Has anyone figured out how to pull the MSL for these devices?

Anyone else having huge battery drains from Bluetooth? It seems to be especially bad when I'm driving and the phone is synced to my fords radio.

Ever since the 4.4 KK OTA upgrade I've been noticing a massive battery drain on my phone when I'm driving in my car. I have a Ford with the MyFordSync stereo. With the latest update to Hangouts I'll see 15-20% battery usage for hangouts and bluetooth. The culprit appears to be StartingObexMapTransaction in com.andorid.bluetooth.Bluetooth. The wake lock lasts for as long as I'm driving (which also means for as long as the phone is synced up with the myfordsync). I didn't see this in 4.2 and the battery drain is slightly better if I uninstall the Hangouts update. Does anyone else have this issue? It is exceptionally annoying, especially on days when I spend 3+ hours driving. I try not to keep my phone plugged in when driving to avoid unnecessarily putting the battery through charge cycles.

Any word on when the team d3rp zvc base band version will be released?

I just disabled it, not noticing any failures yet.

And actually works consistently instead of you phone bouncing around to the bad spring signal then into your airave and then back and forth until your battery is at 15% by 7pm and you haven't hardly used the phone at all. I love and hate my airave...

You can thank the cellular network for that. Noting to do with the phone usually.

First thing I did on my phone was ensure connections optimizer was turned off.

+1 for lux.

Can we see the battery usage below that?

Does it support miracast, slimport, the ir blaster?

This may be the reason for the delay ZVB and the change to ZVC: http://www.zdnet.com/kitkat-giving-you-battery-drain-problems-try-uninstalling-skype-says-google-as-it-prepares-a-fix-7000027051/

I believe that remarking to yourself about how clear it sounds is about the only indicator I've heard about.

Google play services was sucking down all sorts of power up until a few days ago for me. Now I'm back to the normal 30% total usage in a normal day. Seems to have happened when I got the 55018 prl, I have an airave at home so maybe that has something to do with it?

I don't see why that would be a problem

Or just dedicate a pocket to your phone and don't put anything else in there that could scratch it (keys, coins, anything hard). I personally use a nillkin case for my g2.works great, even keeps the screen off of a surface of you put the phone face down.

One thing to remember with high ISO settings is the amount of noise that you will get with them. I try and shoot around 100-800 ISO on my Canon 50D. That range is typically pretty good for keeping the image clean of sensor noise. That said, you can use those higher ISO settings to introduce a bit of artistic flare in your photos to make them look a little grainy. All part of the fun.

I haven't had any issues with my g2 either. Really hoping the kit Kat update comes soon though.

Completely stock ROM. TWRP Recovery 2.6.3.3

Garwynn just posted a modified zip that bypasses the checks/recovery and is flashable in TWRP. I just installed it myself and all seems to be working great! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627646

Oh good, another icon to further clutter up the bar up top. I'm actually most interested in Tap and Pay with Google Wallet. Does anyone happen to know if/when support for that will be baked in to the G2 (or if there's some what to hack it in via root or some such)? I got rather spoiled with my SG3 and the looks people would give me like I was some kind of wizard for tapping my phone on the credit card pad to pay for things.
