Very very thankyou ppls for your hard work... i really appreciate the hard work of the devs.. but can some1 tell me that when the battery metter is fixing.....i only bought this to use android on it but due to unstable battery indcator i m not able to properly get the fun of android on this device.....seriously i have no intrest to use winmo..i liked the keyboard and read that its android compatiable so i bought it .... i know some ppls will say that go buy something else ..... all i need is battery fix and i think many of the ppls here will agree with me....well i for me i m w8ing more 15 days to see if the proper battery fix appears then i will continue it else i will go for Motorola Milestone...i m not saying that these ppls are not working .. all i m saying that all we need is a battery fix with Wifi
w8ing for the ppls opinions
Thanks
honestly man, whats the point of this post? The devs know whats working and what isn't and I'm sure they're working on fixing and improving things. The fact that you can even boot up and run Android on a Windows Mobile phone shows the dedication and work they've put into this so far, its just a matter of work and time until everything is working, have faith and wait it out
dont be surprised if u start gettin some negative responses.
first off, the battery fix wrks great and is very accurate. there must b something u not doing right. i even posted my initial battery readings in the thread with this new build. actually the battery fix is almost dead accurate. i got 8+ hrs. outta of it yesterday. with overclock, with constant use. so nonoverclocked build will probaly bring even longer use.
second, wifi wrks perfectly.
third, why would u buy a device just to run a project build then if u wanted everything wrking? i understand the keyboard thing but unless u got ur device on a good ass deal, kind of silly to buy it just to run something not even fully completed yet. come on now.
Fourth, b4 u bought ur device, did u thoroughly read everything going on with this build or u just jumped in head first?
this is why so many people getting flamed cuz they dont do the research or homework. then come on here posting about why this or that isnt wrking. or what ASSUMPTIONS they have.
dont take this post the wrong way cuz this will probaly be one of the nicer posts towards u. lmfao juss way too many people jumping in and complaining when they wouldve already known the known issues with the build. which in ur case is incorrect. there has to be something u did wrong.
these are questions to ask self why batter fix and wifi not wrking for u.
Am i using the latest builds? Did i thoroughly follow instructions on installing it? Did i install the build with the battery fix in it? Did I break my battery fix by updating the zImage and modules?(which will break the battery fix). if thats not the case, then, Did i update the latest roofts and inirtd files? Did i even troubleshoot the problems b4 posting saying they dont wrk? lol
im not trying to sound like a dckhead..lmfao but im sure the developers would say the same thing basically.
they might have to implement what they doing on the other threads now. if u dont have a certain number of posts, then dont download and try out builds with doing the research first. a moderator stepped in and said that. cuz way too many people complaining about stuff thats already known or complaining about stuff that wrks but they didnt do it correctly.
food for thought, try the latest build. then DO NOT UPDATE THE ZIMAGE AND MODULES AFTERWARDS. only update the roofts and inirtd files.
if u need help getting it running right, let me know. ill be more thn happy to help or assist u, seriously. srry to sound cranky, just woke up n stressed about other things in life..lol
good luck

the point of this post is to know about battery fix.. because i think its damaging the battery...because while turing on the android the led indicator turns on and battery start heating-up sorry dont sound to be rude but please if u cant help dont bother to post you will waste your time...
Would you all kindly stop being illiterate? English words are made of letters not numbers.
On topic, jamb, you could have dropped the silly threats (Imma buy another phone) and just asked the question.
Considering this phone wasn't intended to even run android..... and you bought it without clearly reading through and seeing what was working and what wasn't... yeah I can see peoples frustrations with your question.
Your best bet, as I'm sure you know, if you wanted a perfectly working andoid phone was to buy one that was designed for it OR at least play with someones touch pro 2 who has android running on it so you would know what to expect.
It's called development for a reason, its still on going and there is still a LOT of work to be done and no one knows time frames on this. It's like asking when we're going to mars (all be it that might be a very dramatic example)
Regarding the battery. As was discussed... there is a fix and if it isn't working for you then you aren't doing something right. It's accurate and thats all anyone can hope for. As far as becoming warm. Well it probably has something to do with what you are using on your phone. Internet, GPS, etc etc... all at once. overclocking it is a big culprit for the warmness of phones. The more you tax the phone the more it will become warm.
It wont 'ruin' your batter by using the phone... Just be patient and understand that these fixes could come out tomorrow or could never come! Just what it is.

Your title isn't so much directed at andoid as it is the people who spend hours and hours and hours developing a working version for our phone. So, yes it can be taken as being insulting, with that people are going to see this post and think "who is this guy?"

My battery meter seems to be working just dandy. I did a test yesterday and it was dead on. When in Android I looked at the battery meter and it was about 3/4 full. I opened spare parts and it was at 64%. I then rebooted the phone into WM (6.5, energy ROM) and opened tbattery and it was at 64%
I chared my phone to 100% yester afternoon around 5pm and after heavy use; 5 minutes twitter updates, constant facebook, automaticl gmail check, and non-stop text, I'm still sitting around 50%.
The work they are doing is awesome.

Any battery meter needs to have several complete charge/recharge cycles to be completely accurate (charge phone to 100%, drain until it powers off by itself, repeat at least 3 times). So I would think Android on the TP2 is no different.
Anyway, if the OP got the message that the TP2 is "Andriod compatible", that that was the wrong impression, or at least an overstatement. This is an ongoing project. Given, one where some great folks are putting in tons of work and doing a wonderful job (and much appreciated). But its not perfect, and not the same as a phone which natively runs Android. If that was the OPs intent, then big mistake and he should have done more research before buying.
And its always been posted that the battery meter has issues. I don't know how he could puurchase a TP2 for android and didn't even read the 1st post of the thread.

Anyone tried buying those larger batteries off ebay? I saw one that's lager but isn't larger in size where you'd need a new back case.
How much difference is 1800mAh compared to 1500mAh anyway? Another hour of life?

1st well i completely readed the faqs that which things was working and which r not ..when i was going to buy new fone i was damn excited that the great devs make it happen to run android on TP2 and because i liked the keyboard and android compatible i thought that battery fix will come soon ... i got no interest to use winmo ..now i m fedup with winmo and just want to switch to android completely thats y i just asked for the battery fix.i m not forcing them to make it for me..just asking
2nd well i got 2 options motorola milestone(totally android ) or htc tp2 .. i was not into motorola devices so readed about tp2 is compatible ..well in my country only 5 or 6% ppls use other brand otherwise the remaining ppls use nokia or samsung so i wasnt able to use tp2 before the only option i got was to use it personally .....
i know that many many works need to be done...
well i readed about the fix but it is working without wifi and as i said earlier , i know its sound mean but all i need is battery fix with wifi...well as for battery warming without internet , no gps , no overclocking , no nothing just used with its original files it was just lying on my table and when i put it into my pocket i can feel that the battery is warming up so i have to restart the fone to switch back to winmo...
Your best bet, as I'm sure you know, if you wanted a perfectly working andoid phone was to buy one that was designed for it OR at least play with someones touch pro 2 who has android running on it so you would know what to expect.

I am going to buy this phone. But is this a good phone ? How is the battery ? And i read on the net that the bootloader is locked so can we install custom roms root it ? how ? and the battery is not removable so if i hang the phone sometimes so how reboot if the keys doesnt work because battery is unremovable ?
Thanks (i am a noob )
Good phone, battery life is not bad, bootloader is locked but you can unlock it from HTCdev site but it may void your warranty and no S-OFF for now, how to root it, search and read and find out and on how to reboot just use the powerbutton at the top to reboot by long pressing it.
If you are going to buy this phone make your research. Do not wait for other people to do the work for you. There is a review thread exactly in the same place were you posted this thread, there is a battery stats thread were people post the battery life and talk about it so you could of jumped in there to find out more about battery. There is a thread by Hamdir regarding what to look out when going and buying your phone and checking what issues to have a look at when inspecting the phone before you buy it...Plus so many reviews over youtube you could look for. I might sound harsh but everyday it is the same freaking question with someone opening a thread and it ends up getting closed anyway. So do your research before buying something. Simple as that.

Don't buy it. I regret doing this mistake. I will NEVER buy any HTC phone again. I had Desire, Desire Z and now One X. They all were plagued by problems. One X has so many problems with the software and with hardware, it's not worth to buy it. I will try to bring it back and buy Galaxy S3. Samsung never failed me
Buy it. It's a fantastic phone.

Don't agree with this at all, the phone had some minor bugs when it was first released but they all seem to be fixed now....at least they are for me anyway!
The only thing I don't like is the way it handles multi tasking, not the GUI implemention which is cool and works better than most reviews make out, but the way it kills apps to quickly. I'm sure we'll be able to sort this out with a custom rom later on.
All in all its a great phone with excellent battery life, so long as you dont play too many games

I'm just wondering how come I didn't have all these thoughts? goodphone, battery, bootloader, screen, etc etc. I just loved the phone the moment I saw it.. it's like love at first sight.. probably u'l know if that's this is the one when you actually hold it.. more like a girl, you know if she's the one for u or not
just my 2 cents bro.. honest opinion.. u won't regret it. yes, sometimes it does make u think wuts wrong, but never it will let u down thinkin it's a bad investment.
hope it helps
Go for it. It's working perfect for one month and I didn't even apply any of three released software updates for not to miss possible s-off exploits.

Hi there.
You have not specified which model G3 you have but either way the best custom ROM 5.1.1 (based on CM 12.1) at the moment is BlissPop and you can have more info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/rom-blisspop-v2-0-ls990-t3022685
It is a an extremely stable ROM, with lots of Official releases for all G3 models, it comes supplied with LOADS of options to customize your phone the way you want it and it has many dedicated people helping others for support, including myself.
As far as options to custom it surely has lots more than stock ROMS. It is much fluid and smooth. And this goes for any AOSP ROM compared to plain stock.
As far as battery goes surely depends on usage but you can get with a few extra tweaks around 5 hours SOT and up to 2 days with little use.
Your phone will not be worth more in the market shall you want to resell it but you can always go back to stock anytime.
Rooting and flashing custom ROMS is way better than stock and more fun. There are risks involved but if you are careful and take the time to understand and read and learn first BEFORE doing something wrong you will be fine.
Hope this helps you.
*I rooted my phone the same day I bought it 6 months ago and been having lots of fun with it. Just take your time to read things and don't jump too quick into things and you will be fine.
Hope this helps and if I did please press the thanks button.
Ok, " there's a disturbance in the force" :silly: so I am new to the world of phone hacks, tips, tricks, and repairs. I am pretty good with PC's and Laptops but phones are a new venture. I currently own a Galaxy Note 4 from AT&T. It is mine I have full admin access to all features etc... It has never been rooted or switched roms. I had a note 4 about 2 years back and noticed the battery started dying very quickly. I thought it was just the batteries time to go. So I just upgraded and got rid of it. After feeling nostalgic, I got another one and sure as rain, it was draining fast. I bought another battery even bigger Mah. and still fast drain. My father who works for AT&T advised me that there was a patch or update secretly sent out by Samsung that causes this problem due to their exploding battery issue to avoid any more law suits. My father also informed me that if I brought my firmware back to KIT-KAT 4.4.2 and disabled ATT or Samsung updates that this will restore the batteries longevity. I need to know how to do this. I have looked on XDA for answers but I find only parts and they seem unclear or incomplete for what I am trying to do. Is there a way to do this? if so how? please understand I am no phone guru. but if the instructions are clear to follow I can most certainly get this done. I'd like to thank everyone who has read this, and special thanks in advance to the person able to provide the information I need.

Have you checked to see if there apps that are draining your batteries more than the others?
Also, since your father works for ATT, would there be a chance to ask for the bootloader unlock for the N910A? That way, we can use custom ROMs and kernels which might provide us with the solution for lengthening the battery life and improving the performance of our device!
Thank you for the reply. I got this bone stock. I have added no extra apps onto it. I have even removed and or shut off apps that I will not be using. I have also dimmed the display, etc... as far as unlocking the bootloader info. The only information he was able to pull up is the newest Droid version. He doesn't have access to anything else their systems for employees are basically hyperlinks for problem-solving network and simple issues. he is the one who directed me here. sorry, i couldn't help with that. Moreover, he has to be careful what he does. He is not supposed to help friends or family with any services or he gets terminated..!!! This is what I have gathered from scowering the internet. back all my files up EFS File most important. Then use odin to flash the 4.4.2 kit-kat firmware. then block all samsung or att updates. blocking the updates I do not know how to do. flashing the firmware I can do!!!
If your phone is running Android 5.1.1 or or newer, then I don't think it can be downgraded to KitKat. It would probably be better for you to just try to figure out what is draining your battery. Check the battery information in settings, or if you want more detail then get get GSAM Battery Monitor or Better Battery Stats in the Play store.
