Would messed up towers cause an increased battery drainage? I guess if true, that would explain why I've been having battery issues with different phones, different roms, etc. I'll try out the airplane mode thing but I don't think it's a background task or app causing the problems because each...

I got my LG Optimus with Sprint back in early May of 2011 and as soon as I got it, I rooted it and was using Nick's Reborn 2.2 rom for months without any apparent issues. Then lately, I noticed that my battery was discharging a lot faster than usual and my phone felt like it was overheating. I...

Hmm so I decided to revert back to Reborn 2.2.2 which is what I was using for months. Oddly, I seem to be having the same battery issue with that too now. The battery keeps draining quickly and the phone feels very warm to the touch (overheating?). Nick, when you say to take a few runs...

Yeah this is a fresh install of Reborn on a brand new phone before I installed anything else. The only apps I've installed was the Amazon app store and Opera Mini. Everything else is whatever came with the rom. I could check the running apps/processes but I wouldn't know what I should be...

Hi Nick, First off, I want to thank you for putting in the time to develop your rom. I've been using it since I first got my Optimus back in April of this year. Anyways, I've been recently having problems with my phone overheating and the battery discharging really quickly. I brought it into...

Re: [ROM] Reborn ROM v2.2.2 - 6/28/11 If I had the older Reborn rom on my phone and just flashed the updated version without wiping data, cache, etc. what would happen? I'm kind of a noob at the whole backup thing and it's my understanding that wiping data means erasing everything on the phone...

The thing is, I seem to get bad battery life even when I'm not in the subway and am sitting at home or in the office all day. As you indicated, my phone is always searching for both phone and data signals but I'm assuming that would be true even if I was in a good reception area and had full...

I love Reborn rom but unfortunately I'm one of those who seems to have horrible battery life. I work in NYC and noticed that when I'm in the subway (where there's no service), I get the data roam guard pop-up even if I'm not doing anything that requires internet service. I'm thinking maybe...

Hmm...well I found a noIQagent.zip file link further along in the thread and installed that without any problems but after reading your post, I checked the contents of my SD card and found a noIQagent-patch.zip file with a 5/04/11 date. So I went ahead and installed it and rebooted and now it's...

Hi, I just installed the Reborn Rom on my Optimus S using the instructions in the thread but had 2 questions: 1) In the instructions, it says to "Flash noIQagent.zip" after letting the rom fully boot. There doesn't seem to be any link for the noIQagent.zip file. Considering the rom seems to...

I did the above and clicked on "allow" for the superuser prompt on my phone. Does that mean I'm rooted now? When I open up adb shell, I get the $ instead of # again. When I type su, then it'll change to the # sign.

I just bought a new LG Optimus S from Sprint and got the Bodyglove rubberized hardcase with belt clip for it. While I'm not too fond of the texture/pattern of the rubber, it was the only case I could find with a belt clip.
