USB otg not working as claimed ........could:rolleyes: u fix it Jason??????.....there is no reaction when I plug in the USB otg cable along with a flash drive..... ..:rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hanifh:
jason, tried the new kernel and all like I said. battery lasted 7 hours. this is not even funny anymore. I had a paperweight halfway through my crazy day. I think I am done with this phone.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
Like I posted earlier in the day, my battery lasted me exactly 9 hours before I look for the charger.

I think it appears some people are having problems with battery drain, while others do not, same as the touch screen problems.

I am not experiencing touch problems and the battery drain fix seems to be working as advertised.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
Let me wipe out the rom, reflash the new kernel, wipe all caches, install rom zip and then update hotfix again, then monitor again.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Thelolinator:
I'll try here.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hanifh:
ok. will wait for your update. until then am using an iPhone 4. sucks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bheremans:
Do you have maps still installed ?

Can you post a screenshot from the battery usage screen per application.

click on settings, battery, then click above on the graph. you should then see a screen with bluebars when an application is awake.

THere are plenty of free screenshot apps in the market
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
I don't know what's going on with you guys but my battery usage is quite good now.Maybe it's related to some software which stuck your phone from going to deep sleep or they just wake up your phone even you done nothing,you 'd better check it out using the method bheremans told you.;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xexijreil:
Someone who has tried this new version and Blendkernel v02 can tell me which one is more powersaving please?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] estuardo4:
I've used both. For me, this MIUI ROM V7.5 has similar or better battery than V02. Yesterday I finished my day with 75% left.

With v02 I regularly finished my day with 60%-70% left.

Hope that helps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xexijreil:
It does =) I'll give it a try then! Hope it works with SE Tweaked, Blendkernel + se tweaked its a great convination for battery saving

Try deleting batterystats.bin...!!! I had this great battery drain and last night I just deleted batterystats.bin and now battery drains @ 1% per hour in deep sleep....!!! Though using the phone consumes a lot...!!!

And the touch scree problem is still there for me...!!!

I did that by using the function in recovery. Still not fantastic though.

Please ensure TUP/TAP modules are compiled with your kernel or located in /data/local/kernel_modules/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yanki99:
battery consumption for new kernel is similar to previous, no improvement in experience.......thanks anyway
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
Delete it using root explorer...!!! When i did through recovery, there was no change but after deleting it through root explorer, battery life improved...!!!

[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Phone was in DeepSleep for 8 hours from 100% it went to 70%

I deleted batterystats.bin just to be sure before going into DeepSleep.

Apps Installed:

BW, PowerAMP(beta version), WidgetLocker, Few games(I haven't started any of them) Titanium back, Script Manager, MX Video Player
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crimilde:
For me, the battery life is way better. I just applied the hotfix for the Bravia engine over v07 (not the kernel 'cause I like my CPU overclocked :D).

Overnight, I lost about 5% battery, and after 9 hours of moderate usage, I'm at 50%.

I find this to be way better than previous versions, at roughly the same hour I used to be at 15-20% before v07.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mafiapanda:
I get this:

03/057/2011 17:57:22 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

What to do?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hanifh:
maps was uninstalled a couple of days ago.

phone almost 90% awake. apps keeing phone awake:

launcher

messaging

beautiful widgets

android keyboard

k9 email

whatsapp

buzzbox

gmail

batt lasted 10hrs with light usage.

scratching my head....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] magikfly:
Jason,

Can you please fix the retro illumination behind the buttons? It's not working currently
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bheremans:
Try once removing beautifull widgets. Maybe it updates to much. My gmail is also awake almost 100% but I can do more then 24 hours with my phone.

Other test you can do :

wipe device completly, (also dalvik cahce) and then install app by app. Each time wait half an hour and loke how much battery you lost, it shouldn't be more then 1%
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
I tried the whole process again. Wipe everything and flashed everything and turned off all services and sync and didn't install any application, The phone goes into deep sleep after 8 hours 73% from 100%

Any idea?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Are you running 3G or wifi over this time, i mean is it turned on, and what is the wifi sleep policy ?

3G will use more battery than 2G, and both will use more than wifi.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
2G (I haven't activated 3G yet) and Wifi was turned off :(

Forgot to mention I had a theme activated if that makes any difference.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] estuardo4:
Hello Jason, strange that you haven't post in two days in this thread.

Anyway, and sorry for asking you, but I really miss using your ROM overclocked. Is there any way that I can unlock the v7.5 ROM? Going back to v7 is something that I'm trying to avoid.

Thank you very much for your help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
No i dont think a theme would be the cause of the drain.

Iv got mine theme'd highly.

Do you have a strong signal or is it weak?

Im thinking that maybe it might be scanning to find a stronger signal if you live in a area where its not exactly strong.

But i think that would be baseband related to a degree.

Whats your read out on the battery monitor ?

Any high spikes in data use or other high usage ?

Only other thing is try leaving it in flight mode over night, and see what that result brings. :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iAchilles:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] dmbardal:
Allright.. So..

I have just spent ~6 hours trying to get MIUI to work on my brand new Arc S.

Finally managed it to work. LOVE IT!

THREE things that I find slightly annoying.

1) The battery drains pretty fast compared to OFW. But thats okey since it looks totally awesome.

2) The 'answer call' button on my headset doesnt work, making it useless. (Not bluetooth. the orignal stereo headset with mic and answerbutton from SE).

Any way to fix this really quick?

3) The 'SEND' button on SMS is in chinese.

Other than that. Keep up the good work!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hanifh:
have tried that already to no avail. have even used droid wall to block almost all non system apps from accessing data. still zero joy, light usage lasted about 13 hours today.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
I just turned on battery monitor it was turned off. I'll test it and let you know.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
I'm out & about just now so can't post the link, but on galnet or miui.us there's a few tweaks to extend the battery, mainly a replacement sidekick and a flashable zip. There are kernel tweaks and cleaners that are only for the official rom as well. I've noticed a difference, not huge, when I find them I'll add the link.

Here's one thread that has a few tips/tweaks; http://galnetmiui.co.uk/landing/forums/showthread.php?t=

[Xperia Arc Android Development] xexijreil:
If you want your battery to last much longer try BlendKernel v02, it's compatible with latest FW, and I would combine it with SE Tweaked, atm is one of the best combinations for powersaving.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
great job, maybe im gonna test this next.

is able to activate and deactivate bravia engine??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
On flight mode I only have 1% per hour. But I have full signal strength all the time. But sure how to change the Network selection from automatic to manual. It does not give that option it's just automatic. If it's related to baseband anyway ideas how to fix it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
Great rom ... +1

But I have questions about the CPU clock.

Flash v07 and kernel only my CPU set yo 1.6ghz.

But after flashing the new hotfix and kernel, CPU back to 1.0.

Why is it so?

I have read the open, so the only way to ovetclock it to 1.6ghz using setcpu??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] CavinRay:
try no-frills cpu, it's free and manage also I/O
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xexijreil:
I never know what governor and I/O set on my Arc, any recommendation for balance between powersaving and performance please?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iAchilles:
@ jason : Sry me but can u help me via answering these Question !? thx

And MY Big problem that i told u before is my lang (Persian) ...

i needed it to write persian sms and recieve perisan sms ...

PLZ SOLVE THIS PROBLEM ... i'm wating ...

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dmbardal:
Another thing I noticed is that on my Arc S it says that the CPU Speed is 1,0ghz in the 'about' section. It should be 1,4ghz if I'm not mistaken.

After using a CPU Clocking app, it now says 1,4ghz again.

HOWEVER;

I feel that the handsfree problem should be fixed asap. as its important for alot of people.

(The accept call-button doesnt work on a regular handsfree. non-bluetooth.. [WITH cable]. Havent tested with bluetooth, and neither will I. Cable all the way.)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yanki99:
dear jasonstein ...and all...

do you find there is lag for 720p Video recording? i can see there is a lag in around every 15-20 sec during the recording..? i am on the latest kernel and firmware ...

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
Ans:

5) this is MIUI rom not SEMC rom,they are different.

6) I have no idea so solve this problem yet.:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
Sorry to hear that but I don't have this problem.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
Found that 720p video won't play properly, keep on saying cannot play video.

Noticed that phone automatically switched on while charging, and super lag, so there is no off line charging.

Or I'm the only one having these problems.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
Just flashed 1.11.4 over 1.10.28 with ps kernel, no issues with retaining usrdata, blend theme looks nice especially the se icons. I'll post after 24hrs or so with proper feedback. Thanks again for the time spent making this work.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
Xloud seems to be working, I've been using DSP manager but definitely louder speaker

sinkster©
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
i cant hear any difference enabling DPS, volume just the same.

im reverting back to v07 kernel, faster 1.6ghz.

im pretty sure its compatible with the latest version.

JasonStein: will you make optional kernel for 1.6ghz compatible for every upcoming version? thanks in advance.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pietr0:
JasonStein I realy like this rom, it looks super nice and it works smooth and stable. Thanks for the great work.

Also the power saving kernel works great. Where I always had to recharge my battery when I got home from work my battery is now lasting 150% compared to before.

I do have a minor bug:

If I select in the reboot options "Recovery" it doesn't go in recovery, it only performs a normal reboot. If I use this "xCharge" widget I got from the market I can reboot into the recovery mode. Ofcourse it's not a big or important error, but anyway, I'm just reporting it.

Question in this LED light: if press the power button when the phone is in stand by and then press the home button the phone's LED light is turned on. This is a realy nice feature of MIUI if I understand it correctly. But from time to time this led light is then accitvated when I have my Arc in my pocket. This is not so good for my battery lifetime and I guess also not so good for the lifetime of the LED if I only detect it after an hour as the phone gets hot in my pocket. Is there a way to turn this future off or change the way it is activated?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
I just noticed that some apps led not working...

Such as whatsapp, tapatalk. Facebook works fine.

Anybody else having the same problem?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Thelolinator:
I keep having a problem where when I flash a different kernel such as the powersave or new kernel with V08, it keeps reverting back to the old one (CPU keeps getting clocked to 1.6GHz). (2.6.32.9-FXP jasonsteing@ubuntu #3).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] CavinRay:
it dipends on which kernel you are using. basically governor ondemand and I/O noop.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] estuardo4:
Hello,

I want to use my Arc overclocked too. Supposedly Jason was going to release v08 with a 1.6 GHz version, but I guess we should wait till next version.

Could you please let us know if you have any problem mixing the v07 kernel with the 1104 MIUI ROM?

Thank you.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
I originally flashed 11.4 over 10.28, without the kernel so no probs there.

sinkster©
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
been 12 hours now on v08 with 1.6ghz kernel, everything works fine.

owh yeah, and Jason should fix the offline charging too...

maybe for upcoming version...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wallimo:
I too look forward to this ROM,miui is such a good looking ROM.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] bheremans:
JasonStein, I got data connection working on MIUI Ray i'm making, you need to patch framework.jar

Here is a modified miui 1.10.14 that contains the semc ril classes : http://hotfile.com/dl/132502736/464637e/framework.jar.html
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
Hi mate,

Really thx for your guide and I will have a try.:D

Btw,

I have done what you said trying to solve wifi problem but it doesn't work yet.Maybe there are some differents between arc and ray.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SaOSsinX:
Hi people,

i have tried it, gsm sms 2g/3g internet is working !! But some problems with launcher (always force close) ...

thanx for all that , this miui port works every day better.

regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
replacing the patched framework.jar above does make the data work, but the home launcher just FC's over and over.

Hopefully its a simple fix
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
You should update your sources to latest miui 1.10.14 first ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
I thought we were already on 1.10.14

Do you think it will be a easy fix ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
I replaced it without fc problem but data connection still not working.Have you changed your APN settings or you get data connection automaticly?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
I used apn manager to set the apn, as i could not save them from the settings

After i replaced the framework.jar rebooted, i had internet, but just got FC's over and over.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
Well, I can not use it to reset my apn settings cuz it always ask me to delete my apn settings first. :( Could you help me to test my rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Ill help with some testing tomorrow after work, as right now i should really get some sleep.

here is the app i used to use my apn.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
OK,thx a lot,I will have a try.

Good night mate ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
well,still doesn't work :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
You can replace the resources from latest 1.10.14 miui to solve the fc issue

like home.apk,settings.apk and so on.

Beta_v01 is not based on 1.10.14 in fact.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SaOSsinX:

I'm having trouble with v08.

After installing it over V07.5 (first flashing the included boot.img and then installig the zip) the phone is in some language other than english...

How to fix this?

I've tried to clean my phone by wiping data/cache/dalvik, but nothing helped...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hanifh:
thanks but didnt get the full URL there mate.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Giblet-dono:
Had this problem too

Two ways of fixing it,

When having wiped data/cache (ie, a fresh install) on the first boot you get the setup screen

When the trollfaced droid is showing press the lower RIGHT button select english and press the wlower LEFT button, then its english

If you already booted and are past this screen

open setting:

choose the second tab (on top)

then choose the 7the from bottom (had an A icon on my theme)

in the next menu choose the second option

And then choose the third (last) option

press the lower left button

and reboot

both methods should give you english
[Xperia Arc Android Development] estuardo4:
Or,

You can go to settings, go to the second tab at the top and go to the second section there and tap on the keyboard icon. The second option is the language option. Tap there and change languages. No need to reboot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iAchilles:
@ jason

in v08

did u add another lang !?

problem about down of touching surface ... did it fix now !?

And i Want to kNow this problem abt touching just is for me !??? :( why others dont reaport like that ???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] estuardo4:
If I remember correctly, the last kernel with the possibility to overclock was v06. And the problem with v06 is the touchscreen on the lower part of the screen.

How are you overclocking v07?

Thank you for your help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
I will add optional overclock kernel soon for V08(in 24 hours).

Kernels for V07、V07.5 are ok to use without any problem.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
It's a known issue and some third party camera apps can not work also.:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] estuardo4:
Thank you Jason. I insist on the overclocking because I notice the same battery drain with v08 at 1.0 GHz than v06 at 1.2 GHz on my phone. Obviously I much rather prefer to have a quicker phone for the same amount of time the battery lasts.

I'm anxiously waiting for your overclock kernel.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] merlin667:
Hi, I tried the V08 Rom + Kernel, but have huge battery drain issue: about 60% within 8h. phone was waking up regulary cause by some com.android.system alarm.clock or something similar. any way to improve this situation?

Currently i was moving back to Blendkernel and Se.tweaked V.05, because this battery lifetime is much too short.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SKaTaNtje:
I've tried the first method and it worked. Only the blendMIUI theme has a lot of chinese buttons, so this is practicably unusable.

Thanks!

By the way, does anyone know how to disable the torch? When I have the phone in my pocket, the torch gets activated by the home button...

I removed torch with Titanium backup and used a differend app, because this one is flickering.
