partial wakelocks are a significant factor in battery drain. check your battery usage graph and see if ur phone is spending a lot of time awake while the screen is off. use better battery stats or battery history in spare parts to determine the cause of your wakelocks. for my case, it's always been "alarm manager" sucking my battery's juice up. never did figure out what was causing it, but eventually it went away and i got very good battery life for a few days until it came back. here's hoping it goes away again eventually....im reserving my next fastboot wipe for either the final CM7 build or hopefully a beta ICS build :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] matematic:
It shows partial wake usage of Android system of 3 h and 26 min from overall 22 h on battery. The next one is the Email client 1 h and 36 min. Could that be the reason? On the battery stat I see a lot of wake ups when screen is off.

EDIT: Yes it is the Alarm manager making partial wake usage. Is that normal ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] spiderx_mm:
flashed the Weekly#3 today.

Battery drainage is still with faux123 kernels. (at least, 1GHz and 1.3 GHz) original CM7 kernel has better battery life for my phone.

FP Scanner is not as usable as default FP Scanner. need a lot to change.

GPS is ok. Location is fixed in less than 5 seconds
[Atrix 4G Android Development] andyman_187:
I wouldnt say "normal" per se, but from what ive backread, it seems a lot of users also experience partial wakelocks due to the alarm manager. As for ur email client, if ur refresh interval is set to shorter times, then i guess that would also cause wakelocks when ur phone is idle and with data or wifi enabled since it will be constantly pushing email to ur inbox. In my experience, (weekly 3, clemsyns 1.0ghz kernel) i get on average 16 hours with wifi on and background data on, 3 hours of screen time. This is with the alarm manager wakelock issue take note. I used to get a full day when the problem went away and my phone was sleeping as it should be. Hope those days come back.....

Honestly though, i wudnt spend too much time thinking about my battery and just start enjoying the rom...as it is, its already reliable enough to use everyday, and it can only get better. Try playing some riptide or shadowgun and pretty soon u wont mind being tied to ur charger :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] matematic:
I did some investigation what is making the partial wake ups and fount that

com.android.gsf which is the gtalk is making bad things. I removed also the news and weather application and didn't install anything like google maps etc. Now my battery stats looks much different with a lot less partial wake ups mainly because of whatsapp and mail client. If you are interested I can share the modified google apps package. I'll keep looking my stats but so far everything seems normal.

<edit>

the stats look like this

65 alarms: act=com.google.android.intent.action.GTALK_RECONNECT flg=0x4

139 alarms: flg=0x4

181 alarms: act=com.google.android.intent.action.GTALK_HEARTBEAT flg=0x4

</edit>
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jiggytom:
Can you please share? I am having the same issue but don't even have gtalk installed...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eddhard:
This is just android. I had it on every android device I've used.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] morrislee:
Why not just say mom and sister?? Goes to the same number and extension anyway. say if you sister picked up when you call mom, the it is not accurate anyway.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] matematic:
I'm still investigating the issue because the alarms continue to do wake ups. I installed the stock rom for testing and guess what. The same alarms appear there as well.

One thing which I noticed about the stock kernel is that it has more CPU frequency steps than the one used in CM7.

1000, 912, 816, 750, 608, 456, 312, 216 and Deep Sleep

and the most used steps are 216 and 316 Mhz. Of course deep sleep most of the time.

Could someone post what frequency steps we have with CM. I can't remember and I don't have time today to install back CM.

you can use CPU SPY from the market.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] hoodlikegaza:
Is there a way to change the finger print image on the lock screen?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drmouse81:
Anyone?

I did read something about an RC of CM7 which had a similar problem, and this was caused by problems with the Wifi kernel module.

It's getting bad enough that I may have to revert to my nandroid, something I really don't want to do as CM runs SO much better. I may try the latest Beta instead first, but I'd rather keep the FP scanner.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] guidoido004:
I had it, but instead of pulling out the battery, i tried another finger after the 30secs. It worked to me(i have all fingers scanned, xp)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
You didn't have this issue then. Security locks you out for 30seconds if you have incorrect wipes, then you can swipe again and get into your phone. If you have this issue, the 30 second cycle repeats constantly so you can't swipe your finger.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ishamm:
Is there any where I can directly compare the features of the latest weekly versus the latest nightly, I'd like to have the most up to date cm possible, I don't mind a bit of instability. I'm currently using weekly Nov 23, is there anything newer than this?

Otherwise, awesome work on a fantastic ROM, never encountered any issues, and looking forward to 9!

Cheers
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jack'O:
In CM (weekly3): 1000, 912, 750, 608, 456, 312, 216.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
That's the newest weekly. But u would know that if u read the op. And clicked the weekly link. U would also know the date the last nightly was released by going to that thread and clicking the link there and following it to the download site. So see u didn't even have to ask!

Sent from my MB860
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ishamm:
of course i can see that, but what i am asking is which has more newer features. perhaps i phrased it wrongly, and i did of course check both. (otherwise i wouldnt have been able to be using the latest weekly..)

from what i understand the nightlies have more experemental features? but the latest nightly came out a while before the newest weekly. does this mean the weekly contains the features carried from that nightly as well?

thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jdrials:
I had this issue a while back, but in my case it was saying "UI timed out, try again in 30 seconds." and it would cycle through keeping me locked out... In my case after fiddling with it for a bit, I found it was my UV settings... Somehow its related to the kernel you're using and the settings of said kernel. Play with it until you get it stable.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
Only did it twice. I flash back and forth so much from 2.3.5 to CM7 and vice-versa that whatever was the issue fixed itself. I flash nandroid and have same UV settings every time as I have had it stable for many weeks in my daily. This issue just popped up out of the blue and went away again as quickly.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] joe ferreira:
look at the download date and then look at the github commits on https://github.com/Atrix-Dev-Team

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------

now that I look at this the only commit that has been released that is not in the weekly is this one. not that big of a deal.

Do you know what are the changes in the new prebuild kernel and modules?

GPS problem

Hi all,

I can't use the GPS, I tick the GPS in the setting but it does'nt start.

Once ticked in setting, I go back to my home and return to the GPS setting but it doesn't remain ticked...

Any idea for me ? It's the last problem on my phone, everything work well.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] matematic:
GPS works perfectly for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ahager88:
Here as well. Best GPS experiences I've ever had with any GPS-capable device for that matter....

Thank you for your continued support, team. Develop on!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] YBrazeau:
Same here .. no problem what so ever ..

I would suggest a clean wipe and a reflash .. !
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tapeworm_george:
I did not have this exact problem but in the beta builds of CM7 I had a lot of gps trouble and almost abandoned the rom because of them. The solution turned out to be a matter as simple as re-flashing the radio via sbf for consistent near instant gps locks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] drmouse81:
OK, looks like I may have solved my problem as well as gained performance.

I flashed faux123's CM7 kernel (1.45GHz) and my device hasn't crashed since. Looks like something in the kernel I was using was ####ing up.

Does CM7 weekly #3 include a kernel, or would it have just used my existing kernel? If it includes one, there is some sort of issue with it as far as I can tell, although I don't know what (and don't currently have time to look for it)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ishamm:
I'm on weekly 3, but have had this minor I issue with every version of cyanogen I have used so far. When I connect the phone to my PC via USB,I need to unplug it and plug it back in a few times before it will stay connected long enough to be able to transfer files. Is this a common issue, or an I alone in having tho do this? As I say it's a minor issue, but if there is a fix anyone knows it would be handy. thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bamastang:
I don't know if I have that issue or not.. I haven't hooked my phone up to a computer in months..

Just a suggestion, if you are just hooking up for file transfer, try using ES File Explorer

You can transfer files wirelessly to/from your phone. Hope this helps.(Hint if you are using AVG, you may have to disable firewall while transferring.)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] crabfriedrice:
Anyone having problems with the vibrate on ring or vibrate on hangup? I have already unchecked it in call settings and disabled haptic feedback in dialer preferences.

I am on weekly 3.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zxo0oxz:
Hi, I'm on weekly 3 and I got the problem with the lockscreen where it constantly says "please wait 29 seconds." I was trying another rom, and when I flashed the nandroid back this happened. I've tried just about everything, any recommendations before I try a factory reset?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ECdOc:
Been running the Weekly #3 since it came out. For those of you on Weekly #3 that updated the kernel to Faux123 kernel, how did you do it? I keep getting stuck on dual screen logo when I update the kernel, so have to revert to my Nandroid. Are you using the fingerprint reader? I am curious how I can get this kernel working so that I can use undervolting. Love CM7, battery life is better than ever and with the fingerprint support not much more I can ask for. Thanks in advance.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bamastang:
I am running weekly #3 with Faux's 1.45 version 022R. Flashed it with RomRacers latest recovery. And I am using the FP reader for unlock and with Data defender for apps.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] spiderx_mm:
I just use CWM Recovery from Rom Manager to do that. Need to clear the cache before and after installing the kernel. It should work
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
Well you don't need to clear cache after. But before yes.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] turl1:
bump :rolleyes:

Just a heads up, there's a new weekly uploaded.

If you had trouble with Dock Audio, or you wish to try Jonathan Bensen's Bluetooth MAP patches you might want to give it a try :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jimbush3:
Fyi, post 1 has an extra http:// in the link. Also, downloading and thanks.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] turl1:
I don't see any extra http:// on the weekly link on post 1 :confused: Link works fine
[Atrix 4G Android Development] timfoote:
Downloading new weekly now :D

EDIT: not off to a good start. Cleared cache, flashed new weekly, phone was on for about 5 minutes after booting up and when I went to use it it was turned off! I'll try again..

EDIT 2: rebooted the phone and seems to be stable again..weird!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ydgmms:
try a full wipe and reinstall.

working fine for me so far.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Nipit:
Changelog would be nice to see :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Girgizzlemuf:
Flashed weekly #4 right over the top of weekly #3; reinstalled faux .2.2 enhanced. Wiped cache/dalvik cache and so far we are golden. Did have to fix permissions on boot because of a stack of force closes, but i think that more had to do with launcher pro and a couple apps i had installed. Noticed a bit better response with the fingerprint reader. Gonna try the car dock here in a few minutes as i head home from work. So far so good though :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jack'O:
Flashed newly after triple wipe, all right.

New config for FingerPrint in Settings>Device Settings>Fingerprint sensor navigation.

(scroll down ad NAV Enable > Disable - for no trackpad use)

Great!!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ishamm:
Weekly #4 installed fine over previous, cache and dalvik wipe, reinstalled clemsys kernel, will post any bugs when found. Seems to be more free ram than before when all apps closed, can't be a bad thing!

Quadrant score of 4178 @ 1.4 GHz for those that like to compare XD
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Notorious544d:
Does Weekly 4 have LS HDMI?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jimbush3:
Strange, when I click the link from my phone it adds an extra http//.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sk8trix:
So is it safe to install over weekly #3?

Also is flash working this time around?

Anyone noticing any bug or changes in battery life?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jotokun:
Nope, its still portrait only.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ethantarheels123:
Dat extra http:// is because ur using xda app on phone. clicking the link from xda website itself doesnt do that. One question... wats new in weekly 4?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] gustrick:
I flash it over only with a wipe dalvick and wipe cache

No problem

Works fine

Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sk8trix:
Kool and thanks too will be flashing this as soon as my phone charges.Hey guys anyone having any luck with flashplayer??? anyone or are we still screwed on that area lol???
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
Is there a change log for Weekly #4?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ltdanno360:
they generally have one built in but... its always a good practice to flash one after the first boot to ensure it didnt get borked during flashing the rom
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ltdanno360:
i have been useing the adobe flash player 10.2 it works for me if i update to 11 it doesnt work soo i just dont update it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sk8trix:
I keep reading this everywhere.I tried the older flash apk and still it didn't run at all for me so idk if there's is like a specific version or apk to use.I used 10.2 and didn't work for me.Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] t.s.eliot:
No problems here either. I did a fastboot wipe just to be cautious. Everything installed perfectly, and running on the 10-December weekly (with Faux123 1.45 GHZ Stopgap+ kernel). Quadrant scores averaging about 4500, and no unplanned reboots / force closes.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kix08:
I used 10.2 from different download links and all work for me. Make sure you uninstall version 11 before you install 10.2 just for good mesures

MiUi+darkice 2.3theme+ics keyboard+ cascading transitions on launcher= BEST ICS look alike!! thanks AtriXDA Developers!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Note_E:
Clear cache and dalvick after flashing? Or before?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kix08:
Before

MiUi+darkice 2.3theme+ics keyboard+ cascading transitions on launcher= BEST ICS look alike!! thanks AtriXDA Developers!!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sdlopez83:
Use same procedures when flashing miui as you would cm7 or any other rom. However, this is not an miui thread .
[Atrix 4G Android Development] t.s.eliot:
I haven't seen a full change log, but here is what I've noticed so far.

1. Settings now has a menu for adjusting the fingerprint sensor navigation (Device Settings).

2. Dock Audio transition has improved. I used to lose all sound on Weekly #3 when I took my phone out of the car dock. Now, phone audio survives when you take it out of the dock.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] okaiuz:
hi, how i can change the lockscreen image(android on finger print)?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jack'O:
Don't know if work, i don't use FP:

Settings>Cyanogenmod Settings>Lockscreen>Style options>Chose background.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] okaiuz:
this will work if you don't use FP reader

i will change the fingerprint image background
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jack'O:
So i don't know.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] yeahmann:
The fingerprint unlock is a lot faster. Google Talk isn't dropping out anymore, though that may have been an AT&T problem. The only things left on my wishlist are album art on the unlock screen using Music 4.0 and a music widget on the fingerprint unlock screen.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] DeathKoil:
The following has happened to be twice since installing weekly four:

I will unlock the phone, and the home screen will display like it is supposed to, however the touch screen will be unresponsive. Haptic feedback still works in the bottom buttons, but the display will not change to reflect that those buttons are being pressed. If I hold down the power button, the phone will vibrate after three seconds, but will not show the dialog to shutdown, reboot, take a screen shot, etc. The only way to hey the phone responsive again is to pull the battery and reboot.

Att Atrix

Weekly4

Stock kernel

Installed with a data wipe

Edit: both times this happened after the phone had been asleep for several hours.

DK
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ECdOc:
Well, I guess something was up with my install of Weekly #3...I updated to Weekly #4 and flashed the kernel and it works fine now. :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] whiteline:
updated #4 over #3 (cache, dalvik), no significant changes in behavior...

catch up cpu 100% by fingerprint service few times (the only solution - reboot).

Has anyone problems with FingerPrint Nav Options dialogue? It opens and closes immediately with event "6" (according to catlog).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nsaia:
Has there been an answer to this question? I'm having the same problem.

People on the other end think I'm standing next to a duck! :p
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ydgmms:
Had the same issue here. I know this was in an issue in CherryBlur also.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phalanx7621:
Sounds like either a bad flash or that u didn't wipe before flashing.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Note_E:
Yes because software never has any bugs. He experienced a bug MANY others have including myself. Did I forget to wipe too?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] iammodo:
hi there just a quick question

Wife is on cm7 official but has high battery % for phone standby.

Looking to flash this build over. T-mobile uk. Just a wipe and flash job or will I need any more steps?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] maulich:
Did you?......
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ishamm:
I have my atrix on Tmobile in the UK, will flashing a different radio to the one on CM7 give any advantages, is it necessary?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ears1991:
If you havnt already got radio 1.100 then defo do it, way better battery life!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
not for everyone...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PakaPakaxz:
Great, now i can disable the navigation with the fingerprint sensor (maybe add a note that you have to restart the device after modifying it).

Got today a freeze and auto restart after unplugging the device from pc trough USB.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] yeahmann:
Any way to get just the stock CM7 kernel? I want to revert to it. I tried flashing the boot.img but it disabled my WiFi.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] d11dog11:
Since flashing this version when I turn off the screen it turns right back on. It usually turns back off after the lockscreen times out. I reflashed the rom over top again but no help. This was not an issue on the official nighties. Thoughts?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sipjca:
I'm kinda dissapointed in Weekly #4, I'm getting worse batter life, even with a battery stats wipe. Not sure what's using my battery so much in idle, I mean its draining just as fast when I have the screen on which is odd. New radio needed perhaps? Before I could easily be at 80% when I got home (around 7PM and unplugging at 7AM) on weekly 3. Now its like at 60% :/

Useable but not ideal.

Sipjca
[Atrix 4G Android Development] turl1:
Disable fingerprint navigation, or don't keep your finger on the button after locking your phone.

---------- Post added at 05:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 AM ----------

Just reflash the ROM on top, no wipe.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] whiteline:
reflash your CM7 version without data wipe (

but

wipe cache and dalvik cache).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
Installed Weekly #4 Every thing silky smooth, got random freeze leading to reboot (this happens in messaging app and in browser and for that matter this can happen any ware)

Noticed cpu is not getting the juice so reverted back the UC settings and no reboot since then UC again and ran bunch of test (stress and benchmarks all stable for now).

Will report any thing odd if i find some.

Using faux123 2.2 stock frequency kernel
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sk8trix:
Running weekly #4 here with no problems at all.Using faux123 1.45 kernel as well and things are good at 1.45 battery life isn't too long but at 1.1 battery life seems to be the same as 1GHz so about 10 hours of moderate usage including video and games.

Fingerprint feels the same as weekly 3 and using fingerprint navigation is really annoying but no biggie.RAM seems higher by a few MB which is good I guess...other than that just happy with this build it seems some bugs here and there are not present that were on weekly 3 so far its awesome cannot wait until the official release is out it will be great.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vazay:
Just installed weekly #4, where can i find fingerprint options/enabling ?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mobileweasel:
The only thing I noticed is that my wifi is flakey. Its a bugger to get it connected. You think re-flashing the radio would help any ?? Besides the wifi thing, 3g and all else if fine.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dp28688:
any update to the freezing problem using weekly over the ba2tf? mine freezes a lot where i have to plug into charger to get it to wake up.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bamastang:
dp.. I have never had this problem on Ba2tf, so I can't attest to that. However I have been running weekly 4 for a few days now, and to me it seems to be overall better than the Ba2tf build. I have had no problems what so ever. Good luck.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jzaslice:
Settings>>device settings

Just flashed over weekly 3, running great so far, haven't tested wifi yet but like I said everything running as smooth as ever. I love using the finger print unlock again, so much snappier than any other build.
