Battery Optimization on Blade (Very fast Drainage)

Hi,

I have been using Dell XCD35 (ZTE Blade) for over a week now and upgraded to CM7 4-5 days back. However, I need help in optimizing the battery.

Everynight the battery discharges itself. I noticed that my Wifi was switched on however in sleep mode it does'nt send any notifications that means wifi also goes into the sleep mode.

I use just a few basic apps like GMAIL, Tweetdeck, Friendcaster & Whatsapp. Do you think any of these applications are causing the trouble?

Also, any suggestion on applications which can optimize battery?
[Blade General] k0zmic:
What ROM are you using?
[Blade General] yatinthakur:
I am using CM7 Stable ROM..
[Blade General] tsddave:
A tip that seems to work on most smart phones is to charge overnight then restart the phone unplugged from the charger then replug the charger for a further 2 hours. This increases the battery life for me nicely....try it.
[Blade General] yatinthakur:
I did a Battery calibration through battery calibration app from market. This looks to be working, will keep you all updated.

However, any suggestions on kernals for battery improvement?
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Doesn't the CM7 stable have the libaudio bug, I'm assuming it's 7.1 RC1?

Try a nightly that's 126 onwards.

I moved away from CM7 due to poor battery life. Actually running on Ginger Stir Fry Beta 12 for several weeks now.

Just came back from vacation, Battery lasted 9 Days!!! No Joke. Light usage, some phone calls, allways on standby even by night, NO airplane mode, checked my emails on wifi several times, maybe 30mins Wifi surfing and 10 min youtube video.

Usually battery lasts 3 days with daily use, reading news while commuting and in between, some phone calls, etc...
[Blade General] k0zmic:
You should try N152 onwards, maybe the latest N160. Battery life seems better for me now on CM7 however it's probably not as good as GSF still but it;s worth a try if you like the CM features.

zte blade, cyanogenmod 7-08112011,andr 2.3.5

if i calling, after 30-40sec screen is locked automaticly. I want to end the call if I have to first unlock the screen and the power button until the end the call. it is a lot of impractical, da way around this? in the settings I could not find anything ...

I have another problem that if in a mode where I can dial the number, so when I had the LG Optimus One, so that I also searched name on the list, ZTE blade number and shows a list of whatever ...

tHx for help

[Blade General] k0zmic:
Under call settings try select Keep Awake for Longer.

Use a Dialer like GoContacts or Dialer One.
[Blade General] xmdroid:
Actualy the kernels in cynogenmod are moded as you may know,this causes a batery drain because the cpu needs more power to run at a higher frequency,this is a very normal thing, but very frustating for us,there are a couple of nightly builds that actualy have a good batery life even when gaming :) check out the cynogen forums for the zte blade.
[Blade General] pcwifi:
I dont found it in CM7 switch from a qwerty keyboard on an ordinary, yet only 12 buttons ... will be greater in settings is not nothing, it's a lot wrong and it discourages me from using CM7 ... commonly used is unrealistic keyboard buttons are too mini for me ... is any stable ROM that has this right?

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plasmamuffins:
It's the stock unlock slider, and for some reason lately it keeps killing itself after a few unlocks. The only way I can fix it is if I enable pattern unlock and then disable it, but that only works for about 20 minutes. If I lock my phone at night, in the morning all I have to do is tap any button and it'll wake to the homescreen bypassing the lockscreen. Is there anything I can do to stop this?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Are you using a task killer?

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyguns818:
I'd make a nandroid, then wipe cache and dalvik in recovery and reflash your current rom/setup. Let the phone completely reboot.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plasmamuffins:
I shall do that and let you know if it worked. Thank you.

No go...I'm going to have to do a fresh install
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
After a lot of work and testing Lacuna 3.0 by myself and Trekfan is reborn as Lacuna 42.

You can view a video review of the theme by actionboy here

This theme is released as is, there will be no significant updates to it following this release.

I will however offer a service whereby if you are willing to make a donation I will help tailor the theme to suit you, changing layout, adding additional weather detail, adding additional pages etc.

I have given up a lot of time to produce this theme following its original concept by trekfan who has gone the way of the little green robot so if you like my work and cannot donate at least please say thankyou so I know my work is appreciated and I will continue to come up with new ideas for as long as there is a need.

This Throttle Launcher theme requires version 1.2.1 to be installed and supports full screen 480x800 wallpaper in jpg format.

The homepage from top to bottom features :

a hideable interactive taskbar.

to activate/hide press on the battery icon.

you can toggle the bluetooth wifi and sound profile from the taskbar by just pressing them.

two sizes of clock accessible from the throttle config window.

next appointment accessible by pressing on the clock itself.

the blue icon to the right of the clock is programable

you can assign any quick launch app to through throttle config

notifications for new texts missed calls and emails

current weather condition icon complete with temp and location

app launcher page activated by pressing the icon in the bottom right when on the homepage

The friends page starts with your favourite contacts followed by and add and remove option followed by a full list of all remaining contacts.

The text page shows the last 20 messages recieved with the newest at the top.

The messages page shows similar for a specified email account.

CHANGELOG :

03 June 2011 :

Due to Google screwing with their weather api I have had to modify the theme to use the current condition text instead of the originally numbered icons from the registry. There are several new conditions for which I do not have icons so I have for now recycled existing ones. When a fuller set is made available I will update again.

Please download and enjoy.
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
The below screenshots will show you in detail what can be changed in the theme via throttle config.

Screen 08 & 09 show the default programs catagorised under Objects.

The majority of settings don't really need any explanation

the clock size is either normal or large

If you change the default sms app from tmail please untick sms default

do not change sms param as this is required by ther program

only one mail account is used in the theme so ensure only one is selected

Screen 10 Weather

Here you can specify the location

units in centigrade or fahrenheit

autoupdate if required should be ticked

if autoupdate is required please provide a period in minutes for the update to be performed

Screen 11 Background / Text

The select path option is used to specify wallpaper.

There is an initial choice of two dark and one light background in the default folder where the theme is installed.

The Background colour is used to specify either lgiht or dark by selecting

0 for dark or

255 for light

The font colour should then be set to the opposite.

under no circunstances should you change anything in the section Here Be Monsters as it will cause the theme to break.

[Windows Mobile Themes] actionboy:
Did u watch on my wallpaper i posted you? I think this is TL problem, but in other devices it is not problem, si idk. I just have to use the one color wallpaper.

Anyway, i love Lacuna :p
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
I thought I had replied to you on the development thread, it is the same for me and I cannot understand why when other more complex wallpapers I have used since all work fine. It is something odd with the blending between the black and blue?

And thankyou for your kind comments :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] actionboy:
I tried blend between the red -black, but there are stripes too, anyway, i found nice wallpaper and it made lacuna more awesome for me :cool: So stripes aren't problems for me anymore :p. (I finally see the top bar transparent :D)

But, if I wanna let this theme on mobile, it should be more "settings friendly". What I mean? I mean, if I want connect to net via wifi, and in my location isn't only one wifi signal, i have to go to menu, scroll down to windows/samsung setings and there i can connect wifi where I want. So, what about do it like this: If u touch wifi on/off in top bar, it will be on/off wifi, but if u hold that icon for a while, it will launch wifi settings :D. Do I want a much? I know, it have to be usable on every phone, but owners can redirect it to their own locations (i mean the scripts)

I know I am annoying
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
Your not, your request is valid but there is no long press in TL see here.

I could change things so it will either toggle or open an action but that would require a major rewrite :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] pablo_hp:
Hello,

Have anyway to put an youtube video about this theme?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
I dont have a way of recording it myself no but if there is anyone that can please PM me and I will send you my email address so you can send me the video to upload.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tmessy:
nice theme

love the theme, so sick.. but when you go to send a text and have to deploy the keyboard, TL always has to reset! major flaw cause some of the TL themes are so cool, just NO stability
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
Sorry to hear that, I wouldnt be using TL if it did that myself.

Are you using the latest version 1.2.1 from within the TL forums?

Also are you using the theme as a today plugin?

If you are try disabling it and running as standalone.

Of course, it could just be an issue with the rom you have been using if all the above is correct.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tmessy:
yes 1.2.1... and if i use it as a today plugin, it has to restart, and if i use it as a standalone, the "unnexpected error please try running again" pops up
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
hmmm? hardware acceleration disabled?
[Windows Mobile Themes] tmessy:
no, it just doesnt want to go in landscape mode, i have a TP2...
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
This is a portrait only theme and if hardware acceleration is enabled, try disabling. It isnt needed for this theme anyway
[Windows Mobile Themes] tmessy:
no i know its a portrait only theme, just when i go to slide my phone keyboard out to text, it puts my text program into landscape cause it has to, then i send and close the keyboard then exit out of the text program to find its restarting.. i even tried messing with the regedit to make my phone never go into landscape mode, but its a pain and no fun and eventually fails
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
I used to have a wizard and a kaiser and this didnt happen on either device when the keyboard was deployed. This is either a rom or phone specific issue. Afraid I can't help with that sorry.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tmessy:
yeah no its all good... there needs to be a way where there really isnt a landscape mode it just projects on the landscape screen the same way it would on the portrait way, it would look CRAPPY but still be able for you to do it...

and like this theme and the wp7 v2 fireslave, its cool cause of the seperate messaging hubs, i like that ALOT! and CHT doesnt really have that, and im trying to get someone to make that.. i cant code anything or do all that jazz
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
That is actually a good idea, creating the default landscape pages using the same code as it would stop it from crapping up when people use autorotate.

looks like there may well be a v2 coming soon
[Windows Mobile Themes] zofox:
hi, can you explain how to install this theme, becouse I have installed the program but i don't know where i have to put the files :) thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] actionboy:
Just put the Lacuna42 folder into: Program files/ThrottleLauncher/setups

Then u have to choose lacuna in TL theme menu
[Windows Mobile Themes] zofox:
thanks I will try :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
can you please try replacing the existing config.xml with the attached ( make a copy of original first;) ) this doesnt actually rotate the theme but I am hoping it will stop it from throwing up errors. Haven't got time to test at the moment myself sorry :o

EDIT modified config.xml didnt work and on attempting to edit for landscape ran into a whole day of disapointments so I think it is officially a portrait only theme now sorry

[Windows Mobile Themes] Trekfan422991:
nice work on android 7 dave... and i have to say... Lacuna is amazing too...

is the android 7 just a one page theme.. just links to start programs???
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
Thanks buddy, I wanted to get it it allworking properly and well before moving on ;)

re Android7 There will be more, that is just the start, anything that can be coded will be coded .....

*edit* actually I might release two versions a light - pick your favourite apps for actions version and full including coded pages for anything that can be coded
[Windows Mobile Themes] actionboy:
I am for full version :D (I'm trying 1st beta, and if i touch BT icon, it always start BT and wifi too ;) - i know, just beta ;))
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
yeah that was a minor oversight :o fixed in next beta which will be on its way to you complete with first coded page (gallery - because its easy)

will add a second post to the theme for user contributed skins etc actionboy if you want to send me the modification i can add it to the zip to make it part of the original release or keep it separate, its up to you :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
hahaha i asked for that but I thought you might have at least read the thread first. this theme is provided as is and is meant to be minimal, there is an option however to select your own wallpaper and change the context of the theme to suit either dark or light backgrounds through the throttle config (see post #2)

Lolz Sorry Man Did Not Test the Theme Properly. But Still you Can use Some of the Ideas! Btw Really Appreciate Your Efforts

Umm I dont have any weather icon in lower left.I reinstalled twice but still no use.Could you tell me what can possibly be the problem.Also on first install it doesnt set the default lacuna wallpaper.No wallpaper black background as if it cant read the images.
[Windows Mobile Themes] alecoddlyiv:
See the change log for 31/05 for the Android7 theme here.

I will need to rewrite the graphic images for the weather in order to correct this for Lacuna 42 also.

Possibly tomorrow, maybe not until next week

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevlwf:
After flash with Coredroid V6, all my google contact automatically sync into the phone contact. This could consume more space to the phone and it could generate many many duplicate contact each time we sync it.

Previously I was using Coredroid V5.4 and other ROM, this issue won't happen. Could anyone fix this issue? Thank you.

Regards,

Steven:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cementboy:
I assume you've disabled contact syncing in Settings> Accounts and sync and long pressing on your google account?

If you have, then I suspect it's a ROM specific issue.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevlwf:
Previously, even I put auto sync, it wouldn't sync the google contact to the phone contact.

When I first use the DHD, I safe all my contact to the phone contact and it duplicate alot of contact everytime I turn on auto sync. That why now, I safe all my contact to google instead of phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncbc:
try this: enter Setting->Account and Sync, choose your GG account, uncheck Sync Contact.

Hope it helps :)

[Vega Android Development] Zebwen:
It is a mix of all 3. SDK, Transformer and Xoom. I took a few libs from the Xoom, as well as a ton of stuff from the Adam Transformer port and the SDK files factored in too. It's kind of a Frankenstein-monster effect going on :P Changed the title to reflect this! :P
[Vega Android Development] mintvilla:
Cool, great work. Am pretty certain the source will actually be released soon. Googles i/o is on tuesday and am sure this is when they are gunner announce or hopefully release the source for honeycomb, or possibly icecream, which will be a mashup of gingerbread and honeycomb am sure.

i'd be surprised tbh!

I was under the impression from Advent we would be getting 2.3 and the source code has been out for quite some time and still nothing. yet you can get a CM nightly which is 2.3.4.

Unless they've had access to the H/C as a vendor and been working on that but some how i doubt it :S

I don't know how they do it but Opera Mobile is so smooth in scrolling no matter what else is going on or the page loaded. I hate Opera on anything else but for the Vega it makes browsing really nice. I wish they would give it a better way of managing tabs and viewing your speeddial page. If they release a Honeycomb version or tweak it a little I'd never look back on my Vega.

The stock browser is ok for most things but suffers slowness on some sites with stuttery movement when scrolling around. I don't know what it is but a site like this with mainly text can have horrible scrolling and then an image heavy site can be almost as smooth as Opera.
