confirmed

0509 seems to have made battery runtime worse for me, too

must be a regression from upstream (NOT cmsgsteam / our SGS port)

our CM7 nightly is built from source and always from latest state from the "unstable"/development tree

so you have to compare it with e.g. Debian unstable / Gentoo testing

whereas Samsung can be compared with (semi-stable) Debian testing

you can't compare Froyo with Gingerbread 2.6.32 -> 2.6.35

once again: HUGE CHANGES everywhere

yeah - compiler options:

I tried those: unstable phone (rebooting), higher battery drain, non-working GPS, compass, etc.

there's more than only those "tricks"

0509 ?

try 0506 that one's better in terms of battery usage & stability

I also got FCs with 0509 yesterday (lots of apps FCing)

must be a problem that got introduced from upstream

hopefully with next nightly it will be stable again:

read: cmsgsteam can NOT influence this since it's directly coming from cyanogenmod's source

1-2% here with JVO

what options are you using ?

JVO modem seems to have amazing reception quality :)

(good for cities)

make sure you kill any stupid apps remaining in the RAM running as a service and quietly draining the battery

try out the nightly from 0506

see comment above for more clarifications

FIX IT ! FIX IT ! FIX IT !

PORT IT ! PORT IT ! PORT IT ! :p

we already use the latest WIFI drivers (e.g. used with 2.6.38 kernels) that should reduce power consumption

yeah, some crappy apps persist running in the background and draining your battery like there is no tomorrow

if you see those running as a service (Gun Bros, Tap Tap revenge, etc.) then STOP

those - killing those via e.g. advanced task killer

won't help - they'll get respawned and loop and/or drain even more

I bet you gonna whine on battery drain shortly. Use 100 as min and ondemand as governor and you will be quite happy. You don't have to set deep sleep, your device should do it automagically when in sleep. If not, something is wrong on your side.

Played Grave Defense HD and left the phone during the night. In the morning the Android OS was about 35% and I had a 40% battery drain while sleeping. I hate Android so much, sometimes... I bet, before Android 20, Cherry-on-top-of-a-gigantic-weeding-cake, we won't have a stable OS.

Dude, you're flashing nightlies. They're gonna have bugs. Most often, it'll be a problem only on your phone. Be realistic.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I hate Android users so much sometimes...

Did you actually fully exit the game when you were done, or use a widgit to close running apps before you "left" the phone, or did you just go back to the home screen and close the screen, assuming the game would just disappear?

If the latter, then I am not at all surprised by the drain. GraveDefense is a very processor intensive game which saves game data regularly and remains available for multitasking when you go back to the home screen. Odds are very very good that when you put your phone down the game continued to run in the background (accounting for the Android OS usage), waiting for you to return. In that situation, 40 percent overnight is not too bad.

Remember that Android is more akin to a PC operating system then any other mobile OS. Consider if you were discussing a laptop. You left it overnight on battery with a heavyweight game running in the background. Would you really expect to have power left in the morning?

I bet, before Android 20, we still won't have reasonable expectations of our phones or use them intelligently to maximize their performance.

I have a problem since a couple of weeks. Tried to solve it by myself, but no chance, so maybe some of you can help me.

The problem is, if i try to enter settings -> applications -> manage applications the process settings force closes after a few seconds and restarts.

It first happened after I installed two new apps. 5 min before everything was fine. I deinstalled the apps but the problem stayed. I wiped caches, fixed permissions several times, nothing helped.

I installed Android System Info and had a look into the logs.

There it says

08-30 11:33:51.402 E/AndroidRuntime(5444)

FATAL EXCEPTION: ApplicationState.Loader

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: bitmap size exceeds VM

switch your microSD to the main sd card

at least for me the internal SD of the phone is quite slow

so that might help to get a faster microSD & make that the default storage device

faster read & faster write

?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Oh, well since recovery we use is cwm and its widespread. It would have to go through the regular review process.

Here's a good example : link

A brief guide :

Setup an account at that site.

Then in ur ~/android/system for eg do :

repo start mybranch bootable/recovery

Then do ur stuff (make modifications)

then commit them

Then in ~/android/system do

repo upload bootable/recovery

Check that and reboot to activate it. However, as discussed yesterday add well, it will see the external as the internal and put the internal under /emmc. All apps, including rommanager, will use the external, as were it the internal, but cwm recovery won't.

Just want to share something stupid I did to prevent others from doing something similarly stupid :)

I know that power widget 2g/3g toggle doesn't work and result in com.android.phone FC. But in the past disabling the network connection before toggling was a way to prevent the problem. So I made a Task in Tasker:

-disable mobile network

-wait 10 second

-set network to 2G only

-wait 10 second

-enable mobile network

This seemed to work OK. But on a reboot, I ended in a com.phone.android FC-problem. So I flashed back to a recent CWM-backup and the problem was solved. But I at least learned something I will never do again :)
