loveboatcaptain if you allow me I have an idea: Seeing that many ppl are trying to delete components inside rom at next release you could add your widgets and others programs like addons and leave rom as clean as possible. (don`t hate me pls if you don`t like my idea :o)

Yes full wipe then use titanium to restore apps but not system setting.

I try full wipe.again tonight thanks for the reply.
[HTC Desire S] JasonTJC:
Sorry noob question , flashing radio will affect the in-built kernel?

no right?

Thanks in Advance
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
test it before you use titanium....this time round.

How can I use the automatic battery calibration script? does it runs automatically after flashing the ROM.

I actually felt the battery draining every night when I goes to sleep. I have my phone charged at 78% at night around 1am.. but when I woke up at 8am, the battery goes to 25%. I'm not sure why, I made a full restart before I goes to sleep and make sure nothing is running on the background. Any ideas ?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I believe that you should charge your devices to 100% and then restart it on the reboot of charged to max it should automatically remove the battery statistics
[HTC Desire S] XZ32:
Battery life is really great on this Rom!

Still got 27% left after 2days, 4hrs and 27mins lol! (wifi on, mobile on, browsing, angry birds, music, ...)

So loving my DS right now!

Tnx lbc!

Seems that the random shutdown in pocket still happens to me after wiping everything including the SD card.

It's not so severe but i totally have no clue what caused it to happen only in my pocket. :confused:

When using it, it's perfectly stable like stock with no FCs or reboot at all.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
That's a bugger...:mad: Did you format all the partitions as opposed to just wipe them?

Something that we've not considered, is what else do you have in your pockets? have you considered changing your trousers? :D

You could consider putting it back to s-on and then sending it back in under warranty? in the hope that they just replace the mother board and that resolves the problem?

Done everything is fine now all buttons is working now. Thanks for your info.

Yeah i format all and then format sd by mounting through 4EXT.

Lol i have nothing in my left pocket except my handkerchief. :D

I'm gonna see how it goes with 0.6.0. Then i'll try with stock.

If it still happens, no choice but to send it back to HTC then. :(

can anyone of you install currentwidget and check the power consumption when the phone's under standby?thanks :)

i was free from taht problem ,before i installed a lot of apps.normally i have around 16mA,but now around 70-90mA.sometimes the problem disappear by disabling wift and other things then reenable it.

now wiped the rom and trying to see what's the problem.anyway,my friend on hd2(android) has usage like around 1-2 mA under sandby.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Let me know if you discover the cause of the problem, sounds similar to the problem that I'm facing, what version of the Radio are you using?
[HTC Desire S] tcchuin:
i reflashed the rom and the problem's gone.so im sure it must be software issue,mind sharing what apps you installed?or try installing betterbatterystats from xda,and check what is causing wakelocks..

try disabling wifi ,then put your phone to sleep,and reenable it after awhile.see if you still have the problem..thanks:)
[HTC Desire S] jorgen2009:
WIFI was the problem for me too. Rebooting the phone with enabled WIFI somehow ignores the WIFI performance setting. Allthough it looks disabled in the settings after a reboot, I believe it is in fact enabled. The phone pulls about 40 mA after a reboot. Disabling and immediately enabling WIFI again reduces the drain to ca. 10 mA for me.

I think it's a ROM issue, it only happens to me using SAGA LBC MOD 0.54, it didn't occure to me using Vituous Unity 1.29. In short disable and enable WIFI should do the trick after a reboot

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] tcchuin:
hope LBC can take this problem seriously and fix it in v0.6:)

I install this rom and it's great but i got a problem with wifi signal it is poor

i am in a same room with router and i got 2 and 3 point ?

is that ok ?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Never experienced weak signal like that, what radio are you using?

I was complaining of excessive battery consumption when using wi fi, which only happens sometimes and never used to!
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i just noticed that i also have the wifi power drain some time,i am still not sure when i thought that setting wifi performance to off solved it but unfortunately it didnt

the workaround on the other thread seems to work for sometime then the drain is back
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
In a way I'm glad that its not just me (sorry), I wonder how long this has been there and simply not been noticed. :confused:

I'm hoping that LBC v0.6.0 with the new updated stock base will remove the problem.....we'll have to wait and see .;)
[HTC Desire S] hassan1990:
i get back to stock rom never mind >:cool:
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Occasional Excessive Battery Consumption sleeping (wi-fi related?)

I've noticed that sometimes just toggling the wi-fi connection removes the battery drain, but, annoyingly other times it doesn't, so I'm now using the application Fast Reboot from the market, which basically stops and then restarts all of the core running processes, using this in conjunction with wi-fi toggling has proven to always clear the battery drain. This application is obviously safer than a full device restart and in itself consumes less battery power.

Note: Care should be taken not to select the Hot Restart option from within the Advanced power Menu on LBC ROM as it hangs device requiring battery pull to resolve.

I'm now able to get -5ma battery drain without wi-fi enabled (which is the best I've ever seen) and -6 to -7ma with wi-fi enabled when the device is sleeping (without Auto Sync enabled).

So it would appear that one or more of the running processes (possibly in conjunction with wi-fi) is causing this problem, since all of us are witnessing this problem occasionally it's more likely to be one of the stock (LBC) components rather than a third party application. I also proved this at the weekend when I re-flashed base LBC ROM with no apps installed (without even a google account configured) and still encountered the battery drain problem within this thread
[HTC Desire S] tcchuin:
When I use the hot restart option, my device doesn't hang. Anyway, I'm on virtuous_unity and still face this problem seldom.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Thanks for your input, which suggest that this is a HTC STOCK issue rather than a custom ROM related one, which is sort of what we'd concluded. :)

As for your hot restart works! :( that's why i said LBC ROM :rolleyes: the comment was meant as a warning to LBC ROM users only as this is the LBC thread, this feature used to work on previous LBC versions its just doesn't now and is dangerous. :(
[HTC Desire S] tcchuin:
anyway,i never managed to achieve power consumption under 14mA.the readings are much higher when im on airplane mode...what could be the reason that some people can have like 5mA while the best i can get is 14ma?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
6-7ma wow I never got anything below 11ma on stock,LBC ROM or virtuous unity ROM before

Have you gotten such values before using this app?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Just to ensure that we're comparing like with like, these -5Ma results were obtained using Battery Monitor Widget the best that I ever saw previously with Current Widget was -10Ma.

These low figures are obtained with most things switched off (wi-fi, mobile data, auto sync. Wi-fi can sometimes be enabled and only increase usage to -6Ma). I appreciate that this is not normal phone use, but, necessary while attempting to identify the source of the battery drain. I'm also using the latest Radio version, see signature.

I agree that there is a problem with Air plane mode as when enabled both widgets report stupidly high figures compared to what would be expected.

I've attached the ZIP'd version of the battery_hitsory.txt from the last few days.
[HTC Desire S] vankox:
I'm also getting an intense battery drain. I've had this rom for about under an hour or so and I watched the battery go from 94% to 73% with only Wifi on and average screen brightness. Should also mention I've got a Mugen 1800maH Battery.

It'll be awesome if you could implement an option or addon to swipe down anywhere on the homescreen to drag down the notification drawer...like on ADW Launcher. If there's anything I like about that launcher it'll be that.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
When using the device, (ie screen on) you should expect battery drain as the screen is battery hungry, the posts above are specifically about battery drain when the device is sleeping (screen off).

I'd suggest that you install a main homepage battery monitor widget (as mentioned above) and keep an eye on the consumption and then consider bouncing wi-fi or using the fast reboot application mentioned to see if you see improvements.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i am also using battery moniter widget & on airplane mode i have never got anything below -11ma on any ROM,i was wondering if the problem could be kernel based as i had the problem on virtuous unity also
[HTC Desire S] vankox:
I understand. I'm still fresh so my input wouldn't be as valid. I'll stick with this ROM (my favorite so far coming form Virtuous Unity!)

I'll report back in a few days. :)

Are the OC settings pre-set or am I ok to run SetCPU?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
this ROM has virtuous overclocking daemon by rmk40 included

so if you use setcpu the overclocking daemon will be automatically disabled

so if you want to change the default value(1ghz) refer this post :)
[HTC Desire S] vankox:
Awesome. What benefits does the daemon have over setcpu? I want to use setcpu out of the sheer ease of use but reading that post leads me to believe that virtuous oc is a better choice.

Ps. Battery is getting chewed up at an alarming rate.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
As I said earlier if you use the phone unfortunately the battery will be eaten fast!! ;)

It might be worth you re-calibrating your battery as you have a 1800 battery, there is auto calibration built into this ROM, so simply charge your device to 100% (green light) and then restart the device and the re-calibration will occur automatically - all done. :D
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
the battery consumption will settle down after the ROM is done setting up thing give it a day or so

it looks very difficult to overclock using daemon but it isn't all you need is es explorer or a similar app
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Even though you can O/C which may be of use if you intend to play CPU intensive games, I find the device fast enough with the default settings, also you have to consider than any O/C will simply burn more battery.
[HTC Desire S] vankox:
True. I've changed the max value for wake to 1200mhz. I'll see if it makes much of a difference. This kernel allows for Oc'ing up to 1700, but I remember reading somewhere on the Desire S forum that you should never OC it that high and that 1400 is the safest for the average user. Is there any truth in this?

In terms of battery, I can't really comment yet. I'm going to give it a few more days for everything to settle down as @kartkk as stated. But so far, screen off is great. But as soon as the screen comes on the percentage drops roughly 1% per minute or two. I'm pretty sure Wifi is the culprit as the rapid depletion took full effect when I got home (I turn wifi off when I'm at uni). Going to try it with mobile network tomorrow.

Just a minute ago I shut down the battery to switch sim cards and apparently it takes 10% of battery life to do that :confused:
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
I wanted to try Weather Lock Screen but is not refreshing. Internet on, background on, sync on and still not refreshing. Anyone got this problem ?
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i stopped monitoring my battery after i switched form stock ROM as i can easily get through a day or two on custom ROMs

but back in stock ROM i lost around 1% every 2 minutes so i guess its about right

i remember reading on the DHD forum that 1.5ghz is also quite stable,but i don't think oc over 1.2ghz is needed as its mainly for the ui smoothness & browsing

oc does not affect gaming much as gaming is much more dependent on the GPU
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
Someone was asking how to remove hot restart from advanced restart menu because the phone is hanging when using that option (including myself and I have to restart phone using hard keys).

1. That option is present in com/android/internal/policy/impl/GlobalActions$SinglePressAction.smali

2. To have access to that option go in your ROM/system/framework/android.policy.jar

3. Extract classes.dex from file.

4. Use baksmali to decompile classes.dex. I`m using AutoSmali 1.0 from HERE

5. Use a text editor to edit GlobalActions$SinglePressAction.smali.

6. Hot Restart is present in const/4 v1, 0x1

const-string v2, "Hot restart"

aput-object v2, v0, v1

Now I`m not sure what to do next. Is enough to delete that strings? If yes here is the edited file: View attachment 676952 (you have to unrar it first to use, is not flashable) - IS NOT TESTED BY ME I ONLY MADE IT
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I was keen to get that option removed as the danger of removing the battery is re enforced each day when I read of bricked devices

Did you try this file on your own device? Did it work?
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
no I didn`t I`m still waiting an official answer about this. I have made an update that is not tested to not confuse ppl. :P

Regarding

any answers pls?
[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
this problem is related to the ENG S-Off Bootloader. If you have S-Off´ed your phone with XTC-Clip you can change back to stock SHIP Bootloader without loosing S-Off.

I´ve done that for myself and didn´t have problems with "Hot Reboot" from advanced reboot option menu.

my wifes phone isn´t S-Off´ed with XTC-Clip. It uses the AlphaRev Bootloader and there are no Issues with "Hot Reboot".

i will not exclude this setting, cause i would not suggest to use ENG Bootloader. My 2 cents ;) i like my PG88IMG.zip file collection on sdcard and i don´t use fastboot to flash stuff to my phone. so it´s the better choise.

[HTC Desire S] loveboatcaptain:
@ all

heyho... seems that you all are enjoying this post.

thanks for giving so much feedback. i read every post here and in the general section concerning the battery drain issue. i figured out that i can reproduce the issue with that wifi toggle thing. very strange. it could be kernel related, cause i never touched wifi drivers or modules.

in the past i used older kernel mod´s of mdeejay. perhaps there was a version which works better in the past. i can´t remember.

i found out that there is a reconnect issue with unity v2 too. wifi didn´t reconnect correctly after rebooting or comming from standby. this problem isn´t there on HTC Stock Kernel. running this kernel for some days now and the drain issue seems to be gone too.

can someone confirm this?

thank you all for helping me investigate on that issue.

to give you some details on current development:

i´m running the first test versions of the newest build and included some of the tweaks already.

this beta runns with stock kernel for now until everythings finished. perhaps we wil have a new kernel until than.

progress is very slow, cause my job is killing me right know. 6 days a week, 10-12h a day. family is much more importent to me right now. hope you understand that.

next week will be hardcore too, but after that i have some days off... little holidays at home, enjoying time with my son and with android.

in that time i will have a clear mind and time to build everything like i want it.

the newest version will be modular... that means the base rom is totally stock (means no additional or replaced apps, just tweaks, a little ui stuff, multilanguage etc.) the rest will be available as add-ons, means one add-on for sense 3 lockscreen, sms app, weather, usb manager, notification menu, all that sense 3 stuff you know from 0.5.x AND one add on for sense 3D Launcher and widgets.

first tests are working ;-)

so... now you are informed that i´m still alive and still working on that project.

if someone is able to build a fix for the battery drain issue, please let me know. than i can build another service update until the rebuild is finished and push it via rommanager

regards and good night
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
"wifi didn´t reconnect correctly after rebooting or comming from standby" - after many restarts I never had that issue :|

"the newest version will be modular... that means the base rom is totally stock (means no additional or replaced apps, just tweaks, a little ui stuff, multilanguage etc.) the rest will be available as add-ons" - 10+ for that

regarding battery issue... after 21h I have 91% of battery with tap tap app on, used some wifi, some data/calls/update .apk`s. like I never had that wifi grip maybe this battery drain is random? :|
[HTC Desire S] nodeffect:
Hey loveboatcaptain, first of all, I wanna say thanks a lot for your great ROM, it really is good. I've been using it for a month now and all I can say is just a little more improvements will be great.

Problems that I've encounter:

1. Battery drain. I used battery monitor widget to monitor my battery usage, even on standby mode, it goes -30ma. and sometimes when I turn on my phone I can see -124ma. I guess this problem is random since some people here says theirs are around -5ma? I'm not sure what cause it, but if the next version could fix this will be great.

2. Just a little laggy. When scrolling between screens or the drawers, I can feel the lag. But after a while it runs smoothly again. It's like taking some time to load things up, but it takes quite a long time.

Everything else is good, no wifi disconnect problem or what so ever. Everything is just basically working, from bluetooth to GPS, all are fine. Overall it is quite a stable ROM. Love the sense 3.0 on the lockscreen and all. It is almost perfect! Keep up the good work man!

Using v0.5.4.
[HTC Desire S] vankox:
My average consumption is 73mA, sometimes going up to 140mA. Lowest I've seen is 63mA. Is this bad?

I'm using SetCPU for it's ease of configuration and have set the profiles and everything. Normal CPU is set to max 1000MHz.

I feel like its such a waste to not take advantage of the OC capabilities, yet battery is such a *****. I calibrated it last night, but I'm going to give it a few more days to adjust.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
yeah there seems to be a little battery drain issue with the current version of LBC mod

normally you should get mostly 10-13ma on standby

@nodeffect your screen on drain seems ok,i have gotten upto 190ma
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
That does seem excessively high, although be aware that were talking about the sleeping battery usage (ie machine idle with screen off and no auto sync), I'd say, restart phone and then ensure you use battery monitor widget and review the log file after a reasonable length of time >10 mins.

it could easily be rogue software do don't panic just yet
[HTC Desire S] bozzo70:
Hi.

Is it possible to change the lockscreener to old one 2.1 ?
[HTC Desire S] vankox:
Download Widgetlocker from the Market. That has the Sense 2.1 lock among other nifty features as well.

@kartkk & @ben_pyett it seems I may have given a preliminary report. I'm glad to say everything has settled down to a seemingly comfortable 11-24mA on standby. Screen off with the assistance of SetCPU seems to be working its magic saving an incredible amount of battery life. Although, I know this seems repetitive and I apologise, as soon as the screen comes on... well you know, there goes 3% within a few minutes.

However, I trust Mr. Loveboat for a resolution as everything else about this ROM seems just perfect (no quite a fan of the Sense 3 homescreen 3D scrolling).

I'm not 100% sure if this is an issue with my phone or the ROM, but is anyone else's WIFI signal lacking? I have another Desire S which gets full bars when side by side with my LBC installed one which only gets 1-2 bars on average...unless I offer it to the gods, then theres a slight increase.

Update: OK I just got back from a drive. Hate to report that my GPS isn't working, meaning Maps and Navigation is rendered semi useless. It can only pick up my rough cell location from the mobile network rather than the GPS. Navigation constantly searches for a GPS signal.

This is quite critical as I use Navigation quite often, and if it doesn't work then I have no choice but to switch ROMS :(
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
Have you tried GPS Fix or other similar tools?

From my observation, the battery does stay at the same percentage for a long time when idling. When you start using it again, it drops faster to catch up.

Maybe try looking at voltage reading instead. What i noticed, usually at 90% charging, the voltage already maxed out at 4.2V. After rebooting to calibrate the battery reading, the voltage drops to 4.1V while still staying at 100%.
[HTC Desire S] vankox:
My max reading has always been a little less than 4.2V, I don't think its ever been 4.2 acutally.

Yes I've tried GPS Fix but to no avail :(
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You clearly aren't looking correctly as normally as the battery drains the voltage decreases.
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
Interesting thing about the battery, i read that the minimum safe voltage for it to be able to charge back is 3V. So i took a peek at SystemPanel when the battery is at 1%, the voltage reads around 3.5V. So i think it's perfectly safe to use it until it turns off by itself.

I'm just wondering why they don't let us use the battery until 3.2V. Would make perfect sense to measure 1V = 100% compared to 0.7V = 100%.

Not sure if what i'm mumbling above is right lol. :D

Anyway, i flashed the 28i radio and i still have the weird shutdown in pocket problem. So now i'm trying the stock kernel and see if there's any difference. :)

edit: Suddenly i seem to be getting better reception. Using 2G most of the time and Open Signal Maps widget. I know there's a bunch of towers around me but before this it's usually around -90dBm which is around 2-3 bars. But now i'm getting -83dBm which is full bar. :eek:
