What problems? They say that about every Android device.
Mine is working just fine, sans the occasional glitch, which I also had on my Atrix, and the wife's Inspire, and my captivate, and the GS2 I tried... See a pattern?
Oh, and even my iPhones had problems.
No problems here.
They said that some of the thrill's battery's cause power failures like mine and have freezing problems another problem I have I had to warranty mine out

Lately my battery has been dying pretty fast. I think it's either going bad or SPB Launcher is draining it.
Got my new battery my phone already works better

I'm very lucky that I haven't had too much trouble with my thrill. Battery life sucks, but that's because of the software...

i can imagine a graphics intensive launcher like spb will drain your battery pretty quickly.

Found this new CPU app and you can change the voltage in it
https://market.android.com/details?...29tLnNtYXJ0cHJvamVjdHMuQ1BVQ29udHJvbExpdGUiXQ..
I was wondering if blitz supported the voltage adjustments as maybe it would help us that get a decrease in battery life because of blitz? Ik its UC already but thought fine tuning it to phone could help even more?
Also, if you were to use this with rom toolbox would the CPU settings interfere? Would you have to remove rom toolbox?
Can't change voltage. Lol

It's so weird that yours is that bad. My "phone at idle" uses just 4%. Have you tried using "Watchdog" to see if you have some rouge app using up all your battery?

Okay thanks I'll try it out.
A few things that people seem to forget when comparing battery life. One person can get twice the battery life than someone else for many reasons.
A few:
1) are you in a 3g or 4g area? 4g will use more battery because of dual radio (recommend to switch to CDMA only mode when in a 3g only area, OR when you don't need 4g connectivity)
2) What options are running? (Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, etc) Don't have any of those features on, especially Wifi, it will suck your battery down quick.
3) Your CPU app (Such as SetCPU). Is is set to Performance, OnDemand, PowerSave? I don't fiddle around with custom settings, just use the stock of those 3 and notice a major battery improvement with just the stock PowerSave.
4) Is your screen brightness on manual or auto mode? Auto mode will take 2-5 times as much juice as it's constantly scanning and changing screen brightness.
5) (almost forgot this) Most importantly, make sure you are in a good signal area (at least 80%) before complaining of poor battery life. Anything below 80% signal can cause your phone to search hi and low for a better tower and better signal. Anything below 50% is likely to draing your battery in half the time, or even less. Constant scanning for a better signal uses up a LOT of juice. I've had past phones that lasted for 2.5 days on a single charge when in full signal. Down to about 10-12 hours in poor signal and similar usage in both areas.
5.5) Those who don't yet know... Don't complain like the ones on Verizon website/reviews where the only thing that some will complain, or markdown on, is battery life. You are using (by assumption you reading this in this forum) a 4g, dual mode phone. NOOBS: This means there are two radios/antennas in your phone that are working together. One on 3g(CDMA) and one on 4g(LTE). This automatically makes your 4g phone use more battery. Don't like it? Go buy a 3g only phone... :O
Make sure to also not have any 'task manager/killer' running. These apps are not only bad for your phone (been proven), but they also use more juice than they save. At least in my experience and from other posts I have read.

Those who have updated to zv8, what are the pros/cons of the actual update? Outside of losing GV goodness, what has your experience been?
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
Cons none.
The only reason for GV for me was battery life and debinged. Battery life has just about doubled with this update. So I can give a **** about going without bing. I'm not even rooted and don't miss the over clock or anything, the phone has been rock solid. I will check out the latest from MT and I appreciate his work, so I know the next release from him based off this update with be the ****. The root method for now is just ....ok I'm that lazy, there I said it

We're you using standard or extended battery?
I have not had any rebooting issues but I have only had vz8 on for a day. I don't know about battery life but I will keep monitoring it. I hope that it is better as I would only have 2 hours of actual usage but it I did not use my phone, the battery would be 70% after about 10 hours. I hope this update improves battery life during usage. This was on stock battery.
I was using GV1.3 as GV2.0 would drain my battery very fast. If I was not using my phone, GV2.0 would drain it to almost nothing is a few hours. It was horrible. This was because of the over clocking of the CPU and even if I dialed it down to close to stock, I still had battery issues.
I haven't had battery, reboot or screen issues with mine. I use the extended battery and even with moderate to heavy use, I can make it all day with no charger and if I have light use, I could probably go closer to 2 days. I do like the feel of the stock case as opposed to the extended, so if battery life is much better, it could be worth the update. I am still on GV2.0 and my phone is very smooth. Also wondering if anyone noticed better signal strength on the network or with their wifi.
I haven't had any issues yet with ZV8... I updated, rooted, deodexed, removed bing and all the bloatware. My stock battery is at nearly 17 hours with heavy use and im at 15%

My signal has been amazing, previous versions I would have a hard time staying connected to 3g/4g at my home (I live between 2 mountains). Now I switch occasionally between 3 and 4g but never cannot connect to a network. Wifi doesn't seen to have changed much for me, at least as far as range is concerned.

Talk to me goose...
I'm hearing a lot of praise in losing GV to zv8, but do you lose your Google Navigation? Long Press Search? Google Voice Commands?
Those things make any sort of an update a no-go if that's the case.

For me also the amount of battery life has been almost double what it was previously. The signal strength seems better also(I used to get disconnected when in certain areas of my house).
As reported by others, a pro is the stock browser doesn't seem to return you to the home screen anymore when you hit the back button. That was an annoying occurrence that I'm glad has gone away

Ahhh... The ADW.Ex is the answer. I'm on the stock launcher. I'll attempt loading ADW.Ex sometime this weekend.
Much better battery life as well as lte coverage. 2 months prior to the update I could not get lte. Had to run cdma mode only. Since the update I rarely even dip into 3g.

Ok... I installed ADW Launcher and it uses Google Search, but long press on search does nothing. I've searched a little and found nothing... Any tips?
So when updating to ZV8, we can keep root but not have CWM correct? Can someone please clarify this for me. I know there are instructions on how to save root from V7 to V8, but is there a way to flash CWM either manually through adb or another method? Do we lose GV due to CWM not being available, or it is mainly because the new updates don't exist in GV at the moment. I'm sorry if I seem confusing in any way. I just got my Revolution yesterday and have been used to working with the development of an HTC Droid Incredible 2. Thanks in advance!
mtmichaelson made an All In One to retain root and CWM. I haven't tried it myself but here's the thread in the Dev section.

Hey guys,
I want to buy a new phone and im thinking of buying the Xperia T. What's important for me is the batterylife and the screen. Ive got an arc at the moment and i know the sony screens are awesome so i.dont worry about that. But the battery life,.is there any ex-arc user here? Is the battery life better or worse? I use 3G all day and i mostly get through the day with 3.5 hours of screen usage with the arc. Can the xperia t give me the same result?

I upgraded from an Arc S. XperiaT is better in everyway. With regards to battery life, my Arc S would last about a day where as my XperiaT easily lasts 2-3days with a fair about of music(speaker, bluetooth, ear phones), photographs, bit of web browsing, all syncing on.
I hear battery life is excellent... On 3g. Usually using LTE makes the phone take a nose dive on battery life when using it because that is exactly what happened to me with my note 2.
So is anyone using it with LTE? And if yes, what is the battery life like?
I'm seriously considering getting it day 1 but I need to know!
I'm using LTE at the moment. No root, using T-mobile, and my battery life is amazing. I have my bluetooth headset connected to it all day and I can easily go 24 hours without needing to recharge it while streaming music for most of the day and watching videos randomly while browsing the web and light gaming.
I never use wi-fi either.
