Since updating my HD7 to 7392 the battery is dead at 8pm despite me hardly using the phone at all.
Previously, even with lots of use I never got to the critical warning before plugging it in at 11pm.
Sick of this WP7 **** now. Phone still 16 bit colour as well.
Phone is o2 UK but debranded using petbede's method, then official NoDo and official 7392 installed over the top.
Didn't regret not getting the iPhone 4 for a few months but I'm starting to now.
So no-one else affected?
Well, I'm now restoring back to 7390. If this doesn't fix it I'm gonna get rid of this damn phone and god knows what I'll end up with.
Has anyone noticed trade in values for the HD7 have gone to ****? I'll be lucky to end up back where I started on an iPhone 3G.
Have you bothered to recondition your battery? As in charge it full, drain it all the way, then recharge.
If so, contact HTC for a replacement battery. The 7392 was only security patches, nothing is related to battery life.
But if you are too lazy to do that, go ahead. Have fun with your new/old IPhone 3G.
Ive noticed my battery dies alot quicker now to but I totally forgot that I updated my phone until now.lol

Thanks but it's literally gone since I did the update. Previously it would last me the whole day.
I'll try a few sets of charging and draining, but it will be interesting to see what happens now that I've rolled it back to 7390.
I understood it to be the same as you, 7392 is just a security update. But something about the process of installing updates seems to cause battery issues.
I really don't want to go back to an iPhone as when I use my wife's 3GS it seems very dated compared to WP7. But I'm sick of the hassle of WP7 at the moment!

no such issues..... how do u test the screen for 16 bit... my screen looks crisp and hd still...
I noticed this last night.
I charged it fully before going to work at 8pm then time it came to 12:30 i had used over 3/4 of the battery just by web surfing and sending 8 sms.
Mine is a o2 HD7 but running the euro htc rom, i always let it run out and recharge to full.
Im thinking more and more of binning WP7 just a shame my device has afew knocks to it otherwise it would be trade in. Looks like its heading to the back of the draw.

Exactly the same as me, I'm running the unbranded euro HTC rom too.
Did your battery problems start after installing 7392?
One of the reasons I bought into WP7 was the hope of getting the updates and things improving. Never considered the possibility that updates could make things worse.
Ive only been running the update for a week and the battery wasnt that gr8 before hand but last night opened my eyes to how bad since this patch.
I would do a hard reset and see if that helps but as MS left out a way to back-up SMS im a little stuck.
How ever im feeling that wp7 is all its cracked up to be, looking at whats coming in mango is good but i feel the battery may suffer.
Since downgrading back to 7390 my battery life has returned to normal!
Hammered the phone with a good hour or calls today and even now the battery is not dead, it will last till going on charge at bed time.
What the hell is going on with 7392 then!?!
Did you hard reset?

No just downgraded via standard Zune option.
Just saw this update for my phone out and then saw this thread. Are others having the issue with the battery? I will gladly hold off on this update if it really does drain it that much.
Any other confirmations?
I can't imagine the Security update causes this, perhaps a new Radio is downloaded with the update?
I'm on Unbranded Euro ROM and the same OS version 7.0.7392.0 with Radio Software 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U, can someone post their Radio from OS Version 7390?
P.S. I haven't actually noticed any Battery drain since the update. I cahrge every night from about 11pm - 7am and my phone will last untill I put it on charge again at the same times.

I updated mine yesterday and haven't noticed any difference in battery life.
I just uptaded, I will post results tomorrow
battery
First day experience of mine,Battery is dead after 7392 update 15 minute talk 20 sms in 7 hours!I am going to downgrade tonight back previus Rom!
Yeah, I feel this thing too,
The battery are more faster draining than old in my HD7 (O2DE Rom).
Just play few game for a hour and my battery is lower than 20%.
I'm in the same boat...
After the update, not only is my battery draining faster, but my reception actually seems worse (subjective).
I hope we can find out why and get a fix for this sharpish as it's driving me nuts having to carry my charger around with me (quite a heavy user)...
So does anybody who's rolled/rolling back fancy posting their Radio versions to compare?
OK I bought the battery !!! Ive seen the bad feedback (some good ) now its here. Im going to test this out and let you guys know if any good !! Hope i didnt waste my moneys !!!!!
First point ive noticed ....... It charges quicker but that isn't allways a good sign :S <----- my moneys
Oh! Yes please give us your feedback
Sent from my GT540 using Tapatalk
No problem lol --- will take a good few days for a full report but today im trying to run it flat as fast as I can then i will just copy like for like with the lg standard battery looking for a big margin mind.
One thing I can report and my case may be contributing to it or the fact ive never run so many apps at once is its burning my pocket !! Im running a live stream from some scanner app whilst downloading a torrent im never going to end up getting whilst having wifi gps bluetooth full brightness all the tweaks that kill battery time and it was charged up on full power 7.28 hrs ago and im on 30% give or take. when its fully dead i will turn off phone and do a recharge and give a time then do the like for like. :s <----- my moneys lol
And, what is your oppinion after 5 days?
I think the Battery Exploded or was fakelabeled.
Sorry for taking a while on this had some medical issues. Never the less ive being using the battery and i can report its a wrongen. I keep running low well lower than the originall battery as for performance no change. I think the battery is in fact lower than the standard battery and i lost out. I now use it as a back up but know i would have been better off withy the 1800 or the portable charger or the 2 standad batterys with a wall charger. The guy has had bad feedback for far to long and I will contact ebay.
Dont be a mug like me and buy
Did you get refund?
Shiittttt... Does damn fake products...
Well better no spend money on that , if the battery doesn't explode, your phone could...

im gonna take my thrill back today and get a new one! I am having trouble with the battery as many people are but I dont know if it is worse than others. I unhooked it a few minutes ago and it went from 99 percent down to 90 in about 3-4 minutes and down to 80 in another 10 minutes and im not even sure what is running in the background because I thought I had an app killer installed. anyway the other problem is that I cannot get an internet connection at all unless I am on wifi. I have unlimited data and should be able to use programs like facebook even at the university but I cannot. Does anyone think I am doing the right thing by returning the phone? sorry about the long rant
Sounds like you have a bad battery. When I first got my Nexus S I had the same problem replaced that battery through att and it has been fine ever since. Also I have noticed that some task killers cant remember witch ones in specific hurt battery life. I would take it back for a new one may as well replace the whole device if you can.

The data thing definitely sounds like a bug. The battery on the other hand is normal on some new Thrills. After a week or so it should settle in and battery life gets better over time.

Yeah, if you first got the phone it takes a few cycles before battery starts to improve. But it seems pretty bad, i would return it since you have the oppurtunity.

Thank you for the replies, I have had this phone for about 3 weeks and I keep it plugged in at night through usb but I also have to connect it for a few hours in the daytime as well. I havent had a chance to return it but I may do so today although the wifi issue seems to be working now. maybe the At&t Network was down?

A note on the battery issue? What's the signal strength like where you live? The data signal in my house is so bad that if I forget to turn wifi on after getting home from work my battery will drain close to 40% over night. My wife's Captivate does the same thing. If the signal is weak the phone will constantly poll for a stronger signal.
All that aside I would definitely still take advantage and seek a replacement while its free. If you still have issues atleadt you'll know its something correctable and not the phone.

I just got an LG Optimus 2x from Wind and after *thwip*-ing the screen left and right for several hours, it came to my attention that smartphones can do a lot more than simply sliding the screen horizontally. They can do it vertically too. So after several more hours of that and 11 minutes of porn later, I decided I wanted to root this thing. Burying it in soil and sprinkling water on it didn't work for some reason so I questioned the almighty Google - it led me here.
My phone has Froyo 2.2 (I think?) and I want to gain root permissions and upgrade to CM7. At least that's what I was told on Youtube, dude named analcobra said I want CM7 and who am I to question a guy named analcobra?
Any help is appreciated, I'll post a pic of my tits in return.
well first off welcome to xda, secondly all the info you need is right here just use the search fucntion, people dont like it when you dont use it lol,
i wish i could help you root your phone etc, but i have only just got the o2x myself , did have previous phones but each phone has a different way of getting root etc,
Just download superoneclick, follow instructions, root, download rom manager off android market to flash a recovery image, download cm7 to the root of your sdcard, reboot into recovery and flash cm7 the end, tits please?

Dude, you're funny.
Congrats to both of you for your new toys and welcome to XDA.
My personal recommendation, is to read around, stay at stock for a week. Root it maybe, stay for another week or 2, before choosing the ROM that you want to try first.
Staying on stock with all LG crapware and stuff will allow you to:
1) Know if there are any hardware issues your phone might have which should prompt you to return it to the store.
2) Allow you to appreciate rooting and custom ROMs better.
I also recommend lurking on the Android development threads and back reading maybe 5 pages of the more active threads. That way, you'll know what the pros and cons of each ROM is. And you'll know what you'll get yourself into after flashing. (So you don't cry out that you don't have FM radio when you just flashed an ICS ROM.)
My immediate recommendations for 1st time CyanogenMod flashers would be Temasek's CM7 of course. As it is a very active thread, and support is definitely abundant.
Anyway, adjust your LCD brightness, and prepare to read stuff.
Above all, have fun.

All the folks are right above, proceed accordingly.
However, keep in mind that your device is not an O2X(P990) but a G2X(P999), so to prevent yourself from some hassle(bricking your phone,etc.), check the T-Mobile G2X thread.

Thanks, probably would have missed that.
Also, what's with the battery on this thing? I switched my phone off last night (at 62%) and when I turned it on this morning, it was at 25%. Is it supposed to lose that much power even while it's turned off, or do I just have a faulty device?[/color]
Damn, that's bad. Is it a new phone? I only lose 3-4 percent a night when it's not even turned off (just the screen). But I can imagine it's the fault of the original LG ****ware, I had to install it a week ago because I bricked my phone, and after 2 minutes of the CLEAN install it was already lagging heavily.

How new is your phone? You might just need to drain the batt, then charge it to full.
If it still happens, something's wrong with your phone. Take it back to the shop.
Stock froyo roms only use 1% of battery on idle. (2g network use only. No wifi or gps.)

The phone's brand new, I got it like two days ago. The battery was already really low when I got it so I let it die and then charged it back up to like 90% before unplugging it. I'll drain it, charge it again, and then see how things go before returning it I guess. It lost 1% (with the screen turned) off in the last 12 minutes. D:
I don't have a data plan on this (aside from the free 100mb that comes with Wind25) so I had Wind disable the data on it. I also turned off the wifi before turning the phone off last night because I thought it'd save power. Would that have anything to do with it or is my inner noob showing?

Yes. Turning off wifi if you're not going to use it would help.
Having an enabled wifi either:
1) Keeps searching for networks that it can connect to
2) Once connected, will background sync/update certain apps. (i.e. Google Play)
I just noticed that if I do things that are supposed to conserve battery power, they use up more. Switching to 2g only, turning off wifi, etc. I lost 5% in one hour doing that, but when I turned everything back on, I only lost 1% in one hour.
In any case, the battery seems to be doing a little better than yesterday, maybe I just have to drain/charge it a few more times to sort it out? Has anyone else ever had similar problems before?
Gavin, I'm a new smart phone user too and have the same phone from windmobile and the first thing I noticed about the phone was how quickly the battery can drain. I thought it was defective or something but no, that's how it is. Mine would be dead from a full charge in less than 14 hours and that's without any usage, which is shocking and made me consider cancelling my plan. I do have data running however. Anyway, there are a bunch of apps available that can preserve the battery life. I've tried 3 or 4 and the last one (just found it 2 days ago from the Play Store) is the best by far. It's called "battery defender". I fully charged my phone yesterday and after a whole day (24 hrs) I checked the battery status and it showed 90% left (the app adds a battery icon that shows % left). Pretty damn good for a phone that used to be dead in less than 14 hours. I'm extremely happy. You can also try "juice defender" (the first app I tried) but that will probably give you 2 1/2 days on a full charge, which isn't bad.
BTW, draining and charging the batt won't do much if anything at all and in fact it ISN'T recommended that you let it drain below 20%.
Check out those apps and download one. They're free and they DO work. Also, get yourself a car batt charger too and maybe an extra battery.

No need to repeat cycling the battery. You can maybe do it once every 2 months and that's plenty for Lithium Ions.
Electroman is right. Optimum charging cycles go rom discharging only to 20%, then charging back up to 80%. And repeat.
About your battery being worse when you actually disabled your network stuff. I'm thinking you have apps or widgets that are configured to update every so often. And with the network out, they keep on refreshing themselves.
I personally didn't see huge gains from Juice Defender, but those batt saving apps are definitely worth a try.
Wonder if wind is putting any dodgy apps on the phone that use battery up?

Cuz the voltage gets high and reduces the life of the battery. Sort of an increase in MAH at the risk of overcharging and slowly killing the battery. 20-80% is ideal but **** that!

Hello everyone,
I've enjoyed this watch even if the battery life sucks since the beginning!! especially coming from the Samsung Gear S3, which has never ever lasted less than a day (24 hours).
Since the last Android Wear 2.0 update, the battery life is even worse, although I doubt it's actually linked, probably just a coincidence, but my watch hasn't make it through the afternoon for few weeks now. Barely 6 hours (with EVERYTHING disable, even bluetooth, in Airplane mode).
As of today, the watch will turn on and turn off few seconds later regardless the battery %.
Lg answered nicely that they would take a look at it, and ask $20 for the diagnostic if I don't want them to process the fix!!! And I read online that the battery replacement is $60. I would rather throw it away...
Anyway, I have 2 questions :
Does someone knows where to source this damn battery (BL-S7)?? Out of stock on ebay
Did someone try to fit a Watch Urbane battery (BL-S6) which is 570mAh instead of 430mAh? Or anyone knows this battery size? (I know the connector is different but at this point it's not the biggest issue )
That could help many people meeting issues with this watch... (I'm done with LG!!)
Thanks!!
Ok, I found the answer to my second question, and obviously bigger capacity = battery battery
the BL-S6 (Urban 2nd G) is about 31x27
the BL-S7 (Sport Watch) is about 28x27
So I'm still interested to know where to buy the BL-S7.
Thanks,
Assuming I can find a BL-S7 battery, how easy is it to strip the watch down to change?
My watch is so random with shutdowns and % battery left remaining I am thinking it is all down to the battery after over 18 months daily usage/charging.
Also interested in this.

Disassembly is fairly easy if you take your time and disconnect the connection points. Nothing is really glued in place aside from the bottom cover and the battery to the rest of the chassis. I was able to get to the battery within 20 minutes.
I was also able to find a battery on ebay. We'll see how assembly goes when it's delivered.
That is great, do you have the link to the battery on ebay?
Did you also have the same issues with random shutdowns, not being able to restart unless on the charger etc?
Keep us posted!
Thanks.
I confirm that disassembling the watch is pretty easy and quick, the only thing is you can say goodbye to the waterproof!
@sirdizzle415, does it come with the sealing? Please keep us updated if it does fix the reboot issue and if can even share the link :angel:
I only found 1 used....

I wouldn't trust it to be waterproof anymore, but I'm mostly ok with that. If this watch survives a little while longer with a used $25 battery, I'd call that a win over buying another $300+ watch.
I should be getting the new battery tomorrow, should be pretty quick to put it back together. We'll see what happens.
FYI, My new battery is still in route, so haven't had a chance to test it. It is available brand new on ebay though... If anyone wants to give it a try, the link is here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Wa...1e1230fc8:m:mALL_k1FrV1tgtB_vyDJXTg:rk:1:pf:0
Make sure to select the LG-S7 battery for the Watch Sport.
Successful install of the battery! Watch no longer shuts off, and doesn't need to be on the charger to turn on.
I did try to carefully take my old battery apart. Multiple sources mentioned that it can be repaired by soldering a zero ohm link/resistor between two points. I could not identify them on the BL-S7 battery, so I probably won't be doing that.
All in all, it was a $25 dollar battery for me, so not a bad price to pay to extend the life.
I just ordered the one from ebay! That's great it's back in stock!! @sirdizzle415 Yours was a used one?? how did you glue back the back cover?
I know the watch won't be waterproof anymore, but I'm ok with that too.

My existing seal was mostly intact. The back cover also has tabs that snap it back in place.
Placed my order for a new battery.
There is simply nothing else to replace the Sport with LTE currently...unless you like apples.
I just received the new battery!
Results are not so great so far, the watch does stay alive and do not reboot/ shut down randomly anymore.
But after an hour using it to update app, hard reset it, I lost 40%... I didn't charge the battery yet, so I don't want to be pessimistic (yet) but I think my main issue wasn't the battery.
The watch seems too warm to me, probably something wrong with the hardware, other than the battery.
Plus, damn the watch is so slow with the new version of Android wear, so laggy!!
But true there is no better android watch anyway, which is a shame...
It seems that replacing the battery actually fixed the issue! I'm getting now a day and half of battery with only the bluetooth and NFC activated...
The watch is still slow from time to time, I have to tap the screen several time before it actually wakes up.
But for 20 bucks I guess it was the right move.

I think right around this day, I received a Wear OS update that really hurt the battery life... it's been better since, but I definitely remember a day recently when I got an update and battery life was terrible for me.
Just replaced my battery.
Straight forward job, managed to keep the seal in place too.
Watch started up with what little charge was in the new battery, 16%, which is promising, it wouldn't before, and also all the apps /configuration haven't been lost either.
The only disappointment is that the new battery is not actually new.
Okay it may not be used, but it was dated late 2016, actually slightly older than the battery it replaced, early 2017.
See how I get on with it now....
A new battery is a must!
I'm getting a constant 7am until 11pm, 16 hours off cradle, with 50% still remaining, and that is with LTE on all day, including everything else too!
The combination of new battery, and latest firmware updates has just transformed the usage and battery life.
It is a must upgrade!
Hello, I'm from EU, is there any possibility to get new battery now? I looked on eBay and it looks like all are sold out.. :/
