OK that definitely doesn't sound right... I get about 3 days with permanent data connection on at 1200 MHz (everything ondemand, additional profiles for screen off: 200-400), barely ever use WiFi though. If you don't use wifi (at all), but use data network instead (if your phone contract allows you to do that), how long does the battery last then?

How much do you use the phone? I occasionally read some stuff (like xda, news and the like) and make calls for I'd say 30 minutes per day. If you don't do significantly more (like fiddle with it for hours) there seems to be something wrong.

How long have you had it, could the battery be getting old already?

My phone is around 8 months old and i make calls for around 2 hours a day.And recently i just overcharged my phone battery as i slept connecting it to a charger.will that affect?

Made a call for 15 mins and battery down by 10%.

My stand by battery is very good but as i talk on phone it drops unacceptably.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] TheCreat:
No you can't overcharge the battery in the phone. There's a controller in there that shuts off the charging once it's full. It's a li-ion battery (like in modern laptops), it would basically explode if it would let you actually overcharge. So it's not possible, you can let it be connected to the charger for as long as you like, that's not an issue.

As for the age: mine is probably already about a year old, so that can't be it either, you'll have to ask dharamg3 or wait for him to reply to you, maybe he has some idea what might be causing it.

Do you have bad cell coverage? like only 1-2 bars? that could cause the phone to search repeatedly, draining power. What does the power menu say? It's under "settings -> about phone -> battery status" I think...

You can also try "PowerTutor" fro market (free). It will - when it's running - use quite a bit of power for itself, but it'll tell you which apps are using all that power. Start it and select 'start profiler', then let it run for a couple of hours and use normally, then go into the app and have a look what used all that juice ^^
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] prem0621:
Thanks.

I am trying that app.

And my network coverage is full all the time.

EDIT: tried the app. Didnt find any unusually high usage by any app.

Average power consumption : 671 mW

Battery voltage 3.78v

battery temp 33 deg. cel.

I hope it doesn't remove your attention from Galaxy 3..... ^_^
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] prem0621:
Hey dharamg3 please help me on this.

I dont use mobile data and only use wifi for an hr. But my phone's battery life is only 12-15 hrs and mainly battery drops after i make calls. And i am overvlocking upto 800mhz (ondemand) tried all the things changed kernels, changed roms. Tried battery calibration. But no change.

Please help.

Should i flash g3mod_cm6.2_v1.8_ultimate.tar or g3mod_froyo_v1.8_ultimate.tar ?

Whats the difference and which one is the fastest/most stable?

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] prem0621:
I think cm6.2 is for all those who are having the cynogenmod 6.2 rom.

Froyo is for all the other froyo roms.

About the screen shot: I meant the 'Battery use' entry, not the 'Status' entry. It should show bars for what uses the power (apps, but also display, wifi and 3g).

About the app: let it run for MUCH longer, preferably from the time you unplug until the battery dies! Might be a problem that hasn't occurred in the time you let it collect data.

Last time I used the Ultimate version, my phone heated up like crazy with insane hangs (no response), when I used :

temp>40 max 400MHz

rest of the time : ondemand 200-1000MHz

I tried reducing the latter to ondemand 200-800MHz, but with no gain.. The phone was still heating up and was pretty much unusable.

Since then ive been using the Lite version.

I want to try the OC kernel again, so could someone give me a nice set of setcpu profiles? And also guide me through any other settings that have to be changed..

I have a 1Gb SD card with no partitioning (from the box).

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ygerg:
I was messing around with the multiboot and got a soft brick :confused: So I had to reflash a ROM with ODIN, as the phone wouldnt boot any of them restored in the recovery. Has this occured to anyone else on 1.8? I have the extreme version if it's relevant...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kRishtalysis:
I just flashed v1.8 performance and no problems so far. One doubt though,

If I had already made sd card partitions (swap and app2sd) using CWM before installing G3MOD kernel, would I have to enable app2sd after flashing the kernel?

My Titanium Backup shows the app2sd partition correctly, but the G3MOD app by dympy shows app2sd is currently disabled!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] i_rnb:
It's activated.. No need to re activate it..

Confirm it by urself-

We can't have a bugless boot of a Samsung based rom and a CM based on the same kernel. So actually the CM version works for only 1 rom (6.2) for the moment as CM 7 is not yet supported. For all other roms like Kyrillos and Dutchmods for example we need to flash the froyo version of this kernel. Correct me if I am wrong please....

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Abelsama:
hello,

I am gratefull for the work done on these kernels and roms. When my phone was in G3MOD it runs snappy.

I would like to report an issue with the performance and ultimate version. When trying to turn on WiFi I receive an error and don't get WiFi.

I installed 1.8 performance after which I used multiboot to install G3MOD. When I reboot I lose my settings e.g. APN and google accounts. I allready had this issue after I installed Kyrillos 7.1 in the past.

I then tried to multiboot in the stock ROM provided by dharam at the beginning of this dread. On first boot my phone hangs and turns off and now I can't even turn it on anymore.

any reason as to why this might be happening? perhaps a solution?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
you have flashed cm6.2 kernel on froyo ROM...

Yes, you need Froyo kernel

@Dharam

I have strange issue using multiboot. I try to use CM6 using your system.img, i switched img file and kernel to cm6 ultimate. When I try to boot CM6 it seems like bootloop, bootanimation shows, after 5 sec stops, disapear and starts again.

Any advice? I dont want to wipe data.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
well, that is the only problem...you need to wipe data when switching between cm and samsung ROM's....

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Michał12:
I think that kernel v1.8 G3MOD Performance is GREAT! I flash it for recovery when I had 88% battery, after flashing - jumped to 99% and after three hours it continued to persist. Dharam - a great job;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Abelsama:
Thank you for the tip Dharam, I am now using 1.8 Froyo performance kernel with G3MOD 2.0 Rom. I used every cleaning option in the wipe option from 1.8 CM6.2 kernel before reflashing the kernel and rom.

Wifi works, but when I reboot the phone forgets all my settings. How can I prevent this?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
that is the problem between multibooting CM and Samsung ROM...it is unpreventable...

maybe in v1.9 i will introduce option to backup data separately for CM6.2 and Samsung ROM...

It maybe possible to implement that...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
hmm, thats what i tell my gf, but you know how they are...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] ygerg:
Hey dharam, which version was the last one with OCd bus? I'd like to compare it with the newer ones 'cos I did never really experience any problems with that :)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Abelsama:
That would be a nice feature indeed!

But what I actually meant was that even when I don't change the rom and kernel and don't use wipe data I lose my settings after reboot.

I think it may have something to do with that I have 0,00kb internal memory. I don't know why this is though.

It's not from installing apps as I haven't installed any after using the G3MOD 2.0 image and 1.8 performance froyo kernel. I can't even install titanium backup... or update superuser with auto-update because a lack of space. I still have plenty of space on card.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
Ok that is the 0kb bug...check if u have fs.data2sd file at /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod

fat.format /dev/block/stl7 gives invalid argument,

I am still working on the datafs.rfs and total commander
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
Which filesystem you have in /data? rfs?

If so, put a file named "fs.convert" in /sdcard/Android/data/g3mod/ folder (right next to fs.current) and write inside: "stl7 ext4" (without inverted-comas, please!). Then reboot and wait a while (it might seem like it got stuck at G3Mod bootlogo, but it isn't. Don't pull out the battery, just wait). After that, reboot into recovery and try again :P

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Abelsama:
I extracted the datafs.rfs from Eclair I5800XWJH2.

Could I simply add it to main of the multiboot img? e.g. 3GMOD 2.0 or XXJPS Stock Deodexed Rooted System.img

and then flash this via recovery multiboot option? or should I use odin and use an empty tar file except for the datafs.rfs file?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Abelsama:
I will try this suggestion. I will keep you posted. I don't know the filesystem. The standard one if you don't do anything with the sdcard.

When I put in the fs.convert and I reboot I still lose my settings and when I check SD card the convert file is gone.

how could I check the filesystem I use?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
You can not use cwm for a odin image...

Is compcache enabled by default or do I have to do something?

Because if I don't have Kyrillos swap script, it just won't work.

So what should I do? I wany compcache but not swap :P
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Abelsama:
Ok, so I used the datafs.rfs from Eclair I5800XWJH2 and added this to the Froyo I5800XXJPS tar flashed this with Odin. So far I can reboot and don't loose settings.

Rom runs fast but I missed dharam's cwm so I flashed again with G3MOD 1.8 froyo performance.tar. I can reboot and keep my settings.

I did notice that when I wipe cache and dalvik cache I get errors on /dev/block/stl7 and stl8. Is this normal?

If I want to go from a froyo kernel and a froyo rom to a CM6.2 kernel and rom

e.g. 3GMOD 2.0 and 1.8 performance froyo to CYANMod CM6.2 and 1.8 performance CM6.2

what would be the safest steps to do this?

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Dharam_Maniar:
I think kyrillos has app2sd and grigora doesnt...

that may be the problem :)

Well you need to convert data to ext4 and cache to ext2...then it wont give problems...

For CM6.2...

if you want to use it as multiboot, then switch ROM using multiboot,and then switch kernel....for ROM use the system.img and for kernel use .zip files....

If you can find system.img for it...else you make your OWN...

The training for my job starts in November on the 13th. I will be going to Mysore(a city in India) for training, where sadly I dont have access to any Personal Computer/Laptop.

So I wont be able to develop after that. And also I need to stop development atleast a month before leaving to get everything ready for the training.

That makes me have around 1 more month of development.

My Plans are as follows:

G3MOD ROM

- v3.0 will be my Final ROM - Give me suggestions.

G3MOD Kernel

- v2.0 will be my Final Kernel - Give me all your request. I may have forgotten/missed old ones. Remind me again. I'll add everything possible, on the condition it keeps the phone stable.

2.6.37 Port

- I will try to finish as much as possible.

Kernel Tutorials

- I will explain everything I know till now. So more people can learn and develop for this phone.

G3 Guide

- I will finish it and add everything possible. I will be keeping that thread as a Q n A thread...I will respond to tech questions via my mobile on that thread and the kernel development thread :)
