Bro, if you cant wait, try Paul's CWM version of 20l, not bad i would say

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

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..... 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

4. Drain battery..
Hmm, i strongly agreed 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

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

Since you're on v10e, some others no longer applicable to you as it has been resolve with patches

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 )

From the look of the items above, i think you're always on 3G network right? because i had the similar as above when i was on stock v10a -> v10d. When i got v10e, it lasted 1 day ++ (sometimes almost 2 days)

LG Official Stock rom US release
From the look of it, if you want to try the stock rom, try Paul's GB v20l, this rom is actually official rom release in US and Paul convert it into clockworkmod recovery file & root it. So i would say this is the actual v20l from LG but based on US release. Link is http://android.modaco.com/topic/348081-1-n...d-rooteddeodex/. There is 2 version, just take the rooted only, as for the other version, its meant for those people who want to customize the rom further

Instruction is available on that thread & its quite clear on how to do it

Topogigi's Custom ROM
Or you can try topogigi's rom's (this one is based on beta release v20j but went thru varies testing feedback from users in XDA and seem that this rom if you tweak properly have good battery lifespan. Link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254359

What do you need to download?
Download the version v2.0, v2.0sp1, v2.0sp2, v2.0sp3. Why? its because the v2.0 is the base and the others are service pack (patches based on feedback from users and fixes for the problems they face)

and for improvement on performance + battery, please flash HP's kernal. Link is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295486.

Instruction is on that thread as well

Recommendation for those who want stock, try Paul's version

Added on November 5, 2011, 9:05 pmDownload Clockworkmod, there is option to do nandroid backup

As for apps
You can download titanium from market, free version allows you to have 1 version of backup and the paid version allows more copies + freeze program (this means you freeze the program, unlike the uninstall the program, you can defreeze to enable it to run again )

Added on November 5, 2011, 9:11 pmHehehe, for me is when i turn on papago, it drains the battery like crazy, must always keep the plug on or suddenly the phone beep, 'Please connect & charge' but the papago locking like 3-5 sec & really responsive

This post has been edited by wulfredz: Nov 5 2011, 09:11 PM

Relax bro, atleast not like last time, say June, then july then on & on. Now they're forced to release in this month but from what i tried, i can say its responsive but the drain......i think if you use for plain call without much surfing on 3G network is quite good (2 days with call + minor surfing) but once you play game/anything that use/pushes the screen / gps / 3G streaming, 1 day+ also.

One thing for sure, its better in response but the drain not so satisfaction yet. I think they just launch it 1st to keep the customer from doing civil lawsuit like US on G2X (counterpart for LG 2X worldwide) and to calm the customers down.

Added on November 7, 2011, 1:29 amThe ebay link offers is cheaper compare to price selling @ LG spare part center (here is selling RM70++) Well, if you are really desperate for spare battery, you can try this, its cheap http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/260851602792?ss...984.m1439.l2649

Got this and its cheaper then original (received the shipping in 2 weeks time) so far used for few months and still ok

or if you really dont mind paying, google mugen power ext battery. This one really works

---

Added on November 7, 2011, 1:50 amHmm, the last time i had reboot problem, LG replace the parts for my phone and ever since that, never have another reboot at all (well after i change i never use the original charger to charge) so i'm not sure your's is hardware or software problem. Well mine so far 2 days ++ still calibrating the battery

This post has been edited by wulfredz: Nov 7 2011, 01:50 AM

Yup as the sp are patches which fixes the problems feedback from users

If i'm not wrong. Try this apps called set dns + marketaccess. Set your dns to open dns or google & for market access - set to fake t-mobile. See if this help

Yup right now is using 1800mAH, tried calibrate using original get around 1 day ++ with 3G, now trying with 1800mAH (that is why im calibrating again )

Added on November 7, 2011, 12:40 pmTopogigi's rom is based on gingerbreak v20j (2.3.4), how you check is click 'settings ->about phone -> Android version (here you should see 2.3.4)

This post has been edited by wulfredz: Nov 7 2011, 12:40 PM

Please go flash back-to-ext3 then only flash topogigi's rom again, bootloop happens when you try to flash straight into roms without back-to-ext3 (get from http://android.modaco.com/topic/336318-4-a...-back-to-ext3/)

Don't worry, havent see any non recoverable flashing for this phone (unless you flash other phone's rom, then you pray very HARD and try nvflash)

No worry, here are the steps for flashing topogigi's rom

1. Put all the files you want to flash into sd
a) r1-backtoext3-2x-unsigned.zip
b) topogigi's rom v2.0, 2.0sp1, 2.0sp3, 2.0sp3
2. Boot info flashing menu aka Recovery mode (incase you forgot, power down your phone and hold power + vol down & voila your in)
3. Flash back-to-ext3

Extra steps to ensure you wipe all stuff to avoid leaving things which cause problem later
4. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalviks cache (this one you select advance, then only you can see)

5. Flash topogigi's v2.0, then follow by topogigi's v2.0 sp1, then follow by topogigi's v2.0 sp2, then follow by topogigi's v2.0 sp3

Please note: Remove your sim card if you want to sign in via wifi on 1st setup, it will detect no sim card and allow you to connect to wifi before login into google account (don't click home until you finish all steps to avoid common problem - Force close / home button not working)

6. Reboot and wait, 1st time boot will take time, relax and wait until you get into phone selection,

7. Please don't click home to skip setup, follow all the steps from setup wifi connection & sign into your google account, believe me, alot ppl skip this step and common issue face is home button not working or force close happens, or keyboard have issue which other language or some face BSOD (black screen of death)

8. When you finished with all the setup, go to market to download es explorer & titanium backup for browsing your sdcard & restore apps

P/S: titanium pro give you more than 1 backup copy + freeze function to 'FREEZE' apps, this is good because now with this you can freeze bloatware from LG such as items below which DRAINS your battery

1. Stock antivirus (get another one from market)
2. CarHome (number 1 draining apps even your phone screen is off)
3. Weather widget

Others is up to individual, those who dont do much social networking can opt to freeze this too. Good thing about the titanium pro is, you are not deleting / uninstall your apps, just freezing them, you can unfreeze when you need them

Have fun

I wonder if LG's other model is as bad as 2x (remember 2x is their high end & the rest is mid to entry level)

YEAH Darn, sure sux if LG support other but slow / non support for 2X

This post has been edited by wulfredz: Nov 7 2011, 06:39 PM

Antivirus free is ok, not too bad on drain but dont expect much features. Lookout is quite good but i stop using it to narrow down any other apps that is draining (this one is good but drain more than the other one and need data too for the features )

You can go and google for titanium pro,its available out there, but if possible pls buy it to show support for the developers for their contribution.

Not bad, quite close to my record too with stock battery, now testing 1800mAH

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.

My highest record for 1500mAH based on topogigi's rom + kernal 3days, normally around 2days ++. If try other battery such as mugen ext battery (4500mAH) can last a week easily for light usage, but its bulky like old generation of handphone

v20e/v20j are beta roms and there are kernal & mods for these roms which design by users in attempt to tweak the roms to either for more performance/stable/ or battery friendly

HP is mod for the beta roms (link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295486)

Quote from the link for other users to refer incase you want to know what is it about/do

This kernel is based on LG V10e sources. This kernel is competible and should only be flashed with STOCK MCR FROYO and GINGERBREAD. NOT COMPETIBLE WITH CM AND MIUI

sent the phone to lg center & tell them your problem. Some of us faced the same problem & it can be resolve with part replacement (phone can charge but usb can't detect right )

Bro.
Have you tried partial nvflash? Here is the link to do it http://android.modaco.com/topic/345370-dat...aster-recovery/

all the best

P/S : This user had same thing happened and he found that he can partial nvflash the boot.img to bring the boot back

Stock rom as in LG gingerbread v2.3 v20L . Topogigi's rom is v20J (beta before official release)
Currently using v20L stock rom. So far quite ok, trying around other roms (topogigi's quite good but no harm trying others for comparison)

Well locking for gps with data enable is 3- 5 sec. Try download fasterfix & gpsfix. This helps

Added on November 12, 2011, 8:14 pmI'm able to download the rom from xda (both the kdz & cwm) maybe you forget to convert ext4 back3. Mine works after convert back to ext3

Added on November 12, 2011, 8:18 pmTry to get it from modaco or xda. I got mine from there.i remember that there is a thread which have multiple copies cant remember the link
