other combination I can think of. Pulled the battery and it didn't improve.

Anybody ever see something like this? Any suggestions on how to get it to work?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] bmwdroid:
Tried ADB commands?

adb reboot recovery

adb reboot bootloader
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
Yes, and adb devices shows nothing. I'm wondering if the bootloader is locked and maybe that's why I'm having problems.

Also, I'm having problems getting TWRP to load. Do you know what version of TWRP will work with K7?

Do you have to root first before installing TWRP from the playstore?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] bmwdroid:
If "adb devices" shows nothing imo it's not recognised so not possible to flash.

Tried other cable/port?

No idea as I own a G5.

Never did that.

Always flashed directly but I guess so.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
tried another cable and different port. Status Quo!

Any other ideas/thoughts?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] bmwdroid:
@BigZ1 sorry, none.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
OK, finally can get into firmware mode and also recovery mode. Reason I needed this is to be able to try loading custom roms on this old phone. Now I'm on to the next pothole in the road.

I would like to install twrp. twrp from the playstore wont install unless you are rooted. I am using stock rom android 5 unrooted. I've looked at all the options and from what I see, I have the classic chicken and the egg dilema. Can't flash until my OS is rooted, and cant root without flashing.

The only way out is to use adb to flash the twrp file. Unfortunately I can't get adb devices command to acknowledge any devices. I have usb debugging on, and by connecting to a windows computer, I can view internal storage. So the device is communicating, but not via adb commands.

I tried to use the LGUP tool from LG, but it wont let me select my device, It sees the correct model of phone on Com3, but wont let me select the model. I think it's because LG has turned off their servers and cast us adrift.

If anybody has any ideas, it would be much appreciated.

I think my best bet is to get adb devices to work, or find a way to root my OS. I just cant figure out how to make that work. Help, please!!!!

BTW, in the stock recovry mode, LG has removed everything useful (e.g. install zip, reboot options, wipe cache, etc.) so the only option there is factory data reset. Thanks a lot LG!!!!!
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] bmwdroid:
Sorry to tell you but afaik this won't work.

fastboot flash recovery <filename.img> would be the command but this will only work if it's unlocked.

I doubt that fastboot will work if adb isn't but it's worth a try.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
You are right, a fastboot command would do it. Only reason I mentioned adb devices, is that if adb can't see the devices, fastboot wont either. I'll try it again, but so far no luck.

What I don't understand is why usb debugging lets me look at the internal files, but adb devices doesn't work. Perhaps you are right, the bootloader may be locked. Only thing I could find about that is in developer options I turned on OEM unlock.

Is there any other way to unlock the bootloader?

Sure wish I could get some of the LG tools working. They might enable flashing of twrp recovery or one of the various zip files that would root my OS.

Any more ideas? I'm desperate enough to try most anything....
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
One more question. When you try to execute adb or fastboot commands, should you be in what LG calls "firmware download" mode? Seems to me that when I did adb or fastboot commands on other vendors phones, I was able to do so while the OS was running.

Grasping for straws....
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
Well, it looks like you are right. There is a fastboot command

fastboot oem unlock

that would unlock the bootloader. Unfortunately while it's locked, I can't get fastboot to recognize any devices, so I can't unlock it.

Is there any way around this?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] bmwdroid:
Fastboot is afaik only working in download/bootloader mode.

ADB working on any other.

So <adb reboot bootloader > usually gets you there (but adb doesn't work) or switch to it manually.

Idk if you need to flash an unlock.bin by LG.

Got it before 31.12.21 for my G5.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
Yeah, I just discovered that LG discontinued support on Dec 31, 2021. So, looks like I'm out of luck for getting anything from them.

My only hope is that someone has that lockbin file and would share it. Sure wish LG hadn't left me high and dry.

Now that LG support is gone, is there any forum that might have some kind of workaround for the bootloader?

anybody got a lockbin file for K7????
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
Oh yeah, one more thing. The phone is still of some use to me, if I can find a way to root it. So far all the stuff I tried (kingoroot, supersu, magisk) have failed.

Anybody got any suggestions???
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] bmwdroid:
The file got generated by LG after I entered a long code on their developers site which is afaik different for each device.

So someone elses unlock.bin might even harm your device.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
You may be right, but at this point I don't have much to lose.

One thing I would like to do with the K7, is get it rooted. I can move files to the internal storage with usb debugging. I can't install any zip files and that makes it really difficult to find anything that can root it. Thanks again to LG for reducing the recovery menu to "factory reset data" so the phone has almost nothing useful.

If you can figure out a way that I can install zip files, please let me know.

I can't find anything that will let me flash the device without root, and I can;t get to root without some tools in the recovery menu.

Thanks
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
OK, I have not found a way to root. So I thought I'd take one last look at flashing/upating the firmware. I found a .kdz and a .tot file that I'd like to try. At this point I'm not risking much because the phone isn't worth much to me as is.

So, if you had a .kdz and .tot file to try out, what app would you use to flash it to the K7?

I tried to get LGUP to work and LG flash tool, but cant seem to make them work. If I knew what one to use, it would narrow my search. I'm trying to flash the K7 firmware by running exe files (LG UP, LG flash tool) on Windows 10.

What do you guys use?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
So, I managed to find a patched version of LG flash tool (2.0.1.6) on this website (thanks to member ieatacid), that doesn't give me errors immediately after I open it. The first thing I notice is that it doesn't appear to recognize the K7. If I try checking the box for manual mode and adding the file I want to flash, the click start, it tells me to "select model dll file". This is probably a result of flash tool not recognizing the phone. Anyway, where am I supposed to find this .dll file? I've searched everywhere and came up empty handed.

Can anybody give me some enlightenment on what I am doing wrong? Any help at all will be much appreciated.

Is there a tutorial on use of the flash tool? I looked but haven't found it yet. Just some youtube videos that are terse and lacking in detail.

Thanks!
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier. I own 3 LG phones (LGMS300m1, LM-X210ULMG10r. VS500PP9). I tried all 3 with LGUP tool. The tool recognized 2 of the 3, and failed to ID the LGMS300 (K7). Anybody got any ideas why the tool would recognize some but not others?

I am the only owner of the two phones that LGUP would ID. I guarantee that the bootloader on them was never touched (unlocked or locked, in any way). So that's not the answer.

It would be a big improvement for me, if I could at least get the LGUP tool to work for the K7.

BTW, I tried all 3 phones on the 2016 version of LG Flash Tool. All 3 failed to be identified.

Please, if anybody has a hypothesis for the odd behavior of the LGUP tool, I would love to hear it. Any suggestions are welcome.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
Update on the never ending saga!

I found (on this website) an LGUP tool (version) that is for the MS330. So it works (albeit not so consistently). I was able to flash a .kdz file after several trials. Apparently when LGUP connects, it puts the MS330 in bootloader mode, waits 15 seconds for the device to respond and then begins flashing.

Now, here's the problem. I have a .tot file I'd like to flash. When trying to flash a .tot file, 15 seconds is not enough time for the device to respond, and I get an error for what appears to be an asynch error. That is to say, the MS330 took a second or two more that the 15 seconds to respond saying, yes i'm in bootloader mode.

Is there any way to give it a bit more time? Surely the members who use LGUP tool would have encountered this behavior, and would have found a solution.

Words of wisdom, anyone?
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
Somebody must have seen this problem before (LGUP timeout) while flashing ROM. What's the solution?

Help please. I'm on the cusp of making this MS330 work.
[LG K7 Questions & Answers] BigZ1:
If you guys use LGUP for updates, I would think somebody else would have encountered the asynch error and perhaps found a solution.

Please help. I'm on the cusp of being able to get this MS330 working.
