Backlight Notification current

@ Rdlgrmpf: Some more info about the Backlight Notification just for reference. Leaving the backlight on uses more current than I expected. We should verify my results to make sure they are repeatable and not caused by something else.

Here is part of my current widget log. During this entire time I did not touch my phone at all. I received 1 message somewhere around 11:36 - 11:40, but didn't read it until after 12:00. During that time the backlight was on and it looks like that takes an extra 6-8mA, which is more than double the normal idle current.

EDIT: The point is if you find a way to make this blink it may help reduce the current, assuming the code that controls blinking doesn't keep the phone awake all the time.
[Desire HD Android Development] Rdlgrmpf:
I think as long as you don't do it with the file like the leds it takes more power. But a timeout would be nice

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
a timeout would be very helpful. i don't think it's any surprise that having the backlights on uses more battery, but yeah double seems like a lot. i'll test this too and let you know what i get
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
i went from 4ma at idle to 11-12ma with BLN, so that's 200%!
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Thanks for double checking. It seems consistent that the backlight requires an additional 7 to 8mA. If nothing else it's a good data point so we can tell people what to expect if it is enabled. Also, I'm not sure how long of a timeout we are thinking about using, maybe it will be configurable? But even if it is 30 mins it's not going to be that bad for the battery... unless you constantly receive notifications.

Here's a thought, maybe another option could be added to disable this during "quiet hours" under Settings->CyanogenMod Settings-> Sounds->Quiet Hours

Sorry if that makes it more complicated.
[Desire HD Android Development] Baalzeph:
Hi,

@Chezbel, can i install your beta 3 over beta 2 without a full reinstall?

Cheers,
[Desire HD Android Development] sigurd_LU:
I'm not Chezbel, but yes, you can ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] Rdlgrmpf:
8mA seems normal and logic as the led needs energy :)

About the timeout: not sure how to do it but if I manage to do it, it will have configurable time. IMO there needs to be some service that waits and turns buttons off then, so I'm not sure about deep sleep and stuff. Maybe it will even increase drain more. The quiet hours is a good idea! Maybe add an option "do not use bln " I may have a look in source tonight. But i was snowboarding and getting up at 6 so I'm kinda tired. As FPSrussia would say: "let's see what we can do"

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD Android Development] r0cafella:
Ya it's obviously going to cause drain and instead of focusing on the % increase we should look at the actually MAH drain, has anyone testing the MAH drain without BLN with just regular LED flashing?

I think we need to have some correct numbers before we worry so much about drain, I'd happily Test but at the moment i'm currently back with MIUI.
[Desire HD Android Development] Rdlgrmpf:
I think the drain is not really a problem. I have 30% battery left when going to bed. Not enough for the next day, so why not use it for bln :) everything has its price haha

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD Android Development] michelD:
Thanks, but imho, drain is always a problem, and 6 mA is costly.

As, suggested, the best approach is to make this notification blinking : if, for example, it is turned on 0.2 sec. every 2 sec, the drain will be reduced by a factor 10 with an incresaed visibility (attractiveness)!

And, if you can offer the possibility to desable the notification (green) led, I think, that in the final the drain should be equivalent (or even lower!) .
[Desire HD Android Development] Rdlgrmpf:
I could stop the normal LED. As long as there is no blink file in the library you have to do it with software. I think this will always drain more than just one time setting it on.

any nicolayma here?

Nothing special for me. But higher mA values are only logical

[Desire HD Android Development] alienmind:
We all know that BLN is going to have more consumption.

I find the option is interesting for people lacking blinking led (broken) of just aesthetic.

Perhaps if the option is properly advised to consume more in the settings panel, that would be enough.

All the other suggested options are fine as far as Robin has some time to implement them!
[Desire HD Android Development] r0cafella:
I think on our Phones the LED isn't very noticeable i think with BLN especially if we can get it to blink it will just be much more functional
[Desire HD Android Development] Colpophage:
Flash a BlackICE with Lord's 8.7beta kernels, and I think you'll find your mic works, and you won't need Talon. At least that has happened for me, and quite a few others on Lord's thread.

So nice not having to change the kernel to make one change in ICETool, then change back! :-)
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
a note about the new market 3.4.4 with the dpi hack,

it told me that titanium backup had an update, but the only options were "open" and "uninstall". so i went to manage applications > market > clear data and when i reopened market 4 more apps needed updating! so maybe it's a good idea to do that every now and then. i wonder how many more there would be if i reverted dpi to 240...

also this happened which i thought was pretty funny:

incompatible, but it's downloading? stupid market.
[Desire HD Android Development] MacSeoin:
DPI hacked market is very buggy, it was only showing 47 apps in the free section lol

I've reverted back to stock DPI and Market as they actually function correctly!!!

Guys,

Need some help... I am running v1.26b and facing issues with Facebook contacts sync. The contacts do not sync for some reason. Also, can I directly flash the latest beta without full wipe?
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Never had that issue with FB. Yes you can just update without a full wipe. Always good to backup first though.
[Desire HD Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
Make sure you wipe cache and dalvik. You just don't have to wipe data. Do a nandroid backup first as always!

the bug maatsby found should be fixed now.

I also added quiet hours support.

Both not tested yet.

Hi guys wondering if someone could help me please. I'm having huge issues with YouTube, no matter what I do I can't install it from the market. If I download an apk from the net it will install but will never play over the mobile network, only plays over wifi.

I have tried both old and new markets and both 200 and 240 dpi and still no joy. I'm running 1.26 beta but had the same problem on 1.24.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Cheers

Edit... got it installed from the market but still can't play anything. Says lost connection please try again. Never works after retry, only works on wifi.
[Desire HD Android Development] Pick_A_Name:
Did you clear market cache and data AND set it to 240 dpi? Sometimes it also takes a reboot.

if you want the centered clock, it still works with latest kang. use the "BlackStockSystemui.zip"

the other zips are not working with latest kang atm, please do not install. it wont break your phone, but there are some graphic issues.

at weekend, i will make a update. just a little darker, some nice effects and new signal icons(g,e,g3,h),

take a look here, tell me, if you like it (at the graphic thread please).

is there only the lockscreen, that changes? then i can wait til weekend, to update my thememod. centerclock hopefully work with the new beta
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Sorry, I'm just trying to grab new CM7 changes as they come out so BlackICE can be as up-to-date as any nightly would be. Unfortunately the framework changed again, which meant I had to manually update a patch file again. I hope it won't make your updates too difficult.

I'm thinking of writing something to help automate the patching so that it won't matter if things move around. I don't know if that would help you or not because I don't know exactly what you are patching. Anyway that depends on if I have enough time and if Alienmind thinks it is worth doing.

@chezbel, icetool is working perfectly for me. I'm on the latest kang, i flashed it over the kang before that (no full wipe)

same for me, i thought I'd test 240 dpi but it's still the same, so I guess that's how it's supposed to be!
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
OK, before any more kittens have to die, here is a link to ICETool.apk that I extracted from the previous build (from BlackICE.v1.26b3-20120111_015138.zip).

I managed to get this installed on my phone and it works, but I'm a little embarrassed to say that I'm not sure of the correct way to install this ... LOL.

Here is what I did to get it installed

1) Copied ICETool.apk to my sdcard

2) Tried to install it via Root Explorer, but it would not install

3) Used Root Explore to make the system/app directory writeable

4) Copied ICETool.apk to system/app (overwriting the old version)

5) Tried to install ICETool.apk from system/app (I know, probably bad)

6) This took a while and then my phone rebooted... oops

7) After the reboot it turns out the new ICETool actually did get installed

I'm sure there is a much better way to do this, but I was rushing to save kittens ...

I'd say the best way is to make a flashable zip out of it, or push it in system/app with adb.

Morning Guys,

Do we have a fix for the DPI, market un-compatible issues?

I searched but the only resolution I can find is reset to 240, reboot and clear market data.

Using latest stable version.

Going to flash B4 and re-test.
[Desire HD Android Development] maatsby:
Good idea :)

For those with issues, try this zip. It's the icetool.apk from the previous kang so it will have the "test script" option in it.

Simply put on root of sd and flash in recovery like a rom. Clear cache and dalvik-cache before it, just to be safe (i didn't and it seemed to work ok, but who knows)
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
I don't think there can be a fix unless it comes from Google.

Thanks for that.
[Desire HD Android Development] Chezbel:
Post #3 has a new build that should fix the ICETool Action menu bug.

The only other change is that I bumped the version number, so nobody should have to modify their frameworks today!

Here's mine. In the lockscreen settings I chose minimal ring style, hence why it's different to what the others posted.

Sent from my Desire HD with Blackice.
[Desire HD Android Development] thermskin:
Errr, one stupid question:-) I don't see Holo lockscreen, where is it? I have flashed latest BlackICE.v1.26b5-20120112_191739.zip but no Holo lockscreen style!?

Am I missing something?:-)
