Saving Private Battery

This is a Little summary of what i've read here and there :

Increase Battery Life Tips :

1 - Check-in Tips:

Type in phone *#*#4636#*#*, select Phone information, and then in drop down menu GSM auto (PRL). Phone prefers GSM with low WCDMA signal strength.

You can also do it from RCMIX Tweaks\Settings\Phone Information\Phone Information.

2 - Disable : Pocket mode

Go to Settings / Sounds / Pocket mode

Source : The FAQ : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074700

3 - Disable : Best Wifi Performances

Go to: Settings > Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi Settings > Press 'Menu' (using the hard button) > Advanced

Source : This Thread

4 - Calibration :

-Connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged.

-Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.

-Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green.

-Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green.

-Disconnect the phone, power it on

(OPTIONAL: Enter Recovery at this point and Wipe Battery Stats (from Advanced menu), and use it.

5 - Provider :

Go to Settings/wireless&networks/mobile networks/Acces point names

Select your provider,it goes back again,select access point names again

the button must be green. Source : Our Lord.

6 - Light : i've read it's more efficient to lower the brigthness "manually" then using autobrightness (the phone doesn't always check ambient light to adapt the screen (i put 10-15% and increase "on demand")

7 - Disable HTCNotify (I removed it from the rom zip before flash) and Software Update

8 - Disable HTC Sense account Sync. (If you have one...).

9 - My own experiment : remove every "Saving Juice Apps" : they are crap and drain more then they save (for me at least).

If you know others...

Seb : Recommended is misspelled in the YesNO script :p

Question : When I first flash V2.2, in Deamon Controller, the min/max Sleep freq were inverted...Is this only me ?

[Desire Android Development] wildcardspv:
Titanium Backup

Just flashed the ROM not long ago and all is running well EXCEPT, Titanium Backup cannot obtain root privileges.

I've flashed a lot of ROMs so hopefully this shouldn't be something I've caused, but FYI...

I flashed bravo_alphaspl-cm7r2.img via Android Flasher 2.1.0 (successful)

Booted into recovery

Wiped Dalvik cache

Wiped Cache

Did factory reset

(always do these 3 before flashing any ROM)

Flashed the ROM

It boots and runs perfectly

But after installing TB via .apk on my SD card it cannot obtain root rights. This has never happened with any other ROM.

Uninstalled TB

Installed latest free version from Android Market and had the same problem.

Updated Superuser to latest version and tried again - same problem.

Obviously at this point I can't restore my apps. Has anyone else had this problem?

If you've resolved this, how did you do it?

Regards

wildcardspv.
[Desire Android Development] Magikq:
Hi Sebastiaan, fantastic ROM, weary FAST :) can you change battery icon to stock ?

Thanx
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
download the latest superuser , if that doesn't work , go into market , and search for superuser , then uninstall updates from superuser and untick automaticly update. Try now ;D

greetz
[Desire Android Development] seven09:
wooow.. really impressive ! really really good rom :)

and (for me) much better than runnymede v3 from coolexe

good work
[Desire Android Development] AyaxSK:
Any screenshots???? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] jory9:
im going to make a vid as soon i got it flashed.
[Desire Android Development] Sebby:
Fc can be to much updates

Running 3.5 clean install no fc yet

Use runnymede 3.1 themes
[Desire Android Development] mclaren2:
thanks, i might try this over the next days if no other idea is suggested. not really keen to wipe again as it needs me like 10 times to flash the rom to get it working. :rolleyes:

very weird. i ask again, could that mean that my sd card is about to die?
[Desire Android Development] tedhan89:
Nope! You have to push them to rom zip file or use root explorer.
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
i used the old disable tp2unlock and without the need of pattern unlock it's perfect. Then i flashed disable_buttons_wakeup_power_works successfully.

great ROM!!!
[Desire Android Development] libracez:
if you can, do a widget Shortcuts&Clock not leafed, but she is lagged
[Desire Android Development] herezor:
I read almost all posts and I could not find anything about it. In Runny 3.5, I got and FC when going to Music, then play and then activate Beats (using headphones). Does anyone have the same FC??. Might be a bug???. Moreover, when I activate Beats without headphones, music stops playing :confused:
[Desire Android Development] Szempy:
I would prefer a 2way call recording kernel, so i don't have to flash another kernel over it.

Thanx.
[Desire Android Development] soronk:
didn't use it so far, but the search-this-thread button is really helpful :)
[Desire Android Development] Klewe:
Did someone try Friendstream? On Runny 3.5 it force closes on mine. How about yours?
[Desire Android Development] chihliouma:
Ya, I also face some Rosie/ sense reload in some occasions for v3.5. I am going check back v3.4 to see if that reload happens.
[Desire Android Development] bw7and:
how is the battery guys

I am getting good battery

almost 6% discharge/hr when phone is not being used with my usual settings

wat bout u guys??

@sebastian: does the new kernel in runny 3.5 affect battery life in any way(i mean does it improve)?
[Desire Android Development] 3f1f37:
Friendstream works fine, but you have to do the following to get it working.

1. After 1st boot, enter your google account info and let the sync complete

2. Once that is done, sign into to facebook via the facebook app

3. It should give you a screen asking to synce with existing contact

4. Agree and proceed, after this you should get a pop up asking you to authorize facebook for HTC Sense.

5. Click Ok and the friendstream should sync and the widget will auto update.

This is how i got it working :D
[Desire Android Development] ThePanama:
Upgraded from 3.4 to 3.5 and haven't found anything not working.

Great job sebastiaan15, 3.5 is silky smooth, many thanks for all your hard work.
[Desire Android Development] 3f1f37:
I'm still on 3.4, I almost never flash a new version until after 2 days cuz i wana see what bugs arise that affect my daily functionality.
[Desire Android Development] bw7and:
i tried no FC here...

working all clear.

make sure u did wipe dalvik cache before flashing rom
[Desire Android Development] sudkcoce:
I have been using this rom for a couple of days now. It was hard to leave the Revolution rom, but I have a nandroid backup ready, just in case ;)

I must say, congratulations, Sebastiaan! This ROM is now IMHO the best sense rom for Desire, bar none. It is as fast as Revolution with original kernel, which unfortunately was not stable, so I had to use a different kernel, in which case this rom is even faster!

I am running 3.4. I am reluctant to upgrade to 3.5 by doing a full wipe, since many people are experiencing sense reload (which is very annoying). I guess that's because they only wiped dalvik cache instead of doing a full wipe (if anyone can provide more feedback on this matter)...

What bothered me in this rom:

1) All those Facebook services that are using my precious memory are there by default (I have uninstalled all FB related apps with Titanium backup and now everything is ok)

2) The HTC Location

I had problems, Google Car Home (IMHO the best car mode launcher) did not work until I have uninstalled HTC Location stuff. Now everything works, but it would be cool if that was an optional install, since it is useless. (Buy Navigation or the software is useless)....

Apart from that, really, kudos to the chef!!!! I never thought I could run Sense 3.5 on my "old" Desire and be happy at the same time ;-)
[Desire Android Development] Elim:
Since I flash yesterday version 3.5, I never have a FC and I open many different Apps since.
[Desire Android Development] Klewe:
I did wipe dalvik and cache. Any other suggestion?
[Desire Android Development] Elim:
No but I didn't have to activate Beats afterwards?! It starts automatically when I play music with a headphone.

But also when I deactivate it, play some music and active it, I haven't a FC.

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

Yes, I run it(*) also the widget and doesn't have any FV.

*) With facebook, twitter and LinkedIn accounts.
[Desire Android Development] herezor:
It activates either with or without headphones. Without, if it is active, music plays but I do not hear it. With headphones, if I hit play and then I activate Beats, I get an FC. I go back to 3.4 until this is fixed as that did not happen to me in 3.4. :(

Nice work by the way...

Sir Seb,

remind that for V2.3...No big deal but perfection is so close !!
[Desire Android Development] colinmc8:
Yeh I know :D thanks for the reply.

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Not only is this the best rom for our Desires but the best developer. Thanks again to you Sebastiaan for your continued commitment, time and hard work! Even if you do enjoy it!
[Desire Android Development] ferencz1:
When I go "join latitude" I get failed login. Does somebody know how to fix this??
[Desire Android Development] Souldrinker:
I just switched to this rom last night after over a year of exclusive LeeDroid rom use and was happily surprised by the speed and features of this rom, but I also experienced loss of data connection twice today even if it was ticked in the setting and showing strong signal.

The only way to get the connection back was to untick and reselect the data checkbox.

The only thing I'm missing so far compared to the old roms is the car home and new market, but regarding the market I suppose I could just find a new apk.

I'm not as sure about car home. I read earlier in the thread about removing laputa and some location services with TB. Would it then be possible to restore the backed up car home from LeeDroid or should I try to find an apk somewhere?
[Desire Android Development] nullinger:
I have massive Battery drain in standby with snq Kernel on v2.2 , 69-89 mA.

With gingercakes Kernel on v2.1 i had 5mA.

Disabeld NoLed, and energysafemode is enabled.

Used Current Widget to log the drain.

Going to flash gingercakes again, i´ll report if drain is gone or still there.
[Desire Android Development] jr_718:
Did you get the triangle?.. click on all 3/4 and allow permissions.. reboot..should be fine.
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Am getting storage full, when trying to open browser anyone know how to fix this?

in storage settings i have 1GB free space, am using the ap2sd mod.

thanks
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Sorry won't let me edit post here screenshot
[Desire Android Development] |flyte|:
Well after running this all day, I do have to say that there is increased battery drain. Not exactly sure what's causing it.. but I have very little juice left :(

[Desire Android Development] vahn lang:
what do u mean? I don't really understand...

Is there anyway for me to update my HBOOT? :confused:

---------- Post added at 01:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------

Can you refer me to a tutorial?

I am still new in this kind of thing :D

Yes. I am pretty sure this has .zip extension
[Desire Android Development] zumnao:
car home + market updater

Copy those files to your /app_s folder
[Desire Android Development] zumnao:
Hi vahn lang, I just went through your previous post and think there are misunderstandings in the process, you are (or must be) STOCK HBOOT and had problems because you tried CM7R2 version instead. Of course you can solve this by changing to cm7r2 hboot but

no need

just full wipe and try flashing AIO v2.2 STOCK HBOOT version (don't choose option XD2SDX at installation)

Good luck!
[Desire Android Development] cronus101:
are you on stock?
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
Yes stock hboot. It seems this does in deed stop you getting low space message. But it doesn't let you do nothing :( Enter browser and get low space is there something am doing wrong?
[Desire Android Development] nulry:
XD2SDX does not work on Stock Hboot?
[Desire Android Development] dodjob:
exactly the same problem as me :/

I never succeed to make the stock HBOOT version to work on my phone. I updated the HBOOT to the CM7/R2 and everything has worked at first try.

---------- Post added at 03:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 AM ----------

Hiding your extension is th ebest way to run an exe file instead of a zip... that was only my point on this ;)

Concerning your HBOOT there is of course some way to do it :) I have really no idea why the alpharev procedure doesn't work :/

Did you dig the CID failure message on xda or google?

Gruß,

H.
[Desire Android Development] shankly1985:
The phone works great, then it will just stop installing apps, browser won't work low space message. Even tho my internel memory says 1.1GB

I dont get it lol
[Desire Android Development] vahn lang:
Alright, I am downloading AIO v2.2 STOCK HBOOT version right now.

Not yet man, I haven't tried searching the solution for this issue on google (CID failure message),

but now I am trying to flash AIO v2.2 STOCK HBOOT version instead of CM7/R2 version.

Hope this works!

Thanks anyway
[Desire Android Development] cronus101:
the xscript does not work with stock. It seems that you have enough internal data space, but in actual fact, your a2sd partition space swaps positions, so you don't actually have that much space. if you want to use the x script, then i suggest you switch to cm7r2, otherwise use a2sd.
[Desire Android Development] swemoza:
If you use stock hboot with amarullz script then your /data will full with dalvik cache.. even when your internal memory (/sdext) is still 1.1 GB..

so better if you use cm7r2 hboot.. because of more space on /data in cm7r2 hboot for dalvik cache..

it is the same case with data2whatever earlier version.. when it have dalvik cache on internal memory..

Amarullz also have script that move all data and dalvik cache to /sdext.

Alex-V requested that version.. Never try it on this ROM, but it should works...
[Desire Android Development] superduperben:
I wonder any1 hav the solution for the battery drain? AIO does eats a lot of juice compare 2 previous tried leedroid n miui...

nvm, just noticed the solution recommended by seb, will try it out sees if it improve anythingy.
[Desire Android Development] Dr. div11:
Can u guys please help.. My battery is draining way too fast... AND HERE'S A THE BIG PROB.. MY APPS CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY.. like suppose I am browsing.. And I get a msg.. So I see that msg.. And when I again go to the browser. It restarts.. It's happening in with all the apps... Any help please
[Desire Android Development] Dr. div11:
Moreover.. My phone is getting so hot that.. I can't keep it in my pocket.. What do I do.. Battery for also draining way too fast..
[Desire Android Development] man4714:
help please...
[Desire Android Development] vahn lang:
Hi buddy,

Your advice really works. Now there is no error message anymore!

Unfortunately, the phone internal memory become lower, which is around 140 mb..

I see that if I select "Yes" when a prompt asking to install AD2SDX or not, the internal memory will be spacious, yet there will be error messages (such as market suddenly close, etc...)

I wonder if I can make my internal memory spacious without compromising my phone with such error messages...

Thanks anyway!
[Desire Android Development] happy20b:
Could you please post following things ?

1] Install terminal emulator and type following command and post its result here

cat /proc/version

2] Please post the exact step by step procedure you followed for flashing , including the messages you got while flashing it and the menus which you selected etc etc.

Hey seb I've tried all things you have mentioned...and a those which I pm you....

Still the same charging and battery and USB connection... Current I'm on ginger.... Have tried SNQ too...

If someone can help me.I'll send pm to him or her about the problem....the detailed...

I'm encountering Battery Drain + battery late charge start..approx 2 mins after plugging the cable + USB connection...our is not connection except fast boot mode.....

One more thing the battery drain is not on cynogenmod..but.the problem of late charging start remains
[Desire Android Development] happy20b:
Freeze solution

Dear all,

For all those people who were facing many FREEZE with this ROM ( including me :D)

After trying different kernels and different flashing mechanism final i have a setup where i have not seen freeze even once from past 2 days. Before I used to get freeze atleast 4-5 times a day and also when rebooting the phone.

Thanks for all those who gave suggestions. There are actually few changes with my new setup/procedure as follows. And I am really not sure which one made it stable :)

1] Used different SD card. [ not new one but the one which came default with my cell 2GB]

2] Repartitioned and formated SD card using gparted and did not format sd-ext in recovery. [ previously i used to format sd-ext from recovery menu each time when i flashed rom]

3] I guess this is optional. I made ext3 to ext4 conversion from recovery thinking that it will align ext4 partition. Some one told this not required since gparted will align when you format to ext4.

4] I am using CM7r2 hboot. I selected "NO" to XD2SDX from ROM menu and installed XD2SDX from script after the ROM installation. Before used to select YES and never flashed XD2SDX script after installation.

Hope this helps someone

Regards
[Desire Android Development] roma:
Yep, same here. Need to disable and re-enable data in settings to restore the data connection. Have not been able to recognize a pattern yet.
[Desire Android Development] man4714:
1] result from terminal emulator:

cat /proc/version: not found

2]

tried 2 diff attempts:

first attept:

1. boot into recovery

2. wipe cache - both sys n dalvik

3. flash new AIO v2.2

4. reboot

5. boot into recovery

6. flash SNQ zip

7. reboot

Second attept:

1. delete the module folder

2. reboot to recovery

3. flash snq kernel

4. reboot

:confused:
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
From you signature, you are on stock hboot, so not enough system space is not a problem for you unless you are on cm7 hboot which you maybe don't have enough system space.

If you don't mind to reflash again the full ROM, you can try this:

Open the ROM.zip with a winrar or 7-zip (the best), browse to system/lib and delete module, close zip manager.

Then:

1. boot into recovery

2. full wipe cache including dalvik-cache

3. flash new AIO v2.2 (the one that deleted the module folder)

4. Choose only a2sd+ and go on until complete

5. flash SNQ zip

6. reboot

Runnymede AIO V2.2[CM7/r2]-I can not connect Bluetooth Jabra 3030

in Runnymede 4.9 version everything works fine
[Desire Android Development] man4714:
thanks.

Is there any other way than flashing rom again??

I hv the phone now set up with all apps n backups..:D

also, what does that command in Terminal Emulator tell??
[Desire Android Development] happy20b:
:eek: are you sure about this ? check if version entry is there by running

ls /proc

After step 5 just wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the kernel and also after flashing the kernel.

And please post the message displayed after step 6]
[Desire Android Development] Sebby:

[Desire Android Development] Sebby:
turn wifi off if you leave home it drains battery

it searches for a network all the time

turn it on at home or if you got wifi at work

please people turn wifi of if you leave home
[Desire Android Development] sachin.02:
I agree with you with everything here...

But I'm talking about late charge starting and very slow charging rate..

I I've tried by charging in switch off mode... Same results... But when I changes to cynogen....the charging rate increase bit the start delay in charging still there
