Hi guys... ill be receiving my optimus 2x next week... id been reading about all the fixes for it and all that stuff... im planning on installing cm7... but id been reading about problems with sound quality and all that stuff, can anyone point me what baseband (or any other fixes) should i install on the cellphone to get everything working propertly? thanks in advance!
I have had mine for a while now..... 2 months or so? I insdtalled CM7 on it the first night I had it and I have never looked back.... I update every few days although to be honest usually I cant tell the difference between the roms.
Lovely phone, running cm7 - baseband/rij 725, launcher pro and htc sence theme... think its called ntsence.
Plenty other mods as well but these are the main ones
Never had a problem with call quality, there is screen bleeding but tbh unless you really look at a black screen you dont notice it
Bert
ohhh i see, i have to learn about the lg baseband thing hahahah... when i receive my cellphone ill have to check that, cause it seems that cm7 its running fine... but i keep reading about updating and replacing baseband!
to be honest I was running baseband 200 ( or 225 or something ) until a couple days ago.... never had a problem with it and only updated because we get a crap signal in the house ( on all 4 different mobiles.... 2x orange, t-mobile, o2 so I thought I'd try it.... cant say I notice a difference tho lol
Ohhh i see thanks man... ill check all that... what about your battery life?
My battery lasts about a day with wifi on, 3g on, fair usage of both, not many calls tbh but a few txts a day, 3 hours audiobook use per day, screen at full brightness.
As said in another post... if you think the 2x is bad try my wifes iphone :/
it seems pretty good battery life im used with my previous android to carry another battery on my pocket... maybe ill keep doing it... but it seems that this lg got better battery life, thanks man!
I don't mine I get half a day with having everything on and not using and by then I'm at 60% but I use and app for it now and I go home with 90% lol

First of all go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082195
That will give you a clue on what baseband to choose (personally I use 725bb and 725 ril)
Then go here http://android.modaco.com/topic/335494-12-aug-smartflash-stock-baseband-release-103521-20110725/
That tells you what you need to do to change basebands. If you're planning on using CM7 (It comes with the 218 ril as standard, it doesn't change your baseband though) but you will need this program from the market 'LG Getril' it tells you what baseband you have and suggests a matching ril, it also lets you download and instal the ril too.
cm7 is running fine with stock baseband and ril for me
There is an app which automatically detects and recommends the best RIL for your Optimus 2X. It's called LG GetRIL.
Because I'm a new user, I can't post direct link
In terms of battery life, a good matching RIL to your phone can help increase your battery life.
Hope this helps!
thanks will check that too
Try android booster it works wonders I would go to work with full battery and be left with maybe 40% if I was lucky but with that app I go home with 89% so saves me about 50% battery every day

I'm posting this question because I'm sort of confused, I've had my hero since July and since then have ran every rom to date. Now I'm running AospMod 9.9.2 and have never witnessed such horrible battery life. I know it has nothing to do with this rom because I used to get f*cking awesome battery life almost 2 days without charging. Now I'm lucky if I get 6 hours moderate use... Charged to 93 this morning, still on charger rebooted to install keyboard, loaded back up dropped to 73...
I've done all sorts of calibration nothing works, Can I please get some insight on my problem before I buy a new battery? Thanks in advance!

It might be the ROM. Did you change back to a different one to see how it worked? If it went for almost 2 days a few days prior then drops to a 6 hour usage I highly doubt it's the battery itself. When my G1 battery went it started to lose time very fast at the end but it did it gradually over months before I had to get a new one.

You might have a zombie process or an app with a mem leak something is really eating that battery. Some apps/Widgets are poorly written and can cause battery issues. Typical life of a battery should be about 2 years(if that) before it starts to not hold a charge anymore though. There's a way to check which zombie process or mem leak could be killing your battery it would easily tell you. I wish I could give you the link but I'm on my phone. Flipz tells you how to do this on his site.
UPDATE: I found the link dude.

Hello all!
Here's my problem. For the past week I have noticed that the battery life's very short. And by short, I mean less than 10 hours fully charged. I got no new applications since this problem appeared, and everything seemed to be working perfectly. Then suddenly I woke up one day and noticed that the phone is turned off. Any ideas on what could be the problem?
I'm running Android 2.3.3 I9000XXJVK.
Here you can see battery use, if it helps.
Thanks in advance!

But I've always had background data and sync enabled and it always worked perfectly fine. Why would this suddenly be the reason for battery drain? Also, at night I always turn off WiFi and data network.
Well disable this when ur not using....i think u should give a try and close them...because high android os usage is due to this....

Since disabling background data didn't help very much with battery drain(it extended battery life by 1-2 hours), I decided to try another ROM. Now, it's unplugged for 11 hours and it's still at 90%. So far, I'm completely satisfied with F1 Galaxy S II V6 ROM.
That was the awesome rom i dnt know what special ingrediant he use in his rom...i test F1 innovation and i got 3200 quadrant score and long battery life...but the major problem is touchwiz 3.

Using V7 and after 8 hours on doing almost nothing it ate all the juice from my battery
So much bad info here...
Notice how 'Android OS' is eating a disproportionately large amount of your battery? This is called the 'Android OS' bug, which appeared shortly after the release (and use) of JVK—which just so happens to be what you're running. Just for the record, your display should almost always be the highest consumer of battery. If it isn't, you have problems... just like you do now.
Reboot your phone to get rid of it. Battery pull if that doesn't help. It inevitably will show up again, however; it's merely a matter of time. If you'd like to permanently solve this issue, simply upgrade to 2.3.4 (JVP) or newer.
Please, all of you... just look at your battery stats. It's a built-in, handy feature—so use it.
EDIT: As it appears, this is an old thread. Please don't bump old threads...

2.3.3 has a very high frequency of Android OS and Android System battery drain. The best solution is to flash 2.3.4 or 2.2.1.
2.3.4 has a much lower frequency of the battery drain bug, while 2.2.1 has no battery drain bug.
For CM7 we had a thread with all the known major issues (and solutions) for the most recent roms.
CM7 now is almost perfect and pretty complete. CM9 is still in alpha though and (obviously) seems to have a lot of issues.
Can someone who flashes nightlies / kangs please give a short overview what doesn't work or what does cause problems? Also stability and power issues would be interesting.
Of course there are still problems with video hardware acceleration but what about other areas which are GPU relevant like browser, games or any app that isn't just a list really? What about the sound drivers, do they work in general? does listening to music while using other apps work that also output sound (for example music + navigation or podcast + navigation)?
I think this would be very helpful to a lot of people (me included of course )
Why didnt i think of that?
Silly me that reads this tiny thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347118
I didn't find anything useful via search which I didn't know from blogs / g+; as I didn't want to read up on as of now 1256 posts in that thread I had hoped someone could take 1 minute of his time and give a quick run-down.
I was hoping for a serious answer or a sarcastic one which took at least as long to write but would be really douchy. You just linked the thread so I'm not sure what to think lol
i use cm9 daily and i have not seen much problems. its smoother than any other rom i used, the battery holds much longer. whe listening to live streams it would not last longer than 6.5hours, yet on cm9 it holds for 9.5, i also dont need to charge every night or have the battery drained in the morning which was the worst thing and happend for me on all the other roms.
what does not work... let me see, the latest version of opera doesnt work. sometimes it takes a long time to get a data connection, but i think that is because my wifi switches on and off a lot. other than that i dont have any problem and i definitely wont go back to any gb rom.

Thanks a bunch dude! The improvement on the battery from stock to cm7 was awesome already, getting even more out of it would be great. I assume you are listening via 3g right? getting more than 6 hours is quite an achievement there.
I switch a lot back and forth between wlan / 3g though so I guess I have to wait a bit for that to be sorted out.

no im listening over wifi, but the battery usage reflects all over for me, usually i had to worry about my battery even on 2g, now i dont have any worrys, even on 3g it lasts longer than on 2g before.i guess its because it basicly uses 0 battery while not using it while on other roms it constantly drained as if i was using the device.

I've been using Nova HD for a week now and even though I was sceptical at the beginning, I'm really happy with it. It's fast, no random reboots yet, no force closes. The battery is not super, but is is ok: I think I can use it for a day with normal use. I'm not going back to CM7
Hi guys!!
My phone is seriously screwed up. I'll get to the story.
A couple of nights ago, I couldn't copy files to sd card both from the phone and the computer. So I took it out and tried to format it in Windows but failed. So then I tried to format in linux and succeeded :good:
Then I tried to copy files to it, eventhough it seemed like files were copied, when I tried to read it again after ejecting the card, it was empty No files were copied!!
My SD card had failed and so I removed the SD card and let the phone be. ROM was CK MIUI 2.4.6. I noticed that battery started to drain faster through the night; around 40% for 8 hours
I tried using various other ROMs, tried the battery friendly CM9 too - both elols and rcset's. Still no avail. :crying: :crying:
I think its a hardware error. Can I claim my warranty??

My Experience with Service Center in Bangalore was good .. they gave me a replacement phone (Some cheap dual SIM phone) when i had issues with display and wanted to replace it .
Lead time given was 1 week as it had to be sent to some central location but they guy called me up within 3 days and asked me to come and collect my phone ..
So they treat the Mi 400 owners well as it was the costliest phone in there arsenal some time back .

no bro, not yet. The phone is still with me and I'm currently getting ~19 hr usage with only calls/msg.
I'm on Bumblebee and I'm getting nice backup, can you try it once (ya I know it still has ICV) but gives nice backup and each and every feature works (excl. FM, HDMI) or sharp Modded (.35) Fix1 which also gives nice backup, but the condition is that you need to stay on any of these 2 ROMs for few days and not flash any other ROMs immediately, I've seen that constantly flashing ROMs also reduces battery backup no matter on which ROM you are on (means you don't get good battery backup even if you are on battery friendly ROM), if you want you can try it as a last solution...

Hi Whyzee
First how old your battery is and did the service center guys replaced the battery?
Do one thing wipe everything, cache, delvik cache battery stats and revert to stock GB for sometime. then check the performance for your device and tell us

Does your wifi, data and brightness set to high? If yes this may be the cause of your battery drain. If you don't use it then better switch off the wifi and data and also reduce the brightness of the screen and this may help you to get your phones battery to last at least two days.
Thanks.
