The Radio Interface Layer is part of the ROM. So it would be better to ask which radio is the best for the RIL used in this ROM. From my experience, if a radio is used which is not fully supported by the RIL it can affect battery life.

There is a sticky thread in this forum with a very good tutorial...
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Yes, ril is part of the rom ... BUT you can also flash an different ril (when its to dangerous to flash an newer radio ...) ;)
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Newest Radio is ever recommended - on every GB ROM
[Desire Android Development] navien:
You´re right. But what´s the point changing the RIL (which can cause more problems from my experience) instead of using a recommended radio?

I'm using 32.56.00.32U_5.17.15.08 without any problems... (A1 / Austria)

@o$$!ram

Which radio(s) you recommend for your ROM?
[Desire Android Development] htc3htc:
ok that .23 radio
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Yes when you use an incmpaible ril to your radio version u cant make calls and so on ;) But then only flash another ril and all is workin again ... when you flash an wrong radio -> brick ;) So for me its "better" to play with rils then with radio ...

Always use the newest one (32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23)

I have the best battery life with this one ...
[Desire Android Development] Sephi:
So, uhm....what now? Change the RIL or the Radio? O.o Ossram, I thought you just said that you don't change the radio because of the brick risk. So 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 is a RIL?
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
What Radio you have installed? The risk of a brick is small - when you do what you should ;) So the best is always that you have the newest one ;)

32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 is the newest radio version ;)
[Desire Android Development] Sephi:
Where can I check that? Does it help with battery life? It's really strange that battery drainage is mainly be E-Mail and WLAN and phone standby...I installed a monitoring program for the battery and drainage is never under 50ma...
[Desire Android Development] navien:
My advice (like others mentioned before): install a stock rom and install nothing except battery monitor widget to measure the current when the phone is idle. with mobile data connection active only, your current should between 3-6ma. If not, change radio to newest one. if this also doesn't work - it´s your phone.

i would bet your problem is not rom specific and therefore *this* thread is not the right place to solve your issue.

smartass

Hi

then i start setcpu there is ondemand and not smartass should that not be smartass in setcpu to.

[Desire Android Development] marcinb24:
When can we expect 2.6?

Waiting for test DSP...
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Lock your screen -> wakeup and check again ;) Its an "bug" from andrev_oc ...

Edit: i saw youre using SetCpu ... andrev_oc dont starts when setcpu is installed, so deinstall setcpu and use the build-in oc tool.

@ marcinb24

when its done ... sorry, but im very busy at the next few days, so cant say when i get it finish ...
[Desire Android Development] Sephi:
Nah, it's lower, just 6am now, I confused it with the average I guess. Average is slightly below 50 now.

I know that's theoretically not the right thread but ossram was a nice guy helping me out all the time and other threads get ignored...so...I'd say, I leave the thread if Ossram wants me to go...that's fine then.

@Ossram

My Baseband Version is:

32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

And I should install this one?

http://download.oxygen.im/radios/bravo.5.17.05.23.zip

And flash it just like a normal ROM?

http://geekfor.me/faq/flash-radio/
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Exactly! This radio is known by and REALLY bad battery lifetime with sgbs (my bro also had this radio installed ...) So please try the newest one and report :)
[Desire Android Development] Sephi:
Nice! The huge drainage could be related to push e-mail always on mobile connection and wlan...I hope it helps. Will recharge, flash and report after it. :)
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
All being said&done, hope this does help. I know I've not been the most helpful, but still would be nice if this is the solution.

Have to say though that I always use (gmail) pushmail with mobile connection (G/3G/H). Not too often wlan. And I personally don't have this issue on my phone. But I also do know that Exchange pushmail in Sense Mail app is prone to difficulties with continual connecting & disconnecting. You can see this in Menu > Settings > Accounts&Sync > exchange email. Maybe it is a factor (exchange pushmail) on your phone?
[Desire Android Development] Sephi:
Yep, I use exchangeactivesync with googlemail and Push. So you think I should monitor the sync menu...? After all the Mail App is on top of the battery drainage list.
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
You should see it right away in the Sync menu. The sync icon of Exchange/Mail keeps sync-ing. Hard to explain, but it should be obvious right away...in my experience it did so every second or so! Weird behaviour and I experienced it everytime I try to use the Sense Mail app. So, each time I'm forced into using the Gmail app, or work without pushmail...and that's not an option. Hope this helps.
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
For gmail and so on use the apps - its better then all other ;) For REAL MS Exchange use the mail app - for me there i never an issue with it ... i also use pushmail but with an REAL MS Exchange server ... so the phone gets the signal to sync from the server (only when a mail arrives).

When you use imap or so then the mail app checks every second for new mails ... dont know why but it is :(
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Don't know if your reply is regarding my post, in that case you probably misunderstood....I did not use imap in Mail app...I used exchange...Google's m.google.com server. And when using this, then the problem with continual syncing *can* happen. Btw it only starts happening after you have deleted an email from within the Mail app...strange, but true. Google the problem and you'll find more info on this issue.
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Ah ok ... but also m.google.com isnt a real exchange/activesync server :p
[Desire Android Development] Sephi:
Hmm...I don't want to use two different mail apps though. The original one is nice. I'm also using m.google.com - any other solution to that?
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Hmm, imap!?
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
I know :) But it works just fine with the Gmail app that I use with any custom rom.
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
So, did you see the continual syncing issue on your phone or what??
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Yes ... but i think that gmail app is using imap instead of the activesync protocol.

Or im wrong!?
[Desire Android Development] Sephi:
I saw it synching quite often (without an email arriving), I wouldn't call it continual though. Does googlemail IMAP offer Push? I'd try this then...btw, I successfully flashed the radio Ossram uses. Let's if this helps...

My battery monitor is stating normal parameters btw...bit higher than before the radio flash currently. But I doubt the app is perfectly precise.

EDIT:

Here's another setup way for "true push" however I think it's quite complicated...

http://www.androidcentral.com/using-gmail-your-own-personal-push-mail-server
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Sounds like the problem I'm thinking about. No wonder your phone was dead within hours! I use Gmail app, setup with imap...I think. Normal initial setup when first rebooting phone after new custom rom flash. So just the email address and password basically.
[Desire Android Development] chichoko:
Thanks A TON for the guide mate! Now I know I dont need to sync my hotmail adress with the stock Mail app so it wont use any battery at all :D
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
Gmail uses imap idle.
[Desire Android Development] Sephi:
Uhm...yeah, no problem. ;D So is this solution better than m.google.com or imap google? What I don't get is how GMAil push is any different from the imap push. The Desire still needs to check the server, does it?
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
No, push means that email is pushed to your phone. If I understand it correctly that is :) I know this because the minute I receive a new email on my ipad (it uses push as well), then at the same time the new-mail ringtone on my phone goes off. There is never any delay, seconds nor minutes.
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Like the name "push" says: the server pushing the mails to the device ...

but thats not the topic of this thread ;)
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Nope, it still isn't...so are we keeping you from finishing 2.6? Just kidding of course ;) Very happy with 2.5...no issues whatsoever.
[Desire Android Development] Sephi:
So first report regarding the new radio. It definitly works fine with SGBS, can't say yet if batter life really is better:

I'm now down to 68% after 15hours. At least 8 hours of those are flight mode over night. WLAN was active the whole time. Display is the main battery culprit, Telephone "inactive" is right next to it. Then WLAN with about 18%, then Handset standby with 16%.

So I obiously don't know what thelephone "inactive" means, that's still pretty high. But I think handset standby is a little lower. So maybe the radio helped with that?

BTW, I used the music player yesterday for about 40 minutes. And had a short GPS test (works fine with new radio) so I guess 70% after 15 hours is ok...
[Desire Android Development] Hypercaine:
I have no problems what so ever. No force closes. I have about 3.5gb of music, and it's running fast and smooth. Battery life is pretty good. Uptime 6h and 10 minutes. 45%. I've been listening music for 2 hours, browsed the internet with dolphin hd, been on facebook and twitter.

As for video bug, haven't noticed it, cause I don't have any videos on the phone.
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Camcorder problem is known (i dont know that :D)

The "Effects FC" is fixed! Uploaded new v07 (Stock hboot only) - flash over current install.
[Desire Android Development] Hypercaine:
Like an update? Like I said, I didn't experience any force close. But, if it will make it more stable, why not :)

Like I wrote, i really like your rom. No fancy stuff. Just Gingerbread and Sense 2.1. 3.0 is cool, but those roms are very big, and Desire can't cope with them, regardless of memory card size. Internal memory is just not big enough.

Keep up the good work :)
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Flash like an update -exactly :)

This fix is only for "effects" in "album". All others where stable!

Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] cgmorris89:
Battery life update: 69% after 11h 22m with light-average use since my last post - been fiddling about, setting up syncs and the like, so I'm pretty impressed with the battery life so far :)
[Desire Android Development] marcelotorres:
Great Rom!

I'm using since yesterday, and want to use for a long time...

Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] axbilly:
Yes you're right. leedroid GB does not have this problem,I think its using sense 1 (HTCcam v2).
[Desire Android Development] qsmzgs:
I flashed stock/A2SD version, The "Effects FC" is fixed,But it appeared the problem calls FC,"com.android.phone" process stopped unexpectedly.
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Not for real? ouhman! ok ... i look :D
[Desire Android Development] wil3:
Unfortunately there is an issue with com.android.phone. Sometimes it closes unexpectedly. I'm not sure, but I think the problem occurs where phone is locked. Another thing is that when there is incoming call in lock mode I can't see who's calling - I have to unlock phone to see caller's id.

Last time I had "com.android.phone" FC when I tried to unlock phone while incoming call, however this happened once so far.
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Yes i know ... because this problems i take a2sd version down! Sorry for this problems :( I think its an problem with "framework.jar" - i hope i can fix all! :(
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Now i have a new release of the Stock hboot version: SGBS A2SD v08

Till now its only here linked - please test it ... for me it runs complety without FCs (phone, album, "dailer-lockscreen" are workin - the rest of course too ;))

Please test an give me feedback!
[Desire Android Development] shaked1:
Gonna try this.

Thanx Ram
[Desire Android Development] ninjaz:
This ROM is great. Fast and stable. CM7 version. I have one problem, maybe isn't ROM related, web Android market doesn't recognize phone and I can't install application trough web. Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] bliblablub:
htc sense closes itself very often :(
[Desire Android Development] wil3:
@ram, I'm downloading v08, gonna try it tonight

@bliblablub - which version? v08 or v07? Just curious.
[Desire Android Development] jokk3:
whats all the rosie stuff in \v08_a2sd.zip\data\app\ ?
[Desire Android Development] bliblablub:
v07 @cm7...
[Desire Android Development] wil3:
@ram, I flashed v08 a2sd, lockscreen works fine, this mean caller id appears when incoming call takes place, answering (and denial) using unlocker also works.

I had no FC of phone process so far, but I will confirm that tomorrow, after daily use.

By the way, is there a possibility to change the transition effect when getting back to home screen? I mean, now it's "fade" effect, AOSP Android has "zoom" effect - hope you know what I mean. I've seen such effect in old Reflex HD ROM, too (1.8, Froyo with Sense 2.1).
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Thats are Widgets from HTC Hub - thats left from ic ;)

I dont have Rosie restarts ... i dont know what it is ... because you are the only with this problem!? Have you tried the 1ghz zip?

Do the reboots after you get out of an app or just something?

Sounds great :)

Transition effect: i know what you mean ... but i dont know where to change :o
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
I also thinks so ;) Or much better then before ...
[Desire Android Development] htc3htc:
Hello

What news may we expect in the new ver. of sgbs :)
[Desire Android Development] htc3htc:
Nice, will you realease it to night?
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Dont think so ... till now only oxy version is ready ... so i must update stock version + cm7 version and then upload ... but tonight i dont have time ... i must work till ... dont know ;) and then its time for bed.
[Desire Android Development] N3m3515:
i have a small problem since 2.0 or so:

every now and then after a restart my calender widget (the sense one) disapears. i have to restart again to get it back. i cant add it from widgets menu because even there it is gone. is there someone with the same problem?
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Have wiped your phone since v2.0? Because i think with v2.1 or 2.2 there where some problems with some widgets ... so it can be that calendar also was in this problem ... and only an full wipe get it back to fully workin :(
[Desire Android Development] N3m3515:
i thought i had wiped since then but i will try that.

thanks
[Desire Android Development] Sephi:
BTW Ossram, I fixed my music skipping problem by changing the SD buffer (?) value to 1024 with speed increase...
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Yes, i read this ... good to know :)

what is the best way to callibrate the battery to get it right after flash your rom
[Desire Android Development] :
the best rom.

is possible % battery mod?
[Desire Android Development] N3m3515:
calibrating the battery is not nessesary. it can harm your battery. dont do it

[Desire Android Development] Sephi:
Now 19 hours over and battery is almost empty, it's at 16%. The last 60% were gone in a couple of hours. BUT I think that's the fault of the FB app which somehow activated itself when someone chatted with me. I closed the chat several times but it always popped up again. Any way to deactivate it besides deinstallation? Chat was active for about 2 hours, FB app is with 6% in the battery drainage list. Starting from 0% to get to 6% means it did take a lot of battery in just 2 hours I guess.
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
It's a start, however if I'm completely honest 19 hours is not very long. I would assume you would be able to get at least 24-36 hours. But maybe I'm being too optimistic in that regards?
[Desire Android Development] Sephi:
I really think it's the Facebok Apps fault. Idle -MA were around 150 to 250 instead of 5 to 15 while it was on, almost 3 hours...I'll do another fresh test after the next battery reload. However, you are completly right, it's still not great. But clearly not the roms fault regardin the MA stats from battery monitor. The new radio certainly was helpful for the telephone idle stats. BTW, handset is still up and running... ;) Now at 20 hours with an active time of more than 4 hours.
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Not too bad, I agree. Can be better. Have you taken a look at the connection-type? You know the one that can be found in the Menu > Wireless&networks > Mobile networks > Network mode.

A better way is by starting up the "phone" app...you know, the one you use to make phonecalls. Type in *#*#4636*#*# and you should see a screen with 4 options. Choose the top one "Phone information" and then scroll to the bottom. Click on network type and choose "gsm auto (prl)". This will force network connection to be disabled and re-enabled again.

After which the connection type in most cases will be easier on the battery usage.

Thank you! I'm afraid that code doesn't work though. Says wrong code. Double checked it...

In the normal connection menu I got "Only WCDMA", "Only GSM" and "GSM/WCDMA automatically".
[Desire Android Development] schalmers:
The code to enter to see the hidden settings is: *#*#4636#*#*

Notice the different order for last 4 characters.
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
My mistake, sorry 'bout that...as Schalmers says, the last 4 digits are the "other way around".

- Updated SuperUser Apk

sorry for the long time ;) :p
[Desire Android Development] pEzZi:
A big thanks !

Updated succesfully with wipe dalvik-cache. Just had to erase zipalign because it make dissapear some of my apps.
[Desire Android Development] abc001:
v2.6 works fine for me. I believe if we can reduce the brightness level set by auto brightness, it will be more battery saving! Good ROM.
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Yup oxy is just as fast as cm7. Only difference is more space for apps.

Man-o-man...just installed 2.5 and it's running like a dream and now you have 2.6 on offer. What to do...? Life is hard and very difficult sometimes :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Install v2.6 :p its even faster :D
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Sh*t...now you've done it! :) What do your recommend...full wipe of only dalvik cache, coming from 2.5?
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
only dalvik & cache
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Thanks a lot!

Edit : flashed...all's fine, as always :)
[Desire Android Development] xky1980:
I had 2.5 with wifi n patch installed, I've upgraded to 2.6 (deleting dalvik cache only) I must reinstall wifi n patch?

thanks.... great rom ;)
[Desire Android Development] marcinb24:
At 2.6 today after closing a few times the camera, the screen brightness is the maximum, you have to enter settings (where the brightness is turned off auto and set to the max).

I have to manually darken and turn on the auto brightness.

Done by installing the 2.6 "full wipe."

Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Yes, you must reinstall the patch.

Ähm what? The Cam had the same issues as ever!? And after crash auto brighness wont work!? And the only thing that helped was a full wipe?
[Desire Android Development] wska:
Man, this rom ROCKS, But the RTL patch for stock , isnt working.. it says bad file or something in the recovery ...

Please. i need a fix ASAP as im traveling, and wont be back for 10 days, and wont be able to use the PC . Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] wska:
Im out in 1 - 2 hours, Please i need the fix :)

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] o$$!ram:
Im at work ... so dont hurry :eek: i uploaded an new one ... try it
[Desire Android Development] marcinb24:
No, the problem with the brightness occurs at normal closing camera back button. Phone will not reboot. Now clear camera aplication in app. manager and so far not encountered a problem.

---

PS.Clear data app. camera did not help. Still after a normal exit from the camera sometimes is the brightness at max.

I'm going back to 2.3, the battery lasts a little worse but not bugs.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] wska:
Where is the new one O.o, i can't find it ?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
It was happening to me on my previous Sense rom, AuraxTremeGinger, so I think it is even HTC bug. And yes, if you could edit framework-res.apk to bring automatic brightness threshold under 30% you would save a lot of battery.
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
o$$!ram what data script does your rom use ? A2sd or D2sd ?
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
It's a2sd.
[Desire Android Development] marcinb24:
Extremely surprised, as after returning to SGBS2.3 after taking two photos after the exit to the desktop I had the brightness at 100% instead as in SGBS2.6.

I did a full wipe (delete user data + clear cash, Dalvik + format all partition on 4EXT2.1.0)literally everythingclear before installing, and 2.3 and 2.6 ...

So how come I did not have before so even at 2.3?

After installation, so it got 2.6 and now even after returning to 2.3?
