Wulfredz,

Really appreciate you reply in professionally.
Do I want to have a try on other custom roms or wait for GB??
My Top 5

1. Cell Standby 43%
2. Phone Idle 42%
3. Voice calls 14%
4. Display 3%

Most of the time the phone last for 1 day.

Ikjune,

I think everyone here felt that too, waiting for update that fixes the problems & its taking forever. I too felt that too as i bought the phone when it was launch & LG promise gingerbread update soon for this phone and yes Original price was 1899  sweat.gif

How i go around the problem so i can use this phone without throwing it out (eeer, its 1.8 k item to throw? and vent your anger.....  sweat.gif not a good idea so i searched for solutions around)

1. Long waiting for update...
   I went around and tryout other custom roms, its nightmare at 1st, but as time goes by, alot improvement you can see & it started to look good on the phone as other users contribute solution to the phone & when you get one ROM which you like, the phone felt really good. Now the roms are more mature & stable, not as bad as the time i started. Give it a try and decide whether you want to sell off the phone after you try those roms. If you don't like it, restore your original rom & sell it off.

2. Auto reboot is so annoying...
    This problem is contributed by the original charger which *somehow* overcharge the phone and screw it up, how? hmm if you read my earlier post on it, you will understand... too lengthy to start explain here again

3. I am still using the stock rom - v10e I don't know why some of the time my phone can't received sms or call.
    Hehehehe its known problem as this is cause by the unstable switching between 2G & 3G network and after a while, it stop responding but it shows the phone is connected but you cant receive sms or make call. This is does not happens all the time but it happens on area where 3G is weak/overlapping of service cells. Default your phone is set to WCDMA preferred and GSM as 2nd selection.

Solution, select 'Use only 2G network' on those area, as for me, my workplace is one of the in this category, so it happens to me ALL the time until i found the solution biggrin.gif

4. Drain battery..
Hmm, i strongly agreed  rolleyes.gif Different people have different cause, open up your phone 'Click settings ->About phone ->Battery use' and tell me what is your top 5 usage

Common cause

i'll list some of them down below and you decide which is your.

1. Widget/Apps  - sometimes your apps have alot of sync going on and your phone cannot sleep properly and it keep draining your battery. Especially the LG's like CarHome, weather, etc or could be your installed apps that cause it. I got myself titanium to help me to backup & freeze the apps so it no longer run  rclxms.gif

2. Network switching between 3G & 2G - as i've describe above, it you turn on 'use only 2G', that problem solves 2 issues together - battery drain & phone when 'dead' until restart

3. Battery need calibrate to reset the setting - hmm too long to write, pls refer to XDA forum  whistling.gif

Since you're on v10e, some others no longer applicable to you as it has been resolve with patches thumbup.gif

Share with us and see if we can help each other out here until there is PROPER solution from LG & Oh yeah, LG is in my BOTTOM list of company in decision on any future purchase

P/S: about the network switching, for those who plan to switch over to custom rom & not on baseband 725, please follow the instruction in flashing (there will be guide and remember to flash the 4 files starting for biggest size to smallers as the biggest one is basic and the smaller ones are the *update* that fixes the problem  thumbup.gif )

A stupid question, can anyone provide a link to me on "How to backup my original stock rom" ?
So that I can restore back after I install a custom rom.

Yup tried v20L & quite similar to topogigi's rom. Diferrence are they're slightly more mature than beta (topogigi's is beta based on v20j before going official)

Pros
It's more smooth and gps lock is 3-5 sec if you enable data. They focus on alot of phone performance & stability (don't have any reboot, bsod, line drop & clearer + signal is stronger compared to froyo)

Cons
Battery drain has been improved but not to my expectation (i don't demand crazy stuff but atleast give the lifespan like cm7, then its good) probably they tweak for performance and therefore cause the battery not to be efficient as cm7

@Ikjune,

Warning this is not recommended for the faint hearts
If you feeling adventures, you can try other kernals, i've tried HP and find it slightly improved the performance & battery too.
*
But v20L won't be worst than v20e stock rom right?
What's HP?
Did you try how long the phone battery can last for?

I took 13:09mins to update to GB and took less than 6mins to download 215MB updater...tongue.gif

But it's hang at the LG logo there after finish update and during the reboot...
Anyone face this problem?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem was solved by press the power button 2 times.
1st time looks like the phone will off already.
2nd time looks like just power on the phone and pending for keyin passcode.

Still waiting for running initial apps/os...taking timesss...

Added on November 18, 2011, 3:13 amWalao yeh....really fast...
New life to my phone...no need to throw the phone already...no need to sell anymore...

Even thought the free memory is just about 65MB but it's really fast then before...the phone never fast as current...


Added on November 18, 2011, 3:16 amWant to try whether the phone will randomly auto reboot after using original charger...

Hihi...It's worth to buy this phone at RM1100...but just stick at 2.3.4 stock rom...
ICS? don't pay much hope on it yet...for the moment...


Added on November 18, 2011, 3:19 amThe diffrence between Froyo and GB
1. Gallery browsing effect...

Anyone found that it seems new function so call SmartShare...?


Added on November 18, 2011, 5:43 amFirst time after full charge by original charger.
The time to empty is 40h and 33min means is 1day and 16.5 hours...
