PLEASE Question for mike or whoever else can answer

I am trying to get to bottom of battery drain. Your roms are awesome but battery drain has only been occuring for me on recent versions of arhd 4.1.x. I can't remember manually calibrating battery all the time with earlier flashing and didn't suffer battery drains. I think the double calibration might be the issue

So questions are

1. Is your auto calibration script enough, I.e. whilst phone (turned on) is charging after flashing

2. If I charge my phone after flashing whilst it is off till green will your script activate?

3. Either way for 1or2 does the fact that you superwipe, flash rom automatically read what is the accurate charge in the battery at the time of flashing?

Since I love your roms, I have flashed so many times I can't remember what I used to do. My phone is charging whilst off at the moment and I am ashamedly posting from my iPad
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
1) Yes

2) No, you must wait for 100% then wait for some more, upto an hour is usually long enough

3) Irrelevant, what happens is once no current is being drawn into the battery (i.e. true fully charged, not just a 100% on the display) then all battery stats are wiped and built-up again from scratch

[HTC Sensation] katiepea:
am i reading things right or getting confused? sorry i've searched around trying to get the answer but can't really find it. i just upgraded to 4.1.7, been a while since i updated, everything is fine, just looking around for mods, found apm and beats, haven't found extra settings, and i'm seeing an 'all in one' that includes 'rotation animation' ? is that what i think it is? an animation for screen rotation? i didn't know that was possible, and i can't really seem to find it, except the all in one, but i don't want a themed status bar... thanks in advance.

edit nvm, i didn't read his post enough, i see there's one with no theme, sorry guys
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Yes it is a screen rotation animation. You can download the all-in-one without the themed status bar. It's in the same post on the bottom, see the link in my sig :). I have it from another user, but also bundled with crt-animation, so I can't offer it as single download.
[HTC Sensation] akamustang:
The rotation animation is from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18478212#post18478212

No-one has bothered to create a rotation without CRT, so it's either both or neither for now

Hello to all Battery Jumper ;-)

I tried yesterday to uninstall BMW, after that I charged the battery to 100% and wiped battery stats.

Today the same problem again, I was at 57%, made a reboot and was at 21%.

Now I am at 9% BUT with 3,70V (read from GPS Status). My Phone is with 100% at 4,2V and shuts off with 0% at 3,35V.

So 9% at 3,7V cannot be right!!

[HTC Sensation] katdog75:
I installed 3.6.7 on Monday and I had run into this very problem 3 days later. Battery was awful and I couldn't get a signal even though my husband who was on the same network was sitting beside me completely fine. Checked all my connectors on the cover and they were ok. All my network settings looked ok. I eventually had to do a nandroid back up. I thought I was the only one so I didn't report it...
[HTC Sensation] ahassouna:
Mike will there be an update soon?
[HTC Sensation] biojo:
mike i know u have the battery auto calibration script for when we first update rom. Is there any way we can start it back up for when we change kernels?

either manually or through a install zip?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
You can go into recovery and find "wipe battery stats". That's all the calibration script does.

Or, you can get "Battery Calibrator" from the market and use that.

Easy Peasy.

The last update was few days ago :eek:
[HTC Sensation] the_real_fosgate:
Update:

It is very funny ...

with 7% ~3,68V I rebootet in Recovery there the battery was at 10%.

Then I powered off the phone, WITHOUT charging!

After 20 Minutes I powered on again, direct in recovery. Now the battery was at 40%. I reboot normaly my battery is at 31% :-))

What's the best profile on daemon controller for latest faux's beta kernel?
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
i have had big battery issues too.

i'm just testing the theory that after flashing a rom, use the phone, and let the battery just die.

then i have let it charge whilst it is off. it has taken ages (3hrs) but has eventually turned green so i will leave it for a bit more b4 unplug and use as normal (i'm hoping that it took so long because of previous false calibration)

i will not manually calibrate as i want to see if mikes auto calibration script works by itself.

i have previously tried all sorts of battery calibration and battery stats wipe but am not convinced they work as guess what - they didn't and kept give me huge drains that i had not experienced before.

will let you know. btw i have not installed any battery widgets. it's just standard stock battery, stock charger and mikes script.

if i am right, then my battery is now properly calibrated after a lengthy orange led period and then 1hr on green. if all is good it shouldnt jump anymore and subsequent charges should take it up to it's properly calibrated amount.

btw this could be a load of rubbish that i just wrote but it's worth giving a go as everything else has come up a fail

[HTC Sensation] marvelspires:
go to my last experience:

Faux Revolution + (original and beta 5) = 100% 7am, no use (Disconnecting 3G, Wi-Fi off, standby only) 13pm 75%

Revolution + bricked 1.5 = 100% 7am, off 3G and Wi-Fi on and connected, standby to... 95% 13pm

Now I'm happy, no logic, only I have had this problem.
[HTC Sensation] leeskywalker:
Yes I also checked the connectors,cleaned the case and made sure all the pins were sticking up still nothing. I never thought I'd say this but I'm going to a different Rom maybe insertcoin I have been using arhd for ages now but the last 5 or 6 updates on both bases (xe and sense 3.5) have been awful for me no end of little problems that just built up to a major annoyance. I remember when custom roms used to improve my phone performance and battery life not make it worse , and the fact that me reporting a few issuses I've had have gone completely ignored makes me sad , I help anyone I can on this thread. I wish arhd team the best and hope they can work these problems out but for me at the minute I just want my phone to be reliable and I'm just not getting that here :(
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
dont give up! just had a fully charged phone. went to do a nandroid and phone lost 20%

doesn't make any sense right!

took battery out, put it back in. boot and battery back up to normal level.

seems like something to do with the way apps, phone understands the battery level rather than an actual depletion of battery.

testing out more options now. but persist! take your battery out and restart phone - tell me what happens!

[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Unfortunately sensation battery doesn't. But I really cannot complain anymore. My phone runs more than 24 hours with faux and nearly 32 hours with bricked kernel (of course with my usage profile which very basic, your experience may vary).

So that's not a problem for me anymore.

The jumps of the battery readings do get on my nerves though. But just because they are a nuisance. All in all we've come a long way with sensation. Some weeks ago we had a much less fast and stable phone.

In my eyes the only remaining problem area is kernels. But that would be not such a big problem if the kernel devs would concentrate more on stability than on adding more and more exotic features with each release. We hardly get final releases anymore but jump from beta to beta. I hope that now that the relevant kernel sources are available to the devs that situation might settle a bit.

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

As Kohr-Ah said, b6 is the latest. I only installed it this morning, so I can't say much about battery yet. But it's stable and fast.
[HTC Sensation] smartamazing:
@Kohr-Ah...Hehehe thanks but how come its the latest Am I wrong when I did say 2.6.35 on mike's rom or is it 2.1+ is the right one on mike's rom?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Well Mike's ROM is already 3 days old, Kernel Beta's arrive on a nightly basis. So we are already 4 betas further...

But I'm not Kohr-Ah...
[HTC Sensation] smartamazing:
@jotha....Thanks again can I ask do I need to wipe cache and Delvik Cache as well before I will flash that latest kernel by Faux?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
AFAIK it does that by itself.

I wouldn't think it's necessary if you just switch from one beta to another, but better safe than sorry. I do it always when I flash ANYTHING. Just makes the first boot after flash a tad slower, so what ;)

[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Different ways to UV. The link in my sig installs a init.d file. You can add a line for UV to the init.post _boot.sh file. Or you can do it via a controller like fauxclock or systemtuner.

If you use the link in my post just mount /system in recovery then flash.

Battery it isn't like I got hours and hours but it helped a bit. Maybe an extra hour for me on stock battery.

Different people have different results but -25 was fine for me :) I dunno defaults though

We still don't have kernel source for 2.3.5 so that's part of the problem.

When the Voltage is at 4,2% it can not show 100%. Should I reboot at 4,0V?

[HTC Sensation] InquisitiveG:
Things were going quite well in first 3 battery cycles, then in 4th I was getting quick drain (about 5%/hour when before it was <2%) so I decided to try latest faux 2.b6 kernel. After a couple hours I couldn't get gps lock then when waking up phone the screen froze then went black. No response even to power vol up & down etc so had to pull battery. Can't afford to have lockups so I flashed bricked 1.5. Will see in a few days if any better.

Battery calibration shows you when to calibrate with a sound. I reach 100% and calibration time around 4.212, sometimes at 4.15. If you choose to reboot before, then don't calibrate. Just reboot and start calibration program again. You know with those battery jumps you could be at 80% after reboot.

ok ... I´m at 54% now 4071 mV :-(

I got a weird problem..its happened twice randomly. I'm in the htc music app listening to music & without doing nothing it starts fast fowarding the song or starts skipping to different songs, starts the song all over or just stops playing music. I had to restart the phone which solves it until it it does it randomly some other time..anyone have an idea what it could be? My music is on my sd card & I'm on 3.6.7 Thanks
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
I have a working theory/fix for battery which is working for me. Do it now if you have problems or do it after you flash a Rom. Either way works.

So:

1 Disable fastboot in power settings

2 charge up your phone till green

3 calibrate by wiping battery stats in recovery mode (not from app)

4 make sure fastboot stays off and you will see that your charge holds every time you restart phone by any method whether power button or 4ext etc (this was inconsistent with fastboot enabled)

I think the problem is whatever app or system process that reads the battery is being corrupted by fastboot. The way you can check is if you are having large unexplained battery drops while fastboot is enabled, simply remove battery, reinsert and you reading will jump back up, I.e. another manual way of doing a normal boot

Fastboot appears to be culprit. Why? Don't know. Is it something to do with memory? Zram? Don't know.

Could some dev look into it but either way the above steps work for me!

Hope this helps

How long did you use your phone before installing ARHD and how much did you listen to music there? I'm asking, because this sounds like a problem of the HTC Music App, not so much of the ROM.

Ever since 3.6.7 came out.. well I use the htc music app alot. If I remember clearly it also has happened in previous arhd releases like once or twice. But it doesn't happen very often for now

Reporting back after a day with no BMW and the battery stil drops 24% with a restart. Rebooting again with charger connected restores the battery reading to normal.

[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
Still going strong with my method. Going to flash New faux kernel and see if theory holds.
[HTC Sensation] kayosinc:
My version of the review if I may:

My basic outlook for a custom ROM is higher performance than stock, deeper customisation and "stability". I have been using ARHD for over a month, the previous version (4.1.4)was pretty much stable, but found some bugs,

- the sense facebook chat widget used to hang randomly and that further led to restarting of HTC sense launcher, I just removed it from the screen and kept using other chat software.This widget is missing from the newer version

-the other bug was the heat that kernel generated, that was cured by flashing different kernel, ( switched to "briked" kernel), I never bothered flashing the thermal patch by faux.this heat generation problem is completely solved in the new version (4.1.7).

-The battery was no. good in previous version, (again I am admitting I did the battery stats wipe, but unfortunately was not able to complete the charging cycles as stated in battery saver thread), the new version is very battery friendly just out of the box. I am very happy with my battery life.My 3G is almost on for 24 hours, I play games minutes here , minutes there that sums for about an hour and a half of gameplay, listen to music for 4 hours, surfing accounts to 1.5 to 3 hours. Brightness of screen is kept full for the course of day.call minutes range from 30 to 40, and maybe a text or two , checking facebook and tweeter feeds is a hourly business.camera is also used on daily basis, just for fun or otherwise, which reminds me of the camera bug this (4.1.7 only) Rom has, it seems that whenever camera is on and screen is locked and unlocked again the phone probes to hang, the only option I would have at that time is to take out the battery. The way around it is never lock your phone when camera is active, first exit the camera and then lock it.Otherwise the picture result is fantastic just keep loving the sharpness and the clarity of it.

- the other bug that I found on 4.1.7 is that the dialer is that mail client and contact (people in HTC) is not working at all , I get a force close. Got around that.by using go dialer and go contacts and using yahoo mail application.
