Try to change baseband use baseband switcher...Goodluck.
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
I also loose about 15% overnight (in about 7 to 8 hours) which seems quite a lot.

I might be missing something - but what does switching the baseband have to do with battery consumption?

Thanks
[Defy Android Development] xanadu:
My Defy's battery drain is ~0,5%/hour by night. On 2G, wifi and sync on.
[Defy Android Development] Scotty83:
thanks for a quick reply but I have already changed the band using baseband switcher.selected the one with indias name in it.
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
the ROM is set to a default baseband group...& if your baseband is not in that group,your phone will have difficulty getting the signal & will keep pushing to get it...then will drain the battery faster than normal.;)
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
its not enough to just choose the one w/ your country on it...

im on SEA,but im using a UK baseband...

try to use another one in the group of 850/2100 until you get the figure posted by xanadu.
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
My baseband is already set to the proper US - TMobile (US T-Mobile 3.4.2-107-9) one. At least I think so because it seems I always have a proper 3G a signal.

One more remark though:

I setup my defy without a valid sim card for a few days (was using another one during that time) and with this non-activated sim card my batter lasted 5 days with minimal use. I then had only 1 to 2 % battary usage overnight.

Is this normal?
[Defy Android Development] TimelesslyPrecise:
This sounds accurate..

the defy's sister phone, bravo, used to give me issues all the time... This one short of displays similar behavior.. :/

It's all good, if I need to write data, I'll use an usb card reader our something else, other than relying on the phone got transfers.

QUOTE=mineIsAlreadyTaken;16518088]I still think this is a problem of the DEFY, not the cards :mad:I was using an A-Data 8GB Class 6 in my prevoius phone (Samsung i7500 Galaxy, AOSP + CM7) and it

worked fine

there for over a year. The DEFY went crazy with that card, freezing every now and then, unable to unlock (only buttons would light up), pulling the battery many times a day. So I decided to buy a new card, this one is a Team 8GB Class 10, which solved the problems .. well almost. Every now and then the SDCard gets mounted in read-only and I have to remount in r/w via Root Explorer. It's not that bad and only happens once in a day or two days. Mind you the Team card is no knock-off, it has read speeds of around 23MB/s and write speeds in excess of 14MB/s (in the phone, not in a card reader)!

The fact that my old card works fine in another Android CM7 mobile phone makes me think it is definitely a problem with the DEFY, not the card itself.[/QUOTE]
[Defy Android Development] TimelesslyPrecise:
Well, yeah... Seeing as the network had no real need to communicate with an inactive sim all too often, you gained more battery life.. :)

this is old known issues on defy.

yes, i got same situation,

my previous phone, a samsung galaxy phone, works fine with my class-8 sdcard.

but on defy, is a HUGE problem for using it.

just do no use class > 4 sd card.

you will get many many many many many many many freezes.

even on stock froyo.

maybe a froyos kernel related (defy cm7 using froyo kernel though).

Does anybody know when the next version of the CyanogenMod 7 will be released?
[Defy Android Development] motobird:
hi,

after using the stock rom for 9 months i've upgraded to cm7 (110808-0622-NIGHTLY + gapps-gb-20110729 on cee froyo base), and it's just fantastic!

my only problem is disconnecting wifi. transfer is super fast when connected (way faster than froyo) but after a minute it simply disconnects.

router is ddwrt in n mode, wpa2 psk and static dhcp is used. same setup with moto 2.1 and 2.2.2 worked without any problems since last november.

i searched this thread and found some workaround for wifi disconnects but it did not help. i tried to change router mode to b/g mixed, but it did not help either.

my logcat is attached (switching wifi on with status bar widget > nothing happens for 30 sec > connecting > connected for 1 min and disconnect > reconnecting).

any help would be highly appreciated!

edit:

oh and i skipped "restore binaries from rc0" workaround step because didn't know what files it's about and others managed to fix wifi without it.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
simple:
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
haha.. it's okay i'm joking though.

(that widget is a joke too, from cm7 dev team)

i think it will be released when it has big change logs from previous one.

the latest official cyanogenmod 7 for defy is RC1 v2.

we just don't know when RC2 is released, it's up to Quarx, Epsylon3, and maniac.

when it's ready, it will be released..

why don't you try nightly build?

it released almost EVERYDAY..

with new feature, bug fixing, and some experimental things.

because I use my Defy (and most of it's features) every day and I don't want to risk using an unstable or buggy version (so that a certain feature may fail me at a time I need it most or the phone might become too laggy to use at some point)...if there is a nightly version that is stable please let me know
[Defy Android Development] one2wan:
Hi,

If it can help, I don't know... :

Flashed my Defy with CM7 since about 1.5 months. RCO, nightlies, RC1, nightlies, RC1v2, nightlies, kernel, modules, nightlies, kernel, kernel, nightlies, ...

Always happy with this amazing ROM !!! Big thanks to Quarx, Epsylon and community !

But always this $!##@!! battery drain !

So on 110808, I decided to test the GB kernel 179-6-1 (to replace 179-2). I took boot and devtree from official SBF and put them into cm7-110729-0115-BOOT179-Jordan.zip, then applied zip via recovery.

Now, I'm on 110809-0713 and have no problems, all works fine, never FC and especially, the battery drain seems to have disappeared (for info, my baseband is the french 164) !

I'm going to test battery consumption during one week (holidays) and will give you my results.:cool:

PS before someone asks me : no bootmenu overclocking/undervolting problem with 179-6-1
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
@one2wan

Very interesting ... I might try that also.

How much battery drain did you have and how much better is it now? Me for exampe, I loose about 15 to 20 % overnight.
[Defy Android Development] hailmary:
@one2wan....

can you upload it ( GB kernel 179-6-1) in zip format...we would love to try that too,thanks
[Defy Android Development] one2wan:
Before, I lost about 15% by night but I don't want to give you percentage since 179-6-1 flash because the last 2 days, I did a lot of manipulations on my Defy : apps install/uninstall, widgets tests, UOT test in recovery with a "shifted rhythm of life" (wake up at 11:00AM , go to sleep at 04:00AM, wake up at 07:00AM, go to sleep at 11:00PM, ...).

Just : in 2 days / 2 nights, with 83% at the beginning, my Defy gives me 59% with about one hour on the whole of PC USB charging...

I'm waiting for empty battery to shutdown the phone, charge it completely and wipe batt stats. After that, I'll seriously test my battery life !

Edit : of course, I'm uploading it and will give you the link...
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Why did you need to take devtree from the GB SBF? I just compared CG61.smg (=devtree.img) of cm7-110729-0115-BOOT179-Jordan and th GB SBF and they are the same.

boot.img contains the kernel, but what's in devtree.img?

And another question: Is it really that simple to try out a different kernel but just replacing boot.img with CG35.smg from an SBF?

And I assume I easily can switch back by re-applying the original BOOT nightly, right?
[Defy Android Development] one2wan:
Link :

http://www.multiupload.com/PAZ2QLYQKB

MD5 sum : 56fbc05d4c5c93b99930e318e775d8ed

The uncompressed ZIP contains 2 files : boot.img and devtree.img

- verify MD5 sum of downloaded 179-6.1.zip

- unzip it

- download cm7-110729-0115-BOOT179-Jordan.zip on nightly server

- open it (I use 7zip) and delete boot + devtree

- add the 179-6.1 boot and devtree

- close your ZIP manager

- put new "cm7-110729-0115-BOOT179-Jordan.zip" on SD

- reboot into custom recovery

- wipe cache + Dalvik cache

- apply ZIP

- reboot

- verify new kernel into phone settings ;)

Edit :

1. Yes, it's so simple, I made it !

2. devtree.img, I don't know really but in Quarx "BOOT" nightly, it's updated, so... (logo.img, certainly not needed !)

I didn't check if the 2 devtree were the same, I prefered flash the devtree which was given with the boot !

3. Of course, you can return to old kernel after that !
[Defy Android Development] Ricardo_Is:
Sorry but you information about SD CLASS 4 isn't right.

Have a lot of friends using class 4 like me and never had freezes or r/w problems.

Class 2/4/6 working normally, 8 and 10 isn't.

You are the first SD class 8 owner running on DEFY with no problems that I find.

Bug on my CM7 110809-0713 with kernel 179-6.1 & baseband 3.4.2.164-5 : no data connection since one hour, only GSM so enormous battery drain (about 20%!, I think phone does perpetually check connections).

I'm trying the Europe centrale 3.4.x baseband, I don't think it's a kernel problem because it already arrived with others kernels (164, 177 or 179) but same baseband...
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Ok, did the same and applied a modified 110729-0115-BOOT179 (with JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-6 kernel) + latest nightly cm7-110809-0713-NIGHTLY.

Let's see if I hit a similar issue and what the battery drain is overnight...
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I've replaced the "camera.apk" and [as Quarx suggested:] the "/system/lib/libOMX.TI.Video.encoder.so" from the July 27th nightly and video cam has been fine so far.

Any nightly after that should also be fine; in fact, "touch to focus" worked better for me with 110808 nightly..

Don't forget to set permissions and ownerships before rebooting.
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
i said > 4

> means above 4.

and i never say i had no problem with 8-class.

i said, i never had a problem with my previous phone, but had a freeze problem on DEFY.

please man.. read my post again..

i don't understand why you misread it,

i wrote it fine, my grammar sucks but still it can be readed.

Hi, I only write to thank all devs and supporters for this great project, and to report my experience.

I installed CM7 RC1v2 on stock froyo Italy rom, and at the moment 2 days intensive use, i only got once a fc of launcherpro (i prefer it to ADW built in) and once fc alarm app.

My phone was already smooth and quick in response with froyo, but now is even better!

Thanks to all of you!

P.s. Small request, it will be possible to include increasing volume in the alarm features(like in the stock alarm app)? I always found it very useful...
[Defy Android Development] one2wan:
To devs :

Some apps on the market can, after a skeletal amount of time with no available data connection, power off the data connection to save battery... Can you integrate this function into CM7 parts ?
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Wrong place for such feature requests. Please go to the official CyanogenMod forums.

Only DEFY specific stuff are to be discussed here, the rest are offtopic in the stricter sense.
[Defy Android Development] one2wan:
I understand. Sorry...

That's because Defy is only listed on CyanogenMod, no data available so sometimes I think here is the only place to discuss about CM7... :D:rolleyes:
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
You are correct that this is the only place to discuss about the DEFY port of CM7, but only the DEFY specific parts. For the rest, the general Cyanogen Forum is more appropriate, since the most part of the code is from the main Cyanogen repos anyway.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Right, and the code base is way too large for the three of us to handle all of the feature requests alone.
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
Do you need some help with the framework part (java code)? I can help you.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
i think for me 512 read_ahead is worse than 2048.

i've been connecting phone to adb many times and posted the logs here, but couldn't find anything special :/

what i think of is to do the following if possible:

connect phone to adb

dump /sys/

compare with "normal" mode

maybe i find the problematic wake/screen lock.

any idea how to do it?

+i try to find a step-by-step scenario to reproduce it

i suspect it has something to do with voltage.... maybe due to reading loop from sdcard

[Defy Android Development] chab7:

If you want to help, you can just start implementing feature requests you see here ;)

My Defy with following settings experienced misc. SDcard problems:

1. CM7 2.3.4 nighty 0805

2. A-DATA 16GB Class10 SD Card

3. Voltage settings: 20/300, 30/600, 52/1000

4. Read cache size: 2048KB

SDcard problems:

1. Open Gallery3D & QuickPic will hang occasionally

2. Take photo using CM7 camera and then delete/move the photo without success

3. After doing problem 2, try to start CM7 camera again and prompt "Insert SD card"

4. Playing mp4 video about 18MB with MoboPlayer and system will restart/quit (quite often even without starting Gallery3D & CM7 camera)

5. Cannot write/delete/move files in SDcard sometimes

Search in Google and found in a post in Taiwan forum that adjusting the Voltage setting seems make the situation better. I tried in my Defy and observed for an hour and seemed the SDcard problems were gone.

My settings are changed to:

1. Voltage: 30/300, 42/600, 55/1000

2. Read cache size: 128KB

Will report the situation later!

Edit

Already 2 days with the above settings and no problem encountered.

But I did the followings before I started the test:

1. Remove Gallery3D and just use QuickPic

2. Backup data in SDCard. Format the SDCard (FAT32 and 64KB). Restore the data to SDCard.

Will change the Read cache size to 2048KB and report back later.

[Defy Android Development] racca:
this makes no sense.

porting roms from other device is deemed to be very buggy, with cm7 we at least have both the source of the kernel (from moto) and os

drivers/modules are complied against the kernel, not anything else. so exactly what makes froyosense a better choice assuming you are not an htc die hard?

ps. ms2/defy share the same kernel. in fact, ms2 source code was also released under defy catagory (strange, i know)
