I'm looking forward to the gingerbread release mostly for the battery drain fix. If they can make this phone last 2-4 days without bleeding dry just sitting idle then I'd die a happy man...
Do u know if the next update has the lg camera app like froyo?

Don't get a smartphone if u want it last 2-4 days. That's asking the impossible. Or get a lame iphone 4. Id have to say its a beast in the battery department.

My old mytouch used to last 2.5 days... 24 hours should not be to much to ask. Currently it seems impossible for this g2x to go 12 hours.

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.

Little ticked with this g2x battery, but you got a point with the iphone. Someone laughed at my battery, saying their iphone was so much better and all that meanwhile he hardly used the phone. Then I also have a co-worker that barely gets 5-6 hours without recharging as well.
This turned into ANOTHER battery thread.

Come on guys, I cleaned this thread. Why the rudeness??. The OP is just stating something he wanted to share with this community and you start posting about his grammar and other nonsense stuff.
Please, just focus in the discussion or just read the post (with no comments, if you are not going to contribute).
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.
Users that updated their G2X to V21E, you getting any random reboots or freezing? Please report in this post. Thanks!
Nope not yet and seem overall faster, but only time will tell.
Is Wifi fixed?
Yea, the true test will be a couple of days of uptime...

Been only a few hours guys. Take a day or 2 to test this out. Battery, WIFI, GPS, Reboots...etc
None so far... but the true test is when it's on my charger at night. So we will see...
None so far. Definitely noticeable increase in speed. No wifi or GPS issues yet either. Only bug so far is the 4g and signal status not switching to green indicating network connection to Google. Does on my N1.

my phone sometimes freezes or becomes unresponsive to my fingers...
I will be flashing back to 2.2. I never had a single reboot in the 4 months I've had the phone and now in 3 hours since I have updated, the phone has rebooted 4 times and froze twice. Also, my GPS would lock in 10 seconds with 20 feet of accuracy and now its taking a couple minutes to lock with 100 feet of accuracy. I really hope this isn't the finished product.

Your crazy. ;-)
Is your phone set to Max brightness or is it on auto? If its on auto, I bet LG reprogrammed the code to dim the backlight more than it was before so people don't notice it as much. Mine has always been minimal but its still the same at max brightness. A software update ain't going to fix a hardware issue.

That jrwingate6 guy is some sort of shill poster,
claims to love the phone,
the next day he hates it,
next day he says he is leaving the forum because he is selling it,
next day he is complaining that he is keeping it because he can not sell it, next day he is whining that he never has had a problem with the phone,
next day he is complaining that GB is never coming,
next day he is saying the G2x is being recalled and will never be sold on T-mobile again,
next day he is saying he just updated to GB but it sucks so he is going to need to remove it
And he continues. if he is not some sort of paid corporate troll....its a pity because he is working it hard.
jrwingate6, I called you on this before....its fine....if I see your reply you can assume, I passed it off as gar-bauge and moved on.

ok so at least my sense of smell is still working
not to mention his sig says he's on the Sensation lol
Um, you guys know this is a test rom, right?
Yeah, not a single problem with the update. No reboots (never had them to begin with). This may not be the final GB but so fast I'm completely satisfied.

OK, JR and I disagree more than we agree, and I'm sure he can defend himself but:
- claims to love the phone
He talks positively about aspects of it.
-the next day he hates it
He talks negatively about aspects of it.
-next day he says he is leaving the forum because he is selling it
He kept it because he got it free from T-Mobile and it does some things better than the Sensation.
-next day he is complaining that he is keeping it because he can not sell it, next day he is whining that he never has had a problem with the phone
I don't know where you pulled this from but it doesn't sound like JR
-next day he is complaining that GB is never coming
So?
-next day he is saying the G2x is being recalled and will never be sold on T-mobile again
Lots of rumors about this. JR tends to quote from a source though.
-next day he is saying he just updated to GB but it sucks so he is going to need to remove it
Too early to tell if others are going to experience the same thing.
Tom, you're the one that still believes the phone's not for sale on tmobile.com because it's so popular. You're no stranger to sharing and defending unique opinions so it's odd you chose to single out JR. You've gone after me too. I come here to hear different opinions. I can figure out which one's to believe without a self-appointed moderator telling me.
So I finally did it. After having numerous issues,replacements, etc, and an offer to "upgrade" my 4g to 3g......what a joke.....Verizon finally agreed to move my replacement date up from 11/12 to now. Any new phone but apple 4s what what I am told. The delemma at hand....do I spring for nexus, razr, or wait it out and see what come in the next few,months? Currently on the charge with root n some minor weeks. Thoughts?
Sent from my xoom, through my charge via wifi tether, while sitting in the middle of nowhere, all while being chased by manbearpig.
I would keep the Charge unless totally not useable and you need it for work. As they say new things are always coming out and the Nexus is probably old news by now lol. My wife kills her phone and complains. I was up over 15 hours yesterday and talked, texted, sms, pictures and still had 40%. Only 1 FC and it was a known issue.

How did you manage to get them to move the update? I've gone through five replacements in the last three months and my upgrade date is 11/23/12.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk
Numerous calls and denials, finally emailed them, got a response to call customer service, explained that all i wanted was to have my date moved up. Got transferred to customer loyalty, they ok'd it. Only thing is, no apples and i have to call in to purchase since my online account still shows my 11/12 renewal date but yhe notations say that i am ok to upgrade.

Hi guys.
Some two months ago, I got the AT&T update which destroyed the battery life on this phone. Small tasks make it turn warm quickly and it lags a lot.
Ex: on the first KK update, my G2 on standby could stay at 100% for several hours. Now with this newest update, my G2 on standby stays at 100% for about an hour or so.
Does anyone know how to return to the very first KitKat update that added Knock Code to the G2? I can't stand the barely one-day battery life anymore.
