How do I restore my phone to original so I can start over? I am getting horrible battery life now with this new radio version and I have tried multiple roms. I made a nandroid backup when I first rooted my phone I just need a little bit of info on how to restore this version and will this version send my radio back to normal? I am not sure that is the problem but it started about the time I did the flash to the new version and I would really just like to kinda "start over" to get rid of any issues my flashing all these different roms may have caused. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

welcome to xda. there is a search thread button on the top right of the forum it will find all the keywords you type so that should help you. always search in the forum before starting a new thread so we can keep clutter down. anyways the radio isnt messed with by alot of things because it is very risky and it is also in a whole different partition so a nandroid will not restore it.

download the stock and flash it. goodluck. be very careful with radio.
I didn't try looking around on the forum for the way to flash it back. I have become very proficient in messing with my phone so I am not worried about bricking it, but thank you very much for your help.
This is really weird, I just noticed my radio version is 2.14.05.02.03, from what I have read it is supposed to be 2.14.04.02.03 and it does not wanna seem to flash back when using the signed version of the stock roms... I dont get it anyone help me?
that is weird. someone made a typo lol. anyways try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644004&highlight=radio&page=3 go to post # 28. DL and try to flash. i made a different update-script so maybe this other one will work for you.

It isnt working though since the flash a week or so ago I have been getting terrible battery life and I cant figure out what is wrong... I have wiped, tried about 4 different roms and nothing changes the battery still drains like crazy. I also tried a rom with like no programs running and made sure that I had nothing running that could possibly kill the battery.
I tried that one as well... Still says the same thing, this is really odd, I really think this is causing my battery issues. I flashed both that one and the one on the main page, do you think possibly that the problem is related to this. The only radio update I ever flashed besides this downgrade was the one that Flipz posted to go with his Android 2.1 rom... This is really weird I am really getting worried that I am gonna be stuck on this radio version forever now =(

I have been using pancake .1 I love the rom it is very basic. Only things I keep running besides what is normally running is official Facebook app, Google Voice, and Handcent, besides that I have killed every app to try and find the culprit of this problem.

in "Battery Info" it gives only basic info on status, current level, scale, temp, time since boot, and a few more unneeded values, nothing about individual pieces of software.

Do you have Spare Parts installed. You should be able to get info from there. Do you have GPS, Wireless, or Bluetooth on? I have the updated Radio and while I am sleeping I am only using 9% of my battery. With my stock ROM I was using 35% I have everything off except mobile networks and when I go to sleep I turn that off. I do not over-Widget my homescreens or have email checked every 5 minutes.
Maybe try Damage Control V1 or Fresh Rom 2.0. I know DCv1 is great as long as you follow soome of the steps on remving one of the applications.

Nothing conclusive in any of these threads, and I am beginning to worry...id really like my old radio back.
It's an issue with the new radio. Your phone is constantly looking for a GSM signal, preventing the radio from sleeping. Either need to flash the old radio, or upgrade to a 2.1 ROM and follow my guide.
Well, I am on Fresh 2.0c now and my battery life seems better. It was literally going down like 10% or so per hour before, it is back to normal now like normal for 2.1 roms. I reinstalled the radio a few times and I read in other threads that even though the versions wasnt changing in settings it was really changing. So I think it is fixed now but I still got my fingers crossed.
Even if your battery life is better now, you still need to follow the guide to change the Preferred Network to CDMA auto (PRL) otherwise your phone will still be wasting a good amount of battery searching for a GSM signal... I'm on Fresh 2.0c with the new radio and I'm only seeing like a 20% battery drop over 7 hours with normal usage.
hi guys..my first post..as you can read from the title i'm experiencing problems with system clock...using stock o modded firmware like 3.2rayglobe that is on now..
when the phone is in stand-by position the clock stays still..it doesn't work until you wake it up from stand-by...
i also noticed that when the g2 is charging there is no bug even with stand-by
any idea?
thanx in advance
It's not a bug just the way it works. It doesn't need to update while it sleeps. When it's charing it's not sleeping hence it will update all the time.

Aha! No that's not correct behavior. Something's wrong. Go ask in the thread of the rom you're using.

I have the Martian. I haven't tried the weather since I updated the firmware. The old firmware caused a gps wakelock that drained the battery on my phone.
I will turn on the weather again and let you know.

Thanx stelthy77, please let me know.:good:
Looks like it is working so far for me.
I did have to reboot the watch.
Here is what I did:
In the app: Enable weather forecast, go to settings, confirm changes twice.
Reboot watch.
It didn't show up right away, but after I got another notification on the watch it was there.
Just press the lower button once, and it pops up after the status info and date. (6 degrees here, chilly...)
You can also try doing all of the above a second time if it doesn't take (recommended by Martian).

Glad you got it working. I was just gonna ask if you had location issues.
I am still getting some battery drain from the Martian app when running with weather on. Let me know your results.

stelthy77, sorry didn't replied because i wanna knw the battery drain on mine before reply, I dont get alot of text so good for over 4 days....
I just got a new S7 edge 935f. I rooted it with magisk after installing twrp. I have tried a few Nougat stock roms and in all of them, my alarm clock fails to go off first thing in the morning. It will come on when I push the home button and for the rest of the day all alarms work fine. It is only the first morning alarm that fails.
I wonder if this is due to something wrong with the kernel, and if installing a custom kernel may fix this. Or is the a lib file that may be corrupt.
Anyone else experience this kind of problem? I read in a few articles and forums that it is linked possibly to a SOD (sleep of death) bug. Hoping some information can come from anyone else who knows of this.
Thanks in advance.
So a custom rom and kernel failed to fix this. In the kernel settings with mtweaks I even allowed all wake locks. Mos puzzling and even slightly frustrating...

Hey have you tried using a third party alarm clock so you can test if it's an isolated case or with all of them ?

Check the battery saver app in maintanance it miht have picked up the clock app which I soubt but it is a good idea to check it.

Yes, I checked all those things... I wonder about MM 6.0.1 if the issue would remain or not. I found an app "SOD Killer" that I will test. It results in some battery being used to keep it from going into deep sleep. Have googled this and there are a lot of others with the situation but not a lot of fixes around.

I feel my alarms fail as well from time to time, but i think the culprit is, in advance features the easy mute function have you tried turning it off ?
It might have a bug or something with the sensor.

No I haven't tried that. I have mine working now. It woke me up this morning. What did it is the app "SOD Killer" which is on google play. It increases battery useage a little but until I find out which file is keeping phone asleep, it's a small price imho.
do not "freeze" or "doze" or use any similar apps to "kill" clock app in background.
which means, clock app needs to run to have alarm working.

I don't kill or freeze anything. Only thing I have to make alarm work is the SOD Killer app that keeps phone from going into deep sleep.
So a funny thing happened on the way back to Marshmallow 6.0.1 as I had just finished getting through setup and was about to start doing things on my phone, I got a notification that there was a firmware update downloading. It was taking me back to 7.0 and it upgraded my phone to the first version of Nougat for Luxembourg. Then a few minutes later another system update was downloading and I installed it and my phone now had the latest Nougat for Luxembourg. So first thing I checked was the alarm. I set one for 4 hours later, and it worked. I also tested an overnight alarm and it also worked. So now I have working alarms. Still going to downgrade back to 6.0.1 though, just feels better than Nougat to me.
Hey, so lately I've been experiencing incredibly fast battery drain, I am confused of why this is happening, I rooted my phone and tried doing some things to improve it, but that didn't help. When I first got my phone the battery was extremely good. I've just recently flashed stock firmware but it's still terrible, does anyone know any tips or tricks, maybe the root of my problem? I'll drop some screenshots as well.

You should try update system apps from dedicated menu.
This does not look THAT bad. Really.
Snapchat... Facebook Messenger... Facebook dedicated app.
Also that battery monitor crap. Anything else similar to that installed?
These are true battery suckers, also try dealing with QuickMemo+ app, as previously mentioned.

You've got a point, will remove one of the battery monitors. I seem to be some improvement after the QuickMemo+ trick.
Although I really don't know any good Facebook & Facebook Messenger replacements. Those I tried were just not giving me full performance and they're not looking good.
Isn't there a way to disable Quickmemo+ without root ?

Did you try LG hidden menu trick? To do that, you need to type *#546368#*870# in dialer and you'll see a hidden menu. Then, tap on SVC Menu > LDB > Untick "enable" (both options needs to be unticked) close the menu and restart it. Most of the users says that this method is also useable, you can give it a try.
Hey,i have been experiencing the same thing.For me is like android system and android os and phone idle eat battery as the same time as the screen.So that means i am using the phone and three things at the same time are eating the battery.I went down from 5 hrs sot to 3 and a half.I have done a lot of things like the hidden menu,the quicknote,conserve memory thing.I don't know why it does that and the phone is really heating up.I have not experience this level of heat ever on my g6.I use the h870 europe with january security patch.
You all call this bad backup?? Plz get your phone tested. See my phones's backup.. this backup with no in between charge
sounds like a rogue app, install better battery stats from play store and check results (it will ID apps chowing battery).
