Omg, guys any tips on battery life?

Im still getting 27% drain overnight (7h) that's some crazy idle drain !

Are you using tools like Juicedefender or sh1t like that to have like 2-3% a night?

Any governor that drains less or special kernel?

im lost...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
you still on froyo bootloaders i'd guess?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Red_Vex:
Gps test report 5 -10 meters accuracy
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gaspernemec:
Yeah froyo bootloaders are responsible for those battery drains, go to gingerbread bootloaders and you will see major difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
what's that app you're using for those stats man?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gugus38:
That would be weird...

I flashed froyo then XXJVR through Odin..

...damn maybe i had to put a file in the "Bootloader" in Odin?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kraven001:
Not using any tools for "battery saving".

All I do/did is make sure I don't get the android system / os bug by running watchdog (should in theory notify of rogue processes eating up pointless the cpu but since running a custom kernel I haven't received any notifications).

Apart from that with neo 9 redux 5, using nightly #80 coupled with jvr modem things have stabilized in an on par battery usage with any stock sgs rom I had (I am no where near a heavy usage user but I get about 12 hours of life out of a charge with 3g data on and background sync) but speed and responsiveness are something very different :D.

Thanks to the devs and the ones maintaining this topic!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
nop, not really, it should have updated bootloaders in that case even with Phone Bootloader Update unchecked (never used it myself), or the pda you flashed didn't have bootloaders??? that can't be, afaik. there's something else then. can you click over battery uptime to show "advanced" battery stats and take screenshot?

edit: don't think it matters, but did you check repartition and pitfile when flashing jvr? first time i tried gb bl+cm i came from JVQ, noticed improvement on battery life almost immediately.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Red_Vex:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gaspernemec:
You flashed firmware from samfirmware? Do you still have it on comp, go and open pda file if it has sbl.bin and boot.bin files included, if it does you are on ggb bl, but if it doesnt you are still on froyo. I flashed stock JVR rom from samfirmware, with sbl, rooted it with speedmod and flashed CM
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gugus38:
I flashed this: CODE_I9000XXJVR_CL425308_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5 and

there are both boot and sbl files in it

Maybe I should have removed the ".md5" ? :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
maybe some app is keeping the phone from going into deep sleep. he hasn't even used wifi, but signal power is low, maybe you get lousy gsm/3g signal? it's dropping way to fast. reboot recovery, wipe dalvik/cache, disable background data/autosync. see if it helps. as for the .md5 file extension, no worries. did you repartition when you flashed JVR?

I'm on Bell and it has always shown Bell for me, not the carrier number.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kraven001:
I think you are pretty much ok. You got 22 hours.

The one thing I noticed is that you have pretty low signal (not too much green on the chart of phone signal) and you might consider some alternate modems.

Just my 2 cents...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gugus38:
WOW! yea something is definitely wrong lol

I will try to reflash everything, and flash JVR modem (if that helps? i have no idea on which modem is better for France...)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
+1, yeah, test other modems too.

edit: okay so you're from europe - you've got several good ones, try jve, jvo, jvq, i've been getting good results with those. if you do find yourself flashing back to stock, after flashing jvr, factory reset the phone; then flash cwm and after that cm7/radio.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] quidome:
Have you tried MIUI? They did NOT fix the 720p recording.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gugus38:
How can I quickly test modems? because if I flash each and test battery drain for a day, that's gonna take a month..

Can i just check the db level after each flash and keep the highest?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hrc4u:
thats how i should approach =) best db level should be best modem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
yeah, that would be one way to look for the best modem for you. also pay attention to idle drain, in-call audio quality. another question, does your network support 2g connections or only 3g? over 3g it drains faster, ofc. maybe some french users could also give their thoughts on this. visit cm7 modems threads like the one on my sig (thank siky_dude for putting up this collection) and flash away.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Gugus38:
Im looking at it ;) but seems like JVR is a good one already...

I also have that stupid Google+ popping from time to time on my phone, dunno if it could drain battery too... gonna remove that to check.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
yeah. you could also do the next time you reflash stock gb and then nightly, don't install lot's of stuff right away. check app permissions when you install app. if they require "wake lock" permission, it can mean that app might start misbehaving in the future, because they can wake the phone from deep sleep, get wild in there, use more cpu, thus draining battery agressively in the background. you need to check for those. even apps which are not running might lead to battery drain, like latitude for example (you needed to go into latitude and actually sign out).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexandruvlad:
Do custom roms still work after the gingerbread bootloader update?

Eg : Glitch or FuguMOD ...

Thanks a lot !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
these are kernels NOT roms ;)

- neo 9 redux v5

- fugumod (> 6xx build number)

- latest twooey kernel from vorbeth

these should support GB bootloaders

and of course the stock kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] manjee:
The same thing happened to me, the phone wasn't recognized by odin anymore. I had to reinstall both Samsung phones usb driver and android sdk with the rev04 driver to get it recognized.

And it gave me a cold sweat ; i first reinstalled android sdk and odin added the phone, then i flashed the bootloader and odin got stuck :s

But restarting odin worked... Phew!

Samsung driver allowed odin to complete the flashing process.

Hope that helps :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wlvrn:
Thanks but already tried them :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wlvrn:
Unfortunately yes yes yes. Tried different ports, drivers, cables and operating systems (win7 and winxp). Even done a factory reset on the sgs. That's why my guess is a physical problem on the usb connector. And i'll do another try: connect to a friends laptop that has also a sgs and a full working usb connection working. ..

So, that's why i'm asking your advice. I'm with a stock froyo and without usb (odin or hemdall not working). Is it feasible to install a nigthly + gb bootloader + jvr radio? How? I also have installed cwm 2.5. Should i move forward or wait until i manage somehow to solve the usb problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] krarvind:
Really? then i am lost, may be its the ROM ( Insanity based on CM) i am using, but i have seen many other bell users of CM7 say that only number is being displayed. Weird!

Problem--Odin does not recognise my device..SORTED OUT!

I have had a few problems after flashing nightly #80 and maybe sheer coincidence but the latest one is that Odin fails to recognise my device.The USB port is fine since I am able to charge the phone through the mains as well as through my PC.

Shall be very grateful if someone throws a hint/advice on how to sort this out.

Best wishes.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wlvrn:
From my experience being able to charge through usb port doesn't mean that the data comm is ok. Don't know if it is the same problem but as siky said in the previous pages you have links for several drivers and a test with hemdall. Hopes some of them solves your problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
its not bull****...the scratches on my phone are not bull****...

that was my experience on jvq...

i don`t think i made stock more low in the eyes of others than it already is. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:
Not necessarily... It might mean you get a good signal, but it could have other issues... For example, I have seen a few modems that give me a really strong signal outside, but where other modems might drop about 10db when I go inside, those ones dropped 20-25db - so it was not as resilient. This means that if I'm inside using that modem, I use a lot more battery, as I lose cells and the phone goes searching...

"Best dB" is a good start, but you need to test further.... Take it for a walk, try bluetooth etc, try it in underground train tunnels, highrise buildings, etc....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:
Your mobile standby is way high, means that your modem signal is not good, and you are eating battery trying to fix it. Try different modems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] toddmworth:

Camery works really nice! 720p works without any problems.

But on my phone I can't play videos with the stock video player. Audio does work. But the instead of the video it only shows a black scrren. Doesn't matter if it's 720x480 or 1280x720.

thank's

nice regards

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] uberberben:
I'm glad there is some progress with camera. Photos are pretty nice (excluding no light metering setting when stock sucks hard), but video is still pretty ugly. 720p looks like 480p on samsung roms, frame limiting isn't that good and it's choppy sometimes. But i hope it'll be getting better in time :)

Now i have to revert to Samsung rom, i need good camera in next few days. It's really painful because i love CM7 :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
you need odin or heimdal to see your device. if you don't have at least that and download mode by 3bc, i would advise not doing anything until you sort this out.

also, to flash bootloaders you need to be in download mode, can't do it from cwm.

can you adb the device?

Is it possible for a theme from the market to make ur phone unstable? I think that could be my problem.

Reflashed #77 with neo 15 and stock theme and all seems to be well so far.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
It is certainly possible for a theme to cause fcs and other problems. Anything that changes/messes with/accesses the framework files can diminish performance and cause certain widgits or apps to crash.

I have found that PowerAMP especially can be a bit persnickety about framework issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
Forgot to add that #77 with stock kernel and ikandee theme was terrible too.

The common denominator is ikandee theme. Pity cause I love it. The cm7 notification bar is really horrid though in my opinion...even with different themes . A bit off topic there but......

Well I have this problem every morning since I flashed nightly #80, GB bootloaders and JVR modem.

This morning I turned off wifi on the phone before going out from home, but when I arrived at work I was on "G". I managed to get "3G" back by doing this, if I can remember:

- turn 2G parameter on

- turn 2G parameter off

- reboot

- turn 2G parameter on

- turn 2G parameter off

Can I call a moratorium on posting ginormous Battery Status screencaps? Some of these we have seen over and over again (Yes Melo, I am looking at you). It just gets worse when several people then quote the post with the gigantic Battery Status pic.

I know that there are still some people who work from a need to see/prove battery status, much like dogs sniffing one another, but do these REALLY give us any valuable information?

Unless your battery status page reveals something truly amazing or embarassing, such as Angry Birds burning 98 percent of your battery, don't bother posting it please or stick it up on Photobucket and post the link. In most cases, we'll take your word for your battery life or OS bug, really we will.

Umm I wanna ask which modems slovenian users use, anything special there or only stick to JVR?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Most of the modern modems are pretty universal so unless you have a specific need, such as 850 band capability, most will work anywhere it seems. Therefore you should be good with JVR unless you find that it doesn't perform well for you. If that is the case, just flash another of the current "cool modems" and see if it does better.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kar200:
Thanks for the post. Our friend seems to have done a lot of work. A bit too late for me since I bought the LG camera app fromt he market :)

I was wondering if the devs of CM7 (not I9000 specific) are going to do work on the dialer and contact (maybe calendar but I don't use it) to have the features that come standard now with most manufacturer's roms?

I know there are alternatives in the market but they don't integrate well visually. I am not talking about a huge change but since the I9000 does not have a dedicated search button we need that search bar by default on the top in the contacts area. The dialer would be a lot more useful if it had the smart dialing capabilty.

With the amount of talent these guys have it looks more like a decision not to deviate from AOSP too much. I suppose this should be a question for Google more than CM7 guys.

Did you try on the Android market? It should be there and there is a free version to give it a try.

I tried ti after reading rschenck comment about it. It lets you set the bitrate for example to take videos and lot more options.

I am no expert so I cannot give you a comparison between the 2 but it seemed good enough for me.

If you cannot find it in the market maybe try with market enabler?

K.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Einride:
I guess you're better off asking that in a more CM7-related forum since it's not directly tied to the SGS.

But is the stock Google dialer really that useless plain? Can anyone who's used a Nexus S chime in? Is there no smart dial for instance (ie, start typing a name on the dialpad, it'll look up contacts)?

I've switched to Go Contacts or Go Dialer or whatever it's called myself. It's better functionality-wise, although I'm no fan of the interface nor is it particularly fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] malomity:
Ok I found it ! I was looking for "lg camera". "lgcamera" gave better results :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kar200:
If I am not mistaken all Google dev phones (HTC Magic, Nexus 1 and the Nexus S) have a dedicated search button which makes life easier with the stock dialer. If you are on the dialer page you just hit the button and you are automatically taken to the contact page with the search option active. The same thing can only be done by actually going to the search page manually on a SGS and then either keep the menu button pressed and start typing or use the button and then search.

K.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Funnnny:
No, this is complete different from go to Contacts page. A T9 dialer is something always missing in stock Dialer
