[Q] Going to sleep problems on MIUI rom (maybe GOT 2.2.1 kernel?)

Don't know if it's a known problem, I'm with Miui milestine since 19.11 ver.
at first have a battery issue, had a little research and find out how to check if phone sleeps when locked. from then and on, I noticed phone sometimes won't go to sleep (after discconecting from charger, after playing with 3g, WIFI, GPS on/off)
soultion from me right now is playing with 3g, WIFI, GPS on/off,
when phones goes to sleeps battery is good, but I had enough turning 3g off check battery stats. lock the phone, open it, check again etc..
Does anyone know about the problem?
Soultion?
I'm running currently MIUI 31.12 on GOT 2.2.1 kernel (ITALY_WIND)

On these unofficial ROMs, batt life is always an issue. I'm using GOT 2.2.1 and have to turn off data and wifi if I want my charge to last over 24 hrs.

So I'm guessing its unofficial rom problem?
Hoping for official rom soon...

Stock 20L: 3G disconnects then HUGE battery drain

Hello all,
I have confirmed the following issue on my Optimus 2x with stock 20L. Nothing else, nothing special.
When I leave the phone standby for several hours (eg. during the night), when I get back to it and turn on the screen, the network signal/3G indicators are white - meaning no internet connection.
After around 10 seconds, 3G reconnects itself.
While this is annoying, since you don't get any notifications from programs using the internet (WhatsApp, Facebook etc), it gets worse.
After 3G reconnects itself, the battery drains really fast: about 30 seconds for 1%. So in a few minutes your battery will be completely drained.
This even continues while rebooting.
For example: I come back to my phone and it has 46% left. Then I notice the 3G disconneced and reconnecting and then power starts dropping really fast. I reboot at 43% power left. After the reboot, there's only 18% left but the draining has stopped.
I at least had this happen twice in four days.
Is anyone else noticing this, or does any of the developers out here perhaps has a fix or a custom rom in which it is fixed?
I really like 20L for some new features, but I'm also experiencing issues with GPS and now also this... I'm really thinking of going back to 10D.
Thanks for any help or insights you can give me.

I also have huge battery drain, but in my case the main culprit is OnScreen Phone. Left my phone with 100% in the evening and in the morning, after exactly 8h, the battery was at 70%. Of that, 50% was used by OSP, and 25% each Idle and Cell standby. With the phone on wireless, froyo used at most 10% instead of the 30% used by GB now.

Yes you should remove all background running apps, especially the sh..y LG one Phone on Screen, but also checking for others, like media share programs and so on.
One time with my present ROM I had a storm in my battery with tremendous drain.. I had to do a fresh reinstall, and since then no problem.

Thanks for your replies, but this is different.
The battery only starts draining when 3G reconnects and you can literally see it happen.

Same happening here. I'm running on topogigi 2.0 SP3.
With Baseband 725 I'm having this issue. Now I'm on 622 will see tomorrow what happens
Edit: I'm noticing, that even if I have full signal with an "H" the phone starts switching from H to 3G and back when I turn the screen on

I think I can confirm that huge battery drain on GB is because of the radio. The reporting of huge consumption by OnScreen Phone or Gallery may be wrong.
I left last evening my phone fully charged on Flight Mode and after 8:30 it consumed a mere 1-2%. With Flight mode off GB uses like 30% and Froyo used 10%. So I suppose the radio is the main culprit. As you can see in my screenshots, the Gallery process is said to have used the most energy, but it wasn't even started. And some days ago OSP was in place of Gallery. In the third screenshot you can notice how the drain started when I turned off the Flight mode and browsed for 45 min or so.
Could it be that we're experiencing this huge radio drain because of the incorrect baseband? I suppose we all have the generic Euro Open/Italian v20L ROM, and maybe our networks need a correct baseband for our specific operator?

The first time i experienced the battery drain problem i had no rooted phone with official Gingerbread update from LG. That was last week. The Baseband was exactly the same as from Froyo 10D (725).
With Froyo I had no battery drain at all. So LG must have messed something up - that was my thought...
since then i rooted my phone and installed topogigis rom on fr, 4th nov. At the weekend i was in areas where the signal strength was very good (H in status bar).
On monday no battery drain on my place of work where signal is very bad (G in status bar).
Since tuesday battery drain is back. I get reconnects after reconnects when the signal is weak. Even when the signal is very good my phone jumps from H to 3G and back. What the hell is that?

You need to flash the GB baseband released with the rom, the 0725 basebands are not the same. Flash the 0725 baseband in the v20l thread of Hell_97 and try again. Without it there are many issues.

Maybe I was a little uncertain:
- Last Wednesday (2nd nov) I had an unrooted phone with froyo. In the morning I checked for an update with LG Software and boom I had Gingerbread.
- Until friday I had heavy battery drain (9h and battery was at 5%). I was so angry and thought f*** you LG-Guys I'm flahing topogigi's rom. I flashed the Baseband 725 from his thread. On Saturday to Monday evening no problems at all.
- On Tuesday my phone again had very bad signal an it was often active (in the Battery-Usage Menu were much of those blue bars.
- Yesterday I flashed 625 Baseband -> problem not solved
- today I flashed 502 (from LG U660 10S update). I will look how it works.
What I noticed on all Gingerbread roms is, that the phone often Disconnects an Reconnects. I think that's making the heavy battery-darin.
But I have no idea how to fix that...

If you have updated through LG update tool, your Baseband had been updated to last (=the one recommended for Hell ROM), and above all the one recommended by LG for your area...
I think you should put back this one...

I've read many threads about this issue, but couldn't find a solution for Optimus 2X because on our phone, the PDP Settings in the HiddenMenu aren't implemented yet, so we can't disable Fast Dormancy.
I've found a workaround when you're at home: you can change the WiFi policy to never sleep, so during the night, the phone will use WiFi only instead of 3G while it's sleeping. But still, this doesn't hep you at all when you have no WiFi available.
I called LG this morning and they sad I'm the first reporting this problem (huge 3G battery drain on newly released Gingerbread)
Has anybody found another solution?

[Q] Signal and battery problem

For weeks or months now, I have had a problem with my battery. Not only does it drain itself radically, my phone also restarts at random moments (usually when someone's calling, percent of battery doesn't exactly matter) If it helps, when I checked my battery a week ago, I found that it had some scratches at the side, which is unusual since I don't even touch it.
That's problem number one; the drainage and the random restarts. I have another one. Since yesterday, after I entered a friend's house that I know receives no signal at all, I have not had decent signal. Location doesn't even matter anymore, I usually have good signal at home but now there's nothing. It sometimes goes on but after a while, it's gone again. Friends with the same SIM cards (TM, and no that does not mean T-Mobile, it's a local brand) say that their signals are quite good. I tried inserting my sim on my brother's phone and it was working fine.
I deem my phone useless now. Help?

Which rom you are using..
Try full wipe!!!

GingerDX. Already tried that, it didn't work.

maybe ur x8 is not well reacting with this rom
try another rom or other version

Install all Past Versions of GINGERDX. Worked for me i got more than 2 days on mah gingerDx and S-Rom.

Oh, wait the signal's fine now. My only problem is the battery now.
Hm..maybe. But for the brief moment that I downgraded it to the stock Eclair, it still kept restarting when the battery got low.

I just got it what causes battery drain on GDX!
GPS! Even if you turn it off, it will eat your battery until you reboot. I think it can't stop for some reason.
So after you use GPS, you have to turn it off and you must reboot to prevent BD.

O2x issue - Battery freezes and mobile data stop working

Hi all,
I've got an annoying issue on my O2x. Sometimes when I leave it in standby for a long time (>30mins) with the screen off, the battery percentage freezes and I can't make or receive calls/sms; also mobile data stop working. If I try to activate flight mode, nothing happens. I have to reboot the phone.
Example:
Yesterday I went to sleep (battery: 73%).
I woke up after 6 hours (battery: 71%).
I used the phone for ~2 hours (battery: still 71%).
Then I noticed that Mobile Data were disabled (can't enable it) and signal was fixed to 3/4 bars (even if I tried to go somewhere w/o phone signal - still 3/4).
Tried to make calls, send sms but can't (battery: still 71%).
Tried to turn on airplane mode, it disabled Wi-Fi but nothing else happened (battery: still 71%).
At the end I had to reboot the phone. At boot, battery was 17% (the true percentage, I suppose) and everything with mobile data/signal was ok. Then I received 7-8 messages from people that tried to contact me during this "issue" time. :\
This crappy thing is happening like once a day, so please help me!!
(I'm running Leaked v20o with BB725, but I had the same issue through Topogigi/Thanatos/CM/v20L with different BBs/RILs!)

I have the same problem. Battery freezes at 37%, and I can't receive/make calls. If I reboot the phone then the battery start to show the correct charge. This happens every day. It sucks.

Well, at least I'm not the only one...
Someone told me it could be an hardware problem (battery).. So I think I'll buy a new battery as soon as possible and try... :S

I had the same issues when I upgraded my phone to the official Gingerbread release. Prior to that I was on Topogigi's ROM, which is GB as well, and never had similar problems using two different basebands (but I honestly don't remember what number they were). When I switched to CM7 I never faced this issue again, so I don't think it is a hardware problem.

[Q] Faulty hardware?

Hi everyone!
I''ve started to experience some rather annoying errors with my 1.5 year old phone just recently. My signal freezes completely when doing random tasks, it could be from just lying in my pocket to surfing the net. The 3G/H and the signal bars icon remains frozen even if I go and turn data off. When this happens, all apps immediately return "Connection error" of some sort, and when I change to WiFi the signal icons disappear and an spheric "stop" icon appears instead (probably indicating my signal error). However, my WiFi works perfectly. Only solution is to reboot the phone for the network to work again.
My second problem is with the battery. When I opened my phone I saw that it has began to swell a little in the middle. I also experience random shutdowns and ridiculously bad battery life. Can this be linked to problem 1 too?
As I live in Sweden, it's rather complicated finding an replacement battery seeing as it's extremely overpriced. Does anyone know where you buy either stock Samsung batteries or higher capacity ones (1750'ish) for a decent price?
Currently running:
Mandana 7.0 JW8, Semaphore 2.7.4sc (the problems are not related to the rom though, I've tried multiple roms)
Cheers!

yup, battery may need to be changed and only after that, you should try to resolve other problems, if any.
try ebay or goggling will get you tons of suppliers for batteries
