Hi, Just for tracking purposes:

I am on Maniacs nightly build and it is absolutely fantastic. GPS works... wifi konks out from time to time but no big deal.

The bugs i found so far:

* Battery drop from 32%-> 19% (i think this is noted already)

* Wifi calling app (Kineto) has an echo for reciever caller

---

I noticed other nightly builds have included the wifi calling app, does this behavior also occur there?

Anything i can do to help with the debugging of this issue?

Thanks all.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
Almost for sure yes.

If you don't know the actual code, not really at the moment. I am pretty sure it's not an audio problem (as it happens with headset as well), so likely it's some network problem, e.g. MTU size. Unfortunately I lack sufficient Kineto experience (and the ability to test things) to properly debug such details.

If you have any concrete idea and/or link that discusses that kind of issue, please let me know.

Battery drop 33%-->19%

Hi guys,

I didn't believe when people said they have battery drop from 33-->19 but now after I installed latest White Rabbit 1.5 based on CM7 Kang 14.04 I have the same problem :(

I used to have drops from 54%-->49% and from 26-->19 but now I have one drop from 33-->19 and don't have around 54 anymore (or not yet :D )

What is cosing this problem? Please don't say that I have to calibrate the ROM, cause I did that :(

Thnx...

Defy Battery Issue

but there is no solution at the moment :(
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
Have you checked to see if the voltage also drops? I believe this is merely a percentage indication issue, not a drop in voltage. Remember that our phone wasn't designed to show 1% steps. It was a patch.

I'll plot a graph on my next discharge cycle to check the voltage drop.

Suggest the same, had such drain only once, then I used CM9 and now CM7 nightlies, always wipe, always no additional fixes, no strange battery drain

If someone tests, please post any changes you notice!
[Defy Android Development] Proda:
I know and it's frustrating :-(

Will check voltage, but as I remember from previos observations voltage doesn't change a lot. Voltage even jumps on higher value after drop, or became slightly bigger at 32% and then fell down when indicator shows 19% but then it is still higher than on 33%. Same as plots from post under yours. And that is really strange :/

Well not that old. One year I would say. I would buy new battery but I just can't find official Motorola battery in Serbia and it's too expensive and unsecure if I order it via Amazon because of beautifull Serbian Customs :-(

Well I guess Im stuck with this battery drop until I go to visit Germany or UK where I could buy original battery :-(
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
There are many libs and modules related to the cam, so it won't be easy to completely get it as it is in the latest nightly builds. But I believe that you could start by replacing at least these three files [and set their permissions/owner]:

/system/app/Camera.apk
/system/lib/hw/overlay.omap3.so
/system/etc/media_profiles.xml

and see how it goes from there...

I got 8 months with cellphone and i think it's not the battery 'cause since 7.2 came i seem that drops
[Defy Android Development] Speedmatze:
This problem comes and goes...

I had it for some time and it disappered for no apparent reason. I've now been on the same ROM for almost 3 weeks (maniacs 2803) and have been observing that battery life got steadier over time. I now get consistently around 4-4,5 days of moderate use out of a charge and see no drops anymore (which were there after the last update).

So I'm guessing frequent Nightly/ROM updates might mess things up a bit. Battery and flash-addiction don't match to well... ;)
[Defy Android Development] Maki-taro:
Is not a battery problem!!

Seeing in that examples you can notice that the "%" drops but the mV keeps discharging well. so it is a medition problem not a battery problem.

So it is only a "ghost battery drop"
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
I also encounter the drops regularly.

what i've noticed is that when it happens while watching Youtube and like (through the browser, not APK) , it may

lead to phone freeze.

also, while also in my logs i see no mV drop, it may be that it's a momentary drop that isn't caught (cuz log reads every few minutes )

only thing i think of is to right mV reading the moment the Percentage changes.. yet, it's a long shot.

in order to normalize the percentage, we can gather a lot of battery readings and match a simple formula to convert mV to battery percentage .

[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
Did you do a wipe in stock recovery before flashing the sbf?

If not, then boot into Stock Recovery (power + vol down) and do "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache". The flash the sbf again.
[Defy Android Development] YahsCE:
But how to do it because when the sbf was flashed, 2nd init was uninstalled??
[Defy Android Development] twa_priv:
You need to wipe in Stock (Motorola) recovery, which is always there.

Shutdown the phone and then:

power + vol down

then push volume up and down at the same time

Interesting battery drop issue

Hi,

there are some posts on battery drain in CM7 and CM9 threads, which I never experienced. Till yesterday.

For example two previous days I was on wifi, when at home and 3G net when outside, with my skype always on. My procedure was:

1. turn off wifi

2. turn on 3G mobile data

or opposite

and battery usage was only 60% in 48 hours.

Ok, yesterday I was not so precise, I was turning on 3G data when wifi was still on, then switching it off and vice versa.

The result was:

1. battery drain: 81 % in 10 hours

2. losing several times my network, only switch off and then on could repair it, reboot not

Today I am precise ;-) again and again battery life looks great.

Maybe coincidence, maybe we shall be precise

Maybe someone else could check it or have similar experience?

Edited: 'My' battery bug still works for me. Made tests yesterday, turning both wifi and 3G and moving through the city, loosing and gaining wifi signal - battery drop 70 % in 5 hours, once loosing totally mobile network - had to turn off and on to have it back. Then fully charged, only wifi on, 10% in 8 hours.
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
[I'm quoting you but my comment is a general one - not only addressed to you]

Battery drops are nothing but recent or strictly related to 7.2.

Look at the pic attached which I've posted a long time ago back in June last year -some 10 months ago- back at the RC0 time or so...

Nevertheless, they are annoying and I've tried every trick to get rid of them without any luck. :(

I think that the best thing to do is to just live with them, use your phone and recharge it when it needs to...

BTW -off-topic-: if like me you do not like the latest Play Store version [seeing all the apps that you've ever installed] and would prefer to use v3.4.7 [and a transparent one that is :)] go check my last post on Pendo's thread. I've modified pendo's great work so that it doesn't auto-update to the latest Play Store (v3.5.16).

Cheers.

Edit:

In fact, the first time I had the 'out of internal memory error' was when the Market got updated to 3.5.15 about a month ago. And although some are pointing towards Flash as a potential cause, I know that some have also reported that 3.5.15 and 3.5.16 Play Store versions create problems with Market links [and Titanium Backup for that matter]. I know that with 3.5.16, I do see less installed apps than with 3.4.7 here. So who knows! this "might" be related or the cause of that; so one more reason to stick with 3.4.7...

It is a normal battery problem. Motorola replaced my battery. (germany) Battery was 11 month old.

Launcher pro in cm7

Hi people!

I using the cm7 with launcher pro plus.

The question is:

When I install a theme in themem chooser from cm7 the icons in the drawer don't change. Why this happening?

and when i change to adw launcher the icons are changed?

Is it normal ? there is a way to change this?

thanks!
[Defy Android Development] corrinti:
Do not take it personal but I do not agree in some points, so for clarification.

First battery drop problem is very popular on WIUI nad CM9 forums, both green and red defys, standard and plus. It might be a battery problem, as walter79 wrote, it might also be a common bug, as I wrote in my previous post.

Next is PlayStore 3.5.16. It has two folders in MyApps: currently installed and second with all you have ever installed, i.e. you have a choice, and previous version did not give such choice, only all.

And last about internal memory problem which occured some days ago for many users. It was caused by tombstone file - so the answer would be: which app crashed and caused creation of that file. If that was a PlayStore than it would be, most probably, much more common.

Unfortunately I did not check the file, just deleted it - mea culpa (it was 602 MB, so please, leave me alive)
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
You're totally free to disagree with my comments and I'm not forcing anyone to take my words for gospel ;)

All I said about the battery is that it was not only a recent thing (or related to CM7.2 like the person I've quoted was implying) because some users [me among them] were experiencing this 10 months ago with relatively new batteries and older CM revision. The fact that people talk more about it now is just due to the ever increasing number of Defy users all models included. So I don't see where we disagree here really....

Well, it's a personal preference, but I do not like to see neither of these options from the PlayStore on my phone; I do not want to see (one or two) list of all apps I've ever installed on my phone.

Google has changed the way the PlayStore updates itself automatically and the old trick of deleting/freezing the MarketUpdater.apk from /system/app do not work anymore. I've found that there is a way around it and that it involves modifying a smali file within the Vending.apk -> which I did and shared it with everyone here that would also like to stay on v3.4.7. Was I wrong to do so? :confused:

I know all this and I do agree that if it would be only related to the PlayStore, it would have been publicized greatly. That's why I wrote this "might" (with the """") because it could be more complicated than that -I know. I was just suggesting that it "could" be an issue with the PlayStore mixed with a backup programs but yes I can be wrong and it is most likely a totally different problem; that was just a wild guess based upon how and when the problem happened for me... Although, I do think that this was a fairly common problem and it have been reported everywhere only some days ago for some; a month ago for me [see date of pic]...

And lastly, I read in at least 3 or 4 different places (I can add links later or do a search on this if you don't believe me...) that the last 2 PlayStore versions (3.5.15 and 3.5.16) are causing problems with market links creation (and one was on the Titanium Backup app page on the PlayStore itself at the time). This might have been corrected since, but it's still another valid thing to consider in your choice of which Vending.apk to use I believe...

I hope that I did not anything to your health and that you're still alive ;) but really, I still do not see where we disagree so much...

Edit: well, we can't see the date the screenshot was taken, but I can tell you: it was March21st.
[Defy Android Development] YahsCE:
don't worry... As my post said .. I think might be 7.2 but i also said that the problem might be the battery, but well... the only reason to know is someone that have drops and change his battery and see what happens

Hello, I have Red lense Bayer module in old Defy. I wan't to try the best-performance CM7 so that would be GB kernel. Which CM7 for GB is the best? I installed cm72-20120416-NIGHTLY-Defy+ but it was laggy and there was question mark on the battery ! So, which CM7 on GB is best for old Defy, and how to avoid this battery problem? I had to quit this ROM asap :P
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Greetings! Although I haven't posted here for quite a while I still follow all the threads for CM7 & CM9 here, staying with CM7 for the time being since CM9 is far from being an everyday ROM for my standards.

Since CM7 builds for the very first DEFY model with the green lens are sparse from the devs these days I tried the Euroskank builds in 2 different occasions. The first time I tried, I got a warning about my free space, reverted back to maniac's build, no issues. The second time just 3 days ago, started having random reboots. Reverted back to maniac's latest, no issues again. I don't know what the fellows who compile these builds did but it doesn't seem to agree with my DEFY. Maniac's and Epsylon's builds work best for me and are rock stable.
[Defy Android Development] Sigray:
True. Im using maniac's build instead the euroskank roms too. Much better for me.

The only missing thing the torch on the lockscreen ;)
[Defy Android Development] Hider141:
I think that the question mark was because you didn't change the file/files inside "/data/battd/" with the ones for Defy MB 525, and that's why your battery didn't get recognised.

I haven't used CM7 in awhile, but back in the days CM7.2 with Froyo kernel (the version that works with either SoC or Bayer camera) was pretty fast, even with the default CM7 CPU settings. I would recommend you to try the Froyo CM7.2 and see if you like it or not.
[Defy Android Development] corrinti:
I've tried many ROMS and the best for me is last nightly you mentioned - it is not laggy at all, acc. to me is the fastest. Have you done all wipes as in instructions? I do it every time I change the ROM and never had any problems.

And batt fix as above mentioned.
[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
That's the flash player issue mentioned above. I got it (once) on my builds as well, it also happens on stock ROMs.

I'm guilty of that as well ;)

I just didn't publish a build with that patch. But that's a side effect of just cherry picking from the review system.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
Oh damn. I guess then it was my luck to pick all the wrong builds!

Baseband changes

@maniac103 - I saw some changes recently relating to the baseband switcher.

This makes me a little nervous as I've been using a zip with files taken my stock froyo /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default folder in it whenever I flash a new build, as BBS 4 does not have SEA18's baseband in it.

Will this change affect where the baseband files are stored, or can I continue to flash my baseband zip with new builds?

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] wskelly:
Maniac, I've been playing with the Euro builds, started having the random reboots, and just yesterday went to the latest official nightly for Defy CM7.

Here is a simpler test to compare screen response time and smoothness (subjectively):

Go to your home screen, place your finger in the center, and then SLOWLY drag left or right. Three latest official nightly will jerkily slide the icons to follow your finger... Euro builds are very responsive to this test and the rest of the system animations follow suit.

However, as you've mentioned, there have been stability concerns lately, and ... Yeah, in general you're out of luck for support:

There does not seem to be a public repository for Euro builds... they are cherry picks, compiled, and that's it. Is this a true statement?

Still, I keep going back to the Euro builds, I like the speed and responsiveness, and I like the ICS font. :)

I would love to track down the reason for the response time improvement from the Euro builds.
[Defy Android Development] ccav2000:
The latest Euroskank build seems fixed, incorporated maniac103's fix obviously.
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:

[Defy Android Development] maniac103:
You will be able to continue to do it.

A better solution though is to send me a PM with baseband + SBF version string, so I can integrate it ;)

My changes are just to get rid of the closed source baseband switcher app and its ugly UI, I intend to keep the actual storage place compatible.
