I am running ARHD v3.6.1 as well and my phone is warm as well...I flashed the Bricked Kernel v1.2 and that has made a difference, but not significantly. I tried clocking back to 1.2Ghz but that has made no difference.
I have been running BK with v3.6.x and not had one reboot, just the warm phone problem.
I'm using energy oct3 version right now but phone is getting warm, but could just b the kernel using bricked v1.2, but when I was on oct2 version everything was amazing, phone never got hot, and battery life was amazing, and this is wwith brightness at 85% all the time, 4g on, and texting consatlly, couple calls and 6 hrs of music. Think I'm going to go back to stock kernel on Oct 3 version n if don't help I will b going back to oct2 version.

Nice will try energy then arhd wasn't a getting that good of battery life. The phone ran great just got warm.
try pyramid3D. its great. im running it right now. good battery life and rarely gets hot
InsertCoin! I'm telling you, this rom is quick, great battery life when you underclock it to 1.2ghz from the default 1.5ghz and it's amazing with the updates it gets, and get's better all the time. Great dev support as well.
if you can be bothered to read through the arhd thread (i know its huge) but theres some stuff about changing thermal config in there mite be useful to you
Faux kernels run really cool on my phone. I apply the thermal patch too but I don't know if it is necessary. You can his kernels on pretty much any rom.

Just changed my phone over from Gingerbread 21a to Gingerbread 21b. This seems like a massive improvement over 21a. Much less hassle with data connections dropping out and a really good difference in battery life. I know I can't root it yet but to be honest the phones so much better I'm not that bothered.
Happy for now, Pete

Can you post the link to the file? Adixtra's link doesn't work...
edit: you meant v20b or v21b?
Im really hoping someone finds a root for this soon. Ive tried everything i can find and no luck. Arent some of the roms here based on 21b, arent they rooted?
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App
they can just pull /system from the phone still. That doesn't require root.
I'm using the stock 21b from adixtras post....I've had the phone 6 months and the battery is now better than it has EVER been! If you want better battery life AND better phone connections get 21b it's wicked!

There is a rom that comes rooted with v21b. I haven't tried it though.

Ive got rooted v21b. just a suggestion: If you try that rom above, install it on a rooted v21a based rom with CWM. Woala rooted v21b
But what is the battery life like on these 21a/21b hybrid roms? Some say rushdroid still has battery issues. I'm telling you straight the battery life on stock 21b is UNREAL. after 18 hours I've still got 40% charge left! I have not had to use a spare battery yet, that's amazing! I usually have to change batteries after 8-12 hours, but not now.

Actually I installed PowerMax + Fastreboot + SetCPU, and with moderate useage (all the time BT is on cuz of music listening) it lasts for ~27-30 hours incl. sleeping hours
In overall im pretty much satisfied with my current setup, but if you got an idea which would increase the performance (battery & system) its always welcome
Bertram
Over 36 hours from a single charge to 15% left "warning" with my usual amount of daily usage. I've never had better battery life from this phone. I have the display about 25% and "koi live wallpaper" running all the time. No app killers and no "battery saver" apps running. I do still get an occasional data "hang" and have to reboot but it is far less of a problem than it was on 21a. If you are getting a "your phone is on the latest software" message look at adixtras post in the android development section of this forum. He has the files, tools and info to load this onto your phone in the first post.

Acura rom V7.1 is based on mix between v21a/21b I used it for some time but now I am back to Thiaiz because with time Acura becomes to slow and it shows plenty of lags. Everythomg about acura you can see on acura thread.
Hey xda, Ive got this rarely used g2x. Don't even got a simcard for mainly using it for fun I guess but I am gonna get it in service soon. Thing is I am getting terrible battery life on all recent roms, eb gb and ics and Hellfire gb and ics, I got stock battery, even with kernals my battery's terrible, looking for reccomended roms and kernals and any tricks/mods to improve battery life, and remember this is even without any data usage and am still getting this amount of battery life.

You never told us what you have tried, or what kinda battery life you are getting. Also did you put the phone in airplane mode so it isn't looking for service?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
For example I just turned the phone on from after being in the charge for 7 hours, i then immediately went to xda app and then checked the battery and found it at 96%.

I dont remember which kernels specifically but I did say which roms, I've flashed all.of them atleast twice but am willing to do so again.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I've found that ICS roms are horrible on battery life. Also, like mt3g said, put it in airplane mode since you aren't on a mobile network. Take a look at this thread too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054420
Should I use Hellfire or eb gb, I've heard that eb is better but hellfire's gb was updated more recently, and which suggested kernal to go with it. I understand that it all depends in your phone but what in.your experience / opinion is the best combo.

The rom I'm using right now is Eaglesblood build 2.8 which is GB 2.3.7. I get pretty decent battery life just using the kernal that is built into it normally. I was having a few problems with HFP 2.1 so I switched to this and haven't looked back. Even though it isn't the most recent I still feel like its the best, just my opinion though.
I have got the best battery life so far with Eagles blood GB as well. HFS v1.5 is giving me ok battery life but EGB gave me double time as this ROM

Try them out, read the threads to see common issues and things that work well. Stop asking everyone here to do that little bit of work for you.
XDA is not your personal slave, we should not, and will not spoon feed you. Look around, spend more then 2 minutes looking at the first post. If you put in a good effort, people will be willing to help you, but just constantly asking for which ROM is just lazy.
You did not answer the question of whether you put the phone in airplane mode, you have not said any of the ROMs you've tried (other than all of them, which I doubt). At least pretend to give a ****...
Search!!!! there are tons of threads on how to increase battery life
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
? I don't think you give a **** because if you read my post you would of known that I'd have tried eb ics and gb, and hellfire ics and gb rom, and i've actually spent hours reading pages in the roms topic and other places, and I forgot to answer that question, my answer is no I don't even have a simcard in the phone for it to be searching for service and enabling it would stop wifi which is what I do use.
You can put the phone into Airplane mode and then enable WiFi. Even though you don't have a Sim install it can still try to search for a network and drain the battery. It will need a network without a Sim to be able to call 911 if needed.

Just go back to the kernal you had before and it should be fine
@ctowne... I would love to know what you are doing that makes your battery life that good with a stock kernel. I'm running cm 7.0.2 and I've charged my phone a couple times through heavy use. I have cut a lot of the processes down and did all the troubleshooting to get better battery life and its still draining like **** during heavy ( or what I would call heavy) use

I don't think its necessarily the stock kernal. It's the one that is built in to Eaglesblood GB. Also try to follow this guide, it seemed to help my battery life. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054420 I did get around 30 hours on that charge but it varies quite a bit depending on usage. I always get a full day of moderate use though. Try switching to Eaglesblood GB and follow that guide to 20 hour battery life and see if it helps. If not, your battery could just be old/bad. Hope this helps!
Yeah i tried the eaglesblood rom and wasn't too impressed. Im sure that it was good for performance, however i immediately missed the customization with cm7 (adw launcher) and the themes that came with it. after i have flashed the faux123 kernel on here with cm7, im happy to say my battery life is incredible. i fished all day yesterday and listened to music while texting a bit and making a few phone calls. was out for about 10 hours and had only used 40% of my battery. so for anyone looking for a good cm7 kernel, the faux has been the best i have found yet
Why is it that whenever I use a faux kernel my battery temp is at 52.70 fareheit.and when I use a bricked kernel my battery temperature is 77.18 fareheit.I have read and see that a lot of people that run bricked kernels are running battery temperatures of 32-40 fareheit.could it be because I running a bricked kernel on a sense Rom and there using a bricked kernel on a aosp,aokp,nonsense Rom.I don't understand I'm trying to run a bricked kernel at preferably lower temperatures.any help or information on this would be appreciated. Thanks...

Can you please share were did you find the information?
40 Fahrenheit is about 4.5 Celsius and you can have that battery temp when using your phone in a fridge LOL
77 Farenheit is 25 Celsius, which is normal for the battery
Hi I run bricked kernel, i never
Had a problem with overheating, ive also ran faux, tamcore, shebastion, none have ever over heated on me! IM not sure why your having problems overheating? Perhaps its your battery giving you trouble. Maybe look into that because the kernels never caused over heating. Hope this helps! Good luck

I have had other members on her tell me that they run bricked kernels and.I have asked mote than one person what there battery temperatures usually run st and 3 different people told me that they are running bricked kernels and ones batt temp was 34 and another persons was 40 fareheit batt temp because at that time I was running a faux kernel and my batt temp was 52.70 fareheit.I know its not my battery because when I change right back to a faux kernel it goes back down to 52.70 fareheit.when I had Gingerbread 2.3.4 on my phone when I bought it new my battery temp was always 76.81 fareheit so I know my phones alright its not overheating I was just wondering how the heck those other people where getting there phones battery temp down to 34-42 fareheit with bricked kernels that all.

I dont know but I do know I'm running bricked now and IM running cool temp. No overheating. However IM underclocked for battery saving. But even when I over clocked for performance it never ran hot on bricked.

What temp is your battery temp?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app
i'm using faux and my battery temp always around 10 celsius. and i know that is wrong.
I use faux kernel since v7. The battery temps are between 8º - 19º Celsius in summer and lower in winter. This temperatures are with a sleep mobile, obviusly.
Possible wrong information feom the battery. Just think - you have 25 celsius in your room, yet battery has 4.5 - that's just nonsense.
Sent from my customized HTC Sensation with TTP 2
Faux always shows me temps below room temperature too.
Flash any other kernel and the temp goes up 30 degrees F. So there is some odd error in Faux for reading temp. Great kernels otherwise though!

Hi guys
I'm on RemICS v3.0 based on 4.2.1 CM alpha 3. From a little my battery goes to death in just 12 hours! I installed both Better Battery Stats and Gsam battery monitor! I noticed just some wakelocks during the night but I noticed (with Gsam) that Media process is draining a lot of battery! I think (took a look on the web) it is a notorius problem! Can someone help me to figure it out! Thank you!

Maybe ur battery's life had gone & should go for new one.
To check, once take out ur battery & spin it on flat surface, if it spins then it's swollen & that means battery has to be changed.

I think. that 12 hours is quite good. For me it's last just about for 8-7 hours depending on usage.

One year and a half is the age of mine when it started behaving like you describe.
Mine never got to last more than 18 hours, even when the battery was good and with a stock rom. All of a sudden I had to start hoping to get to my office before my battery died. And I live 1 hour away from my office!
Believe me and those who suggest changing the battery. A honest 1900 mAh battery is rather cheap on ebay, and can bring you that reassuring feeling of having power enough at least for a whole day!
