[Atrix 4G General] skynetwork:
seems i am one of the lucky guys over here...

currently 1d 14h on battery with moderate use, still 39% battery lol....

use was moderate, been listening to mp3 for roughly 1.5h, used whatsapp from time to time, pushmail and ebay pushmessages activated and wlan on.... seems to be a pretty nice value. can surely hit 2,5 days with moderate use....

i am on the new cm7 beta with stock cm7 kernel in powersafe mode, using setcpu for underclocking when screen is off (216/216).

so nothing really special at all. i am pretty sure i can even hit 3+ days when flashing faux kernel and start undervolting the cpu...

kinda mystery with this phone. once had the first cm7 with faux kernel flashed, almost everything possible disabled, no pushmessages and hardly reached 1 day with very very moderate use....
[Atrix 4G General] reogac:
I have the same issue and it seems that the google apps keep waking my phone up despite turning off all sync options in Calendar, Mail, Talk ... Before going to bed, I even did kill off all google services, but in the next morning the Google Framework Service is always running and my phone is about 3 hours awake. (I have no monitoring apps installed)

So frustrated, I decided to flash a fresh new CW7 ROM without google apps then using Titanium Backup to restore all neccessary apps . Now the awake/screen on ratio is closed to 100%.
[Atrix 4G General] idealz:
I was also experiencing almost constantly awake on battery stat... I just reflashed CM7 Ba2tF onto my atrix, and the awake time is also closely matching screen on for now... Will have to test it out after playing with it... Hopefully this gives me more battery life. weird tho... I flashed the exact same .zip.
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
Try uninstalling Dialer One if you use it, did miracles for me. Using go contacts instead, much lighter.
[Atrix 4G General] Ciloteille:
Well by turning off alarm (disabling them untill your in bed) should solve it when your awake, and using the phone. Now as far as that goes, start with a clean slate, and install (1/4 of your apps) one day, and see if they cause wake locks. Then try it the next day with different 1/4 of your apps, if it's there, some random app of your pile causing this issue.... Then you need to file down which of these apps are causing serious wakelock issues.

I had this issue with a couple apps, games the constantly got player stats for no reason. Even not playing the game, or force stopping the app did not solve it, as it came back. Also, alarm manager as you can see there caused several thousand hits on wake locks, where your gps (being grabbed from whatever app) is going off only a mere-400 times. (trying the one app at a time will solve this for you, and many other people.)
[Atrix 4G General] ustrucx:
This might be unrelated but i used to have hellish battery issues (24h = 15% left) and everything was solved (2d 1h = 15% left) when i flashed at&t radio and started using cpu master pro. Give it a try maybe you just have a bad radio for your network.
[Atrix 4G General] ltdanno360:
Yes I agree I do like cpu master pro it seems like I get better batt stats with it than set cpu
[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
I was doing okay with stock deblurred. But on CM7, I'm in wakelock hell. Event Log Service is out of control even if I disable syncing. Help!
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
Ditto here. With screen off, phone dropped 19% in 6 hours overnight. I think that's rather absurd.

[Atrix 4G General] ghost_og:
Possibly a rogue app? I'm getting 2-3% drain over night in airplane mode. Open terminal emulater and check your alarm stats:

su
dumpsys alarm

Scroll down to Alarm Stats and see if anything seems to be out of control with wakeups.

May also want to try out one of faux's new kernels since he made some recent changes. I believe CM7 Weekly#2 takes advantage of these, as well. I saw a big improvement in idle drain when swithcing to that build. Got even better after loading up faux's new 0.2.2r enhanced stock.
[Atrix 4G General] Rayan:
Well, I'm not surprised... He barely used the device. Check the display on time!

Cheers!

Thanks for the tip .. found some apps that will do it.

[Atrix 4G General] spiderx_mm:
I read this topic yesterday and follow ur ways to disable alarms, and totally remove Facebook, but to my horror, the phone still can't sleep. So, I did the sysdump alarm. here's the quote from the data

android
50028ms running, 9 wakeups
1 alarms: act=android.intent.action.DATE_CHANGED flg=0x20000004
940 alarms: act=android.intent.action.TIME_TICK flg=0x40000004
2 alarms: act=com.android.server.WifiManager.action.DEVICE_IDLE flg=0x4
111 alarms: act=com.android.server.ThrottleManager.action.POLL flg=0x4
1 alarms: act=android.net.wifi.DHCP_RENEW flg=0x4
2 alarms: act=android.content.syncmanager.SYNC_ALARM flg=0x4
4 alarms: act=com.android.internal.policy.impl.KeyguardViewMediator.DELAYED_

so, i assume that android.intent.action.TIME_TICK is the culprit that responsible for awakening the phone all the time.

Honestly, I don't know what is that. But my reasoning told me it has to do something with the Date & time (so clever, huh?) So, I check Settings > Date & Time and saw that The automatic Time Update setting is switched on.

I switched it off, wait for 2 hours and re-check the phone. Voila!!!! no more wake lock. the phone is in sound sleep.

Hope this will work for you guys in the same situation with me. Just my 2 cents.
[Atrix 4G General] v.k:
I think you should look for wakeups, not for alarms. Android system made only 9 wakeups in your case. In my case, there is a lot of wakeups caused by com.google.android.location and google maps. I'll try to uncheck "Use wireless networks" and see what happens
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
That's likely latitude. I know for me it always keeps my phone awake a lot when I have it enabled.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] amrith.28:
hi. i have created an sd-ext partition using CWM.

i am wondering if it is possible to CHOOSE which apps to move into this new partition.. ??

also, i tried S2E app. i dint quite understand how that app works :( i could not choose the apps !
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] catapult1234:
I believe link2sd can move applications individually.

Cheers

-edit- yup it can -> Click
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] amrith.28:
the advantage of using sd-ext is that ALL THE APP (including its DATA) can be moved to it. Right ??

so link2sd can do this ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] catapult1234:
a2sd can do only that. You cannot choose which app.

link2sd can do individual apps. I have never used it so i dont know all functionalities. Read the thread i linked to. I guess that would answer your question.

Cheers
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] amrith.28:
Link ?? :P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] catapult1234:
Haha. :D Click on "Click" in my reply :rolleyes:

Cheers
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] amrith.28:
THANKS A LOT !! :)

exactly what i was looking for ! Link2Sd is AWESOME !

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChefChaudart:
Hello,

I'm abroad, on holidays, and when I launch Google Maps, it just shows an empty screen with the blue arrow of my position, but nothing more !? :o

If I long-press on the map to put on cache, it stays blocked at 6% !?

Also, when I launch Latitude, it stays stuck at "initialising Latitude" :(

Anyone ?

[Edit]

As I got a second phone (WinMo, & Google Maps is working), I exchanged the sim cards, and ... Bingo ... it is now also working on my Arc :eek: ( and still working on my WinMo)

I really do not understand :confused:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Takyon:
If you're abroad does your sim allow data?

Sent via subspace beacon from my Arc.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChefChaudart:
Yes it allows.

As i said earlier, I put it on my old HD2, and it worked !??

[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I have like 3 private messages per day asking help on the kernel so I decided to write a short tutorial on how to build your own CM7 kernel.

Requirements:

- Linux distro such as Ubuntu (recommended).

- Time and 10 GB.

Instructions:

(Instructions tailored for Ubuntu, somewhat similar for other distros)

1. First we need to download some stuff, open your terminal and type these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg sun-java6-jdk flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi

Toolchain is already included.

If you're in a 64-bit machine, run this command too:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib

2. Open terminal, navigate to a folder where you want the kernel source and type this:

git clone git://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-sniper.git

After the download, navigate (in the terminal of course) to the new folder.

3. Now we need to edit the Makefile in that newly created folder, open it. Look for the flags:

ARCH	?= ...
CROSS_COMPILE	?= ...

Change to:

ARCH	?= arm
CROSS_COMPILE	?= /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-

Save and close.

4. Now we need a .config file. Run this command (the terminal must be in that kernel folder where Makefile is):

make ARCH=arm cyanogenmod_hub_defconfig

Voilá, you can find the .config in the folder (control+h to show hidden files).

5. Edit the kernel as you want. You can grab some ideas from my incomplete source of knzo kernel for CM7: http://github.com/mnlsrv/kernel

6. Let's compile it! Run the command:

make -j4

In the end you'll get a zImage and .ko files (modules).

7. Now use unpackbootimg or Dsixda kitchen to unpack CM7's boot.img (you can extract it from a nightly), replace zImage with yours and repack.

8. Now you need to flash the boot.img; just use the zip for knzo kernel and replace the boot.img for yours; replace the modules too (/system/lib/modules).

9. Flash and enjoy.

Hope I didn't forget to mention any step.
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
I am not an active dev, but would like to thank you at the first place. Any beginner in android development will surely be grateful to this simple step wise guide....:)
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
A few tips:

Custom governors go into /drivers/cpufreq.

Custom I/O schedulers go into /block/.

For each addition you need to change Kconfig and Makefile. Then the .config will need to be updated and this is automatic when you run the make command. Open and edit .config when you're more familiar with all of it.

Here https://github.com/mnlsrv/kernel/commits/master you can see some commits (changes) I did to the kernel and if you click on one of it, it will show exactly how and which files were changed.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Only a remark:

- To completely add a governor, you have to edit /include/linux/cpufreq.c too in order to set a different default governor without compile errors.

;)
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
if i have more time ,i'll have a try :p

thank you knzo,you did a great job!
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
So kind of you knzo... I'll definitely try this if I still have black.... :)

However... Black is still the best phone I ever had.... miss my black very much...

Keep the good works guys, i keep my eyes to this community, wondering how far this device will go....

Beginners guide to making kernel images

Here I have logged down my own experiences with making Optimus Black kernel binary. Being a Windows person myself I know how troublesome and confusing a development under MinGW can get so I decided to do it under VirtualBox instead. I sincerely hope that the steps described below are a good reference to everybody who is interested in modding his or her own kernel but hasn't gotten over the administrative burden yet. Written as from beginner to beginner I tried to be as concise as possible, leaving out nothing important and everything optional. Just enough to get from zero to updated kernel on your phone.

1. Prepare the environment

Download VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and install it. I downloaded version 4.1.6 which was the latest version at the moment (http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.6/VirtualBox-4.1.6-74713-Win.exe)

Download Ubuntu from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download and install it under VirtualBox. I downloaded latest 32-bit version (http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download?distro=desktop&bits=32&release=latest). Install Guest Additions afterwards as well if you want to use clipboard between host and guest operating systems.

Open terminal and create a folder under your home directory for all the things involved.

mkdir android
cd android

Install Git and get the kernel source. I had to use http protocol as git protocol was blocked for me.

sudo apt-get install git
git clone http://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-kernel-sniper.git

2. This is the part where you change the code

Done? Move to the next step and cross your fingers. For the purpose of this guide we are not changing anything.

3. Make the kernel image

Go to kernel directory

cd lge-kernel-sniper

Install Arm toolchain and make the kernel image

sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi lzma
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-
make cyanogenmod_hub_defconfig
make

There was one thing I had to modify before make completed without errors. Inside drivers/net/wireless/bcm4329 I had to remove -Werror from the Makefile because the warnings were considered as errors otherwise. If everything goes well you'll find zImage under arch/arm/boot directory.

4. Create and deploy the update image

(see also http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350679)

Download Kernel Injector update image template

cd ..
wget -O output.zip http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=785468

Update zImage inside update.zip

zip -j update.zip lge-kernel-sniper/arch/arm/boot/zImage

Update modules inside update.zip

mkdir modules
find lge-kernel-sniper/ -name "*.ko" -exec cp {} modules \;
zip -d update modules/\*
zip update modules/*

Use your favourite method of getting the update.zip to your phone's SD card, boot into recovery and flash.

Good luck! And as always - comments and suggestions are most welcome!

So if you don't know already, KEMCO has been non-stop dropping awesome RPGs on Android. If I recall correctly, these are the same people behind a lot of awesome classics like Shadowgate, Deja Vu, the Sword of Hope series and Dragon View.

Their first Android hit, however, was

Symphony of the Eternity

, which is currently at

a near-perfect rating of 9/10

.

Just by having some general keyboard compatibility, you could already control movement and NPC interaction with the Xperia gamepad, but it was imperfect because you'd still have to use the touch screen for almost everything menu related... but as of this latest release (1.0.8)

it's completely Xperia PLAY Optmized

! Menu control, quick map, and even the game launcher... everything works with the Xperia PLAY controls now!

It's a fantastic throwback - but has a deep enough class/technique system so that it doesn't feel outdated or RPG-Maker-ish. I beat it already, but I think this just made me happy enough to beat it one more time and master all skills with all characters!

Only $2.99, CHECK IT OUT!

I'm hoping Alphadia's up next. Put some Xperia PLAY controls on that and I'll keep the tradition going of me buying every KEMCO RPG.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
Certainly now I will try it again. I bought it for the SGS, didn't beat it because it was too hard to use the touch controls, and I've been hoping to use the Play's ones. The ridiculous dialogs will not disappear though...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] dannejanne:
Seems like a pretty solid RPG in good old retro style. How I loved Shadowgate when I was little! In fact I played through it again just a month ago.

This one reminds me a fair lot of Lufia 2 for the SNES. The battle system that is. They must have taken inspiration from it. Thanks for your youtube vids! How long did it take for you to finish this game? I'm on my second Chrono Trigger playthrough at the moment and don't want to start another time consuming game before I finish it. Now I'm off to bring Crono back on Death Peak!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Miles Wolf:
Looks like a game made with an old version of RPG Maker... :/

Zenonia 1, 2 and 3 are much better.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Aekio:
This one is a JRPG Old School game and it is fantastic in its plot and gameplay!

I love Zenonia Series, but these two are completely different in genre so you just can't compare them together.

I managed to beat it since the very first xperia play optimize released, at the time when you have to use both touch screen and d-pad on xperia game pad. The control was kinda annoyed but its story and gameplay drove me to the end of the game.

Recommended for any JRPG lovers. This one is full of twists!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Wow, the new update adds voices and makes special attacks more dramatic.

Sounds like a small thing, but the game feels a lot more "defined" now. It actually feels like it's own thing instead of just a FF clone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TKFT44:
For a week or so now, whenever I go to the Android Market, and then go to My Apps to check for updates, there is not a single app listed there. There is no error message given. I am on the right account (I have only one Gmail account on the phone). Also, I tried clearing the cache and clearing the data from the Market in Settings > Manage Applications. I am rooted and unlocked on a stock MoPho ROM. I also tried uninstalling the market updates and using Titanium Backup's Market Doctor.

Thanks for any help.

I wrote this on my MoPho.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
That's odd. Do your apps display on market.android.com?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
This -

sounds like your gmail account might be jacked up. Possibly using on more than one device? I mean you can use it on more than one device - I do. But I am not sure if it would do something like this in an odd situation.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TKFT44:
Yes, they are there on the web market.

Honestly, at this point it seems like a backend issue with Google.

If I search for an app that's installed, it shows up as installed. It will even tell me it can be updated if there is an update. This is on the phone Market, not the web.

I wrote this on my MoPho.
[Motorola Photon 4G] IP IHI II IL:
You may want to check which GMail acct. The market is using when you check your apps. I have 3 accts on my phone, and the same has happened to me, because the market switches them from time to time. You can check by going to "my apps" and hitting menu. You'll see an accounts option. Hitting that will tell you which acct the market is using, and allow you to switch back to your primary.

Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!

[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
Me to but I think it happened when I installed an updated market.apk.

[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
I've had the identical experience starting the day before yesterday. The account is correct and i even deleted my other account just in case. I tried uninstalling the market update and freezing the updater but that gives me an error message when i go to My Apps and crashes the market. A few apps will show on my other account's but not nearly all.

market just started doing the same thing. Never happened before. Weird...
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigbrown:
happening here too

Is anyone having this issue on the 3.3.1.1 market?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beach_Head:
Do you mean 3.3.11?

I haven't experienced it yet. But it happened to me a few times on the previous version.

I just went to data/data/com.android.vending, deleted everything, deleted data/dalvik-cache, rebooted and everything synced perfectly afterwards...
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yes. the 3.3.11 I hit too many periods. I haven't had this issue either. Nor did I ever with previous versions of the market, so I'm not sure, that is kinda strange.
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
I posted just before your post the new market didn't change anything.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Hm. That is strange. And clearing cache and such didn't work? Do you possibly have a backup of before the problem started?
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
Yep, I restored a nandroid backup and no change.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Enes_81:
I have this problem to using market 3.3.11, deleted app data, deleted dalvik cache restored to older market, but it is still blank.

Just installed a ROM which already had 3.3.11 included first 2 times market crashed then it worked it was showing al my apps, but after reboot again blank.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Turge:
I have this problem on both my EVO 3D and HP TouchPad which is running CM7. It started on Monday or Tuesday.

Both have the same gmail account configured. I have cleared market data and even went as far as performing a factory reset.

I have to admin, this problem is pretty annoying.

I filled out the contact form a couple of days ago but haven't heard back from anyone: http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/request.py?contact_type=market_phone_tablet
[Motorola Photon 4G] mxmarcus:
Have the same issue but was able to fix it every time by uninstalling the market update

Home, Menu, Manage Applications, Market and uninstall update.

I may be requesting further information about the circumstances of this issue, and I really appreciate your continued patience and cooperation in resolving this situation.

I also googled all market apps missing and saw recent posts by others with different phones, so it doesn't look like it's just us.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Hm. Google ****ed up the market. But all the apps still show in the online market correct?
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
Yep, online market is fine. Also, all my apps show using my tablet on the same account.

How did you contact them? I haven't heard back from them after filling out the online form twice.
