You just flashed two roms within the last 24 hours.

You may wanna wait and let one settle in for a couple days before deciding how your battery life is.

It takes a little time for it to adjust and it also does a lot of heavy work after the initial flash, setting things up, downloading and syncing data, etc,..

Give it a little time, then assess it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] chatmaster20:
I flash a lot and have tons of shortcuts on my screen. What's the best way to bring them back after every flash or it is just safer to keep adding them manually? From what I was reading, it could be dangerous to back up and restore system files on different builds. But was wondering if you guys had a better solution for something like that. Thanks!

What's in the 8-4 release that's being uploaded right now?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LeftyGR:
From the infected forums...

« does your phone do that?»
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
I've been experiencing some weird wifi drops. Like I will randomly drop wifi and switch to 3G then pick it back up. It actually did it while I typed this out.

Edit : I suppose I should say that I'm running 8-2. It seems that by setting it to CDMA only fixed it

Edit 2: The previous statement was false. So I decided to give 8-4 a shot. No such luck. It's almost like anytime it get's a worthy network load it drops wifi.

Does anyone know if the 8.4 release changes the kernel for better battery life or should I flash a different kernel?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] goldillo:
Any chance to unblock the mms connection settings?????????
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LeftyGR:
8-4 uses imo's 6.2. I would stick with that.

«does your phone do that?»
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dwazzue:
Are you using current radio(.19)? If so try rolling back to the last one (.09). Might help, or you can try a different kernel.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] thunderbolt33:
In 8-4 which is what i running now i ran the supercharger script and you know picked out all the tweaks/options i wanted my phone to run, my question is now i want to run speedtweak will that affect/overwrite any settings from the supercharger script?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xs11e:
Thanks, the battery life isn't very good (8 hours maybe) for some reason. I flashed the BAMF 3++kernel, I'll see if that is better.

Wow, what a difference! It's 4PM (got up at 7 and took phone off charging dock) and I'm at 93%! Fairly light usage but still, that's amazing!

I recall similar improvement using BAMF 3++ Kernel on a prior build.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] donnyp1:
Turn off 4g when not using, battery grows alot
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xs11e:
Thanks, BTDT, didn't help much. I usually have 4G where I use the phone.

WiFi on 8-4 rom

Installed the 8-4 rom a couple of days back. Everything is going well generally speaking. One odd thing is WiFi. I use WiFi a lot. When the phone has been off for a long while, the WiFi obviously goes to sleep. When it wakes up, it has trouble connecting. I have no internet access of at all until I switch WiFi off and back on.

I believe the problem is that when I turn on the phone, it starts to use the mobile network, then suddenly this WiFi network comes on with a new IP address and DNS, and the apps choke on the change.

In the past I recall setting for the sleep mode for WiFi. I haven't found those in this rom. Does anyone remember such settings and where they are?

Or am I confused (again) :laugh:.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bsdesign0000:
I cannot seem to get my Connect to USB to work... i have my usb cable plugged in, and its charging but when i switch to disk drive , it doesnt connect (nor does it show a notification icon either).... any advice?

Also, is there any way to get the Compass crosshair icon out of the status bar?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dropline:
You try a different port or reinstall USB driver?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
Mine did that the other day. Took 3 tries before the "disk mode" option stuck.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dwazzue:
You might also have a bad flash. I only get the compass when an app access the location services.

Did you do a superwipe before flashing the new ROM?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] androidsupra:
did you install a different status bar from the tweaks section?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bsdesign0000:
I just flashed the ROM again this morning and same issue with the USB connect. I did a superwipe as well. havnt installed any tweaks or anything like that. could be my usb cable here at work. i will give the one at home a try tonight
[Thunderbolt Android Development] snow580:
Anyone else ever have this issue?

I just updated my fiances bolt which had I believe the 6-8 release to the current one and I thought I'd just flash it dirty which I've done before with no problems but this time it actually wiped everything without me knowing about it.... Needless to say she is NOT happy about it. I know it's my fault for not backing up but I double checked on the infectedrom website and it said it only wipes what it has to so dirty flashing is possible.

I just thought I'd share this for anyone who might dirty flash also that it wiped everything at least in my case.

The rom is fantastic tho and the bolt will be running this for Eternity:)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] makoto:
I have been running the 8-4 release for a few days and keep having problems. I get lockups where the screen won't turn on and also have issues with the phone running slow. I flashed this on my wife's phone too, who is a fairly light user, and she also experiences lockups. How is it that everyone else is getting this to run smoothly?

I flashed using 4ext recovery and super wiped.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bsdesign0000:
Still having issues with USB Connection with this ROM. I did a full wipe, reinstalled the ROM and I still am unable to get the Dis Drive USB connection option working at all. I know my USB cable works fine as it connects fine running CM7, but this release (8-4) it doesn't bring up the option to connect in its various ways. So i went into Settings > Connect to USB > and changed it to Disk Drive, and still no option. Sometimes it shows the drive letter in My Computer however when I try to open the drive it says there is nothing connected. I can't figure out why this is happening. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions. I have reflashed several times with the same outcome. I am using 4ext, doing a wipe/factory reset, the full wipe and clearing delvik, before flashing each time.

I did a USB Diagnostic using the USB Host Controller app in the market, and I got this report:

USB Host Controller

Version number: 0.44

S3C USB Host driver NOT found!

Root hub is not present, USB Host mode not active or not available!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LeftyGR:
You didn't, by chance, run Smurfed Out..did you? Specifically the part that asks if you're running your sd card in ext4 format? Or any other scripts, for that matter...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderTech:
I did a Factory Wipe, Flashed InfectedROM Eternity 8-4 (wiped Cache/Delvik Cache for good measure) and rebooted to system.

After getting numerous Force Closes on the initial boot, I pulled the battery and turned power on and started booting again with the same result.

I pulled the battery again and booted into TWRP 2.2.0 Recovery and Fixed Permissions.

The subsequent reboot went flawlessly, and the phone booted completely, asking for WiFi Access, Gmail account etc... as expected for a fresh install. I installed Titanium Pro and restored a few of my apps and started testing numerous squawks listed in here in the Forum.

USB would not connect as Drive initially until I deselected Debug (By clicking on the ICON in the Notification Bar and unchecking the box,,, I am unable to locate Debug in the any of the Settings sub-menus. I've searched several times)

After deselecting Debug, and then choosing " Mount as Disk Drive" for a connection type, my windows AutoPlay window pops up and I and able to choose "Open folder to view files" and I can see everything on the SD Card. (AirDroid works very well on the local WiFi... But WiFi has other issues, that I haven't troubleshot yet. i.e AirDroid works great on the same network segment, however I cannot get on the internet through the Gateway the at work, but I will troubleshoot that when I have more time. Note: WiFi Tethering works fine.)

Here are the Squawks I have with 8-4

- Jawbone BT voice prompts do not work. (Cannot voice dial)

- WiFi Internet access does not work (FING App shows all the computers on the network, except for the Gateway... I will try other networks to see if it is a local problem)

- Battery life appears to have worsened, but I will give it a few days and then will try the BAMF 3++ Kernel

Note: I am currently running 2.6.35.15 imoseyon Kernel http://rootzwiki.com/topic/603-kernel-gb-sense-leankernel-minimalistic-kernel-620-6312-camcorder-fixed/

Kernel version: 2.6.35.14-imoseyon-6.2.0dev13GBS+

Build number: InfectedROM Eternity (NIGHTLY) dated 8-4
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dwazzue:
Well they did recommend on flashing this that you Wipe completely since there is enough changes in the ROM that there would/could be issues with yoru flash. I don't recall anywhere the recommendation to flash dirty. But it was mentioned that this Rom Wipes Data. So there you go.

Did you run any scripts? Smurf or SuperCharge? What did you flash it in 4EXT, TWRP etc? Did you recover any apps data?

I was getting lockups after running the Smurf. I reverted changes and ran Supercharge and am not having the lockups anymore. But the more information you provide the better help that can be given.

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

I seemed to recall an issue with flasing using TWRP. I had the similar issue when I used it. Took several flashes before flash seemed to work. I switched to 4ext and no longer have that issue

Settings>Aplications>Development>USB Debbugging is where Debugging is for USB

I have issues with my IN Car Bluetooth and voice commands using Vlingo. My Car connects then immediately says goodby before I can talk... LMAO frustraiting! This is a new issue that I didn't have with 248 and I think is related to the BT mappings.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bsdesign0000:
I finally got Connect to PC to work on this ROM... I fashed it 4 more times last night and it finally worked on the 4th flash... not sure why it took almost a dozen flashes total to get it to work, but its working lol. Great ROM.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ThunderTech:
Whose App are you running to get the battery stats? I love the graphics and looks like the onw that is cooked into a Rom I'm running on my Kindle (If this is cooked into the Infected Eternity Rom, it's hidden very well)

What Kernel are you running? (IMO, Ziggys, BAMF, Rootzwiki Minimalistic, etc...)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dropline:
My wife was having issues also, only on builds without the map profile.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bsdesign0000:
so i was able to get the Connect to PC to work... but now mysteriously its not working again.. argggh
[Thunderbolt Android Development] makoto:
I am able to connect to my PC and browse the files on my SD card just fine, even with USB debugging enabled.

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------

I didn't run any scripts for a few days, and then I thought I'd try to run the speedtweak.sh script that's part of imoseyon's kernel to see if it would help alleviate the slowness and lockups, but no luck. Earlier today, my Sense launcher restarted and then didn't start back up. The notification bar was still showing, and the background just showed the white background with the HTC logo.

I haven't ran any scripts at all on my wife's phone, and she sent me an angry text while I was at work letting me know that her phone crashed three times and that I should not touch her phone anymore.

I'll try diagnosing the problems as they occur, looking at logcat, and looking at the process list to see if any are taking up too much CPU.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
I decided to give this rom another shot. I did a factory reset and a superwipe then installed the rom. It's still dropping wifi for some reason. Prior to rooting the phone I was on 2.11.605.19. Would this make any difference?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dwazzue:
It shouldn't I am on the .09 version and does the same thing to me. Turn Wifi off in Quick setting and back on and it will reconnect util your phone sleeps again. But my connection to Cellular Data is much better and stronger than when I was using the .19 each phone has its sweet spot for sure!

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

I can access my SD card just fine with it on as well.

I let my T-Bolt run till everything was done installing from Play Store and I set it up the way I like before I hit the scripts. This let the phone settle good before boosting it. I noticed some sluggishness before I ran scripts as well so this also send me down the script path.

Like I Said I ran Smurf and Supercharge and that was not good. Reverted and just ran Supercharge script and phone has been very solid since.

Oh yeah.... I also went backwards to the .09 radio because of Cellular Signal issues.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
What was on the phone previously has no impact whatsoever. Between the factory reset and superwipe, any and all traces of .19 are now gone.

I'm running the latest version, 0804, with 1.49.00.0406w_1 / 0.01.79.0331w_1 radios. I don't actively use WiFi enough to know if it drops or not though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
I don't know, it's kinda intermittent now. I did the typical reboot after the first boot and it seems to be holding up ok now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gammaxgoblin:
Did you click menu in Wi-Fi setting and make sure sleep policy is changed to never?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
I always forget about that setting and speaking of that, does anyone know if that policy kicks in when there is an active transfer using WiFi ? If so, that function is flawed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
I don't think that will matter if it is set to sleep with the screen off. When I have mine set like that when I tether it will drop out after the screen is off for a little while.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
I fail to see the logic in that design.... I'd never tested it, but I've likely ran into it when I'd download a fairly large file and set my phone down and not use it while the download is ongoing. I'd frequently have "Download failed..." messages when I look later.

99% of the time that I tether, I make sure the phone is plugged in. I also have the setting enabled that keeps the screen on when on USB/AC power.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Don't ask me. I didn't design the android os or the WiFi sleep policies in it so about all I can do is let you know my experience with tethering on android since I've been using it for around 3 years now. The other thing you may try is changing the WiFi scan interval to a lower value in the build prop.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
I know you didn't design it....

Changing that build.prop setting would have no effect, by the way. That determines how often it looks for WiFi networks (when awake).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
If you're being disconnected from the WiFi wouldn't it have to rescan for the network to reestablish it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] hallstevenson:
That policy of putting WiFi to sleep will override any need to look for WiFi networks. Consider if WiFi is asleep, it's effectively "off".
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Stratejaket:
What router are you trying to connect to, or is it multiple routers? I noticed when I was at work with cheap belkin routers the wifi connection would completely suck. Always disconnecting. However when I'm connecting to any other type of router once connected it sticks. Some belkins have a setting to change the channel bandwidth from 20mhz to 20/40mhz. Sometimes selecting the 20/40 option helps with Wireless N card connectivity.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
D-Link DGL-4500 I haven't experienced this with any other roms so I'm kinda stumped.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dropline:
I recall people having issues with a certain brand router awhile back, to intoxicated right now to remember. Not sure if it was d-link or Belkin but I think it was one of those.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Dwazzue:
Superwipe and factory doesn't touch the radio. Just ROMS, Kernels data and caches.

However once you install a new radio there should be no traces of the old one.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Sense 3.5 roms have a stricter wifi policy.

That is why wifi works better with some routers and configs then others.

Also why you may have had better wifi connectivity with your specific router on an older Sense version rom.

It has everything to do with wifi policies and nothing to do with a bug, or radio, or superwiping, or what you wore to bed last night. :)

Just wanted to at least clear that up a little bit, since there seems to be such confusion over it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Shadow Death:
Well, that just means I'll be avoiding Sense 3.5 and sporting pure AOSP roms when/if ICS ever releases. TBH, I find sense as more of a nuisance than a helper but considering the alternatives it's a necessary evil I guess. Thanks for clearing that up. :o
[Thunderbolt Android Development] heath2805:
It shouldn't matter what base your on when you root. When your rooted and flash a rom, your on the base the rom was built off of.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Zombie069:
Can someone give me some info on getting the swap to work? I've flashed the 6.2.1 zip from imo's page, but I still don't have the file structure that is listed IN the zip, and since flashing it everytime I reboot I have to uninstall/reinstall terminal IDE because it gives me "permission denied" for any command. Zram initiated fine, but I cannot get anywhere with swap... What am I missing?

Running -8-4 with the dev13 kernel...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] santod040:
Have a LOOK HERE

And if you are using 4Ext Recovery and formatting in ext4 format, you need the modified swap.zip so that it mounts in ext4.

Good luck! :) It does work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Zombie069:
Thanks Santod, that's what I was missing. Running 4ext 1005, neglected to include that info. Off to experiment with this.

Thanks again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Ellises:
I have been using the latest version 8-4 since the day it came out now all of sudden this morning the phone is freezing up after I got a few phone calls, and remains to do so after I reboot it. Wiping dalvik cache and running fix permission scripts before I try a full wipe. The error that keeps repeating in logcat is "rmt_storage wait event ioctl failed" ... just very odd to go from stable to unusable especially when i have not touched a thing system wise or installed any applications for a week or so.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Zombie069:
Got it in and working just fine. I will say that while -8-4 is snappier, I think the 248-mecha I have been running since it's release is better performing overall. -8-4 has me waiting about 4-5 minutes after booting before it's actually smooth and usable. Also anytime something is installed the lag-period is about 45-60 seconds vs ~10 seconds on 248. I'll play with it for a few days and see what comes of it, but IMO there was not enough benefit yet to leave 248 for this version. My phone won't run at 1.9ghz, 3 locks in a 8 minute span, so I edited the 01vdd file to keep the max at 1.7, and moved the min up to 384. Using the smartass gov at the moment but I'll go through and give them all some time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kylebenton:
I'm having a bit of an issue with the ROM. I think its the radio. Sometimes the WiFi tether works, and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes Slacker Radio works, then it doesn't. Rebooting the system works occasionally, but not every time. Has anyone else had this problem? Solutions? I love the ROM, but its usless if 4g, WiFi tether, and account sync don't function properly.

Thanks.

Kyle.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] makoto:
I experienced a lot of problems, data would keep dropping, screen won't turn on, really slow while updating/installing apps, really slow if I ran two apps. I even tried tweaking settings like changing clock speeds and governors, enabling swap with very little improvement. The ROM was very nice when it did work correctly however I think it still needs to be ironed out before it's ready to be a daily driver.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] kylebenton:
That sucks. This is a really slick ROM. I was using bamf 4.9, but it got old. Have any suggestions for a replacement ROM if I get tired of tweeking this one?

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] makoto:
You could try the leaked ICS ROM which has the latest sense. That worked well for me... just make sure you use ext3 and not ext4 for your file systems. For AOSP, I am using JellyBlur which has been really smooth and stable and I am starting to like Go Launcher along with their widgets that give an experience that is comparable and in some ways better than Sense.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Moisesm:
can anyone shed some light.. i followed install instructions on infected site.. now ive flashed tons of other roms before and this one is one of my favorite roms especially because with the base band radio i am getting ridiculous connection speeds. anywhere from 15 to 32 Mbps per second on verizon 4g lte.. now that said ive never had another rom heat up my phone like this.. something simple like music player or even you tube on other roms my phone has maintained itself under 100F and with this rom im well over 110F.. my phone is getting way to hot in my hand.. anyone else having same issue???
[Thunderbolt Android Development] npro1464:
No clue how to answer your question, but what radio are you running specifically? I have no clue what the last radio I flashed was, but my connection speed S.U.C.K.S.!!! I also drop data all the time.

FWIW, I started having problems with this ROM after using it since February. The screen was extremely laggy, slow, I was dropping data, etc.. Then Google Voice started going wacky on me. After wiping and reflashing I think I'm alright, except data still sucks. So if anyone can suggest a good radio for me to flash, let me know, because I'm really fed up with this crap this phone has been giving me in the past couple months. Thanks!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Moisesm:
This is what I'm on right now.. so no one else phone getting to hot with this rom
