Thought you guys would get a LOL out of this... on my 3rd battery from tmobile trying to convince them to just send me a new phone.. told the rep it dies in 4 hours of idle time... His excuse "well that's because the G2x is a very powerful phone that does a lot of things so 4 hours is about normal." bahahaha nice try. new phone arrives tuesday.

Talked to them about this today. I have been losing about 20% an hour while plugged into USB (while using the phone). They just read the steps the computer shows them.
First I was told that I need a task manager to kill apps I am not running. I was also told if I have a lot of apps that could cause this too. I mentioned that apps in memory aren't using the processor, and therefore not causing battery drain. I was then informed that having a lot of apps could cause the phone to run slowly. I mentioned I wasn't having issues with the phone running slow, but an issue with battery drain. They then told me that the processor has to work harder when there are stalls due to having many apps. I then asked why there was so much memory on the phone for apps, and mentioned that working in development myself, have no idea how this could be. There was no more discussion about this.
I was then asked how much I charge my phone. I said I charge it over night to full, and then while I am using at my desk I usually have it plugged in to the computer by USB when I use the phone, which equals to about half to 75% of the work day. I was told this was too much and there was no response when I mentioned again that this was during use and it was still draining. My only other option was to let the phone die.
A few more things to check and they finally said they were going to send out a new one, but that they were required to go through those trouble shooting steps first. At that point it is obvious they repeat what they are told.

More people need to emphasis this. I'm so very tired of 'tech support' telling folks to use task managers and killers on Android.
so far running cm7 and now cm7 xboarder v1.0.1, I am getting anywhere from 17-23 hours of battery life on a daily basis. I am texting throughout the day, regular phone calls with at least a 45 min call every noight and regular pandora use for around 5 hours a day. After rooting, my battery life tripled and then cm7 and its variants are making it even better. just my 2 cents
X boarder?

id say my battery life is pretty good, cm7 RC1 and fauxs kernel. lasts me all day maybe more. moderate use too.
Ehh whenever im at the t-mobile store and they're always speaking nonsense, complete idiots.
I spoke to an escalation Rep at LG and she told me LG is okay with 25% drain an hour. Ha! L

My pet theory concerns the charger. Did a battery swap and still had issues. This was the week the phone was released. Started using my hd2 chargers and have had zero issues since. In reality there are probably several issues, but this is what has worked for me.
make sure you guys turn off led notifications...kills the battery in no time
Any idea how to turn it off? Looked everywhere for that setting

My captivate works fine when running a non rooted stock rom, but as soon as I root it and load my apps it starts to get random shutdowns, so it's not overclocking or undervolting. I'm on darky's right now, and I am getting several shutdowns a day. I tried un installing multiple apps with root access to no avail.. Is it possible for a non root app to cause shut downs? I sent my phone in and it was sent back just fine because it was on stock eclair. I don't want to have to trade it in for an iphone but if it continues to shut down I will. Is there any way to diagnose the problem, or even fix it? I think it is an app issue.

Did you try a different kernel? All phones react different, I can't currently use i9000 roms. Worth a shot.
Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.
I tried Darky's and I got the same thing. I have switched to FireFly and have had no problems at all. Paragon is a good ROM as well.
I had the same problem but I would only have the majority of my shut downs within the first 10% of my battery after a full charge. After that for the most part, it would be just fine after that. I'm using cog 4.1 and have been for the last few months and I can count on 1 hand the number of times it shut off. I found that after a full charge,immediately after taking it off the charger, reboot the phone and it runs all day with no problem since I started doing that.

My best guess is that the officially confirmed bad ram problem is to blame. the rooted apps might be accessing bad sections of the ram and causing crashes. It makes sense that the frequency changes depending on which rom you are using since they all handle ram management differently
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
See I would think it was my kernel or rom if it didnt happen on stock eclair. It happens at any battery percentage.. I really don't know what to do. I might be able to trade it for an Iphone 3gs.. I really want to keep the phone but it seems like I might be stuck with a permanently shutting down phone.. which I can't keep.
How long have you had it? I just returned mine for a new/refurbed one a few days ago. I bought mine in Oct. I'm lucky enough to have a ATT service store near me. Went in, told them I had the shut down problem. Swapped phones and out the door. They are honoring the 1yr replacement from Samsung. Got a 1009 that has perfect GPS, for now, haha.
I got mine refurb, and sent it in to samsung, no go. Do you think an att store in a mall would honor the one year?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Since yours was refurbed, I think the warranty is limited by everyone to 30 days. Mine was new. One of the few perks to NOT getting a refurb.
I had same problem running seremdipity . Now i run continue and no more shut downs. I guess u should try other Rom like mentioned before
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Give AT&T a call via 611 or their 800 number. I think the refurb policy is actually 90 days, but from my experience, if you complain hard enough and be rational and reasonable about your requests, they usually budge. I had the same shut down problem with my captivate. First thing they did was send me a new battery in case that was the problem, didn't have to return my original battery so I now have 2. Then after another call back, they told me to go to the service center and I swapped it out in under 3 minutes no problem. Just make sure to Odin to stock before returning your phone.
install setcpu app and set your min clock to 200 that helped some people with shutdown issues
Hey guys, fairly new but I just got the g2x on wednesday and well, let's say I drained the battery (30% when I got it), and then charged it fully, and then fully charged it again, and let it drain.
My battery is horrendous, and I don't even use the phone that much. I'm losing 20% battery in a half hour - 1 hour just texted someone twice, used facebook for a maximum of 10 minutes, and searched/downloaded some apps I found very useful.
I know this is redundant, but I'm not sure what to do, i'm afraid to play NOVA or need for speed just because my battery is draining so quickly from just texting and minor functions.
I have TaskPanel to auto-kill anything, but I'm not sure that's really doing anything. Not going to lie, the battery improved from yesterday's charge. Maybe I need to give it time? But after 2 days, it's still frustrating.
Someone help
Call T-Mobile, get a new battery or exchange the phone. You have two weeks to decide if you want to keep it.
That's what I'm doing. Or just try a factory reset.

what apps are 'extremely' useful? Id wipe, then download them one at a time. One of them is likely causing the fast drain.
If that doesnt help, def. take it back to the store for a swap.

I'm on my third run through=charged fully, run down to 1%, charged fully, run down to 1%, charged fully.
Right now, I'm at 75% after 4 hours, which is much better than before. Yesterday I was at about 10% per hour with only minimal use.
Give it time.
Went to t-mobile, there was a phone specialist from LG there, and he put Advanced Taskiller froyo for me, and now i ran down the battery and am fully charging it again. Hopefully it works.

My Nexus One with no sim card inserted lasted almost 5 days before finally quitting. Im sure if someone was able to tweak the polling timeouts and data consumption on idle we could get 2 days out of a phone easily (with no use)
You have to remember some people dont use their phones like us. This is also why I think iPhones are viewed as having amazing battery life. Android users love to play with their phones, the screen really never shuts off.
What's the point in having a phone with no sim card lasting 5 days? I can get the same use out of a brick. Not trying to dis but really, what's the point?

no it doesn't like i said i already played with it and everything change to gingerbread
guys i dont think they'll make a phone with the batter last 2-3 days.. for reasons when your phone is working on the time even when its asleep... like web,facebook,email and more
i had a nokia back when their were popular and the battery lasted 2-3 days because it wasnt such a thing like wifi. facebook or other stuff that make your phone run all the time.... you can have an extra battery if you dont want to be without a phone when that battery drains...
you know what i didnt though about it... but he suppost to have that phone to test this week and when he bring it over ill take a picture with it.... and like i say the last time he got the phone to test the battery lasted 4 hours max and thats why their taking their time to resolve that problem
Im actually on day 3 but Im only running 500 Mhz and its under volted I just did this to see how long it would last with light use

Ive been using a vzw iphone 4 for the last couple days, and ill say, its battery is much better than the first g2x i had. I absolutely hammer that battery..with around 5-6 hours screen on time..and it holds up well.
I've read along time ago before the first iphone came out that the battery would be integrated into the whole device and that it would fit into unused "nooks and crannies" to give it that extra lasting power. The only downside, I believe is that you can't manually change out the iphone battery. So that's why the iphone has a greating operating time.
Although I'm glad LG and other Android manufacturers didn't limit us Android device owners with a non changeable battery, I believe that they can tweak the operating system to not "bleed" the battery when just on standby and just being idle without the user not actively using the phone.
Even with Wifi, data, bluetooth, GPS, screen display etc. disabled, after a few hours on non use it's not surprising to find the battery has drained sometimes up to 10% within 2 hours. This is unacceptable, and doesn't have to be this way.
Fix it google by disabling the "spyware" you implemented into the android OS.

Thanks,
I know battery life is one of the big issues Gingerbread's supposed to fix. The SGS2 came out on 2.3.3. and the battery life has pretty much been abysmal. Samsung's releasing a 2.3.4. update next week. This explains why...
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Almo...uffering-from-power-consumption-issue_id19060
On the bright side, the battery *****ing on the Sensation forum hasn't been too bad and they're on 2.3.3. So maybe the OEM's can do some driver tweaking to get past the problem. It might just be something to keep in your back pocket should the LG update be on 2.3.3.
Verizon offered me a Droid Charge or LG Revolution if I wanted for free for my Bolt because of the issues with the random restarts. Anyone know how good those phones are? I really love my Bolt but they and Htc both said it can be anywhere from 1-2 months to fix the issues and get the update out.
If you are upset with your bolt because of restarts and you are set of getting rid of it I would go with the Charge as the most comparable phone to the Bolt. LG's phone has a 5mp camera on the front which is a downgrade and i am not sure about memory on it but the charge has about the same specs. Personally I still think the bolt is the best of the three phones but I am not a big fan of the plastic feel of both the Charge and the Revo.
Final thoughts. I'd say root your bolt and stick it out. But if you want to change go with the Charge.
Yea I love my Bolt its the best but I might stick it out I'm thinking of going and checking the charge out today and see how it feels to me.

They won't just offer something like that. You'll be lucky to get a new phone if you are outside of the 14 days. I had to fight to what seemed like the death just to get a new replacement for my TB. I've learned my lesson on contracts. Full retail from here on out. If what wouldn't have started the process to leave and pay my 900 in etf's for my 4 lines, then I would have probably still gotten another junk refurb. I haven't even gotten close to getting a comparable warranty replacement for my TB.
I would stick with the thunderbolt. When I first bought the tb I was seriously getting restarts randomly about 10 times a day. Did a little research then did this.
Root phone. Load das bamf remix 1.7 rom with the kernel that came with the full rom dl. Downloaded lte onoff and left lte off until I actually needed it on for heavy downloads or streaming. Changed cpu settings to 1.2ghz with a governor of smartass.
I did not get a random reboot since. I started using bamf right when they released 1.6.3. I get 12-14 hour battery life on work days with light usage. Light usage is checking facebook notification every now and then. Texting back and forth here and there. Stream music to my bluetooth. And finally watching half an hour of sports or movies streaming on justin.tv.
I love this phone... Super amoled screen is bomb tho.

All I did was tell them that I have had it replaced 4 time which I have for this and other reasons and said that I've done over 10 factory wipes and nothing worked and told them that customer service said that tech support could change the phone to something else or the loyalty department but if they did I would have to stick with it and then the guy transferred me to the supervisor and she said she would do it but if I did and they send me the other phone I can't go back even after they fix the issues with the Bolt. So I just had her put it in the notes so that I could think about it and that was it. I even went last night to a vz store to play around with the charge and see if she did put the notes and they were there.
****** PROBLEM SOLVED ******
"I decided to buy a new battery from Amazon which didn't cost that very much. My phone is back to normal so it was my battery I'm guessing like the battery exploded because it felt all lumpy & stuff."
** Thank you everyone who left suggestions & answers to help me with my problem much appreciated! **
Okay I've recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S 4G for about 2 weeks now & I am currently having some problems with my phone. I'm not sure if its my phone or the ROMs that I am flashing. The problem that I am having is that when I'm using my phone that has a full battery my phone just shuts off completely. I turn it back in on the battery is almost dying so I charge the phone. When its done charging I unplug it & continue to use my phone, but for some reason it keeps turning off on me. I can't use my phone at all because of this the only way I can use my phone is if its plugged in to charge. I thought maybe it was the ROM that I am using which was Valhalla FINAL so I flashed it again & I get the same result. So, I decided to download a different ROM which was HebrewValhalla3.5_AROMA & guess what I get the same result. I really want to use my phone, but I can't so if someone can please help I would really appreciate it very much!
So what do you think could be the problem is it the ROMs that I am flashing or what? Please give me some tips & what ROMs do you recommend? I really need anyone's help...Thanks

I would have to say its not Valhalla final because i am running it with no problems. I have 1day 12hrs 35mins on a single charge. With 38% left on battery. Simply rooting your phone would not cause massive battery issues. Gotta be something more going on.
just wanted to chime in. i was having the same issue, but my sgs4g has been rooted with froyo 2.2.1 since i took it to a guy to root it for me(i had bricked my first one ha!) when KD1 was still the thang. and just a few months ago i started having this problem out of no where, just as used described it op, except i haven't been flashing anything on or off it, and i thought it had to do with a shetty app i had installed. i put a 'new' battery in and had the same issue, eventually the new battery(which was a very sensitive 1500mAh i bought for $20 at a local phone spot) blew up when a gf sat on me while it was in my pocket. the batteries seem really sensitive, there's a warning label to not apply pressure to the battery and it's easy to do with the sgs4g. anyway i went out and bought a 900mAh from best buy for 40 bucks :"""( but it works fine now. battery slowly creeps to zero like its supposed to. i haven't flashed anything or changed anything app-wise, still rooted.
when i was having this problem i also found that there's a battery calibration app for when you flash a new rom, but it didn't help me. worth a shot when you flash a new rom though i reckon.
hope that helps!
Sensitive? Really? Lmao
That's a load of crap.
I have 4 batteries that i charge on a continuous basis with an external charger and 2of them have been thru hell and back and still work as good as new. And for your info battery calibration apps do nothing good for your battery.
I'm not saying they don't go bad cuz I've had several that have....but sensitive? I'm not buyin that.
I am an ironworker and keep my extra batteries in my pocket all day every day and always have one in the charger.
As for rooting your phone causing the battery problems.....not buyin that either....that my friend is in your head....or there's more to it than your telling us.
