[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] boarder.2k9:
thats pretty good, i found earlier which is really strange that drain was normal like 3-5% per hour then all of a sudden (no additional apps running) i had like 20% per hour drop so i rebooted then it was fine. Totally wierd, but drained my battery virtually flat. It looks like 'android os' was going mental, i have had this before but don't know how to fix it

ALSO,

Does anyone find that sometimes the phone will not connect to 3g? It will just stick to 2g even though the 2g box is not ticked and has never been ticked. It just locks on a 2g signal and never even attempts to get a 3g signal (and once again i have checked 9999999999 times that the box isn't ticked). I fixed it before by using tasker to force 3g only and then back to 3g preffered but obviously that cause com.android.phone fc loop.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DarthV:
Really depends on how you use the phone and how good your signals are. Last week, with low use and high 3g/wifi/cell signal, I would have got close to 40 hours out of a single charge. At the office, I get 1-2 bars or no signal from cell towers and very low wifi signal, so the battery usage is much higher.

Someone else having problem with phone getting extremely hot? It happen when im downloading even not charging at the same time. Before i was on JVH and the temperature was ok.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] titooo7:
My SGS also get extremely hot while charging and using data connection at the same time,it almost burn my fingers...

I know that the phone gets hotter if you use it in that way, but with Samsung roms I could feel the hot in the cover not on the screen. I guess/hope they'll fix it before sooner or later.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jornbjorn:
people still dont get it... if you use the phone it will drain QUICK! only the ipad can go 10 hours straight!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jermu^:
How could I change the modem? I don't remember it was any differently accomplished than on other roms, but now that I tried installing XXJVO from Perkas stash with CWM it didn't work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sugar 7:
it's not possible :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mike.sw:
it is, if you use it as a paper weight.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
Sure possible, just enable flight mode... eventually it could also work out by using 2g only...

No no no, you can compare sammy's with cm7. Sammy's for the same usage is far better but it's a nightly, things improve all the time and it's usable :)

But stop this "using you're phone drain battery it's not cm7" nonsense. discussing about something (and asking in that case) it's different from complainning about.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] qsec:
1 d 9h on battery and 36% left. Nightly 14

Wifi always on and sync. 3g also on, not much used tho.

I admit that i don't use the phone much except for voice calls and a few text messages.

2.3.4 | JVK | 05212011-Nightly

Managed to drop from 93% to ~30% ish in 8hr 53 mins with Flight Mode ON.

On clicking Android OS, it said it was running for about 41 mins :confused:

but hey CM7 is still a million times better than any of that Touchwiz garbage

Hey, anybody have any idea why installing JVO modem on CMW didn't work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] iammichel:
Ugh why would we suddenly start rating the rom's battery drain in abnormal conditions with virtually all options disabled? I am sure most ppl here know their battery consumption with normal use on other roms. Isn't it normal that you would compare cm7's drain with similar conditions, thus enabling wifi or 3g or bluetooth? Everyone can decide for themselves whether the battery consumption got worse or not...

In my case I am not satisfied at all. Since I switched to the nightlies (currently 14) my phone drains its battery like a madman. I unplug in the morning, and find my phone empty before I get off from work. I am a very light user, but even without activity my phone lasts about 10 hours, where I would normally get 36 hours easily with the same settings and usage on other roms. If any, my phone should consume much less since I am now running an almost naked rom with only a few basic apps...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kasper_h:
Did you use a CM7-version of the modem, you can't use the Samsung-ROM-based-version.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
You did read the op and the troubleshooting page, didn't you? Thouroughly?

(Just nod as if you did, ok?)

Then you already KNOW that modems you would find in perka's for other ROMs use the wrong version of CWM and are therefore USELESS with cm7. You also know to find modems you can flash to cm7 using cwm you need to look on the sourceforge page or Zach's platypus kernel thread, yes?

OF COURSE YOU DO!

(just keep nodding)

This was all just to TEST us wasn't it, you sly dog you?

(smile and nod vigorously...QUICKLY)

What a relief...I would hate to think you hadn't bothered to do you basic homework and then asked the same question TWICE even though it was already answered on severe info pages. That would make me cry.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes.

Are we arguing about battery life again?

Can't we do something more useful? Like painting an orange orange and wondering if it is dry or not? Maybe we can bet on who will win last year's American Idol?

Please, anything....just no more battery life claims and counter claims. It is like listening to a bunch of eunuch's discussing how big their hands are...

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
As i painted an orange a green and a blue orange last week and i used fast drying concrete to do so, and battery consumption is the only thing keeping me flashing one nightly after the other, i think it is somewhat legitimate to discuss it.

Btw, want an orange? anyone?

On Perka's site there are two version of modems: CWM.zip and CWM3.zip.

The stock kernel of CM7 has CWM3. That means -as I know- it's possible to install "Modem_*-CWM3.zip" via CWM on CM7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
I think the modem zip must be specially crafted for cm7 as we use a different partition layout than stock Samsung firmwares. However, you could fetch a cm7 modem file and replace the modem.bin with the desired one.

similar to my situation, will try to grab a logcat next time if able and it should help us :)

Also,

I don't understand why people are commenting like 10000 posts complaining about what is being discussed, you are spamming the thread if you are not helping or discussing. I understand that some people think the posts are funny and fair enough but it takes sooo long to read through all the 'funny' comments to see real posts that might help others or need help.

For example, i enquired to see if anyone else had experienced problems connecting to 3g with it just locking on 2g but the thread is already like 4 pages ahead and most the posts are 'funny'

That is the nature of community....something for everyone. After all, if you feel the need to always be "serious" that is groovy with me. I wont hassle you about it. To each their own, baby. However, if you read very closely you will likely see that just as many questions get answered by the so-called "funny" posts as by the "serious" ones....maybe even more.

Oh yeah, your serious question. I have not had that problem, though I think it has been mentioned now and then. Search in the thread and see what you find. I would try a few different modems, see if it improves. Also use an app called Network Info II to get a better idea of what you phone is connecting to, regardless of the little notification bar thingy which is not always accurate...and when it reads 2g run speedtest. If you score over 3k download it is lying to you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tommy34:
I don't mingle much in this thread. But for the users who are still arguing about battery life. I saw a significant increase in batterylife since #14. At work i have very bad reception and in the previous roms it usely drained my battery in less than 10 hours.. I hope it isn't coincidence but really the hard work of the developers :). Here is my battery diagram. The large drop you can see my cellphone signal going green (leaving work) and driving home with screen and GPS on (navigation), normal battery behaviour.

p.s. sorry i didn't listen to you rschenck;) but was eager to share my growing positive experience with cm7:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rschenck:
The thing about battery life and why it really doesn't pay to belabor it overly much is several fold...

One, the devs KNOW, have atated repeatedly they are working on it and are sick of hearing it. I would be surprised if they pay much attention to posts about it.

Two, they have also stated many times that the battery problems are mainly due to idling problems and modem problems, both due to the fact Samsung used propriatary code for those functions....the issues may never be fixed unless Samsung changes policy or someone has a breakthrough.

And lastly three, if you took 200 sgs running cm7 and lined them up you would see 200 different battery life results. For every person who claims great battery life someone else says their phone drops dead in three hours. Is someone lying? No, there is just no standard experience right now. People keep looking for one, but there is none to be had, and no good advice to give to change that. All we can do is complain, argue and hold each others hands about the issue...and sadly the arguing is most common lately.

Best to focus on things that are new issues or that we can affect, in my opinion....though I am glad your experience is improving. Mine is pretty good too...at least I think it is. I never really measure it.

LOGGING FOR NOOBS!

If you don't know how to get a log from your phone using adb, download "Android System Info" from Market, open it, select tab "Logs",

hit "menu" button and select the type of log you want. You can easily save it to your sdcard and post it here or somewhere.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tommy34:
I am not really claiming good battery life. I'm trying to claim an improvement. I read some post from Codeworkx about a main cause of battery drain was bad reception or no reception. That was really what i experienced but now that's is much less so i was just guessing they did some improvements there.

Of course you're right there is much more too it, my SGS could also have a good day, you'll never know for sure.

For what it"s worth i am using the BUJV3 modem (uk samsung gb release) and another disagreement: GPS seems to be quite well with this one :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] funkateer2:
Yes and I said, just buy it on ebay for example one or two extra batteries to avoid being annoyed at this level. I have had 2 batteries and a charger for a little over 10 €, it's worth it I think!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] meesterlars:
Long-press menu to search; was this deliberately changed to keyboard popup? Being able to search with one press was a great workaround for the SGS not have a dedicated button and I can not, for the life of me, think of the need to randomly pop a keyboard out of nowhere. Unless being able to layer stuff like this is supercool:

Woo!

Will the current setting stay and, if so, would it be possible to at least toggle between search and keyboard through CyanogenMod settings? Perhaps there's a way to do this already and I'm just too old to work it out myself.

Honestly, this is my only real gripe with CM7 on the SGS - I installed a couple of days ago out of curiosity and have been blown away by it's speed and stability. Thanks devs!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Dr. Strange:
Tried CM7 about a month ago, I don't think I'll ever run anything else on the SGS. It's in a class of its own as far as speed and responsiveness go, and the steady bug fixes (like headset working - a big plus for me) make it the best ROM for me. I find the features of CM greatly outweigh the bugs/quirks and shortcomings.

The battery wars: I find battery life is as good as other ROMs as long as i don't use 3g/HDSPA. When i do the battery goes really really quickly and the phone gets very, very, warm.

One small thing though, the haptic feedback on the lockscreen really drives me nuts and I can't figure out a way to turn it off (I know changing unlock method can fix that but old habits...). If anyone has any suggestions...

Widgetlocker enables it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Because this is the same behavior on Android AOSP, similar to what is on NexusS/1. At this point this isn't ideal because the i9000 doesn't have a dedicated search button like those models, but no need to get frustrated, I'm sure they will fiddle with it when the other more pressing issues have been ironed out.

Besides, search is usually a menu option, and if you're talking about the homescreen, nothing a widget/shortcut won't fix.

Just be patient. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xero2002:
Long press menu and when the keyboard pops up just start typing.

I want to add the feature of video calling from the phone through 3G network....

Is it possible to do that by editing the "phone.apk" file and the other calling sittings files in the SYSTEM FOLDER?

I hope the Cyanogen M7 team can add this feature, especially, that the feature is avaliable and I hope that it can be imported from the modified phone application (APK) and the sittings in samsung GB roms....

If it is not possible to add this feature, is there any applications can be installed to use it to make video calling using 3G network not by internet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
As stated before, this feature is a hack by Samsung, won't be available in CM7 unless Google themselves decide to implement it.

Look on the bright side, all the new SE models have FFC as well, and they all can't do video calling via 3G.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] android53:
This is very likely because we got the 'beta' version of the sgs2 browser in gingerbread, with hardware/gpu flash acceleration.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
even if google would provide a way to enable this it is very unlikely that the samsung implementation would be compatible with it. IMHO this will never be implemented.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Arkanius:
I thought Samsungs implementation worked with every phone that had video calling since 3G was established back in the stone age

I mean, I was able to video call my old Nokia

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kenkiller:
Yes, their implementation work fine, but it's a Samsung creation that has nothing to do with AOSP, works only with Samsung framework.

It's less the implementation, more of how CM7's clean breakaway from Samsung's rom makes it impossible.

Wow - phenomenal battery life; made a phone call, sent a text message and didn't use the phone for a day and a half and I still had 40% battery left... unbelievable! Using my Galaxy Tab for work.

Boo hoo - used my phone like I normally do, GPS testing in the field to 3 hours; 3G on. 4 or 5 calls/hour, some text messaging, bluetooth in the car, searched the Internet a couple of times, played a game of Sudoku, went to doctor and he watched a Sciatica exercise video on my phone that I doing for my right hip. Battery showing less than 30% after only 6 hours - will it make the end of the day? I doubt it at this rate.

Battery is so dependent on how we use our phones. So one posting they get 1.5 days with a phone call and a couple of text messages is not using a Smartphone, they might as well use a cheap Nokia with a 2.5 vga screen; they'll get a week. Real world usage is dependent on the individual.

I carry a spare battery in the field as GPS may have to be on for up to 8 hours; there is no bigger battery drain. I have a car charger - amazing what a quick 10-15 minutes does to juice it back up; I have a desk charger in my office and when I go to bed at night, I charge it.

Battery is never an issue however, there are some radios which are definitely better at battery management than others such as the ZJPG in my case (Australia).

I for one am sick of the phenomenal battery reports from guys that really need a Nokia.

Think I'll paint an orange.

I'm using a 32Gb microSD card without an issue except for one app which does not play with it (Audible - but the work around was not to change the binding but let it use external_sd which is simply a folder on the sdcard and move the downloaded books into that folder. My SD card had over 9Gb free.)

Personally I think we are all viewing this video calling thing wrong. It's not a bug...it's a FEATURE!

What about those days you just don't feel like yourself due to lack of sleep, an unexpected body swap or a hangover? Maybe you don't wish people to know you are transforming into a sheep? Perhaps you are just ugly?

Now when, say...Elle MacPhearson calls and pressures you to videocall with her you don't need to make up silly lies to protect your modesty....simply say "I don't have video calling on my phone...."

Isn't that simple??
