It could take a couple charging cycles for any battery life benefits to appear...and they may not be as great as you were expecting. Everything to do with battery life is very individual and subjective, and can be different from phone to phone. What does seem to be pretty consistent about the GB bootloaders is a bit smoother performance and faster boots.

bk201 is right that the Dice player improves performance when WATCHING video for most users..however neither Dice nor the GB bootloaders will not affect stuttering while FILMING 720p video. The only solutions for that is to use a lower framerate or a lower resolution. The longer delay on still pictures is likely due to the new autofocus changes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
you know there's been more changes than that. but is hard to squash bugs if all we have to work on is one written report. we need hard evidence, right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Yes, but one doesn't always HAVE hard evidence...hence the brainstorming.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] katsooba:
new kernel seems to be in progress :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
Man i changed to cm7 in the pre nightly age, means i have more experience regarding cm7 than 80% of the users here, and my diagnoses never fail [/sarcasm] i bet a leg and an arm this is due to a battery driver thing. Also other users have already confirmed that behaviour. I know about the battery saving feature that actually makes the phone jump from 97 to 100 when charging, and i guess that exactly this feature prevents that the phone starts charging again after it stopped at 100%. It runs on battery then, thinks it is still on 100% charge but meanwhile already is down to prox 70 because the phone does not go to deepsleep when it is connected to charger.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jangyelo:
Is there anyway to make the screen wake when I receive a message?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kinghorsey:
Its choppy even if I pull the video off the phone and play it on a PC.

I'm a little disappointed but not enough to give up cm7 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] katsooba:
bk201 - he is talking about video recording, not playback.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kinghorsey:
That's why I added the caveat. Unfortunately when you flash nearly every nightly the battery never gets to calibrate.

Of course the modem is going to affect the battery life more than anything and since I'm dependant on the 850 band I'll likely always have a battery that drains quicker than others.

I can live with that - that's why I have a travel charger and an extra battery. :)

If superior battery life was a deal breaker I'd go back to a blackberry....but I can't stand blackberries and its not a deal breaker. Nor is camera and video. I have real cameras to handle those functions.

I'm guessing while Samsung want the devs to develop cm7 for the sgs2 they probably haven't shared any source code that would resolve a few of the remaining issues on either phone.

Too bad.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kinghorsey:
Precisely. It plays back choppy no matter what you play it on - therefore its the recording process.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobidzid:
Try NoLED.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
Isn't that a real battery drainer?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mobidzid:
Well, if he wants the screen to wake on every message he isn't after battery life, right?

Was there something wrong with what I said?

I've never even mentioned about my battery draining excessively.

On other forums I've read to stay away from noLed because its hard on the battery.

i left it on the airplane while i was sleeping, when i woke up it was fine, 96% (lost like 1% in 8hrs), but when i got to work, i noticed 10% drain over 20mins, maybe less, it stuck at 100mhz for one hour and a half. gonna try reflash later.

didn't manage to pull log from this (was away from home and i need to get that logcat app), but saw in os monitor something about gps not finding correct server in android system, it was trying to access north american server (i'm in europe), so i applied faster fix again, it got a little bit better, currently sitting at 43%. but i wasn't even using gps at the time, just regular gprs/edge. maybe it wasn't related to gps, but to having switched to edge (at work). i had background data off too.

attachment 1

attachment 2

and another thing, now it's deep sleeping nicely at 97, 98%

edit: had issues all day; android system kept using up battery, started going berserk again. until i reflashed #86 at work. then i flashed gapps and it's been sitting nicely at 8% for like 2 hours. i hope this doesn't happen again :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] upichie:
Can anyone tell me why my governor always changes back to ondemand, regardless of my settings? I prefer using smartass, but it always automatically changes back--whether I used an app, the cyanogenmod settings, apply at boot, etc. Any help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
ohh god...don`t post anything that isn`t stock kernel related...

you are using neo or glitch
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] katsooba:
silky, u do know that u can change the cpu governor from cm settings, right? i think that is what he meant.

supported or not, he can be on the stock kernel to have these options.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
stock does not support smartass...

he can`t switch governors because of the scaling scripts...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] katsooba:
i know, but the option is there, im just saying, i think that what he meant when he asked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
Probably because ur using stock kernel ...right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
what?

read his question again..he is on neo or glitch and asking why he can`t change governor here,

that`s not right :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
I thought the same as katsooba . He doesn't mention being on neo or glitch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Ok, everyone calm down....

From what he is saying I have a feeling he is on stock kernel and doesn't quite get that you can't change the governor on stock.

There is a chance he is even more clueless then that and can't figure out how to change the governor on a stock kernel...but from his description my cat could set the custom kernel governor using all the methods he claims to have tried. Therefore I think he is on stock and is just confused, since at least he types better than my cat.

Either way....lets all stop snapping at one another, ok?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
I didn't think anyone was snapping :):):)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
snapping?...where?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] katsooba:
no one is snapping here, unless you see silkys attitude as snappy, but we grown accustomed to that :)

its a feature of his :)

he did not mention neo glitch nor fugu in his msg.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
well afaik on stock when you change governor it stays that way...does not change...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
Maybe we should wait for upichie to tell us what kernel hes using ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] got_milk:
Does anyone have their hands on the new bootloader for the I9000Ms (KG3)? I tried extracting it for use with CM7 but there's only Sbl.bin in the package and not the boot.bin that seems to be required as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
can someone post some more pictures of the new "low power mode"

(offline while charging) please ?

It's charging for me & not fully booting up but there's no charging animation and only a battery sign and in the middle of it a circle with 8 bars

is that the same with the stock kernel ? (haven't tested latest cm7 nightly yet - I'm currently on MIUI doing some tests)

Thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
the charging while off feature will be implemented the next nightly

i right now have vorbeth kernel from galnet and the feature is working :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] djice000:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
READ the first post
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
While he doesnt mention it, one can easily guess that he is not using stock kernel from the problem he expiriences.

Also who saied that on stock kernel one can not change governor? Just look int cmsettings...

----------------------------------------

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
exactly :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
Zach, if u dont remember it anymore, the spinning wheel disapears after a few seconds, and the charging animation starts, a green fillament of the battery that indicates the progress with its startingpoint and goes up to full green battery, so if charged 50% te left half of the battery stays green and the right half is animated to grow up to full.

----------------------------------------

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
I don't agree. What was said was you can't use smartass on stock kernel.

Furthermore , the problem he is having ( not being able to stay in smartass ) would fit in with him being in stock. He tries to select it, thinks its done ...but its not cause its not supported by stock.

Just my interpretation ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
he can`t select it cause its not there...he can`t change to smartass and then it changes like that...

saying he want to select smartass equals custom kernel :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
It not being there as you said means stock :):):)

Upichie where are youuuu!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
If its not present, you can't select it. Setcpu, cmsettings and what so ever provide only governors that are actually implemented in the kernel. What he stated was tharmt the governor is set back to ondemand everytime, that happens because his kernel comes with a script that changes governor depending on screenstate.

----------------------------------------

tapatalked
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] siky_dude:
yeah...it not being there means stock...

but he stated that he selected it and then it changed back to ondemand :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KennyLegend:
Maybe ur right...who knows....I'm just giving my interpretation on what I read. But I'm new to cm7 so you'd know more about it than me ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
yeah, the ROM part is missing in current MIUI.us

I'll try it on latest cm7 nightly then

if only Titanium Backup and nandroid backups were working properly :(

(a backup is not the issue - restoring and getting them to work afterwards is the real problem)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] encho:
Hey, here's an idea: you should start a new thread entitled: 'What kernel is upichie on'. Seriously - who cares :-)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] benjieg:
Hi, thanks for sharing. Did you by any chance check with CPU Spy if your phone was going into Deep Sleep?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] upichie:
Sorry guys! I didn't mean to cause such a stir. I'm getting more familiar with this stuff everdyay, and I admit, I quite enjoy it. But it certainly has a steep learning curve for someone whose first smartphone was this SGS.

As it turns out I am running Glitch, not the stock kernel. I guess I should have assumed this had more to do with the kernel than the ROM, but hey, I'm learning haha. If anyone feels like helping me out, can you explain why my governor is being changed back? Simply knowing should be enough to find a solution to my problem.

Sorry again for throwing out that apparently irrelevant post; I didn't mean to start anything. =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
sorry to barge in. if you're running any of the available custom kernels for cm7, don't report issues here. first check their threads and post questions if not already awnsered (use thread search).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] beekay201:
at the begging of the day, i was getting nasty drain, after a while it began not deep sleeping again (locked@100mhz), factory reset, reflashed nightly, gapps, all good. android system behaving nicely. going to keep it with no apps installed other than gapps and cm's for a day or two, see if it happens again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Don't forget world domination, you are thinking about that too....and location tracking.

Why don't you demand that the stock ROM use the same bootloader as cm7?

Dont know everybody else but I'm having better battery life on 0506 update. Havent flashed 0509 yet, as I don't need gtalk video right now, but ill flash today just to test it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
I did have a extremely good battery life with 0506 update + JVK + bilboa's r12 kernel. Now I'm having market (2.3.6) FC issue with 0509 update....after which I can only solve it by downgrading/uninstalling the market updates, back to 2.3.3

weird things can happen to CM7 mod:D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DagsJT:
Since flashing 0509, I've seen my phone reboot randomly whilst sat on the arm of the couch as well as the phone appear dead and needing to pull the battery and boot it back up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eRajesh:
How the heck do you guys get 2-3 days of battery life?

On normal usage, the battery drain is fine but IMHO, there is still a high battery drain when the phone is sleeping.

I use 3G only when needed, else 2G mode with data always on and I barely make it through the day
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I just assume they are lying, or have their phone hooked up by jumper cables to a car battery.

Perhaps virgin sacrifice is involved?

However, about a day is the average for most cm7 users at the moment, so you are fine....just ignore the freakish exceptions

Btw, the devs are very well aware of the drain while idle and are working on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
Today I had three sudden reboots in an hour on the may 9 nightly and glitch 8a. The first was while downloading email, then another while sending a gmail, both via 3g with no oc enabled. Then I had the android process stop responding, followed by another reboot. The deuce, you say.

I cleared davlik and cache, reinstalled the newest gapps and fixed permissions....no problem since but I am keeping my eye on it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aoprea:
i put gaps inside latest update-cm-7-INITIAL-GalaxyS-signed.zip and i flashed from beining and all is very good (camera work, gtalk work, dont have fc....)

can't wait for next release... thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
Aoprea, i doubt you have even flashed the gapps now. I think they need to be flashed seperately

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DarKprince87:
I've a suggestion for the INITIAL script:

if an user doesn't place the UPDATE-cm... file in /sdcard but into a folder (like /sdcard/cyanogen/) after the 1st reboot of kernel-cm-INITIAL the installation process take into a reboots loop which can be stopped only removing the battery (then user can unlock this loop simlpy booting from recovery again, click select .zip file to flash, and choose the update file). I think it would be better if the script won't get in that loop if cannot find the file, but simply get back into recovery and (maybe) show an error message.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
Either that or I believe they have turned off data, 3G, push and everything else which in turn makes it behave like a mid 90s Nokia "smartphone".

I'll rather have a smartphone working as a smartphone and ****ty batterylife than invest money in a smartphone and then spending time and energy to dumb it down, just to get better battery-time.

That said, battery-drain is a real issue (both on CM7 and stock firmwares), and if the CM devs can improve it it will certainly be most welcome.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] josteink:
I had this issue prior to the 09.05.2011 update and since I did a complete wipe with app-reinstall from market (and not from backups) I haven't really had issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GeoH2102:
Loving having CM7 on my Galaxy S, incredibly smooth! Sadly, however, my GPS is broken :(

I can't even get into lbstestmode to try that method of sorting it... has anyone else had this issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] codeworkx:
Battery drain is no issue.

You car consumes fuel while driving. Is this a issue too?

I think not.

Battery drain on CM7 is not bad at the moment. We're still trying to improve it, but don't expect a wonder.

If you use your Smartphone as a Smartphone, your battery will get raped anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
I have a better idea...how about people actually read the instructions carefully and follow them exactly while doing things that if they go badly awry will leave them with an expensive paperweight?

Asking too much, y'think?

Flashed nightly #87, went with the wiki last method (The Responsible Pedestrian).

Decided to stay with stock kernel without any bells and whistles. All seems good, however seems that the top CPU usage application for me is the "kswapd" process - as far as I could research this is the kernel swap daemon and it should kick in to clear memory pages when they are not available, which seems reasonable, however it comes with high processor usage. Come to think about it I got the same alerts the first time I flashed CM, but I shortly switched to a custom kernel.

Tried reboots, dalvik clear, permission fixes - just to be safe - but nothing changed.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] benjieg:
I get this from time to time. Sometimes a reboot will do. Other times I need to wipe cache and dalvik then reboot. Sometimes a reflash is needed. This last time I had to format /system and /cache then reflash for the problems to go away. No need to factory reset since that wipes data which is a pain.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tuxing:
I have tried almost all cm7 roms from #45 to 80 , with numerous radios. All were buttery smooth and addictive , cant thank cyanogen team enough.

But i was forced to go back to stock rom cause of a major , very major flaw in all rom builds- during an incoming call the person on the other side cant hear u clearly. Its solved by toggling speaker on and off everytime.

Anyone has found a fix for this?

Have found the very same problem on miui roms also.

Thanks again cyanogen team.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] melorib:
Thanks,

It just refused to work going back to #80, in #86 no problem except higher drain...

#87 is ok, low battery drain, but once in a while the launcher wont start, have to lock screen and unlock a few times... :confused:

This is a very slippery slope, and I seriously doubt Pawtip would agree with you.
