data off after sleep

Hi everybody!

I have used Blade for a year. I used JJ, then Swedish Spring, then GSF. I don't like CM 7.1 because I absolutely want the ZTE Dialer, where Contacts has an extra tab for my groups.

Thus Elite Blade is an excellent choice.

Presently I have 2 Blades (one is extra spare).

On my regular Blade I use Elite Blade 1.1 and on my extra Blade I have installed Moldovan Mile-High-Mountain-Pie RLS6 as a reference. Every night I try to make statistics of battery consumption. My goal is to find a ROM and configuration with minimal battery drain. Every second night I switch batteries, so that the old battery and the new battery should not affect result. Sometimes I wipe battery stats from Recovery.

On both phones I try to make identical setup:

Partitioned ROM to 160 mb, 2g only, all data on, wifi on, widget news&weather sync every 6h, Facebook sync every 4h, JuiceDefender, LauncherPro, Gmail, Google+, Lookout, Titanium Backup.

On both phones I have noted nightly battery drops between 10 and 20% so I can't make any conclusions so far. Perhaps I should measure over longer time span, or use apps such as BetterBatteryStats.

But one thing is strange:

Both in the Elite Blade, and on the Moldovan Mile-High-Mountain-Pie Blade, sometimes mobile data is OFF (deactivated) after the nightly sleep, despite that I alway set it to ON.

I verify this by using the advanced power widget. When I pull it down from the main screen, sometimes the mobile data button is OFF (grey), resulting that the Data box in settings is unchecked. I don't think I touched (deactiveted) it by mistake. I touch the button again so that it is green. I expect mobile and background data to be always ON when I wake up the phone. Does anybody know what can cause this? Some strange app or some setting? :confused:

I now remove all un-needed junk that uses data, such as Facebook and widgets, then continue testing.

Edit 12.11:

I removed news and weather widget, facebook, Juice Defender, Lookout, Google+ on both test phones. During this nightly test, both phones used 10-11% battery durung 10 hours, with all data and wifi on. Data was not disabled. Thus my trouble may have been caused by e.g. JuiceDefender
[Blade General] herpez:
No idea. And has i have a very limited data plan, i can't test to help you... :s
[Blade General] xyz`1:
since you have been using both the roms for quite a while which do you think is better performance gaming wise?
[Blade General] perakesson:
Don't know. Probably no difference since they are based on same code. You should overclock to about 700 mhz for games.
[Blade General] Kuoi:
I've just installed the S2 version with the updated kernel from 17/11/2011 ... and everything seems to working fine.

I've just reinstalled all my apps and settings with TB and all went well.

Very fast and smooth rom.

I'll looking forward to see if battery drain is ok ... It's obvious I can't tell now (just installed).

I have very bad connection with about all roms on my work , so will try this rom.

If it'(s the same , I'll keep it for sure ,and will look for an other carrier.

Thanks you elitemovil for this rom.
[Blade General] Sсhumi:
Hi 2 all!

I use the s1.1 rom on my ZTE Libra.

I would like to thank Elitemovil for this GREAT ROM! This is the best rom I've ever had! It's a leader in battery life - i can use my Libra without recharge for about 2-3 days! Earlier i tried CM7(1 day) and GSF(1,5 day).

Only one a little question i have:

can i change the buttons in power-widget on status line? I don't need the wi-fi, bt, gps buttons. I need 3G-2G, Sync, Sound buttons instead of them.
[Blade General] rjpa123:
Kuoi, I'm eagerly awaiting your feedback of the S2.

Two questions:

a) How does the battery life,speed and memory consumption of this ROM compare to the previous (Froyo stock) ROMs?

b) Are there a any bugs/problems/todo/open issues for this ROM?

I would like your opinion before I flash this ROM.

Please and thank you in advance.
[Blade General] Kuoi:
1 : I can't tell for now , I'll now charge full and will calibrate then . Overnight was -0% , so the overnight drain is proven to be good ;-)

2 : Didn't found any bugs or fc or anything. I even have connection with my carrier ;-)

Hope this helps a bit , Kuoi
[Blade General] AsusFreak:
By accident I found this discussion thread in the Blade General subforum.

I'm just wondering if it couldn't be useful to post experiences about this ROM in only ONE thread. And as there is an original thread, why not there?

Correct me if I'm wrong...
[Blade General] Kuoi:
Because of THIS ...
[Blade General] rjpa123:
Thanks, Kuoi.

Keep us informed of your findings.

I have to keep the stock rom on my new blades for two days so that my carrier can unlock them.

Until then, give feedback, please.

EDIT: Could you please inform me if this ROM has Portuguese (Portugal) locale.
[Blade General] Kuoi:
Yep :

Portugues (Brasil) and Portugues (Portugal)

No negative things found so far on this rom :)
[Blade General] rjpa123:
Thanks again, Kuoi.

...battery life,speed and memory consumption?
[Blade General] Kuoi:
Speed and battery life seems to be very good .

I think I must have tried about every rom avaiable , and this is THE best so far for me.

My priorities are :

1 ) battery life

2 ) speed and smoothness

Hope this helps .

BTW : Memory consumption :confused:
[Blade General] rjpa123:
Thank you, again, Kuoi.

I'll install this ROM on both my parent's (recently acquired) BLADES this weekend. It will be the first BLADE I flash and just I wanted to be sure it will be the last (at least in the next few months).

PS: Memory consumption: When I updated my Optimus 2X from FROYO to Gingerbread, I noticed that I had significantly less free memory available (180MB on FR, 130MB on GB).

All the best.
[Blade General] voodooboy3000:
Top Stuff

I installed this on the wife's Orange San Fran last night coming from Cyanogen 7 and I was very surprised by how quick this ROM is. not heard a peep from her regarding any issues so far.

Big Thumbs up
[Blade General] rjpa123:
Great ROM.

Two questions:

1) Is it necessary to create and EXT partition on the SD card for A2SD to work? If so, how? ..and SWAP/EXT dimensions?

2) Using No-Frills, what values for max/min/governor/scheduler are recommended?

Please and Thank you.
[Blade General] perakesson:
swap size

1.

yes, necessary

easiest is if you do it from Recovery

I use 512 mb ext swap and 64 mb cache

2.

I use smartassV2, 614 / 122.

but I could easily underclock, since it's really fast like this, I don't play fast .games, and I want to save battery.

Good luck with one of the 2 best ROMs that I've tried (The other one is Moldovan Mile-High-Mountain-Pie, based on same kernel) :)
[Blade General] gandalf_grey91:
Hi there,

I'm a bit of a noob. I would like to try this ROM on my bro's OSF. I have put elitemovil's rom on my mother's OMC and it is fantastic. I previously flashed wbaw's gingerstirfry b26 and have converted the OSF to gen2 with his tpt.

But the [GEN3_to_GEN2] in the title is confusing me. Is it gen2 or gen3? Are all custom Android 2.3.5 ROMs for the blade gen3? How big does the system partition need to be?

Obviously if it is gen3 I need to got back to gen1 and then windows tpt to gen 2.

I really don't want to make a mistake.
[Blade General] thaicbr:
Ok. i have just installed S2.. had the proximity problem (half solved, the screen stays on. but thats better than frozen black screen, but does not go off in a call. i wish that could be fixed:))

also had a few problems with the wifi going off and on when downloading from market.

So some questions do i still need the wifi patch? i'm guessing yes.

do i need the new 17/11/11 kernel? not sure if it's in the rom.

well i decided to download and install both the kernal and the wifi patch and its still losing wifi....what is wrong???
[Blade General] sqbo:
Great ROM !!!

But GTA III freeze on loading :(

Wait for s3 ;)
[Blade General] justme1988:
Did someone test the new gsf against this rom to compare it?
[Blade General] Esmiga:
Hi!

First of all i would like to thanks for this rom.

I installed in my phone, but I´ve a problem, when i go to choose the language it only apears English and Swedish.(I want portuguese(Portugal)

I apperciate all the help

Thanks
[Blade General] TomLu1019:
The new s5 is out!
[Blade General] Mithrasx:
Got the S4 and the S5 now. I had the ADB Problem but the Developer provided me a fix and it works like a charm now :)
[Blade General] ricardopt78:
can anyone tell me if the ext3 and liux partitions are really needed for installing the s5?

Thanks
[Blade General] BukkakeMaster:
Elite Blade_Rom 2.3.5 (s5)

Elite Blade_Rom I liked. But it has two problems.

1. No CRT-Animation.

2. With the error exits the menu Settings-Applications is selected Russian language.

Perhaps the creator of this firmware elitemovil lack the experience and knowledge to get rid of these problems. It is a pity. :(
[Blade General] elitemovil:
Hello.

Hello friend ... good I believe that enough good is demonstrated that if I have knowledge on this. I come second, the animation CRT is not integrated because the alarm stops working. Third party, after-taste put in the forum as the problem of the language solves in her s3, and she s5 can be selected by the language that you prefer. Chinese, Espaºol, Italian, etc..

Ok?
[Blade General] BukkakeMaster:
So I edited myself yesterday Framework-res.apk and made CRT-animations. Alarm works like. Today at 7:30 am worked.

A problem with the Russian language I do not know how to fix it.

I'll use it until your firmware. I liked it very. Pretty fast and nice looking. Works especially well for the battery. Much better than the Swedish Snow RLS1 of Modaco. Thank you!:)
[Blade General] lordofazeroth:
I just wanted to thank you for activating Config_tun in kernel :)

Excellent Rom

Lost apps after reboot

Hey guys, I installed this ROM (s5), I made a restore of my apps with Titanium backup, all apps have been installed but when I reboot my phone, all apps disappear. I wiped everything, I formatted the second patrition on SD card, I tried to reinstall this ROM but still the same problem. When I had s4, everything was ok. Any idea how to solve it? Thanks

sound to speaker issue

hi,

i tried many ROMs on my ZTE BLADE V2 yoigo (ES) and all had this problem, including the stock one.

When using Viber or MobileVOIP the sound would go to the external speaker and not the internal one!!

I only use the phone to make VOIP calls and internet so this is a big issue.

The problem was long discussed over the cyanogen, code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2858

One guy, at #55 offers a libaudio.so which appears to fix this problem. Can it be inserted on this rom??? (which from all other tested, stock, cyanogen 7.2 kang this one appears to have the longest battery life)

thanks for any advice.

PS:

1. I tried the trick with opening the Radio App and closing it, does not work with this rom

2. I tried overwritting the libaudio.so inside the zip, copied to the phone and installing it but it fails saying bad zip,something like this..

3. anyone can confirm a ROM version for ZTE that has this problem fixed?

Swedish Snow RLS3 (Modaco)

SwedishSnow RLS3 has "new kernel with undervolted 200mzh & 403mhz freqs"

It had "undervolted cpu & wifi adapter" from RLS1. It is the same as in EliteBlade. Also from WBAW.

[Blade General] BukkakeMaster:
Could be. But the Swedish Snow it's dark and drear. :D

I want to know if this device has a separate data and voice channel ... i mean to say if we can use gprs / edge (not wifi) at the same time when we are in a call ?
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
yes you can on any smartphone
[HTC Incredible S] intelligencexan:
All hspa devices are capable of doing that
[HTC Incredible S] pbeutler:
Then why is it not working??

I also thought so, but my IncS is dropping the data connection as soon as I place or receive a call...

To exclude a phone (HW) issue and/or a network limitation I put my SIM in another IncS and again it didnt work. Put the SIM in a Sensation and it DID!!!

Am I missing a setting or something??? :confused:

Please advice, this has been driving me nuts!!

Thanks :)

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] neo1691:
Hey folks i found a new app on the market!

It is a live wallpaper, but its not just a live wallpaper.

It streams our facebook and twitter updates live on our homescreen.

It is also capable of displaying or events, sms and miss call!!

But unfortunately we are

unable to download it from the market

as market says that our device is incompatible with the app! Thats because it does not officially supports live wallpaper! But since we have rooted phones with live wallpapers enabled we can us this app for sure. That's why i am sharing this app here!

​

See attachment to download!

Special thanks to rudolf for downloading and giving this app via his sgs2
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] hasjee:
looks pretty interresting, any known things about batterydrains with this live wallpaper?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] neo1691:
yes there will be some amount of battery drain considering what streaming settings you use!! :)

Buy the concept is really good!!

I will give it a try thx.

started playing around on github after downloading rogers source for 2.1.

the link on http://opensource.samsung.com for 2.2 was broken. I Emailed them to fix it.

I also put in an official request for Rogers 2.3.3 sources as well, the update got released few months ago now.,

If anyone else would like the Gingerbread sources i suggest you go there and make a request as well and flood their inbox. CLICK THE WEBMAIL BUTTON TOP RIGHT CORNER. their own messaging service says if you dont get a reply in 24 hours to try again. so i will and i suggest others do too.

when writing your request, make sure to say, " You want the source code to study, learn, and to attempt to improve on the coding. " also say things such as " you are from a group of many that are looking to work on this "

If you can put in a request, Thankyou. GOT SOURCES

If you want to check out the souces, as they are uploaded, check them out on my github, and ENJOY!

2.3.3 now up!

https://github.com/TRusselo

As the links, and sources become available i will upload the others.

YES... I know samsung has the option to get them to upload the souce to github for you.... yeah... actually get them to do it!... its on their site for the public, their legal obligation is done. I learned git basics and downloaded and uploaded before i ever (never sofar) got a reply.

THIS THREAD IS FOR ALL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DEVELOPEMENT!!!

I think about 50% of the Post´s in Lees Developement Thread are irrelevant vor him. A Developement Thread is for bugreport, for things which doesnt work, ....

And not for: "When is the next release?" "Can you please include this and this ..." "A third parts app is not working" ...... and so on and so on!

Its Lee´s Rom and its his joice what he will include and what not!

So please Guys post here and keep the Developement Thread clean!!!!!

Best reagrds :D
[HTC EVO 3D] j4n87:
Can someone confirm, that without the dual core scripts the 2nd core never kicks in? The normal behaviour should be that the 2nd core kicks in when the first core is stressed, e.g. setcpu stress test ore playing a 3D game.

Lee confirmed, that he configured the second core to be not so sensible..and said that he will have a look at the config again.

I think the behaviour of the second core is controlled in the system/bin/mpdecision file...I changed it with one of a Evo 3D cdma rom,after that i saw the first time that my second core kicks in in system tuner, it turned on/off several times - altough it shouldn't be needed.

i think the standard config is too sensible, so it was a good move from lee to lower it - but I think now with the current config it seems that the second core is completly turned off =D
[HTC EVO 3D] lichti1901:
Yep i can confirm! My second score never kicks in! Ive flashed the ondemand patch from first post and undervolted -100 and love the battery life now!
[HTC EVO 3D] j4n87:
...I don't like the behaviour, that the second core is always on :) - not very battery friendly

Hope Lee will fix this issue in the next release - hopefully he will use the new base which is flaoting around the gsm forums.
[HTC EVO 3D] lichti1901:
Yeah i know but battery life for my usage is ok! But i know dat right. I really miss 3 days of battery life with my Nexus S! But i know the kernels getting better and better :)
[HTC EVO 3D] thunstop:
what do you guys use to change the volt with lee's kernel ?

I am having huge battery drain and cant figure out what it is!?

getting about 100-300 mA in standby 90% of the time and an everything from 450 - 950 mA while using the phone, some times I don't even use any load on the cpu but it still peaks to 900 mA

I am carefully watching a cpu notification while using the phone and it draws usually 300+ mA with max 10 % cpu load with interactive governor

I tried downclock to 192MHz and disabling second core (since it never enables with lee's new rom) and it still uses the exact same mA. so downclock and disabling doesnt help the powerdrain at all

what to do ? just lost about 10 % by 15 minutes of standby !?

my only thought was that the cpu was giving the same voltage no matter what the frequency is, so if there is any app that could change the volt ?

have any of you had huge power drain ? could anyone try to check how much mA your evo uses in standby with the new kernel and rom ?
[HTC EVO 3D] j4n87:
dont trust the ma values, for me all battery apps are showing 200+ in standby. htc delivers crappy weird ma values and theirs no way to fix that. The dev if battery monitor can confirm that.

...im loosing 1% over night.

Try to reinstall rom without third party app. Are you using htc Mail with exchange - it got a bug which keeps your device awake when in airplane mode.

Theres also an app in the market, where you can check if your phone goes to standby or not..srx dont remember the name - Google it (:
[HTC EVO 3D] thunstop:
well have you tried "battery Monitor widget pro" thats the one I am using, it has an fix for evo 3d to fix mA drain

problem is that I calculated the drain by just simple math and it confirms the mA drain ;/ so the program does really appear to be correct

maybe some one else could try "battery Monitor widget pro" and see if they are experiencing the same mA drain with this program ?

but the strange thing is that it wasnt draining so much before the kernel update and rom, and some times it goes down to normal usage but happens rarely :(

I do not use mail exchange, going to check for the standby program though and try to reinstall without any apps ! thanks for the suggestion :D
[HTC EVO 3D] j4n87:
Yeah, know this app but its not working for me, still shows >200 during screen off also with the special evo 3d fix.

..searched about 30 min to find that app:

Cpu spy from market.

it shows you how long your device is on which frequencies or in deep sleep.

Reset the values in the menu and turn your device off. After a minute check the values.
[HTC EVO 3D] thunstop:
I just tested the cpu spy, and I had the screen off for 5 min, and only deep state was counted, said 90% (5 min)

And 30 second on 192mhz

Seems to be right?
[HTC EVO 3D] j4n87:
yeah, should be fine. And yourre sure, that you lost 10% of battery in 15min of standby? Try calibrating your battery with battery calibration from market.

charge to 100% and then calibrate.
[HTC EVO 3D] thunstop:
yes 100 % sure but i wass messing with the the frequency of the cpu , might be what drained the power because today it has been normal standby time

already used battery calibrating, it did get a little better in standby after that.

but i still have huge power drain by just turning on the screen, and typing

i had just sent a couple of messages through "messenger for facebook" throught an hour and it used 20 % battery and I only turned on the screen, unlocked it typed a fast short messages and turned the screen off again a couple of times

I was connected with Edge all the time (gsm) since 3G was turned off to save battery but still huge power drain.

I just feel like every time the screen is on the % start falling fast :s

thats why I wanted to check out undervolting but cant find a app that supports lee's kernel
[HTC EVO 3D] j4n87:
Use System Tuner from 3c (same dev as battery monitor) to undervolt.

Easy as hell :)
[HTC EVO 3D] thunstop:
Haha thanks, lol I had an old version of system tuner that's why I didn't have any voltage control

Seems like my battery life is a bit more normal now, thanks for all the help and time you spent! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] j4n87:
You're welcome :)
[HTC EVO 3D] lichti1901:
Maybe Edge is the problem for your battery-drain! When my Evo is on Edge it needs way more battery as with 3g!

And try to disable "automatic display light" (no plan how it is called in english). I always use the second stage from 4... i hope you know what i mean! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] thunstop:
Well I did notice that edge drain at least as much as 3g so no point at disabling 3g, I got my battery a little more stable but still use Huge power drain sometimes

But going to reinstall everything, do a clean wipe and stuff and install only the apps I use not all the cap I got now.

Maybe that will help a bit on the battery

still questioning the LeeDrOiD rom for battery life.

I love the rom but miss battery life, sense 3.5 and the new Android version 4(i know the new android version isn't released for htc evo 3d yet though) but really looking forward to it!
