Hi Moderators,

Please feel to delete or move this thread, if you find it repetitive. Apologies for starting a new thread.

Hi All,

I have a unique issue with my Nexus one. Sometimes it fails to reboot and then does not start even pressing power button multiple times. Sometimes it starts but then screen does not come up after the display time expires. Whenever it is ON, power button works good, ALWAYS. When it goes into the weird state, I am not able to put it in recovery mode as well. Whenever, I am able to put it in recovery mode, power button ALWYAS works good. Also I have seen that sometimes, even after boot-up it is not able to detect the SD card even when battery is at around 30%.

I have tried all the methods I could find related to "Nexus One power issue" here on XDA as well as via Google search. Sometimes the "remove battery multiple times while plugged into AC" works but at times it also does not help either.

I visited the local HTC service station. The guy there showed me that the small strip of Litmus paper on battery and phone has turned reddish. For normal phone it should be white. This indicates that phone was in contact with something acidic in nature. I tried swapping batteries with my friends and colleagues, but no luck. I have replaced the power button strip of my phone which seems to be trouble some as per the discussions here.

I have tried CM7.x, RCADS, MM super hybrid, eVil's desire port and of course stock 2.3.x ROMs. All seem to have similar issue one or another time. I have also tried Amon_RA's 2.2.0 and 2.2.1. Somebody told me to try with CM6.1 which I will try now if I am able to boot it in recovery.

My warranty is long gone, BTW. Also I bought my phone from US and it is not possible for me to go there again in near future. This issue cropped up approximately 3/4 weeks back. I have default radio.

Having said that, does anybody know what could be the issue with my phone? Has anyone faced such an issue?

Hi Moderators,

Apologies for posting this thread in this sub-forum. I forgot that question threads should be in Q&A section. Having said that, if its not too much to ask, can you please move this thread to Nexus One's Q&A sub-forum?
[Nexus One General] shreyasvb:
Just update d firmware wit any of the ones which r available here...m pretty sure this ll solve yor issue as I think its related to software not hardware...
[Nexus One General] b1337:
Firmware update lol seriously ...try updating your radio to the 5.08 or 5.12 then flashing a stock rom and go from there
[Nexus One General] chota_shivaji:
Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I somehow manage to put my Nexus one in recovery mode by pressing power + volume down buttons multiple times. Then flashed the radio 5.08 on it. I already have CM 7.x ROM.

With this combination, my phone is working good so far. The power down issue would have reoccured by now. So it looks like my issue is resolved. I will use it for 24 more hours and come back if I am able to hit the power down issue again.

Once again thanks for the suggestions. As usual, XDA rocks. Had been experiencing this since good old Windows Mobile + HTC Touch days :-D.
[Nexus One General] chota_shivaji:
I tested my Nexus one for past approx ~36 hours. In this time, I was hit by the issue mentioned in this thread twice.

Out of those 2, 1 was probably caused due to a soft reboot as I was able to get some output from cat /proc/last_kmsg but could not save it for sharing. The other one did not had last_kmsg entry so I am not sure what caused the phone to go haywire. The battery charge was ~30% when I booted it next time.

Now, I am on CM 7.x stable + 5.08 radio + Amon_Ra' 2.0.0 recovery and I explicitly have wiped the cache and Dalvik-cache via recovery. Since then, phone seems to be working OK. I will keep this thread updated if I am again able to get into the "Not able to power-on with power button" issue.

[Xoom General] okantomi:
I hope that this thread can be pinned so that we can all be warned about serious conflicts with app updates and versions and some of the kernels and roms we have flashed. Still hoping this thread will be used for solid advice. Please contribute.

Some of these apps/versions are consistently causing problems, including near-bricks.:eek:

My first warning is for Xoomers to avoid updating to the 4.XXX version of Clockwork Recovery. This version doesn't "see" our external sdcard, and backs up to the internal sd, and also, prevents flashing from the external sdcard...if you have already updated through Clockwork Mod Rom Manager, you will need to re-flash a good recovery.

Update 6/21-- This is still a problem--do not update to Version 4.XXX of Clockwork Mod Recovery through ROM Manager. If you did, then in RM, scroll to the bottom and flash an older recovery (2.0.2.5 I think) then the newest one pinned to the top of solarnz's thread in the development section.

There have also been problems with the updated busybox and with the binaries that the updated superuser app installs.

Please, can we get more definitive statuses on these two applications?

Please use this thread and add in your own known problem apps, etc. and if possible suggest or link to solutions for others who may be ensnared in these conflicts.
[Xoom General] cam30era:
Okantomi is right. This thread should be pinned. I have seen at least a dozen cries for help on Q&A from people that have fallen into these two traps.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Thanks cam30era, you have been one of the people giving the warnings as well.

OK this is a shameless bump to keep the thread visible.

Oh yes, and never flash a .zip file through adb!!!
[Xoom General] kev0153:
ROM manager causes so many problems. I don't see the point of it.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
It's actually a very useful app in so many ways, but there should be more coordination between the developers...it seems the 4.XXX update sort of treats the Xoom like a phone with only a small internal memory and an external sd card being the only thing called sdcard.

On a tablet, however, we have a large internal sdcard (32GB on Xoom) and mounted to that is our external sdcard (this mount point is one of the reasons that Google is hesitant to OK the external SDcard on tablets--makes for an awkward file structure, I guess). This version of CWM seems to only see our internal sdcard on the root directory and treats it as the external sd.

If this explanation is wrong, those with more knowledge please correct me. I think it's helpful for people to know, in layman's terms, what's going wrong, as it can help them use logic to avoid problems in the future, but I don't want to spread mis-information!
[Xoom General] kcrudup:
What's wrong with the latest "Superuser" and "Busybox", though?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
I think these are either in conflict with the Tiamat ROM 1.0 /and or newest updates missing files (busybox). This was recorded in an ongoing discussion in development (dinomight OP) and I fell victim to updating to a conflicting busybox version. All was fine until I rebooted and stared the dreaded RSD 3 in the face. God only knows how I made it back from the edge...
[Xoom General] Kippui:
I installed busybox from the market too, is it safe to uninstall? I was trying to get cifs to work somehow and I ended up installing busy box. The xoom froze and I got the RSD 3 somehow. I kept smashing button combinations until it rebooted. It has been fine ever since.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Wow! Glad you were able to recover! I think that solarnz made a stable version and I think it's in the development section inhis recovery thread.
[Xoom General] solarnz:
Long story short :

The busybox wasn't compiled with run-parts. In our rom, the ramdisk used to rely on this for init.d. This has been fixed.

With superuser, the su binary appears to be incompatible. I haven't had a look at this issue yet.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Thank you solarnz. So is the busybox in the market safe to install/update or do you have a link to the fixed version?
[Xoom General] solarnz:
As long as you have flashed the rom update 3, you can flash busybox without worrying.

You asked a question. I answered. Search for the online kitchen on here, upload your stock framework res.apk and systemui.apk once selected and it will create it for you, then push it back to your phone. If you don't know what that means then NO you can't. ::roll eyes::

battery calibration app gives me that value....

i read somewhere else that the "normal" 100% value should be around 4200mV...

thats a lot of difference =S

should i calibrate the battery with that app, when it gives me only 4mV at 100%?

i haven't calibrated it, yet... because of that weird value....

anybody tried that app with ace?, what are your mV values?

my battery last for about 12~15 hours with moderate use

im using stock froyo
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] rufik:
It's samsung's bug in software - battery event contains this wrong value.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Not only this bug, battery percentage is buggy too. Doesn't update itself to count 1% by 1% but rather jumps by ~10%. Kernel mod can resolve this right?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] rufik:
Right, just wait for official 2.3 release and kernel sources, and we'll get a lot of mods :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] danang1982:
it's not a bug. u have to modify framework-res.apk, all u need is modified battery icon (0%-100%) and modify xml values also.

i already implemented it on froyo, waiting for stable GB then i'm gonna mod my framework again

for icon file, u can find here or u can use UOT kitchen to minimize bootloop

Wow, I'm getting bad battery life on EF02 too, but not THAT bad. Are you solely testing in a no signal zone?
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
My house
[Epic 4G General] Tandrew86:
I had the exact same problem on EE03. Couldn't get 8 hours using wifi and the phone in sleep and I live near a tower (never have less than full bars).

Suppose this explains the delay and EF10.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
My ee03 was great
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
:eek: that sucks ... everything is great about the ROM except for battery life (and I guess some of the other crap they still haven't fixed like the physical keyboard lag, grr). It's faster for me than most of the deodexed ROMs I've tried that took out all the Samsprint "bloat".
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Wow... I his noticed that my rom somehow fixed the system apps bug...
[Epic 4G General] magoo5289:
Odd, I left GPS and wifi on took a nap, five hours later and I'm still at 100%. Of course GPS is not working for me, so now I have to go through that whole rigamorale of getting it to work. Oh yeah I'm on the EF10 modem.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Huh, I had the phone running for 5 hours in a real poor signal area after I flashed EF02 and at the end of the night I was still at 70%. Today I'm going through the usual battery calibration stuff so I won't know for sure for another day or two, but initially it seems pretty good on my phone, (using EF02 modem).
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Hm that's weird with 2 hours of usage screen on for a little more than an hour, wifi on the whole time and I still have 79%
[Epic 4G General] Slow5Ohh:
Same for me. My phone was almost dead after a long night of sleep. I went back to srf. Stock rom's are boring too
[Epic 4G General] MikeyLee:
My EE03 was killer until I started messing with themes and then it went to ****. EF has been ok so far.

One other thing I noticed is that when you have your phone plugged into the computer and not the wall it doesn't see it as being plugged in even though it's charging. At the moment I have it plugged into my laptop so it's obviously charging but my screen shows it being on battery for 38 min 52 sec
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
that doesnt display if you put on charge thats highly unlikely to get 7 hours and still @ 100%
[Epic 4G General] Dulanic:
It's not unlikely it's impossible. Looks like a display bug to me.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Or an uncalibrated battery meter. The first battery cycle after a flash can give you some wonky stats, I usually run a calibration and at least one more full charge/discharge before I can pass judgement on battery life.
[Epic 4G General] lattiboy:
I seem to be getting IMPOSSIBLY good battery life on this. I've had it off charger for 3 hours + and have been using it like crazy installing apps and configuring. I'm still at 75%.

I fully charged and ran battery calibration when I got up. Who knows, maybe it'll drop 50% in the next hour, but for now, this is stunning!

PS I'm also getting like 15% phone idle, so I don't know if that's accurate.

Cleared battery stats this morning, charged until blue light came on. It's running for 3 hours with light to moderate use and I'm at 92%. Using EF02 modem, no themes, Launcher Pro.

top 3 battery uses:

Android system 46%

GPS Status 39%

Cell Standby 6%

(TWS 38%) I'm in a crappy coverage area)

If battery life continues like this it'll be awesome.

my battery life has been really nice on ef02, esp over ee03. Granted i did start using set cpu with ef02 when i never used it with ee03 and my battery is awesome. After using it for 5 hours doing different things i was only down to 68% battery.

[Epic 4G General] Ron_91:
Calibrate your battery.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I can confirm that the battery has a severe drain in LOW SIGNAL areas. If you've got good signal, you wont experience this drain.

I was at work yesterday and at work I pretty much have no signal, so it continues to search for signal even though it can't grab it. My battery after not using the phone at all, all day was @ 15% after 8 hour shift. This was on the EC05 Modem though, not sure which of you are on EF02, or EF10.

EDIT: It's probably fixable by going into ##DATA# and changing some values. I'll leave it to Marcusaunt or the other Devs.
[Epic 4G General] worldwidepmp:
Battery life for me is off the charts! 3 hours off the charger with moderate use and I'm sitting at 92%. EF02.
[Epic 4G General] lattiboy:
I would disagree. I live in a basement with abysmal signal. I've been getting incredible life. I think all these issues are from bad flashes. My install is bulletproof and has great battery life. I odin'd stock and then cwm and then su.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Quick question, do you have widgets that refresh every so often? (that require data)? Or are you on WiFi most of the time?

EDIT: It's just strange, because @ my house, where I have astounding signal, my battery goes 1% every hour with low use. My battery's @ 100% right now and screen has been on for 10 minutes w/ phone unplugged for 29 minutes.

its probably just certain preferences tuned up in different ways

i am also getting stunning battery life (in a good way)

i have all drm components frozen in titanium

check your running processes for duplicates and unnecessary apps and terminate

uninstall bloat from system apps with sufbs or root manager...etc
[Epic 4G General] amirite:
8 hours with wifi turned on is actually fairly average for the Epic is it not?

Seems more like something was wrong with the OP's battery readout on ee03 - 100% battery after 10 hours could never be right.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Not if the screen is off most of the time. I've lasted 30 hours (with very, very little use) on stock battery.
[Epic 4G General] rooster2002:
I had more of a battery consumption problem with ee03, there were days where i couldnt get 4 hours out of a battery, tried everything to fix but nothing worked. I just installed ef02 yesterday and Ive been on the same charge for 16 hours and sitting at 51%.
[Epic 4G General] ilostmypistons:

After 14 hours off the charger, I'm at 47% left. I had WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth on all day, and I spent about 6 hours in an area with one bar or less of cell service. Light to moderate use. EF02 modem

What seems odd is that GPS status shows at 43%. I don't think I actually used GPS more than a few minutes.

Also just realized I didn't kill Facebook auto update and it was set to the default 1 hour. Probably didn't hurt too much but certainly didn't help.

I have exchange email set to push, and gmail syncing calendar and contacts.
