I didn't think I would like it at all either. However I have grown to love it, the way it is places on this phone actually helps holding it better. Of course that is just my opinion.
I need help my battery life is terrible and I don't know how to fix. I have a battery information app and the battery chart drops.

We're going to need more information than that to help you out.
ROM?
Kernel?
Name of "Battery Monitoring" App?
Current Data use?
Signal strength in your area?
All of these will be very helpful in figuring out what your issue is.
Try to be patient, I'm a little new. But here's what I know.
Froyo 2.2
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Battery Monitor Widget App
Data usage isn't high.
I don't know how to find ROM
My display takes 93% but my brightness is all the way down and my signal is always pretty strong.

Im guessing your one the stock at&t froyo. Think about going into the captivate android development section and flash a custom rom. They seem to provide better battery life and are much better than what came with this phone.

You can also disable wifi, bluetooth, and GPS when not in use - that should help.
In my experience the fastest way to better battery life is flash a new kernel. speedmod-kernel-i897-k13e is very stable. Also turn off auto-rotate and auto brightness.
A big battery killer for me is background data and auto sync, I leave it all off, along with the stuff every one else said.
Also, try calibrating your battery.
The only thing I've done to my phone is root. And I've turned off all the auto stuff, I have no idea how to "flash the rom" or anything else.

If your display takes up 93% of battery that's usually a good sign, it means that there's probably nothing in the background sucking up all the juice. Have you tried "bump charging" or replacing the battery? They do tend to go bad or lose calibration if you've overheated them one too many times.
Whenever I charge my phone it seems to get extremely hot. The battery app said like 115° to 120°

What exactly is bump charging?

Is that f or c? My battery temp is 33 degrees c.

In my experience, the jk4 modem has the best battery life.

Try Juice Defender in the Android Market, made a big different for me.
In my experience Froyo roms have all been garbage battery life *first leak, stock, Perception, Cognition, SuperNova, Phoenix Unleashed* I could never get more then 10 hours on the battery and less with wifi on. Now with GB *perception 2 beta 3*, I get 18 hours with Bluetooth on, Background Sync On, under H *3G*, and the original battery that came with the phone. I am putting up with some of the issues that 2.3.3 has but to me I cannot go back to froyo as my battery life has never been this good Including with jf6 2.1 that originally shipped with my phone.
HTH,
Charlie
I put it on the charger. Only went up to 35c (95f)

While that may be the case, it doesn't always provide for the best signal. You have to test each one and see what works best for your area/situation.
Your battery temp seems very high. You may want to swap the battery before trying other things. Is the phone new? If so, At&t store should agree to swap it out for you.

Hey, I'm still curious, and no one really commented in my previous post: does rapid charge via USB harm the battery? Does it cancel out HTC 's over charge protection or is that hardware not software?

It's safe. It just charges quicker like if you where to buy a rapid charger for your phone. It still has the overcharge protection. Honestly it probably only works with adapters that support it and certain USB ports on pc's. I haven't actually tested it out though to see if it charges faster with the normal HTC USB plug. It's a feature that clockan put in his kernel so I am just taking his word for it.
Well I can assure you it charges a LOT faster than usual. Using the same charger, but switching ROMS between your stock and v2, it's way way faster. Thanks!

It never dawned on me to Google clockan instead of rapid charge via USB...duh. I found a post where he elaborated on it a little, in response to a guy's question (which was what I was trying to ask but didn't articulate nearly as well). Basically, it applies to car chargers and the ilk, I think, not wall chargers. Still, I've noticed that while it charges twice as fast, it seems to burn faster too. I don't know if it's the 2wcr or just not as thorough a charge our plain old placebo effect. Thanks, though. You've given me a dozen new articles to read just on USB charging standards!

Does anybody know where I could find a proper reliable battery for the g2x?
I don't care if it is regular capacity or extended, as long as it fits using the original battery casing. Maybe prodicell?
There are a bunch on amazon like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/OEM-1500mAh-S...0154892&sr=1-3&keywords=lg+optimus+2x+battery
Any ideas? All the debates on this forum are mostly for the andid "Extended" (not really) battery.
According to reviews by purchasers, it looks like it's good to go.
I just ordered one of these extended batteries. Should i clear battery stats in cwm or not?

Battery Stats only shows you what apps/services have been using your battery... it has nothing to do with it storing any type of information about the min/max capacity or charge your battery has...
Anyone know where I can get an Anker slim battery for the G2x? I can't take too much more of 5 hours on mostly standby :banghead:

Hello,
I just bought two 1800 mAh stock batteries. I would like to know the best way to condition the batteries. My charge/data port is broken and I charge the batteries via an external charger. I am also running Calkulins ROM. Thank you in advance.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Just fully charge them and put them to use. LiPo batteries in phones require no conditioning.
What vader stated. Just use the phone like you normally would.
I am using them normally.
The battery drops a HUGE amount on a reboot.
