New optimus 2x user

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

[Q] Battery life unusually short

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!

Battery Drain on 2.3.3

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....
Background data is a process that using OS of ur phone heavily.

Ok, I'll try this and we'll see how long the battery will last once it's full. Meanwhile, any other ideas would also be appreciated.

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.

On first run, I got around 1800. Second run was 2180. Pretty much as expected.

Try doctorz rom....hope u ll hav long battery life

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.

RAZR i: Screen killing battery (JB?)

My screen is using all the battery and I'm not totally sure if this is JB but I do think I got more juice on ICS. Whatever the case, my settings are:
1. Simple wallpaper, mostly black
2. Brightness at 50%, auto-dim on
3. Smartaction: using music turns brightness down to absolute minimum
Result? Phone lasts about one day, but it last longer on ICS. The battery says about 75-85% of the juice has been used by the screen alone. How can this be? Time on is about 2-2.5 hours per day.
Anyone else? Any tips, ideas?

Can anyone else confirm if there is a battery life issue on JB? I have downloaded the udpate but not installed yet. The feedback I have been reading is very mixed from significantly shorter battery life to actual improvements after the update.

Well I'm on JB and have awesome battery life.
About 2 days and a half with 6 hours screen on and 1 or 2 hours GPS.
I froze a lot of apps, including google search (google now) wich for some people seems to be a battery drain app.

You're lucky ^^ I will steal your phone and leave mine :good:
OK I chatted with Moto, they said the first thing to do is reset the phone. I doubt if that will do much, but I've done it anyway, I'm charging so will report on this probably tomorrow.
Another tip I've read is to reset cache in the recovery menu, I haven't been able to access it in JB for some reason.

OK I can say that after resetting the phone to factory settings after the Jelly Bean update has helped a lot. Now I'm very happy.

Can you tell me which ROM you are using? I'm on the EU and experienced bad battery life after the JB update, I'm trying a factory reset now.

My phone was bought in Germany and exported from there. So, EU ROM? The factory reset helped me a lot.
P.s. I notice that the testers at GSM arena achieve 7 hours internet use or 8 hours video use at 50% brightness. I want to achieve this! The best I've got is about 5 hours mixed screen use.

I did that too but after a few weeks it went back its old ways

I updated to JB eventually, reset the phone from scratch and can't notice any difference in battery life.

Battery saving tip

Guys i would like to share with you a good battery saving tip, I Downloaded 2 applications that made my phone get twice the battery i used to get.
Go ahead and download wakelock detector and greenify apps. Wakelock detector will help you identify which apps continuosly wake up your processor and this is what mainly keeps your phone from deep sleep which means continuos battery drain, once you identify these misbehaving apps you can either do 2 things:
1. Uninstall those apps
2. greenify those apps(root required). This is very useful because this app allows you to hibernate the activities of the apps you want to control. This gives you the chance to manipulate apps and free your phone from constant battery drain.
For me Facebook app is the worse and heavy battery drainer so i keep it greenified. Just by this i get around twice the battery i used to get.
I hope this helps, i know there are many of us that have complained about battery life in this phone. In my case the phone was not the problem but poorly designed apps.

[Q] Battery Drain & Various Freezes

Hi everyone! Nice to be back in the Xda Community, even though what brings me here again is not that nice.
I bought the Thunder Q 4.5 for my girlfriend last Christmas, amazed by its awesome specs offered at the great price of 99 €. The problem is that, after few weeks, the phone began to freeze suddenly and turning off after a fast and unexplicable battery drain. Have you ever faced those kind of problems with your device? Any suggestion?
Thank you very much.
