I have the same issue, android system is whats killing it, using somewhere in the 40% range of my battery, when it should be using maybe 10%. Not sure why but im seeing if it is app related.
[Vibrant General] Yellow C6:
Does it have built-in WiFi tethering like the stock 2.2 Touchwiz?
[Vibrant General] Yakdaddy:
I think I found the culprit (at least for me)...it was Handcent. It doesn't show up as taking a lot of CPU, however it seems to be conflicting with the native SMS and keeping the device constantly partially awake.

I followed instructions found here, as ridiculous as it sounds (sorry, I can't post links, so I parsed it out...just combine strings): sprintusers . com / forum / showthread.php?t=197275

So far it's been 2 hours and the phone's only dropped 1% (and I have been nearly constantly checking it).

Now if only MMS worked...
[Vibrant General] protohamster:
It's very stable - no crashes or reboot yet. But the 911 thing is still broken and there is a power drain bug, but only if you have certain apps installed - I notice GPStest/GPS toolbox and possibly Home Smack seem to cause Android system to not let the phone sleep.

GPS does work for me, but only outside, max acuracy is 30 ft but it's usually more likely 90 ft. I also had to bend the antennae back before this worked.
[Vibrant General] gun:
find your local non-emergency number and save it in contacts as 911. They can always transfer to emergency if needed.

I am using the Build Number "FROYO.UVKA6". I am using a Vibrant T-959 and would really like to know if I am able to use 911 in an emergency or not? I really don't want to just try it when not needed.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
if you're using CyanogenMod - no, you can't call 911.

Otherwise, yes you can call 911.
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
So I was the only person with signal issues, going from 3g with one bar then to edge and finally a few minutes later no signal. This happened all through the day, I live in a hspa+ area. Ya but other then that it's a really stable rom more of a show piece to me though but hay that's just me as I like to receive/send calls and text in a timely fashion ;) in a few more months ill flash it again see how it works then.
[Vibrant General] imitebewrong:
112 is, apparently, recognized by all GSM phones as an emergency number.

I dialed 112, while on CM, and it indeed called a 911 operator.

so just remember 112... its Europe's 911 equivalent. And fortunately for us, our GSM Vibrant's can use the 112 number as well.
[Vibrant General] gun:
112 does not work for me.
[Vibrant General] Emama:
you guys did really try dialing 911 to test it?

isn't an abuse of it?
[Vibrant General] degeneration:
That depends I think. If you aren't sure that your phone works, wouldn't that be testing to make sure that when a real emergency happened you wouldn't be out of luck? I don't think the 911 operators want you abusing the system, nor do they want you to be unsure of your phone working to phone in an emergency.

I can see either way, but if you only did it once they aren't going to shoot you or anything.
[Vibrant General] Yakdaddy:
Actually it seems Handcent was a bystander...according to the Cyanogen forums, the GPS is the culprit. If anybody has battery drain issues, check out that forum. I haven't seen any develop solutions, however the temp fix has been to toggle off gps and reboot. If something ends up enabling your gps however, it will probably continue to be an issue.

Wheres the Android Market?
[Vibrant General] bombri:
Battery drain

As far as the Android market goes - you need to install it yourself. You can check Cyanogen Mod's Wiki page for the latest version of the Google Apps apk. htt p://wiki. cyanogenmod. com/wiki/Latest _Version#Google_ Apps

I am having battery drain issues as well and I believe that I've narrowed it down to the convenience key lights staying on every time I receive a text or an email. I've searched all through the settings and can't seem to find where I can turn that off. What happens is that I'll get an email at like midnight, and the convenience keys will stay lit until 8AM when I wake up. Having all 4 of those lights on all night I believe is killing my battery very quickly. Can anyone help me out with turning the convenience key notification thing off?

Thanks a lot!

[Vibrant General] snapple232:
I understand the 911 bug is probably harder to fix than it seems, not to mention that its difficult/illegal to test, but imo it's downright irresponsible to label a CM7 release as 'stable' with such a critical bug intact. Especially with the fact that it isn't explicitly labeled on any official description, there are no doubt hundreds, if not thousands of people walking around out there who are unaware that their phone can't call 911 in an emergency. Most software bugs are just irritating, this one is potentially life and death. They need to either keep Cyanogenmod in beta, or give a clear warning to users before downloading.
[Vibrant General] EmoEskimo:
It is not at all illegal to test your 911 capabilities. In fact many emergency response professionals I have talked to highly recommend testing 911 capabilities when you do something like move to a new place or set up a new phone system. To test just call 911 and specifically tell the operator that you have no emergency and were just hoping to test your phones 911 functioning. If they are not busy with handling other emergencies they will be more than happy to help you.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
911 misuse laws vary by state, I don't think it is wise to give advice unless you are certain it is fact.

Installing a custom rom on your phone and calling 911 to see if it works doesn't fly with me. You could flash a new rom every week and could be calling 911 every week? "Oh I just installed a new rom AGAIN, sorry just checking again."

No I don't think so.
[Vibrant General] wtcnbrwndo4u:
Hey man. If you go into your Wireless settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names, you can see the default APN is set to Simple. Choose T-Mobile US again and you'll have no problems.
[Vibrant General] beowolf:
This rom can never be considered stable as long as the 911 bug exists. It is inexcusable to allow this rom to be in the market when it can't even do something that is standard in all phones. I don't know how they can sleep at night knowing that someone cannot call 911 in an emergency because of their rom. Yea, I know, installing a rom is a choice but this is very irresponsible on cyanogen part.
[Vibrant General] izmahoby:
I just installed Cyanogenmod 7.1, my first 2.3 and it looks very cool, but noticed quickly two major issues that could send me all the way back to 2.1 if I have to.

Exchange cannot move emails between folders, such as moving an email out of my inbox. I could do this on Windows 6.1 so I puzzled how this could have been missed.

The second issue is the GPS still doesn't work. Has anyone been able to fix either of these issues?

My CM7 issues so far.

Spent the last couple days flashing, reflashing, clearing this, clearing that, etc and still having the same issues with CM7 as my first flash.

Background:

-Came from Bionix-v 1.3.1

-wiped data and cache and factory reset.

-"fixed permissions"

-flashed CM7

-flashed Google Apps addon package

-rebooted.

Issues:

- Upon bootup and google account login, it pops up Market and shows the G Apps. Before you get a chance to read them or do anything, boom, Force Close.

- Back to the sign-in process. It asks the same sets of permissions twice for some reason (use my location for search, have my account backed up, etc), but then you're on the main CM7 desktop screen.

-Things just get nutty from here. It's attempting to download all my apps I had previously installed on Bionix? Or, that I've got backed up from Titanium Backup.

-I say it attempts, because it fails on the seemingly vast majority of them.

-I let it run its course, then launch market and start successfully reinstalling some key apps (gmail, maps, reader, etc) that are missing.

-Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't (depending on the latest attempt at re-flashing, it may give me a "non sufficient space" error) install Titanium Backup.

-When I am actually able to run Titanium Backup, I try to "Restore missing apps with data". I have to restart this process several times, and I still have not managed to get through all my backed up apps without it stalling on one.

-If I've restored a significant quantity of them (~200), it doesn't really matter though because any app I try to run starts force closing on me.

And GPS doesn't work. But I haven't tried any fixes yet because these other issues really make me feel like I've missed a key step somewhere. I just don't see where! I have't seen any other posts about this "reinstall everything old" characteristic right upon 1st boot. Is it by design, and I just have too many old apps laying around?

Thanks!

Don't go Tripping out on us... :P Just kidding.

Seriously though, it would probably take something to force the phone into landscape mode (such as a slide-out keyboard or game pad) to kick the launcher into landscape. I've seen apps on the Market that claim to be able to force landscape. I haven't tried them as I don't want to fork out money for something that I'll only use once and might not work.

haha nice pun. haven't been online for a while. just saw your reply. thanks for the input
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milton.bain:
Because on each change of orientation the launcher will redraw itself, causing lags and hang. Moreover widgets may get problem loading. You need to reboot then. But some widgets won't get repaired on rebooting too. Also when you use large widgets alongside smaller ones, change in orientation will cause overlapping.

CheerS! :)

Go Launcher does landscape on x10. Not SE Home I know, but if you're dying for landscape it worked fine for me. Played with it for a few days but I'm not big on home landscape style. And I've got a few widgets that worked fine. Winamp 4x2, Google Search 4x1, Track ID 4x1, Power Widget 2x1, Android flashlight (used to be Arc flashlight ...x10 flashlight didn't work for me).

Hi guys,

Here's one for you!

After I performed the widely reported HTC Desire battery calibration on my HTC Desire S I was easily getting about 40hours usage from it. I was extremely impressed by its long battery life.

However in recent days I have been getting just a fraction of this. Perhaps 15hours at most. My usage hasn't increased or decreased and I'm struggling to find an explanation as to why the battery life has been slashed. I recalibrated and still no improvement.

Can anybody shed some light please!?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You need to run some battery monitoring tools to see whats actually eating the battery.

I'd recommend battery monitor widget this should show the amount of battery being eaten at a given time and record history, so you can determine if its a rouge application or a duff battery?!

After you install it it change Settings->Monitoring->Battery Capacity to the correct value of 1450.

Try to think about what applications you may have installed around the time the consumption changed or if you have recently added new accounts to sync.
[HTC Desire S] MoshPuiu:
Indeed you need a battery monitoring tool to see exactly what is going on but for me I noticed that running a GPS application and after that stoping GPS module never release completly the resources and the battery is discharging faster.

All indications shows there are no GPS connections and the module is off but the battery discharge at 2x speed than usual. I had to restart the phone and the problem is solved until the next time I start any GPS app (Navigon , iGO ..).

I use stock ROM.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
You could also try, where is my android power.

It's an app that shows you which app consume how many % of battery.

Maybe the problem is related to an app you downloaded lately
[HTC Desire S] lukey-windy:
Thank you for all your comments so far guys. Unfortunately I am no closer to finding out what has started to dissolve my battery.

I have done a factory reset today to rule out any rogue app causing problems.

Just seems odd that I can go from getting 36-40 hours usage down to about 15 without dramatically increasing my time spent using the phone.
