Check if a2sd/a2sd+ is working:

Get connectbot from market, open it and enter:

su
ls -l /data

When you can see this:

app -> /sd-ext/app
app-private -> /sd-ext/app-private

a2sd is working. When you can also see this:

dalvik-cache -> /sd-ext/dalvik-cache

a2sd+ is working.

When you can see only the first output, it's unsurprisingly, your /data partition gets filled. This is done by dalvik cache.

This has been driving me nuts for weeks, so I figured I'd share the info.

Recent releases of Google Maps has been causing intermittent problems for lots of people recently, and seems to especially affect users of CyanogenMod 7. What I kept wondering was why several instances of Google Maps would show up in Advanced Task Manager. But what really confused me, was why my battery stats showed Google Maps drawing almost as much battery usage as my WiFi, which is basically on all day.

It's not exact, but with nothing else going on, WiFi seems to drain about 2% per hour. So basically Google Maps was doubling my non-screen related battery drain for no reason. The part that made this hard to track down is that it went away after a reboot, and only seemed to start lagging after the phone had been on for a few hours during the day, where it would start lagging like it was continuously starting and stopping a CPU-hungry process in the background.

Based on an offhand comment someone said in the GSB thread, I went into Menu -> Settings -> Location & security, and unchecked 'Use wireless networks'. I saw that the Google Maps battery drain was still going, so I rebooted. I mean... it's CM7, so you can put a satellite toggle in the notification area if you need location data. No need to keep it on all the time, right?

So far this reboot has been up for 40-hours, and I'm at 83% after being unplugged for 7 hours with mixed usage. Google Maps isn't even in my list of apps that have used battery power. I'm not going to declare this "problem solved!" but it might work out for you if you've been having similar problems.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mistiqe:
Hi,

due to my low post count I can't post in the actual thread about that ROM hence this topic.

I have a little problem with battery in my Desire Bravo. On my previous ROM DeFrost 6.1a the battery was holding for ~52h (low usage). After flashing with RCMix S v2.0 it dropped terribly to ~7h (nearly to none usage). This is a huuuuuuge difference as you may notice.

The phone is running exactly the same apps as previously, same settings (Wifi, GPS etc. I mean the most battery related). The only things I've also done prior to flashing the ROM was:

S-OFF

flashed with HBOOT CM7 r2

that's all.

Did anyone experience the same problem? Or does anyone know how to solve it? To anticipate the question: I haven't wipe battery stats after flashing.

HTC Desire A8181

32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17

CM7 r2 HBOOT
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Well there are a few things that have changed. You have gone from Froyo to Gingerbread. You have fine from AOSP to Sense. RCMix S has bits of Sense 3 thrown in too. So really, it takes a lot to run. I have used that rom but you really have to maximize the battery yourself instead of relying on the rom to do all the work.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
I generally get a fair while out of mine.

I've been "up" for 14h:40m and I've lose 42% battery.

Here's some battery saving tips:

Turn off OTA updates (Settings-About-Software Updates)

Turn off "Notifiy me of Open Networks" (WiFi)

Change Wi-Fi Sleep policy to 15 minutes (Wi-Fi Advanced)

Turn off Pocket Mode (In Sounds)

Also, having two batteries helps ;) I kept my old one from an insurance claim and charge them using a dock. Means I don't have to worry about running out of juice if I'm out for a long time.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mistiqe:
Well, I updated to RCMix S v2.1 as someone suggested and it actually made it even worse. The battery was sucked dry after 5 hours. Then I used the Battery Calibrator. Now it's been 20h since last charging exactly and I got 60%. That's way better than it was. So it seems like the problem was that I haven't wipe the batter stats after flashing new ROM. Lesson learned.

Thanks for all your answers. I appreciate that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
When do you wipe the battery stats, though? I've never done ir.

I had 15h yesterday and about 22% loss. Now I'm at 1d, 13h, 17m and 54% lost!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mistiqe:
Well, as far as I know we are supposed to wipe them after every ROM flash as those stats are old (previous ROM) and not reliable anymore. I'm sure someone more experienced than me will have something more to say about it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
I never knew that. Aren't you supposed to wipe when it's dead, though (0%)?

This would explain why when I got a new phone and installed this rom straight to it the new battery was better than the old. Both are fine now though. Or at least I can't tell which is which anymore!

You are actually supposed to charge the battery to 100% and then some. Download current widget and put on your homescreen. Charge until 100% and when current widget reads 0a you unplug, boot into recovery and whipe battery stats.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJMT:
I'm on linux (suse 11.4). I really want to get heimdall to work because my luck getting odin to work reliably with my windows XP dual boot isn't very good. I constantly have to reinstall the samsung drivers....

So, on linux....

I've compiled and installed the heimdall executable from source. It actually does work, except not really very well. In particular:

1. I can only flash as root. Q: how do I get write access to the phone for the normal user. I'm feeling like that's what the udev rules are for, but they are set as

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="6601", MODE="0666"

in both /lib/udev/rules.d/60-heimdall-galaxy-s.rules and /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules.

2. I can't flash in download mode. This is weird. I put the phone in download mode and try to flash and this happens:

heimdall flash --modem ./modem.bin

After that the phone boots normally. Q: Why won't it flash while in download mode?

I'm trying to get some confidence in this whole process so that I feel OK about flashing GB a boot loader. But I am obviously not there yet. Help!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJMT:
OK. I fixed the permission issue by putting myself in the "dialout" group. :)

But the other issue remains. Why won't Heimdall flash in download mode, but will flash in phone-to-PC mode?

It looks like Heimdall detaches the kernel in the first attempt, but then fails to re-attach it (hence, phone-to-PC). But it is successful the second time? I don't get it.

For the record, this is Heimdall 1.1.1, and the ROM on the phone is BiWinning v2.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy25000:
That's normal, I exclusively use Heimdall. I'm on Arch linux :p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJMT:
Huh. OK, well it's good to know that other people see the same thing. I'm not sure that it should be viewed as "normal", though. All the online threads seem to think that we should be able to flash while in download mode.

Really, if I am going to flash a primary boot loader, I would probably have a heart attack if Heimdall reported the download "failed" (the first time). :D

Is it the same with Heimdall 1.2? I haven't tried that, as there doesn't seem to be source to build from.

Not sure where you got your info about 6.0 segfaulting - Squeeze is going pretty strong on my rhod 400.

Two-step debootstrap ftw.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Starfox:
Well, I've had supposed ARM6 binaries segfault or illegal instruction on me. If squeeze works, great. Perhaps you'd be willing to upload a root tarball for those who don't want to go through with doing debootstrap.

I was told by more than one person that lenny was the latest that properly supported ARM6 armel. My script is easy enough to modify to support different Debian distros.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] detule:
I just wanted to give you a heads-up in case you hadn't tried squeeze - it works just fine. I haven't put it through its paces yet, but I did get a vncserver up and going last night just to satisfy my curiosity. Other than some resolution issues, this too was fairly painless.

I think it'll take me more effort to upload a tarball on my connection than for a non-noob user to debootstrap 6.0 on their phone. As far as the beginner, I am not sure that a tarball would be doing them any favors, there's something to be said about head-butting against the installation process.

Good job with the script by the way.

Hi guys. So I have my home network working as always. I was playing with my Optimus 2x to access a local server on the lan.

To do so my ip had to be in a certain range, but the DHCP is configured to give there phone an address in another range. So I opened up the Wifi advanced options and entered a specific ip, much like I sometimes do on my laptop.

Surprise surprise the phone didn't connect. It started the connection but then cut it. repeated maybe a couple times then gave up. Now this is pretty basic networking and I often do it with my laptop and have no problems.

Anybody can hint at why the phone wouldn't?

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] mejorguille:
Wow I've never heard of that problem before. Some general steps you can try are clearing cache and dalvik cache from recovery and running a fix_permissions from terminal or rom manager.

If that doesn't work I suggest manually deleting it from the phone and upgrading to the latest nightly/stable. You can do that by running this from terminal:

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

rm -f /system/app/Calculator.apk

Try those but if they don't work I've got a few more ideas.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SykesAT:
Hi all,

My GF has a G2. A few days ago she put it in her cup holder in her car. There was a few mm of water from a degraded fast food cup in the cup holder. She told me that the water might have reached the earphone.

We let the phone dry out for 48hrs and put the battery back in. Initially it worked for about 6hrs with no problems but when she came home from work the phone would only boot into the bootloader. Once in the bootloader I can not select any options nor turn the phone off. Taking the battery out is the only option, but when it's put back in we go back to the bootloader.

I have attached a picture of the bootloader screen. You can see there is some striation on the bottom of the screen. This striation is at the opposite end from where the phone touched the water.

1. is the striation normal? (think I know the ans to that one but...)

2. Can I try anything to get the phone up and running?

3. Would it be worth a warranty replacement call? The White dot behind the battery is still white, but I think the screen could be a give away to water damage.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Looks like water trapped under the screen. Water could have run from one end of the phone to the other, especially if you held it back upright while water was still inside. Or it could have re-condensed in a different spot from where it was submerged.

If water is still trapped under the screen, its obviously not completely dry. I would try to dry it more, you can try the trick of placing the phone in a bag of uncooked rice, or chemical dessicant packs (like the kind some items come packed with that say "do not eat") to help pull the water out of the phone. 2 days does not seems like enough time, if you just tried just air drying it without one of these tricks. Power off until you are more sure the phone is dry, or you are just doing more damage.
