raising the battery polling time also seems to cause this kind of behavior :D

mine is set to 30 seconds (samsung GB source to 10 seconds) and before it was at 1 second

the day before yesterday it jumped from 25 to 12 % and after some time back to 24% :p [without the changes from Samsung]

so don't take the battery gauge too seriously

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eagle06:
So no need of odin if we have 2.2 bootloaders and cwm 2.5 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
No need of Odin if you already have CM7 installed...or so I understand from what Codeworkx said. However remember that process is marked as experimental (so experimental in fact the Dev asks that you tell him if it worked or not), so use it only in dire need.

BTW, congrats on the big Broadsword win. Do you mind if I drape myself on your leg like the girl in a Boris drawing?

You do?

Nevermind then.

A new update test ? I can try it ? do an nandroid backup before ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] atinm:
Radio is one of the things we have no control over - we don't even know how to talk to it really and what Samsung hacks it has that allow it to go into low power mode. We use standard stuff, and that doesn't seem to be able to do all the things it should be able to do.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gnowak84:
It does but from my observation it may be connected with battery level. I've never experienced this bug until today when my battery went flat, it's gone at about 30% charge.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I don't think it is a matter of anyone denying it.

Yes, CM7 is harder on battery life for some of us than some Samsung ROMs, for many good reasons. Just the current flashy-flashy nature of CM7 hurts battery life, as Grimm very correctly noted.

However, it is a matter of personal choice.

If battery life is the most important element for you, if someone has a minimum number of hours of battery life they think they can get and feel they need...then CM7 is not for them right now. It may NEVER be for them if that is the case, so as I said...off you go. There is no need for them to drop in here every now and again and say "I would flash CM7 except that I can't run my phone for days at a time with it". It isn't like the world was waiting on a razor's edge for them to flash CM7.

Others of us prefer functionality over battery life, and are therefore quite happy with CM7. Sure better battery life would be keen, and is coming....but is it a deal breaker? Not even remotely for most of us.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
I NEED 24 hours of battery life. I get 28 hours. So I pretty much get functionality and battery life. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
No. I didn't come here to complain or while. I didn't 'pop' in to say why I' not using CM. I simply replied the Codeworkx after he mentioned that battery life my not be SGS only problem.

Either way, I'm a grown man and don't wish to have an argument on a forum (that is so 1999).

Tony

[EDIT] And, if battery life and stability are not the two most important factors in a mobile phone's OS - I don't know what is.

Is everyone's gallery slow? I've got lots of folders but still, it won't load them all even if i wait a year. Is there a gallery fix or something?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
i cannot really compare with a samsung rom because the last time i used one was ... uhm.... half year?

but:

- my phone is 1 year old (battery isn't fresh anymore)

- i've flashed it 1000 times

- my phone hangs every day for 6 hours at usb for adb

- no good charge cycles

- 3g is ****ty at work and phone has to switch very often

maybe i'll flash back to a samsung rom and test it for some days to get comparable results.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brujoand:
Mobile phone != smart-phone so argument is irrelevant. Smart-phones are the bastard child of a laptop who found a phone on a random party. We want internetz, speed, video, voice call and im. That comes at a cost. Battery is one. Deal with it. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cashif:
Anyone pls??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Well, as a guide

- my phone is 1 year old (battery isn't fresh anymore)

- i've flashed it ~200 times

- now good charge cycles

- 3G and 2G is ****ty EVERYWHERE in Scotland and phone has to switch very often.

As a guide, this morning I have sent 30 texts and used 2G internet for about 20 minutes. 5 hours, 19 minutes unplugged, 91% battery.

That's Darky 9.5 (so Android 2.2.1, with JVE modem). No taskiller or battery manager stuff. Connected to Gtalk.

I love the work you and the guys do, please don't see this as a complaint, but as a bug report :-)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ooohhh2:
Yeah, check out Juwe's 4.3.1 it has superior battery life, i wish somebody can combine it with cm7's speed and advantages.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Two days on Samsung ROM, 12 hours on CM. I don't see how what you're saying have any relevance...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bravoleader:
My battery experience if anyone needs it.

I'm using juice defender with sleep mode (no data) during the timeframe midnight-7am

and data disabled all the time with a sync window every 15 minutes for social stuff and email.

So, i get really high stand by life. As soon i switch on battery drains completely -.-...

Example of today, took the phone after night at 69%.

I had some massive use for 1 hour browsing xda via app, and with 1 hour and 19 mins of display use battey drained to 20%. I really do not know the cause but i'll try changing modem first...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pacoforet:
Don't go back to Samsung Stock! That **** is laggy as hell! You will regret it! Just kidding, CM7 is now having minor battery problems IMHO. I can run my phone all day long with no problems (2G, Sync On, some polling apps, everything stock CM7). If you are getting less than 12 hours, Im sure you are not doing anything to optimize battery usage.

People saying they have very bad battery life sure have 3G on, sync, max. brightness, GPS on, Bluetooth ON, aGPS on, etc... and a couple or three battery hogger apps...

Edit: 3 hours since unplugged, 7% battery drained, that gives me neraly 2 days at that ratio. If you are getting 12 hours, you are doing it wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Really? Well, as I said, it is a matter of personal preference.

Have you looked into a Nokia E71? Excellent phones. Oodles of battery life and very stable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kevin2516:
on cm7 i'm getting mostly 1 day of battery life anyway, not much difference from stock rom, and my wifi/3g/games is on most of the time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brujoand:
You phone is faster with better performance and you don't see the relevance? And giving the comparison with 12 hours to 2 days is just wrong. If you read my earlier reply, I stated that flashing rom updates every-other day with and without custom kernels will make your system unstable and use more juice.

Try a fresh install and use it for a week without flashing anything. If you still get only 12 hours with the same use that gave you 2 days on Sammy 2.2 ill eat my shorts or tell you to get your battery replaced. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] bibbo81:
I have asked here just because I've tried a lot of roms and I can have this issue only with yours, so I thought that maybe could be a problem of drivers or stuff like that.

:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
+1

I had the phone on Samsung-GB before and especially when using 3G+lots of background sync, battery life was a bit better than CM7. But I have a much nicer phone with CM7, and my battery still survives a day...(and on Samsung ROMS I also charged my phone daily).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Nope, on CM I had everything off, 2G only and I tried Juice Defender too. There does seem to be a serious issue with CM, denying it doesn't make it go away...

Problem is that, battery life is a difficult thing to diagnose. People all use their phones differently, expect different things, have different batteries, different apps etc. I would hate to try and diagnose what was causing the major drain in CM, it would be a nightmare job.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jonjon68:
Relative to usage of course but I would LOVE to get 12 hours on my phone. Didn't get it on my G1, Nexus 1, Vibrant, Galaxy S Euro, or now my Nexus S. Doesn't exist with current battery technology for some. I'm in that some category. Just use my phone too much. ROM is irrelevant typically with some exceptions, background services etc.... But 12 hours, man, I wish.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
It's the same phone. Only the ROM is different.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] titooo7:
Ok…some people is ok with 12hours of battery life, others need at least 24hours and some users report that they can even get 72hours with their_favorite_rom (and flight mode on most of the time) .

By the way, it seems clear that there is an issue with the battery, doesn’t matter if we are ok with 12h, 24h or 36h of battery life.

We already talked about it enough, the devs are probably reading our comments so they probably will try to fix it for a future release, so let's stop talking about the battery for now ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] miketwn:
Have anyone noticed that after flashing latest nightly, there is a new app called "dev tools" ..... anyone used that before?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] titooo7:
Come on man, although it's big you know that the difference between CM7SGS 2.3.4 and Samsung 2.3.3 isn't soooo big (at least not yet, hehehe).

By the way, is there any reports about nighlty -12?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brujoand:
From what I can tell he is trying to disconnect from some feces. But you never can know when it comes to bears ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Actually I would argue that it is, especially in terms of architecture...but it doesn't matter.

As for 12, I have it up and running, no problems, WiFi is strong and steady.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Guiper:
From one side it's good that we are discussing computer logic and battery life, means that most of the remaining issues are finally closed.

6 Months ago, everybody was complaining about bootloops, no sound, GPS or something else not working.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
So modem dumps then? Has it tried JVK?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hamsterkiller:
I use CM7 for the last 4 months (more or less), from mid-April, i was used to go to sleep after 17 hours unplugged with 30%-60%, that was great for me.

Lately, since mainline integration, it's harder to reach end of day without charge (from 6:00AM till 23:00PM)

But, thinking a little (don't use to do much)... I flashed 1, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and right now i'm flashing 12.

Let's be honest, flashing 2 times a day and come here and post, battery is much worse than before has no sense, but really, I think battery is worse since mainline integration.

I can say that with Doc's, Darky's, Juwe's, Insanity and maybe other Samsung-Based ROM's battery lasts more, 2 days was not so hard. With CM7, more than 1 day and a half is very hard for me.

I switched a month ago from CM7 to Doc's again, was on holidays and need that battery resists full day with Endomondo/MyTracks, but first task when i come home (sunday, 11PM), was reflash CM7 again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beaver2233:
Ok...I tried updating to nightly 12 (from 9) and I believe it corrupts my IMEI (no signal, options, status shows unknown etc)...flashing back to build 9 restores it. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] funkateer2:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Smulbrulaap:

So, anyone else is having these problems or is it just my problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beaver2233:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] T53N:
I'll stay with CM7 on my holiday to Sweden, but I do bring enough chargers with me :D.

Well, because data will be off during my stay abroad, I'll expect the battery will hold long enough for me to reach a power supply.

O no, Now I'm joining this battery discussion also! :mad:. Actually I was planning to write a post about plowing trough pages of irrelevant info/post about battery life.

Maybe we could open a thread about batterylife and FM radio requests? :cool:

Just flashed the new nightly #12. Almost everything ok. Good 2G signal but EDGE, 3G and 3G+ are quite laggy compared to others nightly. May be my bad.. dunno :) The symbol of sending/receiving 3G seems to send data very slowly and doesn't react correctly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gbohm:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] deputynl:
I have been on CM7, then Darky (to have a longer lasting battery), then CM7 again (as I love CM too much). It seems clear to me that CM7 uses more battery. To me it seems to be related to the Radio (and that is also the feedback I got back earlier).

Currently after 7.36 hours I am at 40% battery. With Darky it was closer to 80%.

If you need me to test anything, or provide logs, let me know. I have everything setup with ADB etc. I don't mind running without data for a day etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] yyyqqq:
update 12 is great but i have a problem: applications keep opening without me opening them. And I am not talking about applications that need to sync or something, but applications that do not provide anything to other apps and do not need any kind of syncing. Until the 11 update everything was working perfectly, but now i have like 20 apps running on the bg simultaneously (in the past they would not exceed 7-8)!

It is a pain to go through pages of pages in this thread. I expect some developmental stuff about CM7. I suggest the mainteners posts useful infos like what supercurio often tweets in his account. That'd be interesting isn't it? Then we can have actual discussion about the this rom.

Just flashed #12 & loving it!

Seems to have fixed the Android OS high battery drain issue.

On #11 Android OS = 32% & it'd drain about 8% per hour.

on #12 Android OS = 4% % battery drain = 2% per hour.

(yes, I know those figures by themselves don't add up. It would seem High android OS also leads to other causes of battery drain too not defined under Android OS. Either that or the new kernel is battery magic :))
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:

Yes, I too have this but overlooked it. Are there any downsides to having the time set manually? Because other than forpeople who hop from country to country I can't see it being a problem.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] botolo78:
Hi guys, can you explain in other words the meaning of this?

As I understood CM7 change or convert the filesystem from RFS to Yaffs2.

So? It means I cannot flash another froyo rom, unless I use an odin rom to recreate the RFS partitions?

Why I can't install new kernels? I've seen a lot of CM7 kernels here around..

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
That depends..it usually takes between 15 seconds and a minute for my provider name to appear (that is how long it takes for the SIM card to be identified). How long did you wait before pulling the SIM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
You can't return to Froyo from CM7 just by flashing a rom. As you said, due to the fact that the file system and architecture has been changed you need to follow the instructions in the FAQ and flash via ODIN.

As for Kernels, there are currently two custom kernels you can use with CM7, the Platypus kernel and the Glitch kernel. If you wish to use those instead of stock and are willing to test them out and report your findings to their devs, then find their threads, educate yourself, and flash one via Recovery.

Do NOT try to flash a Samsung ROM kernel...it will do bad, bad things to your phone.
