[Xperia Arc Android Development] P900:
The battery consumption is compared to the original Rom, which I have previously used enormous. Otherwise 27 hours to 30% and now only 12 hours ...

Sorry for my English...;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] av4tar:
In regards to the battery drain!

since FXP Cyanogenmod was released ive flashed the updates etc and been running on 043 now for a week and each day iv used the arc till its dead, charged it up 100%, used it etc etc etc and still the battery wont last a full day even when set to 2g!

I took my sim out yesterday as i needed my phone to last all day while at work and today the battery has used 67%mobile standby, 33% mobile idle and is sat on 90% battery left! so its something to do with the data connection?

So, have i missed something, followed the guides to the letter, flashed and re-flashed incase! some people are reporting great battery life and some are not :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
I couldn'd find an answer to my questions "if live wallpaper has been taken out on FXP044?"

Does anyone know how to make it work again or its only my phone?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
Yes it's been taken out I guess because even I don't have it on my phone...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Thank you for confirmation. I tried to restore it through TB but its sort of broken since it doesn't let me install my wallpaper + market says that my phone is not compatible. any solution? I am sure that wasn't the issue for battery drain as my phone still drains battery like crazy...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Well... if it's any consolation (although I'm quite sure it isn't)...

You guys aren't the only ones with drain issues. I'm losing 12-13% in 7h overnight, although the phone stays in DeepSleep (according to CPU Spy), with data off, but WiFi on (Arc S, FW .42, FXP044).

And I know for a fact that it has nothing to do with my apps, since a HTC Desire with the same setup loses only 3-4% in the same period...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kyraa:
Turn of 3G and you'll lose much less as far as I could figure it out. Turning of 3 G will greatly reduce battery consumption.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Thank you, but I've tried that already. The drain is mostly the same, with either 2G (GSM only) or 3G (GSM Auto PRL).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] diegast:
About the batterydrain: is it possible that because of increased performance on 3G and Wifi range in the CM7 rom, that batteryconsumption has increased equally or more......??

Also: when setting wifi to never go asleep, it still does and so when screen is of for sometime its on 3g network........ This wasn't the case on stock rom. And I'm practically sitting next to my wifi-router in my livingroom.... :-$

Gonna try CPU spy and figure out if it connects with data or not......

[....Send by Tapatalk....]
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Umm... what increased performance/range of WiFi? With the stock ROM my phone connects at 65Mbps, but with FXP I get only 54Mbps. And I haven't seen even the smallest increase in range (the strength bars go down at the same distances from my router, compared to stock).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
hy fxp

what about Rom Manager, do you will be modify him in near future for xperia phones support?

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] diegast:
My Wifi range looks a little bit increased, but not much... I just guessed that it might improved.......

Just my 2 cents...

[....Send by Tapatalk....]
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
speaking of Wifi. Even I set it to "Never" get disconnected but my wifi will disconnect anytime my phone is off. I guess the setting doesn't work anymore?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] steryman:
Sorry if already asked but how can I fix WiFi Error? I get Error when tapping WiFi to turn it on, and it won't turn on showing Error. Using Doomkernel for FXP044 with the FXP044 Update zip and .42 FW, tried wiping Dalvik and all user data/cache
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
use provided kernel and wifi will work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sWiftyious:
I did a backup of my stockrom with clockwork recovery after unlocking bootloader, then installed this.

Now i wanted to get back to stock, but when i restore the backup with clockwork, the handy gets stuck on the Sony Erricson-Logo.

Does someone have an idea how to fix that?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:

If I have the rom up and running without radio issues even tho I flashed from the latest lt15i fw and not from the "required" lt18i Rom, is there then any reason to put in the extra effort and flash the lt18i one?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
Not a 100% sure, but I think it's a matter of flashing a kernel that works with the stock rom after restoring
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sWiftyious:
thanks!

i flashed Doomlords-Kernel and now it is working, but now i cant update the phone with the Update-Tool. How do i get the stock kernel back?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
Can't help you there, glad the first step worked, have never considered going back from cm7, but maybe it's easier to flash all at once using flash tool? Never tries tho so afraid that I can't help you
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SXUsr:
Flash a stock ftf file.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] steryman:
Yea um.. okay I was minding at it but actually I patched Doom's kernel to work on my 0% battery problem phone... because I couldn't find provided kernel source(I need it to add bazoocaze's battery patch so it can run without keeping the phone in charge).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
if u patching ur own kernel then u should clearly mention this...

my kernel (for CM7) has the wifi modules integrated in ramdisk which gets pulled by the init.d scipts.... so wifi works fine on my kernel...

P.S.: sources are at github
[Xperia Arc Android Development] steryman:
That's strange because I modified only the kernel, not the ramdisk... I decompressed your boot.img with racer kitchen, kept the ramdisk, modified the kernel from your source and then creating the boot.img.. So the ramdisk is clean, not modified... And yes I know it works fine because I used it before. Oh and I'm patching your kernel :D About the sources, I've been talking about FXP
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sWiftyious:

Ah! Thank you, I guess the kernel update is the only thing concerning arc then, too bad... Was hoping that the flashlight would stop spassing and that the autohbacklight bug would be fixed :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Istvan_86:
Hello, I have a little question. Actually I am on FXP044, the question is, can I save the update.zip on SD and install it via recovery?

If I can do this, is a full wipe necesary?

Thanks a lot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
Not 100% here, but as the change log states the kernel has been updated I think you also have to flash that, but just make a titanium backup, try installing without wiping, if everything is fine, then congratulations, if not reboot wipe data and restore the titanium backup so you have all your apps including settings of the apps, I usually don't take backup on system settings as it only takes like 15 minutes to restore them
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Yes u can save that zip and install via recovery.... no need to wipe data if u were on same rom (fxp cm7)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Istvan_86:
Ok, really thanks DoomLord for the quick reply.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vitrum202:
guyz how i can solve display problem( i mean hitting the space in keyboard in landscape mode or close notification bar in landscape mode)? i'm on fxp45, just flashed (kernel+rom), i was hoping that this prob was solved in this release... sry if it's just been writen, but is becoming a very long thread ;) btw ty FXPteam 4 ur awesome work ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vintiem:
I use landscape in 180degrees mode. No keyboard issues at all.

In 270 degrees spacebar isn't optimal functional.

Kind regards,

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DerEineDa:
On the newest stock rom (at least on the arc s, maybe on other models, too) SE introduced this nice new swype-like keyboard. I really like it. So two questions:

Can this new keyboard be ported to FreeXperia?

I am not using FreeXperia at the moment. I know that I lose the DRM-keys when unlocking the bootloader, so apps like TrackID won't work ever again. I can live without TrackID, but will the keyboard still work when switching back to stock ROM? I mean: Does the new keyboard by SE need those DRM-keys or will it still work even after unlocking?

I hope someone can answer this.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
So, I got no explanation after all.... I think I'll be switching back to stock until this becomes stable. CM caused me too much trouble... and the battery drainage is too high....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
Battery drainage? I currently have 12.5h with data and wifi on and more now at 60%, that's as good as stock as far as I can remember, and 18% is drained by phone calls... Screen has been on for 1h
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kurogana.inc:
the photo gallery has a bug in FXP045, some fotos when you tap to see, it shows another photo from another album, its is messed, solved installing quikpic from market...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Had that happen to me a couple of times. After a reboot, there would be a sudden drop in battery percentage (15% once, 20-something% second time).

No idea what caused these drops... maybe the device was adjusting the battery stats to correct levels?

But this was with FXP044, I didn't have any with 045... yet!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kurogana.inc:
haha very strange, you tap a photo it shows another, and if you zoom, it zoom the photo you tapped, hahahah, like, I choose a wallpaper, then the gallery shows me a photo from my camera (my dog), when I zoom to se my dog's face, the image change, come back to the wallpaper and zoom it, rsrsr
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rafuru:
Download an app like SdCheck for sync your SD.

It's a problem that occours certain times when you are flashing or modding your phone.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
Keyboard will work on your stock rom after you come back from CM7...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hjalte81:
Hey there...

First of all, great job. It's fantastic that you guys want to spend time and energy making roms and give them away for free... Gotta love that...

I tried the FXP42 build and was in general very happy with it. But there was a problem with the video recording. Every minute or so, the video would freeze for a second...

Is that still the case in FXP45?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FireEye:
can someone help me? after i installed the cm7 i tried to flash the lt18i ftf file from here and it made the phone stuck on SE boot loop. so i tried to do the second step again (reinstall the kernal + updates) but it made him stuck on free xperia project logo.

what to do?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PAVNEET101:
Can some one explain how to install the official cm7 rom ?? and whats the difference between this one and the original one ??? and .....i tried to install the official one its makeing the phone rebbot after 20 secs of turning on ?? can some explain

My Wifi doesnt work, I started fresh with FXP44 and then updated without wipe to FXP45.

The wifi did not work right from 44. Is there a fix or is it just me?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] taaviu:
I think your google backup restore data messed up your wifi.

Your not first person with thiskind problem. ;)

Try fresh flash without google restore backup setting.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
How could you overwrite that Google Backup? If I do a fresh install and turn "Google Backup" off from the beginning and after installing everything fresh and enter all information, would that overwrite the old one.

My Google back up has been acting retarded since early FXP, still looking for solution.

Thank you, and the second thread is outdated since fxp is now ahead of the official stable, 7.1.0.2 has problems with vibration and was released simultaneous to fxp043, stick with fxp045.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SXUsr:
To try and give a better answer, I don't believe there is any significant difference because CM7 for our phones comes from the FreeXperia Team which is why it's best to download it from here as it's guaranteed to work. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] taaviu:
YES. After that manuali switch autosync and contacts and email sync on.

If you are using stock or something another rom and goes cm7 then ALWAYS your google restore backup data mess up something :)

I have been noticing a screen issue on FXP 44 and 45. When you tap the app drawer button, top of my screen shows weird line in white. Has anyone else experienced the same thing? same thing when you go out of app drawer.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i am using LauncherPro.... dont get any such issue...

are u using some theme? it could be theme related...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
actually its fresh install of FXP45 without anything added. Not even using anything backed up.

in FXP44, they were line of white a few of them on top for a second not its more like a white box comes for a second. Its not noticeable if you have a white background because its only for a half a second.

Can't send files via bluetooth (not even from astro)

I noticed something... In CM settings under Notification power widget... In the Button order... I can only drag and drop an item on the first place of the list... I'm guessing that is a bug? Because I should be able to drop it anywhere in the list...

Btw, it works like that for every drag-and-drop-an-item kind of list. :\

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:

Can't wait for the FXP46, certainly there are some good fixes in this one. Wifi, vibration and Live wallpaper....

Just intalled FXP45 couple days ago and man, it sucks the battery out of the phone. 10% per hour without doing anything extraordinary.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] add2005:
Last 10 pixels doesn't work in landscape. No touch recognized.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vintiem:
can confirm, yesterday 10pm battery 65%. now 8am Arc turned off because of empty battery.

1installed app, APNdroid. No auto sync, no WiFi on only 3G. But I always have this setting and this didn't happend before.

Hope this will be fixed:)

What was it that drank all your battery? Which process? (you can check under about phone in the settings menu)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
Wow, even the recharge curve seams "wrong"... What made the end of the discharge so steep? Haven't seen that
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
CM always sucked my battery like crazy, but with the latest version it goes around 20% per hour if I use my phone. It was around 12% with stock, for comparison. It's really insane. And it shows some apps are draining my battery like crazy even though I used them for like 2 minutes max. and they are not running anymore, so it can't be.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] martin132014:
i notice that the default cm7 camera camcoder when taking a video...the video in hd seems fine but the sound that recorded is lag behind the the actual video record...in stock rom its all seems fine....can it be fix later in the update...or can it be fix at all..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Cell standby eats the most. I didn't even use my phone yesterday and it was on WIFI all the time. By the end of the day I went below 15% which is totally abnormal for me since I am not a heavy user. Even usually with phone call and other stuff, the worst so far been 20%. Of course smart phone eats battery....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
Yes, but I mean something must have triggered the speed last part of the curve, I wonder what, but I guess battery life will become better and better, after all cm is relatively new on the arc, mine doesn't drain that much thou
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vintiem:
speed down of the curve when I was sleeping. No active use of any service set by me.

batterydrain isn't overall a real problem cause I charge every evening. But the problem is that this happen unexpected and that is something I can't count on with my daily work.

kind regards,

Vintiem
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
even though wifi fix is promised in FXP046 but I thought I should report this anyways. My phone is in sleep(screen is off) and I am close to Wifi....then I turn screen on, and phone is connected to 3G instead of Wifi....I am very close to Wifi and settings it to "NEVER" turn wifi off.

My phone is in deep sleep and in 47 minutes it has eaten 6% of my battery. No crazy app or anything running. I think this is worse than FXP044. Next release hoopefully is tonight and I can't wait.

I haven't installed it thou, I went to cm7 straight from the first 2.3.4 update and have so far been fine (installed from cyanogen official website and ironically enough it didn't say anything about what the xda thread claims to be a requirement)

Going to install it if I ever have a related problem.
