steel droid 3?
Yes I think he means Steel Droid 3... Also, just to make sure, you DO have an XT862 right? I've heard the Steel Droid ROM will screw up an XT860. Just being thorough.

How do you guys SD compare to Liberty? I actually think it does better.

Ive never tried SD but both Monster and Liberty worked well for me.

This is very light use (some texts/tweets/angry birds/randomness) but still it shows theres no real standyby leak on Liberty, and ive seen similar performance on Monster.
All goes to show that at this point all the major ones are basically the same. You'll even see decent battery life from the stock ROM (5.6.890 update) once debloated.
Thanks for mentioning that, Savior057. I busted my XT860 by trying to flash Steel Droid. If your phone is an XT860, there are no ROMS available yet (except the Stock Chinese ROM (SBF/XML that can be flashed via Fastboot) - but I wouldn't flash that unless you absolutely had to! There is no stock Bell XT860 SBF/XML flash available yet).

I tried both SD and Liberty. This is the result of my experiment.
I tried SD 3 first. It had a very good battery life. Then I tried Liberty Gold. It was not good so went back to SD 3. Now, a couple of days ago, I flashed Liberty 1.2. the battery life is much better than SD 3. 24 hours after charging, I still have 60% left with moderate usage.
I hope this helps.
P.s: I also tried Monster 12. I was not impressed.

Hi I'm rooted and have jh3 and sre 121a installed.i did the one click lagfix off the market it was working great noticeably faster, but my battery life seemed a lot worse, do these lagfixs do that or was it some other issue.has this happened to anyone else
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I dont know if it could be caused by sre doesn't it use the overclock 1.2 ghz kernel i am not sure if that would drastically effect battery life or not.

For me, the lag fix alone didn't cause a drop in battery life, but right now I'm having a huge problem with the battery.
Well Ive been running set cpu at 1000 max.so isn't think the overclock was the issue.

I have been running jh3, sre with the lag fix and noticing battery life has not been that good. I dont know what is causing it I am going to back up my apps with titanium and run odin and run at stock for a day or two and see if battery life improves. Right now i am getting maybe 7 or 8 hours with regular phone use which isnt that good

That is my batt life. Not good at all anymore. With lagfix and OC kernal. But it is about the same after those installs and what not
If you installed the lagfix to the SDcard (installed the ext2 that is), maybe your card is just being read a lot more and is using more power? (conjecture, I don't actually know :x )
Wonder what you really do on your phone?

Thanks guys! Anything to figure out how to squeeze a little extra life out of the battery is good. I haven't been running ATK lately because I didn't think it was necessary to kill running apps with the new android version but I may have to rethink that decision.

So much more battery life
"On the way to an Iconic Revolt"
Didnt know people still used ATK... I stopped back on my original Droid with 2.2 came out
Another great program to use us Autostarts off the market. Its well worth the 99cents and time for set up. I've had it through four android phones. Basically it lets you control what apps start based on system events and triggers. Love it!
Sent from the edge of sanity from my Revolting LG Revolution 4G.
Using atk and setcpu. I wiped my battery stats when I changed roms last night at 6pm, just got my low battery warning 3pm the next day. Almost a day with much use, as could be seen by the amount of posting I did
The 1.4 ROM is very nice

So even after updating to 5.7.839 i am still dropping 3g data, any ideas why. I am rooted if i need to return the phone do we have a way to go back to complete stock? Like verizon ruu?
Haven't fully tested yet or not, but there's a buzz building about a data drop fix on some other forums..
Trick is to freeze the "Battery & Data Manager" and the "Battery Manager"... this isn't my idea, and I can't remember the person that came up with it.
I just did it on my bionic (about 2 hours ago) and I've not dropped data since...but I didn't have it happen too often...
You might give it a try and see if it helps..
DO NOT DELETE the apk.... just freeze them or add a .bak to the end of the file... just in case.

I have been experience no 3g data connectivity over the last couple days. (4g has been working fine though). However, my 3g has come back now. I think verizon has been having issues. I called tech support this weekend, they said they had been notified of data issues with their 4g phones and were working on it... I don't think it's your phone for now.
For reference I'm rooted and running the Shift3r ROM.

well so far it works, but i have noticed when i try and stream winamp it skips... that is the only thing so far that i have found that i cant explain.
I found a zip file and installed the camera w/ photosphere but am having no success taking pictures with it.http://d-h.st/ac5
Does anyone know if Bionic supports this? I've never been good at taking panoramas so I'm not sure if its me or the camera?
Sent from my XT875 using xda premium
Bionic doesn't have the hardware required to take photo spheres.

I suspected as much. Thanks for the info.

Any idea what hardware is required that we don't have for this?
I'd assume you'd just need the camera and accelerometers, but that's just an assumption and obviously a wrong one.

Yes. Bionic does not have gyroscope.
..
Sorry, i don't mean to drag this topic into oblivion.. But the bionic does have 3 axis tilt sensors. Is that not the main purpose of a gyroscope? Or is it that picky that it only wants to read from a gyro? I understand no one here built the app, but it just doesn't add up in my head

A gyro is much more sensitive and accurate

Still, if you try the apk you will see where it just doesn't add up to a photosphere picture....posted back @Post 1. Unfortunately, I really for wish that it worked.

Just wanted to let anyone here interested know, there is a ROM with working photosphere for Bionic.

I haven't loaded it up (I'm still on ICS, this is a stock based JB ROM), so I haven't tried it at all.
May be worth a look. The ROMs pretty like-able from what I skimmed over as well.
My battery life is really bad that i have to charge the phone twice a day sometimes more
i tried every thing said here on the forums, i disabled LG bloatware, i lowered the brightness to 0% but with no luck
so is the only way is to unlock the device and install a custom rom? or could it be the battery hardware itself? because i realized that the battery charges really fast, also i just got the phone 4 days ago is it normal that out of the box the battery life is this bad?
EDIT: it looks like i'm running UAE firmware, would it help if i flashed a kdz file for a European firmware? if yes which firmware should i install from these http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?

Using a different kernel would be the better idea IMO
