So they are showing the instant On , on the new desire z in london which is basically is same as tmobile g2 here in states.
i was wondering is it something to do with SSD beign used or are they using some kind of hibernation technics in which phone is not entirely turn off instead goes into hibernation and then come back up.
and if its gona be possible to use in other android phones.
Realistically speaking, all phones use "SSD". SSD stands for Solid State Drive, and I doubt there's many phones out there that actually use a standard hard disk as storage.
All data is stored on flash chips, but technology in that area, whilst great at shrinking and increasing capacity, doesn't really improve super fast in terms of data transfer speeds.
I suspect they are doing some kind of clever hibernation as already suggested. Like it loads up a CPU state from memory that is stored when the system is shut down. I imagine first time out of the box will still be a good minute or so as usual, but successive reboots will be a lot quicker.
I imagine there will also be some sort of button combination you can press on boot to do a "fresh" boot rather than loading the hibernated version (for the usual reason that people reboot - to flush memory etc).
but the question is will the g2 get it? maybe instant on is just something built into sense. keeping my fingers crossed
Hopefully its available for the US version. Would be a neat lil way to conserve battery power. Devs will find a way to port it.

I expect the G2 will get it as well - Looks like more of a ROM/SPL feature than Sense. Incidentally, I saw another video yesterday which showed a much more usual boot time. In the region of 40 seconds or so.
My theory seems to stand up to this. It's possible that this was the first time that the particular handset had been booted.
I'm not sure where the battery savings would come in. Aside from the few seconds shaved off when booting I can't see much other saving. In fact, it may transpire that the "system image" that it stores is held in battery-backup storage, which may in fact drain battery more, not less.

The same way sleep mode saves electricity on desktops.
it would save battery in that you would be more likely to shut down completely when not using it if it booted up that fast. right now I rarely shut my phone down because if i need it in a pinch, I'd have to wait forever for it to boot.
edit: @dazultra2000, that's assuming it's a real shutdown rather than a hibernation as you suggest. you're right though, it's more likely to be more of a hibernation type thing. but still, if it used more battery than it saved, then what really would be the point? there would be no advantage over just turning the screen off
It would have to be a hibernate/sleep thing. It would be great. To me, it would not be useful if it doesn't notify you of a message or call right on the spot as if the phone was on. I keep mine on. It's the point of having a cell phone.
I presume it's just like a computer and only the service stays awake for these such things.
I hope so.
could be helpful though mostly i just stick my phone in airplane mode instead of turning it off.
well, in this video the guy clearly selects 'shut down.' I mean i'm still not convinced it's completely shutting down, but it sure looks like it

It could either be great programming by HTC
or native hibernation support from qualcomm on the new chipset.

+1 on that.
seems like gpu is doing such a wonderful job of helping CPU in that matter.
He said in the video the phone will boot the "normal" amount of time if you pull the battery.
The quick boot is if you power on/power off normally.

in that case its probably more of a standby where it loads the os into the ram. that would explain why it would boot slower after you pop the battery. however don't think most people swap batteries on a daily basis.

i did three times a day with my G1 because of it's awful battery life, hopefully this one will have better life, can't wait to get this thing in my hands and start screwing with it.

it MUST have decent battery life. hopefully at 18 hours given the proccesor is underclocked. though the second you stick cmod on it, batt life is probably going to drop significantly.

Sorry if this has already been answered but is the G2 even going to have fast boot or is that part of sense?

Just trying to get an idea of how much it's actually being used as a day to day os on devices designed for WM
no my battery doesnt last that long. mostly probably do to the power management problem. once that is fixed and everything runs pretty smooth, i plan on using it 100%
i try to use it as long as i can. so i live it charging all the time wen im home. other den tht i use 6.5

the same here...
i don't use android 70% of the time yet. that is because i don't have a data plan (thank greek carriers for that!! ). i try to find, download, and install apps from my notebook but i don't find many.
i'd say i "play" with android up to 20% atm. but when wifi gets up and running i might use android all day long.
thank all the devs who make this happen!! keep up the good work guys (... and ladies)!!
Nope, but only because we have no powermanagement and sound - for now... I'm hoping these two issues will be solved one day, but i have NO idea if it ever will be
yep. i can say that i use it 70% per day or even more.
switching to winmo only when the battery is low or when i need to charge it ;p
Other than that its XDAndroid as long as possibile
about 25%
i like to keep on window os because htc sense have more information at the screen with out going in to any apps than any os out there.

Same. My battery life is five hours or so. That's longer than the iPhone 3Gs so if other people can do it...I am sure we can too.
agree with U joshua on mine it is pretty much the same as on yours (5 to 5,5 hrs)
what ive discovered just a moment ago- i dont need to charge batt when im launching Haret to be able to charge the phone while using android (lol) i just plug the extUSB (pc or wall charger- doesnt matter), n after couple of secs it displays info on lock screen that the phone is charged..
so actually it is charging ( no iritating green or orange led )
is it only on my Rhodium?
At the moment only running new builds to see what's new.
Will dual boot when wifi, hw3d are finished, will make it permanent when sound and power management are done.
Android on the TP2 is the perfect combination that just wasnt available when the TP2 was launched and my contract was up for renewal - Hi-res screen + keyboard
How do you people do this? 5 hours is nothing. I won't even consider it until there is power management and sound.

No need for sound if I'm at work. And I get to play with it at work...plug it in just before lunch and all is well.
Not to mention, I can freely flash whatever WM ROM I want and not have to worry about MMS and text messages not working.
Android has been my first choice for messaging, emails, browsing and apps for over a week now. I only use the WM for conference calls and YouTube.
not yet... but once wifi power manaement and opengl are there i plan on using it 100% too...
i play with itg though from time to time and i must say before 2 months i never would have imagined it would be there this fast....
I agree. I really need for the sound, power management, wifi and bluetooth to be working 100% for me to use it more than I do on my Touch Pro 2.
Once Wifi, Sound and power management work, I would consider using it more than WM, but without these features I can't utilise my phone properly.
There's been great progress in a relatively short time, so perhaps this will be possible within a few months... though by that time I might have another phone
on alot of devices with xdandroid, things like gps and camera dont work. if everything worked and it had the prettyness of 1.6 with sense and all the features of 2.1 like navigation and live wallpapers, i might just switch. especially with the ui changes in 6.5.x. i have a feeling the next android phone htc releases will not be such a collaboration with google so it will have sense instead of "the google experience" and it will be wvga as all htc devices are from now on. so i think we will have sense then.
I probably run Andriod for about 20 mins every time there's a significant new build. Not much point in a phone that doesn't have any sound
As others have said as soon as power management is in, so am I. I move around too much during the day to leave it plugged in so as soon as I can get ~12 hours on a charge I'm sold.

Hi,
I just got my HTC One X and I love it. The only downside to it so far is after leaving it on charge overnight im lucky if I get 5-6hrs out of it.
Im on the default OS and ive only installed some apps but im pretty much in the dark where to start.
Can anyone recommend the best rom to use or even just good apps or ways to make my battery life extend?
Thanks and again sorry if this is a noob question.
Have you updated your device with all the official updates? Have you disabled fast-boot, auto-brightness, satellite-GPS and all other wireless options that you don't need and opted for a 30-40% luminance rating (screen remains legible) in Settings? The operating time you get, as stated of 5-6 hrs seems pretty low. I get at least double that with intensive usage, and I mean it, THD Games! Keep in mind however that the screen of HTC ONE X, REALLY, IS the most power-demanding component of our smartphone and there isn't much that can be done about it.
As to your question, Villain rom is considered by many to be battery-friendly although pretty basic. In addition and if you have a rooted/unlocked device (I still haven't rooted mine because I'm perfectly satisfied with it for now), you can also give a try to the SetCore app that can be found i the Apps section of the HOX forum and as its name implied it allows you to control and deactivate cores at will. Also try out the well-known SetCPU app to underclock the processor and get more life from it.
Although, if you've purchased your phone recently, you may simply have to charge some more to condition the battery and then it will get to normal levels, of ~12-15hrs of serious usage.
first of all you do not need a rom that is based on battery life..all roms are the same with just few different modifications to it. choose a rom that YOU like and not based on what other people tell you. Then you can do a few things to get better battery life. as the poster above me stated you can do what he mentioned..but i still with autosync on, GPS on and autobrightness i can manage to get over 3hrs screen on time and over a day and a half battery life. Go into settings and sound and untick touch keypad sounds and lockscreen sound and dialpad sounds...come out and reboot the phone..you might think why but trust me that causes drainage to the battery and keeps the phone wake when the screen is off. second if you use twitter and facebook i would suggest to use them only when you log in..do not have it on in the background. if you still need more help PM if you like
but search for Touch Xtreme rom by Smarberg...that is a good rom based on battery more than anything else.

Im sure all the official updates are done. I use wifi in house and 3g when outdoors. Ive got bluetooth and gps disabled and as of now my screen is off automatic. Ill keep charging like you say to condition the battery but can you overcharge it?
I'm on stock and my battery seems to be OK.
The multitasking on another hand is shockingly bad.
Please someone give me aokp or cm9

I fixed multitasking with an init.d script that lowers the low memory killer values. All the apps stay in memory now without closing... like they are supposed to.
Some say HTC set the values so high to save battery, but that is crap. No power is used when the app is held in memory, infact less is used as the apps aren't constantly being opened closed and reloaded. I think they just messed up.

Hi Guys,
I am really new to this forum and I deeply apologise if this thread or subject matter has been opened numerous times.
However, I am just somewhat really puzzled as to how amazing the spec this phone is. I just loving it apart from two things. The battery could be better but hey with all that juice and cpu it needs to run that beast of a screen its understandable. However, the ultimate thing that bugs me is how it gets incredibly laggy at times when hoping from an app back into the home screen.. Especially in games or Facebook.. Has anyone experienced this issue?
I have rooted my LG g3 too and I have also turned the developer options on in which I have decreased the transition times from the default settings to off or 0.5 for few of the minimise options..
I just hoping anyone can help or have ideas?
Thanks so much
By no means am I trying to be rude, but if you search around a bit, you will see that this is apparently an issue just about everyone has.

There are 2 theories. 1 is that the software isn't optimized and is causing lag. 2. It takes more resources to draw the QHD display, therefore the phones CPU and GPU is having to work harder than an HD display and this is causing lag.

That's the stupidest thing I've heard. I own a Nexus 10, a two year old tablet with the same resolution as our G3. It has a dual core processor, running 1,7Ghz. And guess what, it is smooth as hell. Even smoother than my G3, like a lot. And I don't like it... But once the bootloader gets unlocked we could probably see the G3 running flawlessly with Android L.

First I'd like to apologize for all the rude people around here. Sorry buddy.
Second there are many things you can do to make your phone faster and lag free.
I copied this from the post here to make it easier for you.
Open the dial pad, then type the following number, choose one code that matches with your device model:
- 3845#*855# (Intl)
- 3845#*851# (TMo)
- 3845#*850# (AT&T)
- 5689#*980# (Sprint)A hidden menu will be showing up, scroll down till you find “High Temperature Property”.Tap it, then*turn it ON.
Now find thermal daemon mitigation and turn it on either. switch off your phone, and wait for about 15 seconds.Next,*turn it on*again, when you see screen lock, wait at least 35 seconds.Enjoy your lag-free LG G3.
Third, I advice you to change the launcher. I suggest nova since it's full of customization and really light.

Install it play around with for a while. It's easy to customize it the way you like.

Thanks ever so much for your amazing support and suggestions.
I have managed to do the sugggested list that you mentioned. I just realised a new issue with my phone that I really am surprised about now. I charge my phone at 100% and within 2 hours I have lost a good 30% of my battery within a space of 2 hours.. By having the phone on just locked.. All recent apps closed. Its a strange issue. I dont know why all of a sudden.. I can see in the battery menu that andriod os and android system are taken up about 47% and the display taking 35%...
Im sorry to branch from one issue to another but I dont really know what to do. And I am really worried in doing factory reset and losing my data. I am having to charge my phone in space of 2 times in a day.. doesnt make sense.

Can you post a screen shot of your battery stats so we can see what's using the most battery? It could be a rogue process killing the battery.
There is probably some app eating your battery. Try to post a screenshot of you battery stats. To do so press power button and volume down at the same time and hold them for a second.
Any way, Apart from the battery issue, how's the smoothness?
As you can see in mine I'm off the battery for 3 hours. Haven't used the phone e so far since I'm home playing battlefield 4. Still at 100 %.
At first the battery drains a lot faster when in a new rom, the it settles.
But in your case it is draining way to fast.
Restart your phone, give it a full charge and let it rest for an hour. Let us know how it goes.
Thanks guys for your response, I am really shocked as to why my battery is just eating up soooo fast like that... You can see from the graph in the screenshot that it just plummets down sooo fast within hours..My screen brightness is set at 50% without no auto brightness and I don't really have much apps running.. Im really bemused as to whats going on?
I removed the battery for a while and I also restarted my phone.. This is a MASSIVE improvement because the Android OS and Android System was both taken up a good 40% and screen 30%.. but even with the stats shown I'm still reducing significant amount of battery..

I removed the battery for a while and I also restarted my phone.. This is a MASSIVE improvement because the Android OS and Android System was both taken up a good 40% and screen 30%.. but even with the stats shown I'm still reducing significant amount of battery..

It seems to me that your battery is settling down. Guy it a 3 or 4 full cicles and let me know it has stabilized.

I'm Using it for a while know. Mine is doing really good.
the kernel is bugged and also since its on 5.0 lollipop
What strikes me odd is that something else didn't drag it down. Then I see the stats are about apps only, which don't take into account cell standby or screen on time.
The key thing to look at is that your phone has been running for 5.5 hours there from full charge, and it only went down 7%. That means if you keep it up, you could run it for over 3 days without needing to recharge. Nothing wrong with that (in the new world order). That's what my old phone could do (sometimes 4 days), and it had a better mAh to screen size ratio than his device (2460mAh : 4" vs 3000mAh : 5.5"). I have yet to get those kinds of battery stats with this one (down to 70% by the day is done vs 80% with the other one).
Yeah. It's unthinkable that a company like Asus can't solve this problem fast enough. Maybe they didn't get the permission to put 5.1 on their phones yet

They definitely have "permission", Asus has been historically reliable with updates, but we'll see I guess.

Yeah, let's see. Meanwhile we spend our battery cycles like ****
I blame Google. They should never have released the buggy mess that is 5.0. Sometimes companies have no choice what to out on the phones....I'm sure Asus had this phone in the development pipeline with 5.0 as the target well before all the bugs of 5.0 were revealed. And the way Android relies on nearly full reimage for major updates is idiotic, and also Google's fault. 5.1.1 is essentially a different OS than 5.0

the funny thing is my standby time is completely fine its when im using the phone that it drains fast I have amplify,greenify,powernap running and it still drains also did all thats possible to save as much battery as possible.
I also installed the Debloated Rom by Harfainx I know for sure that its lollipop 5.0 thats cause this problem cause every time I check the battery stats in settings Android OS is at 40-60%...... thats just ridiculous
The sooner we get 5.1.1 the better! Are you listening Asus?
They are shameless at the moment
I have a P3XL that's roughly 1 year old. It's seriously slow and laggy and stutters like none other. If i'm in Chrome and browsing reddit, it can crash from having a long page of images open. Using simultaneous apps like Spotify and Instagram kills the phone. I was using flashlight and making a call at the same time and it crashed.
I originally used stock, that was the same. Switched to Havoc OS and it's pretty much the same. I can only guess this is from poor RAM management. Battery life is crap now too. Doesn't last me till 6:00PM on a low usage day.
Any ROM suggestions? Or is there something here i'm missing? 4GB should be enough... the P2XL was absolutely fine but this is atrocious. I frequently want to toss this device across the room.
You may have a bad battery which is causing voltage/amperage problems and glitching. If you've already done a fresh clean install of the factory OS and still have issues that'd be my next guess.
Did you regularly run it below 20% or until dead?
Yeah I gotta say that sounds a battery issue or something else going on. I've been running stock Android 9 rooted with Kira kernel for about half a year now and although there is still a lot of reloading (especially when using chrome or internet browsers with lot of tabs open) it's still snappy and reloads quick. I've never had anything crash.
Unfortunately I have no clue how to test a battery for proper amperage. I know 2 ways to get an estimate on capacity with accubattery and extracting it from a bug report but I don't know if that will help with identify it or not.
It sounds almost identical to the same issue I had with my LG V20 which was a bad battery that would randomly shut down with around 15-25% capacity left when it got that low and when I changed the battery it fixed it

I guess it could be a bad battery causing voltage issues. I have done a fresh clean install of factory OS, and still have issues. I would say i'm average when it comes to running it below 20%. I don't do that often, but sometimes it does. I rarely let it die completely.
Best scenario would be to go through Google Support?

Yeah, mine is crashing hard. Hard enough that it's one of the poorest performance phones i've ever had. And that's saying a lot lol.
I'll try to use accubattery today to see what I get. It doesn't shut down at 15% thankfully.

My V20 wouldn't always die at those ranges but it happened pretty frequently. Do you notice a difference with it plugged in?
I would definitely start from scratch if you really want to troubleshoot this. Backup everything then flash a stock system image from Google with the wipe all command and start from there and see. If it still does it then it is most likely a hardware issue.
Sounds more like a cache problem to me.....dodgy nand chip. Needs to be replaced no matter whats causing it. If you cant get rid of it after trying everything including swapping the active boot slot from a to be or vise versa
